Uniswap’s RWA volume hits 2.5B

Uniswap has reached a significant milestone with its real-world asset (RWA) tokenization volume hitting $2.5 billion, primarily driven by tokenized stocks. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan argues that Uniswap is currently undervalued because the market incorrectly frames it as merely a crypto trading app rather than a platform for broader on-chain finance. By expanding into traditional capital markets, which include $150 trillion in stocks and $350 trillion in credit, Uniswap aims to capture a portion of a $600 trillion total addressable market. To facilitate this transition and ensure regulatory compliance for U.S. investors, the protocol introduced permissioned pools featuring allow-lists to screen against sanctioned entities. This strategic shift follows the recent integration with the Robinhood Chain, which has contributed to increased platform traction. While the UNI token experienced a 95% rally in Q3, it has since faced a 25% pullback, currently testing key technical support levels at the 200-day moving average. Despite short-term volatility, analysts at Standard Chartered Bank maintain a long-term bullish outlook, projecting a potential 40x rally to $100 driven by the ongoing tokenization boom.
