Uniswap Labs Acquires $165 Million
Last month, the decentralized exchange made a suggestion that it would raise some money. At the time, Uniswap Labs claimed it was in high-level discussions with venture capital company Polychain and that it was looking to fund between $100,000 and $200,000 million.
Other prominent venture capital companies, such as the cryptocurrency division of venture capital company Andreessen Horowitz (a16Z), Paradigm, SV Angel, and Variant investments, among others, participated in the financing campaign spearheaded by Polychain.
Aiming To Expand Its Ecosystem, Uniswap Labs
The decentralized exchange plans to increase the online app and developer tools, provide NFTs, and provide support for mobile users with the secured money. These advances, in the opinion of Uniswap, will elevate its ecosystem to new heights.
A few days after Citigroup published fresh data revealing that decentralized exchanges had expanded more quickly than centralized exchanges over the previous two years, Uniswap’s cryptocurrency development surfaced.
According to the Citigroup study, the difference will widen as more users switch from centralized exchanges to decentralized ones due to the latter’s onerous know-your-customer (KYC) regulations.
The Uniswap protocol creator and CEO, Hayden Adams, expressed the same expectations in the same context. Adams said that although Uniswap Labs concentrates on its products, a much larger ecosystem “continues to grow and thrive beyond what any company can do on its own.”
