According to Uniswap Foundation's report released on January 8, 2025, the year 2024 marked substantial progress in terms of liquidity and user engagement. The report indicates that Uniswap's total trading volume reached an impressive $1.2 trillion over the year, with daily active users peaking at 200,000 during the third quarter. This surge in trading activity was particularly pronounced in the ETH/USDC pair which saw a 30% increase in trading volume compared to the previous year. The source highlights that this growth was driven by increased adoption of decentralized finance protocols and significant market volatility throughout 2024.

The report further delves into the impact of these trading activities on liquidity provision. On-chain metrics from Q4 2024 indicate that liquidity pools on the Uniswap platform had an average of $8 billion in locked value, representing a 25% year-over-year growth. This increase in liquidity was supported by competitive yield strategies and enhanced market depth, which attracted both retail and institutional investors. The data shows that liquidity providers earned approximately $500 million in fees throughout the year, reflecting an attractive yield environment for participants.

In terms of technical indicators, Uniswap's report notes the significant role of price slippage and impermanent loss in trading decisions. The average slippage for major trading pairs was reduced to 0.2% by the end of 2024, thanks to improved liquidity and algorithmic optimizations. Additionally, the report mentions that the impermanent loss risk was mitigated by innovative pooling strategies that adjusted asset allocations dynamically. The source suggests that these technical improvements have made Uniswap a more competitive platform in the decentralized exchange landscape, contributing to its robust growth in trading volumes and user base.
