Analysts and forecasters have various views on Uniswap's price in 10 years. Some say that the price of Uniswap may increase to $100 in 2030, While others are much more hopeful predicting that Uniswap (UNI) could cross the $150 level in ten years.

What will Uniswap be worth in the next decade? This is the most fundamental question every long-time investor asks before they can buy UNI tokens.

The general feeling among current UNI investors and crypto industry experts is that Uniswap will be worth more than its current price, probably between $100 and $3000 in 10 years.

For instance, Coin Price Forecast, a prediction website that uses technical analysis, indicates that Uniswap UNI coin may reach $100 sometime after 2032.

Note that at the height of the first bullish crypto market run in 2021, Uniswap set an all-time high of $44.97. Its investors and crypto market analysts were rooting for it to reach $100 by the end of the year and stretch this value to $500 in the next five years.

But along came China’s ban on Bitcoins and Elon Musk’s incessant tweets castigating the legacy coin for its apparent role in global warming. Around the same time, rumours about the Biden administration’s plan to regulate crypto transfers emerged. And these saw Bitcoin lose half its value and the prices for the rest of the coins - UNI tokens included - nosedive.

The market had just recovered towards the end of the year, with cryptos reaching new highs, when it dropped again in December. Currently, all cryptos are trying to recover from the drop.

UNI token prices are currently trading around the $14 mark. It is ranked 23rd with a market capitalization of $8 Billion - according to Coinmarketcap.

This begs the question; how far up (or down) will Uniswap prices go in the next 10 years? What will be UNI token price in 2030 and 2032?

Let us look at what industry experts are saying.

Uniswap Price Predictions 2030-2032

Despite the sudden price drop, Uniswap investors and analysts are confident the altcoin will bounce back to life and embark on spirited growth moving forward. The general feeling is that Uniswap has an intrinsic value that cannot be taken away by crypto market swings. And that it will be way more valuable by the turn of the decade than it is today.

We looked at some UNI price prediction sites, and here are some of the industry player sentiments towards the future of the coin expressed in the price forecast.

Cryptocurrency Price Prediction is most optimistic about Uniswap’s recovery and future price action. It uses technical analysis to predict future digital asset prices, and their latest estimation indicates that Uniswap UNI token will reach $100 by February 2025, $200 by August 2025, $470 by January 2030, and be worth around $627.49 by December 2030.

Technical analysis by Digital Coin Price affirms everyone’s conviction that Uniswap prices will continue rising. But it isn’t as optimistic, seeing that it only expects UNI token price to reach $20.13 in 2023 and rise to $61 by the end of 2029.

They don’t have the 10-year UNI price projection but based on their estimated growth pattern for the altcoin for the next seven years, it is safe to assume it would around be $100.

What Are The Factors That Will Determine The Price Of Uniswap In 10 Years?

If you have been following Uniswap analyst and investor predictions for a while, you will note the confidence with which they talk about Uniswap’s recovery and growth.

But what makes them this optimistic about UNI token’s future? What are some of the metrics that they rely on to assess Uniswap’s future price action?

Here are the top four factors that the crypto community believes will continue influencing Uniswap prices for the next 10 years.

Protocol upgrades:

UNI tokens have only lived through one protocol upgrade - the Uniswap V3 launch. But even this was enough to paint a clear picture of the impact that a protocol upgrade may have on the token prices. Here is the lesson. Despite more than four months of a sustained uptrend, the altcoin had a rough time breaking above $40.

However, three days before the UNI V3 launch, the token prices tore this support level and went ahead to reach $44.97 (the current ATH) on the day of the protocol upgrade. There is no telling how far up the next protocol upgrade will push UNI token prices.

Ethereum prices:

Uniswap and Ethereum prices are tied at the hip. Not only is Uniswap DEX and DeFi protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain, but the largest liquidity pools on Uniswap are ETH denominated. Therefore, a hit to the Ethereum blockchain or the ETH prices will have a direct and proportional impact on the price of UNI tokens. For instance, when the GAS fees for ETH blockchain rise, Uniswap loses would-be investors as they turn to DeFi alternatives on the more affordable Binance Smart Chain.

FOMO:

The biggest selling point for Uniswap’s DeFi protocol is the promise of double income. It lets you lock your digital assets in one of its liquidity pools that earn you interest on investment by letting you share the fees and commissions earned by this pool. The double income herein refers to earned interest and value appreciation for your digital currencies.

In the past few months, there has been a lot of chatter about DeFi turning into a crypto revolution and the DeFi tokens exploding in usage and value. Mark Cuban even compared it to the early days of the internet.

The message has triggered a massive FOMO (fear of missing out) among individuals and institutional investors looking to double their crypto earnings. Moving forward, one can only expect this FOMO to intensify, especially as the liquidity locked in the DeFi ecosystem nears $100 Billion. This will effectively send Uniswap token prices skyrocketing.

Regulation and government interference:

Uniswap and its governance token are fully decentralized, making it hard for authorities like the SEC to target it. Additionally, and unlike Bitcoin or Ripple or Litecoin, UNI tokens aren’t in direct competition with the fiat currency. But this doesn’t mean that regulations aimed at taming Bitcoin influence won’t affect it and the UNI token prices.

First, UNI has a relatively high price correlation with Bitcoin prices - at 0.9% for the last 30 days - according to on-chain metrics from Into The Block.

Secondly, given the role that FUD plays in crypto pricing, any attempt to regulate Bitcoin will always send massive panic waves and threaten to cripple the industry. And you only have to look at the impact China’s ban on Bitcoins had on the Industry less than two weeks ago to understand the effect that regulation would have on the value of UNI tokens.

Will Uniswap Ever Reach $1000?

Crypto analysts and investors can’t agree on whether the prediction that Uniswap UNI will reach $1000 is logical. There is a consensus the altcoin will reach $100 soon and possibly $500 over the long term. But there are several analysts and investors who feel like reaching $1000 in the foreseeable future will be an uphill task.

The proponents believe that the altcoin’s intrinsic value, the much-anticipated DeFi explosion, massive adoption of the Ethereum blockchain, and favourable crypto market conditions will be enough to help UNI tokens reach $1000.

The opponents, on the other hand, argue that with a total supply of 1 billion UNI coins, the decentralized exchange would need to accumulate a market capitalization of over $1 Trillion dollars to get here. This is more than Indonesia’s GDP and as much as the current market cap of BTC and ETH combined. When you also factor in competition and possible future regulations, Uniswap’s race to $1000 suddenly seems unwinnable.

Conclusion

The crypto industry players are in an unspoken consensus that Uniswap will be much more valuable a decade from now. And price predictions for the Uniswap token 10 years down the line currently range from $100 to $2800.

The achievability of this is, however, pegged on the sustainability of the status quo when it comes to crypto industry regulation, a healthy Ethereum blockchain network, and regular Uniswap protocol upgrades.

These estimates say that it is a real possibility for you to earn handsomely 10 years from now if you buy and hold UNI tokens. We must, however, warn that the crypto industry is a highly volatile and unpredictable market. Take caution when it comes to crypto markets and to never invest more than you are willing to lose.
