Data Digest
- Uniswap v2 trading volume dominated by memecoins
- Futures and perps liquidations over the last three days
- Perp Protocol recapitalizes its insurance fund
- Metamask earns nearly a million dollars a day in swap fees
Key Takeaways
- DOGE inspired tokens have attracted significant trading volume on Uniswap.
- SHIB, the top traded token, is up 38x in the last 30 days.
Key Takeaways
- Yesterday’s dip liquidated close to $400 million of ETH futures and $490 million of BTC futures.
- A majority of liquidations on this dip came from Bybit (known to be a popular trading avenue for aggressive retail traders) which suggests this was a minor leverage flush.
Key Takeaways
- Metamask introduced swaps in Oct. 2020 and is facilitating over $100 million in daily volume. At the current pace of growth, Metamask is estimated to earn over $20 million in swap fees for May 2021 alone.
- Metamask currently averages over 8000 daily active users for its swap feature, and represents the first instance of the wallet attempting to monetize its user base. Needless to say — it’s going pretty well.
Key Takeaways
- Perp Protocol’s insurance fund has been recapitalized by BAL rewards the protocol earns from its Balancer pool. $1.41 million of USDC was added.
- The protocol’s insurance fund has been losing money in recent weeks as a result of the fund participating in funding payments.
