DeFi infrastructure company Enso disclosed in a report a type of malicious liquidity pool called "toxic pools," which manipulates trading simulations to return false optimal quotes to wallets and DEX aggregators, and alters logic during actual on-chain execution. Enso stated that the relevant malicious contracts can identify read-only simulation environments and return optimized prices, but once the trades are broadcasted on-chain, they execute at worse prices or result in transaction failures.A manipulated Curve pool processed over 129,000 exchanges, resulting in approximately $225,000 in inflated quotes, with over 37,000 transactions rolling back and consuming nearly $30,000 in gas fees. On Polygon, a malicious Uniswap v4 hook attracted routing systems with false exchange rates, subsequently triggering a 99.1% transaction failure rate. Enso stated that it has updated its execution protection product Enso Shield to detect false quotes in Ethereum and Polygon environments.

According to a report by The Block, a study commissioned by 1inch and conducted by Dune found that approximately 85% of concentrated liquidity in decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap v3, Uniswap v4, PancakeSwap v3, and Aerodrome Slipstream is not effectively utilized. The research analyzed the performance of nearly 200 active liquidity pools across 7 chains in 26 weekly snapshots, tracking an average liquidity of about $1.84 billion per week, of which approximately $1.6 billion is in an inefficient state.Specifically, on the Uniswap v3 platform, among the liquidity that has deviated from the market-making price range, 44.5% has not been adjusted for more than 90 days, making it the platform with the highest proportion in this study; in contrast, Aerodrome has a ratio of about 20%, with 58% of idle funds having been adjusted within the last 30 days.Additionally, only about 35% of idle funds are located within 5% of the market price, approximately 43% deviate from the market price by more than 25%, and another 17% deviate by more than 100%. In terms of fund size, positions exceeding $1 million hold about 47% of idle funds, amounting to approximately $260 million.

Uniswap initiated a governance proposal to extend the protocol fee collection and UNI burning mechanism to the Robinhood Chain, covering versions v2, v3, and v4.According to the proposal, the protocol fees generated on the Robinhood Chain will be sent to the TokenJar contract on that chain, and Searchers can redeem the fees by bridging UNI back to the Ethereum mainnet and sending it to the burn address.

Interactive Brokers announced on Tuesday the expansion of its digital asset business, adding trading tokens such as Aave, Aptos, Canton, Lido DAO, Monad, NEAR Protocol, Plasma, Pax Gold, and Uniswap, and supporting 24/7 stablecoin wallet transfers via USDC, PYUSD, and RLUSD.As of mid-2026, Interactive Brokers manages approximately $930.3 billion in client assets, with cryptocurrency trading commissions starting at 0.12% to 0.18% of the total transaction amount, with a minimum order fee of $1.75, and no additional spreads, markups, or custody fees. The company stated that accounts in the UK and Ireland cannot use stablecoin two-way deposits, and clients of the Irish affiliate cannot access the newly launched crypto assets.

Uniswap announced that teams can now directly configure and initiate Uniswap Auctions in the Uniswap Web App. This feature is supported by Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA), which are used for on-chain token distribution, price discovery, and liquidity guidance.According to reports, CCA is now live on the Robinhood Chain, allowing teams to run token auctions on-chain, discover more market-oriented issuance prices, and launch liquidity on Uniswap v4 after the auction ends. Previously, projects like Aztec and Cap have used Uniswap Auctions for permissionless and transparent on-chain token distribution.Uniswap stated that the new launch process supports importing existing tokens or creating new tokens, and allows for configuring auction parameters and liquidity pool settings after the auction. The current interface supports Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Unichain, with plans to expand to more chains in the future.

DeFiLlama data shows that Uniswap's trading fees in the past 24 hours were approximately $5.027 million.Uniswap founder Hayden Adams stated that Uniswap's daily trading fees are second only to Tether and Circle, and significantly higher than projects like Hyperliquid and Pump.

Uniswap founder Hayden posted on the X platform, stating that many people have not noticed that the Uniswap protocol fees have been activated and UNI has been burned. He continues to receive replies believing that the protocol fees have not been activated.Currently, there are 3 governance proposals being voted on: 1) Robinhood Chain fees (v2/v3); 2) v4 fees; 3) fee bridge cleanup on xlayer, ava, megaeth, sonium.

Uniswap founder Hayden posted on the X platform that 99.5% of the DEX trading volume related to Robinhood Chain comes from Uniswap.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the Summer.fi attacker wallet (0x7BF...b3bdca) received 6.017 million DAI from the attack event; since then, 1.35 million DAI has been transferred, exchanged for ETH via Uniswap, and transferred to Tornado Cash through a second wallet (0x46e...eba7).Currently, the original wallet still holds approximately 4.67 million DAI, and the second wallet still holds 50 ETH.

According to official news, Uniswap Labs has released a temperature check proposal, suggesting the activation of protocol fees in the v4 pool. This proposal follows the rapid governance process previously approved by UNIfication and will directly enter a five-day Snapshot voting period, followed by on-chain voting.Due to the Hook architecture of v4 making fee settings more complex than v2/v3, the proposal has designed the V4 Fee Controller system, which includes two core contracts: V4FeePolicy calculates the fees for any pool based on governance rules, and V4FeeAdapter is responsible for executing governance overrides and collecting fees into TokenJar. Fees are calculated hierarchically based on the family of the pool: first checking the specific trading pair rate set by governance, then the family default rate, and finally the global default rate.This proposal aims to activate fees for three types of pool families across 11 chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain: static rate pools without Hooks, CCA pools after continuous liquidation auctions, and aggregator Hook pools. The rates for aggregator Hook pools are adjusted by a 25x multiplier, with a default of 10 bp for non-Base chains (3 bp for stablecoin pairs) and a default of 3 bp for Base chains (1 bp for stablecoin pairs). All fees will flow into each chain's TokenJar, and the amount of UNI burned on L2 and Alt-L1 will be cross-chain bridged to the Ethereum mainnet and sent to the 0xdead address.The Snapshot voting window is from July 7 to July 12, and on-chain voting will start during the week of July 13. Since GovernorBravo limits each proposal to 10 actions, two on-chain votes will be submitted in parallel to cover all chains.

The security analysis platform GoPlus tweeted regarding the incident where "a user exchanged approximately 1126 ETH (about 2.01 million USD) for 5776 LIT (about 14,000 USD) on Uniswap, resulting in a loss of nearly 2 million USD." The core reason for this incident was not a sandwich attack, but rather backrunner arbitrage within the same block. The routing contract injected a large amount of WETH into a liquidity-poor AVAIL/WETH trading pool, causing the user to buy AVAIL at a severely deviated market price (about 120 times the reasonable price). Subsequently, within the same block, the backrunner executed a reverse trade on the pool with a minimal amount of AVAIL at the real price, withdrawing approximately 1072 WETH, and paid most of it (about 1018 ETH) as builder payment to Titan Builder.

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.

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.

According to Cointelegraph, Standard Chartered Bank predicts in its latest research report that by 2030, the locked assets in decentralized finance (DeFi) will reach approximately $2.7 trillion, growing about 37 times from current levels. The report points out that this growth will be primarily driven by the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and the migration of crypto-native assets to on-chain protocols.Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that the next round of "structural growth opportunities" in digital assets will come from DeFi protocols, and it is expected that by 2030, the proportion of tokenized assets entering the DeFi system will increase from the current approximately 3.5% to about 30%.Current data shows that only about 3% of stablecoins and 10% of tokenized real assets are actually used in DeFi protocols, indicating significant room for penetration. The report also emphasizes that achieving the $2.7 trillion target will rely on the rapid expansion of tokenized asset scale and a significant improvement in on-chain capital efficiency. Previously, Standard Chartered predicted that by 2028, the scale of tokenized non-stablecoin real assets would reach $2 trillion, with money market funds and U.S. stocks becoming major components.At the infrastructure level, the report mentions that decentralized trading protocols like Uniswap could become important trading hubs for tokenized assets and notes that traditional financial institutions will focus more on security and stability when entering the on-chain market. However, analysts also warn that tokenization does not necessarily lead to increased liquidity, and fragmentation between different chains and asset standards may still limit market depth and unified pricing capability.

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.

According to Fortune, the crypto-focused venture capital firm Variant has completed the fundraising of its new fund, Variant 4, totaling $222 million. The fund will invest in projects at their earliest stages, focusing on the theme of "autonomy" to integrate AI and crypto applications.Partner Jesse Walden stated that in the future, the label "crypto investor" will disappear, and crypto will become a universal "underlying pipeline" like internet infrastructure. The core is to provide users and businesses with greater autonomy and security through decentralized and contract security architecture, supporting the development of applications including DeFi platforms Uniswap and Morpho.

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.
