Uniswap token escapes consolidation zone with a chance to ride up to $8.0

• Uniswap’s token has gained by 12% in 24 hours

• The protocol’s liquidity providers faced a phishing attack on Monday

• Uniswap has now escaped the consolidation zone and eyes higher levels

Uniswap’s UNI/USD has risen by 12 % in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. The gains come amid slight recoveries in crypto after inflation data stoked markets. We believe Uniswap has a long way to recover. However, the latest gains will be sustained in the next few days.

The gains in Uniswap come amid a suspected phishing attack on its v3 protocol liquidity providers. The attack, which occurred on Monday, led to the loss of around $4.7 million ETH tokens. ERC20 tokens and NFTs were also stolen in the sophisticated attack. Uniswap crashed by almost 10% following the attack. Uniswap’s development team clarified that the phishing attack was not caused by an error in the protocol.
