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.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell Speaks in Jackson Hole! Here Are the Highlights and Bitcoin’s First Reaction!

Fed Chair Jerome Powell Speaks in Jackson Hole! Here Are the Highlights and Bitcoin’s First Reaction!

The post Fed Chair Jerome Powell Speaks in Jackson Hole! Here Are the Highlights and Bitcoin’s First Reaction! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell began his highly anticipated speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Powell offered a lukewarm signal about interest rate cuts, while highlighting the high level of uncertainty that makes the job of monetary policymakers difficult. Powell Signals Interest Rate Cut! Highlights of Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole symposium are as follows: “When I took this podium a year ago, the economy was at a turning point. Our policy interest rate had been hovering between 5.5% and 5.5% for more than a year. This restrictive policy stance was appropriate to help reduce inflation and maintain a sustainable balance between aggregate demand and supply. Upside risks to inflation had diminished. But this year, the economy is facing new challenges. Significantly increased tariffs across our trading partners are reshaping the global trading system. While the labor market appears to be in equilibrium overall, this equilibrium is a curious one, emerging as a result of a significant slowdown in both labor supply and demand. This unusual situation suggests increasing downside risks to the labor market. Turning to inflation, the latest data show that 12-month PCE inflation rose by 2.6% in July. Core inflation rose by 2.9%. Labor supply has weakened in line with demand. The balance of risks is shifting. At this point, the fact that policy is in restrictive territory, the fundamental outlook, and the changing balance of risks may require us to adjust our monetary policy stance. “Tariffs pose a risk of a resurgence in inflation, and a recession remains a scenario the Fed must avoid. However, the baseline scenario is that we believe the impact of tariffs on inflation will be short-lived.” Powell’s speech appears to have been cautiously moderate, hinting at potential interest rate cuts but making no commitment to a definitive rate cut.

Bitcoin Treasury Companies Curb Their Enthusiasm as BTC Price Slips

Bitcoin Treasury Companies Curb Their Enthusiasm as BTC Price Slips

The post Bitcoin Treasury Companies Curb Their Enthusiasm as BTC Price Slips appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Publicly listed Bitcoin treasury companies are hitting pause as BTC loses ground, raising early red flags for institutional demand. As Bitcoin (BTC) slid from $124,000 to around $113,426 this month, another signal of cooling momentum is emerging: the number of publicly listed companies actively buying Bitcoin appears to be falling sharply. Data from Capriole Investments, a hedge fund specializing in Bitcoin, tracks this activity through its “BTC Treasuries Companies Buying Per Day” indicator, which measures the rolling average of daily buyers among publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin. Capriole founder Charles Edwards explained in an interview with The Defiant that a value above 1 indicates that, on average, at least one company has been purchasing BTC daily over the past month. The data is drawn from press releases, corporate statements, and reported balances across all 153 publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies worldwide. BTC Treasuries Companies Buying Per Day The metric has declined from roughly four companies buying daily in late June to 2.67 as of press time, marking a clear slowdown. Edwards suggests that the trend is unlikely to have been triggered by Strategy’s recent controversial update to its equity issuance policy, which allowed the company to issue shares even when MSTR trades below 2.5 times its net asset value (mNAV). “[The fall in Bitcoin treasury companies buying BTC is] unrelated to strategy as it has been trending down for a few weeks, but it is a warning sign,” Edwards said. “Want to see this number pick up again soon, otherwise it could be the early stages of a more serious pull back – too early to tell and dips (in all metrics) are normal. But it’s a first red flag of reduced treasury company activity, which could be a symptom of other concerning factors,” he added. BTC ETF Weekly Flows…

VanEck Files JitoSOL ETF After SEC Says Liquid Staking Isn’t a Security

VanEck Files JitoSOL ETF After SEC Says Liquid Staking Isn’t a Security

The post VanEck Files JitoSOL ETF After SEC Says Liquid Staking Isn’t a Security appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Asset manager VanEck has filed for a JitoSOL ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This marks a historic shift as this fund could become the first to invest mainly in a liquid staking token (LST). VanEck Files S-1 For JitoSOL ETF With SEC A SEC filing has shown that the asset manager has filed its registration statement to offer a JitoSOL with the Commission. This fund will primarily hold the liquid staking token, providing institutional investors with spot exposure to the token. This move follows the SEC’s guidance on liquid staking activities, in which the Commission clarified that they do not classify them as securities. This paves the way for the potential approval of the JitoSOL ETF since LST doesn’t qualify as a security. Furthermore, VanEck noted in the filing that the fund expects to receive certain staking rewards through its ownership of JitoSOL. The LST is the native token of the liquid staking protocol Jito, which users receive when they stake their Solana tokens. This means that VanEck will need to acquire Solana for its JitoSOL ETF, which it will then stake with the Jito protocol and receive these LSTs in return. The asset manager will also receive staking rewards in the process, while they may use their tokens for other DeFi purposes. Notably, the asset manager was one of those who had urged the SEC to approve LSTs in Solana ETFs. Following the S-1 filing, a stock exchange is expected to file the 19b-4 form to list and trade shares of this JitoSOL ETF. The 19b-4 filing will also kickstart the review process, with the SEC having to deny or approve the proposed rule change eventually. TradingView data shows that the JitoSOL price is up amid this filing. The LST is currently trading at around…

The Fastest Route From $100 to Early Retirement

The Fastest Route From $100 to Early Retirement

The post The Fastest Route From $100 to Early Retirement appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News A new executive order signed by former President Trump could reshape how Americans save for retirement by allowing 401(k) plans to include alternative assets such as cryptocurrency, private equity, and real estate alongside traditional stocks and bonds.  While this shift would “democratize” access to investments once reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy, it also brings heightened risks. Private equity funds often come with steep fees and decade-long lockups, while crypto’s volatility and lack of regulation make it a risky bet for retirement portfolios. Experts caution that while these assets might appeal to younger investors willing to take on higher risk, they may not always be the “best” opportunities, with employers ultimately responsible for offering prudent options under fiduciary law. This policy change reflects a broader trend where digital assets are increasingly woven into mainstream finance. With crypto gaining traction in treasury strategies, ETFs, and now potentially retirement plans, investor exposure to the sector is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Within this landscape, projects like Tapzi stand out for building real utility beyond speculation. Unlike tokens tied purely to price swings, Tapzi’s focus on skill-based Web3 gaming, transparent prize pools, and developer integration points to a structural model where token value is tied to ecosystem growth. For long-term investors weighing which altcoins could move from niche assets to foundational infrastructure, Tapzi provides a case study in how gaming and blockchain would intersect in the next cycle of adoption. Hence, it emerges as one of the best crypto coins to buy now, amongst others. Discover 6 other promising crypto coins to buy in August that can drive similar results. 7 Best Crypto Coins To Buy Now With Low Entry Point For Early Retirement Below is a list of the 7 best crypto coins to buy now: Tapzi (TAPZI) Kaspa (KAS)…

Bitcoin News: Owning BTC Disallowed For Lawmakers Per Pennsylvania HB 1812 Bill

Bitcoin News: Owning BTC Disallowed For Lawmakers Per Pennsylvania HB 1812 Bill

The post Bitcoin News: Owning BTC Disallowed For Lawmakers Per Pennsylvania HB 1812 Bill appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent Bitcoin news on the regulatory front, Lawmakers in the U.S might soon not be allowed to buy Bitcoin. This is because of the Pennsylvania HB 1812 bill which proposes banning public officials and their families from owning BTC. The Pennsylvania HB 1812 bill proposed restricting government officials from accessing to Bitcoin and other digital assets. This includes owning or transacting cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and ETFs during their tenures and at least 12 months after leaving office. Source: X Moreover, the bill also proposes extending the ban on to family members of the public officials. Proxies that can be used to bypass the ban are also under the purview of this ban. According to the bill, any public officials found to be in violation of the bill will be fined as much as $50,000. They will also be required to disclose any holdings above $1,000. Moreover, any crypto holdings that politicians own must be sold off at least 90 days before they assume office. Bitcoin News: Here’s the Motive Behind the Pennsylvania HB 1812 Bill The Pennsylvania HB 1812 bill was a nod to similar bills introduced in the past, with intent to block lawmakers from trading stocks. This bill was introduced because politicians were previously using privileged information to make trades. The bill was introduced because politicians were using their positions for insider trading. This was likely the same reason why the Pennsylvania HB 1812 bill was introduced especially now that digital currencies are going mainstream. According to the state website, the bill was in the first committee assessment stage, in other words, it was still too early to tell whether it would eventually be ascended into law. Meanwhile, the bill’s effectiveness was also in question. The aforementioned law banning lawmakers from investing in stocks did not yield much…
