- Uniswap’s Q1 report highlights D.C. advocacy, interface upgrades; dominates Ethereum gas usage amid 11.3% volume drop.
- Tokenomics debate persists as 0.3% fees bypass UNI holders; governance changes could trigger price revaluation.
Uniswap (UNI) is currently trading at $6.04, showing a -3.06% decline over the past 24 hours and -1.53% over the past 7 days, underperforming both the broader crypto market and other DeFi peers.
The market capitalization sits at $3.62 billion, supported by a circulating supply of 600 million UNI and a 24-hour trading volume of $202.8 million, which is down 11.3%, indicating lower trader engagement amid recent sell pressure.
From a technical standpoint, UNI is trading within a short-term consolidation range between $5.92 and $6.24. Resistance lies near $6.40, and a successful breakout could push UNI toward $6.80–$7.20. Key support rests near $5.85, and a breakdown below this level may retest the $5.50 zone.
Fundamental and Ecosystem Highlights:
- Uniswap dominates Ethereum DeFi gas burning, highlighting its central role in network activity.
- The Uniswap Foundation recently published its Q1 2025 report, emphasizing developer grants, interface upgrades, and regulatory advocacy in Washington, D.C.
- UNI tokenomics remain under debate, as trading fees (0.3%) still accrue to liquidity providers rather than UNI holders — though governance could change this in the future, which analysts say could lead to price revaluation.
Despite current underperformance, community sentiment is strongly bullish with 92% optimism, and the protocol remains one of the largest and most trusted decentralized exchanges globally. UNI’s value proposition as a governance token could increase significantly if fee distribution mechanisms evolve.
If UNI breaks and holds above $6.20 with increasing volume, it is projected to reach $6.75–$7.10 within 6–9 days, driven by DeFi sector, network fundamentals, and governance developments.
