Uniswap has already invested in 11 crypto projects and several other native protocols in the web3 ecosystem, including Tenderly, LayerZero, Aave, Compound Protocol, PartyDao and MakerDao.
Uniswap Lab Ventures follows an emerging trend of crypto firms investing in Web3 entities other than themselves. In January, crypto exchange FTX established FTX Ventures with a $2B fund, with a special interest in gaming.
