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.

Best Crypto to Buy Now as Ethereum Reclaims $3,000 After the Fusaka Upgrade

Best Crypto to Buy Now as Ethereum Reclaims $3,000 After the Fusaka Upgrade

The post Best Crypto to Buy Now as Ethereum Reclaims $3,000 After the Fusaka Upgrade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum entered a new chapter as the Fusaka upgrade officially went live, marking a major step forward in the network’s long-term scaling roadmap. This major catalyst immediately raised key questions for traders about what it means for ETH’s valuation, how it will shape the broader crypto market, and whether ETH now stands ready for a strong upward move. Early signs point to growing strength, with ETH pushing back above $3,000 as momentum begins to shift. With new liquidity returning and sentiment turning bullish, many investors are now looking for the best crypto to buy and position themselves before the next major leg of the rally takes hold. Source – 99Bitcoins YouTube Channel Ethereum Activates Fusaka Upgrade as Network Prepares for Major Scaling Improvements Ethereum activated the Fusaka upgrade on mainnet on Wednesday. This marks the network’s second major upgrade of the year and brings new changes that improve data handling and block capacity. Developers say this upgrade sets the foundation for Ethereum’s next scaling phase. Blockscout, an open-source explorer for EVM chains, says Fusaka now brings the base layer in line with the level of activity already happening on Ethereum’s layer 2 networks. Fusaka introduces PeerDAS, a system that lets each node store only part of the blob data instead of the full amount. This cuts bandwidth and storage needs and gives Ethereum room to increase blob throughput by about eight times compared to before. PeerDAS in Fusaka is significant because it literally is sharding. Ethereum is coming to consensus on blocks without requiring any single node to see more than a tiny fraction of the data. And this is robust to 51% attacks – it’s client-side probabilistic verification, not… pic.twitter.com/OK81xBteER — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) December 3, 2025 Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin highlighted the importance of this step. He said PeerDAS matters…

Ether leaves exchanges faster than BTC as supply tightens

Ether leaves exchanges faster than BTC as supply tightens

The post Ether leaves exchanges faster than BTC as supply tightens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum has been exiting exchanges at a faster rate than Bitcoin, with only 8.84% currently held on exchanges, as the supply of ETH becomes increasingly tight. Data retrieved from Glassnode and CryptoQuant indicate that the amount of ETH still held in exchanges is nearly half that of BTC (14.8%). Leon Waidmann, the head of research at the Onchain Foundation, stated that staking is one of the primary reasons why the ETH supply on exchanges is dwindling, as most of it is locked up in staking contracts. He also observed that DeFi is pulling ETH off exchanges, but long-term holders are not selling their ETH.   However, Lucca Rassele, the head of digital asset ventures at MPM Labs, believes that the ETH/BTC exchange balance comparison ignores the fact that they have different functions. On the other hand, Derek Little, the founder and CEO of Innovative App World LLC, agrees that the reason more ETH is leaving exchanges than BTC is its utility. Little claims that crypto hype cycles have died down, and it is now mainly about interoperability.  Ether holders move, sell, and spend more than BTC investors November’s data retrieved from Glassnode reveals that ETH holders are moving, selling, and spending more than BTC investors. The on-chain crypto data aggregator emphasized that the reason behind ETH’s mass exchange exit is that its network powers crypto applications, which utilize ETH as gas fee. Meanwhile, Glassnode says BTC holders tend to keep their coins in storage and treat them as digital gold. The blockchain data firm noted that BTC moves less frequently the ETH, behaving more like a digital savings asset. Over 61% of BTC’s circulating supply has been held dormant for more than one year.  By contrast, ETH rotates supply at nearly twice the rate of BTC because it functions as digital…

Why Chinese Investors Don’t Welcome Dollar Stablecoins Any More

Why Chinese Investors Don’t Welcome Dollar Stablecoins Any More

The post Why Chinese Investors Don’t Welcome Dollar Stablecoins Any More appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. For years, Chinese crypto investors have relied on USDT and other dollar-pegged stablecoins as a safe harbor from market volatility. But a dramatic shift in currency dynamics is forcing them to reconsider: what happens when the “stable” coin loses value against your home currency? Over the past six months, the offshore renminbi has surged from 7.4 to 7.06 against the dollar, marking its strongest level in a year. While this appreciation benefits China’s broader economy, it creates an uncomfortable reality for stablecoin holders—their dollar-denominated assets are quietly bleeding value when measured in yuan terms. Sponsored Sponsored The Perfect Storm Against Dollar Holdings The mathematics is straightforward but painful. A Chinese investor who converted 100,000 yuan to USDT in April at 7.4 would now receive only about 95,400 yuan when converting back at 7.06—a 4.6% loss without touching a single volatile crypto asset. This isn’t a temporary blip. The dollar index has fallen nearly 10% this year as weak US employment data and aggressive Fed rate cuts have triggered massive unwinding of carry trades. Meanwhile, China’s stock market rally—with the Shanghai Composite breaking 4,000—has attracted foreign capital, further strengthening the yuan. Additionally, China’s trade settled in RMB more than doubled between January and July. Corporations increased hedging with financial contracts, boosting practical RMB demand beyond speculation. Goldman Sachs research suggests that every 1% yuan appreciation is correlated with a 3% gain in Chinese equities, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that could push the currency even higher. Sponsored Sponsored USDT: From Safe Haven to Risk Asset The change means dollar stablecoins are no longer a reliable hedge for Chinese crypto users. The combination of a weaker USD and a stronger RMB reduces USDT’s local purchasing power. Tighter regulations deepen this challenge. In May, China’s central bank and 13 ministries officially named stablecoins as…

RWA Weekly: Stablecoin company First Digital plans to go public via SPAC merger; WLFI plans to launch RWA products next year.

RWA Weekly: Stablecoin company First Digital plans to go public via SPAC merger; WLFI plans to launch RWA products next year.

Highlights of this episode This week's weekly report covers the period from November 28th to December 5th, 2025. RWA market data changed this week due to adjustments in statistical methods; the total on-chain market capitalization declined, but the number of holders continued to grow, indicating a continued strengthening of the user base. The total market capitalization of stablecoins surpassed $300 billion, but transaction volume and monthly active addresses declined month-over-month, suggesting the market may be transitioning from its previous period of rapid growth to a "new normal" focused on user penetration and ecosystem consolidation. On the regulatory front, the UK's FCA opened a regulatory sandbox for stablecoin companies, the US FDIC is drafting an implementation plan for the GENIUS Act, and the Central Bank of Israel has also signaled strengthened regulation. Major global economies are accelerating the inclusion of stablecoins in prudent regulatory frameworks. At the project level, tokenized assets continue their global expansion trend: Amundi, Europe's largest asset management company, launched its first tokenized money market fund; Japan Post Bank is promoting the application of DCJPY in real estate rental payments; and Visa and Aquanow are collaborating to expand stablecoin settlement services to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, demonstrating that the RWA ecosystem is systematically penetrating the global market through product innovation and use case expansion. Data Perspective RWA Track Panorama Possibly due to a change in statistical methods, RWA.xyz's latest data reveals that as of December 5, 2025, the total market capitalization of RWA on-chain was $18.17 billion, a slight decrease of 3.05% compared to the same period last month; the total number of asset holders increased to approximately 556,800, an increase of 5.42% compared to the same period last month. Stablecoin Market The total market capitalization of stablecoins reached $301.74 billion, a slight increase of 1.62% month-over-month. While the growth rate has rebounded slightly, it remains low, indicating weak overall expansion. Monthly transaction volume fell to $4.37 trillion, a significant contraction of 12.59% month-over-month. The total number of monthly active addresses increased to 40.21 million, a decrease of 12.04% month-over-month. The total number of holders steadily increased to approximately 206 million, a slight increase of 2.73% month-over-month. This structural divergence reflects a market adjustment phase characterized by sustained activity but declining capital turnover efficiency. While new users and existing user activity are increasing, demand for large-scale settlements or high-frequency transactions has weakened. The data suggests that the market may be transitioning from a high-growth phase driven by efficiency to a new normal focused on user penetration and ecosystem consolidation. The leading stablecoins are USDT, USDC, and USDS. Among them, the market capitalization of USDT increased slightly by 1.05% month-on-month; the market capitalization of USDC increased by 3.81% month-on-month; and the market capitalization of USDS increased slightly by 2.02% month-on-month. Regulatory news The US SEC held a meeting to discuss tokenization regulation, with significant differences between the traditional financial and crypto industries on the issue of "decentralization." According to The Block, the U.S. SEC's Investor Advisory Committee held a meeting on Thursday to discuss asset tokenization, with executives from Citadel, Coinbase, and Galaxy participating to discuss regulatory pathways. Citadel recommended that the SEC strictly define the role of intermediaries such as decentralized trading protocols, which drew opposition from some crypto enthusiasts who argued that traditional rules are inapplicable to DeFi architectures. Coinbase stated that rule differences should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to avoid imposing inapplicable obligations. SEC Chairman Atkins stated that a compliance pathway should be provided to promote innovative development in tokenization. The UK Financial Conduct Authority opens sandbox environment for stablecoin companies. According to Ledger Insights, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced the launch of a stablecoin project group as part of its regulatory sandbox program, with an application deadline of January 18, 2026. Bloomberg also reports that the UK Debt Management Office is exploring expanding the UK government bond market, a move that will be related to stablecoin reserves. In a speech yesterday, David Geale of the FCA stated that a “large company” has been included in the sandbox program to test a sterling stablecoin for payments. Sandbox participants must ensure their designs comply with the requirements outlined in the FCA's May consultation document. The UK adopts a two-track system for regulating stablecoins: the Bank of England regulates systemically important stablecoins for prudential and financial stability purposes; the responsibility for regulating other stablecoins falls to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is also responsible for the conduct and consumer protection oversight of all stablecoins. As the Digital Shekel initiative progresses, the Central Bank of Israel is signaling increased regulation of stablecoins. According to CoinDesk, Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron signaled that the country is preparing for more proactive regulation of stablecoins. Speaking at the Bank of Israel's "Payments in a Changing Era" conference in Tel Aviv, Yaron positioned the private digital dollar as a payment power, arguing that regulators can no longer treat it as a fringe issue. Yaron emphasized that stablecoins are deeply integrated into global money flows, with a market capitalization exceeding $300 billion and monthly trading volume exceeding $2 trillion. He stressed the industry's concentration risk, pointing out that 99% of stablecoin activity is controlled by only two issuers: Tether and Circle. He believes this concentration exacerbates systemic vulnerabilities and increases the need for regulatory clarity. Yaron then outlined a series of priorities that private issuers and regulators must consider, including full 1:1 reserve backing, liquid reserve assets, and the creation of a scalable regulatory framework. Yoav Soffer, head of the Israeli Digital Shekel project, also discussed the Digital Shekel plan at the conference, stating that the Digital Shekel will become "a central bank currency applicable to everything," and unveiled a roadmap for 2026, which includes plans to provide official advice by the end of the year. The FDIC plans to release its first draft regulation on stablecoin issuance under the GENIUS Act this month. According to CoinDesk, Acting Chairman Travis Hill of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will state at a congressional hearing that the FDIC will release its first draft implementation of the GENIUS Act this month, outlining the federal regulatory application process for stablecoin issuance, and plans to introduce subsequent regulatory provisions, including capital and liquidity requirements, early next year. Hill also stated that the FDIC is developing regulatory guidelines for tokenized deposits. Georgia is seeking to partner with Hedera to advance on-chain ownership and tokenization. According to Cointelegraph, the Georgian Ministry of Justice has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the public blockchain network Hedera and is currently considering putting the country's land registration system on the blockchain and tokenizing real estate. During a meeting between Georgian Justice Minister Paata Salia and representatives of Hedera, the two sides discussed the potential for integrating blockchain technology into public infrastructure. Georgian officials stated they are considering migrating data from the National Public Registry to a blockchain network, hoping this will "further ensure property rights protection and improve the transparency and reliability of the process." Furthermore, both sides are considering tokenizing real estate, a move quite similar to Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization projects. Currently, the agreement is only a non-binding memorandum of understanding. According to the announcement, the next step will be the establishment of a joint working group, including experts from the Ministry of Justice and the National Public Registry. The IMF warns that stablecoins may undermine monetary sovereignty and recommends setting limits to mitigate the risk of substitution. A recent report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), titled "Understanding Stablecoins," indicates that dollar-dominated stablecoins are rapidly penetrating emerging markets and developing economies, potentially weakening central banks' control over domestic liquidity and interest rates. The report points out that stablecoins can quickly enter the market via mobile phones and the internet, and especially in the presence of unhosted wallets, they are more likely to cause a "currency substitution" phenomenon, weakening the use of domestic currencies and affecting the transmission of central bank monetary policy and seigniorage revenue. The IMF recommends that countries establish legal frameworks to prevent stablecoins from acquiring "legal tender" or "official currency" status, thereby safeguarding financial sovereignty. Currently, 97% of the total market capitalization of stablecoins is pegged to the US dollar, with only a small percentage linked to the euro or Japanese yen. The report also emphasizes the significant increase in the use of stablecoins in cross-border payments and in countries with high inflation, particularly in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Local News Canaan Technology and SynVista Energy have partnered to launch a green Bitcoin mining solution, which will support the development of RWA assets. Canaan Creative (NASDAQ: CAN) has partnered with SynVista Energy to launch a Bitcoin mining solution based on green energy and energy storage. This solution utilizes an intelligent power dispatch system to dynamically coordinate power and computing power, improving the efficiency of clean energy utilization and reducing waste.

The collaboration will begin with a demonstration project to promote the large-scale implementation of green mining. Hong Kong Gold Exchange's Singapore subsidiary issues XGZ, a token backed by physical gold. According to the Hong Kong Economic Journal, the Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX) has issued a digital gold token, Gold Zip (XGZ), through its subsidiary in Singapore. Each token is backed by physical gold stored in an authorized vault, primarily in Hong Kong. Huaxia Bank spearheaded the issuance of the industry's first "blockchain + digital RMB" bond. According to Jinshi News, Huaxia Bank recently led the book-building process, successfully issuing 4.5 billion yuan of financial bonds using an industry-first innovative model of "blockchain book-building + digital RMB collection." The entire issuance process was recorded on the blockchain in real time, ensuring immutability and allowing investors to check the information at any time. The raised funds were directly collected through digital RMB, eliminating multiple intermediate clearing steps. The issuer of this bond was Huaxia Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Huaxia Bank. The initial planned issuance was 3 billion yuan, with a 1.5 billion yuan over-allotment option. The over-allotment was fully triggered, resulting in a full issuance of 4.5 billion yuan, with a 3-year coupon rate of 1.84%. Project progress WLFI co-founder: A series of RWA products will be launched in January 2026. According to Reuters, World Liberty Financial, a crypto company backed by the Trump family, announced at an event in Dubai on Wednesday that it will launch a series of Real-World Asset (RWA) products in January, at the start of the first quarter of 2026. World Liberty Financial's stablecoin USD1 was used this year by MGX, an Abu Dhabi-backed company, to pay for its investment in Binance. Amundi, Europe’s largest asset manager, has launched its first tokenized share class for its euro money market fund. According to Cointelegraph, Amundi, Europe's largest asset manager, has launched its first tokenized share class for its euro money market fund. The fund now employs a hybrid structure, allowing investors to choose between a traditional version and a new blockchain-based version. The first transaction was recorded on the Ethereum network on November 4th. This launch was developed in partnership with European asset servicing group CACEIS, which provided the tokenization infrastructure, investor wallets, and a digital order system for processing subscriptions and redemptions. According to the two companies, fund tokenization simplifies order processing, expands access to new investors, and enables 24/7 trading. Japan Post Bank promotes the application of DCJPY in real estate rental payments. According to CoinPost, Japan Post Bank recently signed a cooperation agreement with real estate companies Shinoken Group and DeCurret DCP to test the automated settlement function of DCJPY using Shinoken's monthly rent payments as a scenario. DCJPY is a tokenized deposit linked to bank deposits, with the goal of official issuance in fiscal year 2026. This experiment is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025, and a points incentive mechanism will be introduced for group service consumption in the future. Visa partners with Aquanow to expand stablecoin settlement services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. According to The Block, payments giant Visa has partnered with crypto infrastructure provider Aquanow to expand its stablecoin settlement services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (CEMEA). This integration will enable Visa's card issuers and acquirers across the region to settle transactions using approved stablecoins such as USDC. The service supports settlement 365 days a year, eliminating the weekend and holiday delays common in traditional banking systems. Wyoming Stablecoin Council Releases FRNT Testnet Tap According to Crowdfundinsider, the Wyoming Stablecoin Council has launched a testnet "tap" for its stablecoin Frontier Stable Token (FRNT). Anyone with a digital wallet can now connect to their website and choose one of eight testnets. Afterward, up to 1,000 "tFRNT" tokens can be claimed every 24 hours from its public address. tFRNT is not backed by any reserves; it is simply a token on a testnet (i.e., development) blockchain designed to "simulate smart contracts deployed on its seven supported mainnet blockchains." Bloomberg: Stablecoin company First Digital plans to go public via SPAC merger. According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Hong Kong-based First Digital Group is planning a public listing through a merger with a blank check company. The company is expected to announce the signing of a non-binding letter of intent outlining its plans to merge with CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III (CSLM), a New York-listed special purpose acquisition company. First Digital Group is reportedly the issuer of the stablecoin FDUSD, which has a circulating supply of approximately $920 million, down from its peak of about $4.4 billion in April 2024. As trustee, First Digital Group also manages reserves for TrueUSD, a stablecoin operated by Techteryx, whose advisor is Justin Sun. RWA platform OpenEden completes strategic financing round, with Ripple, FalconX, and others participating in the investment. OpenEden, a tokenization platform for RWA (Real-World Assets), announced the completion of a strategic financing round, with investors including prominent institutions such as Ripple, Lightspeed Faction, and Gate Ventures. This round of funding will be used to expand its RWA tokenization service platform and to advance the scaling of its regulated yield-generating stablecoin USDO and its tokenized US Treasury bond fund TBILL. OpenEden founder and CEO Jeremy Ng stated that this funding will help the company provide compliant products that meet both traditional and decentralized finance standards.

Sony's blockchain partner Startale launched the USD stablecoin USDSC on the Soneium network. According to CoinDesk, Startale Group, a blockchain company that has partnered with tech giant Sony on its Web3 platform Soneium, has launched a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar: Startale USD (USDSC). This token aims to become the default digital dollar for payments, rewards, and other functions within the Soneium ecosystem. Soneium is an Ethereum Layer 2 network launched last year by Sony Block Solutions Labs, a joint venture between Sony Group and Startale. USDSC is built on the infrastructure of M0, a startup developing a modular platform for programmable stablecoins. In addition, Startale has launched the STAR points reward system, which incentivizes users to mint or hold USDSC, complete in-app tasks, or interact with decentralized applications through the Startale app (the mobile hub of the Soneium ecosystem). Stablecoin app Fin raises $17 million, led by Pantera Capital. According to Fortune magazine, Fin, a stablecoin app founded by former Citadel employees, announced the completion of a $17 million funding round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Sequoia and Samsung Next. This application aims to provide cross-border and large-value payment services using stablecoin technology, enabling fast global transfers without complex operations. It supports transfers to other Fin users, bank accounts, or cryptocurrency wallets, and claims fees will be significantly lower than traditional banking channels. Fin primarily targets large-value cross-border or domestic transfers, such as addressing payment efficiency issues in import/export trade. The application is not yet officially launched but plans to begin a pilot program next month among import/export companies. The company's profits will come from transfer fees and stablecoin reserve interest. Insights Highlights Tokenization of Equity in Unlisted Companies: A Trillion-Dollar "Siege," and Attention Stealing Away by Perpetual Contracts PANews Overview: Tokenization of equity in non-listed companies aims to break the "high value but low liquidity" dilemma of the trillion-dollar private equity market. It leverages blockchain technology to provide ordinary investors with opportunities to participate in high-end assets such as unicorns and to open up flexible exit channels for insiders beyond IPOs. However, this sector is facing a "lower-dimensional attack" from on-chain derivatives such as perpetual contracts. These derivatives (like the OpenAI contract launched by Hyperliquid) offer simpler, higher-leverage, more liquid options within a regulatory gray area, precisely meeting users' needs to bet on company valuation fluctuations rather than acquire shareholder rights, thus diverting market attention and trading volume. This warns that equity tokenization projects must move beyond simple price exposure and instead seek differentiated positioning around core values such as "real shareholder rights, long-term capital allocation, and cash flow distribution." In the future, they are more likely to move towards a hybrid development path that ensures both compliance and shareholder rights while integrating on-chain liquidity. Institutional-grade RWA: Chainlink data trustworthiness + Aave contract security PANews Overview: For Real-World Assets (RWAs) to achieve secure and reliable applications on the blockchain, two major technical hurdles must be overcome: first, a trusted data input layer to ensure the accuracy of information such as asset net value and price reflected on the chain; and second, a secure contract execution layer to guarantee the flawless execution of financial operations such as lending and clearing. The article uses the Chainlink oracle network as a model for the data layer, providing RWAs with manipulator-resistant key data such as asset net value and proof of reserves through a decentralized consensus mechanism involving multiple nodes and data sources. Meanwhile, it uses the Aave lending protocol as a representative of the execution layer, whose rigorously audited smart contracts, sophisticated risk parameter management, and isolation mechanisms provide bank-level security for handling RWA assets. The collaborative case studies of these two technologies on platforms such as Aave Horizon demonstrate that only by building a solid technical foundation of "reliable data + secure contracts" can trillions of dollars of traditional assets be safely and efficiently integrated into the DeFi (decentralized finance) ecosystem, propelling RWAs from proof of concept to large-scale application.
