Major Protocol Developments Fuel STRK and UNI Surges Amid Market Optimism
The crypto market is witnessing significant positive movements driven by key protocol advancements. Starknet's STRK token has surged 35%, attributed to its foundational ties with Zcash and a burgeoning 'Ztarknet' narrative focused on blending privacy with scalability. Concurrently, Uniswap's native token, UNI, has achieved a two-month high following a pivotal governance proposal. This 'UNIfication' plan aims to activate protocol fees and introduce a substantial UNI-burning mechanism, potentially leading to $500 million in annual token burns and significantly boosting investor confidence across the DeFi ecosystem.
