Uniswap Foundation Reveals Q1 2025 Earnings Totalling $140.3 Million
The Uniswap Foundation Offers a Glimpse into its Financial Performance and Strategy for Q1 2025
The Uniswap Foundation has revealed its financial report for the first quarter of 2025, indicating a revenue of $140.3 million and the commitment of $12.4 million to new grants. This announcement underscores the significant growth of the decentralized exchange platform.
The majority of the revenue can be attributed to a $140 million governance-approved donation, with the remaining funds generated through interest and dividends on existing assets. As of March 31, 2025, the Foundation held around $95 million in assets, comprising $53.4 million in USD and stablecoins, 15.8 million UNI tokens, and 257 Ethereum.
To ensure liquidity while minimizing market impact, the Foundation structured a $29 million loan against 5 million UNI tokens held as external collateral.
In terms of grant allocation, the Foundation has set aside $115.1 million for future commitments. Out of the $12.4 million committed in Q1 2025, $9.9 million is earmarked for multi-year programs spanning through 2029, demonstrating the Foundation's long-term development strategy for the protocol.
Quarterly operating expenses came in at $1.9 million, with a budget of $33.3 million set aside for operations and employee compensation through January 2027. This funding ensures the Foundation's operational runway extends nearly two years from the end of Q1 2025.
Key strategic priorities for Q1 2025 focused on enhancing capital efficiency across EVM chains, developing premier DeFi platforms, activating sustainable revenue streams, and onboarding protocol-aligned contributors for long-term growth.
The Foundation intends to disclose its Q2 2025 financial results in its next transparency update, along with additional grant commitments and disbursement data.
