Decentralized finance — DEXs, lending, yield strategies, on-chain derivatives, and tokenized real-world assets.
Tokenized Treasuries, gold, and commodities have grown fast on-chain, but the bulk sits behind whitelists and KYC gates — a thin slice is live, lendable, or composable inside DeFi protocols.
The payments firm is now the on-ramp for regulated institutions into stablecoins, tokenized funds and onchain lending — a build-out underwritten by a high-eight-figure Decent.xyz acquisition and a…
Dragonfly led the Series A with Bain Capital Crypto and Coinbase Ventures joining, as Variational pushes past $200B in lifetime volume and launches perpetual futures on gold, silver, copper and WTI…
The CEX duo still dominates volumes, but the share of perpetual futures open interest sitting on DEXs has nearly quadrupled since early 2025 — a structural shift in where leverage now lives.
The HYPE token jumped 20% to $58.60 on the day Hyperliquid's fully diluted valuation passed Solana's — a crossover built on $12.6M weekly protocol fees, not narrative.
Two on-chain moves in 48 hours — a Galaxy-linked wallet buying $8.8M and a fresh address pulling $29.87M off Coinbase — point to accumulation rather than distribution.

An Ethereum user paid 89 ETH, equivalent to roughly $190,530, in transaction fees for a single on-chain operation. The…

On-chain data from HypurrScan shows whale address 0xde42 sold 50,000 $HYPE tokens worth approximately $2.41 million…

The headline is a 24-hour $5.78B print and a fresh weekly record — but the real story is that Solana's perps stack is now absorbing flow at a scale that puts it in the same conversation as…
The bill's headline digital-asset market structure looks set to clear, but the DeFi provisions were rewritten hours before the vote — and the industry is still parsing what that means.
