The post Uniswap Layer 2 users increase 350% as Poodlana meme coin nears listing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Uniswap Layer 2 users have surged by 350%, but trading volume has dropped 39% since May. Poodlana’s presale has raised $6.3M, with the listing set for August 16 on Raydium. Poodlana’s token POODL is currently valued at $0.0499 with the price rising every 72 hours before listing.
