Uniswap2026-09-25 20:02:04Uniswap founder Hayden says token buybacks do not turn commodity tokens into securitiesUniswap founder Hayden said in a post on X that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's crypto asset FAQ released that day makes two points clear. First, token buybacks do not cause commodity tokens to be treated as securities. Second, liquid staking tokens tied to commodity tokens are also not securities. His comments were framed as a response to the SEC's same-day guidance in its frequently asked questions on crypto assets. The statement focused on how the agency described buybacks and liquid staking tokens in relation to securities status, without adding details beyond what Hayden cited from the FAQ.250
Uniswap2026-09-08 01:44:21Hayden says UNI annualized burn value rose to about $263 million over the past 7 daysUniswap founder Hayden said in a post on X that UNI’s annualized burn value, based on the token’s burn pace over the past seven days, has moved above $250 million and reached about $263 million. The figure was presented as an annualized calculation derived from the most recent seven-day burn rate. No other details were disclosed in the post cited by Odaily.760
Uniswap2026-09-03 17:29:02Uniswap Founder Hayden: Correlation Trading Pairs Emerging, AMM on Path to Global DominanceUniswap founder Hayden Adams tweeted on X about the emergence of correlation trading pairs in tokenized markets. He noted that the top five tokenized SPY trading pairs act as 'bridge' pairs connecting common base pairs, and then primarily connect highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7. Hayden, who has worked at the forefront of DeFi for nine years, believes AMMs have immense potential. He stated that the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming clearer. Uniswap, which has been operating autonomously since launch, has processed over $4.6 trillion in cumulative trading volume and increased DEX spot trading volume share from less than 1% to over 20%. AMMs have found product-market fit in long-tail assets, as most assets previously lacked professional market making. DeFi and AMMs lower market-making barriers, enabling more participants. Liquidity will concentrate where risk is lowest, rather than being constrained by traditional infrastructure.860

Uniswap2026-08-12 20:58:37Uniswap Moves Test-Token Creator Fees to Auto Buyback-and-Burn ContractHayden, the founder of Uniswap, said in a post on X that his team had not expected tokens created during the pools.trade test phase to be discovered. He said Uniswap has now given up all creator fees generated by employees during that testing period and has moved those fees into an automated buyback-and-burn contract. Hayden also said the team is considering turning the mechanism into a feature that other deployers can use. The post specifically refers to tokens created during the pools.trade testing period. Under the new arrangement, the creator fees from those test tokens have been redirected into the buyback-and-burn contract. Hayden did not provide additional details about the timing of the feature or how the contract is structured. The announcement came on the same day the fees were waived, according to the post, and leaves open whether the option will be offered more broadly. The development marks a shift from the earlier setup, where creator fees from employee testing had not been expected to surface. Uniswap's move shows how the project is handling unforeseen creator fees associated with test tokens. No further information about the amounts involved was disclosed in the post.1620

Uniswap has relinquished all creator fees generated during employee testing and moved them into an automated buyback-and-burn contract. Hayden said the team is now weighing whether to offer the mechanism as a feature for other deployers.1560
Uniswap2026-08-06 21:58:19Uniswap Founder Hayden Plans to Add Auto-Compounding LP Positions to RoadmapUniswap founder Hayden announced on X that the technical design for auto-compounding liquidity is his personal contribution to the platform pools.trade. The design works by having liquidity positions deposited into a smart contract. The core rule is that any person can withdraw the full amount of unclaimed fees attached to a given position, but only on the condition that they increase the size of that liquidity position by 0.2%. Consequently, fees accumulate over time. When the value of accumulated fees exceeds 0.2% of the liquidity in the position, searchers receive a natural financial incentive to add that 0.2% in liquidity to the pool and then collect the fees. This mechanism is based on the Uniswap token jar concept, and Hayden noted it can also be applied to automatically compound ordinary Uniswap LP positions. For that reason, he said, he will be adding the feature to the project's roadmap.1790

Meanwhile, Pools.trade has recorded $150 million in trading volume before its official launch. The platform remains in beta, with traffic far exceeding expectations. Some UI refinements are still needed but fixes are expected soon.1890
