$7 UNI, do you dare to chase it?
First, look at the surface: the protocol has started making money, and it's big money.
A one-time burn of 100 million UNI, followed by continuous buyback and burn, with a total of 111 million UNI already burned. The rollout of v4 plus Robinhood Chain has become a burn accelerator, with single-day burns hitting new stage highs. Fee Switch expanded from some pools to the entire chain, turning protocol revenue into buying power.
In August, volume surged from the low, weekly chart broke out of the long-term downtrend channel, standing above key moving averages, the major structure has turned bullish.
First thing: Fee Switch is on, UNI is no longer the old UNI.
After UNIfication passes by the end of 2025, the protocol will use fees from v2/v3 to buy and burn UNI; in July 2026, it will expand to v4 and more chains. The treasury has already burned over 100 million UNI in one go, followed by continuous buyback and burn.
UNI used to be just a "voting token," protocol profits had nothing to do with you.
Now, for every $1 fee the protocol collects, a portion is used to buy and burn UNI.
The bigger the volume, the faster the burn, the price rises, creating a positive flywheel.
Second thing: Robinhood Chain has become a burn accelerator.
On-chain DEX volume once exceeded Solana's single-day level, with Uniswap capturing a large share of the volume. v4 Hooks enable RWA/tokenized stocks, partnered with Morpho for Earn, and Launchpad entered Robinhood Chain. Tokenized stock pools on UNI v4 are already among the top.
Traditional finance is being brought on-chain through Uniswap.
Robinhood Chain subsidy window is still open, short-term volume won't drop.
Annualized burn scale is being revalued by the market.
UNI is transforming from "DEX leader" to "DeFi + RWA super aggregator layer."
Third thing: The rise is too fast, smart money is buying at $7, retail is chasing at $7.
Arthur Hayes has recently bought about $2 million worth of UNI OTC, averaging around $7. He's famous for "buying when no one cares, selling when everyone is shouting."
Is everyone shouting now?
Weekly up 48%, monthly up 70%, doubled from 3.2 to 7, RSI once overbought, long upper shadow with stagnant K-line at 7.0-7.5 — a typical "post-acceleration turnover zone."
Bull vs bear, judge for yourself.
On one side:
Fee Switch is on, 111 million UNI burned, supply continuously shrinking
Robinhood Chain accelerates burn, single-day burn hits new highs
Arthur Hayes + smart money buying at $7
Weekly chart breaks long-term downtrend, major structure turns bullish
On the other side:
Weekly up 48%, RSI once overbought, short-term overheated
Macroeconomic headwinds (rising rate expectations, CPI + FOMC approaching)
7.0-7.5 dense lock-up zone, breakout needs volume
Robinhood subsidy window expected to expire, volume may drop
Resistance above: 7.15-7.25 → 7.45-7.50 (recent highs) → 8.00 (psychological level)
Support below: 6.75-6.85 (pullback confirmation) → 6.45-6.50 → 6.20 (strong support)
Trading strategy
Short-term players:
7.0-7.1 is not a place to open longs, but to reduce positions. Buy again on a pullback to 6.75-6.85 with volume contraction and stabilization, stop loss at 6.58, target 7.2-7.3, second target 7.45-7.5.
Swing traders:
Wait to accumulate in batches at 6.2-6.5, $7 is "can hold, but shouldn't add too much."
CPI (Sept 11) + FOMC (Sept 16) approaching, rate hike probability 58-60%, reduce positions or lock profits before the decision. Watch burn data + Robinhood Chain daily volume — if volume and burn drop, narrative weakens immediately. If the positive fee rate is high, bulls holding overnight is not cost-effective.
UNI is now a "narrative coin supported by fundamentals" —
99% of people are still asking "why is UNI rising," but the protocol has already bought back and burned $100 million worth of tokens.
On the day it breaks 8.0, you'll realize:
It's not that UNI is weak, it's that you always ask if you can chase after it has doubled.
At $7.0, do you dare to get on board?
