Uniswap TVL on Robinhood Chain Doubles to $100 Million as Traders Hold Bullish UNI Positions

Uniswap's total value locked (TVL) on Robinhood Chain recently reached $100 million, following a monthly increase of 100%. The milestone came as market bulls gained the upper hand across $UNI derivatives. TVL measures the aggregate capital deposited in a protocol's smart contracts and is a standard gauge of adoption for decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, which operate on-chain without traditional intermediaries. Uniswap itself remains one of the largest decentralized exchanges by trading volume, routing swaps through automated market maker (AMM) pools rather than centralized order books.

The uptick pointed to emerging liquidity within Uniswap's presence on the developing network. Robinhood unveiled the chain — an Ethereum Layer-2 built on Arbitrum's Orbit stack and intended to support trading of tokenized assets — in late June 2025. Capital, initially limited, gradually picked up speed toward the end of June and during July. In August, TVL surged past $100 million as liquidity inflows into the protocol continued.

The expansion bolstered $UNI's already solid fundamentals, even though its market structure remained less robust. The elevated TVL also indicated that more capital was staked on Uniswap via Robinhood Chain. Notably, the hike was not merely a one-session bump but an ongoing monthly increase, widening Uniswap's liquidity base and providing more support for overall network activity.

Top traders keep leaning heavily bullish

Although $UNI fell from its early-August levels, bullish derivatives positions were still high at press time. Binance's top traders — the exchange's leading accounts ranked by margin balance, the cohort tracked in its Long/Short Ratio metric — held 71.2% long positions and 28.8% short positions, pushing the Long/Short Ratio to 2.47 — making bullish trades more than twice the size of bearish trades.

This positioning suggested that the biggest traders had stayed long on the price action despite its downtrend. $UNI has already dropped sharply from above $4.40 and bottomed out around the lower $3 area, yet top traders continued to favor longs rather than aggressively shifting toward bearish exposure. Their positioning has also added to Uniswap's liquidity on Robinhood Chain.

Taker buyers reinforce UNI's demand

Spot activity offered additional support, with the 90-day Spot Taker CVD taker-buy dominant. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) aggregates the gap between aggressive market-buy volume and market-sell volume, making it a gauge of which side is executing orders more forcefully. Buyers therefore continued to execute more aggressive market orders than sellers across the measured period.

Buyer dominance persisted even as $UNI saw substantial price weakness during August — a divergence suggesting that aggressive demand had not disappeared alongside the broader correction. The CVD reading also complemented Binance traders' 71.2% long positioning from a separate market perspective. Together, both metrics highlighted sustained appetite for $UNI despite its weakened technical structure.

Meanwhile, Uniswap's 100% Robinhood Chain TVL growth strengthened the fundamental side of that demand equation. While buyers had multiple supportive factors, the price had yet to reflect their combined strength.

Can $3.183 anchor UNI's next recovery?

At the time of writing, Uniswap ($UNI) was trading near $3.266 after sellers drove the price under the important $3.489 level. However, the token did not break below its $3.183 support, maintaining an immediate base for a recovery attempt.

The RSI fell to 35.88, placing the indicator much closer to oversold territory than neutral conditions. Its average reached 45.50, confirming that recent selling had considerably weakened $UNI's underlying price strength.

A sustained hold of $3.183 could allow improving demand conditions to challenge $3.489 again. Reclaiming that barrier would help strengthen the recovery and establish a line to the higher $4.000 resistance. On the other hand, a breakdown of $3.183 would open up the $2.780 support, limiting the bullish fundamental setup. $UNI's immediate structure therefore depends heavily on buyers holding up at the $3.183 price level.

Summary

Uniswap's 100% TVL growth and taker buying have strengthened $UNI's underlying demand picture. $UNI needs to defend $3.183 before buyers can challenge $3.489 and $4.
