Uniswap (UNI) price has reclaimed the $4 level after climbing more than 9% in the past 24 hours, extending its weekly gains to around 18% as a new product launch and protocol revenue changes continue to attract buyers.
According to Uniswap Labs, the latest catalyst arrived with the launch of Launches, a token discovery hub integrated directly into the Uniswap Web App that aggregates new token launches from multiple launchpads into a single interface.
The feature lets users filter new tokens by launchpad, liquidity, trading volume, trending status, and recent listings instead of monitoring separate platforms individually.
The rollout begins on Robinhood Chain, where Uniswap Labs said more than 340,000 token launches and $3.6 billion in trading volume were recorded during July.
Support for additional Layer 2 networks and blockchains is planned later.
By bringing token discovery into its own application, Uniswap is attempting to keep more trading activity within its ecosystem.
The product update arrives only days after governance proposals strengthened the protocol’s token economics.
Earlier this week, Uniswap governance approved expanding the protocol fee mechanism to v4 pools and Robinhood Chain with 97% support, directing part of protocol revenue toward buying and burning UNI through TokenJar smart contracts.
As previously reported by Invezz, optimism around the fee activation had already been building before today’s rally.
DeFiLlama data showed Uniswap generated roughly $5.2 million in protocol fees during a 24-hour period earlier this month, with Robinhood Chain accounting for about $4.4 million of that figure.
Trading activity on the network has remained strong since Robinhood Chain launched on July 1.
Earlier this month, Uniswap crossed $1 billion in cumulative trading volume on the chain within just nine days of launch, underscoring the network’s early adoption.
Interest in UNI also received support from recent buyback activity. Market participants pointed to a $2.2 million TokenJar transaction as the largest UNI buyback-and-burn event since late 2025, strengthening the connection between protocol revenue and token supply reduction.
Outside its retail products, Uniswap Labs has continued expanding into regulated markets through v4 infrastructure.
The company recently introduced Permissioned Pools for compliance-focused automated market maker trading and released its audited DualPool hook, extending tokenized real-world asset initiatives alongside partners including Superstate and Securitize.
UNI price analysis
UNI’s latest rally has also validated a technical setup that was beginning to form earlier this week.
Yesterday, Invezz identified the $4.05-$4.10 region as the immediate resistance zone.
Friday’s move has pushed the token decisively above that area, turning the former ceiling into an important support level while carrying the price to roughly $4.46, its highest level in around six months.

Holding above $4.00 would preserve the current sequence of higher lows, while the latest breakout indicates buyers remain in control for now.
The Fibonacci retracement chart places UNI near the 0.618 retracement level around $4.59, with the next technical hurdles clustered around $4.94-$5.15, corresponding to the 0.382 and 0.236 retracement levels.
A successful move through that zone would expose the previous swing high near $5.49, provided buying volume continues to expand.
Momentum indicators have not yet reached stretched levels. The daily RSI remains close to 50, suggesting room for further upside before the market enters traditionally overbought territory.
The moving average structure presents another important test.
UNI has reclaimed the 20-day and 50-day EMAs while continuing to trade above the 100-day EMA, but the 200-day EMA near $5.09 remains the next major resistance level that bulls need to overcome.

Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR) data also identifies $4.80-$5.10 as the largest recent trading cluster, indicating that sellers could become more active within that range.
A daily close above the area would strengthen the recovery structure and improve the chances of a move toward $5.50.
On the downside, maintaining support above $4.00 would keep the recent breakout intact.
If profit-taking emerges after the sharp advance, the previous breakout zone around $4.05-$4.10 and the nearby moving averages could provide the first areas where buyers attempt to defend the uptrend.
