This would be the first time Coinbase Pro listed a DeFi protocol governance token immediately after its launch, however, Coinbase has not yet announced whether the retail-oriented platform would list UNI as well.
Uniswap UNI coin which is worth around $3 at the time of writing reached its all-time high today at approximately $4 according to data from coin gecko as seen in the image below:

Meanwhile, Uniswap had announced yesterday that it would issue a billion UNI tokens to its community including the founders, over the next four years. The token which will be used for on-chain governance decisions will allow users to run protocols and may help prevent liquidity flowing to Uniswap’s competitor, SushiSwap.
