UNI increased by 6.2% on the day and traded around $21.71. Other Defi tokens rallied as well with ThorCHAIN increasing by 13.5%, AVAX by 9.9%, CRV 6.8%, and binance Smart Chain CAKE token increased by 6.2%. In the meantime, data provided by DeFi Pulse shows that there is $54 billion in value locked on various Defi platforms. The top five spots were taken by Aave that has $11.23 billion locked, Curve Finance with $8.51 billion, Compound $7.08 billion, and Maker $7.19 billion.

At the same time, most of the non-Defi cryptocurrencies remained locked in their narrow price corridors, and Bitcoin for example decreased by 1.4%, Ethereum by 1.5%, and ADA by 0.8%, remaining in the red.

As reported recently, Polygon announced integration with the yield optimization vaults on the Maker Network and the blockchain protocol referred to as the Matic Chain, tweeted that it will open a vault on Maker, and invested $50 million of tokens as agreed liquidity from the treasury. With the recent integration, it means that the protocol broadened its scope, vision, and transformation to become an ETH scaling aggregator and among others, this could see the protocol providing developers with L2 solutions. Also, this will be in addition to the PoS plasma Chain.
