Uniswap Hits Record $1.4M Daily Trading Fees, Driven by TRU Token Volatility
- Record Trading Fees: On January 8, 2026, Uniswap recorded over $1.4 million in daily trading fees, the highest in its history, with nearly $1.3 million stemming from trades involving the TRU token, highlighting extreme market volatility.
- Impact of Hacking Incident: The hack of the Truebit protocol caused the TRU token to plummet nearly to zero, and while Uniswap's trading fees surged, liquidity providers expressed concern over the toxic nature of this liquidity flow.
- Liquidity Pool Pressure: The massive sell pressure on TRU tokens placed significant strain on Uniswap's liquidity pools, and the spike in trading fees reflects the platform's profitability under high volume, yet also exposes vulnerabilities in older smart contracts.
- Security Vulnerability Revealed: The hacking incident revealed a security flaw in the Truebit protocol, where the hacker exploited an old contract to mint TRU tokens illegally, siphoning approximately $26 million in ETH, prompting the team to collaborate with security experts to trace the funds.
