Fact Check
The claim is directly confirmed by The Block's primary reporting, which states Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Uniswap with a $100 UNI price target by end-2030, tied to projected growth in tokenized/DeFi assets and expanding liquidity. crypto.news and Cryptobriefing report identical figures (40x from ~$2.70, $4T tokenized assets by 2028, DeFi share 30%, staged targets through 2030), and Decrypt independently corroborates the ~40x by 2030 forecast. All details in the claim—the bank, the token, the $100/2030 target, and the DeFi/tokenized-asset and liquidity-pool rationale—align with the sources.
Summary

UNI climbed more than 20% on June 17 after Standard Chartered initiated coverage on Uniswap and said the token could rise from about $2.70 at the report's release to $100 by the end of 2030. The bank tied its forecast to expected growth in DeFi tokenized assets and larger tradable liquidity pools, while renewed demand was also linked to Uniswap’s tokenized-stock launch. Onchain Lens separately said Garret Jin, described as an agent for a "BTC OG insider whale," added a 366,423 UNI 2x long position and was still increasing it, adding to the bullish backdrop.
