They’re leaning all the way in. 📌 What Happened Robinhoodannouncedan expansion of its prediction markets offering, adding new NFL player-performance contracts alongside traditional game outcomes. Users can now trade on events like touchdowns and yardage totals, beyond just winners and spreads. The company also introduced “preset combo” contracts, which bundle multiple outcomes from a single game into one trade that only pays out if all conditions are met - effectively a parlay-style product. Robinhood said custom-built combos, where users create their own bundled outcomes, are planned for rollout in 2026. The firm also framed prediction markets as a standalone product line, pointing to a growing hub with thousands of live contracts across sports, politics, economics, and cultural events. And they noted that it’s their fastest-growing revenue line. 🗣️ What They’re Saying “Robinhood is ushering in a new era in which AI and prediction markets will come together to change the future of finance and news.” “I believe we’re at the very beginning of a prediction market supercycle and as it progresses, we should expect to see adoption and volumes continuing to grow, potentially into the trillions of contracts traded each year.”- Vlad Tenev, Robinhood CEO “Robinhood and Coinbase going hard on Prediction Markets and every major company looking to adopt one or build a strategy around them.” - Farokh Sarmad, President and Co-Founder of Myriad “Some people have already started to realize that using prediction markets can be cheaper than conventional fire, flood, and hurricane insurance.” - Vlad, Robinhood pic.twitter.com/mSSDvJqUVs — coughdrop (@CoughdropPeter) December 17, 2025 🧠 Why It Matters Prediction markets are clearly booming. What’s missing is deep liquidity, distribution, and scale. Power players like Robinhood leaning in can help solve those issues. A lot of innovative use cases of prediction markets (i.e. insurance, hedging against bad weather, etc.) are great in theory but not operationally possible right now due to limited market size. Once these markets are more mature, with more players and deeper liquidity, these kinds of use cases can be unlocked. So everyone who is pro-prediction market should be cheering this on. Robinhood shareholders should be cheering this on as well, as the stock popped 3% on the news of their prediction market direction (on a red day) and has jumped 20% since their original announcement. Robinhood is clearly betting on a prediction market supercycle—let’s see if they can help manifest it into reality… amp;amp;lt;span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="width:0px;overflow:hidden;line-height:0" class="mce_SELRES_start"amp;amp;gt;amp;amp;lt;/spanamp;amp;gt; 🌎 Macro Crypto and Memes A few Crypto and Web3 headlines that caught my eye: Crypto majorswere mixed;BTC+0.3% at $87,400; ETH -2% at $2,870; BNB -2% at $838, SOL -3% at $124 BEAT (+26%), Pippin (+9%) and CC (+4%)led top movers Coinbaseannouncedseveral new products last night, including prediction markets, stock trading, equity perps, AI advisors, borrowing, full DEX integration and more Senatorsproposedthe SAFE Crypto Act, creating a federal task force to coordinate agencies on crypto scam enforcement and investor protection The DTCCsaid it will issue tokenized securitieson Canton Network, starting with tokenized U.S. Treasuries Ex-Alameda CEO Caroline Ellisonleft federal prisonafter 11 months, moving to another government facility or home confinement to serve the rest of her 2-year sentence The acting CFTC Chair Caroline Phamleft to join MoonPayas its chief legal and administrative office Citadel and other big banksare planning to spend $100Min the 2026 midterms, potentially opposing pro-crypto spending Circleannouncedits Arc Builders Fund, meant to support early-stage teams building apps and services on Arc In Corporate Treasuries / ETFs The Bitcoin ETFssaw $457M in net inflowson Wednesday, the most in over a month Hut 8sharesjumpedafter the miner announced a $7B AI/data-center deal involving Google financing In Memes / Onchain Movers Memecoin leadersare mostly red;DOGE -2%, Shiba -5%, PEPE -4%, PENGU -6%, BONK -5%, TRUMP -2%, SPX -8%, and FARTCOIN -22% dydxannounced a partnershipwith Bonk to launch Bonk DEX 67(+86%), ALCH (+20%) and ACT (+25%) led top movers 💰 Token, Airdrop Protocol Tracker Here’s a rundown of major token, protocol and airdrop news from the day: The Rainbow Walletteamshared new detailson its class F token structure, solving the issue of tokens not equating to equity (ICO ends today) Football dot Funreachedtheir ICO soft cap of $3M yesterday ahead of today’s ICO closing Gondiintroduced new trade combinationsacross token types Uniswapsubmitted its proposalfor governance vote to burn 100M UNI and turn on fee switch Hyperlendannounced its airdrop terms and conditionsahead of its airdrop, with eligible participants on a 30-day clock to accept to qualify Solsticeannouncedits ICO coming on Legion on Dec 22 🚚 What is happening in NFTs?

Uniswap price eyes gains above $5.20 after bouncing off lows of $4.87. Gains come as the Uniswap community prepares to vote on a key governance proposal. The vote could see 100 million UNI burned in the coming days. Uniswap’s governance token has witnessed a slight price surge as traders position ahead of a potential network burn of 100 million UNI tokens. This move, tied to the recently proposed “Unification” governance vote, seems to have sparked optimism among investors, with UNI seeing a notable spike in trading volume over the past 24 hours. The gains for Uniswap come after a recent slump and amid broader market weakness that has altcoins mirroring Bitcoin’s struggles. Uniswap price eyes gains above $5.20 At the time of writing on Thursday, December 18, 2025, Uniswap’s price hovered around $5.24. Intraday gains stood at nearly 4% as bulls looked to bounce off lows of $4.87. This uptick comes on the heels of a recent sell-off below $5.40, which came amid Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s selling of 1,400 UNI tokens. Initial pressure on the token’s value pushed it to $4.99. Bulls bounced to $5.30 as Bitcoin showed a sharp uptick earlier in the week. UNI price chart by CoinMarketCap However, the market appears to have shrugged off this uptick as selling pressure resumed and prices plunged to under $4.90. Now UNI is eyeing a potential bounce as buying interest resurfaces. The token’s ability to recover and eye gains above the $5.20 support level will likely strengthen as the community weighs a new governance vote on fees and the potential token burn. Uniswap poised for 100 million UNI burn As noted, one potential catalyst for UNI’s price gains lies in the “Unification” proposal. Hayden Adams, Uniswap founder, submitted a governance proposal for voting on December 18, 2025. As detailed in his X post, the voting period is scheduled to commence on December 19 at 10:30 PM EST and will conclude on December 25, allowing the Uniswap community to decide the protocol’s future. If the proposal garners the required votes in favour, it will pass. There’s a two-day time lock period before Uniswap executes its token burn. Specifically, the proposal looks at the removal of 100 million UNI out of circulation. The key is the flipping of the fee switches for v2 and v3 pools on the mainnet. “v2 + v3 fee switches will flip on mainnet and begin burning UNI, along with Unichain fees,” Hayden noted. As the community prepares to vote, the outcome of this proposal could mark a pivotal moment for the Uniswap price. The token traded at highs of $7.70 in mid-November.

UNI holders are watching governance, not charts. Uniswap is ticking higher as attention shifts to a high-stakes vote that could reshape the token’s supply story. $UNI is hovering just above the $5 zone while the market waits on a decision with real long-term implications. The UNIfication proposal has entered its final voting window, putting a 100M token burn and fee switch activation on the table. If approved, it would introduce direct deflation pressure and change how value flows back to holders. Technically, price is still compressing near key support. RSI hints at a possible relief bounce, but broader momentum remains cautious with market sentiment stuck in extreme fear. This isn’t a hype move. It’s a governance-driven moment that could quietly reset how UNI is valued going forward.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has submitted the long-anticipated UNIfication proposal for a final governance vote, setting up a decision window that runs from Dec. 19 through Dec. 25. In a post on X early Thursday, Adams urged delegates to participate ahead of the holiday deadline. "Vote before Christmas or end up on Santa's naughty list," he wrote. The vote follows a request for comment proposal from Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation last month and could mark a significant shift for the protocol and its token holders, who have long pushed for a so-called "fee switch" that would divert a portion of trading fees from liquidity providers to the protocol. The proposal follows years in which the authors said legal battles and a hostile U.S. regulatory environment under former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler discouraged activating protocol fees, conditions they argue have now changed. If approved, the proposal would take effect following a two-day timelock and execute a series of onchain actions designed to restructure how value flows through the Uniswap ecosystem. These include an immediate retroactive burn of 100 million UNI from the treasury (an estimate of what might have been burned if the protocol fee switch had been active at token launch), the activation of protocol fee switches on Uniswap v2 and v3 on Ethereum mainnet, and the routing of Unichain sequencer fees into the same UNI burn mechanism. Fee activation for Uniswap v4 would be addressed through a separate governance proposal, Adams said. Uniswap has been one of the best-performing DeFi protocols in 2025, generating nearly $100 million in monthly fees on average and over $1 billion year-to-date, according to The Block's data dashboard. Fee switch rollout Protocol fees would be rolled out gradually to minimize disruption, according to the proposal, beginning with Uniswap v2 pools and a selected set of v3 pools that account for 80% to 95% of LP fees on Ethereum mainnet. On v2, activating the fee switch would reduce liquidity provider fees from 0.3% to 0.25%, with the remaining 0.05% directed to the protocol. On v3, protocol fees would be set as fractions of LP fees, initially one-quarter for 0.01% and 0.05% pools and one-sixth for 0.30% and 1% pools, with governance able to adjust the parameters over time. Under the proposal, Unichain sequencer fees would also be routed to the UNI burn mechanism after Layer 1 data costs and a 15% allocation to Optimism. Unichain, which launched about nine months ago, is currently processing roughly $100 billion in annualized decentralized exchange volume and about $7.5 million in annualized sequencer fees, the team said. The rollout could later expand to Layer 2s, other Layer 1s, Uniswap v4, UniswapX, PFDA — which is designed to route certain MEV (maximal extractable value) to the protocol — and aggregator hooks, the authors wrote. Beyond fee activation, the UNIfication proposal outlines a broader reorganization of the Uniswap ecosystem. This includes contractual agreements intended to align Uniswap Labs with Uniswap governance. Under the proposal, Uniswap Labs would enter into a services agreement recognized as legally binding in Wyoming under the state's Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA) framework, alongside indemnification agreements covering members of the independent committee that negotiated the deal. The proposal text states that this structure is intended to ensure Labs' activities remain aligned with the interests of UNI token holders. The governance package also would shift operational responsibilities historically handled by the Uniswap Foundation to Uniswap Labs, eliminate Labs' interface, wallet, and API fees, and establish an annual growth budget of 20 million UNI funded from the treasury starting in 2026. The proposal frames these changes as part of a long-term model in which protocol usage drives UNI burns while Labs focuses on protocol development and growth. Uniswap's native token is trading up around 7.5% on Thursday following the proposal's submission for a final vote, according to The Block's UNI price page.

According to HyperInsight, UNI posted a near-term gain of about 10%, trading near $5.28. Market observers link the move to evolving sentiment around Binance‘s dual‑coin investment initiative, with liquidity flows contributing to the burst. A prominent Hyperliquid whale wallet ending in 0x413c shows unrealized gains surpassing 50%, supported by a position of roughly $1.18 million opened at an average price of $4.99. The address established a 10x leveraged long on UNI at midnight yesterday and has continued accumulating as of four hours ago. On the sentiment side, the largest UNI short exposure held by the Shanzhai Short Army Vanguard fell by more than 30% around 13:00 yesterday, leaving the position near $3.38 million with unrealized gains of about $1.39 million (roughly 410%). The juxtaposition of aggressive long-building with shrinking shorts signals an evolving risk profile for UNI liquidity and may influence short‑term volatility.
