The post Uniswap Governance Passes Major ‘UNIfication’ Proposal; 100 Million Token Burn Imminent appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The UNIfication proposal passed with overwhelming support on December 25, 2025, setting the stage for a massive token burn and new fee structure. Overwhelming Approval from Token Holders The vote wasn’t even close. Over 125 million UNI tokens supported the proposal, while only 742 voted against it.

Protocol Fee Switch Goes Live Beyond the one-time burn, UNIfication activates Uniswap’s long-discussed protocol fee switch. This represents a fundamental shift in how the exchange operates. Previously, all trading fees went directly to liquidity providers who supply tokens to the platform. Under the new model, a portion of these fees will be redirected to the protocol itself. These fees will then be used to burn UNI tokens on an ongoing basis. The fee switch will initially activate on Uniswap v2 and select v3…
