The Uniswap V4 launch introduces hooks, singleton architecture, and gas savings, aiming to enhance customization and efficiency. Market feedback is mixed: while trading volume and fees have risen, UNI’s price has dropped to $5.80 as of March 2025, reflecting broader market pressure. TVL for V4 ($85M) and Unichain ($8.2M) remains low, prompting a $165.5M funding proposal to boost adoption. Hooks enable innovative AMM designs, but complexity may deter users. Despite long-term potential, short-term sentiment is bearish, with UNI struggling against resistance levels like $14.
