Uniswap Surpasses $3 Trillion in Trading Volume Amid DeFi Resurgence

Uniswap has become the first decentralized exchange to surpass $3 trillion in total lifetime trading volume.

Monthly trading volume remains above $150 billion in 2025, despite a drop in fee revenue in recent months.

The platform’s adoption of EIP-7702 enables enhanced transaction capabilities without requiring smart contract migration.

Uniswap has just hit a great record of $3 trillion in total trading volume in the decentralized exchange market. Founder Hayden Adams posted the announcement on a social network on May 12, sharing data from a dashboard on Dune Analytics. The infographic showed the long way the platform has grown since it was launched.

Although Uniswap’s trading volumes continue to show power, its total value locked (TVL) is presently approximately $4.8 billion. This is only about one-half of its peak during 2021, indicating the general contraction of the decentralized finance sector. Overall, DeFi TVL, according to DeFiLlam a is now close to $117 billion, up from $174 billion at its highest point.

Volumes and fee revenues monthly indicate fluctuating trends.

The volume of trading on the platform has exceeded $150 billion monthly in 2025. It collected in fees an estimate of $150 million during January. Nevertheless, fee earnings dipped to slightly over $60 million in April, which suggests adjustments in dynamics or patterns occurring on the market, while the activity of users remained resolved.

Uniswap has continued to evolve through multiple infrastructure improvements. Uniswap v4, launched in January, introduced new tools and lower gas fees. In February, the platform introduced Unichain, a layer 2 network built on the OP Stack, which has already processed over $4 billion in trades. Unichain enables faster and cheaper transactions compared to the Ethereum mainnet.

Integration with EIP-7702 Brings Smart Account Features

Following Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade on May 7, Uniswap added support for EIP-7702. This improvement allows externally owned accounts to function like smart contracts during transactions. It enables features like transaction batching, smart recovery, and gas sponsorship without requiring full migration to smart contract accounts.

Uniswap’s token, UNI, is up 1.4 percent at press time and has seen over 40% growth over the past week. However, it remains more than 80 percent below its all-time high of $44.92, set in May 2021.
