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.

Curve debates 60M crvUSD pre-mint for Yield Basis amid governance pushback

Curve debates 60M crvUSD pre-mint for Yield Basis amid governance pushback

The post Curve debates 60M crvUSD pre-mint for Yield Basis amid governance pushback appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A proposal to pre-mint 60 million crvUSD to bootstrap Curve’s new Yield Basis AMM is sparking debate across the governance forum and social media, raising deeper questions about the DAO’s authority, risk management, and how to safely scale the protocol’s stablecoin footprint. Yield Basis, led by Curve founder Michael Egorov, is a new Curve-native AMM that uses constant leverage to eliminate impermanent loss in Bitcoin pools. To launch its first three pools — wBTC, cbBTC and tBTC — Yield Basis is asking for a 60 million crvUSD allocation, which it says would be borrowed and paired with BTC to create LP positions on Curve without selling the stablecoin into the market. CrvUSD currently has a market cap of about $127 million, placing it around the 25th-largest stablecoin. Among decentralized stablecoins, however, it’s the third-largest behind USDS/DAI and GHO. Proponents argue the Yield Basis design solves a key bottleneck for scaling crvUSD: demand-side absorption.  “In a way, the pre‑mint is just a borrowing cap,” community member Llamaste wrote, since crvUSD is paired with BTC inside Curve pools rather than sold. Other backers compare the mechanism to Curve’s existing PegKeepers, which also hold pre-allocated crvUSD that doesn’t count toward circulating supply.  But some are more skeptical. TokenBrice, a builder of the DeFi transparency tool DeFiScan, called it “a proposal suggesting to mint out-of-thin-air, unbacked, 60M crvUSD,” adding that this kind of “upgradability risk” contributed to Curve’s “Stage 0” rating in DeFiScan’s decentralization framework. That designation reflects Curve’s powerful DAO permissions, including the ability to arbitrarily mint crvUSD or assign control of key contracts. Curve contributor Saint Rat, who helped draft Curve’s DeFiScan profile, defended the DAO’s structure but acknowledged the optics.  “The Curve DAO could choose to mint $1 trillion crvUSD… but that would kill the DAO,” they wrote. Still, perception matters.…

Together AI Leverages AI Agents for Complex Engineering Automation

The post Together AI Leverages AI Agents for Complex Engineering Automation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lawrence Jengar Aug 22, 2025 08:02 Together AI utilizes AI agents to automate intricate engineering tasks, optimizing LLM inference systems and reducing manual intervention, according to Together AI. Together AI is pioneering the use of AI agents to automate complex engineering workflows, as detailed in a recent blog post. These agents are designed to handle intricate tasks such as configuring environments, launching jobs, and monitoring processes, which traditionally require substantial human oversight. By leveraging AI agents, Together AI aims to reduce manual intervention and increase efficiency in engineering tasks, particularly in the development of efficient Large Language Model (LLM) inference systems. [source] AI Agents for Complex Workflow Automation In the realm of coding agents, tools like Claude Code and OpenHands have demonstrated their ability to execute complex workflows. Together AI’s approach focuses on embedding these agents within an architecture that allows them to operate effectively. This involves equipping the agents with tools that facilitate their interaction with and modification of the environment, enhancing their ability to perform multi-step engineering workflows. Key to this process is selecting tasks that are verifiable, well-defined, and supported by existing tools. Automating repetitive tasks such as infrastructure configuration and job monitoring allows human teams to focus on strategic decision-making while leaving routine operations to AI agents. Patterns for Building Automation Agents Together AI identifies two sets of core patterns for developing effective autonomous agents: Infrastructure Patterns and Behavioral Patterns. Infrastructure Patterns focus on building a robust agentic system environment, emphasizing the importance of good tools, comprehensive documentation, and safe execution practices. Behavioral Patterns guide the agents on how to act, including managing parallel sessions and wait times, and ensuring effective progress monitoring. A Case Study: Speculative Decoding Speculative decoding serves as a case study in Together AI’s…

China Renaissance to Allocate $100M in BNB, Signs Deal with YZi Labs

China Renaissance to Allocate $100M in BNB, Signs Deal with YZi Labs

China Renaissance Holdings Limited has partnered with YZi Labs to deepen its footprint in the crypto asset space, particularly within the BNB Chain ecosystem.  In a voluntary disclosure today, the company revealed the signing of a non-binding Strategic Cooperation Memorandum. $100 Million in BNB Allocation As part of the agreement, China Renaissance will allocate approximately $100 million to BNB. This makes it the first Hong Kong-listed company to include BNB in its crypto asset portfolio.  The move seeks to generate competitive yields from the BNB ecosystem while also securing long-term involvement in high-quality projects within the BNB Chain. The partnership will also focus on promoting Web3 initiatives and the compliant listing of BNB on licensed Hong Kong crypto asset exchanges. In collaboration with China Asset Management (Hong Kong) and other ecosystem players, China Renaissance plans to develop fund-based investment products and further the adoption of BNB through compliant financial channels. RWA Fund to Integrate BNB in Real-World Use Cases Under the guidance and cooperation of YZi Labs, China Renaissance intends to launch a multi-hundred-million-dollar Real-World Asset (RWA) fund. The fund aims to accelerate the integration of BNB public chain technology in stablecoin and RWA applications, particularly among Hong Kong-listed companies. YZi Labs will serve as a strategic advisor in the cooperation, supporting China Renaissance with: Ecosystem project referrals and third-party connections (custodians, validators, infrastructure providers) Branding and promotional support via official channels Collaborative Web3 and capital markets initiatives Together, the parties plan to identify and execute new growth opportunities that benefit China Renaissance’s financial services capabilities and the BNB Chain ecosystem. BNB Breaks New ATH Amid Institutional Frenzy Notably, BNB is the native token of BNB Chain, one of the most actively used blockchains globally. It helps in powering transactions, securing the network through governance, and supporting applications in DeFi and beyond. Market-wise, BNB surged to an all-time high of $881 on Thursday, continuing a strong uptrend with a 35% gain over the past 60 days. A wave of institutional interest has fueled the rally. In July, companies like Windtree Therapeutics and Nano Labs collectively invested $610 million into BNB. However, not all corporate crypto bets have fared well. Windtree’s stock, which initially soared on the announcement, has since plunged nearly 90%, putting it at risk of delisting from the Nasdaq. While the memorandum between China Renaissance and YZi Labs is non-binding and subject to final agreements, the collaboration further confirms institutional confidence in BNB and its ecosystem.
