According to The Block, Spark and Uniswap have jointly launched the stablecoin exchange system FX Layer. It is reported that FX Layer aims to help institutions trade between tokens pegged to the US dollar by creating a shared pool for issuers to access, minimizing slippage.Spark stated that it will migrate $150 million from its USDS ecosystem to Uniswap v4 to establish a liquidity foundation for the swap pool supporting USDS, Tether's USDT, and PayPal's PYUSD.FX Layer acts as a shared liquidity and trading infrastructure on Uniswap v4, allowing multiple stablecoin issuers such as banks, fintech companies, and payment companies to access a universal system instead of building and launching their own liquidity pools, market makers, and inventory management. Spark serves as the orchestration layer, deciding how to allocate, manage, and coordinate liquidity among different stablecoins, while Uniswap provides a programmable AMM architecture.

Uniswap announced on Wednesday the addition of a no-code token auction tool in its web application, allowing any team to configure and launch on-chain token sales directly through the browser without writing code. This tool operates based on Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism, where bids accumulate over multiple blocks and settle at a uniform clearing price each time.Bidders set a total budget and a maximum price per token, with everyone paying the same final clearing price. Since the auction spans a time distribution rather than being completed in a single block, it eliminates the speed advantage of bots and last-minute sniping. After the auction ends, liquidity is directly injected into the Uniswap pool, achieving an integrated process for price discovery and trading pair guidance.Previously, Aztec raised $59 million through CCA from 17,000 bidders across 191 countries, with the clearing price exceeding the reserve price by 60%; Cap Labs' auction attracted 1,002 independent bids, with a 5.5 times oversubscription, and a clearing FDV of $106 million.

According to monitoring by PeckShield, the address marked as the KyberSwap attacker has transferred 2,000 ETH to Tornado Cash again. Over the past two years, this attacker has transferred and laundered a total of 16,100 ETH through Tornado Cash, equivalent to approximately $40 million at current prices, accounting for over 80% of the $48.8 million in losses from the KyberSwap attack in November 2023. There are still some stolen funds that have not yet been fully transferred.

In response to rumors regarding the attack on the BNB Chain OLPC/LABUBU liquidity pool, PancakeSwap's official announcement stated that the platform has noted the news related to this security incident. After preliminary verification, PancakeSwap's own smart contracts do not have security vulnerabilities. The project team is still continuously investigating the complete causes of the incident and will promptly share the latest investigation progress once more clues are obtained. Meanwhile, the official reminds users that all relevant event information should be based on content released through PancakeSwap's official channels.

According to monitoring by PeckShield, the OLPC/LABUBU liquidity pool on PancakeSwap on the BNB Chain was attacked, with the attacker stealing assets worth approximately $1.1 million. After the incident, the attacker transferred the stolen funds across chains to Ethereum and subsequently deposited 633.4 ETH into the mixing protocol Tornado Cash. In addition, the attacker sent 0.0221 BNB and 0.0411 ETH to an abandoned address, and the details of the attack and the flow of funds are still being tracked.

The Starknet AMM protocol mySwap disclosed that its mySwap CL protocol suffered a vulnerability attack, resulting in approximately $300,000 being withdrawn from the liquidity pool. The official statement indicated that the mySwap interface has been closed for over 6 months and is no longer accepting new liquidity injections. The affected funds were mainly the remaining LP positions scattered across more than 100,000 positions. The attacker utilized the funds stolen through bridging and obscured the asset flow using Railgun. This attack nearly depleted all remaining liquidity in the protocol.

RetoSwap disclosed on platform X that the team received a report at 2:02 AM (Beijing time) today that the Haveno trading protocol was under attack. They immediately set the minimum client version to 2.0 through the filter function and suspended trading, as well as banned the attacker's onion address. RetoSwap stated that the team was not attacked, and the vulnerability lies at the Haveno protocol level. The losses seem to be limited to large cryptocurrency asset orders, and fiat currency traders were not affected. The team is evaluating plans to assist affected traders in recovery. Trading will resume after the protocol is fixed.Previously, on May 21, it was reported that RetoSwap lost approximately $2.7 million due to vulnerabilities in the Haveno protocol.

Standard Chartered Bank has initiated coverage of the decentralized trading protocol Uniswap, predicting that its UNI token could rise from the current approximately $2.7 to $100 by the end of 2030, representing an increase of nearly 40 times. Geoffrey Kendrick, the global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, stated that the next wave of wealth opportunities in the digital asset space may come from DeFi protocols. The core logic is that the scale of tokenized assets entering DeFi will significantly increase, thereby enhancing the trading asset base and fee potential of protocols like Uniswap.Standard Chartered expects that the scale of on-chain tokenized assets will grow from the current approximately $340 billion to $4 trillion by the end of 2028; of which the proportion entering DeFi will rise from the current approximately 3.5% to 30% by the end of 2030. Coupled with the growth of crypto-native assets, the locked assets in DeFi could reach approximately $2.7 trillion, an increase of about 37 times from the current level. Kendrick believes that if Uniswap can successfully commercialize and establish sufficiently scaled partnerships with traditional financial institutions, the valuation multiple between its market capitalization and trading fees is expected to increase, narrowing the gap with centralized trading platforms like Coinbase.Standard Chartered's projected price path for UNI is: $6.5 by the end of 2026, $20 by the end of 2027, $40 by the end of 2028, $65 by the end of 2029, and $100 by the end of 2030, and it is expected that UNI's performance during this period may outperform ETH and BTC.

Uniswap posted on platform X that the asset management company Fidelity Investments has chosen Uniswap as the liquidity infrastructure for its stablecoin FIDD, and the FIDD liquidity pool has been launched on the Uniswap protocol.Previously, in February, it was reported that Fidelity's stablecoin FIDD was officially launched, open to retail and institutional investors.

The multi-chain trading protocol Novaswap developer Mynth tweeted that it will cease operations of Novaswap on June 30. The official statement indicated that although its protocol performed well in terms of security and functionality, the actual market demand for a fast and secure cross-chain experience could not support continued expansion.The team explored various possible paths but ultimately decided to shut down. All user funds are in a non-custodial state, remaining secure without any action required. The exchange function will still be available for normal use until June 30, and Discord support will continue until the end of July.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams expressed deep gratitude for the long-term funding and multifaceted support provided by the Ethereum Foundation (EF), but specifically clarified that Uniswap was not incubated by EF, and that he participated as an external grantee with a close personal connection to EF.Previously, EF Chair Aya Miyaguchi and co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly shared their views on the future direction of the Ethereum Foundation. Miyaguchi stated that part of the reason for proposing the EF mission framework at the end of last year was the issue of deviation in technical discussions.

According to Bloomberg, the White House is reviewing early proposals from the U.S. SEC and CFTC regarding the re-examination of swaps and security swap reporting requirements, which are currently in the pre-rule stage. The two regulatory agencies plan to solicit public opinions before formally drafting regulatory details. The current reporting rules for swaps and security swaps in the U.S. are not unified, and some existing compliance exemption policies will expire in 2029.The International Swaps and Derivatives Association and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association jointly sent a letter last month urging regulators to unify the data reporting standards for the two types of products, while ICE Trade Vault LLC made a similar request. The CFTC stated that this work is being carried out jointly by the two agencies, and the SEC chairman has arranged for personnel to establish a unified reporting system during the industry conference in March. The new regulations will require two rounds of agency voting and public consultation before implementation.

In response to Bankless founder David Hoffman's liquidation of ETH, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform stating that "ETH is Money" is the correct narrative, just different from most people's understanding.Hayden Adams stated that in the future, all assets will be tokenized, and people will hold the assets they value most, while the most decentralized monetary system will manifest as "an infinite form of currency competing with each other." He believes that with a low-cost, high-efficiency, 24/7 asset exchange system, there is no need for a single unit of account. He also claimed that Ethereum-based Uniswap is "the best decentralized monetary system," and it is still in its early stages.

On-chain analyst "b-block" posted on social media on Monday that a counterfeit Uniswap website is stealing funds from multiple wallets, with assets held by the scammers valued at over $400,000. Stacy Muur, founder of the Web3 marketing agency Green Dots, shared screenshots of false sponsored results from search engines, criticizing Google for ignoring this issue for years, leading to fake links ranking above real ones, resulting in users continuously being scammed.According to Etherscan data, the two flagged addresses hold a total of about 146 ETH, valued at approximately $306,000. DeFiLlama pointed out that fake ads on Google are a common source of phishing attacks. The crypto nonprofit organization Security Alliance (SEAL) reported in April that phishing activities on Google searches significantly increased in March, with attackers deploying highly deceptive fake ads by paying for or hijacking legitimate ad accounts, using seemingly real URLs to bypass Google's automatic checks, and loading malicious payloads through hidden iframes.SEAL has blocked over 356 malicious ad links and stated that the volume of Google ads deployed by attackers has remained stable for over a year, with no slowdown in attack activities. Reports indicate that between March 13 and 30 alone, a total of $1.27 million was stolen. Additionally, earlier this month, there were malicious ad campaigns targeting Mac users that utilized Google ads and the AI chatbot Claude for shared chats. Malwarebytes also reported that Facebook is similarly a hotspot for fake ads and scams.

Uniswap's governance proposal aims to extend the protocol fee collection and burning infrastructure to BNB Chain and Polygon, and to complete the fee activation process on Celo that was not executed due to a configuration error.The proposal includes: setting the fee receiving address for the V2 protocol on BNB Chain, Polygon, and Celo to TokenJar, and designating the V3 Factory owner on the relevant chains as V3OpenFeeAdapter; additionally, Celo will transfer the feeToSetter role and V4 PoolManager ownership to CrossChainAccount.The proposal states that fees from each chain will be aggregated into the corresponding TokenJar, and then UNI will be bridged back to the Ethereum mainnet and sent to the burn address.
