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.

Can tokenized private credit stress crypto projects? Recent bankruptcies raise fears of insolvent lending vaults

Can tokenized private credit stress crypto projects? Recent bankruptcies raise fears of insolvent lending vaults

The post Can tokenized private credit stress crypto projects? Recent bankruptcies raise fears of insolvent lending vaults appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Private credit is the most active category for on-chain tokenized assets. Recent bankruptcies and value write-offs in private credit are causing concerns about the crypto space and the usage of tokenized loans.  Private credit is one of the fastest-growing categories in traditional finance, which has crossed over into the crypto space. Private credit is estimated to grow to $2.6T by 2029, according to Morgan Stanley estimates. Others put the industry size at $3T already toward the end of 2025.  Private credit invited extra scrutiny after US Senator Elizabeth Warren urged for more oversight of the sector. The call for investigation arrived after the recent implosions of Tricolor Holdings and First Brands Group. The expansion of private credit raised concerns of toxic, non-transparent risk. Tokenized private credit is still finding its way into the DeFi space, but it has shown how the uncertain valuation of loans can affect crypto projects. Private credit may inject more risk into crypto space Private credit lumps together loans from multiple sources. According to RWA.xyz, $2.1B in private credit has been tokenized, up from just $49,000 at the end of 2024. The rapid inflow of tokens based on private credit is raising questions about whether crypto finance can absorb the risk. Over $14B in private credit is already carried by the Figure HELOC token, although the asset is only traded on its internal market. Other tokenized private loan tokens have found their way into DeFi.  Tokenizing a basket of loans further obscures the quality of assets and can threaten crypto protocols. Morpho turned into a vector for private credit risk Morpho, one of the most widely used lending protocols, has already gained a reputation for supporting risky vaults and allowing user-generated curation. Most of the vaults on Morpho use crypto assets as collateral.  Some specialized vaults…

Coinbase Inks Karnataka Deal to Train 10k Devs on Base

The post Coinbase Inks Karnataka Deal to Train 10k Devs on Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Deal: Coinbase signed a strategic MoU with the Karnataka government to train 10,000 students on the Base Layer-2 network. The Strategy: The partnership targets the human capital supply chain, incubating 25 startups to lock India’s tech talent into the Coinbase ecosystem. The Context: India leads global crypto adoption; Coinbase is pivoting from pure trading to infrastructure dominance in the region. Coinbase India is now a key link between the United States and the Karnataka government, creating a formal on-chain channel between U.S. crypto infrastructure and India’s tech hub. Indian state of Karnataka has signed an MoU with Coinbase to upgrade the state’s Web3 market through the Base network, a move framed as a long-term partnership rather than a short pilot. Coinbase products, led by the Base network, stand to benefit as more local developers learn to ship tokenized and on-chain applications, giving Base a direct path into India’s retail and startup market. Related: India’s Crypto Shift: ‘Bharat’ and Women Drive Shift to Long-Term Wealth Creation Coinbase And Karnataka Map Out A Base-First Web3 Program On December 3, the Karnataka government, at the 8th ASSOCHAM Smart Datacenters and Cloud Infrastructure Conclave, agreed to collaborate to catalyze growth in the local economy.

Could XRP Surge? Experts Break Down How a Supply Shock Might Fuel a Rally

Could XRP Surge? Experts Break Down How a Supply Shock Might Fuel a Rally

The post Could XRP Surge? Experts Break Down How a Supply Shock Might Fuel a Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analysts explain real XRP supply shock occurs through multiple removal mechanisms ETFs have purchased approximately $906 million worth of XRP from market inventory DeFi locking, institutional custody and escrow returns reduce tradable token pool The concept of an XRP supply shock has generated discussion recently, but two analysts state that most investors misunderstand the actual mechanics. EasyA co-founder Phil Kwok and veteran Bitcoin investor Pumpius outlined how supply shocks develop and why current price stability may mask underlying structural pressure. Kwok argues that genuine supply shock begins when XRP exits the open market through various channels. Decentralized finance will serve as one of the primary drivers of this process, according to his analysis. DeFi protocols lock tokens into systems where they cannot easily return to exchange order books. a lot of people talk about supply shocks sending the price of $XRP skyrocketing. but almost nobody explains how that actually happens. in a nutshell, xrp must be taken off the market. and one of the biggest levers for this is defi. defi takes xrp and locks it up in liquidity… — Phil Kwok | EasyA (@kwok_phil) December 3, 2025 DeFi Systems Remove Tokens From Trading Pool Liquidity pools, lending markets, collateral systems and staking mechanisms gradually absorb tokens, reducing liquid supply available to traders. Kwok stated that DeFi layers on XRPL matter because these ecosystems create an early structural squeeze on circulating supply as they expand. Pumpius outlined several mechanisms that remove XRP from circulation. Spot ETFs must purchase actual tokens rather than futures or synthetic exposure, meaning issuers buy directly from markets and pull liquid supply off exchanges. As these products attract inflows, they steadily drain available inventory. XRP ETFs have purchased approximately $906 million worth of tokens following inflows exceeding $850 million recently. This equals nearly 500 million XRP…

revolution in yield for 200 million USDC

revolution in yield for 200 million USDC

The post revolution in yield for 200 million USDC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Solv Foundation, a leader in the Bitcoin Finance sector, has announced the launch of its architecture on Stellar, the blockchain recognized for its speed, scalability, and dedication to financial services.  This integration marks a turning point for the world of stablecoins, particularly for the 200 million USDC currently in circulation on Stellar, paving the way for new yield opportunities for both institutional and retail users. From Payment Adoption to Asset Performance USDC, already widely adopted on Stellar thanks to its accessibility in over 170 countries, has solidified its role as a benchmark asset for international payments, remittances, B2B transactions, and salaries. However, the growing demand from institutions and users for tools that allow them to leverage idle balances has prompted Solv Foundation to step in with innovative solutions. As highlighted by Ryan Chow, co-founder and CEO of Solv: “Payments drive adoption, but now institutions and users seek yield. On Stellar, we are enabling users and fintech to unlock productive capital strategies on USDC. This represents the next phase of stablecoin utility, transitioning from cross-border transfers to capital-efficient DeFi.” Solv Foundation: the platform that transforms stablecoins Solv Foundation positions itself as a strategic layer that transforms stablecoins from mere payment tools into productive, yield-bearing assets. Through solutions like the BTC+ vault, institutional lending, and capital-efficient looping strategies, Solv enables fintech, SMEs, remittance operators, and retail users to convert liquidity intended for payments into tangible yield. In this way, USDC evolves from a simple settlement currency to a true on-chain market asset. A Global Distribution Ecosystem The expansion of Solv on Stellar is bolstered by the blockchain’s extensive distribution network, which includes global partners such as Circle, PayPal, MoneyGram, and a range of regional wallets and fintechs including Airtm, OwlPay, ChipperCash, Meru, Yellow Card, Mercuryo, and AlfredPay. This network provides Solv…
