Standard Chartered Bank’s Geoff Kendrick said the $100 UNI price target by 2030 may be too low, citing faster-than-expected fee burn rates. On-chain data shows that Uniswap’s daily average revenue on the Robinhood Chain reached $244,000 from July 27 to August 12, equating to $89.1 million annually. At $3.53, this burns 4% of the circulating supply per year. Even at $6.5 by 2026, the burn rate would still be 2.2%. Altcoins like UNI could face downward pressure if the current pace continues without additional partnerships.

Huo Xing Finance reports, according to The Defiant, Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, stated that his previous target price of $100 for UNI by end-2030 may have been too low. Kendrick noted that the rate of protocol fee burn on Uniswap’s Robinhood Chain has exceeded prior expectations. Data shows that between July 27 and August 12, Uniswap’s daily protocol revenue averaged approximately $244,000, annualizing to about $89.1 million, all of which was used to repurchase and burn UNI. At the current price of around $3.53, this annualized burn rate represents approximately 4% of the circulating supply (624.2 million UNI). Kendrick called this burn rate “clearly unsustainable,” noting that even at his target price of $6.50 by end-2026, the annualized burn rate would still reach 2.2%, making it difficult to sustain long-term—especially without accounting for additional partnerships similar to Robinhood’s. In the past seven days, Uniswap’s total protocol revenue reached approximately $1.55 million, with $925,000 contributed by Robinhood Chain, accounting for about 60%. Uniswap has deployed v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX on this chain and has become the primary public AMM.
