The tug of war between the decentralized exchanges was long over when Uniswap [UNI] took over the market and became the biggest DEX.
However, in the field of stable USD, Curve [CRV] had an upper hand. But over the last few weeks, the second biggest DEX lost that upper hand by giving it to Uniswap.

When Uniswap was conducting transactions worth $529 million, Curve was registering twice as much volume sitting at $1.2 billion, particular to USD stable.

In doing so the total volume generated by both also switched places as Curve noted $572 million worth of trade, while Uniswap observed $1.58 billion of the same.
