ENA, MORPHO Explode amid New 21Shares ETP Announcement

ENA, MORPHO Explode amid New 21Shares ETP Announcement

21shares, one of the leading crypto ETP issuers, revealed two new exchange-traded products tied to Ethena (ENA) and Morpho (MORPHO). The announcement resulted in a sharp uptick in the prices of the tokens. The new products, the 21shares Ethena ETP (EENA) and the 21shares Morpho ETP (MORPH), now appear on major European exchanges such as SIX Swiss Exchange, Euronext Amsterdam, and Euronext Paris. Today we’re proud to launch two new products: the 21shares Morpho ETP (MORPH) and the 21shares Ethena ETP (EENA). With these launches, we have now introduced 16 new fully physically backed ETPs in 2025. pic.twitter.com/pb1KbWwa2f — 21shares (@21shares) December 3, 2025 The products offer investors direct access to rapidly expanding DeFi ecosystems through familiar, regulated financial rails. “Ethena and Morpho represent two of the most important advances in on-chain financial infrastructure – one tackling the global dollar market and the other redefining decentralized credit,” said Mandy Chiu, Global Head of Product Development at 21shares. This comes after 21Shares previously announced the cross-listing of six additional ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm. These include 21shares Aave ETP (AAVE), Crypto Basket Index ETP (HODL), Cardano ETP (AADA), Chainlink ETP (LINK), Polkadot ETP (ADOT), and Crypto Basket 10 Core ETP (HODLX). ENA Surges as Adoption Accelerates Ethena’s native token, ENA, saw a massive 18% price surge and claimed a daily high of $0.2802. The token currently trades at $0.2783 with the rally pushing the market cap to $2 billion while trading volume nearly doubled to $367 million. On the other hand, Ethena Labs described November as a period of intense expansion with ENA listed on new platforms. The project discussed broader oracle transparency, integrations with major partners, and wider adoption of USDe stablecoin. Here's what happened @ethena_labs in November: • $ENA went live on on @RobinhoodApp. • $ENA went live on @HyperliquidX spot via @unitxyz. • Launched Oracle Specifications Dashboard, providing transparency on partner oracle design, collateral availability, and risk… https://t.co/OU9Is23aRr pic.twitter.com/a4AnNHjiqK — Ethena Labs (@ethena_labs) December 3, 2025   Despite the latest price jump, ENA trades far below its peak of $1.52. MORPHO Turns Bullish Meanwhile, Morpho token climbed 7% over the past day, reaching a high of $1.50 before trading near $1.45. Although still down significantly from its peak of $4.17, the debut of the MORPH ETP makes exposure to Morpho more accessible for traditional investors. Morpho Blue, the protocol’s foundation, enables custom, risk-isolated credit markets that already support billions in deposits and active loans. Co-founder Merlin Egalite recently said that for DeFi to function as a neutral financial backbone, it must rely on immutable, non-custodial systems. For DeFi to truly become the backbone of the financial system, protocols need to be immutable and non-custodial so the infrastructure stays credibly neutral: anyone should be able to use it safely without fearing being locked in or locked out.

These features aim to protect users while sustaining the protocol’s neutrality. nextThe post ENA, MORPHO Explode amid New 21Shares ETP Announcement appeared first on Coinspeaker.

Flow has transitioned to DeFi; the confidence and predicament of the former NFT leader.

Flow has transitioned to DeFi; the confidence and predicament of the former NFT leader.

Author: Nancy, PANews After the brutal baptism of market cycles, very few survivors remain in the NFT sector. Even Flow, once a top performer, could not escape the fate of changing times and began to seek new growth points. On December 2nd, Flow announced its transformation into a democratized, consumer-grade DeFi platform, a strategic shift that has attracted significant market attention. Leveraging its large user base and unique technological advantages, Flow is attempting to adapt to market changes and save itself. However, whether it can secure a place in the fiercely competitive DeFi arena remains a huge question mark. Launching DeFi lending and wealth management products, and upgrading to a deflationary token. “Today’s DeFi is hostile; users must possess advanced technical skills to survive, with issues like slippage, MEV, and liquidation cascading effects constantly emerging. Every interface is designed for experts, forcing the rest to the margins. This is precisely the gap we aim to fill,” wrote Roham, CEO of Dapper Labs. In response to this situation, Flow's new goal is to create consumer-oriented DeFi, allowing ordinary users to enjoy the benefits of the crypto world without needing to be technical experts, and truly achieving an easy-to-use experience for mainstream users. Flow is building a series of network architecture components called "built-in protocols," which are more like public financial infrastructure directly embedded in the network layer. In the DeFi space, built-in protocols can provide shared liquidity across the entire ecosystem and integrate liquidity pools from various vertical sectors, avoiding liquidity fragmentation and allowing new projects to avoid the challenges of a cold start. Flow Credit Market (FCM), an automated lending protocol, is the first built-in protocol developed by the Flow Foundation. It utilizes Flow's native on-chain scheduling system to set periodic triggers without the need for external oracles, significantly reducing liquidation risk while increasing loan value (LTV), thereby bringing higher natural returns to both lenders and borrowers. Dapper Labs CEO Roham pointed out that traditional DeFi lending is typically highly punitive, only liquidating and charging penalties when a user's position is close to liquidation. FCM, on the other hand, employs proactive risk management, continuously monitoring each position on-chain automatically and rebalancing it before risks materialize. Internal risk simulations show that FCM has protected user deposits from liquidation during numerous major market crashes, while also reducing costs by up to 99.9% compared to lending protocols on other networks. To accelerate the launch of FCM (Financial Flywheel) services, Dapper Labs has launched Peak Money, a consumer-grade financial flywheel app aimed at becoming the next crypto gateway to 100 million new users. According to Roham, users can deposit cash or crypto assets (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and FLOW) into Peak Money and earn higher returns than any bank (APY up to 25% for cryptocurrencies and 10% for cash), while funds can be earned and used at any time. The product has no minimum investment, no gatekeeper, no mnemonic phrase required, and no liquidation risks. Peak Money will release details of coverage for specific loss events upon official launch. Currently, Peak Money has an open waiting list. Furthermore, Flow's built-in protocols may be expanded to perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and other applications in the future, providing more user-friendly DeFi applications for mainstream consumers. To achieve sustainable value capture, Flow upgraded its token, transitioning to a deflationary token. The Flow Foundation's FLIP-351 proposal directly links network usage to network value. Each transaction burns tokens, creating scarcity through network activity and thus increasing token value. When the network consistently operates at approximately 250 TPS, the FLOW token will achieve net deflation. Even so, Flow's transaction costs remain lower than mainstream networks like Solana and Base. It's worth noting that the current price of the FLOW token has fallen by over 90% from its all-time high. What gives Flow the confidence and challenges in its cross-industry transformation into DeFi? The current DeFi market is in a phase of rapid growth and fierce competition. As the regulatory environment becomes more favorable, leading protocols are leveraging their first-mover advantage to solidify their positions, while traditional institutions with both compliance and funding advantages are also accelerating their entry, continuously raising the barriers to entry in the field. As one of the few crypto sectors with proven product-market fit (PMF), DeFi still has enormous growth potential. For Flow, which is attempting to transform from consumer-grade Level 1 to DeFi infrastructure, this is not only an opportunity for strategic restructuring but also a challenging "reboot." As a "newcomer" to the DeFi sector, Flow possesses a certain degree of confidence for its cross-industry transformation. On one hand, Flow didn't start from scratch; its accumulated experience in the NFT field provided a unique starting line. With the phenomenal application NBA Top Shot, Flow amassed a large user base. Although its popularity has declined significantly from its peak, the accumulated traffic remains substantial. According to official data, Flow has over 41 million total accounts and over 1.1 million monthly active users. Meanwhile, according to DeFiLlama data, as of December 3rd, Flow's TVL reached $107 million, a 187.1% increase since the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, Flow boasts technological advantages, being designed specifically for large-scale consumer applications. Its low-barrier, low-cost, and high-throughput on-chain environment naturally aligns with the high-frequency trading needs of DeFi. In October of this year, Flow also launched two key upgrades, Forte and Crescendo, aiming to address scalability, deep innovation in DeFi, and cross-chain interoperability issues, further providing technological support for ecosystem transformation. Forte's core goal is to completely eliminate the reliance on off-chain bots or centralized custody services for complex on-chain financial logic. All automation (limit orders, dynamic interest rates, strategy vaults, etc.) runs securely directly on-chain, making it easier for developers to build complex financial applications. Crescendo upgrades Flow with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalence, enabling seamless interoperability with Ethereum-based applications and protocols. Flow claims to be one of the few blockchains capable of supporting millions of daily active users (DAU) without incurring high or unpredictable gas fees. However, Flow's transformation still faces considerable challenges. On one hand, all new public chains face the challenge of a liquidity cold start. Although Flow has a significant user base, it mainly consists of NFT users, most of whom have already left the market. How to re-attract these users and convert them into DeFi users remains highly uncertain. On the other hand, the ecosystems of leading public chains are already quite rich and have formed barriers. Flow needs to quickly attract high-quality developers and build innovative applications that are recognized by the market in order to form a sustainable positive cycle of ecosystem. More importantly, Flow has long been labeled by the market as an NFT public chain. To break this stereotype, Flow must present a successful DeFi application case to prove its suitability for the financial sector. Overall, the technical architecture and user base add more certainty to Flow's "re-entrepreneurial" endeavor. However, the success of this transformation hinges on Flow's ability to activate dormant NFT users through a compelling DeFi narrative and break down liquidity barriers.

Ethereum Futures Trading Volume Stuns Market, Overtakes Bitcoin on CME

Ethereum Futures Trading Volume Stuns Market, Overtakes Bitcoin on CME

BitcoinWorld Ethereum Futures Trading Volume Stuns Market, Overtakes Bitcoin on CME In a stunning market shift, Ethereum futures trading volume has officially overtaken Bitcoin on the world’s premier derivatives exchange. For the first time ever, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) recorded more trading activity for ETH futures than for BTC. This milestone signals a profound change in how major financial players view the second-largest cryptocurrency. Let’s explore what this means for Ethereum’s future and the broader crypto landscape. What Does This Surge in Ethereum Futures Trading Volume Mean? The CME is a titan of traditional finance. When its Ethereum futures trading volume eclipses Bitcoin’s, it’s not a minor blip. This development, first reported by Markets.com, represents a clear vote of confidence from institutional investors. These are the hedge funds, asset managers, and corporations that move markets. Their growing preference for Ethereum contracts suggests a strategic pivot. They are likely positioning for what analysts see as an imminent uptrend for ETH. This volume milestone follows a similar precedent set in July. At that time, Ethereum’s futures open interest—the total number of outstanding contracts—also surpassed Bitcoin’s on the CME. Therefore, this isn’t an isolated event. It’s part of a consistent trend of growing institutional engagement with Ethereum’s derivatives market. Why Are Institutions Betting on Ethereum Now? Several powerful factors are driving this institutional frenzy. First, the long-awaited Ethereum 2.0 upgrade has successfully transitioned the network to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. This change addresses critical issues like high energy consumption and scalability. Consequently, it makes Ethereum a more sustainable and efficient platform for large-scale adoption. Second, Ethereum’s core utility in decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) provides a fundamental use case that extends beyond digital gold. Institutions see value in a blockchain that powers a vast ecosystem of applications. Key drivers include: Network Utility: Ethereum is the foundational layer for thousands of dApps. Regulatory Clarity: Growing discussion of ETH as a commodity, not a security. Staking Yields: The merge allows ETH holders to earn rewards, appealing to yield-seeking capital. Upcoming Upgrades: Continued development (like proto-danksharding) promises lower fees and higher throughput. How Could This Impact Ethereum’s Price and Market Position? Increased Ethereum futures trading volume from institutions typically leads to greater market liquidity and stability. However, it also introduces new dynamics. Large futures positions can increase short-term volatility around contract expiry dates, known as ‘witching hours’. More importantly, sustained high volume validates Ethereum’s maturity as an asset class. It attracts more traditional finance products, like Ethereum-based ETFs, which would funnel even more capital into the ecosystem. This creates a positive feedback loop: more products bring more investors, which in turn justifies further product development. The result could be a significant re-rating of ETH’s value relative to other crypto assets. What Are the Challenges and Risks to Consider? While this milestone is bullish, savvy investors must remain cautious. The derivatives market itself can be a double-edged sword. High leverage used in futures trading can amplify price swings in both directions. A sudden market downturn could trigger a cascade of liquidations, leading to a sharp, exaggerated price drop. Furthermore, Ethereum still faces technical hurdles. Network congestion and high gas fees during peak demand periods remain a concern. The success of future scalability solutions is not guaranteed. Therefore, while institutional interest is a powerful tailwind, it does not eliminate Ethereum’s inherent execution risks. Conclusion: A Defining Moment for Crypto Markets The day Ethereum futures trading volume outpaced Bitcoin on the CME marks a historic inflection point. It underscores a market narrative that is gradually shifting from ‘digital gold’ to ‘programmable money and digital infrastructure.’ For investors, this signals that institutional capital is beginning to appreciate Ethereum’s unique value proposition beyond mere store of value. This milestone is a potent indicator of shifting tides, suggesting that Ethereum’s journey is entering a new, more mature phase defined by utility and widespread financial adoption. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q: What is the CME and why is it important?A: The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is one of the world’s largest and most regulated financial derivatives exchanges. When it lists a crypto futures product, it signals legitimacy and provides a trusted venue for large institutions to gain exposure. Q: Does high futures volume guarantee an Ethereum price increase?A> Not necessarily. High volume shows strong interest and liquidity, which is generally positive. However, the price direction depends on whether the volume is primarily from buyers (longs) or sellers (shorts). The current analysis suggests it is bullish, but it’s not a guarantee. Q: How is futures trading volume different from open interest?A: Trading volume measures the total number of contracts traded in a period (a flow). Open interest measures the total number of active, unsettled contracts at a point in time (a stock). High volume with rising open interest often confirms a strong trend. Q: Should retail investors change their strategy based on this news?A> This news reinforces Ethereum’s growing institutional adoption, which is a key long-term fundamental. Retail investors should consider it within their overall research and risk tolerance, not as a sole reason to buy or sell. Q: Could Bitcoin futures volume reclaim the lead?A> Absolutely. Crypto markets are highly competitive. While this is a significant milestone for Ethereum, Bitcoin remains the dominant crypto asset. Market leadership in derivatives can shift based on news, macroeconomic conditions, and technological developments for both networks.
