Four Crypto Projects to Keep Tabs on in 2020
ETH Ethereum RIF RSK Infrastructure Framework
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The cryptocurrency world has more than its fair share of self-proclaimed clairvoyants. Whether it’s traders predicting great things for a digital token that’s set to launch, or a journalist touting the next groundbreaking Web3 project, future-gazing is a popular pastime.

With so many crypto projects in the offing, and so many supposed psychics pulling you in different directions, it can be tough to know who or what to believe. Even studious observers of the cryptoeconomy have difficulty reaching consensus on the next sure thing. If 2019 has been any indication, however, the following projects are likely to generate even bigger waves in 2020

Saga Saga is a highly ambitious monetary venture which seeks to position its digital token, SGA, as a truly global currency. The UK-based company has been tirelessly working on perfecting and polishing its monetary and governance models for the past two years ahead of the ERC20 token launch on December 10. Initially backed by a basket of national currencies replicating the IMF’s SDR, the idea is that, as user trust in SGA grows, reliance upon reserves will decrease and SGA will, as it were, stand on its own two feet.

The industry experience of the Saga team certainly nourishes the perception that the project may launch into the stratosphere. Its advisory board includes Professor Jacob A. Frenkel, PhD, chairman of JPMorgan Chase International and former governor of the Bank of Israel, and Professor Myron Scholes, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. With such economic heavyweights behind it, Saga has already attracted $30m of seed funding from a collective of partners including Vertex Ventures. Watch this space.

Fetch.ai An AI-powered blockchain that launched in 2019, Fetch allows organizations to pose questions about datasets residing on other companies’ servers; payments, meanwhile, will be made with digital tokens. In the Fetch model, Autonomous Economic Agents (AEA) are utilized to connect IoT devices and algorithms, with the net result a form of collective super-intelligence built atop a decentralized economic internet. Got that?

Fetch recently set to work developing a decentralized metals exchange with several Turkish steelmakers. The new DEX will integrate AI-accelerated blockchain solutions to facilitate greater participation and improved liquidity in the trading of steel, base metals and other commodities. It’s yet another example of blockchain/AI tech feeding into traditional industries, and when you consider that Fetch’s goal is to bring smart cities from concept to reality – improving infrastructure like energy utility grids in the process – you can’t help but think 2020 is going to be a massive year for the crypto project.

RSK RSK is an open-source, Bitcoin-backed smart contract platform. Encompassing multiple components including the Root Infrastructure Framework Token (RIF Token), RIF Open Standard (RIFOS), and Smart Bitcoin (RBTC), the second-layer protocol seeks to become a key player in the development of Bitcoin-anchored decentralized finance, permitting smart contracts and dApps to utilize the ecosystem’s renowned security.

Its parent company, IOV Labs, also acquired Latin America’s biggest social media platform Taringa, and it’ll be fascinating to see what implementations are introduced in the next 12 months. With 30 million users, Taringa has a ready made community for experiencing the benefits of decentralized finance, including open access and trustless trade, wrapped in a user-friendly interface courtesy of RSK’s smart contract solution.

QAN The threat of quantum computing is certain to intensify in the years ahead. Hell, Google says they’ve already reached quantum supremacy in 2019. In any case, quantum-proof blockchain platform QAN stands in a good position to capitalize. It uses sophisticated Lattice cryptography to future-proof against quantum cyber attacks which could break existing blockchain platforms like Ethereum. The result is a highly scalable, developer-friendly platform that can run smart contracts in all major programming languages.

QAN uses a Proof-of-Randomness (PoR) consensus to ensure low energy consumption and is 100x quicker than Ethereum, with a TPS of 97k for enterprise (POA) chains. The team has been busy shouting about QAN’s many benefits at various crypto events throughout 2019, so expect more of the same in 2020. Particularly since QAN’s IEO is due to commence soon on BitBay exchange, bringing its token to a wider audience of traders and developers.

There you have it: four innovative projects making plenty of noise in the cryptosphere, and unlikely to lower their pitch in 2020. You’d do well to keep tabs on all of them.

VeChain Renaissance Overview: A Series of Major VeChainThor Upgrades Paving the Road to Blockchain Mass Adoption
BTC Bitcoin CORE Core ETH Ethereum VET VeChain VTHO VeThor
CoinGecko News
Original source text
In increasing numbers, real-world businesses and Web 2.0 services are adopting blockchain technologies, developing decentralized applications (dApps) and transitioning to Web 3.0. This technological shift offers significant advantages and brings value adding benefits, such as decentralization, tokenization, transparent incentivization models, fair governance, and more.

But do blockchains exist today that can overcome the current challenges blocking mass adoption — such as scalability, technical complexity, and the resulting user-unfriendly functionality?

In this overview, we’ll consider the VeChainThor layer-1 blockchain (the core of the VeChain ecosystem) and explore one of its most important upgrade series — VeChain Renaissance — which may play a crucial role in enabling real mass adoption.

VeChain History VeChain is a blockchain ecosystem that was co-founded in 2015 by Sunny Lu, who still serves as CEO. With an extensive professional history, including experience as CIO of Louis Vuitton China and in Bitcoin mining from 2013, he recognized the powerful potential of smart contracts and their ability to solve real-world economic and business challenges.

After two years operating as a private consortium chain, the VeChain Foundation was launched in 2017, and the core of the ecosystem — the VeChainThor blockchain — was launched in 2018, with its genesis block mined in June of that year. The blockchain was purpose-built with features that solved many of the contemporary challenges facing its client network, including tools that paid gas fees on behalf of business users, transaction batching to make hashing data more efficient, and eventually, ToolChain, an off-the shelf product designed to help businesses spin up dApps easily.

In the years that followed, the blockchain continued to innovate, launching new products including the VeWorld crypto wallet and VeChain’s ‘Web3 App Store’ VeBetter – an incentivized, community-driven platform that rewards actions around sustainability. Today, VeChain stands as a truly underrated leader in the Real-World Asset (RWA) space, with products that are tokenizing millions of user actions through various dApps, demonstrating real-world adoption of blockchain technology and its usage on a daily basis.

What is VeChainThor? VeChainThor is a layer-1 blockchain whose core mission is to enable practical, widespread global adoption of blockchain technology. One of the main strategies for achieving this goal currently centers on the VeBetter ecosystem, a key product that brings together various X-2-Earn dApps with real-world use applications that reward users for participation. Notably, two of these dApps have already surpassed 1 million users. dApps, in some way, tackle the UN’s SDGs, ranging from health to waste reduction, to sustainable transport. The goal is to build a lifestyle platform, where users can use VeBetter apps throughout the day, earning rewards for making the world better, in some way.

VeChainThor currently operates on the Proof of Authority (PoA) 2.0 consensus algorithm, which relies on a pre-selected set of trusted and reputable validators to process transaction blocks. As part of the VeChain Renaissance roadmap, VeChainThor’s consensus mechanism will be migrated to a WDPoS model, opening up the network and enhancing its decentralization and security, while creating a deflationary tokenomic model via modifications to the VET <> VTHO dynamic. 

This approach enables VeChainThor to achieve high throughput, with finality achieved after one epoch (180 blocks). Testing showed its capacity to handle up to 10,000 transactions per second, as well as high scalability. What also sets VeChainThor apart from most other blockchains is its uninterrupted operation. Since 2018, the network has maintained 100% uptime without any interruptions, which is critically important for real-world adoption and operation of large-scale dApps. 

VeChainThor also offers multiple important features that significantly improve onboarding and support broader adoption:

Controllable transaction lifecycle: With the BlockRef and Expiration fields within the transaction model, users can set the time when a transaction is processed or expired if it has not yet been included in a block, preventing user funds getting trapped in the memepool. Clauses (Multi-Task Transaction): Clauses are an additional data structure within the VeChainThor transaction model which enables a transaction to carry multiple payloads within a single transaction. This lets users batch hundreds of transactions in a single ‘master transaction’, increasing efficiency and saving costs.  Fee delegation: Allow users to use dApps and make transactions without owning any cryptocurrency. For example, you can simply install a wallet and start using a dApp right away — without needing to buy crypto, transfer it to your wallet, or deal with any extra steps. Transaction dependency: Set dependencies on a transaction to ensure the execution order meets the business need, transactions that specify a dependency will not be executed until the required transaction is processed. This can ensure either all transactions succeed, or none are executed, preventing important data loss.  VeChainThor Token Model VeChain uses a unique two-token model that involves two separate tokens, each with its own function. This system makes transaction fees predictable, adjustable, and less affected by market volatility, which is a crucial factor for applications. Let’s take a closer look at the VeChainThor tokens:

VET: The native utility token, used for governance (VET stakers can participate in voting on ecosystem changes), staking, value storage, generating VTHO (gas token) and accessing ecosystem services. VTHO: The gas token used to pay for transactions on the network. Currently, it is automatically generated for all VET holders, but after upcoming updates, it will be generated exclusively through VET staking. What is the VeChain Renaissance? The VeChain Renaissance is a series of major upgrades to the VeChainThor blockchain, scheduled throughout 2025 and rolled out in three key phases: Galactica, Hayabusa, and Interstellar. Each upgrade will be implemented through governance voting.

The Renaissance introduces several important innovations aimed at improving staking and increasing rewards through a new tokenomics and distribution model, a new staking platform, StarGate, enabling full EVM and JSON RPC compatibility, and boosting decentralization through an upgraded consensus algorithm. We’ll explore each of these upgrades in more detail, phase by phase, in chronological order.

Galactica Phase The first phase of the VeChain Renaissance is now live on mainnet as of July 1, 2025, following a testnet period, with all upgrades successfully merged with VeChainThor.

Dynamic Fee Market with 100% VTHO Burn With this upgrade, VeChainThor significantly enhances its security by introducing dynamic gas fees that adjust based on network load. This mechanism helps prevent spam attacks that could otherwise throttle the network — for example, by flooding it with thousands of meaningless microtransactions to delay or block the network’s continuous operation.

Additionally, a network adjustment has been introduced for the VTHO token, where 100% of the transaction fees are now burned (VTHO serves as the gas payment token). Moreover, users can speed up their transactions by paying additional fees to validators. This helps reduce the supply of VTHO tokens, creating a deflationary environment.

Typed Transactions With this upgrade, VeChainThor can seamlessly identify and process different types of transactions using a new standardized transaction format. This modular design lets the network grow and improve without disrupting current ecosystem operations. 

Shanghai EVM Upgrade Developers can now easily migrate various popular EVM toolkits and dApps to VeChainThor and benefit from unique features such as the two-token model, fee delegation and multi-clause transactions. This also supports VeChain’s broader goal of mass adoption, as the Ethereum ecosystem is one of the largest in the industry — with a vast number of developers and users.

Hayabusa Phase The second phase of the Hayabusa upgrade began rolling out on July 1st, with full mainnet integration planned by end Q4 2025. This phase includes several updates that are already delivering visible benefits for users.

StarGate: New Staking Platform StarGate is a staking platform launched on July 1st, featuring a unique NFT-based staking collateral mechanism. It serves as the native platform for users to stake VET (the utility token of VeChainThor) and mint an NFT in return. This NFT represents the staked VET collateral and acts as a delegation instrument. Simply put, holders can become delegators, participating in network operations and earning rewards in VTHO tokens.

Note: The validator delegation mechanism is not yet live and is planned for activation by the end of December 2025.

The staking system itself has also been enhanced and made more decentralized through the introduction of multiple new staking tiers. Depending on the selected tier, delegators receive a multiplier on their staking rewards:

Delegator VeThor X (600,000 VET): 2.0× staking rewards multiplier Delegator Strength X (1,600,000 VET): 3.0× multiplier Delegator Thunder X (5,600,000 VET): 4.0× multiplier Delegator Mjolnir X (15,600,000 VET): 5.0× multiplier Delegator Strength (1,000,000 VET): 1.5 multiplier, capped at 2,500 NFTs (max 2.5 billion VET staked) Delegator Thunder (5,000,000 VET): 2.5 multiplier, limited to 300 NFTs (max 1.5 billion VET) Delegator Mjolnir (15,000,000 VET): 3.5 multiplier, limited to 100 NFTs (max 1.5 billion VET) As introduced in the VeChain Renaissance, three new accessible tiers are now live, significantly lowering the barrier for beginner users to entry and expanding the potential delegator base:

Delegator Dawn Node (10,000 VET): 1.0 multiplier, capped at 500,000 nodes (max 5.0 billion VET) Delegator Lightning Node (50,000 VET): 1.15 multiplier, limited to 100,000 nodes (max 5.0 billion VET) Delegator Flash Node (200,000 VET): 1.3 multiplier, limited to 25,000 nodes (max 5.0 billion VET) In addition to its technical advantages, StarGate also aligns with important regulatory developments. This includes compliance with recent US rulings on Proof of Stake (PoS) networks and the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) regulation, a regulation rule designed to regulate crypto assets and protect investors. Achieving MiCAR compliance for both VET and VTHO strengthens VeChain’s legal standing and transparency. As a result, StarGate also serves as a platform for onboarding institutional participants, who may become validators on the network.

Early Bird Staking Program with 5.48 Billion VTHO in Rewards Alongside the standard staking rewards tied to network participation, VeChain launched a 6-month Early Bird Staking Program starting July 1st. During this period, a total of 5.48 billion VTHO (~$11 million+) will be distributed as additional rewards to early participants. No additional actions are needed to participate — a tier simply needs to be selected on StarGate, and a minimum of 10,000 VET staked. 

Core Tokenomics Upgrades Under the VeChain Renaissance, some major changes are coming to VeChain’s tokenomic model. The native VeChain token, VET, retains its utilities, with one key change: VET tokens staked as Economic/X Nodes can now be used as collateral to mint new “Delegator” Staking NFTs. These NFTs can then be delegated to Validator Nodes to earn a share of block rewards.

The biggest upcoming changes will affect the VTHO token. Once the Hayabusa stage of VeChain Renaissance merges with mainnet, VTHO, currently generated automatically by all VET tokens, will only be created by VET tokens being staked, with VTHO issuance linked to the total amount of VET staked.This will significantly reduce inflation of VTHO, which, alongside increased consumption via the gas fee market, and 100% base fee burning, help to support the VeChain ecosystem’s long-term value through deflationary tokenomics.

Consensus Mechanism Updates: Weighted Delegated Proof of Stake (WDPoS)  VeChainThor currently operates on the Proof of Authority 2.0 (PoA 2.0) consensus mechanism, which has proven highly effective—maintaining 100% uptime since its launch in 2018 with no network interruptions. However, further enhancements are planned. The network is in the process of transitioning to a Weighted Delegated Proof of Stake (WDPoS) model, which will be fully activated after the Hayabusa phase is merged into mainnet. This transition aims to significantly increase the level of decentralization within the blockchain, as it enables VET stakers to delegate NFTs that represent staked VET as collateral, allowing broader participation in validator selection and overall network governance.

Interstellar Phase Interstellar is the final, third phase in the series of major Renaissance upgrades for VeChainThor, targeted for the last quarter of 2025.

Full Compatibility With The Ethereum Ecosystem The update will add full JSON-RPC support and complete EVM compatibility, enabling VeChainThor to work seamlessly with all Ethereum tools and infrastructure. This will open the door for thousands of developers to build on and migrate dApps to VeChainThor, fostering strong cross-chain communication with other EVM-compatible blockchains and protocols. 

Importantly, this can attract a large number of users from across the crypto industry and position VeChainThor to achieve its ambitious goal of reaching billions of users. To do so, effective communication and interoperability with multiple ecosystems and chains is essential.

Conclusion: The VeChain Renaissance Impact on the VeChain Ecosystem and Its Influence on RWAs and Web3 VeChainThor has been a significant player in the blockchain space since 2018, evolving into a robust ecosystem where some dApps attract millions of users. Now, in 2025, it is undergoing a series of major Renaissance upgrades that substantially enhance both the network’s technical capabilities and its economic model, introducing numerous features designed to attract a broad user base and transform Web 2 services from various industries into Web3 applications. 

VeChain’s advancements and adoption through its VeBetter platform also position it to have a meaningful influence on Real-World Assets (RWAs) and the broader Web3 landscape, bridging traditional industries with decentralized technologies while adhering to all necessary standards, bolstered by the VeChain Renaissance upgrades. This approach significantly strengthens VeChain as one of the leading blockchain ecosystems capable of driving mass adoption.

Crypto Market Wrap: Is a Red Monday About to Intensify?
BSV Bitcoin SV BTC Bitcoin EOS EOS ETC Ethereum Classic ETH Ethereum XIN Mixin XRP Ripple
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Crypto market consolidation continues Monday; XRP, BSV and ATOM still climbing, EOS and Tron falling back. Market Wrap The weekend has seen gains on crypto markets as another correction gets quashed. Friday’s big $25 billion dump did not extend into the weekend and things started to recover pretty quickly. Total market capitalization climbed above $270 billion again and the longer term uptrend is still going strong.

Bitcoin reached an intraday high late Sunday when it made it just above $8,800. Since then BTC retreated to $8,700 where it has spent most of the past day. A fall back to $8,600 has left it level on the day as the prospects of further losses mount.

Ethereum has remained flat on the day with virtually no movement. ETH is just under $270 at the time of writing and is likely to mimic whatever Bitcoin does in the next few hours, a move back to support at $250 is looking more likely.

There are only a couple of altcoins moving in the top ten at the time of writing. XRP has lifted itself up 4 percent or so to reach $0.448 and Bitcoin SV appears to be having another manipulated pump as it surges 17 percent. BSV is currently at $218 but considering how it got there leaves little confidence in this one.  Not a lot is going on with the rest of them aside from EOS which has dumped 5 percent failing to get any fomo from the weekend B1 event.

The top twenty also only has a couple of coins on the move. Cosmos is one of them as ATOM gets an 11 percent spike and Ethereum Classic is the other as it makes around 4 percent. Tron is following EOS and losing 5 percent but the rest are pretty flat on the day.

FOMO: Metaverse ETP Spikes Today’s dose of fomo is going to ETP which has jumped 18 percent in the past few hours. Most of the trade is going on at RightBTC and there doesn’t appear to be much driving it. BSV as mentioned is getting pumped again and Maximine Coin is back up there with another 15 percent spike.

There are no big dumps going on at the moment as markets remain in consolidation mode. Those at the bottom of the performance pile for the top one hundred include Aion and Mixin dropping 7-8 percent each.

Total crypto market capitalization 24 hours. Coinmarketcap.com Total crypto market capitalization is currently at $272 billion which is back to where it was this time yesterday. Aside from Friday’s up and down, crypto markets have been pretty sideways all week and are where they were again last Monday. A Bitcoin correction could be imminent as red starts to seep in to the markets on Monday.

A hacker address implicated in the exploit of Mixin network is back to life after two years of inactivity. As flagged by Lookonchain, the hacker’s wallet address appears to be selling the siphoned funds with the aid of popular crypto mixer Tornado Cash.

Ethereum sell-off initiated by Mixin hackerPer the insight from Lookonchain, in the past 15 hours, the hacker has sent 2,005 Ethereum, valued at $3,850,000, to Tornado Cash. This marked the start of other transactions, as three new wallets also received 2,087 ETH.

These fragmented ETH have a value of $4.03 million, and through Tornado Cash, they were sold at a market price of $1,933. As of writing time, the price of Ethereum was changing hands for $1,971.30, implying that the hacker sold at a loss with differences in valuation.

As with many scam alert trends, attackers often lie low after their exploit to stall investigations into their nefarious acts. Mixin network was exploited in 2023, with the hacker siphoning 57,849 Ethereum worth $113.4 million.

At the time, the exploit also led to the loss of 891 BTC, worth $59.7 million, and 23.57 million USDT, which was converted into DAI stablecoin.

More selling pressure for ETHThe market sentiment around Ethereum is growing more negative as different sell-off avenues have emerged in the past 24 hours.

U.Today previously noted that BlackRock moved millions in Ethereum to Coinbase, extending its dump of the largest altcoin. With less observable Ethereum retail accumulation to shift the trend, the price of ETH is poised to remain in a deep drawdown in the coming weeks.

While Bitmine is helping to cushion the sell-off with purchases and staking of the Ethereum in its treasury, the net sell-off needs to reverse for an ultimate price rebound. As of writing time, the coin was priced at $1,970, down 1.3% in the past 24 hours, per CoinMarketCap data.

Mixin Hacker Resurfaces After 2 Years, Moves to Launder 2,005 Ethereum
BTC Bitcoin ETH Ethereum TORN Tornado Cash XIN Mixin
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The Mixin hacker has resurfaced after two years of dormancy, now making efforts to launder parts of the 59,000 Ethereum stolen from the exploit.

The Mixin network exploiter, who drained about $200 million worth of Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and other crypto assets from the Hong Kong-based network, appears to have begun laundering the ETH assets, recently transferring 2,005 ETH tokens to Tornado Cash.

Interestingly, the latest transaction originated from the original exploiter address after two years of dormancy and has reduced its Ethereum stash to 57,802 tokens worth $113.58 million at press time. 

Key Points The Mixin network hacker has resurfaced after two years of dormancy, with early efforts to launder the Ethereum tokens stolen from the exploit. In the latest transaction, the original exploiter address moved 2,005 ETH worth nearly $4 million to crypto mixer Tornado Cash. Following the transaction, the hacker now holds 57,802 ETH valued at $133.58 million and 891 BTC worth nearly $60 million. The Mixin network hack was a high-profile exploit that drained $200 million worth of crypto assets from the Hong Kong-based P2P network. Details of the Recent Transactions The recent transactions were indexed by Lookonchain, a leading blockchain surveillance platform, today. On-chain data confirms that the asset movements began yesterday at 09:22 PM UTC, involving the transfer of exactly 2,005 ETH worth $3.996 million to an unidentified wallet, 0x9…87f.

Note that #MixinHacker, who previously stole $200M, appears to be selling 59,854 $ETH($117M) after 2 years of inactivity!

15 hours ago, he sent 2,005 $ETH($3.85M) to #TornadoCash.

Soon after, 3 new wallets received 2,087 $ETH ($4.03M) from #TornadoCash and sold it at $1,933.… pic.twitter.com/8ujC2Berfz

— Lookonchain (@lookonchain) February 13, 2026

Interestingly, the wallet is relatively new, with the 2,005 ETH transfer being its first transaction. Barely a minute after receiving the tokens, 0x9…87f started moving the tokens to Tornado Cash in batches of 100 ETH transactions each. The address made 20 of these transfers to Tornado Cash, totaling 2,000 ETH. Currently, it has retained 5 ETH tokens. 

Meanwhile, Lookonchain found that, shortly after the transfers to Tornado Cash, three new wallets purportedly connected to the Mixin hacker emerged and received a total of 2,087 ETH tokens from Tornado Cash across multiple transactions of about 99 ETH each. The wallets sold all the tokens for $4 million in DAI.

At press time, the Mixin network hacker still holds 57,802 ETH tokens worth $133.58 million. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin address recorded no new movements during this time, remaining dormant since receiving 891 BTC during the September 2023 exploit.

The Mixin Hack For the uninitiated, the Mixin Network hack ranks among the largest crypto thefts of 2023. The breach targeted the Hong Kong-based peer-to-peer digital asset platform. On Sept. 23, 2023, attackers infiltrated the database of Mixin’s cloud service provider, compromising the network’s mainnet hot wallets.

Mixin confirmed the incident two days later, stating that the attack led to losses initially estimated at about $200 million. The platform immediately suspended deposit and withdrawal services while keeping peer-to-peer transfers active. 

How the Hack Occurred Notably, the attackers exploited a centralized cloud database that handled user accounts, session management, and hot wallet access. Although Mixin used a custom kernel with a directed acyclic graph structure for cross-chain transfers, the reliance on centralized infrastructure created a single point of failure. 

After breaching the database, the hackers gained access to hot wallet controls and executed thousands of transactions to extract the funds.

On Ethereum, the attackers drained 59,808 ETH through more than 10,000 transactions across over 11,400 wallets. They also transferred 891 BTC in three transactions from 127 wallets. In addition, they removed 23.57 million USDT and quickly swapped it for DAI on decentralized exchanges. 

Total tracked losses reached roughly $144.1 million, with other assets bringing Mixin’s internal estimate closer to $200 million. Investigators linked portions of the funds to wallets previously associated with the Lazarus Group. Notably, the ETH and BTC assets remained dormant until the recent 2,005 ETH transfer.

$3.85 Million in Ethereum From Mixin Network Hack Sent to Tornado Cash
ETH Ethereum TORN Tornado Cash XIN Mixin
CoinGecko News
Original source text
In brief A hacker wallet dormant since 2023 moved $3.85M in Ethereum from the Mixin exploit to Tornado Cash on Thursday. The Mixin exploit, which took place in September 2023, drained roughly $200M across multiple blockchains. Mixin plans a full repayment of $23M in MDTu tokens by September 2026. A wallet linked to the 2023 Mixin hack, which resulted in the loss of $200 million, has moved $3.85 million into a new wallet that then immediately sent the funds to coin mixer Tornado Cash.

The first transaction in two years took place late Thursday night, as the Mixin Hacker wallet—which has been tagged by blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence—moved $3.85 million worth of Ethereum to an unknown wallet 0x9c. That wallet then immediately sent all of the funds to Tornado Cash in 20 separate transactions.

The Mixin exploit dates back to September 2023, when Hong Kong-based crypto platform Mixin Network suspended deposits and withdrawals after hackers drained roughly $200 million from its cloud service provider’s database.

The breach affected assets across multiple chains, making it one of the larger cross-chain infrastructure hacks of the year. Mixin later said it would compensate users up to 50% of their losses in stablecoins, with the remainder issued as tokenized claims.

The Mixin team said on X at the time that it had contacted Google and blockchain security firm SlowMist to help with the investigation.

The attacker-controlled wallet had remained largely dormant for nearly two years before moving $3.8 million on February 12, 2026.

In October 2025, the Mixin Network provided an update on its repayment of users who were impacted by the exploit.

"Following the incident, Mixin Network initiated a debt registration and repayment process, and issued the Mixin Debt Token (MDT) series, including MDTu, MDTb, and MDTe, each representing claims for different categories of affected assets," the team wrote in its blog post.

The team said it intends to fully repay debt represented by MDTu, worth approximately $23 million, but September 23, 2026, but that there's currently no repayment schedule for MDTb and MDTe.

Mixin did not shut down after the exploit. It still claims to have more than $1 billion worth of assets under management and more than 1 million customers. The team manages a crypto wallet, custody services, and trading infrastructure.

Uniswap Dominates Ethereum, Base, & Arbitrum
ARB Arbitrum ETH Ethereum UNI Uniswap
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Uniswap Tightens Its Grip on Ethereum and Layer 2@Uniswap remains the dominant liquidity venue in decentralized finance, capturing 67.3% of total DEX volume on Ethereum this week. That concentration is not new, but it is deepening. Data from KuCoin's Ethereum Q1 2026 review shows Uniswap accounted for approximately $85.5 billion in Q1 volume, representing roughly two-thirds of the entire Ethereum DEX ecosystem.

The protocol's reach extends well beyond mainnet. @Uniswap controls 84.6% of DEX market share on Arbitrum and 46.6% on Base, cementing its position across the two most active Layer 2 networks. Uniswap remains the largest spot DEX by every meaningful measure, clearing roughly $73 billion in 30-day volume across Ethereum mainnet and 39 other chains.

Uniswap V4 went live in early 2026, introducing a hooks system that attaches custom logic to pools at swap, deposit, or withdrawal time, enabling features such as on-chain limit orders, dynamic volatility-responsive fees, and gated pools for institutional flows.

$UNI Earns a New Look From Institutional AnalystsThe volume story is only part of what is drawing attention to $UNI in 2026. A structural shift in the token's economics has changed how analysts frame it. With the fee switch now active, UNI can be viewed through a cash-flow lens rather than only as a governance token. The UNIfication proposal passed in late December 2025 fundamentally changed Uniswap's economics: for the first time, protocol revenue is directly captured by the system and used to buy and burn $UNI, aligning token value with actual network usage.

That shift has caught the attention of major financial institutions. Standard Chartered's digital asset research head, Geoff Kendrick, initiated coverage on Uniswap with a long-term price target of $100 for $UNI by 2030, with the bank's thesis centered on the exponential growth of tokenized real-world assets, projected to surge from roughly $340 billion to $4 trillion by 2028. Standard Chartered projects a $UNI price target of $6.50 in 2026, citing Uniswap's position as a dominant DEX to capture fees from tokenized real-world assets.

Institutional involvement is moving beyond price targets. In February 2026, BlackRock made shares of its tokenized US Treasury fund, BUIDL, tradable through UniswapX with Securitize, marking the world's largest asset manager's first step into DeFi. More recently, Fidelity deployed liquidity for its stablecoin, FIDD, on Uniswap. Separately, Bitwise Asset Management filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC for a spot Uniswap ETF in February 2026, following the earlier creation of a Delaware statutory trust named the Bitwise Uniswap ETF.

Whether that institutional momentum translates into sustained price performance remains an open question. Competition from Solana-based DEXs and other venues is real, and analysts are increasingly evaluating $UNI through the lens of fee capture potential, protocol governance value, and network effects within liquidity provisioning ecosystems, rather than speculative narrative alone.

XRP Ledger Attracts $1.7B in RWA Capital as Ethereum Declines
ARB Arbitrum ETH Ethereum SOL Solana XRP Ripple
CoinGecko News
Original source text
TLDR XRP Ledger recorded $1.7 billion in net RWA inflows over the past 60 days. Ethereum led network outflows with $5.8 billion, leaving its RWA ecosystem. Arbitrum, Solana, and Polygon also posted net RWA outflows during the period. XRPL ranked among the few major networks reporting positive RWA capital flows. Stablecoin transfer volume on XRPL reached $5.11 billion, up 22.84% month-over-month. The XRP Ledger continued attracting capital into tokenized real-world assets while several blockchain networks recorded large outflows. Recent data from RWA.xyz showed the network posted $1.7 billion in net RWA inflows during the past 60 days. At the same time, competing chains reported declining asset flows across their tokenization ecosystems.

XRP Ledger Leads RWA Capital Growth RWA.xyz data showed the XRP Ledger gained $1.7 billion in net RWA inflows during the last 60 days. Meanwhile, several major blockchain networks recorded net outflows during the same period.

Ethereum posted the largest decline as $5.8 billion left the network. Arbitrum followed with $3.0 billion in outflows, while Solana lost $653 million and Polygon lost $250 million.

The figures placed the XRP Ledger among a small group of networks reporting positive capital movement. TRON and HyperEVM also recorded net inflows during the measured period.

Earlier data from the RWA Foundation reflected similar results across a longer timeframe. The organization reported that XRPL attracted $1.9 billion in net RWA inflows over 90 days.

That performance placed XRPL ahead of Ethereum, which recorded $1.6 billion in inflows. Stellar followed with $1.4 billion, while BNB Chain recorded $848 million.

Solana attracted $611 million during the same period. Avalanche posted $362 million, while Sei Network and Mantle recorded $202 million and $90 million.

The latest figures showed continued growth within XRPL’s tokenization ecosystem. They also reflected ongoing asset migration into the network’s RWA infrastructure.

Stablecoin Transfers and Treasury Assets Expand on XRPL Stablecoin activity on XRPL increased alongside rising RWA participation. According to RWA.xyz, stablecoin transfer volume reached $5.11 billion during the past 30 days.

The platform reported a 22.84% increase compared with the previous month. As a result, transaction activity continued to rise across the network’s stablecoin ecosystem.

Tokenized Treasury products also gained traction on XRPL during the same period. The Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund ranked as the second-largest tokenized asset on the network.

RWA.xyz reported approximately $259.6 million in transfers linked to the fund. Those transfers highlighted the growing use of tokenized government bond products.

Current data show XRPL holds about $3.56 billion in off-chain real-world assets. Those assets represent a large pool connected to the broader tokenization ecosystem.

Tokenized Asset Value Continues Rising XRPL expanded its tokenized asset base rapidly during the past fifteen months. The network’s tokenized RWA value increased from roughly $10 million in January 2025.

By April 2026, tokenized RWA value reached about $400 million. The increase occurred within approximately fifteen months of growth.

Ethereum required nearly 36 months to reach a comparable level. Meanwhile, XRPL’s tokenized RWA value climbed 78% during 2026.

The value increased from $227 million to $404 million year-to-date. During the same period, Ethereum recorded growth of 36%.

RWA.xyz data showed the latest inflow figures reached $1.7 billion over 60 days. Those figures represent the most recent reported activity across the XRP Ledger’s RWA market.

ARB Arbitrum ETH Ethereum
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Boxing legend Mike Tyson dropped a video advertisement on Monday endorsing Rain Trade, a cryptocurrency-based prediction market platform.

‘Anything Can Become A Prediction Market’The video captures Tyson inside a soccer stadium, reenacting over-the-top celebrations that players perform after scoring a goal.

The advertisement echoed the FIFA World Cup vibe, showing how Rain offers unique bets, including the longest goal celebrations.

“I used to think there are winners and losers and those are the categories people trade on. I realized anything can become a prediction market with a little bit of creativity,” Tyson said.

The former heavyweight champion called Rain an “innovative app” and said that he enjoyed filming the advertisement.

Rain Trade is a decentralized prediction market protocol that runs on Arbitrum (CRYPTO: ARB), an Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) Layer 2 solution.

In addition to forecasting real-world events, the application also lets users create permissionless markets of their own.

Tyson: An Early Crypto Adopter Tyson has a notable history of promoting fintech companies, particularly those related to cryptocurrency and Web3.

In 2024, he became the brand ambassador for NAGA, a social trading and fintech platform that offers trading, copy trading, crypto, investing, and payments in one app.

Chainlink (LINK) On A Target To $3.50 USD As Flight Insurance Company Integrates The Blockchain
DIP Etherisc ETH Ethereum FNSA FINSCHIA
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Etherisc, a decentralized insurance platform, integrates Chainlink oracles “for decentralized flight insurance products.” The project aims at minimizing trust on a peer to peer platform to reduce information asymmetry in flight insurance. Can LINK breach the $3.50 key resistance level in coming weeks? An official report released by Etherisc, a blockchain based platform on flight insurance, confirms the integration of Chainlink oracles to improve on inefficiencies in the decentralized flight insurance industry. The addition of Chainlink oracles to Etherisc is set to narrow the information asymmetry in the fight insurance industry, digitize the claiming processes and reduce disagreements between the insurance companies and claimants.

Etherisc leverages Chainlink oracles In a world crippled with information asymmetry, increased costs from manual verification, extensive processing time and cost of claims, and a general distrust between issuers and policyholders, blockchain technology provides cheaper solutions in the flight insurance industry.

“Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that gives smart contracts secure and reliable access to data providers, web APIs, enterprise systems, cloud providers, IoT devices, payment systems, other blockchains and much more.”

The blockchain also allows other platforms to customize their smart contract to retrieve data from “off chain oracles” in different levels of decentralization. This is where Etherisc benefits from Chainlink.

Together with @etherisc, we're proud to announce we have a working decentralized flight insurance POC live on Ethereum testnet. The design incorporates reliable flight status data (delayed or on-time) delivered by Chainlink's decentralized oracle network. https://t.co/saU3smevkn

— Chainlink (@chainlink) February 6, 2020

The Proof of Concept (PoC) system According to the report, Chainlink nodes will be used in a proof of concept (POC) system to fetch data from various trusted web APIs for flight status data. An illustration is embedded in the tweet below.

The report further states,

“In our POC, multiple Chainlink oracles retrieve data about whether or not the flight was delayed using an external adapter for the Flightstats API.”

https://twitter.com/GreenSockMonkey/status/1225479851538337800

Using the Chainlink oracle system allows the policyholders to be sure of quick access to flight insurance and with certain pre-conditions met, will receive their claims on the spot. Furthermore, insurance companies are able to reduce costs by using decentralized systems, which digitizes the manual claiming process hence reducing the workforce needed to file claims.

Chainlink targets $3.50 amidst rapid adoption The rapid adoption of Chainlink (LINK) over the past year or so set the project on a magnificent uptrend that saw the crypto breach the $4 dollar mark to set an all-time high in July 2019. So far, the coin has gained over 60% in 2020 alone, to trade at $3.001 USD, as at time of writing.

With Etherisc the latest partner to integrate the blockchain, oracle based platforms such as Chainlink shows much promise in connecting decentralized systems to the real world. As LINK gains utility from traditional-based industries, the token may well be in contention for a further 20% increase to $3.50 USD in the coming days.

Chainlink soars 11% with promise of fairer flight insurance
BTC Bitcoin DIP Etherisc ETH Ethereum FNSA FINSCHIA
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Flight insurance is getting properly decentralized. 

Etherisc, a market-leading blockchain platform offering flight insurance, announced on Thursday that Chainlink oracles will now further decentralize its processes, improving the manifold inefficiencies in decentralized insurance. The price of Chainlink’s token, LINK, rose 11% on the news.

The announcement also marks the first integration of Chainlink’s technology into a non-fintech application.

The steep costs and time-intensive manual processing necessary to verify insurance claims make flight insurance a perfect use case for blockchain technology. Decentralization could help to ease the distrust between issuers and policyholders caused by the industry’s lack of transparency, delays and inefficiencies.

Together with @etherisc, we're proud to announce we have a working decentralized flight insurance POC live on Ethereum testnet. The design incorporates reliable flight status data (delayed or on-time) delivered by Chainlink's decentralized oracle network. https://t.co/saU3smevkn

— Chainlink - Official Channel (@chainlink) February 6, 2020

The new integration means that reliable flight status data—delayed or on-time—will be delivered by Chainlink's oracle network. Using smart contracts to digitize claims and payout processes also reduces potential disagreements between insurance companies and claimants. 

Decentralized flight insurance: a Proof of Concept“Insurance companies stand to save money on the backend by cutting their overheard for processing claims, as well as improved brand recognition thanks to moving policy arbitration to a neutral third party protocol,” Etherisc stated in its blog post announcing the PoC.

Decentralized oracles allow a smart contract to interact with the off-chain data it needs in order to execute. In the case of flight insurance, secure and reliable flight status data is needed to trigger a payout. 

The new Proof of Concept (PoC) ensures that this data delivery is more secure, reliable and completely decentralized, enabling flight insurance policies to be programmed to automatically, fairly and efficiently process claims. 

As well as flight insurance, Etherisc offers hurricane protection and crop insurance; crypto wallet insurance, and collateral protection from loans. By further decentralising its product to incorporate Chainlink’s decentralized oracle feed, it provides a new way forward for a much maligned industry.

LINK up over 11%The new integration went down well with Chainlink token holders too, and saw LINK trading at $3.23, and now ranked as the 16th largest cryptocurrency. 

The decentralized oracle provider managed to outperform the entire altcoin market in 2019, and even outpaced Bitcoin on occasions. Many investors are confident that 2020 will bring further gains.

Speaking to Decrypt last month, Chainlink CEO, Sergey Nazarov highlighted the insurance market as one where the startup was seeing an influx of new users. But he added that, while it’s a highly lucrative industry, insurance is not the most straightforward application that Chainlink is targeting. 

“Insurance is slowest—a very complex industry with a lot of moving parts and a lot of regulation,” said Nazarov.

But the oracle provider is not neglecting its fintech clientele. Last month it published new price reference feeds for off-chain price data, bringing the total number up to 25. As well as catering to the rapidly growing number of developers building DeFi applications on Ethereum, Chainlink is racing to incorporate its technology in more applications throughout the coming year.

Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Could Double While Cardano (ADA) and This Newcomer Token Near 500% Rally
ADA Cardano ETH Ethereum PEPE Pepe RLY Rally
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The crypto market is exhibiting some signs of fresh impetus as investors gear up for the next major bull cycle. Despite large-cap cryptos continuing to occupy a significant portion of many portfolios, there is a trend toward investing in projects that offer higher percentage returns.

One of the top smart contract platforms is Ethereum (ETH), while Cardano (ADA) represents one of the biggest layer 1 blockchain projects. In addition, a new startup,Little Pepe (LILPEPE), has begun gaining momentum among the community who want to join early, before the trend takes off.

Ethereum (ETH) Could See a Strong 2x Move ETH price is at $2,014.7, and 24h volume is $8.1B. Should the market be bullish in 2026, there could be estimates that the price of Ethereum would again climb above $4,000.

If it goes from $2,000 to $4,000 there is a 2x price increase. That’s a really strong return on investment, considering that Ethereum’s market valuation is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. These are just some of the main reasons why people hold ETH as their long-term investment.

Cardano (ADA) Can Recover a Little ADA is trading at about $0.2329 at the time of writing and is a choice among investors who believe the network’s focus on scalability, research-based development, and long-term sustainability will be a foundation for future growth.

Cardano is favoured by many investors who believe it could deliver higher gains than other cryptocurrencies if the market turns bullish again and network activity improves. But some traders are looking further down the market-cap ladder for enterprises with greater upside potential.

LILPEPE (Little Pepe): New Kid on the Block Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is a project gaining significant traction. It is a Layer 2 Ethereum-compatible environment and is currently valued at $0.0022 at Stage 13 of its presale. The initiative has already raked in over $28.19 million, selling over 16.9 billion tokens. Stage 13 is already roughly 98% sold, with the next pricing round up to $0.0023. Little Pepe is building a Layer 2 blockchain for meme communities, a move that sets it apart from numerous meme coins that depend only on social media hype. The project seeks to lower transaction costs, increase transaction speed, and create an ecosystem of meme-centric apps.

This duality of value and community building sets the project apart from the average meme token.

Why Some Investors Are Calling 500% Move If Little Pepe were to gain 500% from the current price of $0.0022 at Stage 13, we would be looking at a price of roughly $0.0132. The results, though hypothetical, have backers saying there are several reasons the initiative remains interesting.

The presale demand is strong with many stage price increases. The project is also building ecosystem features, including staking opportunities, a specific meme launchpad, and DAO governance. And one of Little Pepe’s biggest strengths is its growing community. The presale has seen tremendous participation throughout the current $777,000 giveaway campaign and the Mega Giveaway, offering nearly 15 ETH in incentives.

Many investors believe that new enterprises launched at lower prices have greater growth potential than existing cryptocurrencies. Future returns are never guaranteed, but proponents think the fast-selling presale, Layer 2 infrastructure, and increased community participation could help drive further adoption following launch.

Conclusion Ethereum is still one of the better long-term investments in the crypto blockchain sector, and there’s a chance it doubles if the market stays in a healthy spot. There is still upside potential for Cardano as investors seek solid layer-1 projects with scope to grow.

Meanwhile, one of the most anticipated tokens for the new visitors is Little Pepe (LILPEPE). The project is attracting investors seeking future growth potential, as it offers a robust Layer 2 environment for meme communities. As the crypto industry prepares for what many expect to be a stronger 2026, investors will no doubt be watching projects like Ethereum, Cardano, and Little Pepe closely.

Ethereum holder identifies undervalued token that could explode like ETH once did
ETH Ethereum PEPE Pepe
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice. The content and materials featured on this page are for educational purposes only.

Interest in Little Pepe has increased during its presale stage as market participants track early activity and upcoming launch expectations.

Summary

Ethereum whale reportedly invests $500K into LILPEPE presale, drawing attention to rising meme coin activity. LILPEPE presale continues at $0.0022 with Layer 2 meme utility, audits, and planned Tier-1 exchange listings. Analysts note growing whale interest in LILPEPE as presale momentum builds ahead of expected major listing phase. When a wallet that holds millions of dollars in ETH quietly drops $500,000 into a memecoin presale, people pay attention. That’s exactly what happened with Little Pepe (LILPEPE), a Layer 2 meme project that, right now, is flying under the radar of most mainstream crypto outlets. But not the whales. Never the whales. 

With LILPEPE still priced at just $0.0022 in Stage 13 of its presale and a confirmed launch price of $0.0030 already baked in, the project offers a built-in 36% gain for anyone still holding a presale ticket.  And for those who got in at Stage 1, they’re already up 120%. The real question is how much further this can go, and judging by recent whale behavior, some very sophisticated money thinks the answer is: a lot further.

The whale move that turned heads It’s no secret that Ethereum whales don’t throw $500k at just anything. These are wallets that have seen ETH go from cents to nearly $5,000. They’ve lived through multiple cycles. So when one of the top ETH holders identified LILPEPE as an undervalued asset and set a public exit target of $0.26, that’s not noise. 

That’s a signal worth dissecting. That is, a move from 0.0022 to 0.26 would mean a gain of over 11,718% from the existing pre-sale price. Are they Overambitious? Certainly, but let us not forget that Ethereum gave its early supporters gains. Remember when the ETH ICO was launched at $0.31? They were also considered a risky investment back then. Conversely, Ethereum is trading in the $1,566-$1,663 range. Although it is the second-largest cryptocurrency, its price has fallen from around $5,000 to its current level in August 2025. The individuals who have become rich from Ethereum have found themselves in an asymmetric risk situation with respect to LILPEPE.

What is LILPEPE, and why does it actually have substance? The project is developing its own meme launchpad dubbed Pepe’s Pump Pad, where anyone can launch tokens directly on the Little Pepe Chain. Every transaction requires LILPEPE as the gas token. 

If the chain gains traction, this creates the same kind of sustained demand that ETH gets from Ethereum activity or BNB from Binance Smart Chain. It’s not just hype. There’s a utility thesis here. The team isn’t flying blind either. Multiple anonymous experts who’ve helped some of the top meme coins reach significant valuations are backing and advising this project.  The presale runs 19 stages in total. The price moved 10% from $0.0021 to $0.0022 between stages, and each stage has sold faster than the one before. 

Credibility that sets it apart A lot of meme projects at this stage of a presale are just slick websites and a Telegram group. Little Pepe has gone further. Not only has this project been listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. These two platforms conduct thorough diligence before listing any cryptocurrency, but they have also been audited by CertiK, earning an outstanding security score of 95.49%.  

On the exchange front, LILPEPE is confirmed to list on two top-tier CEXs at launch, and the team has made it clear they’re aiming for the biggest exchange in the world, with all plans reportedly sorted accordingly. When the Tier-1 listing event eventually hits, the price discovery will look nothing like the current presale levels.

Should someone be paying attention? Stage 13 is 98.63% filled at the time of writing. Upon selling out, the opportunity to buy at $0.0022 is lost. The following stage will be priced at $0.0023. The $500k whale position with a $0.26 exit target suggests the smart money is thinking in terms of years, not days. ETH didn’t make its early holders rich in a week. It did it over cycles. For anyone who’s been watching LILPEPE from the sidelines, it might be worth deciding before the decision gets made.

Pump.fun Goes Multichain, Opening the Door to Ethereum, BNB, and Other EVM Chains
BNB BNB ETH Ethereum MULTI Multichain PUMP Pump.fun
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Solana memecoin launchpad and one of Solana’s largest consumer crypto applications Pump.fun, has officially expanded beyond the Solana ecosystem. The platform now supports trading on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and other EVM-compatible networks.

The update represents one of the most significant strategic shifts in the platform’s history. Until now, Pump.fun operated primarily as a Solana-native memecoin launchpad and trading venue. Its rapid growth helped fuel Solana’s memecoin economy throughout 2024 and 2025. With the latest release, users can trade assets across multiple chains while continuing to use $SOL as their trading currency. Pump.fun says users will not need to bridge assets or hold native gas tokens for supported EVM networks.

In its announcement post, Pump.fun described the update as “frictionless multichain trading.”

The platform outlined several new features, including a single wallet that trades across multiple chains, no requirement for manual bridging, no need to hold native gas assets like $ETH or $BNB, sponsored gas fees, and automatic multichain wallet generation for users.

The application framed the expansion as an effort to simplify access to opportunities across multiple ecosystems while maintaining a unified user experience.

Shortly after the announcement, Pump.fun co-founder Alon commented on the launch. He described the expansion as “another step towards making the pump fun app the greatest place to trench on the go!”

Mixed Reaction from Community Community reaction to the announcement quickly spread across crypto social media. Some users responded positively, especially because the feature removes several common pain points associated with cross-chain trading. One trader wrote, “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but good update.”

Crypto analyst @jussy_world described the feature as “cool,” particularly because users can buy Ethereum-based memecoins using $SOL.

However, the analyst also expressed skepticism about the long-term business impact of multichain expansion. He argued that other crypto products that expanded beyond Solana still derived most of their revenue from Solana activity. Referencing Phantom Wallet as an example, he stated, “96% of all revenue still comes from Solana and only 4% other chains.”

Other users compared the update to the growing popularity of Fomo, a social trading platform focused on simplifying token discovery and cross-chain trading. Several reactions directly referenced that comparison. One social media user said, “Just like the $USDC option, this is 100% because of the FOMO app.”

Another post read: “pump fun is the new fomo app.”

The comparison reflects a broader trend in crypto product design. Applications increasingly compete on simplicity, social discovery, and ease of execution rather than purely on blockchain loyalty.

The comparisons to Fomo did not emerge randomly. Fomo has gained attention by making token trading across Solana, Base, and BNB Chain feel more like a social application than a traditional crypto interface. Users can follow traders, monitor purchases in real time, and buy trending assets quickly through simplified payment methods. The application aims to reduce many of crypto’s traditional barriers, including wallet setup complexity, bridging friction, and gas management.

Pump.fun’s latest update appears to move in a similar direction. By allowing users to trade across chains without manually bridging funds or acquiring native gas tokens, Pump.fun removes several technical steps that often discourage casual participants. The platform’s decision to sponsor gas fees further reinforces this shift toward abstraction and convenience.

A Debate Around Solana’s Long-Term Value While some traders welcomed the update, others questioned what the move means for Solana itself. Popular trader and analyst CryptoKaleo asked, “What is the primary bull case for Solana now with pump fun opening the doors to EVM chains & USDC?”

The question reflects a broader debate that has intensified in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Pump.fun announced plans to introduce $USDC pairings for newly launched tokens. Previously, the platform heavily relied on $SOL-based liquidity pools.

Critics of the new $USDC pairing model argued that shifting away from $SOL-based liquidity could weaken one of the ecosystem’s strongest structural demand drivers. The multichain expansion has now added another layer to that discussion. Some traders believe Pump.fun is increasingly positioning itself as a chain-agnostic trading platform rather than as a product deeply tied to Solana’s long-term success.

Others argue that the move could ultimately strengthen Solana by expanding the reach and influence of one of its largest applications. The debate eventually drew responses from larger industry figures. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko had previously pushed back against claims that Pump.fun’s optional $USDC pairings were “extremely bearish” for Solana. Responding to criticism on social media, Yakovenko argued that using $SOL as a currency is “generally net zero” because the asset is bought, spent, and eventually sold.

He also challenged the idea that liquidity pools permanently remove meaningful amounts of $SOL from circulation. He added that at scale, the denomination of liquidity matters less than the depth and activity of the ecosystem itself, whether liquidity is held in $USDC, $BTC, or $SOL

After users questioned Solana’s long-term value proposition, Zach Pandl, Grayscale’s Head of Research, replied, “Solana is the leading high-performance blockchain.”

That argument continues to represent one of Solana’s core narratives. Even as applications expand across chains, supporters maintain that Solana still offers advantages in transaction throughput, execution speed, and retail trading activity.

Plutus - a ground-breaking crypto app that aims to be better than your Bank.
BTC Bitcoin ETH Ethereum PLU Pluton
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Ishan Garg Posted On December 30, 2019

The crypto industry is going through one of the worst bear markets since the 2017 bull run. One of the reasons often cited for this is the non-existence of fiat on-ramps and the complicated user experience (UX) of most crypto products. Mass adoption has become the holy grail for developers.

Plutus is one of the players in the industry that has been silently working on solving these problems and taking crypto to the masses. They have been developing solutions that solve all the major pain points of a crypto user today. With the aim of becoming a bridge between the Fiat and Crypto markets, they have imbibed the best of both worlds.

Founded by an experienced team with over 40 years of combined experience behind them, Plutus has positioned itself to become one of the biggest crypto players in the market in 2020. Plutus allows members to manage, exchange, spend and earn assets; all under one intuitive application.

“In 2015, we were the first to announce our plans to bridge the gap between crypto and fiat in the real world. After much anticipation, we have now developed a technology that is better than a Bank.” Added Danial Daychopan, CEO and Founder of Plutus.

Instant Current AccountPlutus enables users to rapidly create an account with a sort code and account number, or a European IBAN depending on your location. Users just need to sign up on their website, an easy process compared to visiting a bank and completing all their formalities. This can be done from anywhere in the European Economic Area in under two minutes. Users can then deposit money into this account and spend as they wish.

Cryptocurrency WalletPlutus members can then attach their own cryptocurrency wallet to their account and manage their crypto assets from the same interface. This provides a non-custodial and convenient way of managing both crypto and fiat in one place.

Decentralized ExchangeThe application includes a built-in peer-to-peer exchange for converting cryptocurrencies and fiat. Plutus members can seamlessly convert between crypto and fiat pairs including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Pluton and fiat currencies like GBP or Euros.

Plutus Debit CardSpending cryptocurrencies has always been a challenge, however, by tying the exchange to a Visa debit card, members can make practical use of their cryptocurrencies. With the Plutus Debit Card, a member can convert their crypto tokens into fiat and spend it online or in physical shops. The Plutus Card is accepted at over 400 million merchants which helps to integrate crypto into everyday payments.

RewardsPlutus provides up to 3% of every purchase back as a reward in their own token, Pluton (PLU). Pluton is a loyalty token based on the Ethereum blockchain. The more you use the Plutus Card, the more rewards you receive – just like your frequent flier miles.

Secure Trading ExperiencePlutus provides an escrow service that temporarily holds the buyer’s fiat funds until the crypto transaction is completed, the funds are then transferred to the seller of crypto. For crypto transactions, being a decentralised platform means Plutus never takes custody of the tokens in the first place. This makes the entire platform secure from prying eyes and hackers.

Easy to use UXPlutus provides these facilities on desktop and a mobile app available on Apple and Android markets. Its clean and minimalistic user interface makes it appealing to new entrants in the crypto market while the powerful features attract the veterans.

Conclusion

Plutus provides a convenient way of managing both crypto and fiat in one user-friendly application. The built-in exchange allows users to conveniently convert their assets; and by linking this to a Visa debit card, members can spend their converted cryptocurrency anywhere in the world. These features help people integrate cryptocurrencies into everyday activities and the ease-of-use is especially attractive for those who don’t have the time to learn the ropes of the crypto industry.

Beefy Finance Deepdive: A DeFi Ecosystem
BIFI Beefy.Finance BNB BNB ETH Ethereum
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Beefy Finance launched on Binance Smart Chain on October 8, 2020, offering an innovative way to auto-compound yields from PancakeSwap pools. With its native $BIFI token supply capped at 80,000, Beefy quickly gained popularity among yield farmers. After Multichain's collapse in 2023, Beefy migrated to Ethereum, adapting its governance and reward systems. Now in 2025, the platform has expanded to operate across 22 different chains, with recent developments including the addition of memecoin vaults on BNB Chain and an ambitious SafeBoost campaign on Gnosis.

Beefy Finance was founded back in 2020 (Beefy website)BNB Chain and the Birth of Beefy FinanceBeefy Finance made its debut during a time when high Ethereum gas fees were forcing yield farmers to look for alternatives. The platform introduced specialized vaults that automatically compounded rewards from PancakeSwap liquidity pools, significantly improving efficiency for users.

The launch of Beefy's native $BIFI token was a key element of its success. With a hard cap of 80,000 tokens, the supply was distributed with 72,000 in circulation and 8,000 locked for the team until July 2022. This limited supply created scarcity while the token's utility provided real value - stakers received a share of profits generated by the platform's vaults and gained voting rights through the Beefy DAO.

In March 2021, Beefy received a significant boost when $BIFI was featured in a PancakeSwap Syrup Pool, expanding its user base and visibility in the DeFi space. The platform's popularity grew thanks to several advantages:

The low transaction costs on BNB Chain allowed for frequent compounding, maximizing yieldsBeefy's no-lockup policy gave users flexibility with their fundsThe protocol's transparent approach to risk management built trust with the communityDuring this early period, Beefy established itself as a leading yield optimizer on BNB Chain, setting the foundation for its future expansion across multiple networks.

The Ethereum Migration After Multichain's CollapseAs Beefy Finance grew, it began expanding beyond BNB Chain to other networks using Multichain as a bridge. This cross-chain strategy initially worked well.

However, the collapse of Multichain in 2023 created a crisis that forced Beefy to make a strategic pivot. By October 24, 2023, the platform completed the migration of $BIFI to Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, maintaining its 80,000 token supply cap. This move prioritized the security and stability of Ethereum over the lower fees of BNB Chain.

The migration introduced several important changes to Beefy's ecosystem:

The Universal Governance Pool contract (UGP) owned by the Beefy DAO became the new mechanism for controlling several aspects of the protocolStakers now earned rewards in $ETH rather than in $BIFIMooBIFI was introduced as a cross-chain token for Ethereum-staked $BIFIThis migration represented more than just a technical change - it signified Beefy's evolution into a new multichain platform with Ethereum as its new home base. Throughout this challenging transition, Beefy's DAO, powered by the 80,000 $BIFI tokens and their holders, guided the protocol toward stability across multiple blockchain environments.

2025's Strategic Initiatives and GrowthIn  2025, Beefy Finance continues demonstrating its ability to adapt and innovate in the DeFi space. The platform recently revitalized its presence on BNB Chain by adding popular high-yield BNB Chain memecoin vaults. Popular BNB Chain memecoin launchpad Fourmeme tokens, like Broccoli, Siren, and TST (Test) now have their own BNB Chain vaults and pools on Beefy.

2025 also saw the beginning of the SafeBoost campaign, a major six-month campaign on the Gnosis chain in partnership with Safe and Karpatkey. This initiative offers substantial $SAFE token incentives to attract liquidity to the Gnosis chain.

Beefy's recent developments showcased the platform's continued momentum with:

The introduction of Berachain's Zap functionality for direct token-to-vault swaps28 active Boost campaigns spread across its 22-chain ecosystem20+ new vault strategiesBeefy's Position in the DeFi EcosystemFrom its origins as a yield optimizer on BNB Chain, Beefy Finance has grown into a significant DeFi platform operating across 22 blockchains, demonstrating remarkable breadth in the DeFi ecosystem. Today, Ethereum serves as Beefy's primary hub, with the 80,000 $BIFI tokens powering a DAO that distributes profits and conducts voting through the DAO.

While Yearn Finance remains a notable competitor in the yield optimization space, Beefy's multichain approach provides a distinct advantage in reaching users across different networks. The platform's vaults continue to attract users despite the inherent risks in DeFi, with Beefy maintaining its commitment to security and transparency.

Key factors in Beefy's current market position include:

Its extensive presence across 22 blockchains allows for unmatched flexibility in responding to market conditionsThe limited supply of 80,000 $BIFI tokens creates value for holdersThe UGP and MooBIFI system effectively distributes rewards to stakeholdersContinued innovation with new vaults and features keeps the platform competitiveThe recent SafeBoost campaign and the implementation of Berachain's Zap functionality indicate Beefy's ongoing commitment to growth across multiple chains.

Beefy Finance's Annual TVL Trend (Beefy website)ConclusionSince its 2020 launch on BNB Chain, Beefy Finance has successfully navigated the evolving DeFi landscape by adapting to changing market conditions and user needs. The 2023 Multichain disruption catalyzed Beefy's migration to Ethereum, where it rebuilt its core systems while preserving its 80,000 token supply and community governance.

In 2025, Beefy continues to show its resilience and innovation through the SafeBoost campaign on Gnosis. Operating across 22 blockchains with Ethereum as its base, Beefy has established itself as one of the most extensive and mature yield optimization platforms in the DeFi space.

Beefy's journey demonstrates the importance of adaptability in DeFi. From its beginnings auto-compounding PancakeSwap yields to its current position as a yield optimizer spanning 22 blockchains, Beefy has consistently evolved to meet the needs of DeFi users across the entire ecosystem. As the ecosystem continues to develop, Beefy's combination of auto-compounding strategies, multichain presence, and community governance positions it for continued relevance in the yield optimization sector. Through all the changes in the DeFi landscape, Beefy Finance remains true to its mascot – a happy cow continuously grazing on yields across the blockchain pastures.

Whale With a History of Profitable Trades Goes Long on Ethereum-Based Casino Coin: On-Chain Data
ETH Ethereum RLB Rollbit Coin
CoinGecko News
Original source text
A deep-pocketed investor with a profitable trade history is once again taking a large long position on one casino-related digital asset, according to on-chain data.

Blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain says the “smart money” whale once again loaded up on crypto gambling platform Rollbit’s native token RLB at the start of September, after several profitable trades in the last couple of weeks.

[adinserter block="1"]

“A SmartMoney who was good at buying RLB at lows and selling at highs in August spent 1.25 million USDC to buy 7.1 million RLB again at $0.175 in September.”

Source: Lookonchain/X According to the firm, the entity has so far made $358,000 in profits trading RLB.

Past August trades include buying at $0.106 selling at $0.112, buying at $0.107 and selling at $0.145, and buying at $0.155 and selling at $0.172, according to Lookonchain.

Rollbit is trading for $0.17 at time of writing, up 5.2% in the last 24 hours.

Lookonchain also noticed a big purchase of Rocketpool (RPL), a liquid staking protocol that allows Ethereum holders to stake their coins without holding the 32 ETH normally required to become a validator.

After the massive purchase, the price of RPL bounced by more than 9%.

“Who pumps the price of RPL?

We noticed that a safe multisig wallet spent a total of 450 ETH ($735,000) to buy 32,820 RPL at $22.40 in the past eight hours.”

Source: Lookonchain/X Rocket Pool is worth $24.09 at time of writing, up 13.1% in the last 24 hours.

Lastly, the firm highlights one whale making big moves, and profits, by withdrawing crypto assets off of the world’s largest exchange Binance, including more than 11,000 Maker (MKR).

Maker is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that uses smart contracts to power stablecoin-based loans.

“A smart whale has withdrawn 11,231 MKR ($12.3 million) from Binance in the past four hours.

Since August 23, the whale has withdrawn a large amount of UNFI (Unifi Protocol DAO), LPT (Livepeer), and TRB (Tellor Tributes) from Binance.

And the profit has exceeded $4 million according to the current price.”

Maker is trading for $1,116 at time of writing, down 0.6% in the last 24 hours.

US Government Moves $768,000 Seized FTX Tokens, Sparks Chainlink Sell-Off Fears

CoinGecko News
Original source text
A wallet tied to US government seized FTX Chainlink holdings moved 98,590 Chainlink (LINK) tokens, worth about $768,000, to Coinbase Prime on Wednesday, reviving speculation over a potential sale.

Blockchain trackers flagged the deposit within minutes. However, on-chain data alone does not confirm that the tokens are headed for the open market.

US government wallet transferring seized FTX Chainlink (LINK) to Coinbase Prime, Source: ArkhamWhy the Seized FTX Chainlink Transfer MattersOn-chain tracker Lookonchain first reported the movement, and tracking account Solid Intel flagged the same deposit.

Arkham labels the sending address under its US government entity and has documented earlier movements from the same cluster.

The US Government just moved $800K of Alameda’s funds.

Many Alameda/FTX assets that were seized by the DOJ will be returned to FTX estate creditors and those who lost assets in FTX’s collapse.

The funds originate from assets confiscated after FTX and Alameda Research collapsed in November 2022.

A federal judge later ordered Sam Bankman-Fried to forfeit $11 billion after his fraud conviction, with recovered funds directed toward victim compensation.

The US Marshals Service selected Coinbase Prime in July 2024 to custody and trade its large-cap digital assets.

“After a comprehensive process, the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, selected Coinbase Prime as its partner to safeguard and trade its “Class 1” (large cap) digital assets,” read an excerpt in a 2024 Coinbase blog.

Therefore, deposits to the platform often precede custody changes, over-the-counter deals, or liquidations.

The agency has managed seized crypto sales for over a decade, beginning with its auction of 30,000 Silk Road bitcoins in 2014.

Historically, it has favored structured sales over open-market dumps.

The transaction also extends a pattern of earlier seized altcoin transfers involving Uniswap (UNI), Render (RNDR), Ethereum (ETH), and The Sandbox (SAND), plus stablecoins.

Meanwhile, the FTX estate keeps repaying customers, with its fourth creditor distribution round delivering $2.2 billion in March.

Analysts See Limited Risk of a LINK Sell-OffChainlink’s current price sits near $7.66, down 2% over the past 24 hours. The token holds a $5.57 billion market cap and ranks 21st among cryptocurrencies.

Chainlink (LINK) Price Performance. Source: BeInCryptoThe transferred amount equals less than 0.4% of LINK’s $225 million daily trading volume. It also represents roughly 0.01% of the 727 million tokens in circulation.

Consequently, even an outright sale would barely move market liquidity.

Sentiment around the token remains cautious after a 27% slide over the past 30 days. LINK has also shed 49% over the past year, leaving holders alert to new supply signals.

In contrast, Chainlink’s ETF inflow outlook suggests institutional demand could absorb modest government supply over time.

Whether the tokens move to an over-the-counter desk or stay in custody should become clearer in the coming days.

The wallet’s next transaction will reveal whether the deposit marks routine management or the start of a liquidation.

Until then, the sell-off fears look larger than the numbers behind them.

Top 1 On-Chain Liquidation: ETH Bull Whale Hit With 4 Consecutive Forced Liquidations, $14.11 Million in Positions Liquidated

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, today’s largest liquidation on the Hyperliquid platform involved a high-leverage Ethereum (ETH) long whale. The address opened a long position yesterday when ETH was trading at roughly $1,661, and immediately incurred losses after entry. Triggered by ETH’s short-term dip below $1,600 in the early hours of today, the whale faced four consecutive liquidations, resulting in the forced closure of a total of 8,734 ETH positions valued at approximately $14.11 million. The address now holds less than $150,000 in remaining funds, with all positions fully cleared. Address: 0x1cb0b187c14a8c0fb36ca0dcbb775dcc7f02b408

A whale that reaped over $23.77 million in profits from the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ICO has reawakened after six years of dormancy, offloading 12,600 ETH in the past two days.

According to monitoring by EmberCN, a whale address that participated in the BAT ICO in 2017 and generated approximately $23.77 million in total profits has started selling ETH recently after six years of inactivity. Over the past two days, the address has sold 12,586 ETH, receiving 20.59 million USDS in exchange, at an average selling price of roughly $1,636. The whale invested 17,789 ETH in the BAT ICO in May 2017, acquiring around 113.8 million BAT. It then sold BAT gradually over approximately two and a half years at an average price of $0.245, netting about $23.77 million in profits, with some of the BAT converted into 27,586 ETH. Since then, the ETH has remained inactive for a long time until it resumed reducing its holdings recently. Currently, the address still holds around 15,000 ETH, valued at approximately $24.29 million.

Tom Lee's Bitmine Scoops Up Another 20,000 ETH
ARKM Arkham ETH Ethereum
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Bitmine Adds to Its Ethereum StockpileTom Lee's Bitmine Immersion Technologies has acquired another 20,000 $ETH worth approximately $35.85 million from FalconX, according to onchain data flagged by Arkham Intelligence. The purchase is the latest move in an accumulation campaign that has made Bitmine (NYSE: $BMNR) the largest known corporate Ethereum treasury in the world.

Bitmine has repeatedly sourced large ETH tranches directly from institutional trading platform FalconX, with onchain analytics confirming the transaction patterns. The firm has also used venues such as Kraken and BitGo to execute purchases worth hundreds of millions of dollars without significantly disrupting spot markets.

Chasing the "Alchemy of 5%" TargetThe latest buy adds to what Bitmine calls its "Alchemy of 5%" initiative, a goal to accumulate at least 5% of Ethereum's entire circulating supply. Bitmine holds 5.54 million ETH worth over $9 billion, with 4.7 million tokens staked. Those staked holdings generate a projected $230 million in annualized staking revenue via MAVAN.

Bitmine recently launched MAVAN, the Made in America Validator Network, an institutional-grade staking platform originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, with plans to expand and serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners.

To fund its buying campaign, Bitmine tapped capital markets. A $280 million 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock raise effectively doubles down on Bitmine as an Ethereum treasury and staking vehicle. The financing approach mirrors tools pioneered by bitcoin treasury firm Strategy (MSTR), which has increasingly turned to preferred equity and other yield-bearing securities to fund crypto purchases.

Despite earlier comments about slowing purchases as the firm neared its 5% goal, Bitmine has remained committed to accumulation. Chairman Tom Lee has said the firm is "maintaining a somewhat elevated pace of buying" as the pullback in ETH prices does not reflect the strengthening of Ethereum fundamentals, and expects to reach the Alchemy of 5% sometime in 2026. Lee has also tied long-term Ethereum demand to the growth of artificial intelligence systems and onchain finance, arguing that the network's settlement role will expand as more economic activity moves atop the blockchain.

Ethereum Foundation Cuts 20% of Staff in Sweeping Reorganization
ARKM Arkham ETH Ethereum
CoinGecko News
Original source text
The Ethereum Foundation has eliminated 54 positions, about 20% of its workforce, as part of a restructuring tied to its updated spending mandate. Vitalik Buterin announced a 40% annual budget cut targeting a reduction in treasury spend from 15% to 5% by 2030. Arkham Intelligence places EF's ETH holdings at approximately $209 million, a nearly six-year low.

The Ethereum Foundation has cut 54 employees, roughly 20% of its staff, in the most concrete austerity measure the organization has taken since pledging to reduce its treasury spending rate.

The Foundation announced the changes Tuesday, saying the cuts conclude a months-long reorganization tied to its updated Mandate and Treasury Management Policy. Vitalik Buterin separately posted on X that the EF is cutting its annual budget by approximately 40% this year, targeting a reduction in annual operating expenses from around 15% of treasury to a long-term baseline of 5% after 2030.

[[embed:tweet url="https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/2069428396661051587"]] Arkham Intelligence tracked the EF's ETH holdings at approximately $209 million, a nearly six-year low by dollar value, as The Defiant has reported in this arc.

New StructureThe Foundation has reorganized into five domains: protocol layer, access layer, user layer, community layer, and institutional layer, plus operations and management clusters. The protocol cluster is focused on advancing the base layer without compromising censorship resistance or self-sovereignty guarantees; the institutional cluster handles enterprise engagement, financial infrastructure, and policy coordination. The EF said the process leaves it with "the structure, activities, and people necessary for execution on the critical tasks ahead." Departing staff receive severance at one month's pay per year of service, or the locally mandated minimum if higher, plus transition grants.

The 15%-to-5% glide path was codified in the Treasury Management Policy published in June 2025, which set a plan to reduce annual operating expenses roughly linearly over five years toward a baseline typical of endowment-based organizations.

Leadership TurnoverThe layoffs follow a string of senior departures. Co-executive director Hsiao-Wei Wang stepped down earlier this month, following the prior exit of co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak. Board member Bastian Aue has taken on expanded responsibilities overseeing the transition. Nine senior figures have departed the Foundation since January, as The Defiant covered in May.

The funding picture has drawn scrutiny. An insider warned of a $20-30 million gap affecting core development teams; Fundstrat's Tom Lee argued there was "zero chance" of a funding crisis. The EF's execution plan published Monday outlined priorities including MEV elimination, default privacy, and ETH-denominated pay for contributors. As of publication, the EF has made no additional public statement beyond the Tuesday blog post.

Stroem Finance is Connecting Kaspa, Igra, & Ethereum...
ETH Ethereum KAS Kaspa
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Trustless Cross-Chain Swaps Without BridgesStroem Finance is preparing to debut a cross-chain atomic swap protocol that will enable trustless asset exchanges between @kaspaunchained, @Igra_Labs, and @Ethereum. The project is positioning itself as a bridge-free alternative for users who want to move assets across these three networks without relying on a centralised intermediary.

The protocol is built around hash-locked contracts, more formally known as Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs). These contracts use hash-locks and time-locks to ensure that a transaction is either completed by both parties or automatically cancelled if one side fails to meet the conditions. By using cryptographic guarantees rather than institutional trust, these transactions ensure value transfers either happen completely or not at all.

The design is a deliberate response to the risks associated with conventional cross-chain bridges. Atomic swaps allow for direct, trustless exchanges between compatible blockchains, while cross-chain bridges lock assets on one chain and create wrapped tokens on another. To date, over $2.6 billion has been lost in exploits due to cross-chain bridge hacks, which is why the Web3 ecosystem is rapidly adopting superior cross-chain solutions.

Testnet Phase Underway Before Mainnet LaunchThe Stroem Finance protocol is currently restricted to a dedicated testnet environment while developers work to finalise the settlement logic. A full mainnet deployment is planned once that process is complete.

Stroem Finance has been noted as a peer-to-peer atomic swap solution between Ethereum and Kaspa , and the inclusion of @Igra_Labs broadens the scope of its interoperability ambitions. Bringing three distinct networks under a single trustless settlement layer is a technically demanding undertaking, particularly given that atomic swaps face compatibility challenges, as both blockchains must support specific cryptographic features and HTLCs for a swap to work.

If Stroem Finance delivers on its roadmap, the protocol could offer a meaningful alternative for users seeking to move assets across Kaspa, Igra, and Ethereum without wrapping tokens, paying bridge fees, or trusting a third-party custodian.

Tokenized Gold Hits $5B as Safe-Haven Demand Surges Across Crypto Markets

TLDR: Table of Contents

TLDR:Tokenized Gold Captures Nearly Entire Commodity MarketEthereum Leads As RWA Adoption Expands Across MarketsGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks Tokenized gold now represents nearly the entire blockchain-based commodity market worldwide. a16z Crypto data shows tokenized silver and oil products remain far behind gold adoption. Ethereum leads the tokenized asset sector with over $15 billion in on-chain value locked. Investors increasingly use tokenized gold for defensive exposure during market uncertainty periods. Tokenized gold has emerged as the dominant force within the on-chain commodity sector after crossing the $5 billion mark.

Fresh data from a16z Crypto shows investors increasingly moving toward blockchain-based hard assets as macro uncertainty continues reshaping capital allocation strategies across digital markets.

Tokenized Gold Captures Nearly Entire Commodity Market Tokenized gold now accounts for almost all value within the tokenized commodity sector, according to recent a16z Crypto data. Figures from rwa.xyz placed the broader market near $5.1 billion as of May 2026.

Out of that total, tokenized gold represented approximately $5 billion alone. The remaining commodity categories contributed only a small fraction of overall market capitalization.

Tokenized silver products remained limited, with valuations near $28 million. Gold ETF-linked tokenized exposure, including iShares Gold Trust products, stood at around $14 million.

Meanwhile, tokenized oil, agriculture, and synthetic commodity assets barely registered within the sector. Those categories collectively accounted for less than $3 million in market value.

🐋 WHALE WATCH: Tokenized gold just reached a massive milestone of 5 billion dollars on chain.

It currently represents almost the entire value of the tokenized commodity sector.

Other assets like silver and oil are barely pulling in any significant volume.

Investors clearly… pic.twitter.com/m8Gy5naRXz

— Whale Factor (@WhaleFactor) May 24, 2026

The report noted that gold’s global liquidity and standardized pricing structure make it naturally suited for tokenization. Blockchain infrastructure also allows faster settlement and easier transferability across digital platforms.

Products like Pax Gold and Tether Gold continue driving adoption by linking physical gold reserves to blockchain-based ownership. Investors can hold tokenized gold directly through crypto wallets without relying on traditional custody systems.

The growing market share also reflects changing investor behavior during periods of elevated economic uncertainty. Traders increasingly seek defensive positioning while maintaining exposure inside crypto-native ecosystems.

Unlike volatile altcoins, tokenized gold offers lower price fluctuations while preserving blockchain liquidity advantages. That combination has strengthened demand among both retail traders and institutional participants.

Tokenized gold has surged to nearly $5 billion in market value, dominating the on-chain commodity sector as investors seek blockchain-based safe-haven exposure.

Ethereum Leads As RWA Adoption Expands Across Markets The tokenized asset sector has expanded rapidly during the past two years. According to a16z Crypto, the broader real-world asset market recently surpassed $30 billion, excluding stablecoins.

Source: RWA.xyz

Government debt products currently lead the tokenized asset sector with approximately $15.2 billion in value. Asset managers, including BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, accelerated product launches amid rising institutional demand.

Ethereum remains the largest blockchain supporting tokenized assets, hosting nearly $15.7 billion across the sector. BNB Chain, Solana, Stellar, and Liquid Network also maintained sizable shares within the market.

Despite rising valuations, most tokenized commodity products remain lightly integrated into decentralized finance applications. Many investors continue holding tokenized gold primarily as a reserve-style asset rather than active collateral.

The report explained that only a small percentage of tokenized Treasury products currently interact with DeFi protocols.

Categories specifically designed for on-chain utility continue showing stronger composability across decentralized applications.

Tokenized gold adoption also reflects broader changes in crypto markets. Investors are increasingly combining Bitcoin exposure with defensive assets linked to traditional stores of value.

That shift suggests digital asset markets are gradually evolving beyond speculation-focused trading cycles. Blockchain infrastructure now supports both high-growth assets and lower-volatility capital preservation strategies.

Gold now dominates nearly the entire tokenized commodity market as investors rotate toward trusted blockchain-based hard assets.

Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Toncoin (TON), and Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis For June 12: Getting Back in Bull Market
DOGE Dogecoin ETH Ethereum SHIB Shiba Inu TON Toncoin
CoinGecko News
Original source text
Dogecoin remains suppressed, following one of its biggest drops in recent weeks. The top meme cryptocurrency is currently trading close to $0.085 after losing a significant technical support level. This has investors wondering if the recent selloff has finally reached its limit, or if another leg lower is still possible.

The most recent correction caused DOGE to fall below a number of significant moving averages, including its medium-term and short-term trend indicators. More significantly, a rising support line that had been directing price movement since February was broken by the asset. Such a breakdown frequently indicates that buyers have momentarily lost control and that the market structure is deteriorating.

DOGE/USDT Chart by TradingViewSome indications of stabilization are starting to show despite the weakness. Following a sharp drop, DOGE was able to find support in the $0.08 area, where buyers intervened to slow the selling momentum. During the decline, trading volume significantly increased, suggesting a wave of weaker holders capitulating. These panic selling episodes have historically occasionally indicated the later phases of a correction, though there is currently insufficient proof.

HOT Stories

Additionally, momentum indicators indicate that DOGE is getting close to oversold territory. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has nearly returned to its pre-short-term rebound levels. But oversold conditions by themselves do not ensure a reversal, particularly if the overall trend is still negative.

Bulls need to reclaim the $0.10 region in order for DOGE to regain bullish momentum. Following the recent breakdown, that zone now serves as a significant resistance level and aligns with multiple moving averages that may draw sellers. The technical outlook would be greatly enhanced, and a broader recovery would be possible with a successful move above it.

Shiba Inu trend under controlAs the meme coin industry tries to regain momentum after the most recent market correction, Shiba Inu is still under pressure. In recent weeks, SHIB has significantly decreased, but sellers are still in control of the overall trend.

The asset is still trading below a number of significant technical levels, which is indicative of diminished investor confidence and less speculative activity. Despite sporadic attempts at recovery, buyers have not yet created enough momentum to create a long-lasting uptrend.

You Might Also Like

It appears that SHIB is getting close to a critical stage based on recent price action. The next big move may depend on how well support levels hold up, which are currently being tested. The token may enter a consolidation phase and lay the groundwork for a more robust recovery in the future if buyers are successful in defending these zones.

SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewAccording to momentum indicators, selling pressure has decreased in comparison to the decline's most aggressive phases. They do not, however, yet point to a clear bullish reversal. Because of this, traders continue to concentrate on whether SHIB can recover adjacent resistance levels and draw in new demand.

It's likely that volatility will stay high in the near future. Shiba Inu's long-term prospects are still largely dependent on market sentiment and risk tolerance, but support preservation is still the primary priority right now. While another breakdown would raise the likelihood of further downside pressure, a successful defense could significantly improve the technical picture.

Toncoin becoming healthierDespite the recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market, Toncoin (TON) is exhibiting significantly greater resilience than many large-cap altcoins. TON has stabilized close to a crucial support area following a dramatic decline from its May highs, and it is currently working to restore its bullish momentum.

Toncoin is still trading around its long-term moving averages, in contrast to a number of major cryptocurrencies that have completely collapsed. This distinction is significant because it implies that, despite a decline in short-term sentiment, the larger market structure is still intact. TON was driven toward the $1.50–$1.55 range by the recent selloff, but buyers soon returned and stopped a further decline.

You Might Also Like

The recovery has not been easy. Price action is still erratic, and there has been opposition to repeated attempts to recover higher levels. Nevertheless, TON continues to hold above the most important support zones that define its medium-term outlook. This provides bulls with a chance to progressively take back control if buying pressure keeps getting better.

The momentum indicators' behavior is one positive indication. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently hovering close to neutral territory after recovering from oversold conditions. This implies that, in contrast to the panic that accompanied the initial decline, selling pressure has considerably decreased.

Toncoin's next obstacle is in the $1.75–$1.85 range. This area has a number of technical barriers and moving averages that served as support before becoming resistance. A successful breakout above that range would probably pique traders' interest once more and increase the likelihood of a move toward the psychologically significant $2 level.

Ethereum bears lose controlAfter weeks of intense selling pressure that pushed the second-largest cryptocurrency well below its recent highs, Ethereum is beginning to stabilize. ETH has begun to exhibit traits frequently linked to a possible recovery phase, even though the larger market is still cautious.

Ethereum's ability to stay above recent lows, in spite of ongoing volatility in the cryptocurrency space, is one of the most noteworthy developments. Buyers have frequently intervened in close proximity to crucial support zones, averting a more severe collapse and indicating that demand is starting to rebound. The panic-driven selling observed earlier in the correction stands in contrast to this behavior.

You Might Also Like

Additionally, technical indicators are getting better. After reaching oversold conditions, momentum has stabilized, and Ethereum is working to create a higher low, which frequently forms the basis for trend reversals. The change implies that bearish pressure might be waning, though confirmation is still required.

Regaining significant resistance levels above will be ETH's next challenge. A successful increase in price could boost the mood of the market and draw more investment into the asset. But until Ethereum demonstrates that it can maintain its upward momentum, traders should exercise caution.

For the time being, Ethereum seems to be moving from an aggressive selling phase to a consolidation phase. In the upcoming weeks, broader market conditions will probably determine whether this is just a brief pause or the start of a more significant recovery.

Vitalik Buterin Says Crypto Social Needs a Reset After X Ban Fallout
ETH Ethereum MASK Mask Network
CoinGecko News
Original source text
As X rolls out mass bans and enforcement crackdowns, a familiar question is surfacing across crypto Twitter: if centralized platforms remain this fragile, where does crypto social really go next?

That question took center stage in a recent WuBlockchain Podcast interview featuring Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Mask Network founder Suji Yan, where both laid out why decentralized social networks have struggled and why the next phase may look very different from past SocialFi experiments.

Vitalik didn’t sugarcoat the challenge. Despite years of experimentation, most decentralized social platforms fail for two core reasons: network effects and misaligned incentives.

“Almost no new social platforms have truly broken through at scale,” he said, pointing out that without users, even the best products feel empty. More importantly, many projects jump straight into tokenization, assuming finance can fix social problems.

“But if you start from social itself, the real issue is usually creator incentives,” Vitalik explained, noting that token-driven models often reward existing influence and speculation, not high-quality content.

Migration Is Real, But It’s SlowSuji Yan framed the recent X bans as part of a longer pattern rather than a sudden turning point. User migration, he argued, is gradual and phased, not abrupt.

“The realistic path is moving from centralized platforms to semi-centralized models, and only then toward full decentralization,” Suji said, comparing the process to how DeFi and prediction markets evolved over time.

This helps explain why tools like aggregators and shared protocol layers are gaining attention, letting users explore decentralized social without fully abandoning existing networks.

Wallets, Prediction Markets, and the Next Social LayerOne of the most forward-looking ideas discussed was the convergence of wallets and social platforms. Suji outlined a vision where users can post directly from any wallet, across any chain, reducing friction and onboarding barriers.

Vitalik added that wallets will increasingly protect identity and data, making interoperability essential.

He also highlighted prediction markets as a potential upgrade to online discourse.

“The market-implied probability can quickly show how unlikely that outcome actually is,” Vitalik said, describing how markets could cool down extreme claims faster than traditional fact-checking tools.
