BlockBeats News, June 16th. Standard Chartered Bank's research report covered Uniswap for the first time, predicting that its UNI token could increase 40-fold from the current price of about $2.70 to $100 by the end of 2030. Standard Chartered believes that the active value of tokenized assets in DeFi will significantly increase from the current approximately $340 billion to $27 trillion by 2030, a 37-fold increase. Uniswap, as a decentralized trading protocol, will benefit from this growth, with the scale of its liquidity pools expanding accordingly.

Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that DeFi protocols will represent the next wave of intergenerational wealth opportunities in digital assets and expects UNI to outperform Ethereum and Bitcoin during the same period. Kendrick likened Uniswap to YouTube (an open platform where users provide liquidity) and Coinbase to Netflix (centralized operation). Uniswap has lower capital requirements, making it advantageous in trading stablecoins, stETH, and similar assets, as well as listing niche tokens.
