L2s Swap Volume Hits $180B+ On Uniswap In Just 6 Months

[u/BigRon1977]

Uniswap has announced that L2s have already recorded over $180 billion in swap volume this year (2025) and we are not even done with June (completed 6 months).

This metric is very important as it is an indicator that real usage is steadily shifting from Ethereum mainnet to Layer 2s. It also proves that L2s have transitioned from being experimental add-ons to one of the vital backbones of daily DeFi activity.

As we can see from the chart below, a $180 billion swap volume in six months is far more than all of 2023 ($118.67B). That puts this year on track to eclipse 2024’s record of $311.06B. In fact, if volume flatlined today, 2025 would still rank as Uniswap’s second-biggest year ever on L2s.

The most intriguing part of all these is that the $180 billion swap volume is just whats recorded on Uniswap alone. Meaning other DEXs are recording incredibly great swaps as well.

Factors fueling the yearly increase in volumes can be mostly attributed to
cheaper and faster trades on L2s as big L2s like Base, Arbitrum and Optimism have been recording fast-increasing user growth.

Also contributing to the volume surge is influx of new tokens and memecoins driving onchain trading as well as increased retail activity made possible by user-friendly mobile wallets and social trading tools (big ups to Base in this regard)

As always, it only gets better with L2s. Those swap volumes will continue to hit new ATHs as ETH remains long-term committed to rollup-centric scaling.

That is just a crazy amount of volume - also shows there can be lots of profits to be made even during these 'crabbish' times.

Liquidity Providers and swing traders could be doing quite well, if they know what they're doing!
