Decentralized finance — DEXs, lending, yield strategies, on-chain derivatives, and tokenized real-world assets.
The October 2024 exploit drained $51M across Arbitrum and BNB Chain, and 18 months later the omnichain money market says it cannot raise fresh capital — another casualty in a record-breaking year for…
The proposal swaps collateralized debt positions for option-funded exposure, leaning on slow oracles — a structural rewrite of the DeFi liquidation model that has defined every major crash since 2022.
AI's +31.9% cap-weighted gain led a month of selective rotation, with DePIN, GameFi, and memes splitting the rest of the flow into pockets of strength and broad underperformance.
The five largest prediction markets closing this month are split across sports, politics, and a Fed decision — a cross-asset snapshot of where retail and event-driven capital is currently parked.
The licenses are the unglamorous plumbing — but a zero-fee bank-to-stablecoin ramp into Aave's $14B lending market finally gives the protocol a path around crypto-native leverage cycles.
The 0xflorent recovery is technically a rescue, structurally an audit failure: an unpatched Solidity integer-overflow bug from the pre-EIP-214 era was sitting in a multisig-gated admin function for…
The protocol's code worked; the bridge that delivered 116,500 unbacked rsETH didn't — and Aave's response reframes where DeFi risk actually sits now.
Ripple has unlocked 400 million XRP tokens — equivalent to approximately $532.86 million at current prices — in what…
Ripple has unlocked 500 million XRP — valued at approximately $666 million at current prices — in what appears to be a…
Ripple has unlocked 100 million XRP tokens, valued at approximately $133.2 million at current prices. The release…
A draft XRPL amendment calls flash loan attacks "structurally impossible" — an architectural quirk that has spared the chain from the exploit class draining Ethereum and Solana DeFi.
Wall Street is no longer treating Hyperliquid as just another perp DEX — $800M in 2025 revenue and $2.9T in onchain volume put it on a collision course with CME, Kalshi and the tokenized-equities…
The critique from one of crypto's most cited VCs lands on decentralization, not throughput — and on a partnership appetite that excludes any legitimate U.S. counterparty.
The crypto-native OTC giant brings balance-sheet liquidity to event contracts at the moment the category is doing $20B+ a month — a structural endorsement of prediction markets as institutional…
Wintermute, one of crypto's most active algorithmic market makers, is extending its trading infrastructure into…
Six perp DEX tokens launched in the past year reserved more than a quarter of supply for community rewards, but only ASTER crossed the two-thirds threshold.
NYSE parent ICE already works with OKX on oil perps and has a Polymarket stake — Sprecher's open framing of the talks reframes the lobbying as market-entry prep rather than a regulatory ambush.
The proposal pushes a 10-point technical review checklist across every Aave deployment — turning ad-hoc asset onboarding into something closer to an audit gate than a forum vote.
The $148B in DeFi still locked isn't shrinking because AI broke smart contracts — it's shrinking because the attacks are now cheaper, faster, and increasingly aimed at the operational layer around…
Andrew Forson points to $150B in Treasury-bill backing for stablecoins and 20–30% monthly volume growth as evidence the core stack is thriving despite a $20B TVL pullback and $1.1B in exploits.
