UNI Inflows hit Yearly highs as distribution weighs on price

Since the start of the year, some altcoins have posted strong performances, such as UNI, the token of the DeFi platform Uniswap. Its TVL also hit a yearly record in September, at over $4B, as did DEX volumes, which peaked at $93.6B. These strong fundamentals were accompanied by a sharp price rally, with gains of up to +370% from the June low. That said, UNI is currently going through a distribution phase, driven by rising inflows to exchanges. On Binance, UNI inflows reached their highest levels of the year with the Z-score exceeded 4 several times in late September, with daily inflows above $40M. Inflows remain fairly active, although momentum seems to be fading. If this downtrend in inflows continues, UNI could find a bottom and bring an end to the distribution that began at its latest peak of $10.9, from which it has retraced by more than 30%.
