Can Uniswap Maintain Its Lead Over Ethereum Until October 19?

Uniswap's UNI token surged 111% in a month due to an SEC exemption and CME's upcoming UNI futures launch on October 19. UNI is up 67% in 2026, while Ethereum (ETH) is down 9%. CME's past futures listings caused price drops in other cryptocurrencies, and UNI has already seen a 15% decline. UNI would need to fall 45% against ETH to close the gap by October 19, which is considered unlikely but a pullback is possible.
