The crypto market registered a notable uptick on Monday, getting off to a strong start to the new week. Price action remained subdued last weekend as Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies traded sideways.

In January 2025, the crypto industry made massive donations to Trump's investment fund. A month later, the SEC miraculously dropped its lawsuits against those same donors.

New filings from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) reveal that several cryptocurrency firms and their executives made significant contributions to US President Donald Trump's inauguration fund after the results of the 2024 election.

Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, believes that Solana is currently the best blockchain to scale decentralized finance (DeFi) at the layer 1 level. This stance reignites the debate on the limitations of Ethereum's modular model.

Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams has voiced strong support for Solanas approach to decentralized finance (DeFi), calling it superior to Ethereums rollup-centric direction. In a recent statement, Adams praised Solanas better road map, team, and approach for building DeFi directly on a monolithic Layer 1 blockchain.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams warns that Ethereum's heavy focus on Layer 1 scaling could let Solana overtake it in the DeFi race.

Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams has opined that Solana has a "better roadmap, team, and approach" for developing decentralized finance (DeFi) directly on the monolithic layer-1.

As Solana continues its ascent, experts are not writing off Ethereum's chances to compete favorably in decentralized finance (DeFi). Uniswap founder Hayden Adams wants Ethereum to hone in on Layer 2 scaling to even the odds with Solana.

Uniswap's token has dropped to a crucial support level even as Unichain, its layer-2 network, continued its strong momentum. Uniswap (UNI) price dropped to $5.

CRV is showing strong potential for a trend continuation after finding support at a major confluence zone.

Curve DAO is experiencing a decent uptrend after continuous months of red. Investors are keen to see when this token can reclaim the $1 level again.

With $2 in sight and whales accumulating, could this be the beginning of a much bigger breakout?

This week the declining crypto market capitalization and large swings in Bitcoin price have influenced the picks, Hyperliquid, Curve DAO and Fartcoin. The three tokens have rallied between 25% and 100% in the past seven days.

Uniswap faced resistance around the $5.5-level. Until it can climb beyond it, traders must maintain a bearish outlook.
