Hyperliquid's HYPE token has surged by 15.76% in the past 24 hours, nearing its all-time high, following reports that ICE plans to launch a US venue for Hyperliquid perpetual contracts. This development could significantly boost the platform's liquidity and market presence.
In contrast, 
Uniswap's UNI token also saw a 3% gain but remains in a 7-day downtrend, with its total value locked (TVL) declining by 7.1% to $3.65 billion, according to DeFiLlama. This suggests that while UNI may have benefited from short-term market sentiment, underlying trends remain bearish.

Hyperliquid's TVL has grown by 15.2% in the past week, reaching $1.99 billion, according to DeFiLlama. This growth underscores the platform's increasing popularity and the potential impact of the rumored ICE partnership.
