Onchain liquidity is coming to Arc. @Uniswap is coming to Arc, to bring deep liquidity and a leading swap infrastructure to Arc’s stablecoin-native ecosystem. This would give builders: → Proven onchain swap infrastructure with $4.4T in volume → Deep stablecoin liquidity for trading and token discovery → A familiar venue for users to access assets on Arc More to come.

1/ ICYMI: Clear signing is now live. Hear how the Ethereum ecosystem is coming together to make transactions readable.

Another great post from @joechalom and @Sharplink. It is great to see Joseph highlight the remarkable milestone of 1 million lifetime developers that have built or build on Ethereum. Joseph also touches on some key factors that will lead to the many L2s, and private permissioned Besu Ethereum chains becoming fully composable with each other and L1: credible neutrality, modularity, culture and composability. He sketches the synchronous and near-synchronous composability work that the @Linea team is doing and others including @Zisk and @gnosis_ are doing similar work. Atomic bridgeless execution zones and real-time unification of liquidity fragments will be the benefits and a unified extended Ethereum ecosystem will be the major result. ETH will be resident on all of these networks and used to pay fees for inclusion in multi-network activity to synchronizers who aggregate ZK proofs from the various networks. Ethereum is growing into an increasingly globally systemically important infrastructure, and ETH is about to also become globally systemically important as it will be the fuel and currency that powers transactions, storage, staking and many other functions on the world's main global digital asset processing and settlement layer. Amusingly, I found this my DevCon5 Osaka keynote entitled "When 1 Million Eth Devs?" We got there. And the keynote does a pretty decent job of sketching how Ethereum will become systemically infrastructure, from way back in 2019. youtube.com/watch?v=Sp8ZjaWg…

“Uniswap did nothing” is only true if you stopped watching after v3. Since then, they shipped UniswapX, v4 hooks, Unichain, API distribution, wallet infra, limit orders, cross-chain swaps, portfolio tracking, and tokenized securities support. The protocol has cleared $4.4T in cumulative volume. v2 v3 alone processed $2.75T with zero hacks. v4 launched after 9 audits, a 500 participant security competition, and a $15.5M bug bounty. @Uniswap v4 also turned the protocol into a developer platform with 150 hooks already built, custom pool logic, dynamic fees, allowlists, KYC gates, and issuer-configured restrictions for RWAs. The API is not just a side product either. It powers MetaMask swaps, has already processed $126M volume, 585K swaps, 251K wallets, and wins around 31% of @MetaMask swaps on Ethereum mainnet. The developer platform has 3,000 API keys, 10M asset coverage across 18 chains, ~200ms routing, and >97% fill rates. @unichain is another piece of the stack. Before mainnet, it already had 95M testnet transactions and 14.7M smart contracts deployed. Uniswap products now support in-app wallets, P&L tracking, multichain portfolio views, and one-action cross-chain swaps without a separate bridge step. Now tokenized securities are live on Uniswap Web App, Wallet, and API. RWA pools on Uniswap have already processed $9.1B in volume across 2.6M transactions from 140K wallets. The fair criticism is ethereum:0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 value capture. But saying Uniswap stopped building is not analysis. It is just lazy 😤

Great new piece from massive international bank @StanChart on Uniswap! They project ~40x growth in tokenized assets active in DeFi, with Uniswap "uniquely positioned to scale to meet this opportunity" Full report below:

1/ The Clarity Act may soon head to the Senate floor. Today in @CoinDesk, I make the case that developer protections – the BRCA – must stay in the bill, fully and intact. 🧵 coindesk.com/opinion/2026/06…

Aave V4 crossed $175 million deposits.

Aave V4 user deposits nearly tripled in 30 days, climbing from $60M to $172M ( 186%).

Permissionless dollars, now with fixed yield. The most electrifying stablecoin play on the @Plasma neobank chain is back ⚡ Welcoming @ethena sUSDe (22 Oct 2026)

Why Aave V4 spokes are important for Aave. The spokes are simply lending markets that can have generic or expand custom use-cases. DeFi moves incredibly fast and its time consuming to build everything ourself even if we wanted to. Spokes allow to partner with external teams that have expertise on a subject such as AMMs, perps, fixed lending, crypto or securities custody and expand Aave's liquidity into these new use-cases. Aave SPs review the implementation and the Aave DAO takes a fee as fee sharing. Partners are accessing Aave's deep liquidity and distribution while Aave is accessing speed, expertise and new monetization opportunities. Fully implemented directly at a protocol level as an expansion. It's a scale, speed and monetization advantage. Aave will win.

Over 1.7M $PENDLE Buyback 🔥 Since the launch of sPENDLE, the protocol has acquired 1,722,192 $PENDLE from the open market and distributed every token to sPENDLE holders. On top of it, sPENDLE holders have collected ~$1.4M in airdrops since the start of the year.

bill simmons created the giannis and boston noise as a smoke screen to get the heat to panic and pay up more for giannis

BREAKING: Aave is launching a consumer app that lets users deposit directly from a bank account into the protocol. Early users report funding from Chase to Aave in under five minutes. Per @parisrouz

Liquidity infrastructure for stablecoin FX is building on Arc. @AerodromeFi is coming to Arc, deploying its exchange infrastructure to help power Arc’s stablecoin-native ecosystem. This launch unlocks: → Deeper markets for FX swaps and liquidity provision → A proven way to bootstrap stablecoin liquidity on Arc → Capital-efficient infrastructure to help grow onchain economies More to come.

For the first time ever, US-regulated gold and silver futures won’t be closing for the weekend. Or ever. 24/7 trading goes live tonight on Coinbase. With oil, and more, coming soon.

Innovation shouldn’t be held back by uncertainty. The Clarity Act establishes clear guardrails and transparency, helping create new opportunities to achieve the American Dream. Clarity for digital assets and your future.

1/ Today we announce our acquisition of Messari. Our mission is to bring trust and transparency to onchain markets. This acquisition accelerates that mission.

Flagging this because I don’t think it got enough attention in policy circles: YC is saying EVERY one of their startups will use crypto, soon. Folks need to excise thoughts that this issue doesn’t matter from their minds.
