Uniswap recently announced V4. It is an upgraded version of the exchange, designed to provide enhanced flexibility and capital efficiency for traders. With V4 it is introducing a new kind of smart contract called “hooks,” which allow developers to expand upon already existing liquidity pools. In addition to this, V4 pools will live in a single contract, reducing the cost of pool creation by 99%.

Invesco and WisdomTree are also seeking approval to launch spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US, joining BlackRock in their efforts.

Invesco and BlackRock say that a surveillance sharing agreement with a regulated market would reduce the risk of manipulation. The SEC has cited market manipulation as a reason for rejecting previous Bitcoin ETF applications. The SEC hasn't said when it will make a decision on the latest applications.

If approved, a spot Bitcoin ETF would make it easier for investors to buy and sell Bitcoin.

FTX's advisors' filings on June 15 revealed that fees and expenses from February 1 to April 30 amounted to $121.8 million, as reported by The Block Research.
