Coinbase Pro lists Uniswap’s UNI token, following Binance

The Coinbase Pro cryptocurrency exchange announced the listing of the UNI governance token from the leading decentralized exchange Uniswap a few hours after its launch. Binance announced the addition of a perpetual futures contract on UNI almost immediately after the coin’s release.

On the US exchange, the token will be traded in a USD pair. Trading on the platform is planned to launch today, September 17, once liquidity is sufficient.

The token’s price reacted to the exchange’s announcement by rising, echoing the ‘Coinbase effect’. UNI quotes rose by 61% — from $2.53 to $4.08 (CoinGecko). As of writing, the price has corrected and the coin trades at around $2.54.
