Sharing a chart on X, Adams celebrated the milestone with the caption: “Uniswap is the first DEX to $3T volume. Bet it’s the first to 10. Grateful to everyone who swapped along the way as we decentralize the global finance system.” The chart, based on Dune Analytics data, shows consistent growth from 2019 to May 2025, with sharp rises especially after 2021.Source: XMarket Leadership Backed by Volume and AdoptionAccording to Dune Analytics, Uniswap handles $3.1 billion in daily trading volume. DeFiLlama reports a slightly lower 24-hour volume of $3 billion, but both affirm Uniswap’s 23% daily market share, the highest among all DEXs.In second place, PancakeSwap registers $2.7 billion in daily volume with a 21% market share, underscoring Uniswap’s leadership. However, its Total Value Locked (TVL) has dropped significantly to just under $5 billion, about half of its 2021 peak. This decline reflects a broader DeFi market contraction. As per DeFiLlama, the total DeFi TVL ranges between $124 billion and $132 billion, with Ethereum contributing over 50% of the total.Infrastructure Growth: EIP-7702 and Smart Wallet SupportAdams also announced Uniswap’s support for EIP-7702, Ethereum’s new wallet upgrade rolled out on May 7 through the Pectra update. The proposal improves resilience against quantum computing threats and allows regular accounts to act temporarily as smart contracts during transactions.“Rolling out our own 7702 wallet and supporting other 7702 wallets ... with the goal being one-click swapping for all users,” Adams added on X. While Trust Wallet users already access smart accounts, Uniswap plans to follow soon with its own integrated experience.Related: Uniswap Integrates Sony’s Soneium Layer 2 for Web3 CreatorsUNI Token Activity and Market MetricsAccording to CoinMarketCap, Uniswap’s UNI token trades at $7.14, up 0.29% in the last 24 hours.
