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.

How Bitcoin bulls make money during downturns — and why BTC could hit $85k soon

When Bitcoin falls, most people see a shrinking number on a screen. The committed bull sees an opportunity to stack more sats for the next run quietly. Bear markets feel brutal in real time. Timelines fill with capitulation, “Bitcoin is dead” posts resurface, and the same people who were breathless at the top sound bored […] The post How Bitcoin bulls make money during downturns — and why BTC could hit $85k soon appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Why XRP Staking Is Outperforming Bitcoin Trading — Insights Before Tundra’s Launch

Why XRP Staking Is Outperforming Bitcoin Trading — Insights Before Tundra’s Launch

The post Why XRP Staking Is Outperforming Bitcoin Trading — Insights Before Tundra’s Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s dramatic reversal over the past month has reshaped the behavior of both retail traders and institutional desks. On October 6, BTC reached a record high of $126,272, but the market quickly shifted. A series of sell-offs pushed the asset below $90,000 by mid-November, erasing every gain made in 2025. The decline exceeded 20%, formally placing BTC in bear-market territory.  CryptoQuant data showed whales selling into strength at a net profit, and retail traders refused to step in. The sentiment also collapsed into “extreme fear” after Bitcoin failed to reclaim the psychologically significant $100,000 threshold. As trading volatility increases, investors are paying closer attention to staking systems. Here, returns depend on measurable protocol revenue rather than market swings. This shift coincides with an acceleration within the XRP ecosystem itself. It’s driven by ETF activity, ODL expansion, and growing expectations that 2026 will be a pivotal year for XRPL infrastructure.  Against this backdrop, XRP Tundra has emerged as one of the most examined staking launches heading into January. That’s because of its dual-chain architecture, non-inflationary reward model, and its role in the first integrated DeFi ecosystem built specifically for XRP holders. Bitcoin Volatility Has Revived Interest in Predictable Yield Models The contrast between Bitcoin trading and staking-based income has never been sharper. BTC’s fall from its October peak happened quickly and decisively, with the week ending Nov. 14 alone seeing a decline of more than 9%. Large holders trimmed exposure while retail traders avoided dip-buying, resulting in one of the weakest sentiment readings of the year. Short-term traders who entered during the run-up now face a market where direction is unclear and volatility dominates. During similar cycles in previous years, analysts observed a rotation toward yield-generating protocols that do not rely on price appreciation. That same pattern is unfolding again. Staking…

Raising FDIC Insurance To $10 Million Is A Dangerous Mistake

Raising FDIC Insurance To $10 Million Is A Dangerous Mistake

The post Raising FDIC Insurance To $10 Million Is A Dangerous Mistake appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The bipartisan proposal to increase Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage from $250,000 to $10 million for non-interest-bearing business accounts has been marketed as the “Main Street Depositor Protection Act.” Despite its populist branding, this legislation represents a misguided policy that would expose taxpayers to enormous risk, eliminate crucial market discipline and primarily benefit wealthy corporations rather than ordinary Americans. The fundamental problem with this proposal is the massive moral hazard it creates. If deposit insurance increases to $10 million, banks can take increasingly risky investment strategies, knowing the government will bail out their depositors if things go wrong. Large depositors, no longer concerned about their bank’s financial health, will stop monitoring institutional stability. This removes a critical check on reckless behavior. If sophisticated business clients with millions at stake no longer scrutinize their bank’s balance sheet, who will? The result is predictable: Banks profit when risky bets succeed, but taxpayers foot the bill when they fail. The financial costs could be substantial. The banking industry would face significantly higher FDIC premiums to maintain adequate reserves for the expanded coverage—a 40-fold increase in the insurance cap for certain accounts. These costs would not be absorbed by banks. They would be passed directly to consumers, through higher fees and initially reduced lending and less favorable loan terms. Proponents claim this would help Main Street, but the numbers tell a different story. Currently, over 99% of U.S. bank accounts are already covered by the existing $250,000 limit. Small businesses typically hold around $12,000 in their accounts—nowhere near the current cap. The real beneficiaries are large corporations with multimillion-dollar payroll accounts, not mom-and-pop operations. This is essentially a wealth transfer from ordinary depositors to the wealthiest 1%. Furthermore, the existing system already provides adequate protection. During the 2023 banking crisis, when Silicon Valley Bank…

Maple Finance under fire as partner blocks $4.6bn lender’s Bitcoin product

Maple Finance under fire as partner blocks $4.6bn lender’s Bitcoin product

Maple Finance is under fire. A Cayman Island court has sided against the company behind the $4.6 billion DeFi lender, granting an injunction that blocks it from launching a new Bitcoin yield product. The reason for the adverse legal action? The Core Foundation, which partnered with Maple, alleges the lender is misusing its confidential information and product to develop a rival offering behind its back. Resource-intensive investmentsThe two organisations partnered to develop a Bitcoin yield product, lstBTC, in early 2025. Now the Core Foundation alleges that Maple has taken that joint work to build a competing product of its own, despite the pair signing a 24-month exclusivity agreement.“Core Foundation made significant financial and resource-intensive investments in the technical development, marketing, promotion, and subsidies of the product,” the foundation said on Wednesday. In response, Maple Finance denied any wrongdoing and said it will pursue all available remedies to ensure Core Foundation is held responsible for its actions.Maple Finance is an asset management and institutional lending platform, primarily on the Ethereum and Solana blockchains. It has staged a roaring comeback over the past year after almost succumbing to the fallout from the collapse of crypto exchange FTX in 2022. Core is a blockchain that enables users to use Bitcoin in DeFi. The Core Foundation is a nonprofit organisation that stewards the network. Lucrative businessBitcoin DeFi products that let holders of the top crypto earn yield are a lucrative business.Babylon, the largest such protocol, holds over $5.2 billion in Bitcoin, while competitors Lombard and Threshold Network hold hundreds of millions of dollars, per DefiLlama data.In April, Maple Finance CEO Sidney Powell told DL News that the joint Bitcoin yield product with Core was among the protocol’s fastest-growing products, attributing this to the influx of new institutional investors buying Bitcoin and seeking a way to earn yield on it.That success isn’t lost on the Core Foundation. “At the time we launched the partnership, Maple Finance entities managed under $500 million in assets,” the foundation said on X. “The initial revenue and success of the Bitcoin Yield offering from April 2025 onward helped to kick-start explosive growth for Maple.”At the same time, DeFi deposits to the Core blockchain have plummeted from around $1 billion in January to just $66 million today — a 94% decrease.Lender impairment To add to Maple’s woes, the Core Foundation also alleges that the lender is unable to return the Bitcoin backing the pair’s fledgling product to investors.“It is unclear why Maple maintains that they are unable to return the Bitcoin to their lenders at this time, or if they have the right to impair them,” the foundation said. ”This is another example of concerning behaviour and business practices by Maple.”In response, Maple said the situation does not impact its broader business operations. “The dispute is strictly limited to the pilot programme conducted in partnership with Core Foundation for BTC Yield,” the firm said.With neither side backing down, the situation looks set to snowball into a drawn-out legal battle between the two organisations.“Core Foundation will take this legal action as far as necessary to protect the community,” the foundation said.Tim Craig is DL News’ Edinburgh-based DeFi Correspondent.
