Uniswap Jumps Double Digits as Standard Chartered Eyes $100 UNI by 2030
UNI surged sharply, reaching $3.70 and rising about 19.8% on the day and 48.4% over the week, with trading volume and market cap also jumping. The rally followed a bullish Standard Chartered note projecting UNI at $6.50 by year-end and $100 by 2030, framing Uniswap as market infrastructure for tokenized assets rather than a retail DEX. The bank expects DeFi assets to reach $2.7 trillion by 2030, which could greatly expand Uniswap’s liquidity and trading base. Supportive catalysts include Uniswap’s tokenized securities launch, growing real-world-asset activity, and a fee-switch upgrade that is burning about 1% of supply annually. Additional fundamental backing came from reports of record trading volume, regained DEX market share, and strong fee generation. Despite the rally, UNI remains far below its 2021 all-time high, and risks include competition and future compliance standardization.
