The crypto market registered a notable uptick on Monday, getting off to a strong start to the new week. Price action remained subdued last weekend as Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies traded sideways.

In January 2025, the crypto industry made massive donations to Trump's investment fund. A month later, the SEC miraculously dropped its lawsuits against those same donors.

Consensys, Solana and Uniswap quietly donated to the Trump's inauguration fund.

PancakeSwap, the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on BNB Chain, has officially announced the implementation of CAKE Tokenomics 3.0. This marks a major shift toward a more sustainable and deflationary ecosystem.

New filings from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) reveal that several cryptocurrency firms and their executives made significant contributions to US President Donald Trump's inauguration fund after the results of the 2024 election. According to FEC filings made public on April 20 by the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams donated more than $245,000, Solana Labs donated $1 million, and software firm Consensys sent $100,000 in January 2025 to support the then-president-elect's inauguration.

TL;DR PancakeSwap will launch Tokenomics 3.0 on April 23 and will remove veCAKE; users will be able to recover their locked tokens until October. Shared rewards and farm boosting will be discontinued; 15% of fees will now go to the CAKE burn mechanism.

Not all momentum in crypto is created equal. While price rallies often grab headlines, lasting value tends to stem from functionality rather than flash. Ondo (ONDO) is gaining traction in the real-world asset space with technical strength behind its price action.

PancakeSwap has begun implementing its long-anticipated Tokenomics 3.0 upgrade for the CAKE token. In a blog post published on Apr. 21, the PancakeSwap (CAKE) team confirmed that key changes will go live on Apr. 23, 2025.

PancakeSwap retired veCAKE and Gauges Voting, impacting CAKE stakes and liquidity.

Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, believes that Solana is currently the best blockchain to scale decentralized finance (DeFi) at the layer 1 level. This stance reignites the debate on the limitations of Ethereum's modular model.

Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams has voiced strong support for Solanas approach to decentralized finance (DeFi), calling it superior to Ethereums rollup-centric direction. In a recent statement, Adams praised Solanas better road map, team, and approach for building DeFi directly on a monolithic Layer 1 blockchain.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams warns that Ethereum's heavy focus on Layer 1 scaling could let Solana overtake it in the DeFi race.

Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams has opined that Solana has a "better roadmap, team, and approach" for developing decentralized finance (DeFi) directly on the monolithic layer-1.

As Solana continues its ascent, experts are not writing off Ethereum's chances to compete favorably in decentralized finance (DeFi). Uniswap founder Hayden Adams wants Ethereum to hone in on Layer 2 scaling to even the odds with Solana.

PancakeSwap's cryptocurrency token has been performing well this spring, with its price increasing by more than 31% in the past month.

Uniswap's token has dropped to a crucial support level even as Unichain, its layer-2 network, continued its strong momentum. Uniswap (UNI) price dropped to $5.

The crypto market registered a substantial drop on Wednesday before recovering towards the end of the day after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell flagged concerns about inflation and slowing growth due to tariffs. However, markets recovered as crypto remained strong in the face of adversity even though traditional stock markets took a beating.

Recent crypto whale metrics surrounding DeFi tokens have garnered immense investor optimism, suggesting that price gains for some coins are imminent despite the ongoing market uncertainty. Whale data on Thursday, April 17, indicated that large-scale investors stacked over $20 million in AAVE and UNI.

Ondo Finance (ONDO) is showing renewed strength, up more than 4% in the last 24 hours, with trading volume jumping nearly 13% following the collapse of MANTRA's OM token. This shift in capital appears to be favoring other RWA-focused projects like ONDO, which is now gaining momentum across several technical indicators.

Made in USA coins are gaining momentum this week, with Solana (SOL), Ondo Finance (ONDO), and Story Protocol (IP) standing out as top contenders. Solana leads the charge with a 30% rebound and renewed institutional interest.

In the wake of the Mantra scandal, Quinn Thompson, the founder and Chief Investment Officer of Lekker Capital, has once again raised red flags about another RWA project Ondo Finance.

Mantra (OM) collapsed a whopping 90% in the past 24 hours as doubts of a rug pull flooded the crypto market.

Bitcoin (BTC) made a brilliant comeback this week, rising more than 7%, indicating solid buying at lower levels. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said in a post on X that the US bond market crisis could be setting the stage for more policy response, and that could result in an “up only mode” for Bitcoin.Blockchain and intelligence platform Glassnode said in a post on X that Bitcoin had built solid support at $79,000, with roughly 40,000 Bitcoin accumulated there.

Despite lingering market uncertainty fueled by Donald Trump's escalating trade war, the cryptocurrency market showed signs of recovery this week.

Trump's tariffs kept the markets on edge throughout the week causing havoc in global stocks. At the start of the week, stocks and crypto saw a sharp drop as new tariffs were looming. But as soon as Trump announced a 90-day pause on the tariffs on all countries except China, the markets swiftly rebounded.

There are a couple of interesting news items regarding the trend of the price of the crypto SUI and ONDO. The crypto market is going through a difficult time, especially regarding altcoins, but in the general turmoil, there are some good news here and there, even if they are few and only good up to a certain point.

Most altcoins jumped on Thursday as the recent fear among market participants ended after the Liberation Day tariff's pause. These cryptocurrencies may continue doing well this year as Wall Street titans like Blackrock move deeper into the industry.

Altcoins are showing fresh signs of life following Trump's 90-day tariff pause, and three names in particular—XRP, HYPE, and ONDO—are catching investor attention.

Uniswap faced resistance around the $5.5-level. Until it can climb beyond it, traders must maintain a bearish outlook.

PancakeSwap's new Tokenomics v3 proposal promises “true ownership, simplified governance and sustainable growth.” Central to this shift is the deprecation of veCAKE replaced with direct emissions management and a max one-year lock, aimed at boosting capital efficiency and simplifying participation.

TL;DR Cakepie DAO rejected PancakeSwap's Tokenomics 3.0 proposal, which aims to eliminate veCAKE, staking, and revenue sharing. PancakeSwap plans to reduce daily emissions and shift the model toward deflation. Cakepie warns of a loss of decentralization.

Cakepie DAO strongly opposes PancakeSwap's Tokenomics Proposal 3.0, citing concerns over the retirement of veCAKE and potential governance manipulation, which could undermine long-term commitments and decentralization.
