DeFi platform Uniswap<\/a> has exploded in popularity since its debut last year, which has been to the benefit of UNI token holders \u2013 especially those who got them completely free for being among the earliest users of the platform.<\/p>\n Here’s a look at just how fast the platform and its token have come up in the crypto market, and how much money investors would have made had they held strong from the moment the free DeFi tokens were issued.<\/p>\n The unicorn logo of Uniswap<\/a> is appropriate. In the business world, a unicorn is a startup with explosive growth that quickly propels it to more than $1 billion in value.<\/p>\n In less than a year, the total UNI market cap alone is more than $17 billion, and the incredibly popular DeFi swapping platform does more than a $1 billion each day in trading volume<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related Reading | The Age of Uniswap: DEX Volume Grows 1100x Year-Over-Year<\/a> The outstanding growth is worthy of the crypto version of unicorn status. And when it first launched, anyone who used the platform early enough was handed what at the time seemed like the crypto version of the stimulus check<\/a>.<\/p>\n Early Uniswap users were each award 400 UNI tokens, then worth around $3 per token. Today, that same “stimulus check” would feel a lot more like a lottery ticket instead.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At one point, UNI dipped to a value of around $800 for anyone holding the 400 free tokens, but those whom have held since then and not budged, have more than ten times that initial value<\/a> to show for their efforts.<\/p>\n From an average of roughly $1,200 for the 400 tokens, the same free UNI are now valued at over $12,000. The price increase has taken place across less than six months, or around 160 days, showing that even a little patience can pay.<\/p>\nThe Unicorn of Crypto Grows To $17 Billion Market Cap, $1B+ Daily Trading Volume<\/h2>\n
