If one considers the month-on-month growth of the crypto exchange Uniswap, it has recorded a humongous increase of 128 percent. The launch of its new governance token has skyrocketed its growth in the last few months. 

Governance Token UNI, Gave UniSwap a Substantial Boost

Uniswap introduced its governance token called UNI, which had reportedly one billion tokens minted over four years.

Experts believe that Uniswap’s staggering trade volumes are a result of two distinguishing factors. First, the increased popularity and adoption of the DeFi platforms and the governance tokens that bring all the action within these exchanges. Another reason is its UNI token, which gathered a lot of positive interest from the crypto traders. ETH, COMP, and Other DeFi tokens introduced since June have created a stir in the markets, and the users are fast adopting these. Uniswap has grown substantially as a Go-To Platform for the various DeFi token trading.
