Uniswap raises $165M in series B funding, should you buy UNI now?

One of the most popular decentralized exchanges (DEX), known as Uniswap (UNI/USD) has successfully managed to raise $165 million in a Series B funding round.

The crypto-focused investment company known as Polychain Capital raised this funding initiative. 

Uniswap is an automated cryptocurrency exchange built on top of Ethereum (ETH/USD) that features its own native cryptocurrency, known as UNI.

On October 13, 2022, Uniswap published a press release where the decentralized exchange confirmed the completion of a Series B funding round, which raised $165 million. 

These secured funds have a valuation of $1.66 billion.

The funding initiative was led by Polychain Capital and saw the participation of other notable venture capital firms, such as Andreessen Horowitz (a16Z), Paradigm, SV Angel, and Variant investments.

The DEX aims to use the secured funds to boost the web application and developer tools, launch non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and even support mobile users.

Furthermore, Uniswap believes these innovations can push its ecosystem further.

All of this has boosted the interest in the platform, native cryptocurrency, and overall ecosystem, which has resulted in an increased value and trading volume.

On October 14, 2022, Uniswap (UNI) had a value of $6.286.
