For instance, Uniswap witnessed an all-time high in terms of volume and outperformed Nasdaq by 5%.

Other DeFi protocols such as Aave and Curve also observed a spike in activity during this period. Due to the high activity registered on these protocols, the fees generated by them increased.

Interestingly, the spike in fees generated impacted the revenue collected by these protocols. According to Messari’s data, revenue generated by Uniswap increased by 0.74%, whereas the Curve protocol witnessed an uptick of 0.12%.

However, Aave observed the most growth in this regard as it saw a spike of 48.76% in terms of revenue collected over the last week.

The high spike in revenue for Aave was made possible because there was a surge of 89.93% in the number of unique users on the Aave protocol.

The high activity on all these protocols, however, did not translate to a surge in the total value locked (TVL) on them.

According to DeFi Llama’s data, Uniswap’s TVL fell by 17.29% in the past few days. The Curve protocol’s TVL witnessed a similar decline and fell by 20% in the same period.
