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.

XLM Crashes Through Support as Volume Doubles in 24 Hours

XLM Crashes Through Support as Volume Doubles in 24 Hours

The post XLM Crashes Through Support as Volume Doubles in 24 Hours appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stellar’s native token XLM faced intense pressure over the past 24 hours, plunging from a session high of $0.398 to a low of $0.380. The 5% swing unfolded amid heavy sell-side activity, with the most dramatic capitulation striking on Aug. 25 at 19:00 UTC, when prices tumbled from $0.393 to $0.387. That move coincided with a surge of 46.16 million tokens changing hands—well above the daily average—effectively locking in $0.393 as a formidable resistance zone. The selloff reached its peak just an hour later as XLM tested the $0.380 support level on unprecedented trading volume of 95.27 million tokens, confirming the level as a critical line of defense for bulls. Despite the pressure, the token rebounded into the close, clawing back to $0.389 by the end of the session and underscoring the resilience of buyer demand at the $0.380 floor. Market sentiment is being shaped by broader developments as well. A recently filed U.S.-based crypto ETF aims to spotlight homegrown digital assets, including Stellar, potentially opening the door to new waves of institutional capital. At the same time, technical patterns suggest that XLM is coiling beneath a major resistance level near $0.50, with traders eyeing the possibility of a breakout if momentum shifts back to the upside. Intraday trading action highlighted this tension. Between 07:20 and 08:19 UTC on Aug. 26, XLM navigated a narrow band between $0.387 and $0.392, logging a modest 0.18% gain from its session open. The brief rally to $0.392 was powered by bursts of high-volume buying, but profit-taking capped momentum. With volumes surging 115% on the day to $402 million, the clash between heavy selling pressure and potential whale accumulation remains the defining narrative for Stellar’s near-term trajectory. XLM/USD (TradingView) Technical Indicators Analysis Price battlefield: $0.018 representing a brutal 5% war zone from $0.398 maximum…

Stablecoin in Korea: Industry Wants Regulation to Come Faster

Stablecoin in Korea: Industry Wants Regulation to Come Faster

The post Stablecoin in Korea: Industry Wants Regulation to Come Faster appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. South Korea is racing against time to regulate stablecoins. The regulators are finalizing stablecoin legislation while industry players urge faster regulatory clarity to compete globally. A seminar held on Monday at the National Assembly in Seoul gave a glimpse of the state of the industry. Regulators Push Legislation Since RedoPay, a Hong Kong company’s crypto payment service, launched in Korea last May, there has been a wide discussion in the industry that foreign-issued tokens like USDT (Tether) are already being used in everyday transactions, while domestic projects remain stalled by legal uncertainty. The seminar speakers expressed concerns that the country risks falling further behind its international competitors unless it acts quickly. Lawmaker Min Byung-duk said, “Strong winds (of stablecoins) are blowing now. Many said they would carefully review digital assets, but never actually did. I created the draft law through public reviews—now let’s discuss it.” While the National Assembly has already received multiple drafts about stablecoin legislation, including Min’s first bill, the government is trying to propose its own legal basis for issuing won-backed stablecoins and overseeing foreign-issued tokens already in circulation. Kim Sung-jin, head of the Financial Services Commission’s (FSC) Virtual Assets Division, said, “The FSC will actively support the National Assembly so discussions can begin in earnest.” He said internal work on the legislation is nearly finished, adding that strong anti-money laundering (AML) safeguards and practical payment use cases must guide the legislative process. The government’s draft is expected to be ready in October. Central Bank Holds onto CBDC and Bank-issued Tokens The Bank of Korea, the central bank, has been on the opposite side of lawmakers. Bank Governor Rhee Chang-yong has publicly opposed allowing non-banks to issue won-backed stablecoins, warning of 19th-century private currency chaos repeating. He has argued that unrestricted stablecoin issuance could clash with foreign…

How To Choose A College In Trump’s America

How To Choose A College In Trump’s America

The post How To Choose A College In Trump’s America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Along with academic fit, cost, and career outcomes, students now need to consider the impact of the federal assault on research funding, foreign students and “woke” colleges. There’s no sugar coating it: This is a particularly stressful time to be a high school student (or the parents of one) selecting a college. In addition to weighing academic fit, net cost (after school aid) and the career prospects of graduates, you need to consider a college’s financial condition and which of its programs might be at risk from a wave of cost-cutting that could become a tsunami. Politics are increasingly a consideration, too, both in terms of how President Donald Trump’s assault on “woke” colleges, federal research funding and foreign students might affect a specific school and in terms of how comfortable a student (or parents) feel with a particular community or state in these polarized times. “No Florida. No Texas.” That’s what veteran Atlanta-based college counselor Mark Stucker, founder of School Match 4U, has been hearing more often from progressive families. Even before Trump reclaimed the White House, they were turned off by those two states’ high-profile Republican governors and their meddling in state university affairs. Meanwhile, Stucker’s clients from Ohio, Texas and other red states worry about protests getting out of control on “woke” blue state campuses. While politics are playing a growing role, Stucker also neatly puts them in perspective: Over the last 15 years he has seen growing student interest in “football and fun and warm weather” and parental interest in whether, after college, students “will be gainfully employed with a good salary.’’ As we prepared Forbes’ new America’s Top Colleges list, we looked at the numbers and talked to experts, to come up with useful pointers on how to choose a college. Most are tried and…

Bitwise files S-1 for Chainlink LINK ETF, first in US

Bitwise files S-1 for Chainlink LINK ETF, first in US

The post Bitwise files S-1 for Chainlink LINK ETF, first in US appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bitwise has filed an S-1 to launch a Chainlink ETF that would provide US investors regulated exposure to the LINK token. The ETF, if approved, would be among the first US funds focused on an oracle network token, directly holding LINK and tracking the CME CF Chainlink-Dollar Reference Rate. American fund manager Bitwise Asset Management is seeking approval from the US SEC to offer a new exchange-traded product that would track the price of Chainlink (LINK), the token powering the decentralized oracle network. According to a preliminary prospectus filed with the SEC today, the proposed fund, the Bitwise Chainlink ETF, will hold LINK directly in custody with Coinbase Custody Trust Company and track the CME CF Chainlink-Dollar Reference Rate. If approved, the fund would expand Bitwise’s growing lineup of single-token crypto ETFs and represent one of the first US ETFs focused on an oracle network’s native token, following the SEC’s recent approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Bitwise is awaiting the SEC decision on several crypto ETF offerings, including those tied to XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Aptos. Launched in 2019, Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that connects blockchains with real-world data. It enables smart contracts to securely integrate and interact with external inputs, such as financial market data. The protocol has grown to support thousands of projects and underpins key functions in DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and cross-chain interoperability. Chainlink’s services now include decentralized data feeds, verifiable randomness for gaming, automated contract execution, and tools for linking assets across blockchains. Its role as infrastructure for reliable, tamper-resistant data has made LINK, the network’s native token, one of the leading digital assets by market capitalization. LINK stands as the 13th biggest crypto asset, trading close to $23 in recent sessions, CoinGecko data shows. Source: https://cryptobriefing.com/chainlink-link-etf-bitwise-filing/
