Katana CEO Matt Fisher argues the next phase of DeFi lending isn't about pulling users on-chain — it's about making the protocol layer invisible inside cards, apps, and exchanges that already own the…
The discount to par is the lead, not the dollar number: STRC was built to trade near $100, and the gap signals the market wants a richer payout before Saylor's preferred-stock funding channel reopens.
The preferred is supposed to trade at $100 — it just printed $85.32, and with $2.7B in dividends due over the next 12 months, the cost is now showing up on Bitcoin's chart through MSTR-dilution math…
Twelve wallets tied to a16z have quietly bought and staked 4M HYPE on Hyperliquid since March at ~$64 average — the kind of patient TWAP accumulation that turned early a16z bets on L1s into…
Grayscale values Aave at $80 to $100 today and sees a path to $175 if tokenized RWA flow accelerates into DeFi lending — a near-double that hinges on regulatory clarity.
