UNI Token Surges 9% Amid Geopolitical Tensions, Trading Volume Soars to 17.38 Million UNI

In the last 24 hours, Uniswap’s UNI/USDT experienced heightened volatility, with a notable price increase of 9.06% (current price: $7.549, 24h open: $6.922, according to Binance). This price movement follows a period of intense trading activity and market volatility, largely attributed to increased geopolitical tensions involving the Israel-Iran conflict, which triggered widespread liquidations across altcoins and amplified trading volumes (17.38 million UNI traded on June 13). Prior to this, UNI saw a sharp rally driven by renewed optimism in the DeFi sector, positive technical indicators, and regulatory sentiment, leading to a 26% surge on June 12, followed by profit-taking and a short-term correction. UNI remains one of the most actively traded DeFi tokens, with 24-hour trading volume reported between $328 million and $744 million and a market capitalization ranging from $4.39 billion to $4.49 billion, reflecting continued strong market participation and interest as of June 14, 2025.
