Uniswap just hit a new daily burn record. On September 4, 2026, the decentralized exchange torched 184,000 UNI—worth about $1.15 million—in a single day. That’s the first time daily UNI burns have topped the $1 million mark. Most of the action came from Robinhood Chain, which accounted for 150,000 UNI of the total burned.

What Happened

In just 24 hours, burn addresses received 184,000 UNI tokens. The dollar value of that daily burn was roughly $1.15 million. Out of the total, 150,000 UNI were tied to transactions on Robinhood Chain.

Why It Matters

This is Uniswap’s biggest single-day burn ever, and the first time daily burns have crossed the $1 million line. The heavy flow from Robinhood Chain highlights just how much that network is driving current burn activity. Burning tokens means sending them to dead addresses—wallets with no private key access—so they’re gone from circulation for good.
