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.

UK’s new tax rules are bullish for crypto

UK’s new tax rules are bullish for crypto

The post UK’s new tax rules are bullish for crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British tax officials have issued new rules that could make it easier for people to use cryptocurrency lending platforms without facing immediate tax bills, according to Aave founder Stani Kulechov. The tax authority HMRC has said that putting digital coins or stablecoins like USDC and USDT onto decentralised finance platforms won’t count as a taxable event at the moment of deposit. This means people who lend out their cryptocurrency, stake it, or borrow money against it won’t face capital gains charges just for placing their digital holdings onto these platforms. Stani Kulechov, who started the DeFi platform Aave, said the decision follows years of back-and-forth discussions with tax officials and brings much-needed answers to users. Tax bills will now only kick in when someone actually gets rid of their assets by selling them, swapping them for something else, or cashing out. Moving tokens in and out of DeFi protocols is being treated as having “no gain, no loss,” giving people clearer rules about what they’ll owe. What this means for crypto users “For users, this is significant,” Kulechov told Yahoo Finance Future Focus. “They now have more clarity over HMRC’s approach, and they can use DeFi lending protocols to borrow funds against their collateral without creating a taxable event or a disposal.” The tax authority made it clear that locking up cryptocurrency as collateral for a loan, or putting a single token into a lending or staking arrangement, wouldn’t trigger a tax charge when deposited under this “no gain, no loss” approach. The taxable moment generally gets pushed back until there’s an actual disposal, such as selling or exchanging the asset. Kulechov said this clarity might also push more professional investors to try crypto innovations. These bigger players have often stayed away from DeFi because they weren’t sure about the…

Ex-Signature Bank Executives Launch Blockchain Bank N3XT

Ex-Signature Bank Executives Launch Blockchain Bank N3XT

The post Ex-Signature Bank Executives Launch Blockchain Bank N3XT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A group of former executives from the collapsed crypto-friendly Signature Bank has launched a new blockchain-based, state-chartered bank called N3XT, with the goal of enabling instant 24-hour payments. N3XT said on Thursday that it aims to settle payments instantly at any time using a private blockchain and offers programmable payments through smart contracts. The company added that its systems have been designed for interoperability with stablecoins, utility tokens, and other digital assets. Signature Bank founder ​​Scott Shay founded N3XT, which will operate under a Wyoming Special Purpose Depository Institution (SPDI) charter and will not offer lending services. Signature Bank was one of three crypto-friendly banks, along with Silicon Valley Bank and  Silvergate Bank, that collapsed in the 2023 US banking crisis due to a bank run and ties to the then-rapidly falling crypto market. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took control of Signature Bank in March 2023, just days after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, saying it had an overreliance on uninsured deposits, weak risk controls and was facing a worsening run on deposits. N3XT avoiding lending services  Jeffrey Wallis, Signature Bank’s former director of digital asset and Web3 strategy, will be N3XT’s CEO and president and said that crypto innovations are at the heart of the new venture. Source: Jeffrey Wallis “Money should move as seamlessly as information,” he said. “We’re applying crypto innovations to banking to deliver instant, programmable payments for institutional clients.” N3XT won’t be offering lending, and the bank claims its reserves are also backed one-to-one by cash or short-term US Treasurys, with promises to share reserve holdings daily.  At launch, N3XT lists its client base as unnamed businesses across crypto, foreign exchange, shipping and logistics, and a variety of other sectors.  Crypto venture capital firms backing N3XT The bank raised three rounds of financing…

Can tokenized private credit stress crypto projects? Recent bankruptcies raise fears of insolvent lending vaults

Can tokenized private credit stress crypto projects? Recent bankruptcies raise fears of insolvent lending vaults

The post Can tokenized private credit stress crypto projects? Recent bankruptcies raise fears of insolvent lending vaults appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Private credit is the most active category for on-chain tokenized assets. Recent bankruptcies and value write-offs in private credit are causing concerns about the crypto space and the usage of tokenized loans.  Private credit is one of the fastest-growing categories in traditional finance, which has crossed over into the crypto space. Private credit is estimated to grow to $2.6T by 2029, according to Morgan Stanley estimates. Others put the industry size at $3T already toward the end of 2025.  Private credit invited extra scrutiny after US Senator Elizabeth Warren urged for more oversight of the sector. The call for investigation arrived after the recent implosions of Tricolor Holdings and First Brands Group. The expansion of private credit raised concerns of toxic, non-transparent risk. Tokenized private credit is still finding its way into the DeFi space, but it has shown how the uncertain valuation of loans can affect crypto projects. Private credit may inject more risk into crypto space Private credit lumps together loans from multiple sources. According to RWA.xyz, $2.1B in private credit has been tokenized, up from just $49,000 at the end of 2024. The rapid inflow of tokens based on private credit is raising questions about whether crypto finance can absorb the risk. Over $14B in private credit is already carried by the Figure HELOC token, although the asset is only traded on its internal market. Other tokenized private loan tokens have found their way into DeFi.  Tokenizing a basket of loans further obscures the quality of assets and can threaten crypto protocols. Morpho turned into a vector for private credit risk Morpho, one of the most widely used lending protocols, has already gained a reputation for supporting risky vaults and allowing user-generated curation. Most of the vaults on Morpho use crypto assets as collateral.  Some specialized vaults…
