Lending

Lending protocols form the backbone of the decentralized money market, allowing users to lend or borrow digital assets without intermediaries. Using smart contracts, platforms like Aave and Morpho automate interest rates based on supply and demand while requiring over-collateralization for security. The 2026 lending landscape features advanced permissionless vaults and institutional-grade credit lines. This tag covers the evolution of capital efficiency, liquidations, and the integration of diverse collateral types, including LSTs and tokenized RWAs.

Why Non-Dilutive Yield Is Critical for Bitcoin Treasury Companies

Why Non-Dilutive Yield Is Critical for Bitcoin Treasury Companies

The post Why Non-Dilutive Yield Is Critical for Bitcoin Treasury Companies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin digital asset treasuries (BTC DATs) have made their decision. They will be judged primarily by one metric: “Bitcoin per share.” This public market version of “whoever has the most Bitcoin wins” marks a new era of Bitcoin adoption and activation. As for what’s next, there remains a clear fork in the road. How will BTC DATs actually grow Bitcoin per share?  Whether through dilutive financial engineering or non-dilutive yield and operations, the path forward may determine whether DATs become a zero-sum, winner-takes-all contest or a positive-sum expansion of Bitcoin utility. The Brilliance of BTC DATs When Bitcoin is put into a DAT, the holder has more tools at their disposal than if it were in a cold wallet.  Specifically, public markets open the door to two major toolsets for BTC DATS: Income generation: Operations that generate income to earn or purchase more BTC. Financial engineering: Debt, leverage, and other tools to restructure balance sheets.  While most public companies are known primarily for their income generation, BTC DATs have so far focused primarily on financial engineering.  Strategy (MSTR) is the first and clearest example of a BTC DAT using financial tools to grow Bitcoin per share. Saylor has created a slew of synthetic Bitcoin financial products for Wall Street. STRK, STRF, STRD, and STRC are all products Strategy has carved from its Bitcoin balance sheet.  Wall Street loves these products as they allow them to speculate on Bitcoin in previously unavailable ways. In return, they’ve rewarded MicroStrategy with cheap financing, which MicroStrategy has used to buy more BTC.  Saylor’s successful Strategy has awoken several Bitcoin entrepreneurs who realized that putting their BTC in a DAT can be like putting Tony Stark in the Iron Man suit.  At the same time, it’s important to note that wrapping Bitcoin in a stock…

Aave V4 Looks to Turn Fragmented Liquidity into DeFi’s OS, Developers Say

Aave V4 Looks to Turn Fragmented Liquidity into DeFi’s OS, Developers Say

The post Aave V4 Looks to Turn Fragmented Liquidity into DeFi’s OS, Developers Say appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The latest version of the top lending protocol creates a shared liquidity pool that customized markets can connect to. Aave, the largest lending protocol in the DeFi space, is preparing to change how money flows in DeFi with its upcoming V4. The latest version of Aave creates a system where all deposited funds can be shared across different lending markets, a liquidity structure its developers describe as “DeFi’s operating system.” In the latest research note from Aave’s developers, they explained that the V4 upgrade, which is reportedly scheduled for Q4, introduces a modular “hub-and-spoke” architecture, where “Hubs” centralize liquidity, while “Spokes” are specialized lending markets that connect to these Hubs. Each Spoke can implement its own lending rules and risk parameters, allowing for customized borrowing and lending experiences, the developers wrote. “This approach empowers the broader DeFi community to build on Aave rather than competing with it. Service providers and integrators can create specialized experiences while accessing deep liquidity, expanding innovation within the Aave ecosystem rather than fragmenting it across separate markets,” the article reads. Aave’s TVL across chains. Source: DefiLlama Aave, which has over $45 billion in total value locked (TVL) across 19 chains, per DefiLlama data, positions V4 as a new infrastructure layer for DeFi, planning to remove the bootstrapping problem that “forces every new market to compete with existing successful markets for the same deposits.” Unified Liquidity Infrastructure The approach addresses a basic issue from older versions of the protocol, where liquidity was split into many small, separate pools. But under V4, different markets will be able to use the same larger shared pool, instead of each starting from zero. For example, a market for PENDLE could borrow USDC from the shared pool, while a market for Uniswap’s UNI could borrow ETH, and a stablecoin market like…

DEFG adds AERO, MKR removed

DEFG adds AERO, MKR removed

The post DEFG adds AERO, MKR removed  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale Investments published component weightings for multiple funds, showing portfolio changes across DeFi and AI-focused products. The revisions include asset additions and a notable token removal. What changed in DEFG fund components? The DEFG fund’s composition and weights were reported as follows: Uniswap (UNI) 32.32% Aave (AAVE) 28.07% Ondo (ONDO) 19.07% Lido (LDO) 7.02% Curve (CRV) 6.92% Aerodrome Finance (AERO) 6.60% Notably, MKR was removed from the fund, while Aerodrome Finance (AERO) was added. The change reshapes the fund’s DeFi exposure, concentrating weight toward established decentralized exchange and lending protocols while preserving staking and liquidity-focused allocations. Industry experience shows that large, concentrated rebalances can widen spreads temporarily and create modest tracking error for index-tracking investors. Why the DEFG allocation matters The DEFG adjustments reflect active portfolio management within the DeFi sector. By increasing relative exposure to UNI (32.32%) and AAVE (28.07%), the fund tilts toward governance and lending primitives. At the same time, keeping LDO and CRV maintains exposure to staking and liquidity services — core components of the broader ecosystem.  How did the GSC fund weightings shift? The GSC fund’s end-of-day weights were disclosed as: Ether (ETH) 30.32% Solana (SOL) 30.97% Cardano (ADA) 18.29% Avalanche (AVAX) 7.57% Sui (SUI) 7.35% Hedera (HBAR) 5.50% The near parity between ETH (30.32%) and SOL (30.97%) highlights the fund’s balanced emphasis on two leading smart-contract platforms. Consequently, shifts in these weights can influence derivative flows and staking allocations, and they serve as a barometer for demand across layer-1 ecosystems. Implications for the market and blockchain adoption The GSC configuration underlines continued investor interest in protocol-level tokens that underpin smart-contract ecosystems. As a result, reweightings here may compress or expand exposure to sectors such as decentralized exchanges, NFTs and application-level innovation across chains. Which assets compose the AI fund component list? The AI Fund’s…

ECB Minutes expected to reinforce the ‘Good Place’ policy stance – BBH

ECB Minutes expected to reinforce the ‘Good Place’ policy stance – BBH

The post ECB Minutes expected to reinforce the ‘Good Place’ policy stance – BBH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The ECB’s September meeting account is due today, likely reaffirming policymakers’ view that monetary settings remain “in a good place” after holding rates steady at 2.00%. With inflation seen stabilizing near target and risks now balanced, markets price only limited chances of another cut. By contrast, expectations for deeper Fed easing over the next year highlight a growing policy divergence that continues to favor EUR/USD upside. Meanwhile, signs of political stabilization in France are lending modest support to local assets, BBH FX analysts report. Markets split on further ECB cuts as inflation nears target “The ECB’s Account of the September 10-11 policy meeting is published today (12:30pm London, 7:30am New York). At that meeting, the ECB left the policy rate steady at 2.00% for a third consecutive meeting (widely expected) and signaled that monetary policy settings remain in a “good place.” The ECB stressed that risks to the economic outlook are now balanced rather than to the downside and implied greater confidence that inflation is stabilizing around its 2% target.” “The swaps market continues to price-in about 50% odds that the ECB delivers one more 25bps cut in the next 12 months and the policy rate to bottom at 1.75%. We think the ECB is done easing. Meanwhile, futures fully price-in 100bps of Fed funds rate cut over the next 12 months. The risk is the Fed eases more because the US employment backdrop is increasingly fragile. Bottom line: relative ECB/Fed policy stance underpins the uptrend in EUR/USD.” “France’s political crisis is on a fragile stability path. French President Emmanuel Macron said he’ll name a new prime minister by Friday evening. A statement by the Elysee presidential office noted that “A majority of deputies oppose dissolution (of parliament); a platform for stability exists; a path is possible to adopt a…
