Uniswap Whale Transactions Hit 4-Year Peak as UNI Price Soars 65% In a Week
TLDR
The “UNIfication” proposal to burn 100 million tokens triggers institutional and retail interest.
Whale transactions hit 4-year highs, with 422 large movements in just two hours.
Analysts project a supply shock and price targets up to $72 if the $10 resistance is broken.
The Ethereum ecosystem is buzzing thanks to developments in its leading decentralized exchange. Recent data reveals that the UNI price surge has been dizzying, climbing approximately 70% in just 7 days.
This bullish momentum responds directly to the new “UNIfication” team proposal, which suggests burning 100 million UNI tokens as part of a strategic initiative to redirect protocol revenues.
The market reacted immediately and forcefully to this. According to information revealed by the firm Santiment, Uniswap has recorded a four-year high in daily whale transactions. Institutional activity is heating up: in a span of just two hours, 422 high-volume transactions occurred.
In parallel, retail interest is accompanying this UNI price surge, with the creation of 1,598 new wallets—the network’s fastest growth since November 2022.
Parabolic Projection and Expert Reaction
Founder Hayden Adams explained that the proposal seeks not only to improve rewards for liquidity providers but also to align incentives across the entire ecosystem. This vision has caught the attention of industry heavyweights. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, noted that the UNI price surge could go “parabolic” if the fee switch is activated. Ju estimates that, with a cumulative annual volume of $1 trillion, about $500 million could be burned annually.
Given that exchanges hold around $830 million in UNI, Ju suggests that a supply shock is almost inevitable, even considering future token unlocks. Adding to this bullish sentiment, data from Lookonchain revealed that Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has returned to the ecosystem after three years, acquiring 28,670 UNI tokens valued at $244,000, clearly betting on the continuation of the UNI price surge.
From a technical perspective, analyst Crypto Patel highlights that the token has been consolidating in a long-term descending triangle. With solid buying support between $6 and $7, a breakout above the $9–$10 range could mark the start of a macro trend reversal.
Upside targets are set at $16.5, $40, and even $72, confirming that Uniswap has moved on from being an experiment to consolidating itself as a decentralized finance giant with a promising future.
