cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) allegedly purchased Uniswap.com for a seven-figure sum to target Uniswap. The story highlights how Uniswap Labs won control of the domain without buying it back after SBF redirected it to a Uniswap fork. Uniswap protocol inventor Hayden Adams stated that SBF purchased the domain after Uniswap Labs declined to meet the original owners’ seven-figure demand.
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.
Unispan (UNI) is trading at $8.73 with a spot volume of $66,916,605 over the last 24 hours. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 51.9%, indicating a slight majority of buy-side pressure, while the 1-hour ratio is higher at 58.1% and the 4-hour ratio has dropped to 47.1%. This suggests that immediate buying momentum is fading after a strong start to the hour. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$518,468, showing recent net inflows, but the 4-hour delta is negative at -$563,789, indicating net outflows over the longer short-term window. Over the full day, the cumulative volume delta is +$2,567,124, yet the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) at close is -$3,913,559, meaning large sell orders have outweighed buys over the session.
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 price increase of 42.6% with a total volume delta of +$21,297,973. The current 24-hour volume is 0.74x the weekly average, making this an unusually quiet day relative to the recent surge. The 7-day average buy ratio is 50.8%, and the latest day is +1.1 points above that average, showing consistent but moderate buying interest. While the weekly trend is strongly bullish, today's lower volume suggests a pause in the aggressive accumulation seen over the past eight days.
