Not putting enough money into UNI!

UNI - LTC, that’s about it🥂

Demodras777

Defi will be huge in the next bullrun. No need to go for the low cap ones from that bunch. UNI is the number 1 defi trading platform. AAVE is the number 1 lending and borrowing platform. LDO is the number 1 liquid staking platform.

Over 80% of that burn, about 150,000 tokens, came from traders on Robinhood Chain. A network that launched July 1 is now a meaningful driver of Uniswap's revenue. This chain did not exist ten weeks ago. It has now handled $34.6 billion in cumulative DEX volume and 576 million transactions, and on its biggest day it moved enough volume to set an all-time record for one of DeFi's oldest and largest protocols. Robinhood brought roughly 28 million existing customers, waived commissions, and covered gas during the early period, and the volume followed exactly as you'd expect when you remove every barrier for a huge existing user base. On that same record day, Robinhood Chain's blob posts to Ethereum stalled for 14 minutes. Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum-based L2, which means it settles to Ethereum and depends on Ethereum's blob market to post its data. When volume spiked to its highest level ever, that dependency showed its edges and the chain briefly lost its connection to the base layer it relies on. Arbitrum says the chain never actually went down, but the 14-minute stall is the tell. This could be what mainstream DeFi adoption actually looks like when it finally arrives, and it doesn't look like crypto Twitter imagined. It looks like a brokerage app most people already have quietly routing enormous volume onto an L2, generating real fees, and pumping the burn on established protocols like Uniswap. Tokenized stocks and a frictionless UX brought normies on-chain at a scale the crypto-native chains never managed. If you wanted proof that DeFi rails can carry TradFi-scale activity, a two-month-old chain setting Uniswap burn records is it. However, most of this volume is memecoin churn, not the tokenized-equity revolution Robinhood pitched, and the 14-minute Ethereum stall exposes that the whole thing is more fragile than the volume numbers suggest. A chain that loses contact with its settlement layer on its biggest day has a scaling problem it hasn't solved, and "it never technically went down" is the kind of reassurance that ages badly. Build your house on Ethereum's blob market and you inherit Ethereum's constraints at the worst possible moment. Everyone's going to focus on the $3 billion and the record burn because big green numbers are exciting. The more important detail is that the record day is exactly when the infrastructure buckled for 14 minutes. A chain that only works great until its busiest moment isn't finished, no matter how good the burn chart looks. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

You should research: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, SKY, MORPHO, UNI, XMR, ZEC thank me later

kizomanizo

I'm getting wiped clean with UNI, these alt coins are basically traps for slow but very obvious rug pulls. Cashing out to USDT on any profit or capital regain, not stopping loss anyway!

Demodras777

Defi coins are doing well too. Look at UNI!

Demodras777

Defi coins like UNI and LDO have yet to take off and i expect those to boom in the next bull market.

Kimboslav

During my time at crypto I tried quite a few exchanges and platforms. For start I would recommend [ether.fi](https://www.ether.fi/@c5d13ee4) as crypto Neobank. You can deposit fiat, use their card in google/apple wallets for ordinary stuff and get 3% cashback in crypto. Also buy ETH there and than trade on Dexes like UNI.

MakCapital

Core holdings besides BTC should now be HYPE, SOL, HOOD, ETH. HYPE has been an obvious leading choice. Massive number of wallets and trading platforms not only integrating, but the largest like Phantom soon launching their own markets on HL. With majority rev burn.. come on. Been a no brainer buy. Anyone's guess if ETH as private money or Solana as the best chain for users will grab more attention this bull. UNI performing completely depends on capturing RH + Base activity. Most of this activity will be on RH L2 anyway. They win no matter what protocols dominate their L2. They win even without their L2. This and AMM rev share to token holders is garbage. All to LPs. RH L2 trench activity will eventually rotate back to Solana, but this isn't going to stop RH. SOL/ETH much easier to predict once Solana can actually get a SOL value capture proposal passed. Critical, but they already have the users. Don't fade either yet. X in profile

Spoofik

If you look at TVL, UNI probably has the greatest growth potential, but there are plenty of other factors to consider as well; all three projects are truly worth paying attention to, so spreading your investment across all three would be a good decision.

GrapefruitOwn6261

I’ve already got HYPE and got in really early around $14, so I’m well up on that. I’m looking at Lighter, TAO, Morpho, Jupiter, AERO, Virtuals, Syrup and Arweave. I’ll probably pick 2 or 3. I’m just trying to work out what could give me the best gains when the next proper bull market comes around. I did really well with CAKE and UNI in 2021, and last cycle most of my AI coins did well, but it’s harder to tell what the next big narrative will be this time. I’m leaning towards some form of DeFi again, or maybe projects that are effectively following the HYPE model. Just trying to figure out where the biggest opportunities might be. I need to sell my cvx first though as that’s my play money

The-great-phoenix

Swapping cryptos is still a thing so UNI or CAKE make sense as well right ?

Orin_n

I made some nice gains with UNI yesterday, I think it'd be somewhere at the top of the list too. Real talk, it doesn't matter if you buy BTC or ETH, or any other altcoin. You'd literally be buying the BTC movement regardless, so there is no 'risk' per se.

The first category is memecoins, that have ever been so chased after by the trenches, with some people gotten really lucky and millions more trying to repeat their success that’s often been stemming from insider knowledge or simply luck. 2. Then there are actual on-chain businesses that have either recently been emerged (e.g. CARDS, etc) or are already well-established (e.g. AAVE, UNI, etc) and have ongoing developments around accruing value to their token much like a tokenized equity. There is still no regulatory framework around that and so most of their price performance hinges on the market trusting their promise. But there are still unclear questions on how the value is being distributed with some calling for full token buybacks, while others say cashflows are enough. 3. The last and most established category is the standalone infrastructure itself, resembling much more digital economies with their tokens acting as digital commodities (e.g. ETH, SOL, etc). I think this is were the market is most confused and their lies great opportunity ahead, due to their established size and predictability of cycles. In my view the most reliable method to value these tokens are on their fundamental demand based on fees/flows. Anyone looking solely at token burns, TVL, active wallet counts etc, is missing the forest for the trees. I think the best shot at a broad market recovery comes at looking at the tokens of these big, digital economies, such as ETH. If you’re long enough in crypto, you know that this has always produced the most healthiest rallies and market conditions. Right now it’s not looking like that, but the flows are dynamic and subject to change in a daily/weekly basis. Here’s a screenshot of custom-built software around that and it’s suffice to say that we still have to see flows picking up further to reliably call a market bottom. But I am personally very excited and bullish for the next 18-24 months.

Hype, UNI, Sol

master-beast-72

the dismissive responses here aren't wrong per se — most altcoins underperform BTC over any meaningful timeframe. but "all alts are dead" misses the actual question, which is about approach, not whether it's possible. what actually separates people who make money on alts from those who don't: 1. picking alts with real revenue — protocols that generate fees, have token buybacks/burns, and would survive a bear market because users actually need them (ETH, AAVE, UNI, etc) vs pure speculation plays 2. position sizing — keeping alts to 15-25% of portfolio max, so BTC/ETH carry the bulk and alt losses don't wipe gains 3. entry timing — alts tend to outperform BTC late in bull cycles when BTC dominance peaks and capital rotates. buying alts in sideways/bear market is where most people get burned. 4. setting profit targets in advance — alts are volatile by design, and people who made money typically had a "sell 50% at 2x" discipline rather than HODLing until it reversed. none of this guarantees anything, but those are the actual variables that matter.

West_Veterinarian150

Heres my take. 30% BTC NOW, 25-30% ETH maybe when it drops to 1500 again later in the year. 7% LINK, 7% QNT, 5% TAO, 5% LTC, last 15-16% can go straight into some stock or maybe even TON coin they offer 17% apy on staking on tangem. Not bad if the price stays at 1.60 but tbh not all in on TON yet. But you could also add UNI, has big boys in there BlackRock

Demodras777

UNI or LDO are much better alternatives.

Few_Green1142

My portfolio is down by 25%. Shall I wait for it give 10 to 15% profit or selling it now will be the wise decision. My portfolio has BTC, ETH, SOL, UNI, POL

Demodras777

UNI and LIDO are good defi buys.

Logical_Lemming

ETH, UNI, WLD. Holding XMR but not buying more because it didn't dump enough for my taste.

Okay, since LINK being down 84% means it's a shitcoin let's compare it to some on your list: 1. UNI: -92% 2. HBAR: -84% 3. SUI: -84% They have the exact same abysmal price action but somehow they're "so much better".

No_Giraffe_4647

The ones generating revenue I like especially HYPE AAVE UNI But as well exposed on HBAR DOVU SUI I am investing in CRCL shares as well

No_Giraffe_4647

Beside the major cryptos BTC/ETH I am stacking HBAR, HYPE, AAVE and UNI for the following reasons: HBAR has hashgraph tech which is pushing limits of scalability, energy efficiency plus speed at new competition level. It starts to create noise and more and more deal closed but still at a very discounted price HYPE because of the leverage provided to the crypto derivatives it is very popular and generating tons of volume and revenue. They are using a large chunk of this revenue to burn token and create more scarcity (max supply was originally 1 billion and falling) AAVE as key player for lending and borrowing cryptos which is very popular activity as well just after derivative leverage positions. The margin is not high but volumes are tremendous so it is generating pretty good revenue Finally UNI as swapping coins is becoming a national sport and they take a few bucks on million transactions so pretty good revenue stream, pity thing is that nothing benefit to token holders yet in regards of revenue sharing but it might change soon.

Post is by: core3guy and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r8yzg7/i_guess_we_made_a_universal_risk_number_for_any/ We scored 50 crypto projects with 98 risk assessments to calculate a score for how a project is exposed to risk.  Disclaimer: we’re really in pilot stage, plan to scale to 1k projects in Q2 2026. And it’s not vibe coded. Note2: Undisclosed data is treated as absent. If a project can't show verifiable evidence of a risk practice, the methodology counts it as missing, trust the code and all that. **What the data showed:** * Anonymous teams disclose more risk management practices than doxxed teams. * Best risk managed projects are: ETH, LINK, UNI, AAVE * Pepe is measurably less risky than Dogecoin.  * Official Trump is slightly less risky than World Liberty Financial. * 86% projects from our set don’t have insurance.  * 73% of crypto projects listed lack real-time monitoring. (Some bought and didn’t set it up) * Newer projects had less risk exposure than older ones. * 100% compliant projects almost didn’t disclose security practices. How we quantified it: 1. Each project was evaluated across six risk domains: security, financial, operational, reputational, regulatory, and dependency 2. Each domain contains approximately 40 conditions that can contribute to or mitigate risk 3. When conditions are met (or not met), the project receives points in that domain 4. Domain scores are converted into a weighted composite — some domains carry more weight than others 5. The final output is reversed to get a single number: the Probability of Loss (smaller number - less risk) Generally speaking, most crypto projects are, well, risky, because they don’t disclose information, or just don’t do enough to mitigate risks.  I’m not sure if I can share links here, so it’s CORE3 (it's free). Drop a note if something looks wrong; we want to make it a standard for Web3, so I will really appreciate the feedback. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Aave is a top hold. And also UNI, now that Blackrock has confirmed using their platform for RWA tokenization use cases.

I like a lot of people who have been posting here for years got a lot of free money from moons. I can't even imagine the type of bank the mods made. There has been a lot of risk free, free money in crypto for those with common sense. Of course, there is no free lunch. Someone always has to pay for this. And its always the people buying the free worthless tokens being handed out. > I think I got 40K moons in the first distribution. Then almost 10K the next few rounds Watched it for a bit and I think got somewhere around ~0.20 BTC off them. Back end of 2021, I watched Moons skyrocket for a bit. > But it was still free ~0.20 BTC. I always choose free BTC. There are always massive dumps, saturation points, liquidity issues, thin volume, etc with these tokens. > Call me a maxi or whatever but collected UNI, ARB, etc airdrops and got decent amounts of free BTC. Collected MYST tokens during 2017 ICO hype where they were testing decentralized VPN and got BTC for those running nodes. Used to get BAT rewards when they gave out a decent amount to see what the hype was about. Exchanged for BTC. Other random things like buying and holding EOS for a bit when it was doing air drops for some stake sharing token. > Probably close to ~0.5 free BTC since 2017 and the BTC ratio/sats value of everything has gone waaaay down. https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1hw627m/daily_crypto_discussion_january_8_2025_gmt0/m5zcx99/

Aerocryptic

True. But the issue is I don't see any specific tailwind for SOL. Memecoin mania is over, ETH is trying to scale on the L1 level. And it's still 40%ish away from this level of support. TAO I've kept some as AI is still very much a thing and we're just potentially 1 successful subnet away from an uncorrelated run. I don't see that kind of catalyst in the short to mid term for SOL or even UNI

LargeSnorlax

Doesn't really look much different than stuff like TAO or UNI - Everything's reverting to the mean There's worse stuff out there too, stuff like DOT is going sub $1 soon, stuff like ALGO and ARB are scraping the very bottom

tldr; Uniswap's UNI token surged over 20% after BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, announced it had acquired an undisclosed amount of UNI tokens and was collaborating with Uniswap. The partnership involves making BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund shares tradable via UniswapX. Uniswap, a leading decentralized exchange, enables trading without personal details and holds $3 billion in deposits. BlackRock's move aligns with its broader interest in tokenized assets and crypto ETFs. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Fair points. Thank you. I really like HYPE but i feel like it can fall down to $20 before I really consider it. As you’ve read the title of the post, the coins i want to discuss are ones that I will want to invest right now, like in this minute. That said, your point about HYPE is well taken. Ik about UNI but why do you think QNT and ONDO are good? What’s their story and why do YOU feel it’s compelling to invest in?

DeviMon1

they actually have. major alts that are and have been solid projects eg LINK, DOT, UNI etc all are lower than they've been in 4+ years

diwalost

Most of the protocols have fees part of which sometimes go to team. But mostly they have allocation of project token which they can deploy to earn yield. For example Uniswap team having $UNI token which they can deploy as LP to earn yield.

anotherfroggyevening

Any thought on UNI, AAVE?

Demodras777

So does that mean i should buy UNI and DOT?

SnooJokes2830

Just buy $UNI instead if you’re low on funds. More riskier but it’s a bet on $ETH system. If $ETH pops, $UNI pops by 4-5x

piggleii

Good news to UNI bagholders. The Uniswap team have decided to become your exit liquidity with their new buyback program, so you can now offload your bags to them? What's that? You think it's actually bullish so you won't sell? Ok. My bad.

UNI looks like it’s about to leg up again. Currently 6.3

ZhenyaV

Its a good thing and once liquidity hits markets and fear and greed index rises - it would pump UNI. However before that happens, it can continue going down another 30 50 70%. And in the long run - they have to register UNI as a security or bind devco/labs to buyout UNI holders in case they are getting acquired. Without those steps - there is no future for UNI token (while the underlying protocol can continue to prosper).

DBRiMatt

Time to buy $Sushi in hopes they copy UNI again xD

Logical_Lemming

What do you think of the UNIfication proposal currently going through Uniswap governance? You think it'll actually succeed in driving value to the UNI token, or is it just a way to formalize Uniswap Labs being paid 20M UNI/year?

Bandoolou

UNI is a buy right now. Huge vote going down Dec 25th, not currently priced in.

ZhenyaV

which altseason in 2024 are you talking? BTC, memecoins and a couple of hyped VC tokens? Protocols that actually make money UNI, MORPHO, AAVE didn't even reached previous ath while continuously developing and innovating in the last 3 years, locking record amount of users and TVL.

BitcoinIRA

Diversification across alts can help protect from market volatility, so you can try different categories (DeFi like UNI, Layer 1s like SOL or AVAX, stables, etc.)

RamoneBolivarSanchez

“ARB and TIA have great technology” The fact you’re conflating (worthless) governance tokens with the underlying stack show how baseless any/all of these “investments” have been. Celestia is the protocol, TIA is the token that arguably exists for zero reason. Same can be said with ARB as a token. Nobody needs ARB to use Arbitrum. You should read about tokenomics before doing things like this. It’s the reason why Uniswap is a great protocol but UNI as a token is garbage. Or what Chainlink is important for oracles, but LINK itself brings virtually no utility to retail holders.

Post is by: tornavec and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ph6xok/dumping_defi_investors_pivot_to_ai_and_metaverse/ A detailed analysis of seven-day net flow charts on Binance, the largest exchange, revealed fundamental differences in trader behaviour. There has been a clear rotation of capital in the market, depending on the specific altcoin sector. The decentralised finance (DeFi) sector is now at risk of large-scale sell-offs. In terms of coin inflows to the trading platform, Uniswap (UNI) is the clear leader with an impressive positive balance of +10.3 million. Similar trends of transferring assets to the exchange are evident with Chainlink (+4.7 million) and Curve. High SNX deposit activity (17.7% of the trading volume) also confirms large players' desire to secure profits or provide liquidity for sale. A completely different situation is unfolding around projects related to artificial intelligence and virtual worlds. FET and SAND assets are showing a net outflow of funds (at −1.2 million each). Traditionally, withdrawing cryptocurrency from exchange balances to cold wallets is considered a powerful bullish signal. This suggests that investors are accumulating promising AI and gaming tokens in the long term, rather than speculating in the short term. The market is clearly reallocating resources in favour of trending technologies. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Buying LINk is the same as buying UNI. It’s a useless government token.

Dry_Jellyfish641

Everyone is forgetting UNI. DEX popularity is only growing and UNI will always be ahead of the others

Sandharbor

Looking for ones actually being used and taking in fees, creating revenue for the chain/protocol. I own and will accumulate some of these based on them taking in high fees, decent tokenomics, some in addition buy back and burn making them potentially deflationary.  AAVE  SKY   SOL ETH COIN(stock) it’ll benefit from multiple facets of the market; Base, Aero, USDC, being an exchange, coinbase ventures, holds crypto on treasury, etc May add UNI didn’t do good this run but is established, implementing a burn to reward holders, and takes in one of the most fees. 

Probstna

UNI

Sandharbor

Crypto stocks have outperformed most alts and BTC itself by a long shot since last cycle. I almost say research and play some of those stocks when they correct over majority of alts.  However, relating to crypto the chains raking in most fees are ETH, SOL, with a lot of layer 2’s doing so too. One of them being Base which ironically benefits COIN stock.  Other things taking in most fees are Defi; UNI, AAVE, SKY, AERO, upcoming project called SYRUP is interesting too.  If I have to pick four that you haven’t mentioned I’m probably going SOL, AAVE, SKY, and COIN stock. Of course timing or DCA into good entries is on you.

Got into crypto some years ago, put 300$ today into an account i dont mind losing and tried leverage for the first time. Shorting/longing UNI based on nothing but pure degen emotion of how i feel. somehow im at 1400$ atm, with a long still open, all were 8x (shorts/longs) i really didnt mind losing the whole 300$ but its getting to the point when the "do i really dont mind losing that" is ehhh either way if i lose everything in that (ie whatever became of the starting 300$) im \*never\* touching leverage again because its addictive af ngl so i must stop it now

gowithflow192

The news is just a trigger an excuse for the pump. It is not too late to get in, UNI as at historic low price and still is.

this is huge, im stacking UNI

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Uniswap leadership has proposed activating a 'fee switch' to redirect a portion of protocol revenue to burn UNI tokens, potentially increasing their value. The proposal includes burning $800 million worth of tokens and disbanding the Uniswap Foundation, transferring its responsibilities to Uniswap Labs. The fee switch would apply to Uniswap v2 and v3 pools, with future votes for v4 and other blockchains. The move aims to tie UNI's value to the protocol's success, sparking a 29% rise in UNI's value. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Bitcoin surged past $107,000, significantly impacting high-leverage traders, with notable liquidations reported. This rise was influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a $2,000 dividend payment for millions of Americans, which brought fresh liquidity to the crypto market. The altcoin market also saw gains, with coins like WLFI, PUMP, ZEC, and UNI increasing. Despite the positive momentum, the market's volatility led to substantial losses for some traders, emphasizing the need for caution in the crypto space. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I believe BTC is done for this season. I think a few alts will pump. Trending low and due a pump I want to cut this list down to half to concentrate my trades: ENA, UNI, DOT, SHIB, LINK. Wait for the pump then sell 2 weeks in because they always dump back down. Which are your favorites out of that list and why?

002_timmy

UNI ;-)

uthillygooth

Is this what they call projection? What am I coping about exactly? I don’t own any lol 🤷‍♂️ also, you’re proving my exact point or, in your rush, didn’t read what I said. They provide filet mignon product BUT CHARGE TACO BELL fees for using that product. Charging minuscule fees for revenue is what I’m talking about, not price action. If adoption is the only metric of value, yall should be buying UNI hand-over-fist as well.

theweb3voyager

Dude if you’re starting on crypto I’d go for blue chips on infra understand what they’re for and buy. Like UNI, AAVE or LINK.

MountainGuido

ADA doesn't do anything unique that can't be done with SOL . I'd add to this list. XMR, LINK, UNI, and HBAR

Post is by: hduynam99 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1o6ojrl/the_fed_pivot_signal/ 3 months ago in July, I posted about the Fed ending QT and flipping to QE in Q4. Now, Powell’s October 14, 2025, signal to end QT, after a $2T balance sheet haircut in June 2022. Paired with three 2025 rate cuts and Trump’s $2K stimulus buzz, liquidity’s flooding back. BTC dominance dropped from 60% to 52%, alt market cap’s at $1.05T, and king of alts ETH already broke its ATH, ready for stronger move. The History: QT to QE pivot pattern: * In May 2013, Bernanke’s taper talk (slowing QE3’s $85B/month) shook BTC from $120 to $100, but by December, gradual tapering sent it to $1,150, 6 months to peak, no alts. * September 2019’s QT end, 50bps rate cuts, and $300B liquidity shot sparked ETH (+200%) and LINK (+500%), doubling alt cap to $100B. March 2020’s monster QE ($700B/month, zero rates, $7T balance sheet) drove BTC from $5K to $69K and alts (UNI, AAVE 100x, SOL +11,000%) to a November 2021 top, 20 months from pivots. Now and why the cycle top’s likely 6-12 months out (April-September 2026) * The Fed’s September 2025 25bps rate cut to 4-4.25% as unemployment hit 4.3% marked the first easing of the year, signaling a shift toward looser monetary policy. This liquidity bump, with bank reserves steady near $3.2T, ETH/BTC ratio up 100% since may 2025. Bitcoin dominance, hovering at 59% (down from 66% peaks), suggests alts are catching bids, with ETH leading on ETF inflows ($4.8B+ YTD).  * Could alts double to $2.3T? Possible, but history warns of traps. The 2019 QT pause and cuts took 20 months to drive alt cap from $100B to $500B, fueled by retail FOMO in a smaller market. Today’s $3.8T crypto market and ETF liquidity could compress that to 6-12 months, pointing to an early Q2 2026 peak. But the May 2026 Fed chair transition looms as a macro wildcard. No guarantees, markets love to humble the overconfident. There will be a lot of volatility in the market, stay safe out there, my play book remaining the same, DCA in during low risk and DCA out during high risk. ETH will lead altcoin season as always, breaking ATH first and topping last (compare to most of alts, not your only special specific xxx coin). Stay close to ETH risk metrics to monitor your alts.  *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Yeah, I also don't. But in the top 50 there are lots of solid projects like ARB, AAVE, UNI etc. I consider mid-level alts 51-200 in market cap. They have some niche usage. And others is low-level alts. But let's be real, most of them are shitcoins.

Funny how some coins on certain exchanges went to 0 lol (example: ATOM on binance). Today was the first time i bought Crypto since mid 2022 (when i left the crypto market after BTC lost the 27-30k support). Bought DOT and UNI 😋 this has some Covid crash vibes

GreedVault

Binance alpha alts and newer alts are pumping, but the OG cryptos like ADA, MATIC, UNI, AAVE, SOL aren’t moving as much.

It's the reason I sometimes ask the utility question when people ask for opinions on a (new) token. They often are mainly for governance of the protocol. That means deciding about changes such as supported chains or assets & upgrades. I will not hide that I am not technically versed enough to make these government decisions, ergo I do not need the token. That does by no means imply that I wouldn't use the protocol itself. That looks like solid tech. It is important to educate about the difference between owning ASTER tokens & using the ASTER protocol. And that goes for so many DeFi projects. You don't need UNI tokens to use Uniswap. You don't need AAVE tokens to use AAVE's decentralized lending & borrowing protocol. So if people want to do ASTER governance, sure - invest. Maybe also invest if you use the protocol often (for reduced fees & revenue share). People should clear before investing what benefits the token buys. Many don't even know them let alone can formulate them clearly. "Sell the token to the next guy." is exactly what challenges this clarity.

When it comes to DeFi, too many people (IMO) focus on the tokens such as AAVE or CRV or exchange tokens like UNI. These projects are all part of DeFi but their function is mainly governance of the corresponding portocols & how they should evolve. Like what chains & tokens to support and so on. Mostly these decisions are fairly technical & to make a good decision holders should understand the technology well. So for me it has become much more important to actually use the DeFi protocols. Lend some coins on AAVE to generate some yield, swap on decentralized exchanges instead of CEX to keep custody & control. The real things are build already, my tip is to use them. AAVE is a good start I think. Learn what the protocol does & how the code secures your money. If you feel satisfied, connect your wallet & turn your idle asset into something that generates yield. This works on many L2s as well.

I don't think this is accurate. **Coins** (chain native assets like BTC, ETH, SOL) are not smart contracts. Most **tokens** (like DAI, USDT, LINK, UNI or NTFs) are smart contracts, regardless of the chain they live on. There are only very few examples of tokens that are chain native & therefore aren't smart contracts. A few such tokens are Colored Coins (early Bitcoin “tokens”), Algorand Standard Assets (ASA) or Cardano Native Tokens.

EntertainmentBoth187

You don’t need the token to use the wallet, that’s the whole point. You hold it if you want revenue share + perks. It's like saying that Uniswap's token does nothing because you can still swap without holding UNI

Let's first clear up the concept of staking. Staking just means "locking funds to serve a purpose". What that purpose is, differs from project to project. In general we can say there's two main groups in crypto. 1. Staking for security: you already are familiar with this one. The coin has a value and people are rewarded for staking their value in a node The purpose is to introduce a cost to attack the network (aka. Change parameters). The basic and most common version of this, is single sided/ solo staking. The issue with solo staking is that it ends up as dead capital. Meaning it doesn't serve a purpose beyond just sitting there. Additionally, people expect a reward for locking their funds away. So block rewards are what usually pays that, with the inflation that it brings to the table. 2. Staking for yield: This is usually something that's done on DEXs and DeFi protocols. These ecosystems need liquidity to operate properly. And the more liquidity they have, the more competitive they can be in terms of slippage and price impact. So you are familiar with LP tokens I assume? The purpose of staking for yield, is to lock your LP token in the ecosystem, so it can guarantee better liquidity for trades. When you stake you expect to get paid, so again staking rewards are introduced. This is usually in the form of a DEX token like UNI or something. But, it can also be a share of protocol income that would otherwise go to developer funds etc. ---------- Last bit of information I'll throw at you: You have projects like Maya protocol that does a different approach. There you stake (bond) your LP token directly to a node. So that's a hybrid of what I just explained. To understand why they take this approach, I suggest you look into Maya and Thorchain to see why it can make sense. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

tldr; Uniswap achieved record-breaking milestones in 2025, including 915 million swaps and over $1 trillion in trading volume, solidifying its dominance in DeFi. Despite generating $1.65 billion in protocol fees and $50 million in annual revenue, the UNI token's price remains stagnant due to the lack of buybacks, profit sharing, and opaque token mechanisms. Experts suggest reforms like revenue sharing, supply transparency, and stronger incentives to align UNI's value with Uniswap's growth. UNI currently trades at $8.09, down 82% from its 2021 ATH. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

i fucking hate working. like, i hate it more than the average person by a long shot. also like staying home alone, so when i managed to make trading work, i simply lost a need for a normal job. that would just make me less money. i'm finishing chemistry UNI, then i want my masters and then to quit my country forever

PenguinsInvading

PEPE, UNI, LDO and ARB (Pmce money flows into the ETH chain coins it'll be a good) potential candidates. ENA can begin another leg as well. Pay attention to HBAR it's kinda repeating a pattern I've seen a lot in previous bullruns. Disclaimer: I won't tell you when to buy and at what price. My strategy works only for myself and my personality. Proceed with your own risk and money management plan. These clins have potential but it doesn't mean they'll start moving up just because I recognize them as good choices. Market can decide to do whatever it wants so don't forget stop losses.

Yes at the core of **cryptocurrency**, the major purpose is to be used as a **currency**. The utility of these cryptocurrencies can be within an app, an ecosystem, a community, etc; serving as a means to pay for a service. Trying to twist the very obvious to eradicate the importance of cryptocurrencies like ETH, UNI, LINK, Zeta, XMR, BSC, and others is so 2015. This is not a topic we should be addressing in 2025 where even memecoins are literally gaining relevance for different usecases like supporting charity causes, saving wildlife, providing Healthcare services to less developed countries, planting trees and more.

Haven’t been around as long (2020) and have been steadily liquidating my LINK after buying at around $6-$7 during the dip (this was after initially buying in between $15-20). Still hold a lot of UNI, DOT, MATIC/POLY from back then whose prices never recovered.

zesushv

I have been holding Algo for years since it touched 1.9 in 2021 or so. Never touched ava or vet. If I had 10k sitting around I will go with btc 90% and eth 10%. If I am pressed to consider alts, it will be LINK, Monero or UNI; these to me have their value tied to services people use now and will still use in future.

panthera_N

Open the charts of UNI, CAKE, and some other DEX coins for more details 😁

emir_rt192

Yeah, solid picks. You might also look at UNI, LINK, WBT

GreenStretch

I'm not sure how much value the alts hold from cycle to cycle. I believed in the stories you mentioned enough to purchase all four, but sold my DOT and UNI into BTC by now and am waiting to sell LINK and XRP.

blastermckaster

Highest risk and reward right now would be getting into alts. I would recommend ADA, LINK, DOT, AVAX, UNI, ENA & ALGO. I'm personally invested in these and I believe we could see 3 to 5x, or if this altseason is crazy.....10-15x.

EarningsPal

I really thought UNI would eventually burn and absorb the gas guzzler fees from Ethereum. With Unichain, maybe it will happen.

GimmeMoney24

i agree with people saying UNI buy DYOR!! Take a risk if you're young lol! Buying doge at that age bought me my first house!

Neat-Emu-8731

If you’re only riding one, $LINK feels like the best degen bet it’s infra every chain needs, gets monster pumps when narratives heat up, and has way stronger upside vibes than UNI’s weak tokenomics or AVAX/AAVE’s slower grind plays.

AlbiBambi

If you really want to pick one out of all those it's either AAVE or UNI, but thta's just my opinion, and you should NEVER take advice from strangers online who express their opinions. DYOR, figure out which coin looks the best FOR YOU and just make the bet

ruserious2day

Learn from my bags that going too big on Alts no matter how compelling the tech is a bad idea. I invested $150k in a basket of crypto that I felt strongly about. 50% in ETH and BTC and the rest spread evenly in SUI, NEAR, LINK, UNI, POLY, STARK, STACks and AI16z, I’m down 30% overall even though I’m up substantially on ETH, BTC, LINK and SUI. Some of those alts are down 70%! If I could do it all again I’d concentrate 75% in BTC and ETH and I would not hold any ALTS long term. No matter how good the story they will be slaughtered when ALT season ends and crypto winter sets in.

Altruistic-Buy8779

They're called ERC20 tokens. Things like AAVE, UNI, 1INCH, USDT, USDC, to name a few popular ones. Some like the ones I name actually have a utility other's don't and must be a meme coin, a funding token, or an presale of an ICO.

Any-Dragonfruit8363

Diversify your portfolio. the future is uncertain honestly. Just don't invest in memes (unless you support the culture and product). I have BTC, SOL, ETH, and other "unsure but might be good" assets like HYPE, AVAX, OKB, SUI, UNI, ARB, & APT. 70% is allocated to BTC, SOL, ETH. 30% for the rest. and the reason why I have the other 30% is because I personally use their service. If I can't use them, why would I buy them? it's not just another number stored in your wallet. It's the utility that matters.

Key_nine

Same with $AERO. With Google threatening to ban any wallet app not federally registered it just leaves Coinbase as the biggest app and $AERO is the biggest dex for base. $AERO is probably going to be one of the strongest surprise runner this cycle. $UNI was a inbetween to buy base coins but with $AERO being added to base/coinbase and any token created on it will let traders bypass the need for $UNI and $CAKE.
