Uniswap Governance Vote on Protocol Fees Concludes as Token Rallies
The Uniswap community completed voting on two major governance proposals, with the on-chain vote closing on July 26, 2026. The proposals included one to activate protocol fees on select v4 pools for the first time, and another to extend v2 and v3 fee collection to Robinhood Chain.
Robinhood Chain Expansion Drives Strong Performance
Uniswap (UNI) has gone up by nearly 23% in the past 30 days, outpacing all of the tokens with a higher market cap during this period following the launch of the Robinhood Chain. The Ethereum Layer-2, secured by Arbitrum, launched on July 1, 2026, and Uniswap was a day-one deployment. The network saw over $3.1 billion in DEX volume in its first week, with Uniswap's cumulative swap volume surpassing $6 billion by July 10.
Recent Price Action and Market Momentum
Uniswap (UNI) price has been one of the stronger-performing DeFi tokens since mid-June, climbing from a local low of around $2.27 to trade near $3.82 at the time of writing—a gain of nearly 68% in just over a month. In the past 24 hours alone, the token has jumped by 7% to $3.68, as trading volumes experienced a strong 66% boost. At $190 million, daily volumes currently account for over 8% of the asset's circulating market cap, indicating that buying pressure continues to be strong as the token approaches a key resistance area.
