BLOCKINSIDERLoadingGrowing adoption of tokenized RWA could push Uniswap price to $100 by 2030, a major bank claims.
Amid the growing adoption of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) in DeFi, the banking giant Standard Chartered has made a bold forecast that this sector could grow to $2.7 trillion by 2030, reflecting 37x from today's low base.
In fact, the bank picked Uniswap, a decentralized exchange, as a key beneficiary of RWA adoption, as it provides trading infrastructure for tokenized markets simply by migrating Wall Street to on-chain.
As per the report, only 3.5% of the tokenized assets are currently being utilized within DeFi, but by 2030, it could grow to 30%, says Standard Chartered's global head of digital assets, Geoff Kendrick. The Kendrick also noted, "the next opportunity for generational wealth in digital assets is going to come via the DeFi protocols."
Meanwhile, the bank's Global Head of Digital Assets also predicted that Uniswap's native token, UNI, could surge nearly 40x from its current level of $3.02 to $100 by 2030, driven by the growing adoption of tokenized RWA. He further predicted that UNI could reach $6.50 by the end of 2026, followed by $20 in 2027, $40 in 2028, and $65 in 2029, and $100 in 2030.
Kendrick also believes that UNI’s projected gain could outpace both major assets, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), in terms of price appreciation over the period.
Following this prediction and broader market recovery, UNI surged 13.50% and was trading at $3.02 at press time. Meanwhile, market participants have shown a remarkable interest in the asset, as its trading volume jumped by 260% to $361 million. Rising volume alongside price suggests that traders and investors are actively supporting UNI's current trend.
With today’s gain, UNI extended its bullish streak for the sixth consecutive day and is now approaching a key resistance level of $3.05. A level that acted as a key floor between February and May 2026.
However, UNI's broader market sentiment appears to be bearish, as sellers are in control. This is evident from the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which remains above the UNI price, signaling that the long-term trend is under pressure.
Based on the current price action, if UNI’s current momentum persists and if it breaks and reclaims the key support of the $3.05, it could experience a massive rally. The chart suggests that, in such a scenario, the asset could see a price uptick of over 32% and may reach the $4.10 level.
However, if the UNI price fails to break the $3.05 level and instead forms a bearish candlestick pattern, it could see strong selling pressure and a sharp fall.
As of now, UNI has a strong directional trend, as its Average Directional Index (ADX) has risen to 37.30, above the key threshold of 25.
In fact, a well-followed crypto analyst shared the same view on X. In a post, the analyst noted that UNI is approaching a major confluence zone, where the long-term descending trendline meets strong horizontal resistance.
The expert further noted that a breakout from this area could open the door for a significant bullish move, potentially offering a 2x rally in the coming days.
Despite the bullish outlooks, the on-chain data continues to flash a bearish signal. DeFiLlama data shows that since the beginning of 2026, Uniswap’s total value locked (TVL) on the network has fallen significantly from $4.012 billion to $2.887 billion, while DEX volume also declined from $974.6 million to $604.50 million, indicating a slowdown in on-chain activity and reduced capital participation across the protocol.
This suggests that despite the recent optimism, user engagement and liquidity deployment remain under pressure.
