Odaily News – Robinhood's blockchain, Robinhood Chain, has recently seen a surge in trading activity. On August 30, the network processed a record 5.52 million transactions in a single day, with on-chain applications generating approximately $2.66 million in 24-hour revenue—surpassing Ethereum's roughly $1.3 million and trailing only Solana's $5.07 million.Meanwhile, Robinhood Chain recorded approximately $875 million in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. Among this, the two major versions of Uniswap contributed around $432 million and $357 million in trading volume, respectively.Meme coin trading is one of the primary drivers behind this surge in activity. Data shows that Pons, a token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, created approximately 22,600 tokens in a single day, marking an increase of over 40% from the previous day. Together, GMGN, Pons, and Uniswap accounted for roughly 88% of the network's application revenue.Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1, initially focusing on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) such as stocks. However, within just a few weeks of going live, meme coin trading quickly took center stage. Now, as the crypto market warms up, trading activity on Robinhood Chain has continued to intensify, with daily network transactions climbing from under 1 million in early July to over 5 million.Based on current data, the most active use case on Robinhood Chain is not tokenized stocks, but rather meme coin issuance and speculative trading.

Odaily News: Uniswap founder Hayden said in a post on X that he cannot ignore the theory of correlation trading pairs when observing various things, and noticed that the second-largest Uniswap pool on Base is the Jito staked SOL/BTC trading pair, which aligns with the logic of correlation trading pairs.In an article titled "Correlation Trading Pairs: How AMMs Win the Biggest Markets," Hayden stated that AMMs have the potential to become the core engine of all financial markets, and tokenization will make markets programmable, changing market types, market makers, and the assets being traded.He said Uniswap has been operating autonomously since its launch in 2018, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $4.6 trillion, and has helped increase the proportion of decentralized exchanges relative to centralized spot trading volume from less than 1% to over 20%. As AMMs have developed, their liquidity has gradually formed a structure of correlation trading pairs.He pointed out that AMMs initially achieved product-market fit in the long-tail asset market, and then stablecoin trading pairs developed. Due to the lower capital costs of passive strategies, the demand for professional market making in stablecoin trading pairs has been squeezed.Hayden said traditional financial markets are dominated by market-making firms that integrate capital, trading strategies, execution technology, settlement, and distribution into a single vertical business. Citadel Securities handles approximately 25% of US stock trading volume, with net trading revenue reaching $12.2 billion last year and trading capital of approximately $21 billion.He believes blockchain can unbundle the different components of traditional market-making businesses: code handles execution, shared services provide custody and settlement, and open-source software replaces proprietary infrastructure. The scarce factor of capital in AMMs is capital itself, and participants who can hold inventory at lower costs gain an advantage.Hayden said liquidity providers face lower inventory risk when holding assets with similar price movements, and liquidity will deepen as a result. Ethereum ecosystem assets typically trade against ETH, Solana ecosystem assets typically trade against SOL, stablecoins trade in pairs with each other, and a few high-liquidity trading pairs are responsible for connecting different asset clusters.He noted that once tokenized assets share the same settlement layer, any asset can trade directly against any other asset. For example, NVIDIA/USD can become NVIDIA/SPY and connect to the dollar through SPY/USD; oil companies can trade against oil ETFs or tokenized oil, and private credit can trade against tokenized US Treasury funds.Hayden said traditional market makers typically pursue delta neutrality, reducing risk by denominating in USD and hedging non-USD exposure, which increases market-making costs. A market structure consisting of low-volatility correlation trading pairs and a few high-
Odaily News: Payment app Cash App is expanding its cryptocurrency services through crypto payment platform MoonPay, allowing 50 million users to purchase tokens such as ETH, SOL, XRP, and USDT. Additionally, users can top up major wallets like Ledger, BitPay, Trust Wallet, MetaMask, and Uniswap through Cash App. Previously, Cash App's crypto services only supported Bitcoin, with USDC support added earlier this year.

The staking window will be open from 20:00 on August 18 to 20:00 on August 23 (UTC+8). For more details, please refer to the official Bitget platform.
Odaily News: Uniswap founder Hayden Adams published a long post on the X platform, stating that as traditional assets such as stocks progressively become tokenized, AMMs are expected to expand from crypto long-tail assets and the stablecoin market into traditional financial markets. He believes that tokenization makes markets programmable, which not only changes how markets operate, but also what kinds of markets can exist, who provides liquidity, and how trading pairs are formed between different assets.Adams argues that in the future, on-chain liquidity may be reorganized around correlation-based trading pairs—for example, NVDA could trade directly against SPY, with SPY/USD serving as the bridge to the US dollar. Meanwhile, he stated that AMMs will win the market. Beyond correlation-based trading, another important factor is the continuous improvement in AMM design and customizability—for instance, Uniswap v4 Hooks enables deep market customization, significantly enhancing LP returns. Adams believes that passive liquidity will ultimately follow a similar development path and prevail, and its impact could be even greater, as it can substantially lower the barriers to creating and participating in markets.
Standard Chartered reports that Robinhood Chain is rapidly accumulating liquidity through Uniswap integration, with TVL approaching $1 billion, while driving UNI token annualized burn to $90 million.
Odaily News Robinhood's blockchain project, Robinhood Chain, has seen its total value locked (TVL) approach $1 billion. According to Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick, nearly all of its liquidity is provided by Uniswap V2, V3, and V4, making it the fastest-growing blockchain by this metric. Protocol fees generated by Robinhood Chain through Uniswap have now become the largest source of UNI burns. Since the Robinhood-related fee switch was activated on July 27, the annualized UNI burn rate has reached approximately $90 million. At roughly $3.50 per token, this equates to burning 25 million UNI annually, representing slightly more than 4% of the circulating supply. Robinhood Chain launched on July 1, with a focus on bringing real-world assets on-chain, and reached 194,000 daily active users within its first week. The partnership allows Robinhood to directly leverage mature DeFi infrastructure to provide liquidity for blockchain expansion. Robinhood is expanding its business into cryptocurrency, prediction markets, and tokenization. The company reported record second-quarter revenue and earnings, though cryptocurrency trading volumes and related revenue both declined. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily News: Andre Cronje, founder of DeFi platform Flying Tulip and creator of Fantom Network, stated that most DeFi protocols are no longer truly decentralized, with only a few niche areas still qualifying as DeFi. He believes DeFi has evolved into "on-chain finance" or "open finance." He pointed out that true DeFi should possess characteristics such as decentralization, immutability, and the absence of intermediaries, whereas the intermediaries in most current protocols have become corporations, taking on traditional financial institution roles such as decision-makers and risk committees. Cronje noted that this does not mean true DeFi has completely disappeared, as some protocols are still innovating. Data from DefiLlama shows that the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi has dropped from $167 billion in early October 2025 to $75 billion at the time of the original report over the past 10 months, a decline of more than half. In a working paper published in March, the European Central Bank (ECB) analyzed Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth, and Uniswap, finding that based on holding snapshots from November 2022 and May 2023, the top 100 addresses holding governance tokens in these protocols each controlled over 80% of the token supply. The ECB consequently questioned the level of decentralization of these DAOs and whether they should continue to be regarded as "fully decentralized" services exempt from the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

Odaily News, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on X platform, expressing excitement about the launch of Uniswap's launchpad platform, Pools.trade.Hayden Adams stated that prior to the official launch, some users had already discovered an early version of the smart contract and completed over $150 million in trading volume before the UI was released. Due to the need to support both the early test version and the final contract version simultaneously, the team updated the website and indexing system, causing a delay in the official release.He noted that Uniswap has been used as token issuance infrastructure by the market for over 8 years, and the team hopes to work with other launch platforms to drive the development of this sector.According to the introduction, the key features of Pools.trade include:No additional launchpad fees—only the standard protocol fees for Uniswap v4 pools;Automatic liquidity compounding to improve capital efficiency;All launch pool liquidity is permanently locked;Supports both instant issuance and crowdfunding issuance modes;Integrated with multiple ecosystem entry points from day one, including the Uniswap Web app, wallet, trading API, Bitget, Fomo, GMGN, and OKX Wallet.Hayden Adams also clarified that the 0.25% LP fee from Pools.trade does not go to the Uniswap team but is automatically reinvested into the locked liquidity pool. The revenue distribution mechanism allocates 20% to the creator and 80% to liquidity compounding.He added that Pools.trade is currently still in Beta, and Uniswap Labs will continue to roll out upgrades and optimizations.
Odaily News: Uniswap founder Hayden posted on X, stating that FUD spreaders are concentrating on spreading narratives based more on positions than facts. Meanwhile, Pools.trade has already reached a trading volume of $150 million before its official launch and is still in the Beta stage. Traffic has far exceeded expectations, so there are some areas of the UI that need improvement, but they will be fixed soon.
Odaily News: According to the official announcement, Binance Futures will update the collateral rates and tiered collateral rates for certain assets under Portfolio Margin mode at 14:00 (Beijing Time) on August 7, 2026, and simultaneously adjust the leverage and margin tiers for multiple USDT-margined perpetual contracts. This adjustment involves assets such as UNI, PEPE, ASTER, HFT, and KMNO, as well as contracts including 0GUSDT, BERAUSDT, WUSDT, SUPERUSDT, TURBOUSDT, and 1MBABYDOGEUSDT, and is expected to be completed within 30 minutes to one hour. Please note that existing positions will be affected, and users are advised to adjust their positions in advance.
Uniswap partners with decentralized lending protocol Morpho to launch yield product Earn, enabling users to directly deposit USDC, USDT, and ETH to earn on-chain yield while keeping assets non-custodial.
Bitget PoolX lists project BGBTC; users can lock BGBTC to share 5,500 UNI, with an individual lock limit of 30 BGBTC.
Bitget PoolX will launch the project Space and Time (SXT). Locking SXT allows sharing 2,500 UNI, with an individual locking limit of 80 million SXT. The locking channel opens from 18:00 on July 31 to 18:00 on August 5 (UTC+8).
Uniswap announced the launch of a beta Launches tab in its web app to aggregate and display token launch projects based on Uniswap infrastructure. This feature initially supports launch projects on Robinhood Chain and integrates token information from multiple launch platforms. Users can filter and sort by dimensions such as launch platform, 24-hour trading volume, liquidity, listing time, and popularity.
Uniswap founder Hayden posted on X, stating that one of the biggest misconceptions in the DeFi space is that DEX aggregators have eliminated the distribution advantages of AMMs. Listing a token on Uniswap is like being simultaneously listed on all global exchanges for free, something other AMMs cannot achieve.
Cash Cat has announced the launch of its meme coin launchpad, letscash.fun. The project team stated that the platform originated from the community's demand for a fair launch mechanism following the listing of Robinhood Crypto, and was driven by community development.Cash Cat indicated that the platform operates in two modes: In Creator Mode, 70% of tokens go to the creator and 30% to the protocol; in Self-Destruct Mode, similarly, 70% is used to buy and burn tokens. The 30% obtained by the protocol will be used to burn cash-cat:native, increase treasury funds, and support development.The platform is powered by Uniswap v4, employing a permissionless, decentralized mechanism that is immutable after deployment. It is currently undergoing its final security review by Hyacinth Audits and SB Security.
According to Odaily, Pons, a token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, will release its v2 version, planning to introduce multiple feature updates.It is reported that Pons v2 will introduce a Bonding Curve mechanism denominated in ETH, remove trading restrictions for non-developer wallets, and support custom trading pairs, including RWA assets such as USDG, NVDA, AAPL, and HOOD.Additionally, Pons will adopt Uniswap V4 pools and Hooks to redesign the fee structure, with creators receiving fees in ETH by default. When the token value reaches 4.2 ETH, it will automatically graduate to a permanently locked Uniswap V4 full-range position.Other updates include a new CTO function with a 3-day timelock, support for charging fees in stablecoins or other tokens, and an optional tax mechanism for each buy and sell transaction.
Uniswap has announced the official launch of the DualPool Hook. DualPool is an open-source Uniswap v4 Hook, jointly designed and developed by Spark and Uniswap Labs, which allows market makers to deposit idle assets into lending protocols to earn yields while waiting for liquidity funds to be matched, and to recall funds to the liquidity pool when a trade occurs. From an external perspective, DualPool is indistinguishable from a regular Uniswap v4 liquidity pool; traders, aggregators, and solvers still execute transactions through the Pool Manager. Its internal mechanism involves storing liquidity funds in an ERC-4626 yield vault, automatically withdrawing funds to deploy into concentrated liquidity positions when a trade needs to be executed, thereby ensuring transaction execution while allowing idle funds to continuously generate lending returns.
