UNI is now the first DeFi protocol token with futures on CME Group, per Uniswap's official announcement. CME plans to list cash-settled UNI futures — standard contracts of 10,000 UNI and Micro contracts of 1,000 UNI — with the launch slated for October 19, pending regulatory review.
The listing puts Uniswap's governance token on the same regulated derivatives rail as Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and XRP, giving institutional investors a regulated venue to gain exposure to the protocol's token.

Uniswap's VolatilePair Hook is live on Ethereum mainnet, launching with an ETH/USDC pool. Instead of one static fee, the hook sets a fee for each side of the trade and shifts both with the market, letting LPs keep more of the value they create. Developer docs for the hook are now live via Uniswap Builders.
LPs can provide liquidity now on the Uniswap Web App. VolatilePair joins StablePair, Permissioned Pools, and LitePSM in Uniswap's v4 hook lineup, with more hooks on the roadmap.
Uniswap's latest ecosystem newsletter recaps a week of launches and volume milestones. OUSD, Open Standard's payments stablecoin, is live with Uniswap as a key execution layer — millions in liquidity from day one, with a v4 hook that pays OUSD rewards to LPs in the works. Tokenized stocks did $20.9B in DEX volume over 30 days, 40.7% through Uniswap v4, while Uniswap has processed $70B in volume on Robinhood Chain and $300M+ in tokenized-equity volume on Base.

The Uniswap API is now integrated into the Robinhood Crypto Wallet, giving wallet users direct access to deeper liquidity and competitive pricing for their trades, per Uniswap's developer team.

The token is supported by 200+ partners including Visa, Mastercard, Coinbase, and Stripe, with millions in liquidity from day one as Uniswap joins the network as a critical execution layer.
