Standard Chartered Sees Uniswap Reaching $100 by 2030

Standard Chartered's digital assets research team has issued a long-term price target of $100 for Uniswap (UNI) by 2030. This forecast is based on the growing adoption of tokenized real-world assets and decentralised finance in global capital markets. The bank estimates that tokenized assets could grow from approximately $340 billion today to around $4 trillion by 2028.

According to Standard Chartered, tokenized assets currently represent a small fraction of DeFi participation, which is expected to rise significantly over the next decade. The team projects that the share of tokenized assets actively used within DeFi applications could reach 30% by 2030, representing a 37-fold increase from current levels.

For Uniswap, this growth in tokenization and adoption would create higher liquidity, larger trading volumes, and stronger protocol revenues. The bank's forecast outlines a gradual appreciation rather than an immediate jump, with UNI reaching $6.50 in 2026, $20 in 2027, $40 in 2028, $65 in 2029, and eventually $100 by 2030.

However, the caveat to this forecast is that it depends heavily on future adoption rather than current fundamentals. The team notes that institutions may not adopt decentralised finance at the pace expected, and liquidity fragmentation could spread trading activity across multiple platforms instead of concentrating it on a single protocol.
