A study of about 121,000 Uniswap v3 liquidity positions from mid-2025 to mid-2026 shows that only 18% of small positions (under $1,000) outperformed simply holding tokens after accounting for Ethereum gas fees. Gas costs, with a median of 67 cents for small positions, significantly reduced returns, dropping the outperformance rate from 51% before gas to 18% after. Overall, 34% of all closed positions beat holding after gas, with total fees collected at $41.6 million but combined results still $20.4 million behind holding due to token value changes and gas costs. This highlights the challenge for small liquidity providers in earning net profits on Uniswap v3, especially as Uniswap v4 sees rising liquidity activity but lacks comparable performance data yet.
