Uniswap (UNI)

Woke up extremely bullish on DeFi and Ethereum today Uniswap launched in the 2018 bear, when Ethereum sentiment was at all time lows Uniswap and other defi projects relentlessly built through that bear market and proved how powerful Ethereum can be, catalyzing defi summer and everything since Now vibes are down bad again and Uniswap intends to build our way out of it. Last time it was by proving defi is possible. This time it will be by proving defi is inevitable. The internet brought two disruptive changes: existing businesses moving onto the internet, and the formation of new internet-native businesses The same duality will exist for defi: the tokenization of all existing assets, and a growing vibrant economy of crypto native assets. And it’s all happening right now, with more and more assets being brought onchain, increasing the value and productivity of crypto native assets. As this digital economy grows, Defi is being integrated everywhere - payment processors, brokerage accounts, asset issuers. It

1/ Today, we’re excited to share that @Uniswap is using Privy to power its new in-app wallet experience. Create a self-custodial wallet in seconds with a passkey. No seed phrases, no extensions, or separate wallet setup required. https://t.co/fX14JOkZzi

Airdrops as we know them are over. Giving tokens away to build a holder base has mostly created sellers. Across the largest airdrops, between 78% and 94% of recipient wallets had sold off most of their allocation by day 90. People cite Hyperliquid and Jito as proof airdrops can work, but neither succeeded because of the airdrop. Hyperliquid had over $1B in revenue funding buybacks that soaked up the selling from recipients. Jito’s eligible cohort was small enough to avoid industrial farming. Token economics are starting to require real protocol performance. MegaETH locked 53% of its supply behind performance targets. Pendle routes roughly 80% of revenue into buybacks for stakers. Token distribution is moving from handouts to performance.

Yesterday, we ran what may be the first DeFi borrowing transaction ever conducted on Capitol Hill. Senate staffers watched it settle onchain in real time without an intermediary. This is the kind of transparent system the CLARITY Act envisions. We put on the demo alongside @uniswap and @base, organized by the @BlockchainAssn and sponsored by the @fund_defi . The point was to show policymakers what the technology already does, and why the certainty the CLARITY Act provides matters for building digital finance responsibly. We're grateful to every partner involved, and for the Congress' engagement on what comes next. @DeFiSpartan
