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.

(Photo by Sergione Infuso/Corbis via Getty Images for ABA) Corbis via Getty Images Coldplay hasn’t released a new single in almost a year. The band dropped “All My Love,” the final cut from Moon Music, in October 2024. Now they’re back in the United Kingdom, wrapping the Music of the Spheres World Tour — the second-highest-grossing concert trek of all time — with a historic Wembley Stadium run as the group returns to its home country. With the spotlight back on Coldplay, sales and streams of the band’s albums and best-known tunes jump in the U.K., and the Grammy-winning act manages an impressive feat on the most important songs tally in the nation this frame. Three Top 40 Hits for Coldplay Coldplay claims three top 40 hits on the Official Singles chart, the main ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. blending sales and streams. The Official Charts Company caps each lead act at three concurrent entries, and the quartet fills its allotment easily. “Yellow” and “Viva La Vida” “Yellow,” the group’s signature tune – one of them, at least – sits at No. 19 on the Official Singles chart this week. “Viva La Vida” is just behind at No. 20. Both climb dramatically week-over-week, as “Yellow” rockets from No. 83, while “Viva La Vida” lifts from No. 80. “Sparks” Reaches a New Peak “Sparks,” an album cut from Coldplay’s debut full-length Parachutes, jumps to No. 22. It only improves by six spaces, but the…

Solana RWA rides the wave of tokenized Pokémon cards

Solana RWA rides the wave of tokenized Pokémon cards

The post Solana RWA rides the wave of tokenized Pokémon cards appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana once again showed that crypto and collectibles can go hand in hand after RWA tokenization had another lively sector – Pokémon cards, which even surpassed the volumes of tokenized stocks.  The Solana network launched a niche market for Pokémon cards in the spring of 2025. Since then, the market has grown exponentially, with record weeks in August.  Those markets are still a novelty on Solana, which retains much more active DeFi use cases. However, RWA tokenization has been tested on multiple chains, based on a mix of community demand and regulations.  When it comes to Pokémon cards, collectibles, and recently, a mix of physical and digital items, there are no specific regulations, allowing an organic growth of traders. The market still has a few hundred users, mostly linked to fandom communities. However, there is a trend for returning users and robust weekly trading volumes.  Solana RWA collectibles surpass XStocks XStocks were one of the much-touted RWAs on Solana, off to a strong start. However, XStocks trading peaked in June. XStocks is still trying to expand its representation on various platforms, recently teaming up with the Moonshot marketplace. However, the momentum on Solana is currently siding with the actively growing collectible trading.  Solana tokenized shares by XStocks were off to a strong start, but transfers and volumes slowed down in August, while exotic RWA picked up, based on the activity of Collectors Crypt. | Source: Dune Analytics Package-opening and secondary marketplace volumes for Pokémon and other collections have already broken above $10M in weekly volumes, based on Dune Analytics reports.  XStocks are distributed among multiple exchanges, with some of the markets achieving $2M to $3M in weekly volumes.  Overall, XStocks showed a slowing trend in transfer volumes and relatively small activity on DEXs. In August, XStocks reported around $74.6M in…

President Vladimir Putin rejects top bankers warning that Russia’s economy is stagnating

President Vladimir Putin rejects top bankers warning that Russia’s economy is stagnating

The post President Vladimir Putin rejects top bankers warning that Russia’s economy is stagnating appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Vladimir Putin has dismissed sentiments from Russia’s most prominent banker that the country’s economy is slipping into stagnation. He defended the central bank’s high interest rate policy, claiming it would control inflation amid rising costs. Herman Gref, chief executive of state-owned Sberbank PJSC, warned on Thursday that Russia’s economy had entered a “technical recession” in the second quarter. He told the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok that data from July and August showed “quite clear symptoms that we are approaching zero growth.” When asked at the forum on Friday if he shared the banker’s assessment, Putin’s response was “No.” The Russian head of state admitted that some officials within the government raised similar points to Gref, but insisted that the central bank’s restrictive stance was necessary to avoid a surge in inflation.  “We need to ensure a soft calm landing of the economy,” Putin told the local press earlier today. Interest rates clock highs, but inflation is steady Gref, who leads Russia’s largest lender, asked policymakers to slash borrowing costs, arguing that high interest rates were suffocating businesses and households.  “Given the current level of inflation, recovery can only be expected when the rate is at 12% or lower,” he asserted. Sberbank’s internal forecasts predicted the benchmark rate would average around 14% by the end of the year, which, according to the banker, is still too high for businesses to grow. Last September, the Russian central bank raised its key rate to 21%, the highest in two decades, as inflation accelerated on the back of war spending and supply shortages. Per Trading Economics data, Russia’s annual inflation eased to 8.8% from 9.4% in June, the lowest level since October 2024. While policymakers have since reduced borrowing rates to 18%, they are more reluctant to make steeper cuts. Officials say…

Thumzup Media invests $1 million in Bitcoin, Ether, and other altcoins

Thumzup Media invests $1 million in Bitcoin, Ether, and other altcoins

Trump family-backed Thumzup Media announced on Friday that it bought $1 million worth of Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, XRP, and Solana as part of a major crypto expansion. The company, which went public on Nasdaq in October with an $8.2 million raise at $5 per share, is now moving into mining and treasury asset strategies, according to a shareholder letter. Thumzup also signed a deal to acquire DogeHash Technologies, a mining company operating 2,500 Dogecoin rigs, with 1,000 more on the way, but that agreement is awaiting shareholder approval. Thumzup’s move comes after a series of crypto investments earlier this year. In January, the board approved its first $1 million Bitcoin purchase, followed by a second one weeks later. By June, Thumzup had allegedly secured a $6.5 million raise at $6 per share, locking in funding from strategic investors through a new partnership with Dominari Securities, a crypto-focused investment bank. Then in August, Thumzup closed a much larger $50 million stock offering at $10 per share, also through Dominari. Thumzup prepares Dogecoin mining expansion with DogeHash deal The shareholder letter claims that DogeHash’s current 2,500 miners are already online, and another 1,000 units, described as “best in class,” have been ordered and will arrive by year-end. The mining rigs are not all Antminer L9s, but Bitmain’s specs on similar equipment show a hash rate of 16 GH/s per machine, consuming 3,360W. Using Bitmain’s calculator, the company estimates that 3,500 machines could produce between $22.7 million and $103.2 million annually, depending on DOGE price, currently at $0.22. This deal would drop Thumzup directly into a global crypto mining market worth $10.5 billion, expected to grow to $22.6 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.9%, based on projections from Business Research Insights. The letter said the acquisition could outperform Thumzup’s original ad platform in terms of returns and would reduce the company’s need for future outside capital. Chairman and CEO Robert Steele wrote, “This transaction puts Thumzup on a high-confidence trajectory to significant shareholder value creation.” Steele said the company expects to grow its mining fleet beyond 3,500 units using funds from the recent offering, aiming to raise the firm’s overall revenue run rate into 2026 and beyond. Trump policy, Coinbase partnership and new advisory board back crypto strategy President Donald Trump signed an executive order backing U.S. dominance in financial tech. That order launched a national Bitcoin reserve and rolled out the Genius Act, which encouraged more public firms to hold crypto and participate in blockchain innovation. More than 100 public companies have since adopted treasury strategies involving crypto. At least 40 miners are now listed, with the top three, MARA Holdings, CleanSpark, and Riot Platforms, valued at $5.6 billion, $4.5 billion, and $3 billion, respectively. Meanwhile, companies like Bitmine Immersion Technologies have surged to billion-dollar valuations in weeks. Thumzup wants in on that momentum. It now holds Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, Ether, Litecoin, and USDC, alongside Bitcoin. Just this May, Thumzup partnered with Coinbase Prime for access to institutional trading, custody, and a Bitcoin-backed credit line. The company also formed a crypto advisory board to guide expansion. The first appointee is Alex Hoffman, head of ecosystem at DogeOS, a Dogecoin application layer. Hoffman leads ecosystem development and partnerships at DogeOS, helping users and firms use DOGE for staking, lending, and other strategies that generate yield. “We’re focused on helping Dogecoin holders get more utility from their assets,” Hoffman said. More board members are expected soon, per the shareholder letter. Want your project in front of crypto’s top minds? Feature it in our next industry report, where data meets impact.
