<p>Uniswap, the giant of decentralized finance, has just announced a significant upgrade of UniswapX. This technical evolution comes in a context of turbulence for the UNI crypto, facing regulatory challenges and bearish pressure in the markets.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-uniswap-hides-40-million-for-unsuspected-activities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Uniswap Labs</a> has unveiled a major overhaul of the information flow on UniswapX quotes. This update aims to increase transaction speed and optimize their execution.</p>

<p>According to the official <a href="https://coingape.com/uniswap-announces-major-upgrade-whats-next-for-uni/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a> on X, “<em>the new update will increase quote speeds, improve transaction execution, and ensure that more MEV is returned to swappers</em>.”</p>
<p>This technical innovation comes at a critical time for Uniswap. The UNI token is currently down 15.5% for the month, trading around $7.67. Selling pressure has intensified recently, with WazirX’s operator becoming the top UNI seller this week.</p>
<p>Paradoxically, this difficult period for UNI contrasts with a resurgence of overall activity in the DeFi sector in 2024. Spot Bitcoin ETF approvals have stimulated institutional participation, leading to a significant increase in assets under management and transaction volumes in the first quarter.</p>

<p>Despite this bearish context, several factors suggest a potential rebound for UNI. Recent whale activity around the token suggests a possible resurgence of interest from large investors. Furthermore, the upcoming launch of <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-uniswap-reveals-its-roadmap-towards-v4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Uniswap v4</a>, scheduled for the third quarter of 2024, could act as a powerful catalyst.</p>
<p>However, challenges remain numerous. The regulatory pressure exerted by the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-sec-plunges-uniswap-into-turmoil/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC</a> constitutes a sword of Damocles for Uniswap. Moreover, competition is intensifying in the DeFi sector, with the emergence of new innovative platforms.</p>
<p>The upcoming arrival of <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-official-launch-of-ethereum-etfs-on-july-23/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum ETFs</a> in the United States could, however, offer new opportunities. This opening to traditional players could inject new dynamism into the crypto market, potentially benefiting established players like Uniswap.</p>
