According to Dune Analytics, Uniswap currently handles about $3.3 billion in daily trading volume, capturing a 23% share of the decentralized exchange market.
While its total value locked (TVL) stands at $4.97 billion, still significantly below its 2021 high, it reflects renewed confidence in DeFi as a sector.
Meanwhile, Uniswap has announced support for Ethereum’s new EIP-7702 standard, a move designed to streamline the user experience. Founder Hayden Adams confirmed the protocol is rolling out its own EIP-7702-enabled wallet and aiming for “one-click swaps” across the platform.

This upgrade, part of Ethereum’s recent Pectra release, allows smart contract wallets to act like traditional EOAs (externally owned accounts), potentially boosting mainstream usability.
UNI Price Eyes $10 as Momentum Builds
UNI has broken out of a prolonged downtrend, approaching a strong resistance at $7.4. Popular crypto trader “Crypto Dream” pointed out on X that Uniswap’s recent 50% gain could be an early signal of altseason.

He suggested that traders may not get another chance to buy at lower levels. On the daily UNI price chart, the RSI currently sits at 67, suggesting bullish momentum. A sustained move above this level could lead the token to $10, a psychological resistance and previous support from late 2023.

Meanwhile, Bollinger Bands have widened significantly following the breakout, indicating strong price expansion. The price is holding above the midline of the bands (20-day SMA), typically a bullish sign.
The MACD has flipped into positive territory, with the MACD line clearly crossing above the signal line. However, a brief consolidation near $7 suggests the market may pause before another leg higher.
