lookonchain.com reports that Uniswap founder Hayden Adams revealed SBF purchased the Uniswap.com domain for a seven-figure sum. The original holder had demanded this large amount, but the Uniswap team initially declined to pay. SBF subsequently acquired the domain and redirected traffic to a Uniswap fork project.
Adams noted that this malicious use of the domain provided the legal basis for Uniswap to eventually acquire it for free. The founder did not disclose specific legal procedures or the exact timeline of the transaction.

How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for UNI, measured when this story was written up on 21 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
UNI is trading at $8.73 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.9%, indicating a slight majority of buyers over the full day. However, shorter timeframes show weaker momentum, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 47.8% and the 4-hour ratio at 42.0%. This drop in buying pressure over shorter intervals suggests that recent buying is fading compared to earlier in the day. The 1-hour volume delta is -$854,589, and the 4-hour delta is -$2,017,845, showing net selling in the immediate term. The 24-hour volume delta is +$2,567,124, meaning net buying has occurred over the full day despite recent outflows. CVD at the 24-hour close is -$1,374,453, indicating that sell volume has slightly outweighed buy volume by the end of the period.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.7% sits at the 13th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for UNI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, UNI saw a 42.6% price increase with a total volume delta of +$21,297,973. The 7-day average buy ratio was 50.8%, while today's 24-hour ratio of 51.9% is 1.1 points higher than the weekly average. However, today's spot volume of $66,916,605 is only 0.74x the weekly average, indicating lower participation than usual. Net buying occurred on 4 of the last 7 days, with 10 of the last 24 hours showing net buying. This suggests that while price action remains strong, the current day is less active in terms of volume compared to the weekly norm.
