Decentralized finance — DEXs, lending, yield strategies, on-chain derivatives, and tokenized real-world assets.
The bank's digital-assets team splits the forecast evenly between stablecoins and RWAs — and names established DeFi protocols with strong risk metrics as the primary beneficiaries, not the issuers.
Borrowing caps are back on, but the exploit funneled the borrowed ETH through a sanctioned mixer — the borrowing-market plumbing is patched, the regulatory tail is not.
Aave has confirmed that WETH loan-to-value ratios have been fully restored to their pre-incident levels across all…
WETH borrowing is back at pre-incident levels across seven Aave V3 deployments — the second step in the rsETH recovery plan, with the swap-path work still open.
Jeff Yan's disclosure lands as ICE and CME have been lobbying to restrict the protocol, making compliant U.S. access the deciding variable for Hyperliquid's next leg of growth.
After $16.5B in cumulative DeFi exploits, the latest THORChain incident is forcing protocols toward the centralised-style controls they once resisted — Aave's rsETH bad debt is the canary.
Two weeks without a forced close ended Wednesday — the high-leverage ETH long is back inside the liquidation zone at $2,153, with cumulative losses now near $32M.
DeFi lending protocols have lost $7.7B to exploits since 2020, yet coverage sits at 0.14% of TVL — users keep chasing yield while the sector's own insurance stack shares the same vulnerabilities as…
The contracts worked exactly as written — the problem was operational. As shared bridge infrastructure concentrates, a single LayerZero-adjacent weakness can cascade across the protocols sitting on…
The position is a 10x leveraged short on 175,082 HYPE ($7.62M notional) — funded with a freshly bridged 8.8M USDC and still being added to, signaling conviction rather than a tactical scalp.
The single-day buy is small next to the four-week total: an a16z-linked wallet has now stacked 1.71M $HYPE, a signal that the institutional bid for the token is still active rather than rotating out.
Leveraged ZEC bets are back on the tape — a single wallet's 10x long size and a $537 liquidation line give the next session a clear invalidation level for the breakout trade.
The framing flips Sonic's burn narrative: 295,454 S from VI product revenue outweighs 59,787 S of fee-related burns since March 1, and the ratio is the real story.
Four products including Kraken Bitcoin have already swapped LayerZero cross-chain rails in the wake of the Kelp DAO attack, and a $2.57B combined TVL is the real signal of how much weight is moving.
The bridging capital model turns the slow primary-market redemption window into a near-instant secondary exit, with LPs earning receipt tokens on the spread between primary and secondary pricing.

Two deep-pocketed wallets — one laddering limit orders across $30.88 to $35.88, the other filling a 62,230-HYPE block — landed within hours of each other, a coordinated bid at a time when HYPE's…
The relief is procedural, not a green light: the agency has stopped short of saying event contracts are not swaps, leaving the line itself — and any platform that crosses it — unresolved.
A dormant Ethereum pre-mine address holding 790 ETH — valued at roughly $1.78 million today — has been activated after…
