What are Uniswap and UNI?
Uniswap is a decentralized 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. In simple terms, UNI holders can take part in protocol governance, including voting on proposals about how the protocol operates.
How to trade UNI in the US
In the Crypto.com App, the basic flow is:
- Download the Crypto.com App and complete identity verification.
- Fund your account by depositing US dollars (USD) or transferring crypto.
- Go to the trading interface, search for Uniswap and choose a trading pair.
- Review the details, then confirm the trade if everything looks right.
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 instead of US dollars (USD), make sure you understand which asset you’re using for the trade. Crypto prices can move quickly, so the value of your holdings can go up or down.
Can you trade UNI 24/7?
Crypto markets operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That means UNI trading is not limited to traditional stock-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.
