Bullish
Activatin di Uniswap fee switch an burnin 10% of UNI supply dey create strong on-chain value accrual an deflationary mekanism, we don already cause 40% price surge as response to di proposal. Redirectin some part of Unichain sequencer fees go ongoing burns fit keep di bullish momentum, especially if governance approval clear legal an community obstacles. Short term, di upcoming vote an early burn rates go likely cause high price volatility as traders position demself around potential supply shocks. Medium term, consistent deflation an revenue capture fit support revaluation of UNI to di $15–$75 range, dependin on DEX volume an Unichain adoption. Long term, successful Unichain growth or spin-off fit cement UNI status as core Web3 asset, but failure to increase volume fit limit gains an shift e role to stable DeFi instrument.
