About Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for cryptocurrencies that was launched in November 2018 by Hayden Adams on Ethereum mainnet. A DEX lets you trade tokens directly via open-source smart contracts, eliminating the need for a centralized exchange (CEX) or intermediary, like a bank. In the case of Uniswap, you can trade (aka swap) tokens that are ERC-20, and therefore compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). 

Uniswap uses an Automated Market Maker (AMM) in lieu of traditional finance (TradFi) order books. Users add tokens to liquidity pools on the platform. In return for being a liquidity provider, you can earn a share of trading fees. When you want to trade tokens, Uniswap smart contracts calculate the exchange rate based on relative amounts tokens in the liquidity pool.

The native cryptocurrency of Uniswap is UNI, a utility token that is largely used for governance purposes. Holders of UNI can vote on decisions about the development and management of Uniswap. You can’t pay transaction fees with UNI. When trading, transaction fees are paid in the tokens being swapped.

UNI token holders are typically active DeFi investors and crypto protocol participants.

UNI market moves

Powered by MetaMask Market Insights


24h change: +0.25%. From $3.67 to $3.68.

  • Uniswap v4 has collected $1.9 million in fees within a 24-hour window, marking a 76 percent increase. The protocol also introduced new trading tools recently. These metrics point to higher activity and engagement with the decentralized exchange's latest features and hooks. Such on-chain performance reflects the ongoing evolution and usage of Uniswap in decentralized finance.
  • Standard Chartered issued analysis suggesting UNI has potential to reach $100 by 2030. The forecast is tied to Wall Street and institutional migration to on-chain assets and DeFi growth. This contributed to a roughly 24 percent UNI price surge in mid-June 2026 along with elevated trading volumes. It signals increasing traditional finance interest in Uniswap and its token.
  • Uniswap now supports swaps, liquidity provision, stock tokens, AI agents, and exploration on Robinhood Chain. Projects are deploying Uniswap V4 pools and adding liquidity there, with some directing fees to strengthen pools. This aligns with over $1 billion in weekly volume reported on the chain. It extends Uniswap's reach to new users and ecosystems through its multi-chain approach.

24h change: +3.13%. From $3.57 to $3.68.

  • Robinhood selected Uniswap as the primary automated market maker for its new layer 2 blockchain. This has resulted in rapid growth with cumulative volumes approaching or exceeding 1 billion dollars in the first week, daily active traders increasing tenfold to 220,000, and daily fees reported as high as 5.2 million dollars. The development brings more retail users into decentralized exchange activity through familiar interfaces. It demonstrates how established platforms are bridging traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure.
  • Community proposals and voting continue on activating long-discussed protocol fees that would support buying and burning UNI tokens. High activity on Robinhood Chain has already produced millions in daily fees according to recent reports. This could shift UNI toward having cash flow mechanics tied to usage rather than solely governance. Developments are being tracked by analysts for their potential long-term effects on token economics.
  • Uniswap recently deployed continuous clearing auctions and related tools on Robinhood Chain. These allow onchain token sales and liquidity bootstrapping directly into Uniswap V4 pools via the web app. The chain saw billions in DEX volume in its first week largely from memecoin trading. This adds to the protocol's multi-chain presence and developer capabilities.

24h change: -2.56%. From $3.66 to $3.57.

  • Uniswap deployed its full suite of protocols including v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX on Robinhood Chain in early July 2026. The integration rapidly scaled to more than one billion dollars in cumulative volume within nine days and attracted over two hundred twenty thousand daily active traders. This has positioned Robinhood Chain as a top driver of DEX volume and made it the largest source of fees for the Uniswap protocol, generating millions daily.
  • Uniswap founder Hayden Adams announced that protocol fees are now live. This has initiated buybacks and burns of the UNI token on an ongoing basis for the first time. The development coincides with massive fee generation from Robinhood Chain activity and marks a key step in protocol revenue capture for token holders.
  • Active governance proposals include extending the fee switch to v4 pools and Robinhood Chain deployments. Additional votes address bridge fee cleanup across networks such as XLayer, Avalanche, MegaETH, and Soneium. These changes could route significantly more protocol revenue toward UNI holders through burns if approved.

24h change: -1.11%. From $3.70 to $3.66.

  • Uniswap launched on the Robinhood Chain on July 1 2026 with support for versions 2 through 4 and UniswapX available from day one in the web app, wallet, and API. The deployment has quickly accumulated more than 1 billion dollars in volume, becoming the second-largest on the network after Ethereum mainnet. This integration brings decentralized trading infrastructure to a major retail platform and reflects broader efforts to connect traditional finance with DeFi. Increased visibility from the Robinhood deployment has contributed to renewed discussions around UNI utility and protocol growth.
  • Spark has moved 150 million dollars of stablecoin liquidity to Uniswap v4 in one of the largest such migrations in DeFi. A new DualPool hook developed in collaboration with Uniswap Labs will soon direct this liquidity. The update strengthens stablecoin infrastructure on the latest protocol version. It demonstrates continued developer and institutional commitment to building on Uniswap amid broader ecosystem expansions.
  • Tokenized versions of traditional assets including stocks from Apple, Tesla, SpaceX, and NVIDIA are now live for trading on Uniswap. The platform has partnered with entities like Securitize to enable onchain trading of funds such as BlackRock's BUIDL. This brings real-world assets into decentralized finance and expands the utility of the Uniswap protocol. It aligns with longer-term forecasts for significant growth in tokenized asset volumes within DeFi.

24h change: +3.31%. From $3.58 to $3.70.

  • Uniswap launched on Robinhood Chain in early July 2026 and quickly accumulated more than $1 billion in trading volume within nine days. Daily peaks reached near $500 million, with over 220,000 daily active users reported. Uniswap serves as the primary public AMM on the Layer 2, supporting v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX along with tokenized assets. The integration has driven community discussion around its impact on UNI and broader DeFi activity.
  • Uniswap Labs proposed activating protocol fees on select v4 pools across 11 networks. The Snapshot temperature check has received over 93 percent approval. If it passes, an on-chain vote would follow the week of July 13. The change extends the UNIfication burn mechanism, routing fees to buy and burn UNI and further linking protocol revenue to token economics.
  • Spark previously migrated $150 million in stablecoin liquidity to Uniswap v4 with a DualPool hook in development with Uniswap Labs. Founder Hayden Adams responded to community questions about custom accounting hooks and routing on July 11. These interactions highlight active development and community support for v4 features. Tokenized assets including major stocks remain live and tradable across Uniswap interfaces.
