Uniswap Fee-Switch Sparks DeFi Revenue Growth as AlphaPepe Presale Window Closes

The Uniswap fee-switch expansion has brought DeFi revenue back into focus, with the protocol generating cumulative revenue of over $23 million since activation.

This significant governance move in 2026 has changed the long-term case for UNI, but the market does not automatically reprice an asset based on governance decisions alone.

UNI needs sustained inflows, a risk-on environment, and a market that agrees the fee revenue is worth a premium above current levels.

In contrast, AlphaPepe's presale window is closing quickly, with Stage 18 live at $0.02013 and over $1.8 million raised.
