The Grayscale fund is very influential and if they are selling many in the industry take note.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there is regulatory uncertainty re: securities regulation. The UNI token\u2019s existence is questionable, <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Uniswap Holders Accuse DeFi Education Fund Of Insider Trading\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/uniswap-holders-accuse-defi-education-fund-of-insider-trading\/\" rel=\"noopener\">especially considering how unfair the governance process is on the DeFi protocol.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there is some upside to Uniswap. Mainly, UNI should see a huge bump when Ethereum moves to Proof-of-Stake. Being the token of the flagship DeFi protocol on Ethereum, there is a definite upside to owning some, especially if the cheaper gas fees lead to an onslaught of new users and increased volume from existing ones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-beta monsterinsights-popular-posts-styled\">\n<div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-image\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/apparently-alex-mashinsky-is-on-the-run\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-34-300x166.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-34-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-34-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-34-610x337.png 610w, https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-design-34.png 696w\" alt=\"Apparently, Alex Mashinsky Is On The Run\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-text\"><span class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-label\">Trending<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-post\"><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-title\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptosrus.com\/apparently-alex-mashinsky-is-on-the-run\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Apparently, Alex Mashinsky Is On The Run<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The UNI token is currently up over 30% in the last 24 hours.
