At the same time, the accumulated trading volume reached 110 billion USD, demonstrating the impressive growth of the platform.

Notably, over 2,500 "Hooks" – custom liquidity pool mechanisms – have been deployed, providing greater flexibility and control for users.

The two projects Bunni and EulerSwap lead in trading volume, with each project exceeding the 1 billion USD mark. Among them, Bunni stands out with automatic reinvestment features and multi-chain support via the Ethereum - Polkadot bridge. Although EulerSwap has not recorded a significant increase in TVL, it still demonstrates its attractiveness due to high trading volume, reflecting a distinct liquidity usage strategy.

The total daily trading volume of Uniswap v4 currently reaches 640.9 million USD, with over 67% coming from Layer 2 networks – indicating a trend of expansion beyond the Ethereum mainnet. Data from DeFiLlama shows that the 24-hour trading volume has slightly decreased by 6.89%, down to 357.13 million USD, while the total swap fees earned reached 43.1 million USD.

Analysts believe that the smart liquidity tools on v4 not only enhance capital efficiency but also help mitigate risks for liquidity providers. As a result, UNI is being assessed as a highly promising asset for long-term investment. If the growth momentum is maintained, the price of $15 could very well be within reach.
