The Uniswap Foundation disclosed $85.8 million in year-end assets and said it has committed $26 million in grants during 2025 to support DeFi protocol development. CoinDesk, citing unaudited financials, reported that the foundation’s runway extends through January 2027.
Those figures put fresh attention on spending across DeFi infrastructure. The report also said the “UNIfication” governance overhaul passed in late December, changing how value is distributed across the protocol. Data cited from The Block showed total DeFi TVL across chains at $94.2 billion, with Aave at $13.2 billion and Curve at $8.7 billion.
Foundation balance sheet and sector TVL draw focus
The article framed the disclosure around two points: the scale of the foundation’s assets and grant commitments, and the fact that DeFi capital locked on-chain remains sizable. In that reading, institutional support for core DeFi infrastructure has not disappeared.
It then shifted to project fundraising and exchange-related narratives. The piece said Pepeto’s presale had brought in more than $8.69 million, with the token priced at $0.000000186. It also stated that a Binance listing had been confirmed and that millions of tokens were locked in staking offering 189% APY.
LINK and ADA levels were also cited in the report
Alongside the Uniswap Foundation disclosure, the source listed price levels for other tokens. According to CoinMarketCap data cited in the article, LINK traded at $9.01 on April 1. A move through resistance would put $10 as the first target and $14 as the extended target, while rejection at resistance would leave the token range-bound.
For Cardano, the report said ADA traded at $0.24 after falling ahead of the Protocol 11 hard fork expected in April. The level to watch was $0.27; a break above it could open room toward $0.35 and $0.41. The same article also said Cardano’s DeFi TVL remained low and on-chain activity was weak.
The source tied these points together by placing Uniswap’s grant program at the center, then adding Pepeto’s presale fundraising and the current trading ranges for LINK and ADA during a broader market pullback. Beyond those figures, the source did not provide additional independently verifiable financial detail.
