UNI price forecast: US$90 million will be destroyed annually, UNI may hit a new high

Uniswap dominates the Robinhood Chain, capturing 76.5% of trading activity and incurring considerable agreement fees. The annual UNI destruction volume is close to US$90 million, potentially reducing the circulation supply by nearly 4% annually. Although stronger incomes and growing whale accumulation support UNI, increasing competition remains a risk.

Uniswap (UNI) has gained a strong catalyst through growing agreement revenue and token destruction. UNI recently traded close to $3.48 after falling about 3% in a single day. Meanwhile, whale accumulation reached a five-year high in August. Uniswap also dominates trading activity on Robinhood Chain. This dominance has brought considerable costs to the agreement. With annual destruction approaching $90 million, UNI now has a stronger supply story. Investors still need to consider competition and adoption risks.

Uniswap revenue drives growth in destruction mechanisms

Analyst Geoffrey Kendrick previously set a $100 target price for UNI, which means a significant increase by 2030. Kendrick now believes $100 may be too conservative. His updated views reflect stronger revenue and token destruction potential. Uniswap captured approximately 76.5% of Robinhood Chain trading activity. The chain was launched on July 2 and quickly attracted a large amount of trading volume. This activity provides a direct source of revenue for the agreement.

Uniswap collected $1.81 million from the chain's $2.28 million daily fees, accounting for 78.8% of the total fees. Uniswap holds only 16.3% of the chain's total lock-in value. A fee-sharing system will be launched in December 2025. The mechanism uses agreement revenue to purchase and destroy UNI. The second one was launched on July 27 on Robinhood Chain, a development that effectively doubled the destruction rate.

Kendrick estimates that annualized destruction now amounts to approximately US$89 million to US$90 million. At US$3.48, approximately 25.7 million UNIs are destroyed every year, which accounts for almost 4% of the circulating supply. Uniswap issued 1 billion UNI tokens when it was launched, and approximately 109 million have been destroyed so far. Even at a price of $6.50, annual destruction could reduce supply by approximately 2.2%.

Competition may challenge Uniswap's dominance

Uniswap also launched Pools.trade on Robinhood Chain on August 5. The platform does not charge users additional launch board fees, and liquidity providers receive a standard 0.25% cut. That price is lower than the approximately 1% charge competitors for similar services. However, competition has emerged within the ecosystem. Developer 0xDeployer is building a competitive launch board with SushiSwap.

SushiSwap currently handles only 0.45% of Robinhood Chain trading volume, while Uniswap controls approximately 76.5% of the market. The gap shows Uniswap's current advantages, but competitors may make progress. For the period from July 27 to August 12, average daily income was US$244,000, a 2.4-fold increase from the previous period. This increase strengthens the argument for continued token destruction.

UNI still faces volatility and broader market risks. However, growing revenue provides a stronger fundamental narrative for tokens. Continued destruction can gradually reduce supply as network activity expands. For bulls, this combination may support higher valuations over time.
