Standard Chartered claims the Binance hack will further increase DEX trading share relative to CEXs, citing data showing top 10 DEXes captured 23.5% of spot trading in Q2 2026, up 2.1 percentage points from Q1. The report argues DEXs have never suffered exploits, unlike the Binance hack which highlights CEX risks, and encourages investors to re-engage with Uniswap. This shift follows a 2.1 percentage point rise in DEX market share in Q2 2026 compared to Q1.

    Standard Chartered says Binance hack may accelerate shift to DEXs, benefiting Uniswap long-term

    Report first recorded Oct 30, 12:04

    Standard Chartered's global head of digital assets research Geoffrey Kendrick stated that the Binance hack should drive further growth in decentralized exchanges' share of trading relative to centralized platforms. CoinGecko data shows the top 10 spot DEX-to-CEX trading ratio reached 23.5% in Q2 2026, climbing 2.1 percentage points from Q1 2026. Kendrick maintains a $100 price target for Uniswap (UNI) by 2030 but says the hack is "another reason why that forecast may end up being too low."
