Heads up: Uniswap’s latest governance push around fee switches isn’t just “token value talk.” It’s a stress test for DEX decentralization: who controls revenue, how delegates coordinate, and whether LPs get predictable economics. If this passes clean, expect other DEXs to copy the playbook. Bullish or overhyped?

Uniswap $UNI launches seven AI modules to boost DeFi automated trading. Uniswap Labs has unveiled seven open-source artificial intelligence modules designed to enable AI-driven agents to manage key decentralized exchange operations on its platform. The update aims to simplify how automated agents interact with the protocol while improving execution standards. By reducing coding barriers, limiting failed transactions, and providing stricter control over slippage, the framework makes AI-powered trading more reliable and efficient.

🟠Crypto Week (23/02/2026) – @ascencripto 🗓 Weekly events impacting the crypto asset market 1️⃣ Crypto Updates 💸 • Uniswap (UNI) — 23/02: voting closes on expanding the activation of protocol fees (“fee switch”/fee capture) to more pools/networks. Focus on the revenue‑story effect for the DAO versus impact on LP yields and the market’s reaction to explicit “monetization.” • NEAR Protocol (NEAR) — 23/02: NEARCON kicks off (23–24/02). A key event for announcements and ecosystem direction, with potential to boost attention flow and volatility in NEAR and related projects. • Jupiter (JUP): proposal to reduce net emissions to zero has been approved. The market is likely to reprice a “structural supply relief,” but the short‑term net effect depends on the execution timeline and sell‑pressure behavior around unlocks. • Structure: the week continues with macro beta dominant. With long‑term rates and the dollar as a liquidity channel, the market prioritizes systemic risk and reduces positive asymmetry in altcoins, while remaining highly sensitive to any leverage stress (CeFi/DeFi). 2️⃣ Macro‑Economic Outlook 📊 • US — 24/02: Consumer Confidence. A quick gauge of slowdown or resilience. • Eurozone — 25/02: HICP (Harmonised Inflation). Relevant for rate expectations and risk premium. • US — 26/02: Jobless Claims. High‑frequency data that moves cycle pricing. • Japan — 26/02: Tokyo Core CPI. Keeps the radar on BoJ normalization and can affect global financial conditions via carry trade. • Brazil — 26–27/02: IGP‑M (indexation/inflation noise) and IPCA‑15 + CAGED (inflation and activity). Relevant for the local curve, but external drivers remain dominant. • US — 27/02: PPI (Producer Price Index). A trigger for long‑term rates and the dollar via cost inflation. 3️⃣ Token Unlocks 🔓 • Jupiter (JUP) — 28/02: 253.47 M JUP (≈ US$36 M; ≈ 3.7 % of total supply). • Sui (SUI) — 01/03: 43.35 M SUI (≈ $40 M; ~1.13 % of circulating supply). #crypto #bitcoin #near #ethereum #solana #criptomoedas
