<p>Altcoin season is progressing with a bullish momentum, fueled by the partial victory of Ripple against the SEC. Another factor has emerged as the trigger: the US SEC initiating the review of 6 spot Bitcoin ETF proposals after <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/crypto-news-sec-accepts-blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-application/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">approving</a> BlackRock’s. Notably, Chainlink (LINK), Uniswap (UNI), and Maker (MKR) have emerged as the top gainers in the cryptocurrency market&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Certainly, let’s delve into the momentous developments and activities of LINK, UNI, and MKR.</p>

<p>On July 18, the decentralized oracle network Chainlink (LINK) <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/chainlink-cross-chain-interoperability-protocol-revolutionizes-finance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">introduced</a> its highly anticipated Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) on its Mainnet. This revolutionary protocol allows seamless integration between traditional financial institutions with blockchain technology. Remarkably, CCIP facilitates the creation of cross-chain dApps across diverse networks such as Avalanche, Ethereum, Optimism, and Polygon.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Following the CCIP launch, Chainlink (LINK) experienced a staggering surge in price. A month ago, LINK was trading at around $6.83, but the recent upswing drove it to $8.37, making it the day’s top gainer in the crypto market.&nbsp;</p>

</ul> 
<p>Uniswap, the dominant decentralized crypto exchange (DEX), surfaced Twitter with the circulation of a malicious link shared via the founder’s hacked account. On July 20, the 254K Twitter account of the Uniswap founder Hayden Adams was subjected to a hack. Through this, the hacker was able to post a false update informing users that the platform was under attack, with a malicious phishing link attached.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>However, Uniswap’s core protocol remained unaffected. The official team assured this and users to not fall into the trap of any fake giveaways, airdrops, or bounties. Hours later, the compromised account was recovered.</p>
