CryptoBriefing and Coinfomania both report a record $590K UNI burn on August 21 but disagree on whether the ~150,000 UNI token amount itself is an all-time high or the second-highest ever.
What all sources agree on
- UNI's daily burn value hit a new all-time high of approximately $590,000 on August 21.
- The burn involved roughly 150,000 UNI tokens.
- The milestone is tied to Uniswap's fee switch mechanism and tokenomics.
Where the reports disagree
1Whether the ~150,000 UNI token amount is the all-time highest or second-highest daily burn in token terms
The milestone eclipsed previous records of 134,000 UNI burned on June 5 and 106,000 UNI on July 30.
The total burn of 150,000 UNI marks the second-highest daily figure in coin terms, underscoring its rising significance.

What to make of it
Treat the $590K record burn value on August 21 as established, but the claim about whether ~150,000 UNI is the largest-ever token-count burn or only the second-largest is unresolved between these two reports.
