Major upgrade coming to Uniswap

The Uniswap Foundation plans to register its DAO as a legal entity under Wyoming’s new DUNA DAO framework.

Goal: legally enable the protocol fee switch and strengthen governance capabilities.

What this means:

The DAO will be able to officially sign contracts and defend itself in court.

$16.5M in UNI will be allocated for taxes and legal protection.

A portion of liquidity pool fees will go to the DAO treasury, but fee income will not be directly distributed to UNI token holders.

The number of Google search queries for "altcoins" has risen to its highest level in four years.

Bitcoin has now been in a “bull market” for 1,000 days, meaning a phase of growth and investor confidence — Cryptorank

⚖️ Crypto Regulation Issues in Spain

➥ A Spanish investor was ordered to pay a €9,000,000 tax bill for a regular DeFi operation.

➥ The case is controversial: he only pledged tokens as collateral for a loan, without realizing any profit or withdrawing funds.

➥ Appeals are nearly impossible — the investor must pay upfront, and the legal process can drag on for up to 8 years.

➥ Lawyers call this practice unlawful, warning that it poses growing risks for all crypto investors in Spain.

By 2028, the stablecoin market is expected to grow to $1.2 trillion. This, in turn, could translate into weekly demand for U.S. government bonds of $5.3 billion — Coinbase report

🇺🇸 In early August, Trump authorized the inclusion of cryptocurrency in 401(k) retirement plans — according to Bitwise estimates , this could bring up to $122 billion into digital assets and push Bitcoin above $200,000 as early as 2025.

The UAE government holds over $700,000,000 in BTC — Arkham

The UAE is now a Top-4 Bitcoin holder among nations. A total of 6,333 BTC was acquired through mining by Citadel Mining.

A record $4.7 billion worth of Ethereum (1.03 million ETH) has been withdrawn from staking.

▪️Since July 15, withdrawals from Ethereum staking have accelerated, with the exit queue surpassing 1 million ETH. At the same time, staking inflows have also remained high since late May — as of August 28, about 753,000 ETH (nearly $3.5 billion) had been deposited.

▪️Ethereum’s architecture does not allow instant mass deposits or withdrawals from staking. Instead, both operations are subject to strict limits. When those limits are exceeded, transactions are placed in a queue — as reflected in the chart.

Bitcoin could rise to $160,000 by the end of this year – according to analyst Timothy Peterson.

Historically, BTC has a 70% probability of growth during the four months leading up to Christmas (average return = 44%).

The U.S. is turning stablecoins into a “capital vacuum.”

Key points from Arthur Hayes’ essay

▪️ U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is the new “Buffalo Bill.” His goal is to destroy eurodollars (dollar deposits outside the U.S., ~ $10–13T) and shift deposits into stablecoins.

▪️ Eurodollars don’t buy U.S. government bonds. Stablecoins, however, are required to hold reserves in T-bills → automatic demand for U.S. debt.

▪️ WhatsApp/Instagram could distribute dollar wallets to billions of users. Central banks lose control over the money supply.

▪️ Stablecoins will become part of Pax Americana (“American World Order”) and trigger the biggest bull run in DeFi history.

New gifts for September 1 have been released, and the new method of combating reseller bots has proven to be the most effective.

In addition, such gifts cannot be sent to a channel — this method was previously used to sell gifts before they were upgraded.

It’s reported that attackers have started adding “upgrades” to other people’s gifts and then requesting a refund of the stars, which causes the upgraded gift to disappear.

Solution: hide unupgraded gifts.
