DeFi

DeFi eliminates intermediaries by using smart contracts on blockchains to provide financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading. In 2026, the "DeFi 3.0" era is defined by Institutional DeFi and the integration of Real-World Assets (RWA). From liquidity provisioning on Uniswap to advanced lending on Aave, this tag tracks the evolution of autonomous financial systems, yield optimization, and the rise of AI-driven portfolio management in the decentralized economy.

Buy the Dip, Says Geoff Kendrick

Buy the Dip, Says Geoff Kendrick

The post Buy the Dip, Says Geoff Kendrick appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ether (ETH) and the ETH treasury companies are cheap at today’s levels, Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, said in emailed comments Tuesday. Since the start of June, ether (ETH) treasury companies have purchased 2.6% of all ETH in circulation. When combined with exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows since then, the combination of the two has purchased a staggering 4.9% of all ETH in circulation, the analyst noted. As a result the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency hit a fresh all-time high of $4,955, on Sunday 24, Kendrick said. Although these inflows have been significant, the point, said Kendrick, is that they are just getting started. He previously estimated that the treasury companies would end up owning 10% of all ETH in circulation, a goal that definitely seems in reach. Despite the recent plunge in ETH, Kendrick is sticking with his previous forecast that ether would reach $7,500 by year-end. He views the sell-off to below $4,500 over the last two days as creating a great entry point. Turning to the valuation of ether treasury companies, Kendrick said they have continued to normalize. The mNAV multiples (the ratio of the value of their crypto holdings versus stock market capitalization) for Sharplink Gaming and Bitmine Immersion have declined, falling below that of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR). Given that the ether treasury companies are able to capture ETH’s 3% staking yield, Kendrick sees no reason for the mNAV multiples to be below that of MSTR (which captures no such staking yield). Furthermore, the SBET announcement on Friday that it will repurchase stock if the NAV multiple falls below 1.0, creates a hard floor for the ETH treasury multiples, he added. ETH ETF Flows Remained Strong Despite Sell-Off Despite Monday’s market rout, which dragged ether (ETH) down 8% — about four times…

Bitcoin Dominance Drops to 8-Month Low, Signals Altseason

Bitcoin Dominance Drops to 8-Month Low, Signals Altseason

The post Bitcoin Dominance Drops to 8-Month Low, Signals Altseason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin dominance has dropped significantly. A drop in Bitcoin dominance signals a momentum buildup for an altseason. The altcoin market cap has surged to $1.55 trillion. According to a cryptocurrency analyst on X, there is an altseason momentum buildup, reflected in a significant drop in Bitcoin dominance. In his latest post, the analyst noted that Bitcoin dominance has dropped to its lowest level in nearly eight months, a development that could signal a potential altcoin season. How Much Has Bitcoin Dominance Fallen? Data from TradingView shows a significant decline in Bitcoin’s market share since late June. The key metric dropped from a peak of 66.03% on June 25 to 57.69% as of August 24.  This decline reflects a clear power shift in the crypto market. The move follows a period where Bitcoin dominated the headlines and saw massive capital inflows that pushed its price to a new all-time high of $124,517. While Bitcoin led the rally, several altcoins like XRP, which hit a new all-time high of $3.66 in July, posted impressive performances. Related: Bitcoin Dominance Drops Below 60% as Altseason Speculation Intensifies Is Capital Actually Rotating Into Altcoins? Yes, on-chain data confirms a steady rise in the total altcoin market capitalization. Despite a recent pullback, the crucial metric holds a value of $1.55 trillion value at the time of writing, according to TradingView’s data.  Related: 5 Signs That Tells Altseason Is About to Commence—What Are They? The total altcoin market cap has surged over 67% since the last week of June, a clear signal that capital is rotating from Bitcoin and potentially mainstream stocks directly into the altcoin market. Does a Drop in Dominance Mean Bitcoin’s Price Will Crash? No, a drop in the Bitcoin dominance metric does not automatically mean a crash in Bitcoin’s price.  At the time…

But the club would much rather he was playing in attack. The visit of Liverpool had been noted as a huge encounter for months, given the Premier League champion’s pursuit of striker Alexander Isak, which has caused the Swede to effectively go on strike in order to force a move to Anfield. The tone was set from the moment the away team arrived. As the players stepped off the bus, they were met by as chorus of boos. Liverpool coach Arne Slot could be seen smiling; though he had never spoken publicly about Isak or attempts to sign him, which has resulted in one rejected bid of £110m ($148m), it was clear he was expecting that raucous greeting. Intensity only grew from there. The Newcastle fan group “Wor Flags”, famed for impressive flag displays at St James’ Park to reflect the city’s mood before a big game, made a beeline for Isak. A growing number of supporters resent him for perceived selfish actions,…

Is Trump Firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook Legal? What To Know

Is Trump Firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook Legal? What To Know

The post Is Trump Firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook Legal? What To Know appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook intends to sue President Donald Trump over his decision to fire her, her lawyer said Tuesday, teeing up a contentious court battle over whether Trump has the authority to terminate her—and it remains unclear how it will be resolved, though experts suggest the president is likely in the wrong. Lisa Cook testifies during a Senate Banking nominations hearing on June 21, 2023 in Washington, DC. Getty Images Key Facts Cook’s attorney Abbe Lowell said Tuesday the Fed governor “will be filing a lawsuit challenging this illegal action,” claiming Trump’s decision to fire Cook “lacks any factual or legal basis.” Trump released a letter Monday night announcing he was firing Cook, citing allegations that she made false statements on her mortgage agreements and saying that “calls into question [her] competence and trustworthiness as a federal regulator.” Cook has pushed back against her firing, saying in a statement Monday night she will not resign and arguing Trump “purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so.” The Federal Reserve Act allows presidents to appoint governors to the Federal Reserve board, and also gives them limited authority to fire them, saying the president can only terminate a board member “for cause”—which typically refers to gross misconduct. While Trump cited the mortgage allegations as a reason to fire Cook, legal experts have questioned whether that actually constitutes “just cause” under the law, as any allegations would typically have to be investigated first, and the governor being probed would have an opportunity to present evidence in their defense. Columbia University law professor Lev Menand also told the Associated Press that “just cause” typically refers to misconduct that happens while on the job, and Cook “is not someone…

What Makes This Hybrid Protocol Stand Out

What Makes This Hybrid Protocol Stand Out

The post What Makes This Hybrid Protocol Stand Out appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Most blockchain projects spend their lives optimizing for performance or scaling the tech stack. Yet few stop to ask, who’s it really for? BlockDAG answers that with a bold shift in priorities.  Instead of sticking to the usual sequential block structure, it reinvents the protocol through a hybrid model that fuses Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) with blockchain’s trust framework.  But this isn’t just about increasing throughput or concurrency. It’s about rethinking what a network can do when it prioritizes people as much as protocols. With over $384 million raised in its presale, Batch 29 priced at $0.0276, and a staggering 2,660% ROI since Batch 1, BlockDAG is proving that this approach resonates far beyond theory. Parallelism Over Linearity, Solving the Throughput Bottleneck Traditional blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum were built on linear confirmation logic: one block gets validated, then the next. While secure, this serialized model quickly runs into performance issues, especially as demand surges. BlockDAG breaks that mold. By integrating DAG architecture, it enables transactions to be confirmed in parallel, not just one after another. This design massively increases throughput and reduces confirmation times without sacrificing integrity. Instead of choosing between decentralization, speed, or security, BlockDAG optimizes all three by letting consensus happen across multiple threads. That means more transactions per second, greater real-time responsiveness, and better support for emerging use cases like IoT, gaming, or finance that demand scale and speed simultaneously. But the tech doesn’t stop at architecture. The protocol also incorporates Proof-of-Work elements to ensure trust while still benefiting from DAG’s scalability. It’s a blend that takes the best from both worlds and removes the common compromises. It’s why over 25 billion BDAG coins have already been sold during presale, because the model isn’t theoretical. It’s functional and future-ready. Real Engagement, Not Just Smart Contracts Plenty…

Sui Surpasses $100B in Stablecoin Transfers, Dominates Blockchain Ecosystem

Sui dominates blockchain with over $100B in stablecoin transfers. DeFi TVL surpasses $2 billion, signaling strong institutional interest. SUI token price experiences volatility ahead of major unlock event. Sui has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing $100 billion in stablecoin transfers in August alone, setting it apart from competitors like Arbitrum and Polygon. As a stablecoin transaction becomes a key element in DeFi protocols, NFT trade, and payments, Sui has become an unquestionable leader in the blockchain industry. This expansion also applies to Sui’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, which has hit a high of $130 billion. The network, with its innovative architecture that supports parallel processing and low-cost transactions, is fast gaining developers and users. All these technological features are driving the network’s growth to the extent that it is most prominent among other blockchain solutions in terms of scalability and efficiency. $SUI surpasses $100 billion stablecoin transfer volume in August pic.twitter.com/xWbVBmX9V5 — ToreroRomero (@Torero_Romero) August 26, 2025 Also Read: Shiba Inu Set for Major Price Shift as Key Moving Average Crossover Looms Institutional Attention and Robust Ecosystem Growth Sui’s increasing on-chain activity is drawing attention from institutional players, further validating its growing significance. The decentralized finance (DeFi) Total Value Locked (TVL) on the network has surpassed the 2 billion mark, which indicates its significance in the DeFi environment. Moreover, Sygnum Bank’s decision to provide custody services to the SUI token indicates the interest of institutional investors in this network. Although the SUI price has experienced short-term volatility, at a current price of about 3.37, future projections are optimistic. With over 159 million SUI tokens set to be unlocked on September 1, there are expectations of a price surge toward $5, though the market reaction remains uncertain. The increase in the number of Sui stablecoin transfers, DEX volume, and institutional interest indicates that Sui’s power within the blockchain ecosystem is growing. Despite some price fluctuations, Sui’s long-term potential remains strong as it continues to gain traction and redefine blockchain scalability.
