Leading decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap (UNI) recorded a notable surge of 70% in price on February 23. The primary driving force behind this rise was the decision to change the fee mechanism aimed at benefiting individuals who stake UNI tokens. The proposed fee-sharing system encourages UNI holders to stake and delegate their tokens, promoting greater participation in the DEX’s governance ecosystem. Moreover, data indicates that investors have shifted their focus from <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/ai/" data-wpel-link="exclude">artificial intelligence</a> altcoins to decentralized finance (<a href="https://coin-turk.com/dunyanin-en-buyuk-kripto-varlik-yoneticisi-grayscale-defi-fonu-baslatacak" data-wpel-link="internal">DeFi</a>). 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-defi-gains-momentum-following-ai-s-hype-strong">DeFi Gains Momentum Following AI’s Hype</h2> 
The recent significant price increase for UNI reflects a broader trend in the <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/analysis-of-the-defi-sectors-performance-as-2023-nears-its-end/" data-wpel-link="internal">DeFi</a> sector, according to data compiled by on-chain data provider Santiment. Notable value increases have been observed in all DeFi protocols, including UNI, COMP, SUSHI, and AAVE.

The rise in the value of DeFi assets particularly followed Uniswap’s significant proposal to reward staked and delegated token holders. Concurrently, investor interest in DeFi solutions has increased. 
The rise of DeFi protocols indicates a shift in focus among investors away from previously hyped sectors such as artificial intelligence. Trading volumes in various DeFi protocols have significantly increased, reflecting the market’s growing interest in DeFi. For instance, COMP’s price rose along with a 411% increase in trading volume, while SUSHI saw a 27% price increase accompanied by a surprising 153% surge in trading volume. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-high-expectations-for-other-defi-protocols-strong">High Expectations for Other DeFi Protocols</h2> 
Analysts and market observers predict a positive momentum for other DeFi protocols like Blur and Lido Finance following Uniswap’s fee-sharing proposal. This situation has led to investors moving their capital from artificial intelligence altcoins to DeFi altcoins due to the higher return potential and increased activity in the DeFi ecosystem. 
The emerging market trend, with investor sentiment shifting towards DeFi protocols, has seen major artificial intelligence altcoins like Worldcoin (WLD), Render (RNDR), and The Graph (GRT) trading in the red as investors turn their focus to DeFi opportunities. 
This capital rotation is part of the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market, which can quickly change trends and investor preferences in response to shifting market dynamics and growth opportunities.
