Uniswap just dropped asymmetric fees on $ETH/$USDC pairs
VolatilePair Hook went live on mainnet Oct 14. Here's what changed:
• Buys and sells now pay DIFFERENT fees based on recent price action
• Push price against momentum? You pay an extra layer temporarily
• Goal: keep more value for LPs instead of bleeding to arbs
Dynamic fees ≠ cheaper trades. If you're trading into volatility, expect to pay up. LPs get better fee capture but still eat IL risk.
Real test: does volume stick or migrate? Watch the data.
