V4’s 99% gas cost reduction for pool creation and flash accounting system make Uniswap more competitive against rival DEXs, yet UNI’s price hasn’t reflected this. Market feedback praises cost efficiencies, with X posts highlighting $300M volume on $6M TVL on Unichain, showcasing V4’s scalability. However, UNI dropped 0.61% to $13.43 post-launch, reflecting market ambivalence. The lack of immediate price impact stems from broader market trends, with Bitcoin’s $104K stagnation limiting altcoin momentum. While institutional investors may find V4 appealing for its low-cost architecture, UNI’s value hinges on sustained trading volume growth, which remains uncertain amid competitive DeFi pressures.
