The proposal seeks to move Uniswap Foundation employees to Uniswap Labs under a shared goal of accelerating protocol growth, including the elimination of the Uniswap interface fee. UNIfication will activate protocol fees starting with v2 pools, then gradually expanding to v3, v4, and UniswapX. It also introduces Protocol Fee Discount Auctions (PFDA), which are auctions for “no-fee swap rights,” with proceeds also going toward the UNI burn. The proposal will also direct surplus Unichain sequencer fees to burn UNI tokens and allocate 100 million UNI from the treasury toward a retroactive UNI token burn. The initiative aims to establish Uniswap as the default DEX for all tokenized value. Adams noted that a previously hostile U.S. regulatory climate delayed such a proposal for years. Following the announcement, UNI’s price surged 17%, rising from about $7.46 to over $9. The UNIfication proposal will go live for a temperature check vote on Snapshot later this month.Treasury Guidance On Staked ETPsThe U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have issued new guidance for staked crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs). The guidance provides a safe harbor for investment trusts that stake digital assets without losing their classification as investment or grantor trusts. The rule applies only to digital assets on permissionless proof-of-stake (PoS) networks. It becomes effective for tax years ending on or after November 10, 2025. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says new guidance aims to keep America as the global leader in digital assets.
