Uniswap price today, UNI to USD live price, marketcap and chart

Uniswap are preparing to take the next step in their journey to become a one-stop shop. The recent acquisition of NFT aggregator and marketplace Genie — through Uniswap Labs — aims to help the exchange’s users unlock universal ownership. Integrating non-fungible tokens into the Uniswap product line could be seen as an intriguing development. Users will see this feature roll out in the web application, with developer APIs and widgets to follow later.

Genie is an NFT marketplace aggregator helping users discover, buy and sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) across multiple marketplaces. Additionally, users can buy NFTs across multiple marketplaces through one transaction, significantly reducing their gas fees.

There are plans of Uniswap to offer a USDC airdrop to early adopters of the Genie platform, slated to take place in August 2022. Any user who used Genie at least once — or owned a Genie Genesis NFT by April 15 — should be eligible for this upcoming airdrop. This airdrop will last for 12 months, giving eligible users ample time to claim their rewards.

Furthermore, the Genie platform will remain accessible to users until the Uniswap NFT experience rolls out. Uniswap’s team acknowledges that NFTs remain an “important web3 gateway” for crypto enthusiasts and mainstream users. Applying their DeFi knowledge to NFTs can potentially help bring digital ownership and value to a bigger audience.

It is not Uniswap’s first venture into the NFT space, either. In 2019, the team launched the limited-edition Unisocks collection, providing NFT liquidity pools backed by real-world assets. Additionally, Uniswap Labs continues to work on Uniswap v3 NFT positions to further advance on-chain generative SVGs.
