What the numbers say
UNI scores 167 of 250 across the 25-variable framework, which places it 9th of 251 rated tokens and inside the top 5% of the set. The framework verdict is HOLD.
UNI is a top-10 name in the set on 4 variables. The score rests on Active Users 8/10, 1st of 251, Developer Activity 8/10, 1st of 251, Regulatory Safety 9/10, 2nd of 251 and Catalyst Calendar 8/10, 3rd of 251.
Against the same universe, UNI sits in the bottom third on P/S Multiple 3/10, 182nd of 251. These are the variables that would have to move for the verdict to change.
Only 62.5% of UNI's maximum supply is in circulation, so 1.6x the current float is still scheduled to arrive. Holding price per token flat while the rest enters circulation implies 37.5% of the fully diluted value sitting ahead of today's holders. That is a real but manageable overhang.
UNI trades 90.8% below its all-time high of $44.92. Recovering that level is a 10.9x move, not a 90.8% one, which is the arithmetic most drawdown charts hide.
$2.77B sits in the protocol. The token is capitalised below the value locked in the protocol.
25-variable breakdown
Each variable is scored 1 to 10 and ranked against every other rated token, so a 7 that ranks 20th means something different from a 7 that ranks 180th. The rank is the part that is hard to get anywhere else.
