Lending

Lending protocols form the backbone of the decentralized money market, allowing users to lend or borrow digital assets without intermediaries. Using smart contracts, platforms like Aave and Morpho automate interest rates based on supply and demand while requiring over-collateralization for security. The 2026 lending landscape features advanced permissionless vaults and institutional-grade credit lines. This tag covers the evolution of capital efficiency, liquidations, and the integration of diverse collateral types, including LSTs and tokenized RWAs.

New projects from DeFi veterans: Curve founder creates BTC pool, AC plans to build a full-fledged exchange

New projects from DeFi veterans: Curve founder creates BTC pool, AC plans to build a full-fledged exchange

Author: Ash Compiled by: TechFlow @newmichwill, founder of @CurveFinance, is launching @yieldbasis, a Bitcoin AMM liquidity platform with no impermanent loss. Meanwhile, @yearnfi founder and DeFi god @AndreCronjeTech is building @flyingtulip_, a unified AMM+CLOB exchange. Two different attempts to solve the same problem: how to make on-chain liquidity truly effective: Yield Basis ($YB): A Curve-native AMM that eliminates impermanent loss for BTC liquidity providers by maintaining a constant 2x leveraged BTC-crvUSD liquidity pool (LP value remains 1:1 with BTC while earning transaction fees). Users can mint ybBTC (yield-generating BTC). Flying Tulip ($FT): An on-chain unified exchange (including spot, lending, perpetual contracts, options, and structured returns), based on a volatility-aware hybrid AMM+CLOB architecture, combined with a slippage-aware lending mechanism, and ftUSD (a delta-neutral USD equivalent) as the core incentive. Yield Basis Traditional AMMs allow BTC liquidity providers to sell when prices rise or buy when prices fall (√p exposure, DeepChao Note: market risk exposure measured in square roots of prices), resulting in impermanent losses that often exceed the fees earned from providing liquidity. The specific mechanism of Yield Basis will be explained in detail later, but the core is: users deposit BTC into the platform, and the protocol borrows an equal amount of crvUSD, forming a 50/50 BTC-crvUSD Curve liquidity pool, which operates with 2x compound leverage. A re-leveraged AMM and virtual pool maintains a debt approximately equal to 50% of the liquidity pool value; arbitrageurs profit by maintaining leverage constant. This allows the value of the liquidity pool to change linearly with BTC while earning transaction fees. Liquidity providers hold ybBTC, a yield-generating BTC receipt token that automatically compounds BTC-denominated transaction fees. The platform also provides governance tokens $YB, which can be locked as veYB and used for voting (for example, selecting liquidity pool reward distribution). Yield Basis is primarily aimed at BTC holders who want to unlock productive BTC in a protocol that solves the impermanent loss problem and earn fees. Flying Tulip Traditional decentralized exchanges (DEXs) often have static user experiences and risk profiles. Flying Tulip aims to bring centralized exchange (CEX)-level tools to the blockchain by adjusting AMM curves based on volatility and adjusting loan-to-value (LTV) ratios based on actual execution/slippage. Its AMM adjusts the curvature based on the measured volatility (EWMA) - that is, it tends to be flat (close to the constant sum) in the case of small volatility to compress slippage and impermanent loss; it has more multiplicative characteristics in the case of large volatility to avoid liquidity depletion. ftUSD tokenized delta-neutral liquidity pool positions are generated and used for incentive mechanisms and liquidity programs. The platform token $FT may be used for revenue buybacks, incentives, and liquidity programs. Flying Tulip is a DeFi super app: an exchange that supports spot trading, lending, perpetual contracts, and options. Execution quality relies on accurate volatility/impact signals and robust risk control in stressed environments. Outlook of the two projects Yield Basis aims to become a platform for BTC liquidity, while Flying Tulip aims to become a platform for all on-chain native trading. In an era dominated by perpetual contract decentralized exchanges (Perp DEXs), Flying Tulip's launch seems opportune. Frankly, if it can achieve best execution, Flying Tulip could even divert future BTC traffic to a pool similar to YB. If Yield Basis succeeds, ybBTC could become Bitcoin's "stETH" primitive: BTC exposure + liquidity provider (LP) trading fees, without impermanent loss. Flying Tulip has the potential to launch its integrated stack, providing users with centralized exchange (CEX)-level tools, attempting to become a "one-stop shop for all DeFi." While cautiously optimistic about both projects, it's important to note that these projects, led by OG founders and top-tier teams, remain untested, and their founders must also consider the development of other protocols, such as Curve and Sonic.

Andre Cronje's new crypto project, Flying Tulip, has raised $200 million in seed funding at a $1 billion token valuation.

Andre Cronje's new crypto project, Flying Tulip, has raised $200 million in seed funding at a $1 billion token valuation.

PANews reported on September 30th that Flying Tulip, a new crypto project founded by DeFi veteran Andre Cronje, has secured $200 million in private seed funding. The company aims to build an on-chain exchange spanning the entire DeFi landscape, encompassing spot trading, derivatives, lending, stablecoins, and insurance. The $200 million round, raised in the form of a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens (SAFT), values Flying Tulip's tokens at a fully diluted value (FDV) of $1 billion. The funding round, which launched on August 14th and closed within a month, did not include a single lead investor. Participants included Brevan Howard Digital, CoinFund, DWF Labs, FalconX, Hypersphere, Lemniscap, Nascent, Republic Digital, Selini, Sigil Fund, Susquehanna Crypto, Tioga Capital, and Virtuals Protocol. Flying Tulip now plans to raise up to an additional $800 million through a public sale of its FT tokens at the same $1 billion valuation. Cronje stated that this sale will be conducted on Flying Tulip's own platform, rather than leveraging an existing ICO. The fundraising will feature an "on-chain redemption right," allowing investors to burn FT tokens at any time to redeem a portion of their initial investment in assets. Redemptions will be managed by an audited smart contract, with safeguards such as queues and rate limits in place to ensure solvency. In the event of a temporary shortage of reserves, requests will be placed in a transparent queue and processed once funds are replenished. FT tokens are non-transferable until the public sale is complete. Team members will have no initial allocations, and their compensation will be based on planned open market buybacks funded by protocol proceeds, directly tying their upside to performance.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT-5 Gives Mutuum Finance (MUTM) and Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Predictions for the End of 2025

OpenAI’s ChatGPT-5 Gives Mutuum Finance (MUTM) and Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Predictions for the End of 2025

The post OpenAI’s ChatGPT-5 Gives Mutuum Finance (MUTM) and Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Predictions for the End of 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As the crypto market looks toward Q4 2025, investors are weighing established coins against emerging DeFi projects for maximum growth potential. Dogecoin (DOGE), long a community favorite, continues to draw attention for its mainstream recognition and meme-driven momentum. Meanwhile, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is turning out to be one of the next-gen DeFi platforms with future-proof lending and borrowing solutions that are above hype.  Mutuum Finance is presently at stage 6 level of $0.035 in its presale. Mutuum Finance has already raised more than $16.52 million and onboarded more than 16,640 holders, demonstrating a positive sign regarding market sentiment. Mutuum Finance’s high potential for upside, in that it could outcompete regular meme coins by offering real utility and explosive expansion next year Dogecoin Struggles to Keep the Line as Bears Close in Dogecoin (DOGE) is facing a severe test this week, falling 17% to around $0.225 as vulnerability in the broader market drags Bitcoin beneath $110K and Ethereum beneath $4,000. The $0.20 level has now become a strong psychological support, with bulls fighting hard to hold it to avoid further decline. On the upper side, the $0.25 remains the first key resistance, and turning it around could be the key to a push towards $0.288.  Technical indicators, however, show a cautious outlook: the RSI is at 34, pointing to intense selling pressure, and a bearish MACD signals bearish momentum. If $0.20 holds, the next big support is at $0.189, a price level that may decide DOGE’s near future fate. And with critical PCE figures imminent, the volatility would only be amplified. While DOGE investors await this make-or-break test, attention is already being focused on new Mutuum Finance which is alternatives with better fundamentals. Mutuum Finance Presale Numbers Show Strong Support Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has set a new presale record milestone at…

Andre Cronje’s Flying Tulip Completes $200M Round, Reveals Tokenomics for Public Phase

Andre Cronje’s Flying Tulip Completes $200M Round, Reveals Tokenomics for Public Phase

The post Andre Cronje’s Flying Tulip Completes $200M Round, Reveals Tokenomics for Public Phase appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes The platform combines stablecoin, trading, lending, and insurance in one cross-margin system for capital efficiency. Token holders can redeem for original principal via perpetual put option funded by segregated on-chain reserve. Team earns tokens through protocol revenue buybacks rather than initial allocation to align incentives with platform usage. Flying Tulip, a new on-chain financial marketplace led by Andre Cronje, has secured $200 million in a private funding round and announced an upcoming public sale of its $FT token at the same valuation. This new initiative aims to deliver a unified market structure for digital assets, combining a native stablecoin, spot and derivatives trading, lending, and on-chain insurance in a cross-margin system designed for capital efficiency, all-in-one financial features on-chain. The funding round saw participation from several global investors, including Brevan Howard Digital, CoinFund, DWF, FalconX, Hypersphere, Lemniscap, Nascent, Republic Digital, Selini, Sigil Fund, Susquehanna Crypto, Tioga Capital, and Virtuals Protocol. https://t.co/EDFlo1Or3V — Lemniscap (@Lemniscap) September 29, 2025 The project is seeking up to $1 billion in total funding from both private and public sources, reflecting rising institutional confidence in the DeFi sector and renewed interest in projects led by Andre Cronje, similar to past successes with projects like Yearn Finance. Unique Redemption Rights and Tokenomics Flying Tulip’s primary-sale participants, both private and public, will receive an on-chain redemption right. This feature, described as a “perpetual put,” allows holders to redeem their tokens for up to their original principal in contributed assets, such as ETH, at any time. Settlements are handled through a segregated on-chain redemption reserve funded by the capital raised. According to the announcement, this model is designed to “protect downside while preserving unlimited upside” for users. A notable aspect of Flying Tulip’s tokenomics is that the team receives no initial allocation of tokens. Instead, team exposure…

Andre Cronje’s Flying Tulip Raises $200 Million Ahead of ICO

Andre Cronje’s Flying Tulip Raises $200 Million Ahead of ICO

The post Andre Cronje’s Flying Tulip Raises $200 Million Ahead of ICO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Yearn founder’s new platform aims to unify DeFi services like spot trading, derivatives and lending. Flying Tulip, the latest venture from prolific decentralized finance (DeFi) developer Andre Cronje, has raised $200 million in a private seed round, valuing the project at a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $1 billion. Prominent participants included Brevan Howard Digital, CoinFund, DWF Labs, and Susquehanna Crypto. The project plans to raise an additional $800 million through a public sale of its native FT token at the same valuation, conducted on Flying Tulip’s proprietary platform. However, exact dates for the platform’s launch and token sale remain uncertain. Described as a full-stack onchain exchange, Flying Tulip aims to unify DeFi services, including spot trading, derivatives, lending, stablecoins, and insurance, into a single ecosystem. The platform is an evolution of the Deriswap model laid out by Cronje in 2020 that aimed to merge multiple DeFi functions under one system. Notably, Flying Tulip introduces an “onchain redemption right,” allowing both private and public investors to redeem their $FT tokens for their original principal at any time, providing downside protection. Cronje told The Block that the mechanism prevents the misuse of raised capital, as the funds can only be deployed into onchain strategies such as Aave, Ethena, and Spark to generate an annual yield of approximately 4%. The resulting yield, estimated to generate $40 million annually from $1 billion in raised capital, is expected to fund the platform’s development. Team members will not receive an initial token allocation, with their compensation contingent on market buybacks funded by protocol revenue, aligning incentives with the platform’s success. According to a pitch deck viewed by The Block, Cronje anticipates that protocol revenues will fuel token buybacks, ecosystem incentives, and higher yields. This approach aims to create a “self-reinforcing growth flywheel” while mitigating…

PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.1089 vs. 7.1152 previous

PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.1089 vs. 7.1152 previous

The post PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 7.1089 vs. 7.1152 previous appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the USD/CNY central rate for the trading session ahead on Monday at 7.1089 compared to the previous day’s fix of 7.1152. PBOC FAQs The primary monetary policy objectives of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) are to safeguard price stability, including exchange rate stability, and promote economic growth. China’s central bank also aims to implement financial reforms, such as opening and developing the financial market. The PBoC is owned by the state of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), so it is not considered an autonomous institution. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee Secretary, nominated by the Chairman of the State Council, has a key influence on the PBoC’s management and direction, not the governor. However, Mr. Pan Gongsheng currently holds both of these posts. Unlike the Western economies, the PBoC uses a broader set of monetary policy instruments to achieve its objectives. The primary tools include a seven-day Reverse Repo Rate (RRR), Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF), foreign exchange interventions and Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR). However, The Loan Prime Rate (LPR) is China’s benchmark interest rate. Changes to the LPR directly influence the rates that need to be paid in the market for loans and mortgages and the interest paid on savings. By changing the LPR, China’s central bank can also influence the exchange rates of the Chinese Renminbi. Yes, China has 19 private banks – a small fraction of the financial system. The largest private banks are digital lenders WeBank and MYbank, which are backed by tech giants Tencent and Ant Group, per The Straits Times. In 2014, China allowed domestic lenders fully capitalized by private funds to operate in the state-dominated financial sector.
