Uniswap is again in the spotlight—but this time, it’s not only about innovation; it’s also about performance. One of the most popular decentralized exchanges in the world of crypto is back to proving its dominance, by not only racking up user activity but also by being profitable. Uniswap v4 is gaining traction on Arbitrum, whales are returning to the action with floating profits, and Uniswap’s overall resurgence is an appealing narrative for growth and renewed investor confidence. One exceptional example of this mounting momentum is that of a shrewd whale investor who has held the Uniswap (UNI) token since 2020. This investor is presently raking in the rewards from a smart purchase made three years ago. Meanwhile, another development that could very well bolster Uniswap’s position in DeFi, the recent deployment of Uniswap v4 on Arbitrum, has achieved some level of success in a very short period of time. Quite a lot has been happening with Uniswap. Its reputation as one of the cornerstones of decentralized finance remains intact. Whale Reaps Nearly $1 Million in Floating Profits A prominent crypto whale who got his start accumulating UNI tokens back in September 2020 is making waves again. This investor, known for holding assets through thick and thin (exactly what “diamond hands” means), has now seen profits ripple up to around $994,000. He began amassing the UNI tokens when they were valued at $5.99. As of now, the market price hovers just above $7.47. It seems that the valor and wisdom of this whale in going long are paying off handsomely.

That is a figure—calculated by @wojaknft—that most investors would be pleased to show their mothers. This case illustrates the kinds of rewards that can accrue from an investor truly understanding market cycles and the potential of protocols. While many traders skedaddle early or follow the kind of hype-driven, at-the-moment trends that usually die down shortly after they peak, this investor has shown that positioning consistently in a relatively new asset like UNI can pay off handsomely if you understand what you’re holding and why. Uniswap v4 on Arbitrum: Adoption Accelerates Uniswap v4 on Arbitrum is now not far short of four months since its launch, and it is gaining significant traction. The protocol has pulled together a total of 1,823 liquidity pools, 427 of which are what the developers now call “hooked pools”—those custom pools that integrate additional logic or functionality. And yes, there is now enough enthusiastic development activity around Uniswap v4’s modular design for 182 individual hooks to be listed as deployed. Less than 4 months since @Uniswap v4 launched on Arbitrum: 1,823 pools 427 hooked pools 182 hooks deployed Uniswap is cooking pic.twitter.com/nRQGkNNpko — Entropy Advisors (@EntropyAdvisors) May 28, 2025 Among its most innovative features, Uniswap v4 introduced “hooks,” allowing developers to create custom liquidity pool behavior. Uniswap v4’s hooks are now enabling a sharp uptick in experimentation and new decentralized trading strategies that the protocol’s developers believe will soon be visible on Arbitrum’s lower-fee, faster-execution Layer 2 network. Uniswap v4’s success on Arbitrum is part of a much broader trend. DeFi apps are leaving the high gas fees on Ethereum’s mainnet behind and are migrating toward Layer 2 solutions. Arbitrum, the best Layer 2 alternative to Ethereum, offers a scalable, cost-efficient environment in which to build DeFi primitives. And Uniswap is, by far, the leading DeFi app on that platform. A Protocol That Keeps on Cooking From record-breaking profits for whale investors to a tidal wave of developer energy on Arbitrum, Uniswap is showing that it’s not some kind of legacy protocol coasting on past glories. Instead, it’s changing, growing, and energizing as ever. The return of significant investors and the increasing value of the UNI token suggest that confidence in the protocol’s future is growing. At the same time, the launch and rapid expansion of Uniswap v4 on Arbitrum demonstrate that the team and ecosystem remain at the cutting edge of DeFi innovation. Investors and smart investor behavior, coupled with state-of-the-art technology, might very well be setting Uniswap up for a fantastic next chapter. While other protocols compete in the DeFi space, Uniswap not only occupies a premier position but, in its way, also demonstrates leadership. Uniswap is building with intention, attracting serious venture capital, and providing a platform where developers can experiment and offer what we should think of as the future of finance. In a quickly changing market, few projects keep their relevance intact while also pushing the limits. Uniswap, it appears, does both. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.
