Uniswap (UNI) price trades above $7.8 and gains over 6% at the time of writing on Thursday, reflecting optimism as on-chain metrics indicate strong performance. Token Terminal data shows UNI has outpaced other decentralized exchanges (DEX) platforms in daily active users, fee collection, and trading volume over the past three months. Furthermore, the Santiment’s Supply on Exchanges metric has constantly declined since August, suggesting increasing confidence among investors and a potential rally ahead.

Uniswap outperforms most DEX exchanges

The crypto aggregator platform Token Terminal data shows how Uniswap has outperformed most decentralized exchanges over the last three months. 

Uniswap’s daily active users help track network activity over time and align with the bullish outlook. The graph below shows that the daily active users on the Uniswap platform are 799,900, the highest daily users compared to the top 20 projects in the DEX sector. This indicates that demand for UNI’s platform usage is increasing, which could propel a rally in Uniswap price.

Additionally, Uniswap’s fee collection surpasses that of other platforms in the DEX sector. In the past three months, UNI has collected over $399 million in fees, further bolstering the bullish outlook for UNI’s price.

Another aspect bolstering the platform’s bullish outlook is a surge in traders’ interest and liquidity in the UNI chain. UNI’s 180-day trading volume is $309.85 billion, the highest compared to the top 20 projects in DEX sectors.

Lastly, the Santiment Supply on Exchanges metric declined from 76.74 million on September 28 to 75.58 million on Thursday and has constantly declined since August. This 1.5% decline in supply on exchanges indicates increasing confidence among investors as holders remove UNI tokens from exchanges and store them in cold wallets, reducing selling pressure on UNI’s price.
