- Uniswap Launches Aggregator Hooks to Tap Rival DEXs for UNI Token Burns — this brief
Uniswap, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) platform, has launched Aggregator Hooks, a new feature that connects seven external liquidity sources to its platform. These sources include major DEXs and cover over 90% of decentralized exchange activity across 
Ethereum, Base, and Robinhood Chain.
The upgrade allows Uniswap to route trades through these external liquidity sources, generating protocol fees in the process. These fees will be used to burn UNI tokens, potentially increasing the value of the token by reducing its supply.
Multiple outlets confirm that the seven external liquidity sources connected through Aggregator Hooks include major DEXs, although specific names are not provided. The integration is live as of Thursday, according to 
Bitcoin.com.
The development comes as Uniswap's total value locked (TVL) stands at $4.09 billion, representing a 6% increase over the past seven days, according to DeFiLlama. This growth contrasts with the broader market, which is currently experiencing a downturn.
In the current market context, with the total crypto market cap at $2.79 trillion and Bitcoin down 4.12% in the last 24 hours, Uniswap's UNI token has also seen a decline of 7.89% in the same period. However, the new feature could provide a boost to UNI's price if it successfully increases token burning.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, Ethereum (ETH) has moved from ₹2,24,995.31$2,378.54 to ₹2,26,158.81$2,390.84 — +0.52%.
The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹248,157.24 (about $2,390.84), down 4.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
