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.

Biggest Shiba Inu Coin Bull Right Now? 3,000,000,000,000 SHIB out of Coinbase Prove It

Biggest Shiba Inu Coin Bull Right Now? 3,000,000,000,000 SHIB out of Coinbase Prove It

The post Biggest Shiba Inu Coin Bull Right Now? 3,000,000,000,000 SHIB out of Coinbase Prove It appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Aug. 15, one of the largest Shiba Inu (SHIB) transfers in weeks occurred on the Ethereum blockchain when a Coinbase Institutional wallet sent three trillion SHIB — valued at $38,244,783 at the time — to a new private address. The receiving wallet had no history before, and five days later it still shows SHIB as its only holding. Based on current prices, that holding is worth about $37,290,000. You Might Also Like This amount of SHIB exceeds what most midsized exchanges carry in visible reserves, and removing it from Coinbase reduced the exchange’s liquid balance. To put this in perspective, this transfer alone equals nearly 0.5% of SHIB’s circulating supply, which would place it among the top 50 SHIB addresses. Source: Etherscan The wallet currently holds no ETH or other ERC-20 tokens, suggesting that this was not a portfolio reshuffle but a direct transfer to a new address. The purpose of this move remains uncertain: cold storage, custodial transfer or preparation for staking and DeFi pools. What’s with Shiba Inu (SHIB) price? Shiba Inu has a market capitalization of $7.31 billion, daily trading volumes of $187.79 million and price action that has been under pressure, down over 8% over the past week. Moves of this magnitude does not change fundamentals overnight, though they chip away at available supply on exchanges. You Might Also Like A total of $37,290,000 worth of coins changing hands in a single transaction is enough to make this wallet the biggest Shiba Inu bull of the week. While it does not explain why the move was made, one clear fact remains: Coinbase lost $38,000,000 in SHIB inventory to a holder who seems in no hurry to sell.

Pennsylvania bill bans public officials from crypto transactions, mandates disclosures

Pennsylvania bill bans public officials from crypto transactions, mandates disclosures

The post Pennsylvania bill bans public officials from crypto transactions, mandates disclosures appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pennsylvania lawmakers introduced new legislation on Aug. 20 that will require public officials to disclose digital asset holdings exceeding $1,000 and divest anything above that threshold within 90 days of the bill coming into effect. The legislation also prohibits officials from conducting crypto transactions during their term and for one year after leaving office. The bill, HB1812, amends Title 65 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding ethics standards for public officials, and was referred to the State Government Committee the same day. It introduces a definition of “digital assets” that encompasses various forms of digital currency and tokens, including crypto and NFTs.  The legislation also prohibits public officials’ immediate families from engaging in certain financial transactions during the politician’s term and for one year after leaving office. Rep. Ben Waxman sponsors HB1812 with seven other co-sponsors, including Freeman, Giral, Pielli, Probst, Hill-Evans, Sanchez, Otten, and Briggs. Disclosure and divestiture requirements Public officials must disclose any financial interest in digital assets exceeding $1,000 in their statements of financial interests. Officials who already possess such interests must divest their holdings within 90 days after the bill takes effect. The disclosure requirements apply to both direct holdings and investments through immediate family members. The $1,000 threshold aligns with existing financial disclosure standards for other investment categories. HB1812 classifies violations related to digital assets as felonies with fines up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to five years. Violations of other restricted activities provisions incur civil penalties of up to $50,000. The legislation establishes a 60-day implementation period following passage. The bill addresses digital asset ethics in public service as crypto becomes more prevalent in investment portfolios. Federal efforts The Pennsylvania legislation aligns with the 2025 federal efforts to address officials’ crypto activities.  Congressman Ritchie Torres proposed the “Stop Presidential Profiteering from Digital Assets…

Key Economic Shifts Could Redefine the Crypto Market

Key Economic Shifts Could Redefine the Crypto Market

The post Key Economic Shifts Could Redefine the Crypto Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Macro signals, Fed policy, and new regulation could shake crypto markets. Early adopters are positioning now ahead of major exchange exposure. Investors are watching global economic developments closely, as a combination of inflation data, central bank commentary, and fiscal policy shifts could determine where the crypto market heads next. The Federal Reserve’s tone in September is particularly important, as any signal of easing could unleash billions in sidelined liquidity currently parked in money-market funds. Recent estimates suggest more than $7 trillion remains idle, waiting for clarity before reentering risk assets. At the same time, geopolitical shifts – from energy pricing policies to trade conflicts – are injecting further volatility into markets. Such conditions typically push traders toward assets with asymmetric upside potential, where sharp rallies can occur if liquidity breaks loose. This backdrop has made investors more cautious on Bitcoin’s dominance and more attentive to alternative plays. Among those alternatives, early whispers point to a rising project that is beginning to catch the eye of forward-looking portfolios: MAGACOIN FINANCE. While macro uncertainty drives market jitters, the regulatory environment is taking a decisive turn toward clarity. The GENIUS Act in the U.S. requires full 1:1 stablecoin reserves and has given institutions more confidence to allocate capital toward the sector. Simultaneously, the SEC has launched Project Crypto, an initiative designed to provide transparent guidelines on how tokens are classified, funded, and listed. These steps have eased some of the long-standing hesitation around digital assets, encouraging institutions to build longer-term strategies. Adding to the momentum, the U.S. government’s creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve has framed crypto not only as a speculative play but as a national-level store of value. Together, these developments mark a shift toward mainstream acceptance, creating fertile conditions for both blue-chip coins and emerging projects preparing for their first…

DeFi Treasury Protocol ETH Strategy Deploys Over 50% of Its ETH for Yield

DeFi Treasury Protocol ETH Strategy Deploys Over 50% of Its ETH for Yield

The post DeFi Treasury Protocol ETH Strategy Deploys Over 50% of Its ETH for Yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. ETH Strategy has deployed a significant portion of its ETH into Etherfi’s weETH token, along with deposits into Lido, Liquid Collective, Renzo, and Aave. ETH Strategy, a DeFi protocol that mimics corporate treasury operations on-chain, is now deploying its ETH into yield-generating positions through a partnership with Etherfi, a non-custodial liquid staking protocol. According to an Aug. 18 blog announcement, allocations to partners like Etherfi are “intended to generate sustainable ETH-denominated returns as part of the ETH Strategy treasury program.” Users will get on-chain receipt tokens for each position, which act as a live, verifiable “proof of reserves,” ETH Strategy explained. ETH Strategy, which has over 11,000 ETH in its treasury, says the integration is “designed to sit alongside other DeFi venues as we roll out additional partners, diversifying sources of yield while preserving liquidity and control.” In practice, this means ETH can be allocated across multiple protocols, earning returns through lending, staking, or other yield mechanisms without locking users’ liquidity. Staking Yield In an X post on Aug. 18, ether.fi said ETH Strategy “will be deploying a significant portion of their ETH holdings into weETH,” a non-rebasing ERC-20 token representing staked Ethereum. While the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, on-chain data shows ETH Strategy has allocated 2,048 ETH to weETH so far, along with smaller deposits to Lido, Liquid Collective, Renzo, and Aave. ETH Deposits ETH Strategy isn’t a company with a traditional off-chain balance sheet. It’s a set of smart contracts running on Ethereum that manage treasury positions autonomously. In its official documentation, ETH Strategy says it has “2 audits completed,” but adds that “these will be public later,” without naming the auditors or providing a timeline. ETH Strategy did not respond to The Defiant’s request for comment. The protocol’s native token STRAT is designed to give leveraged exposure…
