UNIUP is a Binance-Leveraged Token (BLVT) of the underlying UNI token, which increases the rewards of token holders as the price of UNI increases. UNI token is the native coin (currency) of the Uniswap decentralized exchange. The Uniswap protocol is a liquidity provider for trading ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network. The protocol is fully decentralized and uses the automatic liquidity protocol trading model. 

Leveraged tokens provide leveraged exposure to cryptocurrency prices without the risk of liquidation. This exposure allows users to enjoy the increased gains their leveraged products can offer without worrying about managing their leveraged positions. There is no collateral to manage or margin requirements to maintain, and there is nearly no liquidation risk. 

The derivative exchange FTX presented the original design of the leveraged token. These tokens are well-discussed because they don't work as expected, especially in the long run. Binance Leveraged Tokens (BLVT) proposef alternative designs.

Binance Leverage Tokens (BLVT) are assets that can be traded on the Binance Spot Market. Each BLVT represents an open position basket in the permanent futures market. Therefore, BLVT is a tokenized version of the leveraged futures position. Binance Leverage Tokens are listed, and tradable directly in Binance and cannot be withdrawn into a user's wallet. 

BLVTs were designed to address the disputed issues of traditional leverage tokens. The problem is protecting users from the net asset value erosion caused by constant rebalancing. In general, leveraged tokens are not an alternative to holding assets in the spot market, which is also true for BLVT. 

However, if users predict market movements correctly, trading BLVT is usually profitable. BLVT offers many viable options for expanding gains, reducing trading capital risk, and even taking advantage of strong market momentum.
