• Uniswap recorded an impressive November with total generated fees topping $58 million.
• The protocol benefitted from Binance challenges that pushed investors to seek DEX alternatives.

Uniswap, one of the world’s leading Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) hit a remarkable milestone in November as it closed the month with the highest fees in 6 months, as reported by DefiLlama. 

Uniswap’s Impressive November Figures

Recent data from DefiLlama revealed that Uniswap generated over $58.34 million in protocol fees in November, surpassing the $32.93 million recorded in October. This surge marked a 77 percent uptick from October, with transaction fees reaching multi-month highs. The spike in fees can be attributed to a significant increase in trading activity, with 1.3 million active users on the DEX, the highest since June.

Trading volume on Uniswap also experienced substantial growth, reaching $43.43 billion in November, a 73 percent increase from October’s $25 billion. Despite trading in a tight range during the last two weeks of November, UNI’s price climbed by over 47.36 percent throughout the month, reflecting a positive market sentiment.

Additionally, UNI’s open interest in the futures market reached a year-to-date high of $102 million, signaling growing interest from investors. Some traders attribute this outperformance to the legal challenges faced by Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, leading traders to seek decentralized alternatives like Uniswap.

Notably, UNI is now trading at $6.01 at the time of writing atop a 1.69 percent jump in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the market capitalization is $3,534,165,660, with a daily trading volume of $185.9 million. 

While traders have refrained from executing large trades during the ongoing narrow price movement, there is evidence of UNI accumulation on the spot market. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) were at 58.91 and 70.07, respectively, indicating a preference for the token’s accumulation. 

Furthermore, the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator confirmed a bullish trend in the UNI market, with the MACD line resting above the trend line.

Analyst Insights and Price Predictions for Uniswap

Rekt Capital, a popular crypto analyst, recently shared insights on UNI’s potential breakout. 

According to the analyst, UNI is on the verge of flipping a key resistance around $7, marking a trend reversal for the altcoin. The analyst emphasized the need for UNI to break the top of the macro market structure and reclaim it as support to enter a new uptrend.

In a recent development, the Uniswap DAO adopted aggressive measures in response to low participation rates in the DAO governance structure. A resolution was passed to distribute UNI tokens held by the Uniswap Foundation to underrepresented delegates while maintaining a participation rate of 80 percent. With over 18.5 million UNI token holders engaging and over 17 million expressing acceptance, the campaign received majority support.

With the proposal passed, its implementation is poised to further enhance the positive outlook of the pioneering DEX protocol.
