Uniswap Announces V4 Launch, Pumping $UNI Price as $GFOX Prepares for DEX Debut

According to the Uniswap exchange’s community, Uniswap is poised to take full advantage of the Dencun upgrade on Ethereum. While details of how the platform intends to improve its service are still limited to the community’s February 15 post on X, $UNI has gone up by almost 10%.
