DashTape reports: 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz stated that 1inch has processed a cumulative token swap trading volume of approximately $809 billion since its founding in 2019, but the company has still not achieved profitability to date. Kunz believes that the current DeFi market size is still insufficient to support the platform in generating large-scale revenue by extracting value, and that rather than pursuing short-term profits, 1inch prefers to continue building infrastructure. Kunz revealed that 1inch is addressing the issue of DeFi liquidity fragmentation through its newly launched shared liquidity protocol, Aqua. Research commissioned by 1inch from Dune shows that in the first half of 2026, about 85% of concentrated liquidity on major decentralized trading platforms was in a state of low utilization. Of the $1.84 billion in tracked liquidity, approximately $1.6 billion was underutilized, with an estimated $150 million in annual fee revenue left uncaptured. Aqua allows liquidity providers to simultaneously support multiple trading pairs through wallet balances without needing to deposit assets into liquidity pools, with trade settlement completed by compliance-vetted market makers. About $25 million in funds was deployed on the protocol's first day, accompanied by 10 million 1INCH and 500,000 USDC as incentives. Currently, 1inch has partnered with major platforms such as Coinbase, and Robinhood has also listed it as a Robinhood Chain partner. Kunz stated that 1inch prefers to build infrastructure first and seek commercialization opportunities after traditional finance and larger-scale capital enter the space.

Of this, Bitcoin accounted for 66% of cumulative open interest and 83% of average daily trading volume. SGX stated that the account opening and onboarding process for U.S. clients typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, and it expects to begin serving U.S. clients within the next 1 to 2 months. SGX employs traditional margin call and additional collateral mechanisms, with clearing members bearing the intermediary risk buffer, and does not accept stablecoins as collateral.

DashTape reports that according to GMGN data, the BSC on-chain Meme coin UPONLY briefly surpassed $4 million in market cap, with an intraday gain of over 90x, currently trading at approximately $3.7 million.

DashTape reports According to The Wall Street Journal, the South Korean government is set to announce a major energy investment project in the United States to support America's artificial intelligence buildout, marking a long-awaited development under the trade agreement reached between Washington and Seoul last year. According to people familiar with the matter, the deal has a potential value of over $100 billion, with South Korea planning to fund the construction of up to eight nuclear power plants and one natural gas project. Trump and Lee Jae-myung reached an agreement last October under which the U.S. would reduce most tariffs from 25% to 15%, including those on South Korea's automotive industry. In exchange, South Korea pledged to invest $350 billion in the United States and purchase an additional $100 billion worth of American energy. Until now, no projects had materialized, drawing dissatisfaction from U.S. officials including Trump. Trump threatened in January to raise tariffs on South Korea once again.
