How far did UNI move between two readings?
Enter a starting and an ending UNI price to see the percentage change, for example two CoinGecko 00:00 UTC readings from the article.
| Starting UNI price | Ending UNI price | Change from starting to ending price |
|---|---|---|
| 6.85 USD | 6.68 USD | -2.5 % |
| 5.23 USD | 6.85 USD | 31 % |
| 6.85 USD | 10.22 USD | 49.2 % |
| 10.22 USD | 6.68 USD | -34.6 % |
- The worked examples use the article's CoinGecko daily readings at 00:00 UTC: 1 September ($5.23), 8 September ($6.85), 23 September ($10.22) and 25 October ($6.68).
- A positive result is a rise from the starting price; a negative result is a fall.
This is arithmetic on the two prices you enter: it does not fetch prices, shows nothing about moves inside a day, and says nothing about where UNI goes next.
Background: the fee switch and the 100 million UNI burn
The protocol's governance passed the "UNIfication" proposal in December 2025. The Block reported on 25 December 2025:
- Vote result: 99.9% in favour, more than 125 million UNI for and 742 against.
- Protocol fees: the "fee switch" now sends part of trading fees, previously paid entirely to liquidity providers, to the protocol. Those fees fund continuous UNI burns.
- Sequencer fees: net sequencer fees from the project's own chain feed the same burn.
- One-off burn: 100 million UNI from the treasury, executed after a two-day timelock. The proposal described it as an estimate of what might have been burned had fees been active since the token launched.
Supply
As of 25 October 2026, CoinGecko lists:
| Measure | UNI |
|---|---|
| Circulating supply | about 624.5 million |
| Total supply | about 886.8 million |
| Maximum supply | 1 billion |
The gap between the 1 billion maximum and the roughly 886.8 million total supply is consistent with burned tokens. CoinGecko does not label it that way.
How to read a week like this
- Weekly percentages depend on the reference time. UNI moved more than 6% within single days during this period, so a 00:00 UTC reading and an afternoon snapshot can give different weekly changes for the same week.
- Funding rates on perpetual contracts show positioning, not direction. A positive rate means holders of long positions pay holders of short positions, so demand for leveraged longs is higher. It does not predict where the price goes next.
- Aggregator figures differ. Daily prices from different data providers rarely match exactly, so compare at least two before relying on a single number.
