Uniswap Price Surges as 100% Supply Unlocks

Uniswap price has fully unlocked its entire 1 billion token supply. Despite this, only approximately 258.3 million UNI tokens, equating to 25.83% of the total, are actively circulating. This analysis, provided by EmberCN, points out that most of the supply is controlled by the community treasury.

Originally issued and listed in September 2020, the UNI token was allocated 83% (830 million tokens) to the team, investors, and the community treasury under a four-year unlock schedule. Now, four years later, all tokens are technically available; however, the primary holders have released less than 8.37 million of these tokens to the market, keeping the actual market circulation relatively low.
