According to market news, in the past two days, a whale has been continuously selling the following tokens and incurring huge losses: sold 3.59 million $AERO for 1.39 million $USDC, a loss of 3.66 million dollars; sold 35.45 million $BRETT for 310.5 thousand $USDC, a loss of 3.07 million dollars; sold 636 thousand $VIRTUAL for 407.5 thousand $USDC, a loss of 1.76 million dollars.In addition, the whale has started selling $ANDY, currently incurring a loss of 1.615 million dollars.

According to DefiLlama data, as of January 22, the trading volume of decentralized exchanges (DEX) on the Base chain has surpassed that of Ethereum and BNB Chain for the first time, driven by the two major protocols, Uniswap and Aerodrome, on Base.This surge in trading may be related to the launch of the native token FUN by the well-known gaming protocol FootballFun on Base during the same week. This supported football-themed gaming protocol has a weekly trading volume of millions of dollars, making it the largest gaming protocol on Base, and its leader has recently promoted the project multiple times.However, despite the initial hype, the price of the FUN token has already retreated. According to DEXScreener data, at the time of writing, the trading price of FUN has dropped nearly 7% from its TGE price.

According to Aerodrome, the domain hijacking attack that the agreement previously encountered was fully mitigated in less than 4 hours, with user losses amounting to approximately $700,000.It is reported that within 2 minutes of the first malicious transaction being detected, major wallets such as MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet began displaying warnings. Losses were limited to users who connected and signed transactions during the active period of the malicious website. Currently, the team is working with security consultants and corporate registrars, and the domain is expected to be migrated and reopened next week. Additionally, the Aero and Velo foundations are developing plans to provide grants proportional to the losses for affected users.

Base ecosystem DEX Aerodrome officially announced on platform X that the team is investigating a potential DNS hijacking incident. Please do not use the main domain of the website, as it is under investigation.

According to DL News, Aerodrome developer Dromos Labs will launch a new protocol, Aero, and its token in the second quarter of 2026, aiming to replace Uniswap as the dominant player in the Ethereum ecosystem.The new protocol Aero will simplify the cross-chain token exchange process and enable traders to perform cross-chain transactions with just one click through built-in bridging technology. Aero will also enhance incentives to attract traders and liquidity providers by providing additional revenue sources such as MEV and distributing them to Aero token holders, allowing Aero to offer better prices to crypto traders than its competitors.Previously, Dromos Labs CEO Alexander Cutler stated on X that the recently proposed fee switch reform by Uniswap is a huge mistake made by our biggest competitor.Aerodrome is the largest DEX on Base, while its sister protocol Velodrome is the largest DEX on Optimism. This is the development team's first expansion to the Ethereum mainnet, directly competing with the long-dominant Uniswap.

The CEO of Dromos Labs, Alexander, behind Aerodrome and Velodrome, posted on X: "I never thought that on the eve of the most important day for Dromos Labs, our biggest competitor would make such a significant blunder... This is a massive strategic error made at the most inopportune time."Cap'n Jack Bearow, a subjective commentator on Berachain DeFi, remarked that Aerodrome might announce cross-chain expansion on Wednesday, while Uniswap would reduce LP profitability due to the activation of the fee switch, which would aid Aerodrome's competitiveness.
