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.

90,000 Early Deaths Every Year Caused By Air Pollution From Oil And Gas, Study Says

90,000 Early Deaths Every Year Caused By Air Pollution From Oil And Gas, Study Says

The post 90,000 Early Deaths Every Year Caused By Air Pollution From Oil And Gas, Study Says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Scientists have linked the air pollution caused by the collection, transportation and refilement processes of oil and gas to more than 90,000 early deaths—and 10,000 pre-term births—each year in the United States, with minority groups bearing a disproportionate burden of health impacts. Silhouetted oil pumps in California. Getty Images Key Facts Scientists at University College London, George Washington University, University of Colorado Boulder and Stockholm Environment Institute examined the health impacts at every stage of the oil and gas supply chain in a study published Friday in the journal Science Advances. Researchers found that 20% of pre-term births and adult deaths were connected to fine particulate pollution from oil and gas, and that 90% of new childhood asthma cases tied to nitrogen dioxide pollution were caused by the industry. The study found that all stages of the oil and gas “lifecycle” produce air pollutants that either directly harm public health or create additional health-damaging pollutants, but each stage causes different health problems that impact different groups. Health outcomes caused from long-term exposure to oil and gas pollutants include premature death, preterm births, childhood-onset asthma and cancers, and Texas and California residents carry the greatest health burden for almost all stages of production. Black and Asian people are most impacted by emissions from processing, refining, distribution and use, while Indigenous and Hispanic populations are hit hardest by pollution caused by exploration, extraction and transportation. “Downstream” activities (like oil refining, gas processing and synthesis of petrochemical products) produce less air pollution than any of the other three defined “lifecycle” phases in the study, but cause the most unequal health burden, with impacts concentrated in majority-Black areas like parts of southern Louisiana and eastern Texas.

Libra Token Soars After $57.6 Million in Frozen Stablecoins Are Released

Libra Token Soars After $57.6 Million in Frozen Stablecoins Are Released

The post Libra Token Soars After $57.6 Million in Frozen Stablecoins Are Released appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency, promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei, has jumped 134% over the past week after a U.S. court unfroze funds linked to the token scandal. Libra, the cryptocurrency promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei, continued to attract attention on Friday, Aug. 22, following the unfreezing earlier this week of $57.6 million in stablecoins tied to the February 2025 memecoin scandal. The token surged to a high of $0.048 on Aug. 21, following the court decision – 1,000% higher than the $0.0048 it was trading the day before. Since then, it has retraced to $0.025, down 42% on the day but still up 134% over the past week, according to CoinGecko. Libra’s market capitalization currently exceeds $6.6 million, with a fully diluted valuation of $25.7 million. LIBRA Chart The surge follows a U.S. judge lifting the freeze on $57.6 million in USDC stablecoins connected to the Libra scandal earlier this week. The funds were frozen in June by the Southern District of New York as part of a class-action lawsuit against memecoin promoter Hayden Davis, former Meteora CEO Ben Chow, and blockchain infrastructure company KIP Protocol. However, Judge Jennifer L. Rochon noted this week that the plaintiffs hadn’t shown “irreparable harm” and that defendants were not acting like “evasive actors,” The Defiant previously reported. Case highlights larger issues Following the judge’s decision, the situation raised broader questions about how stablecoins are managed and recovered in cases of mismanagement or fraud. Tom Gillingham, the Vice President of Growth and Strategy at Circuit, told The Defiant that while mechanisms like freezing and unfreezing stablecoins can help in such cases, they do not fully address more common risks such as hacks or operational failures. “In those cases, what matters most is how quickly funds can be accessed once an incident occurs, and whether…

The Rise Of The Consumer Visionary Merchant

The Rise Of The Consumer Visionary Merchant

The post The Rise Of The Consumer Visionary Merchant appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Manager using digital tablet on blurred store as background getty Retailers are navigating relentless disruption—and nowhere is the impact more acute than in merchandising. Merchandising is the heart and soul of retail—the bridge between product selection and customer engagement, shaping both sales and brand loyalty. From sourcing at the right price to planning where and how to sell, merchants partner with planning and inventory teams to forecast trends and position stock. Historically, success was measured by margins, turns, and sales. Merchants won by reading seasonal trends, cultivating supplier relationships, and interpreting market dynamics. At the same time, merchants face economic headwinds, geopolitical challenges, inflation, and supply chain disruptions that have shifted from exceptions to assumptions. With more than half (54%) of consumers viewing uncertainty as the new normal (Accenture’s Latest Consumer Pulse Survey), retailers must build resilience and expand what “consumer-focused” means. It’s no longer just selling products—it’s building true consumer intimacy. This demands that merchants immerse themselves in the whole person: their needs, their desires, their and their world. Because consumer behaviors shift quickly, static plans give way to real-time adjustments and rapid test-and-learn—ready to pivot when the unexpected happens. With retail more complex than it’s ever been, and merchandising at the center of it all, the question is whether the merchant role evolves—or is redefined entirely. A New Way Forward: The ‘Consumer Visionary’ We’re already seeing merchants evolve into Consumer Visionaries—leaders who blend deep human understanding with technology to make fast, informed calls. They prioritize sustainability, know how to create engaging experiences and content, and build partnerships that go beyond traditional supplier relationships. However, it’s not just what people buy—it’s why. Curiosity about psychology and culture, paired with technology, turns insight into action that benefits customers and the business. Consider social commerce: platforms like TikTok Shop have erased…

Can Trump Deploy National Guard In Chicago Next? Here’s What To Know.

Can Trump Deploy National Guard In Chicago Next? Here’s What To Know.

The post Can Trump Deploy National Guard In Chicago Next? Here’s What To Know. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline President Donald Trump suggested Friday his deployment of the National Guard and city police in Washington D.C. will be replicated in Chicago “probably next,” with more cities to follow—a prospect that would be more difficult for him legally than his activities in Washington, though he does still have ways to use the military on U.S. soil. Military vehicles with the National Guard near the Washington Monument on August 12 in Washington, DC. Getty Images Key Facts Trump signed executive orders last week directing his administration to take temporary control of Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and deploy National Guard troops to the city, in order to combat what Trump has misleadingly claimed is a rise in crime. The president has suggested his actions in Washington will “go further” and he’ll take similar steps in other cities—singling out places including New York, Chicago, Baltimore and Oakland—with the Washington Post reporting on the possibility of a “reaction force” of National Guard troops who are continually on guard to be deployed to various cities. Trump reiterated his intention to go into other cities on Friday, saying he will “go to another location” and “make it safe also” after his Washington takeover and specifying Chicago is “probably next.” Trump’s use of the police and military in Washington appear to be so far broadly legal, as the Home Rule Act that establishes Washington’s governance allows the president to temporarily use the MPD for “federal purposes,” and the president has more control over Washington’s National Guard than troops in other states. But the president would face more legal restrictions in other cities, Joseph Nunn, an attorney at the Brennan Center for Justice, told Forbes, saying, “Most of what the Trump administration is doing in Washington DC is not repeatable anywhere else, at least in the…

Ethereum Slips From Highs — MAGACOIN FINANCE Tipped as Stronger 2025 Growth Bet

Ethereum Slips From Highs — MAGACOIN FINANCE Tipped as Stronger 2025 Growth Bet

The post Ethereum Slips From Highs — MAGACOIN FINANCE Tipped as Stronger 2025 Growth Bet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency market is known for its cycles of euphoria and correction. Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest blockchain, remains a cornerstone of the industry but often experiences periods of consolidation after major rallies. Even with ongoing upgrades designed to improve scalability and efficiency, investors continue to ask a familiar question: Where will the strongest growth come from in the next market cycle? Ethereum’s pullbacks frequently open the door for new opportunities. Analysts note that while ETH will likely maintain its role as a dominant layer-1 blockchain, the outsized gains in crypto often emerge from fresh projects with strong narratives and fast-growing communities. Increasingly, that spotlight is falling on MAGACOIN FINANCE. Ethereum’s Long-Term Role Ethereum has cemented its place as the foundation for decentralized applications, NFTs, and DeFi. Its upgrades — including higher staking limits, faster validator activation, and tools like account abstraction — ensure the network is evolving for long-term adoption. Future milestones, such as sharding, aim to reduce costs and further scale capacity, reinforcing Ethereum’s central position in the digital economy. Still, history shows that Ethereum’s growth tends to be steadier than explosive once it reaches maturity. This creates space for emerging altcoins to capture investor excitement, particularly those combining strong branding with momentum-driven communities. Market Rotation Creates Openings When established coins like Ethereum consolidate, investors often rotate into smaller projects with more aggressive growth potential. Analysts say this cycle is no different. While ETH, Bitcoin, and other large-cap assets remain important, traders looking for sharper returns tend to pivot into tokens positioned as breakout plays. MAGACOIN FINANCE is increasingly being highlighted as one of the Best Altcoins to Buy Now in this environment. Its early success, growing visibility, and positioning as a culturally resonant token suggest it could be one of the beneficiaries of this rotation. Why Analysts Say…

Why Wall Street’s old guard still won’t touch crypto

Why Wall Street’s old guard still won’t touch crypto

The post Why Wall Street’s old guard still won’t touch crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin and crypto seem to be on the verge of mainstream adoption, with US spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) shattering inflow records, Goldman Sachs holding more crypto ETF shares issued by BlackRock than any other institution, and corporate treasuries from Strategy to Bitmine embracing digital assets. However, a recent survey from Bank of America showed three-quarters of global fund managers remain steadfast in their refusal to touch digital assets. According to Max Gokhman, deputy chief investment officer for Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions, the paradoxical numbers aren’t due to regulatory uncertainty or operational complexity, as those barriers have largely been addressed. In an interview with CryptoSlate, Gokhman said the skewed numbers stem from fear, misconception, and the industry’s struggle with abandoning deeply held beliefs about what constitutes legitimate investment. Gokhman spent years watching traditional finance grapple with the digital asset revolution. He noted: “The biggest reason is it takes a while for an established industry to realize that they’re falling behind. There’s this fear of the unknown that exists.” The stewardship paradox Fund managers pride themselves on fiduciary responsibility, but this protective instinct has created a paradox: the desire to safeguard client assets prevents managers from accessing opportunities their clients increasingly demand. According to Gokhman: “Part of being a good steward is being aware of what your clients want. Clients from retail to institutional level are more interested in digital assets, but they’re finding that their investment managers are not actually there with solutions.” The resistance stems from persistent misconceptions. One notion is that it’s all hyper-speculative and lacks value, while the other is that there is a lack of staff with the expertise to create legitimate investment solutions using digital assets. The memecoin trap When Gokhman encounters skeptical colleagues, the conversation follows a predictable script. Traditional finance stalwarts mention memecoins as…
