The cryptocurrency used on UniSwap - the UNI token - reached a market cap that was twice that of THORChain's RUNE coin.

This is in line with figures from a different source that try to compare the DeFi TVL across multiple segments and blockchains: The market size of both decentralized exchanges and lending platforms were much higher than, for example, decentralized insurance in 2022.
