Uniswap’s NFT Support

Uniswap Labs made the announcement that they will be acquiring Genie on the 21st of June. This will allow them to develop a marketplace for NFTs. Additionally, Uniswap disclosed that one of its primary objectives is to facilitate universal ownership. The recent agreement reached with Genie is a significant advance in the right direction.

Uniswap will be able to expand its services beyond ERC-20 tokens as a result of the acquisition. On the Uniswap web app, users will soon have the ability to trade non-fungible tokens. Additionally, Uniswap laboratories are planning to incorporate NFTs into their Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) as well as their Widgets.

It is interesting to note that this will not be the first time Uniswap has dabbled in the waters of the NFT. Unisocks was the name of the experimental network token that the decentralized platform introduced three years ago. The NFT offered digital socks, and those who collected them were eligible to get a real pair of socks.

According to Uniswap, non-fungible tokens will become an essential component of the expanding digital economy.

Will the Move by Uniswap Have an Effect on the NFT Ecosystem?

The bear market will see an increase in the protocol’s profile as a result of Uniswap’s acquisition of Genie. The unceasing innovation that comes from Uniswap labs will help to bolster the faith of investors in the successful completion of the project over the project’s whole lifespan. The value of one UNI token is currently $5.2, representing a rise of 4% in the past 24 hours since it was last measured.

The venture into the NFT domain that the protocol is taking will also promote additional innovation in the DeFi and GameFi spaces.

The action will also reverse the trend of declining trading volumes on the NFT. This year, January was the month that saw the most NFT interest. Despite this, the number of people collecting and investing in NFTs has been steadily decreasing over the past several months.

There has been a significant decrease in the amount of money transfer fees charged by well-known NFT platforms. Since January, OpenSea has seen a drop in revenue from NFT fees that is equivalent to a 97 percent fall.

We should anticipate an increase in the trading volumes of digital assets as a result of Uniswap’s exposure to the realm of non-fungible tokens.

Users of Uniswap who completed more than one trade on the platform before April 15 will be eligible to receive a free USDC airdrop from the company. Fans of the NFT who made a purchase of the Genie Genesis NFT prior to the date specified above will also be eligible for the airdrop.
