Decentralized finance — DEXs, lending, yield strategies, on-chain derivatives, and tokenized real-world assets.
Capital is small next to Sharplink's 873K ETH stack, but the structure — a public-markets vehicle farming active DeFi yield without selling its core ETH — is the template that matters.
The 30,765 ETH is a sliver of Aave TVL but the precedent is the story: a DAO-level vote becomes the legal bridge between DeFi custody and a US terrorism judgment.
Pavel Durov announced that TON's newly released AI-ready toolchain delivers a tenfold improvement in smart contract…
The shift ends five years of standalone sidechain operation and slashes RON inflation from over 20% to below 1%, but the roughly 10-hour outage window is the first real test.
A Bitcoin address that had sat untouched for 12.5 years was activated this week, moving 500 BTC now valued at…
Three protocols with $2.3B combined just walked — the first measurable TVL migration since LayerZero admitted a Lazarus-linked RPC exploit and a 1/1 DVN misconfiguration.
A single quarter of tokenized equity trading outpaced the prior six months, and tokenized gold has already cleared its full-year 2025 total — the RWA thesis is no longer hypothetical flow.
The lift only frees the funds to move — North Korea-linked judgment creditors keep their claim against whatever wallet ends up holding the ETH.
Ethereum's share of total value locked across DeFi has dropped from 63.5% to 54% so far this year, a near…
Brazilian savers in Recife now earn Aave yield on USDC, and Mexican and Argentine holders borrow against BTC and ETH without selling — DeFi stops being a niche experiment when the on-ramp stops being…
The order is a narrow procedural win for the recovery plan — but the restraining notice now follows the ETH wherever it lands, keeping terrorism judgment creditors one step behind the protocol.
The $71M in ETH the Arbitrum DAO voted to return was frozen by plaintiffs holding a North Korea judgment — Aave will borrow against the shortfall and burn the seized rsETH to drain the hacker's…
Toncoin has climbed to the top of the staking yield table, now ranking as the highest-yielding staking asset among the…
Six chains each hold under 7% of DeFi TVL, but their combined share is what has drained Ethereum from 63.5% to roughly 54% — a fragmentation driven by function, not by Ethereum losing users outright.
EthCC-week gathering drew Web3 builders, founders, and protocol leads to debate where DeFi, real-world assets, and infrastructure capital land next.
Whale Alert quietly expanded its stablecoin coverage on the ERC-20 rail and added Tempo — a payments-focused L1 — to its supported chains.
MegaETH's headline number tripled since the token generation event — yet almost all of it is borrowed Aave liquidity rather than native protocol deposits, a structural fragility most readers will…
A near-unanimous DAO vote to free exploit-frozen ether now collides with a Manhattan court fight — the eight-day Constitutional AIP delay may be the only window that decides who gets the funds.
The DAO vote was near-unanimous, but a May 1 federal order tied to North Korea-related judgments freezes the path to DeFi United, leaving Aave's $190M bad debt in legal limbo.
The barrier is not yield — it's risk perception. Repeated exploits and DeFi's permissionless design keep KYC-bound capital on centralized venues, and product gaps in bot tooling widen the gap.
