February 18, 2026 – Panama City, Republic of Panama
Sai today launched Sai Perps, a perpetuals trading platform built to be as fast and intuitive as a CEX (centralized exchange) with the transparency and self-custody of onchain settlement.

Sai also unveiled ‘Let’s Go Saicho,’ a one-month onchain trading competition running February 18, 2026, through March 19, 2026, with $25,000 in total prizes.
The campaign is structured in two phases designed to reward both performance and participation – a PNL competition for profitable traders, followed by a first-come, first-serve ‘be early’ phase for traders who engage early and hit a minimum volume threshold.
Matthias Darblade, a Sai contributor, said,
“Onchain markets shouldn’t require traders to compromise between speed and self-custody.
“Sai Perps is designed for active traders who want a clean, CEX-like experience, while still getting the transparency and settlement guarantees that only onchain infrastructure can provide.”

Sai is focused on finalizing its core trading infrastructure and user experience, building liquidity and risk systems for smoother execution, and laying the groundwork for yield features that help users earn on idle collateral. Next on the roadmap: expanded markets (stocks, commodities, FX), Sai Savings, cross-chain deposits, and smart accounts for gasless trading.
In brief Sai has announced the launch of Sai Perps, a perpetuals trading platform. The platform is designed to offer a "clean, CEX-like experience," with onchain settlement providing transparency and settlement guarantees. Sai Perps launches alongside Let’s Go Saicho, a one-month onchain trading competition with a $25,000 prize pool. Sai has announced the launch of Sai Perps, a perpetuals trading platform designed to combine the accessibility of centralized exchanges with the transparency and self-custody of onchain settlement. The platform features gasless transactions, which Sai claims removes friction for traders while maintaining full onchain security.
“Onchain markets shouldn’t require traders to compromise between speed and self-custody,” Sai contributor Matthias Darblade said in a statement shared with Decrypt. “Sai Perps is designed for active traders who want a clean, CEX-like experience, while still getting the transparency and settlement guarantees that only onchain infrastructure can provide.”
Sai Perps offers a “streamlined trading experience” built atop smart contract ecosystem Nibiru, with onchain infrastructure that focuses on liquidity, risk systems and oracle design. Sai’s oracle settled pricing reflects global markets, which it claims reduces scam wicks and “makes Sai feel like a low slippage DEX even when liquidity appears light.”
Flexible collateral enables capital to be reused across positions, while Sai’s single asset vaults enable users to earn a share of fees without managing pairs, with collateral deposits of USDC or Nibiru’s Liquid Staked NIBI (stNIBI) token.
Let’s Go SaichoTo accompany the launch of Sai Perps, Sai has unveiled Let’s Go Saicho, a one-month onchain trading competition with a $25,000 prize pool. The competition kicks off with a PNL contest for profitable traders, running from February 182 to March 4, with 50 winners sharing a $20,000 prize pool.
The wait is over. Sai is live.

⚡Stryke integrates with @PancakeSwap
This provides PancakeSwap users with direct access to our CLAMM product on an interface they are familiar with. Existing Stryke users gain deeper liquidity by selecting PancakeSwap as the underlying DEX.

— Stryke ⚡ (@stryke_xyz) April 8, 2024 Such a forward-looking solution, by targeting diverse segments of the trading and investment settings, is designed with the first markets ARB/USDC, WETH/USDC, and WBTC/USDC being considered as well. American style options, famous for their attenuation, provide a single chance to execute the contract as soon as it occurs to the holder, and if he wishes, to take advantage of the volatile situation and to exit the market.
Derivatives mainly include two types of options, which are the financial derivatives that provide buyers with the right, but not the duty, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a previously assigned price until an announced date.
This facilitates the buyers to protect themselves against potential losses to the money paid for the option by setting the upper level of losses at the level of the premium. This puts the option in a very valuable spot for managing financial risk.
The coupling between the PancakeSwap and the Strike online platform provides a new platform wherein user’s could perform options trading, on-chain options liquidity provision, colleting premiums, and earning swap fees.
Revolutionizing DeFi By the partnership, an innovation of liquidity model of CLAMM options trading is also revealed as the outcome. Psychician swaps offer liquidity to CLAMM option, in turn making pancake swap version 3 (v3) pool. This reduces trading transactions it enables liquidity to be extracted by making a v3 pool of the options when purchased, where liquidity provider provides options for sale and receives premiums.
This arrangement guarantees that the v3 pool will hold any extra sources that have not been traded and that the trade fees are being collected as long as the pool rates remain within a range correlating to the market if the pool rate rises above the upper point.
This inventive liquidity procedure in turn makes option selling users minimize their risks, the payoff system of v3 liquidity with selling is resonate. Therefore, in this process, participants’ risks are not higher than with a classical liquidity provision in the financial market.
The method also takes care of liquidity handling efficiently so that the balance of tokens or initial liquidity can be kept consistent without possessing high risk associated with both unresponsive buy support from options buyers and liquidity range pockets.
Pioneering CLAMM options to transform DeFi trading landscape Pancakeswap and Stryke’s partnership is a whistleblower in the DeFi environment because it offers the much-needed product called CLAMM on a familiar interface to be used by PancakeSwap users. Moreover, the current Stryke users’ benefits will be made deeper by their capacity to do choose PancakeSwap from initial DEX when settling transactions.
This partnership does not only boost the current options trading market within DeFi but most importantly, it depicts an imperative move taking PancakeSwap’s v3 token pool to new digital frontier through hard working team of developers.
With the open-source framework for DeFi (Decentralized Financial) ecosystem still evolving, the emergence of CLAMM Options Trading by PancakeSwap and Stryke is bound to be a turning point of DeFi in terms of future evolution of decentralized trading.
This cooperation reveals opportunities for partnerships as well as bestows professionals, investors and halvers with new tools to cope with the volatile digital asset ecology. Flexibility, liquidity and efficiency are the smartest words to describe CLAMM Options Trading. It will make DeFi feature invsestin real time, what makes DeFi a preferred toolset by users who would like to try new strategies and opportunities.

The crypto market shows signs of recovery with Ethereum climbing back above the $2,000 level, while several altcoins including Wormhole (W), DIONE, and Magnetix (MAG) post double-digit gains in the past 24 hours.
Wormhole (W) has jumped 41.7% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.1218 from a low of $0.08551. The token’s momentum extends beyond the daily timeframe, with nearly 40% growth over the past week.
Source: CoinGecko One commentator on X noted that Wormhole has established itself as one of the most active interoperability networks, processing approximately 200,000 messages and $40 million in daily volume.
The platform currently holds a total value locked (TVL) of $2.5 billion.

— JLPicard (@JLPicardd) March 19, 2025 Despite W’s previous drop from $1.40 to its current price, the current trend suggests Wormhole could eventually reach a target of $1.90.
The recent RSI breakout on the daily chart is a positive indicator, the observer noted.
Wormhole is currently down 92.8% from its all-time high of $1.66.
Another member of X’s crypto community, gemxbt, shared W’s bullish breakout with strong positive price action. The analyst identifies key support around $0.0800 and resistance at the recent high of $0.1100.
While the RSI above 70 indicates potentially overbought conditions, the MACD suggests a continued upward price surge.

The current rally adds to DIONE’s decent performance of 70% growth over the past week and 95% over the last 30 days.
The price action coincides with DIONE’s upcoming “Week 4 FOMO” event from March 24 to March 28. This event has generated buying interest ahead of the launch.
The third coin on the list is Magnetix, which has climbed 25.5% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.03515 from $0.028.
MAG’s recent performance has been particularly strong, with a 150% increase over the past week.
The Solana (SOL)-based meme coin recently appeared on Binance’s top 100 new cryptocurrencies list. MAG also reached a new all-time high of $0.03575 today and has achieved a market capitalization of $35 million.
Steem Dollars, the stablecoin native to the Steem blockchain, has seen a remarkable price surge of over 106%, drawing fresh attention to the decentralized content and rewards platform.
Originally created in 2016 by blockchain entrepreneur Ned Scott and BitShares founder Dan Larimer, Steem Dollars (SBD) were designed to provide stability in the volatile world of cryptocurrency while powering a unique ecosystem of social media and content creation.
Its market cap currently hovers just above $47.5 million.
Source: CoinGecko The coin’s recent rally highlights renewed interest in the Steem ecosystem, where Steem Dollars play a central role. Pegged to the U.S. dollar, the coin offers a relatively stable cryptocurrency option — integral to the platform’s reward system.
Additionally, Steem – like most cryptocurrencies – can also be used to make digital peer-to-peer payments.
Users earn SBD for publishing and curating content on platforms like Steemit, a New York-based startup that touts itself as a decentralized alternative to traditional social media networks.
Why Steem Dollars matter SBD provides liquidity for transactions within the Steem blockchain and can be used to earn interest as part of a decentralized savings account. It is also convertible to other cryptocurrencies or fiat.
Additionally, Steem Dollars can be traded for STEEM tokens or Steem Power, the latter increasing influence and voting weight on the platform.
The sharp price increase, however, raises questions about its stability. While the token is intended to maintain a value close to 1 USD, its market-driven price has occasionally deviated from this peg.
The current surge might reflect speculative trading rather than organic growth in the ecosystem, but it nonetheless underscores the enduring relevance of Steem Dollars in the blockchain space.
Looking ahead As SBD continues to climb, analysts and community members will be watching closely to see if this momentum translates into lasting growth for the Steem ecosystem.
Whether the surge is a fleeting speculative event or the start of a broader renaissance, one thing is clear: Steem Dollars are once again making waves in the cryptocurrency world.
Several platforms integrate stablecoins into reward ecosystems to incentivize user participation and provide stability. Examples include Hive Dollar on the Hive blockchain, offering rewards for content creators, and DAI from MakerDAO, widely used in DeFi for staking and liquidity rewards.
Binance USD (BUSD) and USDC are commonly utilized in platforms like PancakeSwap and PoolTogether for similar purposes. Curve Finance employs stablecoins like DAI and USDT in liquidity pools, while sUSD from Synthetix powers synthetic asset trading and staking rewards.
Social media platforms like Roll and Rally also incorporate stablecoins to reward creators. These ecosystems highlight the versatility of stablecoins in reducing volatility and fostering user engagement.
Coinbase Global Inc. adds Stader (SD) to its roadmap, a significant milestone that underscores the maturity of the Stader Labs’ governance token.
Crypto exchange Coinbase today confirms the addition of the Stader (SD) digital currency to its roadmap through the official X page. By formally adding SD, Coinbase recognizes the pivotal input the ERC-20 token has towards Ethereum (ETH) decentralization and Stader protocol.
Assets added to the roadmap today: Stader (SD)https://t.co/rRB9d3hSr2
— Coinbase Assets 🛡️ (@CoinbaseAssets) July 10, 2024
Coinbase Vote of Confidence on SD The bullish update coincides with the surge in SD price, lifting the liquid staking governance token among the largest digital asset gainers. Bulls are in control as SD rallies 88% in 24 hours to exchange hands at $0.7539. At press time, CoinGecko data shows the same uptrend applies to its market capitalization, now worth $33.26 million from a circulating supply of 41 million.
As America’s largest crypto exchange, Coinbase conforms to a strict listing policy for all digital currencies. The exchange reiterates that listing tokens on its roadmap hinges on the initiative’s technical, legal, and compliance standards.
SD debut on the Coinbase roadmap and for possible future listing affirms the Stader governance token maturity in its bid to further ETH decentralization within the SD Utility Pool. However, Coinbase cautions that the addition of a token to its roadmap does not guarantee future listing.
SD Rejuvenation Path The SD token taps the roadmap update with its trading volume 186.30% up in the past 24 hours to $5,976,529, signaling an accelerated rise in market activity. SD’s emergence traces to the onset of 2022, with the token setting an all-time high (ATH) of $30.17 in March. However, SD lost the appeal as its value plunged to a low of $0.2368 in October.
Market data confirms the Stader struggles with five days of flat price action trailing today’s bullish jump. Despite SD price comparatively 97.28% below its ATH, today’s rally positions it on a rejuvenation path of 18.8% gain in the past 30 days.
CoinGecko indicates that SD’s 28.60% price increase in the past seven days outperforms the global crypto market, down 2.60%. Consequently, the Coinbase roadmap update is a potential shift in SD’s accessibility to investors served by the US exchange and a potential catalyst for further price action.

SD Price Performance. Source: BeInCryptoStader is a non-custodial, multi-chain liquid staking platform. It offers users access to some of the most rewarding decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities across Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks. These include Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, and Hedera.
SD, Stader’s native token, is an ERC-20 token with a maximum supply of 120 million. This token boasts multiple utilities, including a unique SD Utility Pool, liquidity mining incentives, and a governance role within the Stader protocol.
Stader distinguishes itself from native Ethereum staking by lowering the capital commitment for node operators. Instead of the 32 ETH required for native staking, Stader allows node operators to maintain the network with just 4 ETH.
This reduced bond is supplemented by liquid stakers, enabling the issuance of the ETHx token and representing the entire stake. Furthermore, Stader offers users a 50% reward boost, resulting in a reward rate exceeding 6%, while node operators can earn up to 35% more yields with 8x leverage on their staked ETH.
ETHx Restaking Launch and Chainlink Integration Elevate Stader’s DeFi GameIn December 2023, Stader’s ETHx became an accepted liquid staking token (LST) for restaking on EigenLayer. Starting December 18, 2023, users can restake their ETHx.
They can participate either directly on EigenLayer or through the Early Queue on Kelp DAO. These options aim to maximize the rewards for ETHx holders and enhance the staking experience.
Stader also integrated Chainlink CCIP across the Ethereum and Arbitrum mainnets in June. By leveraging CCIP’s Simplified Token Transfer capabilities, Stader facilitates secure cross-chain transfers of ETHx. Stader is sponsoring the ETHx/ETH Chainlink Price Feed on Ethereum to boost ETHx adoption across DeFi.
“We’re excited to integrate the industry-standard Chainlink CCIP to help secure cross-chain transfers of ETHx. By leveraging CCIP’s level-5 security and advanced risk management infrastructure, we can help increase the adoption of ETHx across DeFi,” Amitej Gajjala, Co-Founder of Stader Labs, said.

Stader’s TVL. Source: Token TerminalAccording to Token Terminal data, Stader’s current total value locked (TVL) is $474.74 million. Although this represents a decrease from its year-high of $706.84 million on March 13, the recent inclusion of Stader on Coinbase’s roadmap signals a vote of confidence in its potential, promising further growth and adoption within the crypto community.
American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) has extended its support to Stader (SD), the primary cryptocurrency of the Stader Labs platform. The firm announced its plans to add the coin to its listing roadmap. In a rather expected move, the news has caused an uproar in the crypto ecosystem, evident in the price surge that the coin saw earlier.
Coinbase Fueling the Bullish Stader Performance Top exchange listings are crucial for the visibility of digital assets due to the significant impact that they have. Coinbase is one of the leading players in the crypto sector, therefore, bagging a listing on the platform is a significant win for Stader. The coin is utilized for governance and transaction payments within the Stader ecosystem.
Right after Coinbase’s announcement, SD saw more than a 50% surge as it registered a new high of $0.8507. At the time of this writing, the coin has settled at $0.6678 with a 64.84% increase within the last 24 hours. This is still an impressive price gain for the Stader coin. Additionally, the token’s weekly performance has displayed a positive sentiment with up to a 15% price appreciation over a period of seven days.
Coinbase endorsement of the coin has sent its trading volume on a sizable high. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that Stader’s trading volume has gone up by 231.53% in the last 24 hours. This corresponds with a current trading volume of $7,711,493. Stader’s market capitalization is not left out of the skyrocketing performance.
With a circulating supply of almost 41 million, the coin now has a market cap of $27,220,357 after it registered a 64.84% surge.
Coinbase List Other Tokens amidst Regulatory Debacle All of these metrics further reflect the interconnectedness of a crypto exchange listing and digital assets performance. Book of meme (BOME) experienced a similar sentiment as Stader last month after Coinbase announced support for the crypto.
Precisely, the top cryptocurrency exchange stated that it would add support for the perpetual futures of the memecoin on Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced alongside Notcoin (NOT). Within 24 hours of the announcement, the BOME memecoin rose close to 10%, with a 15.31% surge in the trading volume to $271.9 million.
This year, Coinbase has listed a lot of other digital assets including the BRC-20 token ORDI. It also recently teamed up with payment processor Stripe to introduce support for the USDC stablecoin on the Base Network.
Meanwhile, the exchange is still facing regulatory issues with the United States authorities. Coinbase has a pending lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over violation of securities laws. At the beginning of this month, the exchange asked the presiding judge Katherine Polk Failla, to take a cue from a similar case between the SEC and Binance.
The case is still ongoing with the judge yet to give a verdict.

An altcoin backed by crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital is rallying after the top US crypto exchange Coinbase announced a possible future listing of the token.
In a new announcement, Coinbase says it is adding Stader (SD) to its “listing roadmap,” which alerts customers that the exchange could soon add support for certain assets.
[adinserter block="1"]
As the news broke Tuesday, SD shot up from a day low of $0.39 to $0.70 at time of writing, a more than 79% gain. SD had soared to a day’s high of $0.85 before retracing.
SD is the native governance and value accrual ERC-20 token for the Stader protocol, a noncustodial, multi-chain liquid staking platform. The maximum token supply is 120 million.
The project is currently holding a vote on expanding the token’s utility by “leveraging the SD Utility Pool to provide insurance cover for permissioned node operators, ensuring they only have to cover up to four Ethereum (ETH) in slashing penalties, with the excess covered by the pool.”
In 2023, Stader Labs, the development team behind the project, raised $4 Million in seed funding from Pantera Capital and other large investors.
According to Coinbase, the listing roadmap was created in 2022 to increase transparency and reduce the possibility of investors front-running new trading support announcements.
Bitcoin price has turned downward again, but exchanges seem optimistic and continue listings. The largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, continues the accelerated listings it started at the end of 2021. A recent announcement was made for a new altcoin. So, which cryptocurrency will be listed?
Last Minute Altcoin ListingCoinbase announced that it will support the Stader (SD) Token, an ERC20 token on the Ethereum network. The listing will be simultaneous on Coinbase and Coinbase Global. Deposits are already active for the listing expected on July 30. If the necessary liquidity conditions are met, the pair will go live at 1:00 PM (ET). For now, only the USD pair will be available.
The exchange is not adding an experimental label to this altcoin, which is positive for SD Token. Following the news, the SD Token price rose above $0.7. The token is already available on many cryptocurrency exchanges, and due to its recent popularity with upper wicks, investors are advised to be cautious about quick returns. The price increased by 40% just today.

Crypto exchange Coinbase has added trading support for Stader (SD), a noncustodial, multi-chain liquid staking platform.
In an announcement, Coinbase says that SD is now available on Coinbase.com and the Coinbase iOS and Android apps.
[adinserter block="1"]
Coinbase placed SD on its listing “roadmap” last month, which signals the possibility of future listings for digital assets – triggering significant rallies for the token.
Stader originally aimed to provide liquid staking solutions on the Terra blockchain but expanded to other chains following the 2022 collapse of the Terra ecosystem.
Recently, the Stader community voted to reduce the supply of SD from 150 million to 120 million in a new “tokenomics reboot.”
The project is also currently holding a vote on expanding the token’s utility by “leveraging the SD Utility Pool to provide insurance cover for permissioned node operators, ensuring they only have to cover up to four Ethereum (ETH) in slashing penalties, with the excess covered by the pool.”
In 2023, Stader Labs, the development team behind the project, raised $4 Million in seed funding from Pantera Capital and other large investors.
At time of writing, SD is trading at $0.48, 98.4% down from its all-time high of $30.17 which it hit in March 2022, according to CoinGecko.
Home Altcoins Coinbase Adds New Liquid Staking Altcoin For Trading
U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase will add trading opportunities for Stader (SD), a multichain liquid staking platform now available on Coinbase.com and the iOS and Android apps.
Last month, Coinbase put SD on its listing “roadmap,” which often leads to significant upside for select cryptocurrencies.
Stader (SD) is now live on https://t.co/CD3RBjtMAO & in the Coinbase iOS & Android apps. Coinbase customers can log in to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store these assets.

Stader originally provided liquified steaming services on the Terra blockchain, but expanded to other chains after the project crashed in 2022.
Recently, the Stader community voted to reduce SD supply from 150 million to 120 million as part of a “tokenomics reboot.”
In addition, the project voted to expand the utility of the token by using SD’s utility pool to provide insurance for operators of authorized nodes, limiting their penalties for so-called “slashing” to four Etherium (ETH) tokens, with the pool covering any excess.
Slashing is part of the consensus mechanism’s proof-of-stake method for punishing validators with bad intentions.

Stader crypto price has staged a strong comeback, reaching its highest level since May 9, making it one of the best-performing altcoins this week.
Stader (SD), a prominent player in the liquid staking industry, surged to $0.95, marking a 213% increase from its lowest level this month. This rise has pushed its market cap to $37.90 million, with a fully diluted valuation of $111.7 million.
Stader is a top player in the liquid staking industry. Most of its assets, about $426 million of them, are in Ethereum (ETH), while the remaining ones are in Hedera, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain. According to its website, Stader has over 100,000 users from around the world.
Liquid staking allows users to swap staked coins for liquid tokens that represent the staked assets. These liquid tokens can then be traded, utilized in decentralized finance protocols, and redeemed for the original staked assets.
The SD token’s recent rally corresponds with the stabilization of assets in its ecosystem. Data from DeFi Llama indicates that the total value locked in Stader’s ecosystem had been declining after peaking at $778 million on March 14, bottoming at $381 million in September before rebounding to $463 million.
This recovery suggests potential further growth as cryptocurrencies continue to regain momentum. For example, Randy, an analyst with over 318,000 followers on X, predicted that Ethereum could climb to $5,000 in the upcoming months.
A notable risk for the Stader price is its maximum supply of 120 million tokens, with a current circulating supply of 40.76 million. The platform releases 1.38 million SD tokens monthly, which could lead to further dilution.
Stader price chart | Source: crypto.news The Stader token also experienced a technical breakout. As shown in the chart, SD surged after forming a falling wedge pattern, a common bullish indicator. Typically, a breakout occurs as the pattern nears its confluence point.
Stader has moved above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages and is approaching the psychological $1 mark. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index and Stochastic Oscillator have signaled upward movement, reaching overbought levels.
Given these technicals, the Stader crypto price may likely pull back and retest the lower side of the wedge pattern at $0.40, about 60% below its current level.
Stader crypto retained its bullish structure on the 4-hour chart. Short-term holders in profit could contribute to SD’s drop below $1 support. Stader [SD] crypto had been in a steady downtrend in September and October. It sustained losses worth 47.5% from the 7th of August to the 2nd of November. Since then, Stader crypto has rallied a whopping 250.7% in six days.
At its peak at $1.5, SD had registered gains worth 414.1% in just over five days. The pullback of the past 12 hours was part of a healthy uptrend, but how deep will this pullback reach?
Stader set to decline below the $1 mark? Source: SD/USD on TradingView At press time, both the psychological round number levels of $1.5 and $1 were key. $1.5 formed the local highs that Stader crypto needed to overcome to resume its uptrend. The $1 support level was tested in recent hours and saw a bounce to $1.14.
This bounce suggested buyers were active at $1 but might not be able to hold on. After a triple-digit percentage move within a week, a deep retracement would only offer investors a chance to re-enter the market.
A pullback below $1 would flip the market structure bearishly, but would also be a healthy outcome for the next price move higher. As things stand, the technical structure on the 4-hour chart and the momentum were in bullish favor.
Profit-taking likely to push Stader crypto southward Source: Santiment On-chain metrics showed that the mean coin age began to trend downward in the final week of September, more than a month before SD rallied past $1. This signaled distribution as prices declined in the past two months.

The price surge did not see increased selling pressure, evidenced by the lack of significant peaks on the dormant circulation recently. However, short-term holders were at an enormous profit, averaging 58.6% gains.
This could lead to selling pressure that pulls Stader crypto prices below $1 and toward the moving average support levels at $0.75 and $0.55.

DeFi platform Stader Labs, known for its liquid staking solutions, ventures into speculative trading with a platform designed to introduce clarity to a turbulent market.
The memecoin sector has surged in popularity over the past year, drawing new and experienced traders to assets defined by rapid price swings, internet-fueled hype, and frequent scams. This high-risk corner of the crypto market has posted monthly trading volumes that exceed $300 billion, with many tokens appearing and disappearing in a matter of days.
Founded in 2021, liquid staking platform Stader Labs aims to bring order to the memecoin phenomenon through its new trading platform, Cabbage. Drawing on artificial intelligence and real-time market analytics, Cabbage is designed to distill fast-moving and often chaotic data into key insights for memecoin traders.
AI-driven real-time insights Cabbage’s features include an Opportunity Feed that analyzes large-scale transactions for hints of emerging trends, a Whale Watch system that tracks the best traders, and the Crowd Pulse tool that aggregates community sentiment from social channels like X and Telegram.
The platform also introduces Cabbage Score, which translates detailed technical metrics into simplified ratings. This feature offers an at-a-glance view of a token’s potential, allowing traders to gauge volatility before making a move.
Another feature, called Safety Check, automates the process of vetting new tokens, aiming to flag possible scams or projects with limited liquidity. Moreover, the YOLO Buys function streamlines the process of placing trades, eliminating the need for multiple screens and optimizing slippage settings to reduce unexpected losses.
As an additional incentive, Cabbage gamifies this process by letting users collect badges, ascend leaderboards, and earn rewards for active participation.
Revenue projections signal significant growth Cabbage creator Stader Labs projects that capturing even 5% of monthly memecoin volumes (around $70 billion per month) could generate $420 million in annual revenue through a 1% trading fee.
Additional streams such as premium subscriptions, advertising for new token launches, and premium analytics offerings have the potential to further bolster the platform’s revenue potential.
Alpha launch and roadmap The closed alpha phase for Cabbage is slated to begin on March 20, with a limited group of users gaining early access through a waitlist. Initial testing will focus on refining the Opportunity Feed and YOLO Buys while gathering user feedback to shape future updates.
In the first quarter of 2025, the trading platform intends to expand its toolset by launching the AI-powered Cabbage Score and a more advanced Opportunity Feed, alongside integrations with networks including Base, Berachain, and SUI.
Mobile applications for iOS and Android are scheduled for release in the second quarter when Cabbage also plans to broaden its scope beyond memecoins to cover additional assets. Fiat on-ramps through Apple Pay and Google Pay will be included as well to make trades more accessible.
Backed by Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Jump Crypto, Accel, and Accomplice, Stader Labs has the broader goal of driving DeFi adoption while prioritizing user security. Although Cabbage’s primary mission is to streamline memecoin trading, Stader Labs envisions the platform evolving into a central hub for anyone seeking more insight into high-risk cryptocurrencies.
A detailed litepaper for the platform is available, where users can learn about the technology behind the project. Stader Labs encourages traders and developers to join the Cabbage waitlist and its community channels to stay informed about ongoing releases.

Stader price climbed sharply after its listing on Bithumb’s Korean Won market, posting a surge of more than 40% in a single day.
Summary
Stader rose 42% on Aug. 26 following its listing on Bithumb’s Korean Won market. Governance updates, including July’s revenue buyback plan, continue to support token fundamentals. Technical signals point to a breakout, with potential targets at $1.12 and $1.40. At the time of writing, Stader (SD) was trading around $0.91, nearly 39% higher over the past 24 hours. The token’s rally has also lifted its seven-day performance by 26%, with momentum stretching beyond the past month.
Bithumb listing drives demand The announcement by Bithumb on Aug. 26 confirmed that SD would now be available in the KRW market through the Ethereum (ETH) network. The development instantly triggered the token’s price surge, briefly rising above $1.12 before declining slightly.
Additionally, trading volumes increased significantly, rising by more than 300% from to $25.5 million over the last day. With the listing, Korean traders will have direct access to SD via a major fiat exchange, bringing with it a new level of market visibility and liquidity.
Expanding ecosystem supports price action The surge’s timing aligns with the Stader ecosystem’s continued expansion. The group introduced Cabbage earlier this year, an AI-driven trading platform that makes trading memecoins easier with features like Crowd Pulse and Whale Watch.
According to Stader’s projections, even a small portion of monthly memecoin activity could generate substantial yearly revenue. Updates to governance have also added more utility to the token.
An recent vote by the DAO allocated 20% of protocol revenue toward buybacks of SD, which could be burned, redistributed to stakers, or used to reward traders. These developments have helped strengthen confidence in the project, providing a foundation for speculative interest even before the Bithumb listing.
Stader technical analysis On the daily chart, price action is currently moving along the upper Bollinger Band in the $0.90 to $1.00 range after SD broke out of its consolidation range around $0.60. The volume increase confirms that there is strong support for this breakout.
Stader daily chart. Credit: crypto.news There may still be space for the rally before overbought levels are reached, according to the relative strength index, which is currently at 64.
If the token sustains support at $0.74, attention may return to $1.12, the level that capped gains earlier in the session. A clear move above that level could pave the way for a move toward $1.40, a resistance level that was tested earlier this year.
However, if recent support is broken, there is a chance that the price will drop back to $0.60, where the previous base of accumulation was formed.
**Stader Labs Discontinuing MaticX Operations, Unveils Redemption Timeline** June 13 — Liquidity staking protocol Stader Labs has officially announced it’s winding down MaticX. Starting today, MaticX will stop accepting new deposits and enter a “claim-only” state. Users can still redeem their MATIC holdings through the existing interface for now. The official MaticX DApp will be permanently taken offline on August 3, 2026. After that date, users won’t be able to use the web frontend and must complete all redemptions directly via Etherscan through Ethereum’s smart contract. A MaticX staking contract upgrade is scheduled for June 12–19, 2026. Around June 19, the exchange rate between MaticX and MATIC will lock in permanently — this will serve as the final settlement rate for all future redemption requests. Users who’ve already redeemed assets before this change won’t face any disruptions. Unredeemed users can keep claiming via the existing DApp or Etherscan, while redemption requests that were initiated but not yet sent to their wallets can still be processed later through the Etherscan contract. Between June 19 and August 3, 2026, the MaticX DApp will offer instant redemptions at the fixed locked-in rate. Once August 3, 2026 arrives, the MaticX frontend will shut down for good. However, users will still have three years from that date (until August 3, 2029) to withdraw assets directly via the Etherscan contract. Stader Labs says it will release a detailed, step-by-step Etherscan claiming tutorial ahead of the DApp closure to ensure users can complete their redemptions smoothly.

He stressed that the two differ significantly in collateral structure, asset coverage ratio, and redemption mechanism, noting "they are clearly completely different models."

Vanar Chain is partnering with Shelby American, a high-performance automobile manufacturer, to incorporate its brand into the Metaverse.
This news comes from an exclusive press release shared with BeInCrypto.
Shelby American And Vanar Chain UniteThese two firms are using the Metaverse to introduce these cars to a new class of enthusiasts. Shelby will use scalable Layer 1 blockchain technology from Vanar and its gaming platform Virtua to launch a new brand, the “Shelbyverse.” The Shelbyverse will also have a real-world impact, offering exclusive physical merchandise through a multi-platform initiative.
“Shelby American has always been about pushing boundaries in the automotive world, and we’re thrilled to help them bring that same pioneering spirit into Web3. We’re demonstrating what forward thinking brands can achieve in [the] digital space and ensuring… Shelby… is not only preserved but elevated in new and exciting ways,” said Jawad Ashraf, CEO at Vanar.
This collaboration between a luxury automobile manufacturer and the Web3 space is far from unique. For example, Lamborghini partnered with Animoca to launch Fast ForWorld, a Metaverse racing game, in October. By the end of the month, the collaboration was so successful that it attracted additional partners for further features.
Shelby and Vanar will not just shill a gimmicky venue to examine automobile specifications but instead offer a gamified experience through Virtua. Additionally, the press release claims that this experience will extend to other platforms, like Roblox, a very popular game creation platform that has already been involved in several Metaverse applications.
Although some sectors of the community have suggested that the Metaverse is dying out, gamified experiences like this are one of the strongest remaining growth areas. Shelby is not alone in making this gamble. Last month, FIFA also partnered up to launch a new NFT-based game.
“The future of Shelby isn’t just on the road—it’s in the digital world too. As Carroll Shelby always said when asked ‘what’s your favorite car?’ his answer was – the next one!” claimed M. Neil Cummings, Esq, Co-CEO of Carroll Shelby International.
Still, this collaboration with Vanar is far outside Shelby American’s usual comfort zone. This car company has greeted the challenge of Web3 modernization with enthusiasm and seems ready to expand to a new digital frontier.
Founded in 2019, BarnBridge is a protocol aimed at tokenizing risk, and it was launched in September 2020. BarnBridge is a type of decentralized finance (DeFi) platform designed to create exchangeable tokens that expose consumers to market volatility. As of March 2021, the platform is still in an early stage of its launch.
BarnBridge (BOND) ExplainedBarnBridge is a project that extends its functionality to make DeFi more flexible and efficient. By tokenizing market fluctuations and exposures to risks, it can reduce volatility for conservative investors or increase it for day traders. BarnBridge allows for traditional risk management tools and fixed-income instruments in the DeFi market. Its main focus is to slice crypto risks, enabling market participants to invest in different products or assets depending on their risk profiles.
Sustainable DeFi platforms like Compound (COMP) and Aave (AAVE) can provide over 5% annual return (APY) on some assets. With profitability optimizers like yEarn, the APY can exceed 10%. The disadvantage of these DeFi platforms is their inability to offer fixed income; moreover, adding cryptocurrencies to a portfolio means taking significant risks as crypto assets are highly volatile.
The advantage of BarnBridge is its ability to consolidate fixed-income returns and stabilize them to increase system efficiency. This opens up the crypto industry to a wider audience by making entry more personal and predictable for consumers. In terms of traditional finance, BarnBridge can also be used to enhance the efficiency of stock transactions.
On the other hand, BarnBridge creates tokenized derivatives based on market fluctuations. Examples of underlying markets include yield rates, prices, market prediction rates, default rates in mortgages, among others. These derivative tokens are divided into high, medium, and low risk/reward categories. BarnBridge can be described as an inter-platform risk token protocol with fixed income and volatility tranches.
How to Purchase BarnBridge Coin?BOND Coin can be purchased quickly and securely through Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platform by trading volume.
To buy BOND Coin, one must first register with Binance and then send fiat money. Following the transfer of a fiat currency like Turkish Lira or dollars, one can buy BOND in trading pairs with Bitcoin (BTC), BUSD, Binance Coin (BNB), and Tether (USDT).
In addition, on Binance, users can place an order to buy at a price lower than the market value by using the Limit tab. For this, you just need to enter the amount you want to buy and the price at which you want to buy it.
Crypto exchange Binance has announced it will no longer support four altcoins — BarnBridge (BOND), Dock (DOCK), Mdex (MDX), and Polkastar (POLS). Effective July 22 at 03:00 UTC, it will delist these altcoins, causing a sharp drop in their market value.
This price action reflects market sensitivity to exchange delistings and regulatory actions.
Altcoins Nosedive Following Binance Delisting AnnouncementImmediately following the announcement, the affected tokens saw significant price declines. Specifically, DOCK plummeted nearly 30%, MDX dropped by 23.65%, and BOND and POLS both experienced over 17% losses.
The delistings are part of Binance’s periodic review. Often, it adds the tokens under the monitoring tag before delisting them. For instance, on July 1, Binance included 11 altcoins under its monitoring tag, including DOCK and POLS.
“At Binance, we periodically review each digital asset we list to ensure that it continues to meet a high level of standard and industry requirements,” Binance explained.

BOND, DOCK, MDX, and POLS Price Performance. Source: TradingViewThe review focuses on several critical factors, such as the project team’s commitment, trading volume, liquidity, network security, and responsiveness to due diligence inquiries.
Trading pairs like BOND/BTC, BOND/USDT, DOCK/BTC, DOCK/USDT, MDX/USDT, and POLS/USDT will see a trading halt, and all existing trade orders will be automatically removed after delisting. Users must withdraw these tokens by October 22, 2024. If not, Binance might convert the delisted tokens into stablecoins, although this is not guaranteed and will be subject to a future notification.

Furthermore, Binance is making adjustments across various services to phase out these altcoins comprehensively. These changes include delisting from Binance Simple Earn and Auto-Invest, ending margin trading for these tokens, and removing them from Binance Convert and Binance Pay by predetermined dates.
Binance, one of the leading crypto exchanges, revealed its decision to delist all spot trading pairs for BarnBridge (BOND), Dock (DOCK), Mdex (MDX), and Polkastarter (POLS) by July 22, 2024. Notably, this unexpected move has sent ripples through the crypto market, leaving investors and traders in a state of speculation and concern. Here we explore the recent announcement and its potential implications on the cryptos.
Binance To Delist These 4 Major Crypto In its latest strategic review, Binance emphasized a commitment to maintaining high standards and adapting to market shifts. The delisting of BOND, DOCK, MDX, and POLS is driven by several factors that the exchange continuously monitors.
Meanwhile, these include project commitment, development activity, trading volume, network stability, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Binance’s decision reflects a proactive approach to managing its platform and protecting its users.
In addition, the delisting will specifically affect trading pairs BOND/BTC, BOND/USDT, DOCK/BTC, DOCK/USDT, MDX/USDT, and POLS/USDT. Once trading ceases, users will no longer see these tokens’ valuations in their wallets.
Notably, to manage their holdings, users should disable the “Hide Small Balances” option. Deposits of these tokens will not be credited post-July 23, and withdrawals will be unsupported after October 22, 2024.
Meanwhile, Binance has outlined a series of measures to handle the delisting. Binance Simple Earn will halt the token offerings by July 19, with automatic redemption into users’ Spot Wallets.
Similarly, Binance Auto-Invest will stop recurring investments by July 15, and VIP Loan will close all loan positions for these tokens by July 17. In addition, the Binance Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot and Margin services will also be impacted, with crucial deadlines for users to settle positions to avoid losses.
For instance, all BOND, DOCK, MDX, and POLS balances in Cross Margin Wallets will convert to USDT on July 17. Binance Convert will maintain a sell-only function until July 22.

What’s Next? The delisting news has stirred unease among crypto enthusiasts. Binance’s influence on the market is significant; its actions often drive market sentiment. While positive announcements from a crypto exchange like Binance can fuel market confidence, delisting or any other negative update can have the opposite effect, potentially eroding the market value of the affected tokens.
For instance, the removal of BOND, DOCK, MDX, and POLS could reduce liquidity and trading volume for these tokens, causing volatility. Investors are particularly wary as these assets might struggle to find new exchanges to list on or maintain their market presence.
The broader cryptocurrency ecosystem is also on alert. Binance’s decision underscores the dynamic nature of the crypto market, where regulatory compliance, project performance, and market health dictate listing decisions.
BOND Price As of writing, BOND price was down 26% to $1.57, while its trading volume rocketed 270% to $23.1 million. On the other hand, DOCK price plunged nearly 40%, and its one-day trading volume also skyrocketed 180% to $4.13 million. Simultaneously, MDEX price plummeted over 40%, while POLS price slumped about 20% today.

Introducing DIA Value: Intrinsic Valuation Oracle for Institutional DeFiWhen markets don’t exist, market oracles fail. DIA launches fully onchain fair-value pricing for assets from tokenized treasuries to yield-bearing tokens.
In 2020, decentralized finance experienced its Cambrian explosion. Uniswap enabled permissionless trading. Aave enabled permissionless lending. Within three years, DeFi grew to $100 billion in total value locked, all built on a core pricing assumption: assets trade continuously on liquid markets.
Then in 2024, Wall Street arrived.
BlackRock tokenized U.S. treasuries, crossing $500 million in the BUIDL fund within months.[1] Firms like Ondo Finance brought tokenized treasuries to Ethereum. By early 2025, over $50 billion in institutional capital had migrated onchain,[2] with projections from McKinsey, BCG, and others estimating the tokenized asset market could reach $2–16 trillion by 2030.[3]
But these assets share a characteristic: they don’t trade.
Tokenized treasuries don’t have order books. Fund NAV tokens don’t establish price through supply and demand. Yield-bearing tokens have redemption mechanisms encoded in smart contracts — their value isn’t what traders think, it’s what the protocol guarantees you can redeem.
And DeFi’s pricing infrastructure wasn’t designed to handle them.
The oracle space converged on a single architecture: market observation. Aggregate prices across exchanges, decentralize the aggregation through node networks, publish the result onchain. For Bitcoin, Ethereum, and liquid tokens, this works well.
But you cannot aggregate exchange prices when markets don’t exist. You cannot decentralize market data when liquidity is thin or fragmented. And you cannot discover price through trading when trading doesn’t happen.
The infrastructure that unlocked DeFi’s first $100 billion fundamentally cannot price its next trillion.
Market-based oracles solved a real problem: bringing external price data onchain. For assets that trade continuously with deep liquidity, the approach is sound. Implementations vary in how they source data, what transparency they offer, and how they handle edge cases, but the core model works when its assumptions hold.
Those assumptions are: continuous trading activity, deep enough liquidity to resist manipulation, and price discovery through supply and demand. For the new institutional asset classes entering DeFi, they collapse:
Asset Type Continuous Trading? Deep Liquidity? Market Price Discovery? Tokenized T-Bills ❌ ❌ ❌ Fund NAV Tokens ❌ ❌ ❌ Yield-Bearing Derivatives ⚠️ Sporadic ❌ ❌ Synthetic Stablecoins ⚠️ Sporadic ❌ ❌ Cross-Chain LP Tokens ❌ ❌ ❌ When these conditions are absent, market-based oracles face three choices, none of them good:
Aggregate thin, manipulable market data. If a tokenized asset has minimal secondary trading, aggregating those sparse data points creates vulnerability. Thin order books can be manipulated. Single-venue distortions propagate as truth. Stale prices from infrequent trades become risk management inputs.
This isn’t theoretical. On October 10, 2025, $19 billion in leveraged DeFi positions were liquidated in 24 hours.[4] Bitcoin flash-crashed from $126,000 to $103,000, and the cascade was amplified by oracle infrastructure propagating distorted price data from stressed markets into automated liquidation triggers.[5]
Fall back to proprietary data providers. When market data doesn’t exist, some oracle architectures allow protocols to pull from centralized APIs, effectively reintroducing the trust assumptions that decentralized infrastructure was supposed to eliminate.
Paul Frambot, Co-Founder and CEO at Morpho, analyzing RWA pricing challenges, concluded that since tokenized assets “don’t have secondary markets,” DeFi must rely on “trusted price providers.” He’s right that this is where market-based architecture logically ends up when markets disappear.
Simply don’t support the asset. The most common outcome. If an asset doesn’t fit the market-aggregation model, it doesn’t get priced. Over $100 billion in tokenized treasuries, yield-bearing tokens, stablecoins, and other institutional-grade digital assets currently lack sufficient liquidity for reliable market-based pricing.[6]
This isn’t a flaw in any particular implementation. It’s a structural limitation: no market-based oracle, regardless of how sophisticated, can produce manipulation-resistant pricing from markets that are thin, stressed, or nonexistent. The architecture works for liquid assets. For assets whose value is defined by contracts, reserves, or portfolios rather than by trading, it’s a mismatch.
Traditional finance solved illiquid asset pricing decades ago through intrinsic valuation.
When a mutual fund holds private equity or illiquid bonds, it calculates Net Asset Value: sum of all holdings marked at fair value, divided by shares outstanding. When banks value loan portfolios, they use mark-to-model: discounted cash flows and credit risk adjustments. When Circle proves USDC is worth $1.00, they provide reserve verification: auditable proof that $1 of reserves backs each token.
These methods work because they compute value from verifiable inputs rather than observing market trades.
Bringing this approach onchain was previously impractical. Traditional fair value methodologies relied on trusted intermediaries: fund administrators calculating NAV, auditors verifying reserves, risk models run by centralized entities. Blockchain changes this: smart contract states, reserve balances, exchange rates, redemption formulas, and yield accruals can now serve as direct inputs for fair value computation with a degree of transparency that traditional finance never had.
DIA Value is the infrastructure we built for this. It delivers intrinsic fair-value pricing for assets where market data is absent, unreliable, or exploitable. Rather than reporting trades that can be manipulated, Value computes fundamental value from the most direct, verifiable data sources available, applying the same valuation logic that traditional finance has relied on for decades.
Value already powers fair value pricing across lending, stablecoins, and tokenized securities, including integrations with Euler, Morpho, Silo, Hydration, and others.
DIA Value implements five fundamental valuation methodologies:
Net Asset Value (NAV): For tokenized funds holding portfolios of assets. Aggregates fair value of all underlying holdings, applies fees and liabilities, divides by token supply. Proof of Reserves (PoR): For stablecoins and wrapped assets. Verifies reserves equal or exceed circulating supply. Value proven by backing, not trading. Contract Exchange Rate (CER): For yield-bearing tokens (stETH, aTokens). Reads redemption rate directly from protocol smart contracts. Value is what the contract guarantees you can redeem. Reserve-Backing Ratio (RBR): For algorithmic stablecoins and synthetic assets. Computes value based on ratio of collateral reserves to outstanding supply. Redemption Value (RV): For assets with programmatic redemption mechanisms. Calculates the value you would receive by executing the redemption function. Each methodology is designed to maximize pricing independence by deriving value from the most direct source available, whether that’s onchain smart contract state, reserve balances, or authoritative reference data for off-chain backing assets such as tokenized fund NAVs. In some cases, particularly for assets backed by off-chain reserves, Value integrates these inputs transparently, so protocols and users can see exactly how each price is computed and what data sources it relies on.
When a protocol queries Value for a tokenized treasury fund price, the system:
Reads the fund’s smart contract to enumerate holdings Prices each holding using the appropriate methodology Applies fees and liabilities encoded in the contract Returns per-share NAV with full calculation transparency A market-based oracle can’t do this because it’s looking for trades that don’t exist. Value computes intrinsic value from verifiable facts.
To be clear: this does not replace market oracles for liquid assets. DIA’s own market-based oracle, Market, handles pricing for assets with observable trading activity, sourcing data directly from exchanges. Value complements that foundation for assets whose value is defined by contracts, reserves, or portfolios rather than by trading.
Market-based oracles answer: “What did the last trade say?” Fair value oracles answer: “What is this asset fundamentally worth?”
Use Case Market Oracle Approach Intrinsic Value Approach Tokenized T-Bills Aggregate thin secondary trades (stale, manipulable) Compute redemption value from treasury contract + yield accrual Fund NAV Tokens Report last trade price (may be days old) Calculate real-time NAV from portfolio holdings Yield-Bearing Tokens Observe stETH/ETH pair (deviates from redemption) Read exchange rate directly from Lido contract Stablecoins Assume $1.00 or use thin DEX prices Verify reserves and compute backing ratio This shift unlocks capabilities that market-based oracles structurally cannot provide:
Institutional-grade collateral acceptance. Lending protocols can accept tokenized treasuries and fund shares as collateral based on auditable intrinsic value rather than manipulable secondary market prices. Euler’s recent integration demonstrates this in practice.
Regulatory-compliant fair value accounting. Fair value measurement standards (IFRS 13, ASC 820) explicitly require intrinsic valuation methods when markets are inactive. Value’s methodologies align with these frameworks.
Manipulation resistance through architecture. October 10th demonstrated that market-based oracles remain vulnerable when underlying markets are stressed. Fair value computation sidesteps this: you cannot game NAV calculation by moving thin order books.
Cross-chain pricing without fragmented liquidity. When an asset exists on multiple chains, market-based oracles face fragmented liquidity. Fair value oracles compute redemption value once from the canonical contract and publish everywhere. The value is the same because it’s derived from fundamental backing, not chain-specific trading.
What Value doesn’t solve:
It’s worth being clear about the boundaries. Value solves fair value for assets with verifiable data sources. Remaining challenges are governance and trust boundary questions, not architecture failures:
Off-chain reserves (e.g., Circle’s bank accounts) still require attestation. Value makes attestation auditable, but trust in the attester remains. Cross-chain verification depends on bridge security. Disputed valuation formulas for complex derivatives may have competing fair value models. Value executes formulas transparently, but choosing the right formula requires governance. Smart contract risk: if the contract is wrong, the valuation is wrong. Value surfaces this transparently rather than obscuring it, but the risk exists. When pricing infrastructure no longer depends on market liquidity, new capabilities open up across DeFi.
Lending protocols accept tokenized treasuries without oracle risk. Vault platforms can offer rates against tokenized fund shares based on auditable NAV, not whether someone traded yesterday.
Stablecoins verify reserves across complex, multi-chain structures. Next-generation stablecoins hold diversified portfolios of yield-bearing tokens and cross-chain assets. Value makes real-time reserve verification possible even when components are illiquid or fragmented.
Asset managers tokenize funds with real-time NAV onchain. Traditional funds calculate NAV once daily. Onchain funds can compute real-time NAV continuously, but only if the pricing infrastructure handles illiquid holdings and cross-chain positions.
Institutions meet regulatory fair value requirements without centralized intermediaries. The shift from centralized API providers to verifiable intrinsic computation is the difference between traditional finance with a blockchain wrapper and genuinely decentralized institutional infrastructure.
Risk curators build sophisticated credit models without market dependency. Professional risk managers, from established firms to emerging specialists, need to model scenarios, stress-test collateral, and assess fundamental value independent of market panic. Fair value infrastructure gives them the primitives to do this properly.
Bitcoin sitting idle is a trillion-dollar opportunity cost. hemiBTC lets holders deploy BTC productively into DeFi, but that only works if the pricing layer can verify the actual Bitcoin backing each token onchain. DIA Value does exactly that, no secondary market dependency, no centralized attestations. It's the kind of infrastructure that makes Bitcoin-native DeFi viable: fully trustless and verifiable.

When you operate a stablecoin across four chains, pricing fragmentation becomes a real engineering problem. DIA Value solved this for us by computing USDp's fair value directly from onchain redemption data, reading collateral composition and redemption curves from our smart contracts.

Fundamental pricing methodologies will drive the next wave of institutional capital being deployed onchain. It is a prerequisite that has been missing from DeFi’s infrastructure stack, and its arrival expands the addressable market for oracle infrastructure significantly beyond price feeds.
Market-based oracles gave DeFi the rails to price liquid markets. Value gives DeFi the foundation to price everything else.
The shift from market observation to intrinsic computation expands what oracle infrastructure can do, specifically into the asset classes that institutional DeFi needs priced to grow.
DIA’s fundamental valuation oracle computes USDh’s fair value directly from its Bitcoin and stablecoin reserves, replacing market-based pricing with verifiable reserve verification on Stacks.
Hermetica builds Bitcoin yield infrastructure on Stacks. Its stablecoin, USDh, is backed by a combination of BTC and stablecoin reserves held by the protocol. Users can earn yield on their Bitcoin through Hermetica’s products while USDh serves as the stable unit of account in the system.
USDh’s value is defined by what backs it: verifiable reserves of Bitcoin and stablecoins. For an asset with this structure, the architecturally correct pricing approach is to compute value directly from the reserves, not to observe secondary market trades. Market-based pricing can be a reasonable methodology in certain cases, but reserve verification is the methodology that matches how the asset actually works.
For lending protocols like Zest that integrate USDh into their contracts, pricing accuracy directly affects position health calculations, collateral valuations, and liquidation logic. The price feed needs to reflect what USDh is fundamentally worth based on its backing, updated reliably and transparently.
DIA's oracle infrastructure and Hermetica's reserve-backed design are complementary. Bitcoin DeFi no longer needs to rely on volatile market-based pricing. Instead, institutions and individuals alike can benefit from the manipulation-resistant fair value price for USDh that DIA enables.
Jakob
Founder & CEO, Hermetica
DIA deploys a Reserve-Backing Ratio (RBR) fundamental feed for USDh through the DIA Value oracle. Instead of observing secondary market trades, the oracle computes fair value directly from Hermetica’s reserve composition.
The process works as follows. The oracle reads the current state of Hermetica’s reserves, including BTC holdings and stablecoin balances, from the protocol’s backing data. It then compares total reserve value against USDh circulating supply. If reserves meet or exceed supply, USDh is priced at $1.00. If reserves fall below supply, the oracle reflects the actual backing ratio, pricing USDh at $1.00 multiplied by the fraction of reserves over outstanding supply.
This means the price USDh carries onchain is always derived from what actually backs it, not from what someone last paid for it on a DEX.
The feed is live on the Stacks public good oracle, where any protocol or user can query the USDh/USD value in real time.
The transition from market observation to reserve verification reflects a broader principle. Bitcoin-backed stablecoins derive their value from their reserves, not from trading. The correct oracle methodology for this asset class is one that computes value from verifiable backing data, just as traditional finance prices money market funds from their NAV rather than from secondary trades.
DIA Value’s RBR methodology makes this computation transparent and continuous. Lending protocols consuming the feed can trust that the price reflects verified reserve backing. This is especially important during periods of broader market volatility, when the value of stablecoins needs to be anchored to fundamentals rather than short-term market dynamics.
The integration also demonstrates a broader pattern in how stablecoin pricing infrastructure needs to evolve. As more stablecoins adopt complex reserve structures spanning multiple asset types and chains, the ability to compute fair value from verifiable backing data becomes a prerequisite for institutional adoption, not a nice-to-have.
DIA delivers market price feeds for satUSD across five chains and fundamental valuation for satUSD+, giving lending markets and vault strategies verifiable pricing for River’s stablecoin ecosystem.
River operates a chain-abstraction stablecoin system built around satUSD, an over-collateralized stablecoin backed by BTC, ETH, BNB, and liquid staking tokens. Users who stake satUSD receive satUSD+, a yield-bearing token that compounds automatically while remaining composable across DeFi.
This creates a pricing challenge that a single oracle approach cannot solve.
satUSD trades on secondary markets across multiple chains. For this asset, market-based pricing works: aggregate trades, filter outliers, publish the result. But satUSD+ is different. Its value is defined by what the staking contract pays out, not by what someone last traded it for on a DEX. Thin secondary markets for yield-bearing tokens are vulnerable to manipulation, and stale trade data misinforms the risk models that lending protocols and vault curators depend on.
River needed both: reliable market pricing for satUSD and intrinsic valuation for satUSD+.
DIA provides market price feeds for satUSD on Ethereum, BNB Chain, BOB, Arbitrum, and Base, matching River’s omni-CDP architecture, where users deposit collateral on one chain and mint satUSD on another via LayerZero. Pricing infrastructure has to follow the asset wherever it goes.
Each feed is powered by DIA’s Decentralized Feeder Network, where independent feeders scrape real-time trade data directly from the exchanges where satUSD trades, aggregate it through a verifiable two-step process on DIA’s own blockchain, and deliver the result onchain. No intermediary data vendors, no opaque pipelines. Protocols consuming the feed can trace every price back to its source trades.
For satUSD+, DIA deploys a fundamental feed using the Contract Exchange Rate (CER) methodology from DIA Value. Rather than observing secondary market trades, the feed reads the satUSD+/satUSD exchange rate directly from the vault contract on BNB Chain, computing fair value from what the protocol actually guarantees you can redeem.
This means lending markets and vault strategies integrating satUSD+ can price the asset based on verifiable onchain data rather than sparse DEX activity. The distinction matters most precisely when it matters most: during periods of market stress, when thin order books deviate furthest from fundamental value.
satUSD+ is a yield-bearing stablecoin, and its value is defined by what the protocol's staking contract actually pays out, not by what someone last traded it for on a DEX. DIA Value computes that fair value directly from onchain data, which means lending markets and vault strategies integrating satUSD+ can verify the price they're seeing. For an omnichain stablecoin system like ours, that reliability is non-negotiable.
River Core Team
Full contract addresses and integration guides are available in River’s documentation.
River’s TVL and cross-chain architecture make it a clear example of why oracle infrastructure needs to go beyond market observation.
As professional risk curators and capital allocators evaluate yield-bearing stablecoins for vault strategies, they need pricing they can model against. A last-trade price from a low-liquidity DEX pair is not that. A verifiable exchange rate read from the issuing contract is.
DIA Value’s fundamental valuation methodologies exist precisely for this category of asset: tokens whose value is defined by contracts, reserves, or portfolios rather than by trading. River’s satUSD+ is a textbook case of the Contract Exchange Rate methodology in action, and the integration demonstrates how market feeds and fundamental feeds work as complements within a single protocol’s oracle stack.
Fundamental and market price feeds for USDp and sUSDp now live across Hyperevm, Base, and Avalanche
Parallel Protocol has integrated DIA Value to deliver verifiable onchain price feeds for its stablecoin system. The integration covers both USDp and its yield-bearing wrapper sUSDp across four networks, and is live in production.
USDp is a collateral-backed stablecoin deployed across Hyperevm, Base, and Avalanche. That multichain footprint creates a pricing problem that market-based oracles handle poorly: liquidity is fragmented across chains, thin order books invite manipulation, and yield-bearing wrappers like sUSDp require chain-local vault rate accounting that single-price feeds don’t support.
The integration provides two complementary feed types:
Fundamental feeds compute USDp’s fair value directly from onchain redemption data. The oracle reads collateral composition and redemption curves from Parallel’s smart contracts in real time, producing a price that reflects what USDp can actually be redeemed for rather than what a thin secondary market last traded. For sUSDp, the fundamental feed multiplies the USDp benchmark by the chain-local vault exchange rate, keeping the price accurate per deployment.
Market feeds provide a separate USDp price sourced directly from trading venues, published under a distinct key so protocols can choose the methodology appropriate for their use case.
Both feeds are available via AggregatorV3-compatible adapters across all four chains.
When you operate a stablecoin across four chains, pricing fragmentation becomes a real engineering problem. DIA Value solved this for us by computing USDp's fair value directly from onchain redemption data, reading collateral composition and redemption curves from our smart contracts. One verifiable fundamental price, consistent everywhere. That's what lets integrators treat USDp as reliable collateral without building custom pricing logic per chain.
