Decentralized exchange (DEX) dYdX exceeded the daily trading volume of Uniswap two times in January, according to a Binance Research report. The DEX peaked at $493 million on January 28, outdoing Uniswap’s $457 million.

The accumulated trading volume for dYdX surpassed $25 billion, with volumes spiking above $1 billion following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. The market closely watched the transition of dYdX from an Ethereum application to a standalone Cosmos appchain. The platform incentivizes active traders through a Launch Incentives Program, currently in its second phase with two more expected.

In addition to dYdX, Jupiter, a DEX aggregator built on Solana blockchain, also experienced a surge in trading volumes, surpassing Uniswap’s 24-hour volume on several occasions. This increase may be partly attributed to the launch of the JUP token.
