Lookonchain.com reports that Uniswap processed approximately 140 million trades in August, surpassing the combined total of Cboe BZX and NYSE American. ARK analyst Lorenzo Valente highlighted this milestone, noting that Uniswap launched in 2018 while NYSE American has operated since 1908. Five years ago, Uniswap’s monthly trade count stood at roughly 2 million, marking a substantial increase from that baseline.
Valente identified NYSE Arca as Uniswap’s next target, which recorded approximately 232 million trades in August. The report also covered several other market movements, including Solana-based e/acc surging past $17 million in market capitalization within four hours of launch. Meme coin CATE crossed $107 million in market cap, rising over 14.7% in 24 hours.
Sui ecosystem protocol AlphaFi entered maintenance mode to shut down, while renamed Trump AI coin Super Inu saw a 43% gain. Robinhood Chain’s BUN reached an all-time high above $80 million, and Elon Musk’s tweet about Moltbook triggered a 30% surge for MOLT. Additionally, a trader profited $448K from Binance listings, and a smart AI trader made $17.6M across several tokens.
