Uniswap V4, the updated version of the well-known decentralized exchange, has already captured 31% of the tokenized stocks market, reaching a total value locked (TVL) of $59.1 million. As of September 6, this segment is growing amid interest in decentralized finance, which has shown increased liquidity. Competitor Kamino Lend holds the second position with $41.7 million, while Uniswap V3 trails behind with $20.9 million. Together, these three platforms account for approximately 63% of the total tokenized stocks volume, estimated at $192.6 million.
According to Token Terminal, the liquidity flow to the Uniswap V4 platform is quite significant, making it attractive for greater trading activity and investor participation. Data shows that as liquidity increases, the platform's yield also rises. Uniswap V4 is already generating over $10 million in daily fees, with its daily revenue reaching around $600,000, corresponding to an annual rate of approximately $220 million. As a result, Uniswap plans to implement a token burning mechanism for UNI tokens, which will reduce their supply in the market and support their price growth.
It's also worth noting that new active users, including the well-known co-founder of BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, have acquired 244,406 UNI worth $1.73 million through the Flowdesk partnership program. This indicates a growing interest among large holders in UNI tokens as part of the liquidity expansion of Uniswap V4. Additionally, new wallets have added another $2.9 million, while the number of UNI tokens on exchanges has decreased by more than 350,000. All these factors demonstrate that liquidity outside of exchanges is becoming increasingly scarce, positively impacting the price pressure for UNI tokens.
