Uniswap (UNI) led a surge in DeFi altcoins, climbing 23% in 24 hours after the introduction of the UNIfication proposal. This initiative aims to consolidate governance and activate protocol fee sharing, driving investor interest. Aerodrome Finance (AERO) also saw a 13% increase, benefiting from improved token distribution and buyback activities. Meanwhile, SOON rose 4% following new exchange listings and feature launches. The market's focus has shifted towards protocols undergoing structural or governance changes, rather than a broad altcoin rally.
