Summary
01 Standard Chartered reportedly initiated Uniswap coverage with a $100 UNI target for 2030. 02 Its thesis ties tokenized assets to open DeFi liquidity, where Uniswap could capture more trading and fees. 03 But institutional tokenization is still often permissioned, and BUIDL shows DeFi rails can stay gated. The bank's thesis states that tokenized assets may eventually require DeFi venues to convert fragmented on-chain instruments into usable liquidity.
