Uniswap has introduced Launches (in beta), a new tab in the Uniswap Web App that aggregates top token launches from various launchpads into a single feed. The feature aims to simplify discovery for traders while boosting distribution for projects building on Uniswap.

Over 340,000 new tokens launched into Uniswap across Robinhood launchpads in July alone, generating ＄3.6 billion in trading volume. Users can filter by launchpad or sort by 24-hour volume, liquidity, recently launched, or trending. The initial rollout focuses on Robinhood Chain, with support for additional networks planned.Launches creates a direct channel between token teams and traders, allowing projects to reach new users as soon as they land liquidity on Uniswap. Launchpad builders interested in integration can reach out through the platform's partnership form.

SK Hynix perpetual futures suffer flash crash on Hyperliquid

Between 23:00 UTC and 23:01 UTC on July 28, perpetual futures tracking SK Hynix on Hyperliquid crashed 20% to ＄900 before rebounding to over ＄1,000 the next minute. The contract, traded and denominated in USDC, tracks the South Korean chipmaker whose American depositary receipts debuted on Nasdaq earlier this month.

The disruption began after South Korea's alternative exchange, NextTrade, opened its pre-market session where one SK Hynix share changed hands at 1.272 million won, 29.96% below the previous close. Trade.xyz operates the market under Hyperliquid's HIP-3 framework, which allows independent teams to launch perpetual markets while using the network's order books and liquidation engine.

Trade.xyz is investigating the incident and has committed to compensation for affected users. There is no evidence that Hyperliquid's blockchain or smart contracts were compromised; available information points to an external market print passing through Trade.xyz's pricing methodology.
