Uniswap’s UNI token could be one of crypto’s biggest winners over the next five years if Wall Street’s push into tokenized assets continues to accelerate.<\/p>\n
That is the view of Standard Chartered<\/a>, which has initiated coverage of Uniswap and argued the decentralized exchange<\/a> may be positioned at the center of a rapidly expanding financial system.<\/p>\n The bank’s bullish outlook comes as major asset managers and financial institutions increasingly experiment with tokenized funds, stablecoins <\/a>and blockchain-based settlement infrastructure.<\/p>\n Related: Anthony Scaramucci unveils Bitcoin target for July<\/a><\/p>\n Standard Chartered sees Wall Street driving Uniswap growth<\/p>\n Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research, Geoffrey Kendrick, has assigned <\/a>UNI a $100 price target by the end of 2030, implying roughly 40x upside from current levels.<\/p>\n The bank forecasts UNI reaching $6.50 by the end of 2026, followed by $20 in 2027, $40 in 2028, $65 in 2029 and $100 in 2030.<\/p>\n “This would see UNI outperform both ETH and BTC through end-2030,” Kendrick wrote.<\/p>\n According to the report, the value of tokenized assets actively used in decentralized finance (DeFi) could grow 37-fold by 2030, helping drive total value locked across DeFi protocols to roughly $2.7 trillion.<\/p>\n Kendrick argued that Uniswap is uniquely positioned to benefit because of its scale, brand recognition and role as core market infrastructure.<\/p>\n “For TradFi institutions, Uniswap should be viewed less as a retail DEX app and more as market infrastructure that TradFi can integrate with once tokenized assets scale and TradFi operators want to plug them into DeFi,” he wrote.<\/p>\n Trending on TheStreet Roundtable:Prediction comes as institutions move onchain<\/p>\n The forecast arrives as several major financial firms deepen their involvement with blockchain infrastructure.<\/p>\n On Feb. 11, BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund BUIDL became accessible <\/a>through UniswapX, while Fidelity recently deployed liquidity from its FIDD stablecoin into Uniswap and Curve pools.<\/p>\n Uniswap has also highlighted tokenized <\/a>versions of popular equities such as SpaceX, Apple, Tesla and Nvidia becoming available through its ecosystem.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Citigroup recently projected<\/a> that the tokenized securities market could reach $5.5 trillion by 2030.<\/p>\n Standard Chartered said those developments support the view that tokenized assets will increasingly rely on decentralized finance infrastructure as traditional financial institutions move more activity onchain.<\/p>\n At the time of publication, UNI traded at approximately $2.70, up about 9% over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n Related: ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author reveals bullish gold target<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by TheStreet<\/a> on Jun 15, 2026, where it first appeared in the Trading News & Analysis<\/a> section.
