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.

Flare Lands Second Public Company For its XRP DeFi Framework

Flare Lands Second Public Company For its XRP DeFi Framework

The post Flare Lands Second Public Company For its XRP DeFi Framework appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP’s slow push into institutional finance just picked up another backer. Data-focused blockchain firm Flare announced on Friday that Everything Blockchain Inc. (OTC: EBZT), a U.S.-listed company, has signed a memorandum of understanding to adopt its XRP finance (XRPFi) framework for corporate treasury yield. The move comes months after Nasdaq-listed VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ: VVPR) committed $100 million in XRP to Flare’s ecosystem, making EBZT only the second public company to do so. The agreements mark early steps in Flare’s effort to turn XRP — historically a non-yielding asset — into a productive instrument for institutions. At the center of the framework is Flare’s “FAssets” system, a trustless bridge that gives smart contract functionality to tokens like XRP and bitcoin. Combined with Firelight, Flare’s restaking layer, the setup lets companies convert XRP into FXRP and allocate it across decentralized lending, staking and liquidity protocols. “XRP, now a roughly $150 billion asset, has been a cornerstone of digital finance for more than a decade, yet institutions have had few ways to make it productive,” said Hugo Philion, Flare’s co-founder and CEO. “Flare changes that by enabling a compliant, on-chain, non-custodial yield framework designed for corporate treasuries. With VivoPower and now Everything Blockchain, public companies are validating that XRPFi is not just a concept but an emerging institutional standard,” he added. EBZT framed its decision as part of a broader shift in how public companies treat blockchain assets. “This is about unlocking the true financial utility of digital assets like XRP, not just as speculative holdings, but as yield-bearing instruments that can compound over time,” said Arthur Rozenberg, the company’s CEO. “Flare gives us the rails to do this in a way that meets the governance, security, and auditability standards required of public companies.” For now, the XRPFi push remains small in…

World Bank sold $510 million in bonds backed by loans to 57 companies in emerging markets.

World Bank sold $510 million in bonds backed by loans to 57 companies in emerging markets.

The post World Bank sold $510 million in bonds backed by loans to 57 companies in emerging markets. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The World Bank has sold $510 million in bonds backed by loans it previously issued to companies operating in emerging economies, according to Bloomberg. The transaction is the Bank’s first use of a collateralized loan obligation, a structure common on Wall Street but until now, unused by the development lender. The deal targets institutional investors hungry for yield and pushes private capital into markets where businesses typically face serious financing hurdles. The bonds are backed by debt issued to 57 different companies across Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. That’s according to Yinni Li, a credit analyst at Moody’s Ratings, who reviewed the deal. Companies involved span sectors like telecommunications, food, and beverage production. The idea is to take loan exposures from the World Bank’s book, package them into securities, and sell them off. This would supposedly free up space on the Bank’s balance sheet to issue new loans while passing credit risk to investors. Moody’s rates $320 million piece Aaa, Goldman structures the deal The largest slice of the bonds, $320 million, was rated Aaa by Moody’s, the agency’s highest rating. This portion pays an interest rate of 1.3 percentage points over a benchmark tied to market rates. Moody’s did not assess the creditworthiness of the underlying loans themselves, only the senior tranche. The Bank kept the structure standard: risk is carved into tranches, the safest at the top, and more volatile risk below. This lets cautious investors grab high-rated debt while others take bigger bets on the lower-rated layers. Goldman Sachs worked with the World Bank on the design and execution of the transaction. The World Bank hasn’t done this before, but Wall Street has. These types of deals were heavily used before the 2008 financial crisis. Back then, toxic mortgages were bundled into seemingly safe securities, many…

Ethena’s USDe Outperforms as Stablecoin Market Surpasses $280 Billion

Ethena’s USDe Outperforms as Stablecoin Market Surpasses $280 Billion

The post Ethena’s USDe Outperforms as Stablecoin Market Surpasses $280 Billion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The stablecoin sector has grown by 65% in the past 12 months amid rising adoption. The stablecoin market has crossed the $280 billion mark for the first time ever, adding about $2.8 billion in the last week alone. Top Stablecoins Among them, Ethena’s stablecoin (USDe) has been the standout, growing in market capitalization by more than 200% since August 2024. By comparison, over the same timeframe, Circle’s USDC grew 87% and Tether’s USDT by 39.5%, cementing its position as the largest stablecoin by market cap, according to Artemis data. USDe now accounts for over 4% of the market, trailing only USDC at 24% and USDT at more than 61%. Supply Rates on Aave USDe’s success can partly be attributed to on-chain yields and DeFi integrations with apps like Pendle and Aave. On lending platforms, holders can stake USDe to earn higher rewards than competing stablecoins. For instance, as of press time, Aave’s USDe APY is about 13.78%, compared with 4.17% for USDT and 4.19% for USDC. In late 2024, Ethena Labs launched USDtb, a stablecoin designed to comply with the GENIUS Act in the U.S. It was also approved by Ethena as an eligible backing asset for USDe, and by March this year, USDtb had entered the top 10 stablecoins by market capitalization. Stablecoin Supply by Blockchain Among blockchains, Ethereum remains the undisputed leader, holding more than $148.5 billion, or roughly 53% of the total stablecoin market cap, and followed by TRON with $82.6 billion, though over 99% of the stablecoin supply there is concentrated in USDT alone.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Faces Slow Growth in 2025 as Analysts Tip Mutuum Finance (MUTM) for a 3000% Surge

Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Faces Slow Growth in 2025 as Analysts Tip Mutuum Finance (MUTM) for a 3000% Surge

The post Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Faces Slow Growth in 2025 as Analysts Tip Mutuum Finance (MUTM) for a 3000% Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market is witnessing a fascinating shift in investor attention. While Dogecoin (DOGE) continues to chart a slow and steady course, all eyes are turning toward Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a rising DeFi project analysts believe could redefine growth trajectories with a projected 3000% surge. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has surpassed $15.1 million and has over 15800 investors presently.  While XRP navigates its technical hurdles, Mutuum Finance could chart its own course toward a faster surge. With its innovative financial ecosystem and increasing market traction, Mutuum Finance is emerging as a potential market disruptor. Dogecoin (DOGE): Modest Forecasts Amid Growing Interest in DeFi Alternatives Dogecoin (DOGE), currently trading at $0.2199, is experiencing a slow but steady trajectory as it remains range-bound within the broader meme-coin segment. Market sentiment skews modest, with technical models suggesting potential moderate upside, predictions include a rise to around $0.265 by late August 2025, and a year-end range between $0.20 to $0.50, contingent on ETF approval and renewed speculative momentum. While DOGE retains a loyal community and resilient brand presence, its growth outlook remains more tempered, especially as emerging DeFi platforms like Mutuum Finance begin to attract investor attention. Mutuum Finance Stage 6 Presale Mutuum Finance is at stage 6 of presale, and the token is now priced at $0.035. The next stage will see the price of the token increase by 14.29% to $0.04. Over 15,800 investors have registered for the presale, and the project has so far raised over $15.1 million. Such traction is a reflection of enhanced trust in the project and value proposition within the decentralized finance industry. Developing a Stable and Secure DeFi Platform Mutuum Finance is developing a stablecoin to be pegged on the Ethereum blockchain to the US dollar. The stablecoin is an unfalsifiable, non-algorithmic investment token that avoids volatility…

Ukraine may recover $10 billion with adequate cryptocurrency regulation

Ukraine may recover $10 billion with adequate cryptocurrency regulation

The post Ukraine may recover $10 billion with adequate cryptocurrency regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ukraine has been losing billions of U.S. dollars in budget revenues as a result of crimes related to cryptocurrencies, a new report has indicated. Proper crypto oversight can help the war-torn country’s government to recover some $10 billion or more, according to a quoted estimate. Criminals take advantage of Ukraine’s crypto Wild East From corrupt officials to ordinary criminals, and even the Russian military – many are exploiting Ukraine’s unregulated crypto market for their own benefit and purpose, reveals a study carried out by the U.K.’s leading defense and security think tank. The findings in the report by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), focused on using public-private partnerships to address emerging threats in the crypto space, were quoted by the Kyiv Independent online newspaper, which insisted in an article on Friday: “Regulation is needed to help law enforcement identify crooks faster, curtail money laundering, and leverage more than $200 million in tax revenue from crypto exchanges.” The Eastern European nation, which boasts among the world’s highest crypto ownership rates, is yet to introduce a comprehensive framework for digital currencies, which will allow it to deal with this kind of crime that is costing its budget billions in lost revenues. Ukraine made the first step toward establishing order in its crypto space in early 2022, right around the time Russia launched its full-scale invasion. The law “On Virtual Assets,” passed by the parliament in Kyiv back then, has not been enforced to this day, pending relevant amendments to the Tax Code. Within Ukraine’s accession process with the European Union, its government is expected to implement a few dozen important reforms under a special assistance program, the Ukraine Facility Plan. One of these is aimed at aligning its VA legislation with EU rules. This should be achieved by this year’s last…

Jupiter Lend Attracts $500 Million in TVL as Onchain Lending Hits All-time High

Jupiter Lend Attracts $500 Million in TVL as Onchain Lending Hits All-time High

The post Jupiter Lend Attracts $500 Million in TVL as Onchain Lending Hits All-time High appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Solana-based lending protocol surpassed $500 million in its first day, pushing the lending market on Solana to a new all-time high. Jupiter Lend, a new lending protocol from Solana’s leading decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator Jupiter, surpassed $500 million in total market size in less than just one day after its beta debut. As of press time, Jupiter Lend is the second-largest lending platform on the network, trailing only Kamino Finance, which has $4.4 billion in total value locked (TVL), according to DefiLlama. Top Solana Lending Protocols Developed in conjunction with Fluid, an EVM lending protocol, the protocol enables users to supply and borrow crypto assets with loan-to-value ratios of up to 95%. And, like many other lending platforms, stablecoins are currently yielding the highest returns on Jupiter Lend, generating an average of around 13% APY, while Solana (SOL) yields sit at roughly 2.78%. Hours after the beta launch, Circle’s USDC stablecoin has become the most utilized asset, with $181 million supplied and $151 million borrowed, according to the protocol. On-chain Lending Surges The platform’s debut coincided with Solana’s lending ecosystem hitting a new all-time high on Thursday, Aug. 28, with TVL across the network’s lending protocols reaching $3.55 billion, roughly 10% above the previous peak in January. However, Solana isn’t the only network where lending activity is spiking. Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base are also experiencing record inflows of liquidity into lending protocols, although some, such as BNB Chain, TRON, Avalanche, and Aptos, still remain far below their record highs. DeFi Active Loans Overall, on-chain lending is booming. According to Token Terminal data, more than $40 billion is now borrowed across platforms, with Aave leading the sector with $28.3 billion in active loans, about two-thirds of the entire lending market. The space has grown more than 300% from around $12…
