Two months later, on May 5, Uniswap V3 finally launched and within its first
two weeks it's already become a resounding success. It took only three days
for Uniswap V3 to become the top decentralized exchange (DEX) on
Ethereum behind Uniswap V2, and in the past seven days it facilitated more
than $6.5 billion in volume.

Perhaps most notable about Uniswap V3’s stellar volume growth is its
efficiency in achieving it. Uniswap V3 is facilitating nearly as much volume as
Uniswap V2 with less than 15% of the total value locked in Uniswap V2. It is
the only AMM that turns over its total value locked more than 100% on a
daily basis - more than 5x Uniswap V2 which currently sits at number two.

The growth comes at a time when DEX volumes are once again surging. In
the first 16 days of May, DEX volumes on Ethereum have just about reached
their previous all-time high monthly volume record set last month. They’re
on pace to facilitate more than $123 billion in volume this quarter - almost
double what they did in April.
