Uniswap (Uniswap, UNI) surged 10% in a single day, outperforming major cryptocurrencies.

According to crypto-specialized media CoinGape on September 1 (local time), Uniswap rose to $5.68 during intraday trading, pushing its weekly gain to approximately 35%. Its market capitalization approached $3.57 billion. Its 24-hour trading volume also exceeded $599 million. During the same period, Bitcoin (Bitcoin, BTC) fell by 0.6%, and Ethereum (Ethereum, ETH) rose by 0.44%. XRP decreased by approximately 0.7%.

The surge was sparked by the Robinhood Chain. Daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume reached $1.49 billion, with Uniswap accounting for 76%. Uniswap v4 trading volume was $432 million, and v3 was $357 million. The number of daily transactions also hit an all-time high of 5.52 million. Uniswap's share of the weekly trading volume on Real-World Asset (RWA) decentralized exchanges jumped from the previous 40% to over 60%.

The surge in trading led to increased fees and UNI burning. Uniswap v4's weekly fees reached an all-time high of $25 million. Of this, $21 million originated from the Robinhood Chain. Uniswap is linking protocol revenue to UNI buybacks and burning. Over $300,000 worth of UNI has been burned in the last 10 days, and the cumulative burn amount has reached approximately $160 million.

Signs of short-term overheating also appeared. The 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) entered the overbought zone at 76. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) was 0.276, surpassing the signal line of 0.219. The first support level is $5.50, and the next support levels are $5.20 and $5. If it decisively breaks above $6, resistance levels at $6.50 and then $7 are presented as the next tests.
