Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick said he would encourage investors to re-engage with Uniswap, noting the DEX has never had exploits. He retains a $100 UNI price target for 2030, suggesting the hack could make that forecast too low, building on the bank's thesis of $2.7 trillion in DeFi assets by 2030. CoinGecko data shows the top 10 spot DEX-to-CEX ratio rose to 23.5% in Q2 2026, up 2.1 points. Markets fell after the breach: BNB dropped over 8%, Bitcoin traded near $77,000, AAVE fell 11.3% to $118.54 and UNI dropped 10.4% to $6.48. Kendrick expects near-term weakness until assets are unfrozen.
