The coverage from the Wall Street Journey shows how far decentralized exchanges have come over the past few years. Decentralized finance (DeFi) projects are becoming popular as they provide alternative and sometimes better services than the centralized platforms.
Decentralized exchanges yet to catch up to the centralized exchanges.
Uniswap is one of the leading DEXes globally, with over $36 billion in volume as of April. In the same breath, Coinbase, one of the top centralized exchanges in the world, had a transaction volume of $110 billion last month.
Although Uniswap is one of the most popular decentralized exchanges, there are others. Uniswap is based on the Ethereum blockchain. There are others DEXes such as the Pancakeswap, 1inch Network and Sushiswap that are becoming popular within the cryptocurrency space.
