Uniswap Burned Record 184,000 UNI: Most of Volume Came from Robinhood Chain

• Uniswap burned more than $1 million worth of UNI in a single day for the first time.
• Robinhood Chain became the main driver behind the record burn.
• DEX activity on the network on the burn day exceeded $1.72 billion.

On September 4, 2026, decentralized exchange Uniswap burned UNI tokens worth more than $1 million in a single day for the first time — the total value of destroyed assets reached about $1.15 million. According to data from Dune, 184,000 UNI were burned over the day, with 150,000 UNI coming from activity on Robinhood Chain, marking one of the highest daily figures in the protocol’s history.

In dollar terms, the breakdown of tokens burned on September 4 looked like this:

• Robinhood Chain — 150,000 UNI worth $939,911
• Ethereum — 16,000 UNI worth $100,257
• Base — 10,000 UNI worth $62,661
• BNB Chain — 4,000 UNI worth $25,064
• Arbitrum — 4,000 UNI worth $25,064
• Total — 184,000 UNI worth $1.153 million

As a result, Robinhood Chain accounted for more than 80% of all UNI burned that day. The 184,000-token figure became the second-largest daily burn in UNI’s history.

Robinhood Chain Drove a Surge in Activity

The record burn came amid a sharp increase in trading activity on Robinhood Chain. According to data from DeFiLlama, on September 4, daily DEX trading volume on the network exceeded $1.72 billion, and as of September 6, it had fallen to about $1.37 billion.

At the same time, about 80% of DEX volume came from Uniswap. This high concentration of trading on the platform became one of the key factors behind higher fees and, accordingly, the amount of UNI that was ultimately burned. Recent reports about the record also link the burn spike directly to the rise in DEX activity on Robinhood Chain.

Network activity began to surge sharply in late August. On August 30, DEX volume on Robinhood Chain впервые topped $1 billion, reaching about $1.317 billion, and on September 1 it surpassed $1.55 billion. The bulk of the activity was driven by memecoins and tokenized real-world assets.

Recall that the burn spike occurred after UNI posted a notable gain in the crypto market. Over the previous week, the token added nearly 20% and ranked among the top performers by momentum among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies. At that time, the value of burned UNI exceeded $300,000.

As of publication, UNI is trading at around $7.07, according to TradingView.
