Source: Depositphotos A collaboration between the blockchain composability startup Enso and cross-chain interoperability protocols Stargate Finance and LayerZero has opened the floodgates for billions of dollars in liquidity to flow from Ethereum into Uniswap’s dedicated Layer-2 network, Unichain. They’re making it dramatically easier for liquidity providers to shift their funds from the older Uniswap v2 and v3 platforms to Uniswap v4 on Unichain with the launch of a novel, one-click migration tool. The big promise is that it eliminates all of the hassles and worries of moving funds across decentralized networks. Enso says it has ambitions to orchestrate what could become one of the most consequential asset transfers in the history of Ethereum, potentially facilitating the transfer of more than $3.5 billion worth of crypto that’s currently deployed in Uniswap’s liquidity pools. They’re trying to encourage LPs on Uniswap v2 and v3 to move their capital to Uniswap v4 on Unichain , which launched its testnet in October, but has struggled to attract the kind of funds it’s designed to handle. Uniswap is expecting big things from Unichain, as the L2 has been specifically optimized to handle the insane transaction volumes seen on the world’s most popular decentralized exchange. Billed as a “Superchain L2”, it’s capable of processing thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality and ultra-low costs, making it ideal for the demands of big-money DeFi traders. Unichain promises to lower transaction costs by up to 95% while providing an additional finality layer to eliminate the risk of conflict. Novel features include its 250 millisecond “sub-blocks” and improved transaction ordering transparency, enabling almost instantaneous swaps to boost market efficiency and stave off pesky MEV attacks. Unlocking Liquidity The performance benefits of Unichain are clear, but the vast majority of Uniswap users are yet to enjoy them, because the difficulty of moving their funds to Ethereum is off-the-scale. Some users have reported having to go through nine separate steps to complete the process of moving liquidity to Unichain – it’s a major operation, and not surprisingly, the vast majority of LPs simply haven’t bothered. With Enso’s new migration solution, all of that complexity is being stripped away, with users able to migrate, bridge and redeploy their funds on Unichain with just a single click. Creating this solution was the perfect challenge for Enso, which sees itself as a kind of middleware provider that brings a low-code-like experience to Web3 users. It’s a leader in the emerging discipline of intent-based architectures, abstracting away all of the hassles of step-by-step smart contract interactions, so users can just do what they wanna do, securely, quickly. It works by translating user’s intents into automated actions, processing them under the hood. Enso says it couldn’t have come up with its one-click liquidity migration tool without the assistance of Stargate and LayerZero . Stargate has built a seamless, easy-to-use bridge that integrates with LayerZero’s blockchain communication protocol to facilitate simple and secure messaging between decentralized networks and unify liquidity across them. It eliminates the need to wrap tokens and provides immediate finality for all transactions. Enso co-founder Connor Howe said the collaborators have built the “missing piece of the puzzle” for Unichain to finally start getting real traction, giving liquidity providers the ability to redeploy funds with minimal hassle. “Uniswap LPs are about to trigger one of the largest liquidity migration events in Ethereum’s history,” he promised.

Strike CEO Jack Mallers says that gold and Bitcoin ( BTC ) will be useful assets to hold during an imminent reordering of the global financial and geopolitical landscape. In a new interview with independent journalist David Lin, Mallers says that the US has been running unsustainable trade deficits for far too long and is slowly running out of demand for its debt. Moving forward, Mallers says global markets will likely witness a realignment and a “trade flow reordering” – one in which scarce and fixed-supply assets like BTC and gold shine. “The reality is this is not a very sustainable practice. Printing pieces of paper out of thin air in exchange for real goods and services is not a relationship that is to be sustained. It actually was a reaction to a decimating World War, and so what I think we’re living through is the unwind of that. When you see President Trump say things like ‘we need to fix our deficits, we need to bring back the middle class, we need to bring back the manufacturing class, we need to be able to produce our own stuff, it’s because there is a global trade imbalance happening where China is running a trade surplus of something to the tune of a trllion dollars a year, and the US, given this economic alignment globally, has racked up over $35 trillion worth of debt. And there are no marginal lenders to the United States anymore, we’re on the brink of a sovereign debt crisis. And so I think there’s a lot of volatility and a lot of trade flow reordering that we’re living through today, and investors trying to predict when these things are liquidity positive and liquidity negative, how the volatility is going to impact certain structural markets, it’s a very dangerous game to play. I think investors were probably caught offside for the first three months of Trump’s inauguration because he’s been so pro-business, so pro-growth, so pro-deregulation, that they probably got ahead of their skis. But now we’re starting to really understand how the world needs to realign, the impacts of that, and just the true power that a fixed-supply asset like a gold or a Bitcoin can have in a portfolio.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Vice President JD Vance defended President Donald Trump on Saturday after Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself dressed as the Pope on Truth Social. The post went up just days after Pope Francis died, and it set off a full-blown wave of backlash from Catholic groups, politicians, and media across the U.S. and Europe. But Vance didn’t flinch. He treated the whole thing as a joke and fired back at people calling it disrespectful. “As a general rule, I’m fine with people telling jokes and not fine with people starting stupid wars that kill thousands of my countrymen,” Vance wrote on X, replying to a direct question from Bill Kristol, editor-at-large at The Bulwark. Kristol asked if Vance was really okay with “this disrespect and mocking of the holy father.” The image Trump posted showed him in full papal garb — white robes, gold cross, pointed bishop’s hat — standing like he was running the Vatican. The joke post came shortly after Trump had made comments about wanting to lead the Catholic Church. “I’d like to be Pope. That would be my number one choice,” Trump said, speaking to reporters. He also named Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who is based in New York, as someone he’d nominate for the job. No American cardinal has ever been elected Pope, but that didn’t stop Trump from posting the image or recommending a name. He said he would be his own “number one choice” for the papacy, even though he’s not Catholic and has been married three times. Catholic leaders slam Trump post while Vance defends it The New York State Catholic Conference released a public statement through its official X account. The same post was reposted by the White House X account. “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President,” they wrote. “We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.” The Vatican will begin its papal conclave on May 7, and the period of mourning is still active. The Church has not had to elect a new Pope since Francis replaced Benedict XVI over a decade ago. Vance, who is Catholic, was one of the final visitors who met with Francis before his death. The 88-year-old Pope died on Easter Monday, sparking formal ceremonies across Italy and the Catholic world. The image of Trump dressed as Pope became the topic of several questions at the Vatican’s daily press briefing on Saturday. Italian and Spanish media outlets attacked it. They said it was “offensive” and “distasteful” given the timing. The front page of La Repubblica, a left-leaning Italian paper, featured the image with commentary describing Trump’s post as “pathological megalomania.” Former Italian Premier Matteo Renzi, also on X, slammed the image. “This is an image that offends believers, insults institutions and shows that the leader of the right-wing world enjoys clowning around,” he said. Renzi added, “Meanwhile, the U.S. economy risks recession and the dollar loses value. The sovereignists are doing damage, everywhere.” The Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni declined to make a comment about the matter, according to Bloomberg. Trump allies lean into joke as conclave approaches While most religious figures condemned the post, some Republicans leaned into the joke. Senator Lindsey Graham joined the mock campaign, writing on X: “Glad to report there is very positive reception and strong momentum for President Trump to be the next Pope. But I will be first to admit there has been some resistance! Must keep your head down and plow forward — can’t let the naysayers win the day. Next week is crucial as the papal conclave convenes… More updates to come!” Reporters asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for a response. She said, “President Trump flew to Italy to pay his respects for Pope Francis and attend his funeral, and he has been a staunch champion for Catholics and religious liberty.” Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings?

The rejection that came at $98,000 on Friday brought some more pain for bitcoin, as its price dropped to a multi-day low of under $96,000 earlier today. Most altcoins are also in the red on a daily scale, led by a substantial price decline from SUI of 5% that has pushed it down to $3.2. BTC Slips Beneath $96K The primary cryptocurrency spiked above $90,000 last Tuesday and hasn’t looked back. It kept climbing in the following days to a local peak of $96,000 reached on April 25. Consolidation ensued for the next week or so as BTC remained stuck in a tight range between $93,000 and $95,000. The lower boundary was tested on a couple of occasions, but it helped maintain BTC’s price. The last unsuccessful attempt was on Wednesday, after which the cryptocurrency went on the offensive and broke above the upper boundary. This resulted in a price surge to $97,500 on Thursday and to $98,000 on Friday. The latter became the asset’s highest price point in over two months. However, it failed to breach that level and challenge $100,000 as the bears pushed it south by over two grand despite some positive on-chain developments that suggest another rally is around the corner. As of now, BTC struggles below $96,000 after a minor daily correction. Its market cap has dropped to $1.9 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is up to 61.7%. BTCUSD. Source: TradingView TRUMP Keeps Dumping As mentioned above, most alts are slightly in the red today. XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA, TRX, and LINK have lost traction with price declines of up to 3%. SUI and AVAX lead the adverse trend, with price drops of 5.6% and 4.2%, respectively. Consequently, SUI is down to $3.22, while AVAX struggles to remain above $20. TRUMP has plunged once again in the past 24 hours, losing roughly 14% of value. There’s a lot of controversy around the project, especially after the dinner invitation, which you can check here . The total crypto market cap has shed around $25 billion since yesterday and is down to $3.075 trillion on CG. Cryptocurrency Market Overview.
