What are Uniswap and UNI?
Uniswap is a decentralised exchange protocol built on Ethereum. It uses automated market making, which means trades interact with liquidity pools rather than a traditional order book.
UNI is the governance token of the Uniswap Protocol. Put simply, UNI holders can take part in protocol governance, including voting on proposals about how the protocol operates.
How to trade UNI in Australia
Here's the basic flow in the Crypto.com App:
- Download the Crypto.com App and complete identity verification.
- Fund your account by depositing AUD via PayID or transferring crypto.
- Head to the trading interface, search for Uniswap and pick a trading pair.
- Review the details, then confirm the trade if everything looks right.
PayID deposits are free on Crypto.com. You can also top up your account using a debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), Apple Pay or Google Pay.
What should you check before confirming a UNI trade?
Before you confirm, check the trading pair, amount, current fee schedule and spread in the App. Other transaction fees and spread may apply, so the final details matter.
If you fund with crypto rather than AUD, make sure you know which asset you're using for the trade. Crypto prices can move quickly, so the value of your holdings can rise or fall.
Can you trade UNI 24/7?
Crypto markets run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That means UNI trading isn't limited to traditional market hours.
In practice, you'll still need a verified account, a funding method and a Uniswap trading pair in the App before you can place a trade. Always review the latest details before confirming.
