South Korean exchange Bithumb announced the designation of Fetch (FET), MultiversX (EGLD) and Across Protocol (ACX) for its delisting watchlist. The exchange said EGLD was designated after it confirmed a risk of user harm or potential user harm, taking into account cases in which a security incident such as a hack had occurred involving a virtual-asset wallet managed by the asset, its issuer or operator, or a distributed ledger where the asset is issued, transmitted or stored, and where the cause had not been identified or the issue had not been remedied.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams said FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried previously spent at least $1 million to buy the Uniswap.com domain and redirect it to another exchange built by copying Uniswap’s code, according to BeInCrypto. Adams said Uniswap had also considered acquiring the domain at the time but dropped the idea because the price was too high. SBF later bought it, Adams said. Uniswap then took legal action over what it viewed as malicious use of the domain and ultimately recovered it at no cost. The domain now points to Uniswap’s official website.

Pendle, a DeFi yield tokenization protocol, said it has changed PT principal token looping fees to an automatic adjustment model set at around 10% of looping APY, with the maximum fee capped at 10 basis points, or 0.1%. PT looping automatically repeats the process of borrowing assets against PT as collateral, buying more PT, and posting it again as collateral to increase investment size. The project said the change will reduce fee burdens versus the previous structure when PT is nearing maturity or APY is low.

Hyperliquid said on X it has introduced a trailing stop feature for its perpetual futures market. A trailing stop moves the trigger price as the market moves in favor of a position, then automatically submits a market order if the price reverses by a preset amount or percentage. For a long position, the trigger price rises each time the mark price, the exchange reference price used for futures profit and loss calculations and liquidation thresholds, sets a new high. The order is executed if the price later falls by the preset amount or percentage from that peak. For a short position, the trigger price moves lower each time the mark price sets a new low. Users can also set a separate price at which trailing begins; if no such price is set, tracking starts immediately from the current mark price.
