Uniswap's Price Surge May Come Crashing Down on October 19

Uniswap's recent surge has seen it become the top-performing cryptocurrency in 2026, but can its lead over Ethereum hold until October 19?

The SEC granted a five-year exemption to permit select venues to trade tokenized U.S. stocks on public blockchains, which led to Uniswap's permissioned pools being exempt.

This sparked an approximate 19% increase in UNI's value the following day and ultimately contributed to its price rising by over 75% within three weeks.

However, a similar pattern has emerged with previous futures listings from CME, which saw Cardano drop by 35% and Chainlink fall by 38% before their contracts began trading on February 9.
