Aero combines the Velodrome and Aerodrome DEXs into a single liquidity hub built on MetaDEX03. It aims to streamline cross-chain trading and enhance value capture through various new revenue streams, all under a unified AERO token. The launch is set for Q2 2026.

Circle is set to launch Gateway, a cross-chain liquidity solution that allows users to access USDC tokens in real-time across multiple blockchain networks. The platform aims to streamline the user experience by providing a unified USDC balance, eliminating the need for traditional cross-chain bridging methods. Gateway will initially be available on Avalanche, Base, and Ethereum testnets in July.
