Uniswap Announces $3M Grant in Q2 2024 Financial Report

by

As an analyst with over a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I find myself intrigued by Uniswap’s latest financial health summary and price actions. The $3 million grant for new projects is indeed a significant step towards fostering innovation on the platform. However, it’s the cash reserves of $36.81 million that catches my attention, as it indicates a strong financial foundation for the organization.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Uniswap Foundation shared an overview of their financial status, detailing a plan to allocate $3 million in grants for fresh projects within their platform. This announcement was made in a blog post published on Wednesday, August 7th.

Additionally, the Uniswap Foundation disclosed that they had a combined balance of approximately $36.81 million in cash and stablecoins, along with 680,000 UNI tokens. They further clarified their intentions to utilize these funds: the cash and stablecoins for providing future grants, while the UNI tokens are earmarked for employee rewards.

The Foundation indicated that these funds would support their continued operations until the end of 2025. Additionally, they have earmarked $26.12 million for grant distributions and an additional $10.69 million for various operational costs.

In the second quarter alone, the Uniswap Foundation allocated over $3.2 million in fresh grant funds while also distributing $2.5 million from previously pledged grants. By the end of June, the organization’s total grant commitments for the year amounted to $7.55 million, with $5.27 million already disbursed.

Uniswap Price Actions

Uniswap’s price has surged to around $6.0, boosted by the overall market rebound, and it has gained over 5% in the past day. However, after reaching a high of $13 in early April, the altcoin has been on a steady decline since then.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that the recent market turmoil on Monday added to the selling pressure on Uniswap. The bearish crossover between the 20-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) dipping below the 200-day EMA suggests a downward trend for Uniswap. Interestingly, the VPVR indicator indicates that the price action is taking place in a zone with lower liquidity, which could potentially amplify the volatility.

According to information directly recorded on the blockchain, the UNI token is expected to exhibit more price fluctuations. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has persisted in its downward trend after a bearish intersection below the equilibrium point. Investors might want to hold off on buying until there’s a bullish intersection of these lines, which would suggest a decrease in immediate selling pressure.

1. In summary, CoinGlass data reveals a drop in open interest and favorable funding rates for sellers. This decrease in open interest, along with increased trading volume, suggests that numerous traders are exiting their positions due to market turbulence and profit-taking. Interestingly, even amidst the broader market downtrend, long/short ratios on Binance and OKX show a robust bullish sentiment among experienced traders.
