Uniswap

<p>An active crypto whale has been steadily accumulating UNI, the native token to Uniswap, one of the world’s most active decentralized exchanges (DEXes). This development suggests that the address believes the token may edge higher in the coming trading days or weeks, extending gains after a sharp leg up on November 22 when UNI soared, breaking above key resistance levels.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 id="whale-loading-up-more-uni-back-to-10">Whale Loading Up More UNI, Back To $10?</h2> 
<p>According to recent Lookonchain&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/lookonchain/status/1728248780506751460" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data</a>, an Ethereum address, stevu.eth, withdrew 311,302 UNI worth $1.93 million from Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, on November 25, pushing its total UNI holdings to 511,301 UNI, or $3.18 million.</p> 
<p>Notably, this acquisition follows a withdrawal of 500,545 UNI ($2.42 million) from OKX on June 29, which stevu.eth deposited to <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/binance/binance-new-ceo-affirms-strength-in-companys-fundamentals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Binance</a> and OKX in August. However, the recent accumulative behavior on November 25 indicates that the whale is bullish on UNI, possibly expecting prices to float back to $10, a level last seen in August 2022.</p> <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/5gH7Uu36/" rel="nofollow"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full" src="https://www.tradingview.com/x/5gH7Uu36/" alt="Uniswap price trending upward on the daily chart | Source: UNIUSDT on Binance, TradingView" width="1233" height="592"></a> 
<p>Presently, UNI is trading within a bullish breakout formation, looking at the performance in the daily chart. Changing hands at around $6.2 when writing on November 27, the token is up approximately 60% from October lows. Even with the confidence, UNI prices have been mostly consolidating, moving horizontally at spot rates.</p> 
<p>If buyers press on, a close above $6.6 with expanding volumes might confirm buyers of November 22. In that case, the resulting momentum might form the base for another leg up, pushing the token to August 22 highs of around $10.</p> 
<h2 id="uniswap-v4-expectations">Uniswap v4 Expectations</h2> 
<p>The whale’s confidence in UNI aligns with the ongoing development of Uniswap v4, an&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://blog.uniswap.org/uniswap-v4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">upgrade</a>&nbsp;that will significantly enhance the DEX. In this update scheduled for a tentative period in 2024, Uniswap Labs, the team behind Uniswap, is introducing a concept called “hooks.”&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Hooks are contracts that can be executed at various stages of a pool’s lifecycle. According to the team, Hooks, which act as more plugins, provide increased flexibility and customization for Uniswap’s liquidity pools. </p> 
<p>As such, it would be possible for users to enable features like dynamic fees, refined market making, and even advanced orders executed on-chain.</p> 
<p>What’s notable about Uniswap v4 is the introduction of “singleton” contract architecture. All Uniswap liquidity pools will reside inside a single, smart contract in this design change. The team notes that this can significantly reduce gas costs and, more importantly, reduce routing efficiency across numerous pools.</p>
