Are The New Addresses Behind UNI’s Latest Pump
Just as with other decentralized finance tokens, Uniswap’s UNI has seen a meteoric rise in valuation in the past weeks, a move that is presumably being fueled by the rising number of new addresses. The token is up 0.1% in the past 24 hours according to CoinGecko, complementing the weekly gain of 39.4% and a monthly surge of 255.3%.
Uniswap is now trading at $19.22 at the time of writing but the on-chain data that suggests the influx of new investors stocking up the UNI tokens. There has been a lot of volatility in the crypto and DeFi ecosystem this year with the latter seeing about $30 billion locked in asset terms. While the UNI tokens will attempt to form big support around its $20 all-time high price, it will continue to rely on either its old investors to add to their holdings or new ones to take up a position with the DeFi token.
Amid these recent upticks, the total value of assets locked on Uniswap not tops $3.34 billion according to DeFi Pulse, up from about $3 billion recorded in mid-November.
