An event that happened at 4:30 AM caused a stir on the blockchain.



A major DEX treasury address suddenly transferred out 100 million UNI tokens, worth nearly $600 million. Even more shocking, this money was directly sent to a burn address that only accepts tokens and never releases them, effectively burning the funds publicly.

This is not a theft nor a system malfunction—it's the implementation of the "Transaction Fee Burn Proposal" that has been discussed for months.

**Here's how it works**: From now on, all transaction fee income generated by the DEX will be proportionally used to buy UNI tokens, which will then be completely sent to the black hole for burning. In other words, the more the platform earns, the more tokens are burned.

What does this mean? UNI is officially entering a deflationary cycle. The circulating supply will only decrease, not increase. As long as trading demand persists and the supply shrinks continuously, there will be a fundamental support for the price. For long-term holders, this is a positive signal.

**But there's a reality**: Such a large-scale benefit is not news—smart big funds had already quietly accumulated positions before the proposal was even voted on. By the time the whole network discusses it passionately and retail investors rush in, the market trend has often already gone too far.

The burn mechanism is backed by real assets, and there's no doubt about that. The problem is that the market has already given ample reaction time. Those entering now should be aware: trend judgment is just the foundation; truly making money depends on the courage to cut losses and the restraint from greed. Surviving in this market is more about the timing of your actions than just being right about the trend.

The big players had already laid out their chips by 4:30 AM, and only now are retail investors flooding the chat... This is outrageous. The reaction time of large funds is always half a beat ahead of us. The destruction mechanism is real, but the price response is also truly in place. Watching $600 million go into the black hole feels pretty satisfying, but the question is how many percentage points we can still get. We need to be aware. The deflationary logic is sound, but I don't know how long this round of rally can be sustained. Based on my analysis, the guys currently taking over the position are really highly aware of the risks, or they might end up losing heavily. I am optimistic about this coin-burning play, but I am even more optimistic about those large fund wallet addresses that already knew the news. I'll dig into the data later.

It's the same story again. Large investors have already jumped in; are we retail investors going to buy the dip?

It's the same old story. The big players finished eating long ago, and only then did we see the news.

Large funds have already jumped in, and by the time retail investors see the news, it's already too late.
