The post Here’s why Uniswap is betting on execution over higher LP incentives appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Competition among decentralized exchanges is increasingly forcing protocols to rethink the incentives that originally fueled DeFi’s rapid expansion. In fact, Uniswap [UNI] has become the latest to test that transition after proposing a reduction of up to 33% in V4 liquidity provider fee incentives. More importantly, Uniswap’s TVL stood at $3.02 billion while its monthly volume hovered near $36 billion at press time. This hinted at strong market leadership, despite intensifying competition from rival decentralized exchanges. Source: DeFILlama The proposal marks a clear departure from previous models. The V3 model used much higher percentages of each trade to incentivize early liquidity providers to quickly capitalize on its platform. Instead, the protocol believes that a lower cost of trading, tighter spreads, and better capital usage will result in a sufficient increase i

The post DeFi Holding up Unusually Well in Down Market: Bitwise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens have held up unusually well against Bitcoin over the past month, suggesting the market may be “quietly re-rating” the sector, says crypto index fund maker Bitwise. Bitcoin (BTC) fell about 22% in June, while Bitwise’s index tracking tokens from major DeFi protocols fell only 4% over the same period, Bitwise said in a report Thursday. “DeFi usually swings much harder than Bitcoin, so holding up this well is unusual, and almost no one is talking about it,” it said. DeFi tokens have a reputation for being highly volatile during crypto market swings, as they’re the first to be sold by risk-averse traders.
