UNI Whale Transactions Hit Seven-Month High After Standard Chartered Forecast

Uniswap’s latest rally is gaining support from a sharp rise in onchain activity, with UNI active addresses reaching a four-month high and large transactions climbing to their strongest level in seven months.

The increase followed Standard Chartered’s decision to initiate coverage of UNI with a $100 price target for the end of 2030. The forecast helped drive a 24% UNI surge alongside higher trading volume and whale activity, but the latest data shows that market attention did not disappear after the initial price breakout.

Santiment’s UNI activity dashboard tracks daily active addresses alongside transactions valued above $100,000. Both measures continued rising after the forecast entered the market, showing that participation expanded beyond a single burst of speculative trading.

Whale Transactions Reach Seven-Month Peak

Large UNI transactions climbed to their highest level in seven months as major holders repositioned around the rally.

Whale activity alone does not identify whether every transaction represents buying or selling. However, the seven-month peak confirms that larger accounts are moving capital at a pace not seen since late 2025. Combined with UNI holding much of its recent advance, the activity suggests that the market is still processing the implications of Standard Chartered’s institutional valuation thesis.

Active addresses also reached a four-month high, indicating that the increase was not confined to a small number of large wallets. More addresses interacting with UNI can reflect new buyers, profit-taking, transfers into custody and movement toward exchanges or DeFi applications.

The combination is stronger than either measure alone. Whale transactions show that meaningful capital is moving, while active-address growth points to wider participation around the token.

Tokenization Gives The Rally A Fundamental Driver

Standard Chartered’s forecast is built around the expected migration of traditional financial assets into DeFi. The bank projects that UNI could reach $6.50 by the end of 2026 before rising to $20 in 2027, $40 in 2028, $65 in 2029 and $100 in 2030.

Uniswap is already expanding the infrastructure behind that argument. Tokenized securities are now accessible through the protocol’s Web App, Wallet and API, giving eligible users routes into blockchain-based versions of stocks and other financial assets.

More than $9.1 billion has moved through real-world asset pools on Uniswap across 2.6 million transactions involving over 140,000 wallets. The protocol has also processed more than $4.4 trillion in total volume.

Institutional products are entering the same liquidity system. BlackRock’s tokenized money-market fund became tradable through UniswapX, an integration that previously sent UNI sharply higher as BUIDL entered decentralized liquidity.

UNI has also expanded beyond Ethereum through its launch on Solana via Sunrise, giving the asset another distribution route across a major onchain trading ecosystem.

The latest address and whale data gives UNI’s rally a broader base than the original forecast headline. Continued activity near these levels would show that traders are building positions around Uniswap’s tokenization opportunity, while a rapid decline in active wallets and large transactions would leave the price move increasingly dependent on short-term momentum.
