Institutional Activity Surrounding Uniswap's $UNI Token Surges Over the Past Two Days

This trend highlights growing movement in the $UNI market, including transactions from high-value wallets and previously dormant accounts.

Institutional activity around Uniswap’s ($UNI) token has surged over the past two days, with large deposits being made to major centralized exchanges.

One key transaction saw a whale address, “0x59a,” which holds a portfolio valued at $89.4 million, move 1.495 million $UNI (worth $24.3 million) to Binance just an hour ago. The transaction secured the whale an estimated profit of $13.7 million—a 129% gain—after holding the tokens for five months.

“0x59a” is also planning to send 100,000 $UNI (approximately $1.6 million) to Deribit, an Amsterdam-based cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, in the next block.

Another significant deposit was made by a wallet linked to the Uniswap team, which had been inactive for over 4.25 years. The wallet, “0xa37,” sent 4.99 million $UNI (valued at $80.79 million) to Coinbase Prime 25 hours ago.

Interestingly, this is not an isolated event. Since July 4, three previously inactive wallets associated with the Uniswap team have collectively deposited 22.99 million $UNI (worth $221.85 million) to Coinbase Prime. The average price of these transactions has been calculated at $9.648 per token.

Furthermore, around 800,000 $UNI—equivalent to over $13 million—has been sent to exchanges in the past 24 hours alone. This spike in deposits, combined with the reactivation of dormant wallets, raises questions about potential market strategies and institutional plans surrounding $UNI.

As these transactions continue to unfold, market watchers are keeping a close eye on $UNI’s price trajectory, anticipating possible shifts fueled by increased liquidity and strategic movements from major players.
