UNI’s performance is accompanied by a 120% leap in trading volume over the last 24 hours to $1.18 billion. Its market capitalization has increased by 44% over the past week to $9.4 billion, making it the 16th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.


This follows a proposal by the Uniswap Foundation to upgrade the protocol’s governance for fee redistribution with an aim to increase community involvement. The upgrade will particularly focus on distributing the protocol fee to holders of the UNI token.


The Uniswap Foundation announced this earlier in a Feb. 23 post on X, saying that the “upgrade would reward UNI holders who have staked and delegated their tokens.”


The proposal involves enhancing the owner of the mainnet UniswapV3Factory contract to allow for permissionless and programmatic collection of protocol fee revenue.

Snapshot voting for the proposal commenced on March 1 and will remain open until March 7.


According to the Uniswap Foundation, the proposal has received significant support from the community. As of 11:00 pm ET, the proposal has 55 million UNI 100% agreeing to the upgrade.Whale accumulation and increasing network activity increase demand for UNI

These buyers will try to push the UNI higher to retest the high at $17 before making an attempt to confront resistance from the $20 level.


On the other hand, the RSI painted overbought conditions for UNI, hinting at a possible trend reversal, which can put an end to the token’s bull rally.
