🚀 First Arbitrum Token Hits Binance Alpha

Rainbow is partnering with Arrakis for their $RNBW token launch on Uniswap using a Concentrated Collateral Auction (CCA) mechanism. **Key Details:** - CCA will handle initial price discovery and seed the pool with full-range liquidity - Arrakis Pro will concentrate liquidity in active trading zones to reduce slippage - The permissionless auction starts February 2nd, with token launch on February 5th - 100% of auction proceeds automatically convert to onchain liquidity for $RNBW The partnership aims to create deeper markets and better trading conditions for the Rainbow token from launch day.

**The Problem with AMMs and RWAs** Automated Market Makers (AMMs) face challenges when handling real-world assets (RWAs) like foreign exchange, stocks, and yield-bearing tokens. These assets derive their prices from offchain sources, causing pool prices to drift and quotes to become stale while waiting for arbitrage that often doesn't materialize. **Arrakis' Solution** - **Price Convergence** keeps liquidity pool prices programmatically aligned with real-world values - Eliminates reliance on arbitrage for price accuracy - Provides accurate onchain pricing for RWAs **Deployment** The solution will launch on [Centrifuge](https://centrifuge.io) and [DGLD](https://dgld.ch), addressing a fundamental infrastructure gap in DeFi's handling of tokenized real-world assets.

**Arrakis Pro** now manages $IXS liquidity on Uniswap, creating deeper and more efficient markets for the IxsFinance ecosystem on Ethereum. **Key developments:** - IXS serves as the Institutional Exchange Settlement Layer - Provides licensed blockchain and tokenization infrastructure - Powers compliant adoption of institutional Real World Assets (RWAs) **Token mechanics:** - Stronger liquidity for IXS utility token - Built for long-term value through automated buybacks and burns - Enhanced market stability without relying on external capital This follows Arrakis Pro's modular approach to liquidity management, previously deployed for projects like The Sandbox on Base.

**Coinbase's DEX routing beta is reshaping retail flow distribution** Since launch, Coinbase has onboarded **5% of users** to Base's DeFi ecosystem, routing $210k daily across 720 transactions. **Key metrics:** - 2,654 unique onchain markets vs 458 on Coinbase CEX - Uniswap leads with 40% share, followed by Aerodrome (25%) and PancakeSwap (25%) - Token mix includes memecoins, creator tokens, and Base-native experiments **Why it matters:** - AMMs handle long-tail assets CEX order books can't support - Yield-bearing stables exist only onchain, making Base a natural liquidity hub - Coinbase Borrow processes $30M weekly, aggregating DeFi credit primitives **The bigger picture:** Base is becoming Coinbase's execution and liquidity layer, creating a blueprint for CeFi-DeFi convergence into unified market structure.
