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.

Bitcoin Hyper Boosts as Texas Is First US State to Buy Bitcoin

Bitcoin Hyper Boosts as Texas Is First US State to Buy Bitcoin

The post Bitcoin Hyper Boosts as Texas Is First US State to Buy Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. What to Know: Texas buying bitcoin via an ETF signals growing state-level comfort with regulated BTC exposure, but it primarily benefits long-term, low-beta allocators. As institutions choose ETFs, crypto-native investors may look one layer deeper, into Bitcoin Layer 2 infrastructure, for higher potential upside. Bitcoin still struggles with low throughput, variable fees, and limited programmability, keeping most complex DeFi and gaming activity on alternative smart contract chains. Bitcoin Hyper aims to solve this by bringing SVM-based, high-throughput smart contracts to a Bitcoin-secured Layer 2, targeting payments, DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. Texas just became the first US state to buy bitcoin, doing it not through a cold wallet but via BlackRock’s spot $BTC ETF. For institutions and treasuries, that’s a historic green light: clean regulatory rails, audited custody, and Bitcoin exposure that fits neatly into a traditional portfolio. For you as a retail investor, though, ETFs cap the upside. You get price tracking, not yield, leverage, or early-stage asymmetry. When a sovereign-scale buyer like Texas enters through an ETF, it reinforces Bitcoin as a macro asset, but it also pushes smaller investors to ask where the next outsized growth might actually come from. That’s why early-stage Bitcoin infrastructure plays are suddenly back in focus. Instead of just holding ‘paper BTC’ via an ETF, some are rotating into projects trying to fix Bitcoin’s biggest pain points: slow confirmation times, rising on-chain fees, and a scripting model that makes complex DeFi almost impossible. That’s the gap Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is aiming to fill. As more headlines frame Texas’s move as the start of state-level Bitcoin adoption and another win for institutional adoption, a parallel conversation is happening in crypto-native circles. If institutions are content with ETF exposure, can agile investors position one layer closer to the innovation stack, into Bitcoin Layer 2s like…

2026 Crypto Growth Drivers: RWA Derivatives, AI, Robotics

2026 Crypto Growth Drivers: RWA Derivatives, AI, Robotics

The post 2026 Crypto Growth Drivers: RWA Derivatives, AI, Robotics appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase Ventures released its 2026 outlook, highlighting RWA perpetuals and AI integration. The firm predicts a rise in “Prop-AMMs” on Solana to protect liquidity from toxic flow. Robotics data collection via DePIN networks is identified as a major emerging sector. Coinbase Ventures has released a detailed overview of the technological categories it expects to define the next phase of on-chain development, highlighting new activity in real-world-asset derivatives, specialized market infrastructure, next-generation DeFi models, and emerging intersections between artificial intelligence, robotics, and cryptographic identity. The firm said that the growth of stablecoin payments, faster settlement systems, and the wider adoption of prediction markets in 2025 have created the conditions for new teams to create innovative designs across several fields. It added that deeper liquidity, improving privacy tools, and stronger interoperability have shaped a more mature environment heading into 2026. RWA Perpetuals: Trading Macro Events On-Chain One of the areas identified involves perpetual futures tied to real-world assets. These contracts enable synthetic exposure without requiring the underlying instruments, thereby creating on-chain markets for data releases, private company performance, or macroeconomic indicators, such as commodities, credit spreads, or inflation expectations. Coinbase Ventures noted two clear vectors of development: instruments that track hard-to-access off-chain assets and tools allowing traders to express macro views within crypto-native systems. The firm also pointed to new market-structure experiments. Related: Former Coinbase Ventures Member Expects the Crypto Exchange to Acquire Circle Among them are alternative automated-market-maker models designed to shield liquidity providers from toxic order flow. Prop-AMMs on Solana were highlighted as one structure in which resting liquidity can only be accessed through aggregators, limiting predatory execution. A parallel track involves trading terminals for prediction markets, which aim to unify fragmented liquidity and provide features such as multi-venue routing, advanced order tools, and consolidated price discovery.

DeFi yield aggregator Yearn discloses September incident in yUSND vault

DeFi yield aggregator Yearn discloses September incident in yUSND vault

The post DeFi yield aggregator Yearn discloses September incident in yUSND vault appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Yearn, a DeFi stalwart offering set-and-forget yield vaults, has announced an incident involving its yUSND vault on the Arbitrum network. The disclosure comes from pseudonymous Yearn contributor johnnyonline who explains that “insufficient USND liquidity” led to “severe slippage” in swapping liquidation rewards, one of the strategy’s yield sources. The incident was confined to the vault’s rETH Stability Pool Strategy, to which 28% of its assets are allocated. Losses were relatively small, especially by DeFi’s standards, at just over $25,000 in USND. This represents a “5.2% drawdown for yUSND depositors.” The post reassures users that Yearn has fully covered losses to protect user principal, and that “only the vault’s realized yield potential was impacted.” Despite the team disclosing the incident on November 26, it occurred on September 28, with losses covered on October 11. Going forward, similar strategies will offload collateral in “smaller tranches” to reduce the risk of slippage-related losses. An additional “price-guard mechanism” is also in place to act as a circuit breaker. Read more: High yields to haircuts: Has DeFi learned anything from yield vault collapse? The DeFi risk landscape Launched in 2020 as iearn Finance, “DeFi’s Yield Aggregator” hit a peak of $6.9 billion total-value locked (TVL) in late 2021. It currently holds $343 million, according to DeFiLlama data. DeFi is often thought of as a wild-west corner of the already risky wider crypto sector. But many users consider certain long-standing, battle-tested protocols as “blue-chips,” or a safe pairs of hands: Aave for lending, Lido for liquid staking, Yearn for yield. This distinction became clear during the recent spectacular collapse of degen yield vaults such as Stream Finance. Pseudonymous Yearn contributor Schlagonia was among those who raised the alarm over Stream’s xUSD and Elixir’s deUSD “recursively minting” each other’s assets. They called the system a “daisy chain”…
