Attractiveness of UNI tokens

Typically, UNI does not rank as one of the digital currencies favored by whales, in part due to its core utility status. However, as the native asset of the largest DEX in the digital currency ecosystem, UNI still has its inherent attractiveness.

UNI remains a legacy token, and given the fact that the associated trading platform is often positively tilted toward embracing innovation, the chances that interest in the asset will keep growing over time are notably high.

The UNI price also has the propensity to grow in the near to long term with its largely underperforming price. At the time of writing, UNI is changing hands at $5.30, a price point 88% below the $44.97 it printed as its all-time high (ATH) more than two years ago. With the great upside for growth, UNI may continually see more whale accumulations in the near future.

Enjoying Ethereum sentiment

UNI is the de facto decentralized exchange on the Ethereum protocol. While Ethereum will continually enjoy the benefits of being the pioneering smart contract network, , so too will Uniswap continually enjoy the benefits of being the pioneering DEX protocol in the space.
