According to FinanceFeeds, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has warned that search engine ads impersonating Uniswap continue to appear, resulting in users losing all their high-value crypto assets. Scammers purchase ads for keywords like "Uniswap" to place fake websites at the top of search results, with designs that closely resemble the official site. Once users connect their wallets and authorize transactions, their funds can be immediately transferred away.These types of attacks rely on user signature authorization rather than protocol-level vulnerabilities. An X platform user "Ika" reported losing crypto wallet assets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars after clicking on a fake link in the search results. Screenshots he disclosed show that the fake link was at the top of the search results, making it highly misleading. Similar incidents occurred in October 2024, where scammers replicated the Uniswap website interface and induced users to connect their wallets through subtle button changes.Data from security firm CertiK indicates that in January 2026, the crypto industry lost approximately $370.3 million due to exploits and scams, marking a nearly 11-month high and nearly four times the losses of January 2025. One single social engineering attack resulted in losses of about $284 million. A total of 40 related security incidents were recorded in January. Analysis points out that current crypto asset losses are increasingly stemming from phishing links, false ads, and social engineering attacks, rather than underlying smart contract vulnerabilities. As the DeFi ecosystem expands, brand impersonation and interface fraud are becoming significant risks affecting user trust.

Uniswap announced on platform X that the proposal to expand protocol fees is now live.The update aims to enable fees for all remaining v3 liquidity pools on the mainnet and to activate protocol fees for v2 and v3 on the newly added 8 chains.

According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that decentralized finance is expected to lead the crypto market out of the current bear market. He pointed out that major DeFi protocols have shown substantial progress: Uniswap DEX's trading volume often exceeds that of centralized exchange Coinbase, and DeFi lending platform Aave has an annual revenue of over $100 million. Hougan believes that the next bull market will focus on fundamentals, and DeFi aligns with this trend.Hougan specifically mentioned Aave Labs' recent governance proposal, which aims to transfer all Aave brand product revenues to the DAO treasury while adjusting the incentive mechanisms between developers and the community. He believes this shift will help address the long-term misalignment between the protocol's success and the token's value; if Aave can achieve this, other DeFi assets may follow suit. He also noted signs of institutional participation, such as BlackRock investing in Uniswap and Apollo investing in Aave competitor Morpho.Additionally, Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated in an interview with Fox Business that the current crypto market is indeed in a bear market, but "it is much milder than previous cycles" and "will last a shorter time." He mentioned that the banking sector's support for Bitcoin is stronger than it was four years ago, with continuous capital inflow and ongoing technological advancements, and posted on X platform that "spring is coming, Bitcoin is winning."

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, after the rise in UNI price, an address transferred 3.65 million UNI (13.43 million USD) into Coinbase Prime.Last night, due to the news that BlackRock plans to purchase a certain amount of UNI, UNI rose by 31% (from $3.28 to $4.3). Now, the UNI price has basically erased all the gains brought by the news and has returned to the price it started rising from last night.

According to DL News, the founding team of Uniswap Labs won a patent infringement lawsuit this week. The case against its decentralized exchange (DEX) was brought by the founders of Bancor, but New York District Judge John Koeltl ruled on Tuesday to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that the plaintiff failed to present a reasonable request for relief. The case involves the code used in Uniswap's original protocol from 2018.Bprotocol Foundation and LocalCoin Ltd. accused the code of belonging to Bancor's patented infrastructure, claiming that Uniswap Labs "profited significantly" without permission. Uniswap's Assistant General Counsel Jolie Yang stated, "This victory is significant for the DeFi community, protecting developers to innovate and improve existing concepts without the worry of patent trolls." The ruling noted that Bancor's patent claims abstract concepts like currency exchange, which are not protected under U.S. patent law. The mechanism (CPAMM) was initially proposed by Bancor in 2017, promoted by Uniswap in 2018, and became a mainstream design for early DEXs; Bancor had previously open-sourced the CPAMM code.

According to Fortune, asset management giant BlackRock announced that after deploying BUIDL on the DeFi platform Uniswap, it plans to purchase Uniswap tokens (UNI), but did not disclose the specific amount to be purchased.Analysts pointed out that after Uniswap added BUIDL to its platform, the actual impact may not be significant in the initial phase, as the protocol involves Securitize creating a qualified institutional whitelist that allows participation in DeFi trading. The company will also whitelist some market makers, including long-term cryptocurrency liquidity provider Wintermute, to facilitate trading. Meanwhile, access to BUIDL is limited to qualified purchasers, specifically individuals or entities with assets of $5 million or more.

According to official news, Uniswap Labs has partnered with Securitize to provide liquidity support for BlackRock's BUIDL.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, Coinbase has added Aztec (AZTEC) to its listing roadmap, and the project team also announced the specific time for the TGE: February 12 at 3 PM (Beijing time). Aztec conducted a fully on-chain automated token auction last December, with 16,741 addresses participating in the auction sale.Ultimately, 15% of the tokens were sold, raising 19,388 ETH (59.13 million USD). This means an FDV of 490 million USD, with a cost of 0.0473 USD. After the auction, a liquidity pool was established on Uniswap with 4,234.6 ETH (12.91 million USD) and 273 million AZTEC. However, since the tokens cannot be transferred before the TGE, the pool has not been activated yet. Once the TGE synchronously activates this 26 million USD liquidity, AZTEC will become one of the altcoins with the best on-chain depth.

The New York Federal Court dismissed the patent infringement lawsuit filed by entities associated with the Bancor protocol against Uniswap. The judge ruled that the relevant patents involve abstract concepts related to cryptocurrency exchange rate calculations, which do not qualify for patent protection under U.S. patent law. The court rejected the plaintiffs' argument that implementing a pricing formula on blockchain infrastructure made it patentable, stating that merely confining an abstract concept to a specific technological environment does not make it patentable. The plaintiffs have 21 days to submit a revised complaint.Uniswap founder Hayden Adams briefly stated on social media that a lawyer just told us we won.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform stating that lawyers informed him that Uniswap has won the lawsuit.Previously, Bprotocol Foundation and LocalCoin Ltd. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, accusing Uniswap Labs and Uniswap Foundation of infringing on their patent related to the constant product automated market maker (CPAMM) infrastructure obtained in 2017.Bancor claims that Uniswap used its core smart contract technology without authorization and is seeking damages. A spokesperson for Uniswap Labs previously stated that the lawsuit is baseless and argued that its protocol code has been publicly available for years.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform, stating that the main issue with describing Rollups as "parasitic" is that these projects undertake a significant and costly engineering effort to scale Ethereum.In a Rollup-centric roadmap, this work is intentionally outsourced. If Ethereum wishes to be more independent, it needs to adopt a serious engineering-driven approach rather than treating every issue as a research problem.

DAO infrastructure provider Tally announced that it will conduct an ICO and plans to publicly document the entire process over the next 60 days. In addition, Tally has built an ICO fundraising platform based on Uniswap CCA to help teams of any size raise capital.
