Uniswap Foundation allocates $115.10 million for grants, operating funds to support until 2027

The Uniswap Foundation released its Quarter 1 2025 financial summary. As of March 31, 2025, the assets held consisted of $53.40 million in cash and stablecoins, 15.80 million UNIs (as UNIs), and 257 ETH, which totaled approximately $95 million at the closing price on March 31, 2025. In addition, an additional 5 million UNIs were held externally as collateral on which the Foundation obtained a loan of $29 million. The loan was structured through a financial instrument that allowed the Foundation to access immediate dollar liquidity without significant market impact, while providing downside protection for the collateral assets and retaining additional upside potential.
The cash and stablecoins held in US dollars will be used to fund grants and day-to-day operations, while a large amount of UNI reserves will serve as a reserve for future operating funds, while also retaining room for further upward earnings. The expected operating cycle can be maintained until January 2027, and the allocation of funds is as follows:
In terms of grant commitments and incentives, the Foundation has set aside a total of $115.10 million for grants: $99.80 million of which will be committed to spending in 2025 and 2026, and another $15.30 million for historical grants that have been committed but not yet paid. For operating expenses and employee token rewards, $33.30 million is expected to be used to support operations until January 2027.
