A quick look at Uniswap’s NFT space
A few days ago, Uniswap announced the launch of a new NFT aggregator in its latest attempt to secure a share of the NFT market. NFT listings from different marketplaces, such as OpenSea, are aggregated so that they can be viewed from a single interface.
Since then, UNI’s NFT space has grown, as shown by Santiment’s chart. While UNI’s total NFT trading volume has declined slightly, overall USD NFT trading volume has increased over the past week.
