Uniswap-related news may have supported the rise: reports about Uniswap and its partners challenging Illinois crypto tax rules appeared Oct 30, 19:32–Oct 31, 00:38 UTC. A newly announced fee-conversion product may also have helped, but it was reported the day before. The move’s onset is unknown. On October 30, 2026 (UTC), UNI went from about $6.47 to $7.14 (+10.40%) on OKX · USDT, trading between $6.26 and $7.19. UNI largely moved with the market. No UNI report was collected from the day before to the day after; the cause is unresolved.

Seven days later it was higher in 32 of 67 cases, with a median change of -0.30%.
