Bankrupt crypto ATM operator Bitcoin Depot has around a quarter of its devices acquired at a low price.
Crypto ATM operator Bitcoin Depot (BTM) has completed the sale of some of its assets after filing for bankruptcy protection in May. Publicly traded digital asset infrastructure firm Bitcoin Bancorp (BCBC) acquired 2,547 ATMs for just $620,750, representing more than a quarter of Bitcoin Depot’s over 9,200 total devices. Key factors behind Bitcoin Depot’s bankruptcy include a 49% year-over-year drop in first-quarter revenue, and a swing from a $12.2 million profit in the year-ago period to a $9.5 million loss. The company attributed its unsustainable business model to increasingly strict regulatory requirements.

Uniswap Labs launches "StablePair Hook" designed specifically for stablecoin trading pairs.
Uniswap Labs has launched the "StablePair Hook", a new Uniswap v4 hook built exclusively for stablecoin trading pairs including USDC/USDT and USDC/USDG. The StablePair Hook uses dynamic fees instead of fixed fees, with fees adjusting based on the degree of deviation between the liquidity pool’s price and its reference price. When the price is near the reference level, the mechanism adjusts per-trade fees to maintain a fixed spread between bid and ask prices. Uniswap Labs notes that if the price moves outside this range, trades that push prices further away from the range will incur no fees, as these trades already provide a favorable price for the liquidity pool. Trades that pull prices back toward the reference price operate via a Dutch auction: fees start at a high level and decrease with each subsequent block until a trader accepts the terms, enabling liquidity providers (LPs) to capture more gains from price pullbacks. The first StablePair Hook pools will launch on Ethereum, supporting the USDC/USDG and USDC/USDT pairs. Uniswap Labs also reported that stablecoin-to-stablecoin swap volume on the Uniswap platform reached $43.4 billion in the second quarter, exceeding the combined total of the second and third-ranked on-chain trading platforms.
