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.

Best Altcoins to Buy as BlackRock Acquires $200M Bitcoin: Market Reversal?

Best Altcoins to Buy as BlackRock Acquires $200M Bitcoin: Market Reversal?

The post Best Altcoins to Buy as BlackRock Acquires $200M Bitcoin: Market Reversal? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Takeaways: BlackRock’s renewed $BTC and $ETH accumulation hints at a market sentiment shift, positioning high-quality altcoins for potential upside as liquidity returns. Best Wallet Presale ($BEST) targets 40% of the wallet market with Fireblocks MPC-CMP security, presale access, and dynamic staking incentives. PEPENODE introduces a mine-to-earn meme coin economy, using virtual nodes and tiered rewards to add game-like mechanics to meme speculation. Solana ($SOL) couples 50,000+ TPS, low fees, and the new Harmonic block-building system to capture future DeFi and trading volume. After weeks of heavy spot Bitcoin ETF outflows, the tide may finally be turning. Fresh on‑chain data shows BlackRock is not just dipping back in but buying size. On November 24, its custody wallets absorbed roughly 2,269 $BTC (about $198M at today’s price) alongside 16.6K $ETH (around $48M). That kind of aggressive re‑accumulation from the world’s largest asset manager often signals a shift in institutional risk appetite. If BlackRock is comfortable adding nearly $250M in $BTC and $ETH after a choppy quarter, smaller desks and family offices typically follow. Historically, those inflection points have marked the early stages of new rotations into the best altcoins. The opportunity isn’t just in chasing large‑cap momentum. When liquidity comes back into the top of the market, it eventually trickles down into infrastructure plays, high‑beta narratives, and speculative presales which attract retail attention. Novel crypto projects tend to see outsized upside as users return, fees normalize, and activity resurges. Below are three of the best altcoins to watch in this potential reversal: Best Wallet Token ($BEST) as a next‑gen wallet play, PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) as a mine‑to‑earn meme coin experiment, and Solana ($SOL) as a battle‑tested high‑throughput layer‑1 set to benefit directly from renewed on‑chain activity. 1. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – A Next Gen Crypto Wallet Project If institutional flows…

Doma Protocol Launches Mainnet

Doma Protocol Launches Mainnet

The post Doma Protocol Launches Mainnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As tokenization continues expanding into real-world asset classes, blockchain developers are now turning toward one of the internet’s most established markets: domain names. Today, Doma Protocol launched its mainnet, introducing what it calls the first DNS-compliant blockchain infrastructure for transforming traditional Web2 domains into programmable DeFi assets. The rollout aims to modernize the $360 billion secondary domain ecosystem through fractional ownership, ERC-20 trading, and cross-chain liquidity — all while preserving DNS resolution and adhering to existing regulatory frameworks. Sponsored Sponsored Internet Real Estate Meets DeFi Infrastructure Operating as a Layer 2 on the OP Stack, Doma leverages LayerZero for cross-chain operability and integrates with Base, Solana, Avalanche, and ENS. At mainnet launch, users can tokenize and trade premium Web2 domains like .com and .ai names as ERC-20 tokens, unlocking programmability and market access for traditionally illiquid assets. “Domains have always been among the most undervalued internet assets — historically illiquid, slow to transfer, and only accessible to well-capitalized buyers,” said Michael Ho, CBO at D3 Global. “Doma makes these assets programmable and tradable, turning static digital real estate into a liquid market.” Testnet Data Hints at Developer Demand The mainnet rollout follows a 5-month testnet phase that saw over 35 million transactions and 1.45 million addresses, according to project data. More than 200,000 domains were tokenized across the test environment, with use cases like software.ai demonstrating onchain fractional trading while maintaining full DNS resolution. A $1 million developer fund, launched under the Doma Forge initiative, is designed to accelerate integrations and DeFi experimentation on the protocol. Market Context: Domain Industry Scale Meets Liquidity Gaps The domain name ecosystem is massive — with over 368 million domains registered globally as of early 2025, according to Hostinger. Yet despite that scale, the secondary market remains highly fragmented and illiquid. Sponsored Sponsored Public…

XRP ETFs Set to Boost Price, Liquidity & Global Adoption – Analyst

XRP ETFs Set to Boost Price, Liquidity & Global Adoption – Analyst

The post XRP ETFs Set to Boost Price, Liquidity & Global Adoption – Analyst appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP ETFs Poised to Ignite Price Surge, Says Analyst Chad Steingraber Renowned analyst Chad Steingraber forecasts a bullish surge for XRP, driven by XRP ETFs poised to boost global utility, liquidity, and price momentum within months. According to Steingraber, the mechanism is simple yet powerful. During ETF trading hours, XRP often gains $0.10–$0.20, small moves that make XRP ETFs look strong and draw both retail and institutional interest.  Prices may stabilize or dip after hours, but the cycle repeats daily, steadily building momentum. Over weeks, this consistent performance can create the conditions for a major price surge. Steingraber highlights that XRP ETFs do more than boost short-term gains, they offer regulated, transparent, and accessible exposure, lowering barriers for investors worldwide. This growing institutional and retail engagement could fast-track adoption and cement XRP as a key liquidity asset in global markets. XRP spot ETFs are now live in the U.S., with Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, and Grayscale leading the charge. Franklin Templeton and Grayscale stand out as major catalysts, leveraging their trusted reputations to attract significant institutional capital and cement XRP’s role in mainstream investment portfolios. As ETFs gain traction, XRP’s market dynamics are set to strengthen and stabilize. Investors may see consistent gains during trading hours, minor adjustments after hours, and a steady buildup of momentum.  In the months ahead, this pattern could trigger a significant price surge, enhancing XRP’s utility and cementing its role in global digital finance. Therefore, Steingraber highlights XRP ETFs as catalysts for market expansion. With major ETFs now trading in the U.S., XRP is set for increased adoption, visibility, and potentially significant price momentum with the 4th-largest cryptocurrency having reclaimed the psychological price of $2.20.  Conclusion As XRP ETFs gain momentum, they are redefining market dynamics by blending accessibility, credibility, and liquidity. Small, consistent intraday…

Monad ships mainnet, while markets rebound

Monad ships mainnet, while markets rebound

The post Monad ships mainnet, while markets rebound appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Markets bounced as December rate-cut odds swung back above 80%, lifting BTC, equities and gold. Monad launched mainnet yesterday, but MON’s day-one listing on Solana and Hyperliquid was arguably the bigger story. Finally, we dive into Galaxy’s investment case, with GLXY allowing investors to express a bullish crypto view while also getting exposure to AI compute infrastructure demand. Indices Markets bounced on Monday as odds swung back toward a potential December rate cut. Bitcoin climbed as much as 2.73%, briefly pushing above $89,000 before closing the day at $88,200 (+1.72%). The standout performer, however, was the Nasdaq 100 (+2.22%), posting its strongest daily gain since mid-May. The S&P 500 (+1.20%) also logged its best session in six weeks, while Gold (+1.75%) edged out BTC on the day, closing at its highest level since Nov. 14. It seems markets have been hyperfocused on US rate developments over the past two weeks. Yesterday, Fed Governor Waller reiterated that the labor market’s weakness could justify a 25 bps cut in December. The latest dovish comments led to probabilities of a December rate cut rising above 80% on both Polymarket and the CME’s FedWatch Tool. The chart below shows Polymarket’s odds for the Fed decision in December. Over the past two weeks, odds have swung sharply between a 25 bps cut and no change, underscoring the challenge the market faces in pricing near-term rates in the absence of economic data after the longest US government shutdown recorded. Back on the crypto side, most indices outperformed BTC, catching a bid after a tough month for risk assets. The best-performing index was Crypto Miners (+8.4%), with Cleanspark (CLSK) up more than 10% after JP Morgan raised its guidance for the company. Notably, the…

Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink On Her ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Role

Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink On Her ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Role

The post Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink On Her ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Role appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Somehow, we have gotten ourselves in a situation where the biggest mystery of the MCU is not the details of Avengers: Doomsday, but rather who a single actress is playing in the next Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day. That would be Sadie Sink, about to finish up her run as Max on Stranger Things, where season 5 debuts tomorrow and will finish up on Christmas and New Year’s Eve with more episodes (groan). Now, she’s talking to EW about a lot of things, but finally chats a bit about her Spidey role, albeit without confirming anything specific. Still, more clues here. On being able to talk about the role at all: “Tom can wave at the fans because people know who he is, but then you get a glimpse of me and I’m like a penguin That’ll be the situation for a bit.” On potentially being Jean Grey: “That was happening before I even knew that I would be working on this project,” Sink clarifies of that specific speculation. “I was like, ‘Wait! What are people talking about?’” On potentially being Punisher sidekick Rachel Cole-Alves, and guesses about comic redheads specifically: “A lot of people forget that hair color can change, but, yeah, I understand all of the theories.” She says that, but…filming on set, we can see she does in fact seem to have her natural red hair color, so I’m not sure we’re about to see her transform into Gwen Stacy or anything that extreme. The Jean Grey idea came when Sink was first cast without us knowing that she would be in Brand New Day, as we knew A) the MCU is about to introduce a new cast of X-Men with Secret Wars and B) well, the red hair thing. This idea was recently leant more validity…
