$7 UNI—do you dare to chase it?
First, look at the surface: the protocol is starting to make money—and it’s big money.
It’s permanently burning 100 million UNI in one go, and then continuing with buyback-and-burn; so far, 111 million UNI have already been burned. With v4 rolling out + Robinhood Chain, it’s become a burn-acceleration engine. Daily burns hit a new phase high. Fee Switch has expanded from some pools to the entire chain, and protocol revenue is starting to turn into buy pressure.
In August, it ramped up with volume from the lows. The weekly chart has broken out of the long-term downtrend channel and is now above key moving averages—the overall structure has already shifted bullish.
First thing: Fee Switch is live—UNI is no longer the old UNI
After UNIfication at the end of 2025, the protocol took fees from v2/v3 to buy UNI and burn it. In July 2026, it expanded further to v4 and more chains. The treasury has burned over 100 million UNI at once, and then it continues with buyback-and-burn.
Before, UNI was basically a “voting token”—protocol profits had nothing to do with you.
Now, for every $1 of fees the protocol collects, a portion is used to buy UNI and burn it. The larger the trades, the faster the burn, the higher the price—an upward feedback loop.
Second thing: Robinhood Chain became a burn-accelerator
DEX volume on-chain once surpassed Solana’s daily level. Uniswap captured a huge share of the trades. v4 Hooks are doing RWA/tokenized stocks, and Morpho does Earn. The Launchpad is bringing things into Robinhood Chain. The tokenized stock pool on UNI v4 is already ranking near the top.
The old-school finance playbook is being taken on-chain via Uniswap. Robinhood Chain’s subsidy window is still there—so in the short term, volume probably won’t drop. The annualized burn rate is being repriced by the market.
UNI is shifting from a “DEX king” to a “super aggregation layer for DeFi + RWA.”
Third thing: It’s moving too fast—smart money is picking up at $7, retail is chasing higher at $7
Arthur Hayes has been sweeping about $2 million worth of UNI via OTC over the past couple of days, with the average price sitting right around $7. This guy is famous for “buying when nobody cares, selling when the crowd is roaring.”
Is the crowd roaring now?
Week up 48%, month up 70%—from 3.2 to 7, more than doubled. RSI was once overbought. In the $7.0–7.5 range, you see long upper-wick, lagging K-lines—this is the classic “turnover zone after acceleration.”
Resistance above:
7.15–7.25 → 7.45–7.50 (recent high) → 8.0
Support below:
6.75–6.85 (pullback confirmation) → 6.45–6.50 → 6.2
Trading strategy
For short-term traders:
7.0–7.1 isn’t the place to open longs—it’s where to trim. Wait for a pullback to 6.75–6.85, then buy back when volume contracts and the market stabilizes. Stop-loss at 6.58. Targets: 7.2–7.3; second target 7.45–7.5.
For swing traders:
Wait for 6.2–6.5 to buy in batches. With price at around $7, it’s in the “you can hold it, but don’t add too much” zone.
