Uniswap Charges Accessibility with Rootstock Integration

• Decentralized exchange Uniswap has completed its expansion on the Bitcoin blockchain via Rootstock.
• The integration will elevate Bitcoin’s DeFi landscape.
• Uniswap recently expanded its services to other blockchain networks.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has ushered in a new era for the global financial system, facilitating simplified access to trading and lending services for investors. Uniswap , the Ethereum blockchain-based decentralized exchange , has pioneered this space, offering exchange and wallet services, among others.

As more protocols initially exclusive to the Ethereum network expand to the Bitcoin blockchain, Uniswap is not lagging, now integrating Bitcoin to broaden its services.
