Decentralized finance — DEXs, lending, yield strategies, on-chain derivatives, and tokenized real-world assets.
A routine quarterly rebalance, but the ENA inclusion signals where Grayscale's product team is leaning as the real-yield sector matures.
For a decade, DeFi audited code. Mythos maps how small weaknesses in keys, bridges and oracles chain into systemic failures — and both attackers and defenders are already moving.
Raw dollar losses look similar — roughly $2.6B in TradFi and $2.8B in DeFi in 2025 — but volume-adjusted, DeFi loses at an 86x higher rate, and the marketing damage may outlast the math.
A joint proposal from Aave, Kelp, and LayerZero is asking the Arbitrum DAO to release $71 million in frozen ETH as part…

Two months of steady long accumulation on the leading on-chain perps venue reads less like a tactical scalp and more like whales positioning for a structural breakout.
Live token performance among recently launched perp DEXs offers a yardstick for four pre-token venues still farming points, with GRVT, Extended, Hibachi, and Ethereal the names to watch.
The Hyperliquid HIP-3 sector has cleared $181B in cumulative perp volume, but the market is essentially a one-horse race: XYZ alone accounts for 86.9% of the flow, with Paragon still rounding to zero.
A single verifier-path failure let a fraudulent cross-chain message slip through, and the knock-on withdrawal cascade is now reading as a stress test of DeFi contagion plumbing.
The doubling in six months signals a structural pivot: traditional yield-bearing instruments are migrating on-chain, with BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Ondo all running material books.
The raise lands as the stablecoin market crosses $310B in supply and RWA tokenization stops being a slide-deck category — Mercury Fund and Notion Capital are betting OpenTrade becomes the middleware…
The product lands inside a prediction-market sector that traded roughly $29B in April alone, but its binary-options-adjacent format is the precise category US and EU regulators have spent years…
Aave V3 USDC borrowing costs ran from spike to fix to normalization in days — independently of where bitcoin trades — and that decoupling is the more useful read for institutional allocators watching…
The reframing aims to give attackers legal title to the frozen ether under a 19th-century fraud doctrine — the move that lets victims reach the funds at all, before a May 6 Manhattan hearing.
April was likely the worst month for DeFi hacks on record — a $295M Drift exploit and a similar-sized KelpDAO hit landed while State Street told Consensus Miami the rails aren't ready for…
Griff Green argues the real risk on Aave isn't smart-contract bugs — it's operational: leaked keys and social engineering from state-aligned attackers that lending markets haven't priced in.
A $3.8M seed pool and tokenized loss claims try to bridge a $295.4M gap — but relaunch as a security-first venue is the bigger industry test after Aave's Kelp DAO rescue.
A 91% origination-cost gap and a pivot to a marketplace model with 80–85% EBITDA targets — but the onchain footprint is contested, with DeFiLlama pegging real tokenized assets near $140M, not the…
