According to @ai_9684xtpa, StandX launched Maker Points that reward users for placing limit orders that do not execute as trades, while filled orders earn Trading Points (source: StandX Official on X, Jan 9, 2026). According to @ai_9684xtpa, the program’s goal is to stimulate effective liquidity, with tiered scoring that increases with order size, closeness to the market price, and the time the order rests on the book (source: @ai_9684xtpa citing StandX Official on X, Jan 9, 2026). For traders, this favors maker-focused points farming by posting larger, tighter, longer-duration quotes, but it carries the risk that rapid volatility may prevent timely cancellation and lead to unintended fills (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to @Tetranode, Curve Finance’s share of DEX fees has climbed from 1.5% to 44%, attributing the surge to Yield Basis’s borrowing and LP features and framing it as a remarkable comeback the market overlooked [source: @Tetranode, Jan 4, 2026]. According to @Tetranode, Convex Finance holds 52% of the voting Curve tokens, underscoring CVX’s outsized influence on veCRV gauge incentives and liquidity routing on Curve [source: @Tetranode, Jan 4, 2026]. According to @Tetranode citing @NickSabel2, CVX reportedly jumped over 40% intraday, with @NickSabel2 asserting the move was driven by ticker confusion with Chevron, highlighting short-term flow risks for CVX trades [source: @NickSabel2 via @Tetranode, Jan 4, 2026]. According to @Tetranode, traders should monitor CRV and CVX alongside Curve’s DEX fee share and Yield Basis adoption to align positioning with potential governance-driven liquidity shifts and incentive flows on Curve [source: @Tetranode, Jan 4, 2026].

According to @AggrNews, a strategy discussion titled How Aave will win is live on the official Aave Governance Forum at governance.aave.com/t/how-aave-will-win/23792, shared via tweet on Jan 2, 2026, which confirms the thread’s visibility to the market (source: @AggrNews on Twitter; source: Aave Governance Forum). For trading, monitor whether this discussion progresses into a formal AIP, as Aave Governance can adjust risk parameters, interest rate models, new asset listings, emissions, and fee flows that directly affect borrowing costs, liquidity incentives, and Safety Module dynamics relevant to AAVE (AAVE) supply and demand (source: Aave Governance documentation). Traders should track the forum thread for a draft AIP and subsequent on-chain vote creation to assess timing and potential impacts on protocol yields and stkAAVE staking metrics (source: Aave Governance Forum; source: Aave Governance documentation).
