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.

Plasma Struggles to Reclaim Post-TGE Momentum

Plasma Struggles to Reclaim Post-TGE Momentum

The post Plasma Struggles to Reclaim Post-TGE Momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After a highly successful launch, the XPL token has fallen almost 50% from its opening week high. Stablecoin-focused Layer 1 blockchain Plasma debuted its XPL token two weeks ago, and following an impressive post-TGE surge to a $17 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV), the token has since been bleeding. XPL launched on Sept. 25 and doubled from its opening price of roughly $0.8 to a high of $1.67 in the following days, rewarding ICO participants with a 3300% return on their investments. However, since that peak, the token has struggled and currently trades at $0.87, or an $8.7 billion valuation, a 47% drop from its all-time high. The token has greatly underperformed the broader market, with BTC rising almost 12% between Sept. 27 and Oct. 4 while XPL plunged 49%. XPL Chart – CoinGecko It is unclear whether there is a specific catalyst for the token’s muted performance after such an explosive start, and Plasma’s representatives referred The Defiant back to founder Paul Faecks’ X post, where he denied allegations that the Plasma team sold tokens or that controversial market-making firm Wintermute was involved. While Faecks has ruled out any potential foul play, some contributing factors to the selloff could include liquidity incentive emissions, which payout more than $1 million per day in XPL, or ICO whales selling large quantities of tokens, as the sale structure controversially allowed individuals to purchase up to 10% of the initial $500 million cap. As a result, the first Plasma ICO vault filled instantly, and the team increased the deposit cap from $500 million to $1 billion while still allowing individual investors to purchase massive quantities of the token, which were completely unlocked on Sept. 25. Key Metrics Remain Strong Despite the token’s struggles over the last week, the network itself continues to grow,…

The flash U-Mich Consumer Sentiment grabs all the attention

The flash U-Mich Consumer Sentiment grabs all the attention

The post The flash U-Mich Consumer Sentiment grabs all the attention appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) maintained its constructive tone on Thursday, advancing to two-month highs amid the lack of progress around the US government shutdown and always underpinned by the generalised risk-off sentiment in the FX universe. Here’s what to watch on Friday, October 10: The US Dollar Index (DXY) clinched its fourth day in a row of gains, markedly surpassing the 99.00 barrier to hit new multi-week highs against the backdrop of some widespread recovery in US Treasury yields. The preliminary U-Mich Consumer Sentiment gauge will take centre stage alongside speeches by the Fed’s Goolsbee and Musalem. EUR/USD lost further ground and tumbled to multi-week lows near 1.1550, down for the fourth straight day. Germany’s final Inflation Rate and the Economic Sentiment gauge in Germany and the Euroland are next on tap on the domestic calendar on October 14. GBP/USD extended its deep retracement, revisiting the area of two-month troughs below the 1.3300 support. The always relevant UK labour market report will be the next significant data release across the Channel on October 14. USD/JPY hit new eight-month highs past the 153.00 hurdle, up for the sixth consecutive day. Japanese Producer Prices and Bank Lending figures are due. AUD/USD followed the rest of its risk-associated peers and faded Wednesday’s uptick, retreating well south of the 0.6600 mark. The RBA’s Bullock and Kent will speak in an otherwise empty docket in Oz. WTI prices reversed four daily gains in a row, coming under fresh selling pressure and approaching the $61.00 mark per barrel as traders assessed the alleviated geopolitical concerns and the latest larger-than-expected build in US crude oil inventories.

Almost 80% of Bitcoin Holders Miss This Major Earning Trend

Almost 80% of Bitcoin Holders Miss This Major Earning Trend

The post Almost 80% of Bitcoin Holders Miss This Major Earning Trend appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high above $126,000, new data shows that most holders still haven’t explored Bitcoin Finance (BTCFi). A survey by GoMining of more than 700 respondents across North America and Europe found that 77% of Bitcoin holders have never used a BTCFi platform. Sponsored 77% of Bitcoin Holders Haven’t Tried BTCFi This finding highlights a major disconnect between the growing hype around BTCFi and its real-world adoption. The sector has attracted significant venture capital and media coverage, yet the majority of its target users remain untouched. The GoMining survey reveals that interest in BTCFi’s core offerings—yield and liquidity—is high, but trust remains the critical barrier. Bitcoin Finance Survey Results. Source: GoMining Around 73% of respondents said they want to earn yield on their Bitcoin through lending or staking, and 42% expressed interest in accessing liquidity without selling BTC. However, more than 40% of participants said they would allocate less than 20% of their holdings to BTCFi products.  This conservative stance reflects broader trust and complexity issues facing the industry. Sponsored “Although the majority of Bitcoin investors hold it in store for future valuation boost, the asset has more liquidity to power the next generation of DeFi applications. While the corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset is growing, the coin can act as much more than a HODL asset. BTCFi will offer new potential use cases — earning, borrowing, and spending,” said Mark Zalan, CEO of GoMining. A Bitcoin Education Problem Perhaps the most revealing figure is that 65% of Bitcoin holders cannot name a single BTCFi project. Despite millions in venture funding and an increasing number of conferences, BTCFi’s message has yet to reach its core audience—Bitcoin holders themselves. Sponsored Industry experts argue this is not a user failure but a communication failure. BTCFi…
