The DeFi lending protocol Morpho and sister project YEET both lost their public frontends for roughly three hours after an AWS CloudFront disruption, with user funds untouched.
The expansion triples TSMC's US capex footprint and locks in three new fabs plus an R&D center, deepening the US-Taiwan semiconductor decoupling beyond any previous commitment.
Base is repivoting from consumer social apps to trading, payments and tokenization as Coinbase moves the app back under the parent and hands leadership to investor Jordan Fish.
Jesse Pollak admits the social-and-content-coins bet was a detour. The 2026 priorities (perpetuals, tokenized stocks, stablecoin rails, AI-agent payments) put Base back in the L2 infrastructure race.
The leadership swap is a quiet admission that Base's socialfi experiments never found product-market fit, with the L2 now doubling down on trading, stablecoin payments, and AI agents.
DTCC processes real equity, ETF and Treasury trades as blockchain tokens on its production rails, with JPMorgan, Goldman, BlackRock and Vanguard among two dozen participants, ahead of an October…
The L2 is paying the toll in ETH and settling back to mainnet, but a real re-rating of the asset still hinges on whether holders keep treating it as a productive yield-bearing reserve.
The pipeline puts Stellar alongside Franklin Templeton and WisdomTree as a settlement layer for institutional tokenization, with private credit now the fastest-moving real-world asset class on-chain.
The headline grabber is the $150M cat-coin launch on Robinhood's new layer-2; the structural question is what happens to retail when a regulated broker's brand wraps a permissionless chain.
BitMine's 5.77M ETH treasury plus nearly 5M of it staked makes it the largest corporate ETH holder by a wide margin, with Lee pointing to Robinhood Chain's $1B+ volume as proof the L2 thesis is…
Eleven days post-mainnet and the subsidy-funded L2 is already at 82% of Base's daily volume, a credible signal that gas-free UX is a real adoption lever, not just a marketing claim.
The weekly round-up also tracks a $1M approval-phishing loss, Michael Saylor's shifting narrative, and the crypto entanglements of Farage and Trump.
The L2's on-chain activity is doing something ETH's L1 fees have struggled to do: pull new users and capital into the Ethereum ecosystem.
The 19% ARB move is the headline, but the structural read is the 10% revenue share routing back to the Arbitrum DAO, a first real test of the chain-as-a-business model.
Permissionless rails meet a retail-grade brand: in week one, an unlisted cat token outgrew the chain's RWA ambitions in market cap and volume.
Native issuance cuts bridging friction for a $1B-supply stablecoin, landing on a network that has already settled $2.6T in stablecoin volume and a growing institutional footprint.
The wallet-and-block-builder pairing has quietly landed millions of Solana transactions at near-perfect reliability since January, a sign that MEV-aware routing is becoming wallet-side infrastructure.
Record DEX volume pairs with ~200K daily active addresses and a meme-coin launch wave, suggesting retail-driven throughput, not just one whale's flow.
The Robinhood Chain launch on Arbitrum's stack routes 8% of fees to a tokenholder-controlled treasury and 2% to Offchain Labs development, formalising the revenue share that ties every Orbit L2 to…
A 60x jump from a network that already runs on a research-first cadence is the kind of headline that ages well or ages badly depending on whether the deliverable is a benchmark slide or mainnet code.
