🚨 Big move in the aggregator wars
On Aug 19, 1inch launched native cross-chain swaps between Solana ↔ EVM chains.
No centralized bridges. No wrapping. Just seamless swaps across ecosystems.
This is a first at scale for seamless DeFi interoperability.

Prop AMMs have exploded on Solana, now driving 40%+ of total volume across major pairs.

But almost none exist on EVM.
Even on cheap L2s like Base or Optimism.
Why? Let’s break it down.
🚨 News Flash
August was historic.
Decentralized exchanges processed over $1.15 TRILLION in volume.
The first $1T+ month in DeFi history.
On-chain trading isn’t a side-show anymore. It’s center stage.
If you’re not plugged into CoW Swap, you’re invisible to a huge slice of DeFi.
Recent stats: CoW processed $9B in trades in a single month, taking 34% of DEX aggregator market share the #1 spot.

Every MM has felt it.
A new token moons. Volume spikes. Traders scramble to swap.
But you can’t touch it, because you don’t hold inventory.
By the time you react, spreads have collapsed.
The edge is gone.
Liquorice fixes this.
DeFi is shifting.
Order books and AMMs are no longer the final form.
The new paradigm? Intent-based trading.
Traders broadcast what they want to do.
Solvers + market makers compete to fill it.
That shift = the biggest MM opportunity since the rise of AMMs.
On-chain RFQ trading is the new frontier.
CoW. 1inch Fusion. UniswapX. Velora.
They’ve replaced order books and AMMs with intent-based auctions.
For market makers, that means dealing with two new realities:
Last-look quotes. Partial fills.
Let’s break them down.
PropAMMs are quickly becoming one of the most important market structure experiments in DeFi.
The reason is simple: On-chain markets need tighter spreads and better execution.
Passive liquidity alone can’t always deliver that.
CoinGecko's latest RWA report confirms a trend that's been building for months: tokenized real-world assets keep gaining momentum. But growing the number of assets is only half the equation. The harder part is building real markets around them. 🧵
Grayscale believes tokenization could reshape global capital markets. We agree — but tokenization itself isn't the finish line, it's the starting point. The harder challenge begins once an asset actually gets onchain. 🧵
