"Uniswap V4 Hooks: DeFi’s Next Leap?
Custom Pool Innovation:
Hooks enable dynamic fees, TWAMM orders, and LP gamification—addressing institutional needs like slippage control.
First-mover advantage: 80% of Ethereum DEX volume already flows through Uniswap.
Derivative Potential:
Custom oracles and expiry hooks could power perps/options, challenging dYdX but facing regulatory gray zones.
Adoption Hurdles:
Gas costs and complexity may deter smaller LPs; institutions await clearer compliance (e.g., CFTC guidance).
Verdict: V4 could onboard Wall Street liquidity if hooks deliver seamless compliance-native tools—otherwise, niche dominance persists."
