Uniswap Proposes Fee Activation, Neutrl Labs Launches Stablecoin, Ethereum Leads Stablecoin Flows, and more...
Launches 🚀
Neutrl has launched, introducing $NUSD—a synthetic dollar that grants access to institutional-grade OTC opportunities and delta-neutral yield. The protocol’s core strategy centers on OTC arbitrage, capturing yield from discounted private-market deals while fully hedging exposure. Users can mint and stake $NUSD for $sNUSD to earn real yield and Neutrl Points via the Origin Program by holding, locking, or providing liquidity.
Pre-deposit participants received upNUSD airdrops representing their vault shares, while a new ZK-verified transparency dashboard ensures $NUSD’s full collateralization.
A new ZK-powered transparency dashboard by AccountableData verifies that $NUSD is fully collateralized, with roughly 10% of reserves in OTC arbitrage and the remainder in stable assets like USDC, USDT, USDS, and USDe.

Updates 📰
Monad announced its public token sale—the first ever hosted on Coinbase—running from November 17 to 22 and open to over 80 countries including the U.S. The sale will offer 7.5% of the total MON supply, priced at $0.025 per token, with a $100K participation cap. MON will serve as Monad’s native token for transaction fees and network staking, launching with a 100B total supply.
About 49.4% of tokens will be unlocked at mainnet, including 7.5B for the public sale, 3.3B from the airdrop, and 38.5B for ecosystem development, while the remaining 50.6%—allocated to team, investors, and treasury—will vest over four years.
The U.S. Treasury and IRS have issued new guidance allowing crypto ETPs to stake digital assets and distribute rewards to investors under a new “safe harbor” framework. The move provides long-awaited regulatory and tax clarity for staking assets like Ethereum and Solana, potentially accelerating institutional adoption. To qualify, trusts must hold a single proof-of-stake asset, maintain independent custody and staking providers, and operate solely to hold, stake, and redeem tokens.
Jupiter announced its integration with Robinhood Wallet, enabling users to explore, swap, and trade SPL tokens directly through Robinhood using Jupiter’s Ultra API for best-in-class execution. The feature is now live on the Robinhood app, expanding Solana ecosystem access to a broader user base.
Resolv Foundation completed its weekly buyback, purchasing 90,000 $RESOLV for $10,000 at an average price of $0.11. The buyback was funded by 20% of core protocol fees generated during the week, continuing the project’s ongoing fee-backed value accrual strategy.

Upcoming ⏳
Uniswap founder Hayden Adams proposed activating protocol fees and introducing a UNI burn to align ecosystem incentives. The plan routes protocol and Unichain sequencer fees to burn UNI, retroactively burns 100M UNI, and adds fee discount auctions and aggregator hooks in v4.
Labs will cease collecting interface and wallet fees, refocusing entirely on protocol growth to strengthen Uniswap’s position as the leading decentralized exchange.
Stables Labs announced a Restoration Arrangement following USDX’s deviation from its reference value amid liquidity and liquidation pressures. The initiative aims to provide affected holders with a recovery path referenced to $1, funded based on available resources. The process includes an on-chain snapshot and registration window, phased public updates based on liquidity and recovery progress, and a commitment to transparency via official channels only.
The team emphasized that the arrangement is voluntary and not a redemption guarantee or deposit product.
Balancer Labs proposed a governance proposal to deprecate v2 stable pools and transition all liquidity to Balancer v3, citing precautionary measures following recent events. The team emphasized that v3 remains fully operational and unaffected, describing the move as preventive to ensure long-term protocol stability.
Liquidity providers are encouraged to migrate to v3, which will become the exclusive version for new pool creation.
