Uniswap (UNI) Jumps 13% As Standard Chartered Predicts 35x Upside

Key Insights:

• Standard Chartered believes that Uniswap’s neutral and open infrastructure makes it ideal for institutional DeFi adoption.
• It expects the DeFi sector TVL to grow 37-fold to $2.7 trillion by 2030.
• UNI price has staged a sharp recovery, gaining 13% in 24 hours, after bouncing from recent lows.

Uniswap (UNI) price surged 13% over the past 24 hours after Standard Chartered issued one of the most bullish forecasts yet for the decentralized exchange token. The bank projects UNI could reach $100 by 2030, driven by the expansion of tokenized assets and rising institutional participation in decentralized finance. The forecast comes as UNI rebounds from recent lows alongside broader strength across the crypto market.

Standard Chartered Sees Uniswap Price at $100

Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick recently made a bold prediction while sharing his Uniswap price target of $100 by 2030. Kendrick added that the decentralized exchange (DEX) is well-positioned to benefit from the growing wave of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Furthermore, it can also benefit from several traditional financial products moving on-chain.

The bullish outlook is based on Uniswap’s structural neutrality. It allows financial institutions and developers to build on the protocol without concerns that its underlying rules will change as adoption scales.

The analyst argued that this neutrality gives Wall Street firms greater confidence in using the platform for tokenized assets. It will also strengthen the role of Uniswap DEX as key infrastructure in decentralized finance. Kendrick said:

“For TradFi institutions, Uniswap should be viewed less as a retail DEX app and more as market infrastructure that TradFi can integrate with once tokenized assets scale and TradFi operators want to plug them into DeFi”.

Uniswap Can Lead The DeFi Tokenization Market

The reason why Standard Chartered is bullish on Uniswap is that it’s overall bullish on the growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) market. The bank giant sees DeFi assets growing 37-fold to approximately $2.7 trillion by the end of 2030.

According to Kendrick, only around 3% of stablecoins and 10% of tokenized RWAs are currently deployed within DeFi applications. He projects that the share of tokenized assets used in DeFi could rise to 30% by the end of the decade, up from roughly 3.5% today.

This projection is based on the fact that tokenization and RWAs would bring substantially more capital into the DeFi ecosystems over the coming years. As per the forecast, the share of tokenized assets used in DeFi would need to increase nearly ninefold by 2030. However, Kendrick noted that reaching the $2.7 trillion target would require rapid growth in on-chain assets.

UNI Price Rebounds From Multi-Month Lows

UNI recently recovered after falling from $3.42 in mid-May to a low near $2.37 in June. The token now trades around $3.02, lifting its market capitalization to approximately $1.88 billion.

Trading activity has accelerated alongside the rebound. Daily volume jumped more than 260% to exceed $360 million, indicating renewed trader interest.

Technical analysts are monitoring a major resistance area where a long-term descending trendline intersects with horizontal resistance.

Analyst World of Charts noted that a breakout above this technical confluence zone could trigger a larger recovery phase. The analyst suggested that a successful breakout may open the door to a potential 2x move over the coming months.

Several traders are also watching the $3.15 area as a key level. A sustained move above that region would strengthen the bullish structure and could attract additional momentum buyers.

For now, UNI remains focused on reclaiming resistance levels while investors assess whether institutional adoption and tokenized asset growth can support Standard Chartered’s long-term outlook.
