V4’s singleton architecture and flash accounting have reduced gas costs significantly, making pool creation 99.99% cheaper and multi-hop swaps more efficient. Market feedback from developers is positive, as these features attract institutional interest and enable sophisticated trading via hooks (e.g., TWAMM for large orders). Despite this, UNI’s price has remained volatile, trading at $4.59–$5.80 in April 2025, down 0.68% daily, reflecting a bearish crypto market. The lack of a fee switch to directly benefit UNI holders limits short-term value accrual. Long-term, V4’s $550M TVL and 20–30% share of Uniswap’s trading volume suggest growing adoption that could eventually lift UNI.
