Odaily News Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that correlated trading pairs are emerging. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by volume are "bridge" pairs connecting other common base pairs, which then primarily link to highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7.Uniswap founder Hayden said on X:.I've been working at the frontier of DeFi for 9 years. It's a fascinating field with infinite depth and the potential to transform capital markets.I've always believed AMMs hold immense potential, but for the past decade, one question has persisted: Can this novel market structure truly become the core engine for all financial markets?After years of evolution and development, the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. To explain this, we need to start in 1976.Tokenization Changes Market Makers.Index funds celebrated their 50th anniversary this month. When Jack Bogle launched the index fund in 1976, he hoped to raise $150 million but ultimately raised only $11.3 million. Competitors called it "Bogle's Folly," posting posters claiming index funds were un-American. They argued that a fund making no decisions couldn't possibly beat professionals paid to make decisions. Today, the majority of US fund assets are allocated to passive investment vehicles.I've been thinking about this recently because tokenization's "folly moment" is ending. The SEC has approved NASDAQ and the NYSE to trade tokenized stocks. DTCC, which handles virtually all US securities settlement, also conducted a live pilot of tokenized trades in July. Nearly all related activity is described the same way: treating tokenization as an infrastructure upgrade.The same markets, faster, cheaper, and always open. These statements are all true, but I believe the infrastructure upgrade framework obscures a larger change. Tokenization makes markets programmable, changing how markets exist, who makes markets, and what is traded.In 2018, I created Uniswap, an automated market maker protocol. Anyone can deposit two assets into a shared liquidity pool and earn fees from every trade, while prices adjust along a curve as users buy and sell. Uniswap has operated autonomously since its launch, processing over $4.6 trillion in cumulative volume and increasing DEX spot volume share from under 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern most financial markets haven't noticed yet: correlated trading pairs.The Easiest Place to Find Success.To succeed everywhere, you must first succeed somewhere. AMMs found product-market fit in long-tail markets because most assets previously couldn't attract professional market makers' attention. On Uniswap, anyone can create a market with a single transaction, and issuers and early supporters can become the first liquidity providers.Then came stablecoin pairs. Take USDC/USDT, for example. A good passive strategy can approach optimal l
According to official announcements, Mantle has announced that USDG, a US dollar stablecoin issued by Paxos, has officially launched, becoming one of the first native stablecoins on the Mantle network. This integration establishes Mantle as a partner of the Global Dollar Network (GDN). Mantle will directly participate in GDN's reward-sharing mechanism, standing alongside over 150 partners, including Robinhood and Kraken, to drive user growth. As one of the few stablecoins subject to dual regulation under both the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the European Union's MiCA framework, USDG currently has a circulating value exceeding $3.5 billion. One of Mantle's missions is to introduce more institutional-grade assets, including tokenized equities, yield-bearing stablecoins, and tokenized funds, thereby providing borderless investment access for everyone. The integration of USDG will further advance Mantle's development into an open financial network bridging institutional players and users. According to reports, the addition of USDG further enriches Mantle's existing portfolio of institutional-grade assets, which includes Agora's AUSD, Ethena's USDe, Ondo's USDY, and Tether's USDT0, among others. Over the past year, Mantle's stablecoin TVL has surpassed $982 million, with RWA T
