I might've waiting a year for the
$UNI bull case to actually line up like this.
@Uniswap won the DEX wars, then the coin flipped different when UNIfication torched ~107.5M
$UNI total.
Actual value capture now, plus more surfaces feeding it.
v4 fee switch went live across Eth, Arb, Base, BNB, Polygon, OP and RH.
โ $53.8B volume last 30d
โ $3.79T cumulative all time
โ protocol rev 3x'd to ~$325k/day post-expansion
โ that daily run implies ~$120M annualized fwd
Ok, capturing ~17% of LP fees on the pools where the switch is active sounds small at first. Esp if ur a
$HYPE holder watching Hyperliquid burn 99% of its rev.
But
$UNI is still at the beginning of monetizing what it already owns.
v4 makes the fwd fee base way more interesting than just spot swaps. Hooks turn the AMM from fixed infra into something devs can build directly on top of.
Dynamic fees, MEV protection, liquidity management, lending, launch auctions, permissioned pools, structured liquidityโฆ basically whatever someone can build around the lifecycle of a swap
โ v4 already did ~$355B cumulative by June
โ thousands of hook pools live
โ $260M+ in LP fees generated
@flaunchgg,
@ponsdotfamily, Angstrom... Uniswap is the substrate these apps are building their whole business on top of now.
@haydenzadams got even hungrier with
@TradePools. They want to enter token issuance too.
Traders even pushed >$150M through the contracts before the ui even shipped.
Now put that on RH trenches where Uniswap is the primary public AMM and Robinhood brings ~28M customers.
Uniswap is sitting at the issuance layer of a brokerage chain that wants crypto, stocks and tokenized assets living in the same environment.
Target market is supposedly $11T by 2030, feels unhinged but here we are.
โ memecoin vol might cool but never fully dies (see pumpfun)
โ Securitize, Superstate, Dowgo already using v4 hooks for issuer allowlists
โ BUIDL liquidity routing thru UniswapX
โ retail, institutions, everyone ends up swapping on uniswap infra eventually.
$UNI trading at $4, $2.5B mcap, rough math:
โ $800B-$1T vol, ~$120M protocol rev = $8-$12 case
โ $2T vol, ~$400M protocol rev = $20-$25 case
v4 hooks season just started and you may not be bullish enough yet. What if a meme paired with a stock hits billions on tradepools infra?
