Key Takeaways
Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Uniswap on June 15 with a $100 price target for UNI by 2030, roughly a 40x gain from about $2.70.
The bank projects tokenized assets in DeFi growing about 37x to $2.7 trillion by 2030.
Since tokenized stocks launched on Uniswap in June 2026, more than $9.1 billion has swapped through its real-world-asset pools.
Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Uniswap on June 15 and set a $100 price target for its UNI token by the end of 2030, roughly a 40x gain from about $2.70 today, The Block reported. It is one of the most aggressive calls a major bank has made on a decentralized finance token.
Geoffrey Kendrick, the bank's global head of digital assets research, laid out a staged path: $6.50 by the end of 2026, $20 in 2027, $40 in 2028, $65 in 2029, and $100 in 2030. He expects UNI to outperform both Bitcoin and Ether over that stretch.
The thesis rests on tokenization. Standard Chartered expects tokenized assets on public blockchains to grow from about $340 billion today to $4 trillion by the end of 2028, and the share active in DeFi to rise from 3.5 percent to 30 percent by 2030. That would push total value locked across DeFi to roughly $2.7 trillion, a 37-fold increase, with Uniswap positioned as a core trading venue. Kendrick compared Uniswap to YouTube and Coinbase to Netflix, an open platform anyone can build liquidity on.
There is already activity behind the forecast. Cryptobriefing reported that since tokenized stocks launched on Uniswap in June 2026, more than $9.1 billion has been swapped through its real-world-asset pools across 2.6 million transactions.
The number worth sitting with is the size of the bet. The target implies a gain above 3,000 percent, and analysts are divided on whether tokenized finance scales that fast. What is harder to argue with is the direction. When a global bank starts framing a permissionless exchange as core market infrastructure, that says something about where the rails are heading.
