More than 120 billion won in assets linked to the company believed to be behind the KOK coin multilevel fraud case was concealed through South Korean and overseas exchanges, Edaily reported after reviewing tips and conducting on-chain fund flow analysis. According to Edaily, outflows totaling $91.9 million were identified between January and October 2022 through eight South Korean and overseas crypto exchanges, including cash-outs and coin transfers. The outlet said the KOK coin scheme affected 570,000 people in South Korea and abroad, with total damage estimated at 2.5 trillion won. Since 2019, the group that issued KOK coin had promoted the token by claiming users could deposit Bitcoin and other assets and receive monthly rewards through a staking-like structure. It also used multilevel marketing, telling participants they could earn fixed monthly returns of up to hundreds of millions of won by bringing in and depositing funds from other investors.

Uniswap Labs has launched StablePair Hook, a custom hook built on Uniswap v4 that is designed to maximize the share of trading revenue captured by liquidity providers in stablecoin pairs, The Block reported. The feature targets swaps between stablecoin pairs such as USDC/USDT and USDC/USDG, which account for the largest share of on-chain trading volume. While those trades typically occur near a one-to-one peg, arbitrage bots and traders have generally captured profits when prices drift slightly and then move back toward parity. StablePair Hook applies dynamic fees instead of fixed fees to shift more of that revenue to LPs. The feature was first deployed to Ethereum mainnet pools for the USDC/USDG and USDC/USDT pairs.
