Standard Chartered Predicts 40x UNI Price Surge by 2030 on Wall Street Tokenization
Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick predicts Uniswap's UNI token could surge nearly 40x to $100 by 2030, driven by Wall Street's migration of real-world assets on-chain. Uniswap's automated market maker and fixed rules position it as neutral market infrastructure, akin to YouTube for crypto, while Coinbase resembles Netflix. The platform's late-2025 "fee switch" activation burns roughly 1% of UNI supply annually, reducing total supply from 1 trillion to ~895 million. With $3.7 trillion in historical volume and $5.6 billion in fees, Uniswap is poised to benefit as Standard Chartered forecasts $2.7 trillion in DeFi assets by 2030. BlackRock's BUIDL fund now uses UniswapX, signaling institutional adoption. Risks include competition from niche DEXs and tokenization compliance rules.
