UNI is the governance token of Uniswap, a popular decentralized trading protocol that allows users to swap, earn, and build on top of Ethereum. UNI holders can vote on key protocol changes and participate in the management of the Uniswap ecosystem. UNI is also one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap on Coinbase, with a circulating supply of 577,501,036 UNI and a current price of $5.27 per UNI.

In this dashboard, we will examine the flow of UNI tokens between centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX). CEX are platforms that facilitate trading of cryptocurrencies through intermediaries, while DEX are platforms that allow peer-to-peer trading without intermediaries. We will identify the volume of UNI tokens being transferred from CEX to DEX and vice versa, and determine which exchanges have the highest volume in terms of USD. We will also analyze whether more UNI tokens are flowing into or out of these exchanges, and what that might imply for the demand and supply of UNI in the market.

By using this dashboard, you will be able to gain insights into the trading behavior and preferences of UNI holders, as well as the liquidity and activity of UNI on different types of exchanges. This dashboard will help you understand the dynamics and trends of the Uniswap ecosystem and its governance token.

In summary, this dashboard has shown us the flow of UNI tokens between centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX) over time. We have seen that CEX have a higher volume, transaction count, and user count than DEX, indicating that more users prefer to trade UNI on CEX than on DEX. We have also seen that there are more outflows than inflows of UNI tokens, suggesting that users are moving UNI from DEX to CEX and possibly selling them for profit. Among the top 10 exchanges that traded UNI, Binance and Coinbase dominated the volume, while Coinbase and Uniswap competed for the transaction count. Uniswap, as the leading DEX for UNI trading, showed a steady increase in its share of volume and transactions over time.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• If you are a UNI holder who wants to trade UNI on an exchange, you might want to consider using CEX for higher liquidity and volume, or DEX more control over your funds.
• If you are a UNI holder who wants to participate in the governance of the Uniswap protocol, you might want to keep your UNI tokens on a DEX or a wallet that supports voting, rather than moving them to a CEX that might not allow you to vote.
• If you are a UNI holder who wants to earn passive income from providing liquidity to the Uniswap protocol, you might want to monitor the price movements and netflows of UNI tokens, and adjust your liquidity positions accordingly. You might also want to compare the returns and risks of providing liquidity on Uniswap versus other DEX or CEX.

This dashboard has provided us with valuable insights into the behavior and preferences of UNI holders, as well as the liquidity and activity of UNI on different types of exchanges. We have learned how UNI tokens are distributed and transferred across the Uniswap ecosystem and its governance token. We hope that this dashboard has helped you understand the dynamics and trends of the Uniswap protocol and its token. Thank you for using this dashboard.

It can be seen that a total of 1.1mil transactions has been conducted on CEXes that involves the UNI tiken and 672k transactions has been conducted on DEXes.

Over 42billion dollars worth of UNI token has been moved into the CEX and a total of 13.6 billion of the UNI token has been moved on DEXes, with average volumes of over 36k and 20k respectively.

Over 419k users are using the CEXes to move the UNI token around, while over 320k users are using the DEXes.

What can be noticed?

It is obvious and staring at our faces that users tends to send their funds to CEXes than DEXes since, from all metrics used above, CEXes took the top spots with notable margins. Although, DEXes are also doing well for themselves.

Next lets look at the flows(inflows, outflows and netflows from CEX to DEX)👇

From the the charts provided above, it can be seen that there are more outflows than inflows.

This is evident since the cumulative netflows for bothe transaction count and volume are both negative and the weekly netflows has a higher number of negative values.

What does this mean?

This indicates that users were transferring the UNI tokens more from DEXes(outflows) to CEXes. And at the same time, users are hessitant to send out the UNI token fron CEXes to DEXes.

One important cause might be that most users transferring to CEXes are selling the UNI token for profit.

Let's look at the top 10 exchanges(CEX and DEX combined)👇

Of the top 10 exchanges that the UNI token was traded on over time, only three(3) were found to be DEXes, the other seven(7) were CEXes.

In terms of Volume,

• Binance is the captain of the ship and following it closely is coinbase before Uniswap, which is a DEX and the two others are CEXes.
• Over time, Binance is seen to have the highest weekly share of volume, although there are weeks that Coinbase is a mojor contender. Uniswap on the other hand can be seen to be gaining momentum in recent weeks and has aggressively taking its portion from the overall weekly volume.

In terms of transactions,

• There is little twist in the plot here, Coinbase tops Binance interms of transactions and the gap between the top two(2) and Uniswap that still remains third in this ranking is not much.
• Weekly share-wise, Coinbase and Uniswap are aggressively eating into Binance share.

Users might prefer using Uniswap to other DEXes because UNI is there governance token and using it to transact would make participation in governance activities a lot easier.
