Uniswap Votes on Fee Distribution, Announces Financial Transparency Efforts

Uniswap, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX), is pushing forward with a proposal to establish a new fee collection and distribution system. This move coincides with the release of the Uniswap Foundation’s Q1 2024 financials, demonstrating their commitment to transparency.

Financial Disclosure and Grant Activity

The Uniswap Foundation revealed holdings of $41.41 million in fiat and stablecoins, along with 730,000 UNI tokens ($8.2 million as of today, May 27, 2024). In Q1, the Foundation granted $2.79 million and committed an additional $4.34 million to future grants, supporting the DeFi ecosystem.

Proposed Fee Distribution System

Uniswap is proposing a system for automatically capturing and distributing fees generated by Uniswap v3 pools. If approved by May 31st, this will mark a significant step towards decentralized governance for Uniswap.

UNI token holders who stake or delegate their tokens will benefit from the new fee structure, incentivizing active participation in the Uniswap ecosystem.

Uniswap vs. SEC: Wells’ Notice

Despite the recent SEC notice alleging unregistered securities activities, Uniswap Labs is pushing ahead with the fee proposal. Uniswap Labs maintains that the SEC lacks jurisdiction over their decentralized protocol under current regulations.

This vote comes as the U.S. Congress considers the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act, potentially impacting crypto regulation by the SEC and CFTC.

UNI/USD Technical Analysis

UNI price has recently broken above $10 and shows potential for further gains. Technical indicators suggest some consolidation but overall bullish momentum.

Key resistance levels sit at $11.50, $11.75, and $12.20. Support is present at $11.05, $10.50, and $10.25.
