Episode notes
US Clears Staking Path For ETPs
- US Treasury and IRS guidance clears a path for ETPs to stake and share rewards with retail investors.
- This could materially boost demand for stakeable assets like ETH and SOL and spur product innovation.
Uniswap Fee Switch And Token Alignment
- Hayden Adams proposed turning on Uniswap protocol fees and using 0.05% for buybacks and burns of UNI.
- The plan also burns 100M UNI and adds fee-discount auctions and aggregator hooks to grow protocol alignment.
Fee Switch Could Generate Major Revenue
- Annualized Uniswap fee revenue (~$2.8B) implies the 0.05% burn could generate ~ $38M per 30 days.
- That revenue would rank Uniswap among top crypto revenue producers and benefit UNI holders materially.
