Uniswap

DeFi

<p>Uniswap’s native token UNI witnessed a strong rally on Friday, February 23. The major catalyst behind the 70% Uniswap price rally is the decentralized exchange changing the fee mechanism to benefit those staking the UNI tokens.</p>
<p>The proposal advocates for the introduction of a fee-sharing system that incentivizes <a href="https://coingape.com/uniswap-uni-surges-over-50-on-staking-rewards-proposal/?utm_source=sidebartabnews" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">UNI holders</a> to stake and delegate their tokens, thereby enhancing involvement and activity within the governance ecosystem.</p>

<p>On-chain data provider Santiment highlights a shift in focus from the AI craze to the burgeoning decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.</p>
<p>According to Santiment, assets facilitating decentralized lending, borrowing, and exchange of cryptocurrencies, such as $UNI, $COMP, $SUSHI, and $AAVE, have experienced notable increases in value. This surge in value follows a pivotal proposal within the Uniswap ecosystem, which aims to reward staked and delegated token holders.</p>
<p>The rising prominence of DeFi protocols underscores a growing interest among investors in decentralized financial solutions, diverting attention from the previously hyped AI sector.</p>

<p>Recent market trends reveal a significant surge in decentralized finance (DeFi) assets, accompanied by a corresponding decline in the value of <a href="https://coingape.com/ai-tokens-rally-after-nvidia-earnings-correction-ahead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AI coins</a>, signaling a notable capital rotation within the cryptocurrency market.</p>
