Somnia is integrating with Gearbox Protocol to enable SOMI and USDC markets, giving users access to leveraged DeFi strategies and credit accounts on the highest-performance EVM blockchain. Gearbox will also participate in the Somnia Liquidity Points program, meaning early users can earn rewards while exploring these new leverage capabilities.
Gearbox Protocol has established itself as a leader in composable leverage, processing over $1.5 billion in assets through its curator network. Unlike traditional leverage platforms that confine users to internal order books, Gearbox operates as a credit layer that allows borrowed capital to flow across the broader DeFi ecosystem.
With this integration, SOMI holders will have the option of using Gearbox’s credit accounts, where users can deposit SOMI as collateral and borrow against it to execute leveraged strategies across DeFi protocols. This brings new utility to the SOMI token and gives holders additional opportunities for putting their assets to work.
With Gearbox Protocol, Somniacs can maintain exposure to SOMI while accessing liquidity to trade, provide liquidity, or deploy capital across multiple protocols at the same time. The credit account model allows these operations to happen through a single interface rather than requiring users to manage separate positions across different platforms.
Gearbox handles the complexity of margin management, liquidation thresholds, and position monitoring. Users interact with a credit account that automatically manages collateral ratios and exposure limits based on the assets they’ve deposited. For someone holding SOMI who wants to participate in a yield opportunity on another protocol, this removes the friction of unwinding positions or fragmenting capital across multiple wallets.
Gearbox has an established user base that understands leverage, knows how to manage risk, and actively seeks opportunities to deploy capital efficiently. The integration creates a pathway for these DeFi users to discover Somnia through a familiar interface. Someone using Gearbox on another chain can now access SOMI and USDC markets, start building positions, and gradually explore what else exists in the ecosystem.
Leveraged DeFi strategies generate massive volumes of onchain activity. Many leverage protocols struggle with this volume because they’re built on infrastructure where every action carries meaningful latency and cost.
Somnia’s architecture changes this calculus. When a protocol can process over 1 million transactions per second with sub-second finality and sub-cent fees, the constraints that normally limit leveraged strategies start to disappear. Sophisticated trades that involve multiple steps, continuous rebalancing, or frequent position adjustments become viable in ways they aren’t on slower chains.
This applies to automated strategies that might rebalance dozens of times per day, structured products that need to adjust positions based on real-time data feeds, or credit protocols that need to perform constant health checks across thousands of positions. Gearbox strategies that would be prohibitively expensive to run elsewhere become practical on Somnia because the infrastructure can handle the transaction volume these operations generate.
Beyond individual users deploying leverage, Gearbox functions as composable infrastructure that ecosystem projects can integrate without building their own credit systems.
This approach reduces development time and security risk. Credit systems are notoriously difficult to build safely because they involve managing other people’s money under volatile market conditions. By using Gearbox as infrastructure, projects get code that’s been stress-tested across multiple market cycles rather than building their own systems that might have undiscovered vulnerabilities.
For gaming specifically, this opens new design space. A battle royale game could let players leverage their token holdings to enter higher-stakes tournaments. A strategy game could enable borrowing against in-game assets to fund expansion. A prediction market could offer leveraged positions on match outcomes. These features would typically require extensive DeFi expertise to implement safely, but Gearbox makes them accessible to game developers who understand their players but don’t necessarily understand the complexities of DeFi.
Somnia will provide $5 million in initial liquidity to activate the SOMI and USDC markets, giving users sufficient depth to execute strategies without excessive slippage.
This initial liquidity serves as a foundation rather than a permanent commitment. As users deploy capital and market makers add liquidity, the markets will develop their own depth and trading activity. The goal is to reach a point where the markets are self-sustaining, with enough participants that the initial bootstrap capital becomes a small fraction of total liquidity.
Invariant, a leading multichain AMM DEX, will act as a curator, setting parameters like collateral ratios, borrowing limits, and risk thresholds. These parameters determine how much users can leverage, which assets can serve as collateral, and when positions face liquidation. Getting these settings right is important because overly conservative parameters limit utility while overly aggressive ones create systemic risk.
Gearbox’s participation in the Somnia Liquidity Points program means users who provide liquidity or engage with the new markets can earn rewards. Adding Gearbox to the mix gives users another avenue to accumulate points while accessing professional-grade leverage infrastructure.
If you haven’t joined the Liquidity Points program yet, now is the time. Visit the Somnia Liquidity Points dashboard to connect your wallet, explore eligible pools, and start earning.
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that acts as a secure bridge between blockchains and the real world. Chainlink has announced its strategic integration with Gearbox protocol, a generalized, composable leverage protocol for lending assets across various decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. The main purpose of this integration is to ensure accurate pricing for Gearbox’s AUSD, MON, and USDC markets on Monad.
Chainlink is renowned worldwide for its efficient work in connecting blockchains with the real world. On the other hand, Gearbox is also facilitating users in terms of lending across DeFi, as per the source, Gearbox holds over $ 175 M in total value locked. This figure also supports the efficient and trusted services by Gearbox. Chainlink has released this news through its official X account.
Chainlink and Gearbox Alliance Elevates DeFi Security on Monad The alliance of Gearbox protocol and Chainlink price feeds will empower the whole infrastructure, especially for AUSD, earnAUSD, MON, and the largest USDC liquidity pool on monad. Chainlink helps Gearbox by reducing liquidation errors in accurate asset pricing. This will happen with Chainlink’s specialized features for price feed, and at the same time, open a smooth and safer leverage and credit account operation.
In this integration, Monad, which is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain, plays its role to solve the problems related to Ethereum’s scalability. This integration is basically to enhance the DeFi security system on Monad for serving humanity.
Building a More Secure DeFi Ecosystem Chainlink and Gearbox ally to change the security infrastructure for users’ safety and trust all over the world without any errors. Both platforms have a huge number of users that support the efforts of both platforms, which always have only one aim: to bring beneficial innovation for users.
Moreover, their security is much stronger, and for that purpose, they never believe in any other third party for holding users’ details. In short, this integration is purely based on bringing safer, more scalable, and ready for larger capital inflows.

Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10

The entire cryptocurrency market is down across the board; funding rates indicate BTC remains in bearish territory, while ETH’s bullish sentiment is significantly stronger than BTC’s.
According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,684.51, down 1.88% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is at $1,647.36, down 1.48% over the same period. Current funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) show a clear divergence between BTC and ETH: BTC rates across all platforms have fallen back into bearish territory, while ETH rates on most platforms remain above the neutral range, indicating significantly stronger bullish sentiment for ETH than BTC. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. They serve as a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees, instead using them to adjust the cost or return of traders holding contracts, so that contract prices stay close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is the benchmark. A rate above 0.01% indicates broad bullish market sentiment, while a rate below 0.005% signals widespread bearish sentiment.

Silver plunged 6% intraday, breaching the defense of long positions, as a smart money entity reaped $2.16 million in shorting profits.
According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the Silver (SILVER) contract on Hyperliquid is currently priced at $56.78, down 6.34% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of $263 million, ranking first in the precious metals sector. Driven by gold prices falling below $4,000 and safe-haven funds flowing back into chip stocks, short sellers have reaped significant profits. Notably, smart money address 0x49e has been shorting Silver on 3x leverage since April 29 at a high of $78.79, holding a position worth $5.77 million, and has already booked a precise profit of $2.16 million (+81%). On-chain Silver whales are overall bearish: the nominal position size of short sellers is approximately 1.5 times that of long positions. The average entry price for short positions is around $65.05, and the current price is 12.7% lower than this level. Long positions are overall trapped, with an average entry price of about $59.75, roughly 5% above the current price. Current short sellers have sufficient safety margins: the nearest short liquidation line stands at $77.18, some 36% above the current price, meaning short sellers face almost no liquidation pressure.

In the past week, the DODO decentralized exchange has witnessed trading volumes increase by around 8%. Meanwhile, most DeXs have moved in the opposite direction. After a strong March, Uniswap, Pancakeswap, and Curve all saw a decline in trading activity in April. In recent weeks, DODO has witnessed surging trading volumes, even bucking the broad slowdown in DeFi activity that has affected most of its peers in April
Launched in 2020, the decentralized exchange (DeX) offers an alternative take on the traditional Automated Market Maker (AMM) paradigm. Does its recent success mean the Proactive Market Maker (PMM) concept has finally caught on?
AMM vs. PMM: Understanding the Difference Following the model established by Uniswap, classic DeXs rely on AMMs to facilitate trades, automatically setting prices based on the ratio of assets within liquidity pools.
While this approach has fueled the growth of modern DeFi, the Uniswap take on AMMs has some disadvantages.
For starters, liquidity providers put themselves at risk of impermanent loss, which occurs when the relative value of assets in a liquidity pool changes over time.
Due to the risk of impermanent loss, liquidity providers are typically less inclined to deposit volatile tokens into pools. This is why the largest pools on Uniswap consist of pairs of relatively stable assets.
To solve this problem, DODO developed a more strategic form of AMM that proactively adjusts prices to maintain a more balanced ratio of assets in a given liquidity pool.
DODO Trading Volume Surges as Other DeXs Stagnate Since February, DODO’s trading volume has been steadily climbing across the different blockchains it is deployed on.
After a strong March, in the past week, it has witnessed an 8.2% increase in trading volume when almost every major DeX has seen activity decline.
DeX trading volumes have declined in April. Source: DeFiLlama. After a strong March, Uniswap volumes have dropped in April. Meanwhile, the second and third most popular platforms – PancakeSwap and Curve – have seen volumes decline by more than 16%, falling to some of the lowest levels seen since February.
However, the DODO exchange’s performance is not reflected in the price of its eponymous native token. In the last month, DODO has lost roughly a quarter of its value during a period in which Bitcoin has fallen by less than 4%.

DODO (DODO), an on-chain liquidity provider, has unveiled the launch of DODOchain, an industry-first Omni-Trading Layer3 powered by Arbitrum Orbit, EigenLayer, and AltLayer.
DODOchain bridges Layer2 networks of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), consolidating liquidity from various chains into a unified platform.
The vision behind DODOchain is to create a seamless, efficient, and secure ecosystem for cross-chain trading and liquidity sharing, enabling users to issue, trade, and manage their assets across different blockchains.
DODO’s exponential growth The primary goal of DODOchain is to enhance trading opportunities for users by enabling token trading and restaking, all within a rollup-level liquidity layer.
The inception of DODOchain was made possible by the success of DODO’s Proactive Market Maker (PMM) algorithm.
Introduced in August 2020, the PMM algorithm significantly improved liquidity concentration around oracle prices, enhancing capital efficiency and exchange rates.
The release of DODO V2 in February 202, with diverse liquidity pools and additional features like DODOX and Limit Orders, also helped expand DODO’s capabilities.
Currently deployed on 14 blockchains, DODO has facilitated over $141 billion in total trading volume, with more than 24 million transactions and 3.31 million cumulative users.
A more streamlined user experience Recognizing the ever-evolving nature of the blockchain landscape, DODO identified challenges facing Layer2 solutions, such as fragmented liquidity, high costs, security risks, etc.
With the increasing demand for cross-chain transactions, the team saw the necessity for a transformative solution.

This collaboration brings together two crucial components for the development and efficiency of DeFi, integrating DODO’s proactive market maker (PMM) technology into Steer’s automated liquidity management infrastructure.
This partnership is set to advance liquidity management in DeFi, creating smarter, AI-focused strategies that enhance capital efficiency and improve profits for liquidity providers across multi-chain ecosystems.
Excited to announce our partnership with @SteerProtocol!
Their ALM infrastructure and AI-driven automation bring the precision and adaptability needed for sustainable market-making — empowering DODO to optimize liquidity across multi-chain deployments.#DeFi #DEX pic.twitter.com/x8AypXBoUR
— DODO (@BreederDodo) June 3, 2025 Collaborating for smarter liquidity management Steer Protocol, a major decentralized off-chain compute protocol, streamlines the development and scaling of data-driven, omni-chain applications on Web3 networks. Its strong infrastructure provides developers with the ability to automate smart contracts using real-world data and develop data-driven automation. Using this technology, Steer helps to efficiently create new DeFi applications, including liquidity renting, trading, lending, perpetuals, options, liquidity management, and many more.
On the other hand, DODO is a decentralized network and on-chain liquidity provider that leverages a PPM (proactive market maker) algorithm to provide better liquidity and price stability than conventional AMMs (automated market makers).
By integrating Steer Protocol’s ALM infrastructure and AI-driven automation, DODO brings the precision and adaptability required for sustainable market-making to its ecosystem. This integration empowers DODO to optimize liquidity across multi-chain deployments. Also, through this approach, DODO improves its abilities with real-time, AI-integrated liquidity management, offering innovative tools to liquidity providers to enhance capital efficiency and maneuver volatile markets.
Paradigm shift This partnership brings a paradigm shift enabling AI-driven liquidity management. Traditional liquidity management normally depends on rigid strategies that are often ineffective and labor-intensive.
This collaboration brings a new approach that unites Steer’s ALM infrastructure with AI-driven automation with DODO’s proactive market maker (PMM) infrastructure to deliver advanced, automated liquidity management. Using DODO’s advanced market maker technology, Steer’s AI technology reorganizes liquidity automatically and intelligently, enabling consistent fee generation, improving capital efficiency, and reducing risks.
Through this approach, AI can predict when prices may change massively and modify liquidity bands correctly. AI can narrow ranges to take advantage of expected trading activity or widen them to minimize risks during volatile moments. This technology ensures that liquidity providers remain well-positioned without interruptions.
In other words, Steer’s AI technology automatically readjusts liquidity positions and ensures that they are always active and profitable. This integration supports DODO’s objective of reducing slippage and creating bigger, more efficient trades across multi-chain deployments while providing liquidity providers with a more effective approach to earning.

If you want to use a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) you are in luck. There are loads of DEXs out there to help you. But DODO is a DEX with some innovative features that deserves a look. It also caters to projects that need to mint and offer tokens without a lot of hassle. If you don’t know much about DODO, you should keep on reading!
DODO Delivers Unique Ideas Table of Contents
DODO Delivers Unique IdeasMultiple Chains SupportedThe DODO Proactive Market Maker (PMM) AlgorithmDODO’s FeaturesDODO Vending MachineDODO Private PoolDODO: Token CreationDODO – The Winning DEX With Something For Everyone DODO sees itself as an innovator in the DEX space. It describes the platform as a, “liquidity protocol powered by the Proactive Market Maker Algorithm and built for capital efficiency.” In reality it is a lot more than a trading tool that competes with centralized exchanges.
When it comes to trading, it offers a unique Proactive Market Maker (PMM) algorithm that works to make on-chain liquidity as efficient as possible for Web3 assets. It applies to trading, but also to anyone who wants to issue Web3 assets.
Like most of the DEXs, DODO also offers staking opportunities. It also has features aimed at NFT issuers and traders. In fact, for token issuers DODO is one of the most compelling options across the board!
Multiple Chains Supported DODO’s DEX started off as an ETH based platform, but it has grown to support most of the leading blockchains. The swaps on DODO are as easy to do as on any other DEX, and most users will find more than enough liquidity to maintain competitive pricing.
DODO supports:
ETH Arbitrum HECO Polygon OKC Aurora BSC Moonriver Boba Using the exchange requires a wallet like MetaMask, or other wallets including Math Wallet, TokenPocket, MetaMask Mobile, Coin98 Wallet, imToken, BitKeep, or Trust Wallet. Other wallets may be supported as well, so check with DODO if you need to know more.
The DODO Proactive Market Maker (PMM) Algorithm DODO sets itself apart from the DEX pack with its Proactive Market Maker (PMM) Algorithm. Other popular DEXs use an Automated Market Maker (AMM) Algorithm, which DODO thinks lacks the efficiency that its PMM offers.
With DODO’s PMM, impermanent loss is removed from trades and liquidity improves, at least that is the goal. It’s true that many AMM models are basic and outdated, so the PMM is worth a look. The DODO PMM does adapt to market conditions in real-time, which seems like a plus for traders.
For most users, popular assets will trade without much slippage and will be totally liquid.
Trades are fast, and with the PMM operating via Chainlink oracles, the pricing is extremely competitive. DODO has extensive documentation on how the PMM works, and why it thinks the PMM is a better option than the AMMs in use on other DEXs.
DODO: The Chainlink Connection
DODO uses Chainlink oracles to establish pricing information for its PMM. As one of the best oracle platforms in the blockchain space, the Chainlink data is a great asset to the PMM. However, if you don’t love the idea of Chainlink being at the center of the pricing model, you may not love the DODO PMM system.
DODO’s Features DODO is a lot more than a simple DEX. It offers loads of features to Liquidity Providers (LPs), traders, and other crypto professionals.
Here are some of the great features on the DODO DEX platform:
DODO for LPs
DODO offers some cool features for LPs on the platform. LPs don’t have to hold both sides of a token pair to participate in a liquidity pool. For example, if you want to provide liquidity for ETH/USDT, you can choose to stake ETH, USDT or both. You don’t have to hold both to participate, which is an advantage over other DEXs.
DODO Mobile
DODO offers loads of features on its mobile trading interface. You don’t have to be at a desktop to use DODO, which operates on many of the best decentralized wallets.
Gasless Swaps
For swaps on both ETH and BNB chain, DODO users can use gasless swaps. The swaps are sent to a pro market maker with huge liquidity, so you don’t have to pay any gas fees.
Trading Tools
There are loads of trading settings to choose from on the DODO exchange. You just have to jump into your settings panel, and set up your trading tools in any way you like.
Here are some of the tools you can change to fit your preferences:
Transaction Deadline: You can choose how long a transaction is given to complete. If the transaction isn’t completed by the deadline you set, it will be canceled automatically.
Slippage Tolerance: There will always be a difference between the live market price and the price you are quoted. You can set a low slippage tolerance to keep slippage low. Keep in mind that you will need to allow some slippage in this setting, otherwise your trades will fail.
Private Swap: You can avoid sandwich attacks that happen due to a mismatch between your slippage settings and the price in a liquidity pool by using the private swap feature.
Disable Indirect Routing: If you want to make sure that you only use the tokens needed for your swap, and avoid third or fourth tokens, use this feature. You avoid extra gas fees, and also limit other traders’ ability to frontrun your trade.
Expert Mode: You may receive alerts when token slippage is high. Especially with smaller tokens, slippage is a real risk. If the token slippage is over 20%, you will need to use expert mode to approve transactions.
SmartTrade: With smart trade, DODO looks for the best order routes from aggregating liquidity sources. You will get attractive prices with the deepest liquidity possible.
DODO Vending Machine If you want to create a liquidity market for a token, you can use the DODO vending machine. It allows any wallet to create a non-custodial, decentralized market that anyone can access. For anyone who wants to create a token and sell it, this is a neat option.
The cool thing about the DODO vending machine is that it’s permissionless. DODO will let anyone create a token and sell it. There is no censorship, so marketing a new token with this feature is a breeze.
DODO Private Pool For anyone who needs more control over a liquidity pool, the DODO Private Pool is a compelling option. It provides more features, such as:
Constant price market Avoiding downside risk Active price discovery Return traditional AMM model Crowdpooling
If you need a way to distribute tokens in an equitable way, the Crowdpooling feature on DODO is a winner. It prevents frontrunning and other tricks, so everyone gets the tokens they deserve.
DODO: Token Creation Creating tokens with DODO is a snap. You can issue tokens on a variety of blockchains with DODO. Then, if you want to start selling them, just hit the DODO vending machine!
Here are the fees for creating tokens with DODO:
ETH: 0.02 ETH Arbitrum: 0.002 ETH BSC: 0.05 BNB Moonriver: 0.05 MOVR HECO: 5 HT Polygon: 1 MATIC OKchain: 0.1 OKT Boba: 0.002 ETH Avalanche: 0.1 AVAX DODO – The Winning DEX With Something For Everyone DODO is a great DEX that offers more to traders and token issuers than simple swaps. It’s not hard to use for anyone who is new to the space. It also has loads of advanced features that make it a pro-level tool. You can learn more about DODO on its X account, and see how the platform is committed to leading the DEX space!

SK Hynix stock price surge expands to 14.7%, Samsung Electronics rises 6%
Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10

The entire cryptocurrency market is down across the board; funding rates indicate BTC remains in bearish territory, while ETH’s bullish sentiment is significantly stronger than BTC’s.
According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,684.51, down 1.88% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is at $1,647.36, down 1.48% over the same period. Current funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) show a clear divergence between BTC and ETH: BTC rates across all platforms have fallen back into bearish territory, while ETH rates on most platforms remain above the neutral range, indicating significantly stronger bullish sentiment for ETH than BTC. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. They serve as a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees, instead using them to adjust the cost or return of traders holding contracts, so that contract prices stay close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is the benchmark. A rate above 0.01% indicates broad bullish market sentiment, while a rate below 0.005% signals widespread bearish sentiment.

Silver plunged 6% intraday, breaching the defense of long positions, as a smart money entity reaped $2.16 million in shorting profits.
According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the Silver (SILVER) contract on Hyperliquid is currently priced at $56.78, down 6.34% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of $263 million, ranking first in the precious metals sector. Driven by gold prices falling below $4,000 and safe-haven funds flowing back into chip stocks, short sellers have reaped significant profits. Notably, smart money address 0x49e has been shorting Silver on 3x leverage since April 29 at a high of $78.79, holding a position worth $5.77 million, and has already booked a precise profit of $2.16 million (+81%). On-chain Silver whales are overall bearish: the nominal position size of short sellers is approximately 1.5 times that of long positions. The average entry price for short positions is around $65.05, and the current price is 12.7% lower than this level. Long positions are overall trapped, with an average entry price of about $59.75, roughly 5% above the current price. Current short sellers have sufficient safety margins: the nearest short liquidation line stands at $77.18, some 36% above the current price, meaning short sellers face almost no liquidation pressure.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced a major drug-related money laundering case: Li Moubo laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after combined punishment for multiple crimes.
On June 25, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) held a press conference. Miao Shengming, SPP’s deputy procurator-general, stated that procuratorial organs are thoroughly investigating both self-money laundering and third-party money laundering crimes, and vigorously promoting the recovery of drug-related assets to ensure full coverage in the investigation and punishment of drug-related money laundering offenses. From January 2025 to May 2026, procuratorial bodies nationwide prosecuted more than 1,200 individuals for drug-related money laundering crimes. A notable example is the major cross-border case of drug smuggling, trafficking, transportation and money laundering involving Li Moubo and others, which was supervised by the SPP and handled by Chongqing’s procuratorial organs. Li laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after receiving combined punishment for multiple crimes in accordance with the law. (Xinhua News Agency)

Cryptocurrencies have had a difficult performance this week as many investors started to take profits. Bitcoin price retreated to a low of $62,000, down from last week’s high of $73,500. Other coins like Ethereum, Render, Solana, and Near Protocol also dipped.
This decline also happened as many Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) holders liquidated their positions because of the significant fee. GBTC has an expense ratio of 1.50%, higher than the iShares Bitcoin Trust’s (IBTC) 0.25%. This article looks at some of the top cryptocurrencies to watch like Bitcoin Dogs (ODOG), Ribbon Finance (RBN), and Sui.
Ribbon Finance price forecast Ribbon Finance is a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform that enables users to earn sustainable yield through decentralized options and lending. The platform has over $34 million in total value locked (TVL). Its Ribbon Earn and Ribbon Lend also have millions in assets.
RBN price has done well in the past few weeks as it jumped from last year’s low of $0.1462 to a high of $1.91 this month. This was a 1,231% increase from bottom to the top. Its market cap has jumped to more than $746 million.
Ribbon has constantly remained above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), which is a bullish sign. Most recently, it has formed a bullish engulfing candlestick pattern and then rose for three straight days.
My view is that the coin is attempting to form a double-top pattern, meaning that it may continue rising as investors continue buying the dip. If this happens, the next point to watch will be at $1.70, which is about 23.47% above the current level. This view will become invalid if the price crashes below this week’s low of $1.2050.
Bitcoin Dogs price prediction Bitcoin Dogs is one of the best-performing new cryptocurrencies this year. The developers recently ended its token sale, which raised over $13 million in just a month. This made it the best-performing token sale in the industry.
Bitcoin Dogs is yet to go public in centralized and decentralized exchanges (DEX) but the developers have pledged that this will happen soon.
There are a few reasons to be optimistic about this. First, the token launch will happen in a time when the crypto industry is in a bull market. The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies has jumped to more than $2.6 trillion.
Second, it is one of the most hyped cryptocurrencies in the market. It already has thousands of holders, which is a good thing. Also, the developers are working to create real utility for the token. This will include features like a 1,000 NFT collection and a gaming platform.
Most importantly, most of the newly launched meme coins have done well. This includes tokens like Book of Meme, Solama, and Pepe. You can learn more about Bitcoin Dogs here.
Sui price prediction Sui has evolved to become one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies. Its blockchain project has attracted hundreds of developers and thousands of users. As a result, the total value locked (TVL) in the ecosystem has jumped to a record high of over $700 million.
Sui price has been in a strong bullish trend this year. It has risen in the past three straight days and is now hovering near its highest point since February 15th. The token has constantly remained above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages.
Therefore, Sui token will need to clear the important resistance point at $1.9697, its highest point in February to invalidate the double-top pattern. If this happens, it will open the possibility of it soaring to $2.50.
Crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital, which has over $5 billion in assets under management, has reportedly seen its Liquid Token Fund appreciate by 66% during Q1 2024.
According to a new report by Bloomberg, Pantera Capital’s $300 million crypto fund ended the first quarter with massive gains due to the rise of digital assets such as smart contract platform Solana (SOL), decentralized derivatives exchange Aevo (AEVO), decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Ribbon Finance (RBN) and open source blockchain Stacks (STX).
[adinserter block="1"]
Pantera’s success partially stemmed from having reduced exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) and allocating to smaller market cap altcoins.
In a shareholder letter seen by Bloomberg, it was noted that Pantera cut back on assets linked to Ethereum due to the odds of an Ethereum-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) getting approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) being lowered.
In an interview, Cosmo Jiang, Pantera Capital’s portfolio manager, tells Bloomberg that the fund has been steadily reducing its exposure to Bitcoin since the start of the year.
“We’d been pretty heavy in Bitcoin until the start of the year, and really like each month we’ve decreased that Bitcoin position meaningfully.”
Last month, Pantera engaged in funding efforts to raise $250 million as a means of purchasing Solana from bankrupt crypto exchange FTX.
SOL, AEVO, RBN, and STX are trading for $177.29, $2.96, $1.61, and $3.19 at time of writing, respectively.
The venture capital arm of the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume is announcing a new investment in a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol.
According to a new press release, Binance Labs has invested in a layer-2 (L2) DEX called Aevo, a rebrand of Ribbon Finance.
[adinserter block="1"]
Aevo bills itself as a high-performance derivatives DEX platform tailored for futures and perpetual contracts trading.
The decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol is built on top of the Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 protocol Optimism’s (OP) OP Stack. It acts as an off-chain order book, with orders settled on-chain on Ethereum. The protocol uses Celestia (TIA) as a high-throughput data availability (DA) layer to increase scalability. The project is also backed by Paradigm, Dragonfly and Coinbase Ventures.
According to the announcement, Aevo plans to use the investment to grow the ecosystem and its community, which already has over 50,000 monthly active users who have done more than $80 billion in derivatives volume.
“As part of the future roadmap, Aevo will launch vault strategies, yield products, and Aevo staking. It will expand its ecosystem of derivative products by allowing builders to deploy their dApps permissionlessly on Aevo L2 to leverage its growing user base and unique features.”
Binance Labs is the accelerator and venture capital arm of Binance.
Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10

The entire cryptocurrency market is down across the board; funding rates indicate BTC remains in bearish territory, while ETH’s bullish sentiment is significantly stronger than BTC’s.
According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,684.51, down 1.88% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is at $1,647.36, down 1.48% over the same period. Current funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) show a clear divergence between BTC and ETH: BTC rates across all platforms have fallen back into bearish territory, while ETH rates on most platforms remain above the neutral range, indicating significantly stronger bullish sentiment for ETH than BTC. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. They serve as a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees, instead using them to adjust the cost or return of traders holding contracts, so that contract prices stay close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is the benchmark. A rate above 0.01% indicates broad bullish market sentiment, while a rate below 0.005% signals widespread bearish sentiment.

Silver plunged 6% intraday, breaching the defense of long positions, as a smart money entity reaped $2.16 million in shorting profits.
According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the Silver (SILVER) contract on Hyperliquid is currently priced at $56.78, down 6.34% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of $263 million, ranking first in the precious metals sector. Driven by gold prices falling below $4,000 and safe-haven funds flowing back into chip stocks, short sellers have reaped significant profits. Notably, smart money address 0x49e has been shorting Silver on 3x leverage since April 29 at a high of $78.79, holding a position worth $5.77 million, and has already booked a precise profit of $2.16 million (+81%). On-chain Silver whales are overall bearish: the nominal position size of short sellers is approximately 1.5 times that of long positions. The average entry price for short positions is around $65.05, and the current price is 12.7% lower than this level. Long positions are overall trapped, with an average entry price of about $59.75, roughly 5% above the current price. Current short sellers have sufficient safety margins: the nearest short liquidation line stands at $77.18, some 36% above the current price, meaning short sellers face almost no liquidation pressure.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced a major drug-related money laundering case: Li Moubo laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after combined punishment for multiple crimes.
On June 25, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) held a press conference. Miao Shengming, SPP’s deputy procurator-general, stated that procuratorial organs are thoroughly investigating both self-money laundering and third-party money laundering crimes, and vigorously promoting the recovery of drug-related assets to ensure full coverage in the investigation and punishment of drug-related money laundering offenses. From January 2025 to May 2026, procuratorial bodies nationwide prosecuted more than 1,200 individuals for drug-related money laundering crimes. A notable example is the major cross-border case of drug smuggling, trafficking, transportation and money laundering involving Li Moubo and others, which was supervised by the SPP and handled by Chongqing’s procuratorial organs. Li laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after receiving combined punishment for multiple crimes in accordance with the law. (Xinhua News Agency)
PANews reported on May 27th that the Resolv Foundation announced a comprehensive recovery path for the USR security incident on March 22nd . This incident resulted in illegally minted USR tokens entering the market, forcing the protocol to suspend operations and enter recovery mode. The recovery framework follows the protocol's design principles: USR acts as the priority layer, with RLPs acting as the secondary layer to absorb the losses. The recovery plan is differentiated by user category, covering direct holders of USR/wstUSR, LP positions, lending market users, RLP holders, USR Yield Maxi vaults, Pendle positions, and other structured products. Specifically, USR/wstUSR held before the incident will be exchanged for USDC at a 1:1 ratio, while USR/wstUSR acquired after the incident will be exchanged for USDC at a 1:0.5 ratio. The RLP reference price has been reset to 55% of the last reference price before the incident, meaning 1 RLP is exchanged for 0.71 USDC, plus 2.71 RESOLV tokens per RLP.
The foundation will allocate 10% of the total RESOLV token supply for recovery, with 70% distributed to affected RLP holders. Eligible users can claim recovery payments between May 26 and August 26. Simultaneously, Resolv launched a new business line, Vault Street, focusing on the distribution of tokenized real-world assets. Its first product, primeUSD (a leveraged RWA product), has entered private testing and is expected to be fully launched publicly in June.
PANews reported on May 28th that, according to SoSoValue data, the cryptocurrency market declined across the board after several days of consolidation. The RWA sector led the decline with a 6.57% drop in the past 24 hours. Within the sector, Keeta (KTA) and Pendle (PENDLE) fell by 11.88% and 13.36% respectively. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) fell 2.13%, breaking below $75,000; Ethereum (ETH) fell 2.61%, dropping to around $2,000.
In other sectors, the PayFi sector fell 0.86% in the last 24 hours, with Stellar (XLM) bucking the trend and rising 17.04%; the CeFi sector fell 1.54%, with NEXO (NEXO) remaining relatively strong, rising 0.73%; the Meme sector fell 1.87%, with SPX6900 (SPX) falling 5.87%; the Layer 1 sector fell 2.27%, with Zcash (ZEC) falling 6.47%; the Layer 2 sector fell 2.98%, with Celestia (TIA) falling 6.04%; and the DeFi sector fell 3.29%, with Ondo Finance (ONDO) falling 7.45%.
Introducing the Pendle wOUSD MarketwOUSD is now listed on Pendle with LP incentives live on the pool.
Pendle is a yield trading protocol that splits yield-bearing tokens into fixed and variable components, enabling fixed-rate access to yield that would otherwise only be available as a variable rate. Liquidity providers are currently earning over 150% APY with incentives, while any holder can now lock in 3.5% APY on OUSD yield through December 16, 2026.
What wOUSD IsOrigin Dollar is a yield-bearing stablecoin backed entirely by USDC. Rather than sitting idle, OUSD's collateral is deployed across curated Morpho Vaults, currently generating 6.1% APY. These vaults span lending markets on Ethereum, Base, and HyperLiquid, with yield bridged back to OUSD holders on Ethereum mainnet automatically.
wOUSD is the ERC-4626 wrapper around OUSD. While OUSD rebases (your balance grows as yield accrues), wOUSD holds a fixed token balance while its redemption value appreciates. That makes it compatible with protocols like Pendle that do not support rebasing tokens.
How wOUSD Works on PendlePendle splits wOUSD into two tokens: PT-wOUSD and YT-wOUSD.
PT-wOUSD represents the principal. It trades at a discount and redeems 1:1 with OUSD at maturity on December 16, 2026, locking in a 5.5% fixed APY on stablecoin yield for the duration. For holders who want predictable returns without managing yield rate risk, PT is the straightforward path.
YT-wOUSD represents the yield. Holders receive the variable yield accruing on wOUSD until maturity: a leveraged position for those who expect OUSD's underlying yield to increase.
LPs power the market for both. By providing liquidity to the wOUSD pool, LPs enable PT and YT trading and earn fees from both sides of that activity.
Deposit wOUSD on Pendle, Earn IncentivesFor wOUSD holders: fixed-rate stablecoin yield is now accessible without leaving the OUSD ecosystem. Locking in 3.5% APY through December removes exposure to yield rate fluctuation while keeping the position in a USDC-backed asset.
For LPs: the pool structure limits downside in a way most AMM positions cannot offer. At maturity on December 16, PT redeems 1:1 with OUSD. The structure guarantees zero impermanent loss at expiry. LPs earn trading fees from both PT and YT activity, plus additional incentives bringing total current APY to over 150%.
Get StartedWhether you're locking in a fixed rate with PT or providing liquidity to earn incentives, the wOUSD pool on Pendle offers both paths from a single USDC-backed asset. We look forward to growing the integration with the Pendle ecosystem as the pool develops.
RWA is Pendle's dominant Q2 2026 narrative, and today, one of the most structurally distinct entrants joins the market. nOPAL is now live on Pendle ETH mainnet, offering a 120-day market with a ~11% current fixed APY for PT buyers.

What Is nOPAL?nOPAL is a tokenized vault issued by BlackOpal Finance, backed by Brazilian credit card receivables. BlackOpal purchases future receivables from merchants at a discount, a true sale registered in Brazil's Central Bank C3 Registry, and collections flow automatically through Visa / Mastercard settlement rails.

PT (Principal Token) locks in a fixed yield and redeems at face value at maturity. PT buyers are currently targeting ~11% implied fixed APY over 120 days, roughly 2.5–3x what T-bill-backed stables and USDG alternatives currently yield on Pendle.
YT (Yield Token) captures the floating yield generated by nOPAL and is levered to yield movements. YT is capital-efficient: a small amount of capital controls exposure to the full underlying yield stream. If realized yield exceeds the implied yield at the time of purchase, YT holders profit, and vice versa. YT is suited for users with a directional view on credit yields or those looking for leveraged RWA exposure without holding the underlying asset directly.
Important for YT buyers: At launch, pool depth is being seeded and liquidity will be thinner in the early days. We recommend using limit orders rather than market orders to avoid slippage when buying or selling YT. As LP depth builds over the first few weeks, execution will tighten.

Mu Digital is bringing Asian credit yields onchain through an integration with Pendle Finance, giving DeFi users access to tokenized exposure tied to sovereign bonds, corporate debt, and private credit across Asia.
The Hong Kong based tokenization platform says the integration marks the first instance of Asian credit yields being traded as fixed income instruments onchain. Asia’s credit market is estimated at roughly $20 trillion, but most of it has remained inaccessible to DeFi users.
Mu Digital’s core products are AZND and loAZND. AZND is a synthetic stable yield token backed by diversified Asian credit instruments, while loAZND is the locked version used inside Pendle’s yield trading system.

Pendle splits yield bearing assets into Principal Tokens and Yield Tokens. Principal Tokens let users lock in fixed rates, while Yield Tokens allow users to speculate on future yield. That structure lets loAZND trade more like a fixed income product inside DeFi.
The active loAZND pool on Pendle holds about $546,000 in total value locked, with a base APY of roughly 6.75% and a fixed PT APY of 8.19%. The pool is set to mature on July 2.
Mu Digital’s senior AZND products target yields in the 6% to 10% range, while junior products such as muBOND can reach up to 15%. The higher yield comes with higher risk, reflecting the basic logic of structured credit.
The company raised $1.5 million in pre seed funding, with investors including UOB Venture Management, CMS Holdings, Signum Capital, Cointelegraph Accelerator, and Echo. UOB Venture Management is the venture arm of United Overseas Bank, giving the project backing from a major Southeast Asian financial institution.
To build early liquidity, Mu Digital launched an Infinite Ways to Earn campaign in January, aimed at attracting deposits into its Pendle pools and expanding access to Asian credit products onchain.
The integration adds another layer to DeFi’s real world asset push. Treasury backed products have dominated tokenized yield so far, but Mu Digital is betting that Asian credit can become a new source of onchain fixed income demand.

Sky (formerly MakerDAO) launched Fixed Yield on Wednesday — a term-based alternative to the variable Sky Savings Rate built on Pendle Protocol v2, giving sUSDS depositors a locked rate to a named maturity date.
Sky (formerly MakerDAO), the protocol behind the $11 billion USDS stablecoin, launched a fixed-yield product Wednesday that lets depositors lock in a set return to a named maturity date using Pendle's yield-tokenization infrastructure. The product, called Fixed Yield, is now live at sky.money/fixed-yield, Sky said on X.
The launch targets users of sUSDS, Sky's savings-rate token, which holds $6.16 billion in market capitalization, by offering a term-based alternative to the variable Sky Savings Rate (SSR). At the time of writing, th fixed-yield market shows a 5.38% APY with a Nov. 26 maturity date, per the sky.money product page. The SSR's own variable rate sits at 3.60% APY for the same sUSDS pool on DefiLlama.
The product is built on Pendle Protocol v2, which splits yield-bearing tokens into Principal Tokens and Yield Tokens. When a user supplies USDS, USDC, or sUSDS into a Fixed Yield market, the protocol issues PT-sUSDS — a Pendle principal token that matures on a date chosen by Sky. Holding to maturity locks the entry rate. Exiting early means selling the PT position at prevailing market prices, which may be above or below the entry price.
Sky's Role and Pendle's InfrastructureSky sets the maturity dates when it opens each market. The rate itself is market-driven, set by trading activity in the Pendle pool rather than by Sky's governance. Sky makes clear on its product page that it does not set, control, or guarantee the rate.
Sky (sky-lending) holds $5.91 billion in total value locked, per DefiLlama, making it one of DeFi's largest CDP protocols. Pendle, the fixed-yield infrastructure layer, holds $1.23 billion in TVL across Ethereum, Arbitrum and Plasma.
The launch follows Wednesday's Pendle listing on Revolut, the European fintech with roughly 20 million crypto users, which expanded token distribution but not Pendle's actual fixed-yield product access. This integration goes the other direction: it brings Pendle's PT mechanics onto Sky's own product surface, inside the protocol rather than on a trading app.
The SSR has drifted lower over recent months. A fixed product offering a premium above spot gives rate-sensitive depositors a reason to commit capital to a term rather than stay floating.

PANews reported on June 8th that the decentralized stablecoin USDD officially announced the launch of the PT-sUSDD/USDT and PT-sUSDD/USDC markets on Morpho. Users can exchange USDT for PT-sUSDD on Pendle and then borrow USDT or USDC on Morpho by pledging PT-sUSDD.
This strategy is supported by Gauntlet. Currently, the relevant Vaults have low borrowing rates. Combined with the annualized return of PT-sUSDD, there is room for leverage operations. Theoretically, 10 revolving loans can yield an annualized return of nearly 30%. Users can participate according to their own risk preferences.
Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10

The entire cryptocurrency market is down across the board; funding rates indicate BTC remains in bearish territory, while ETH’s bullish sentiment is significantly stronger than BTC’s.
According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,684.51, down 1.88% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is at $1,647.36, down 1.48% over the same period. Current funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) show a clear divergence between BTC and ETH: BTC rates across all platforms have fallen back into bearish territory, while ETH rates on most platforms remain above the neutral range, indicating significantly stronger bullish sentiment for ETH than BTC. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. They serve as a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees, instead using them to adjust the cost or return of traders holding contracts, so that contract prices stay close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is the benchmark. A rate above 0.01% indicates broad bullish market sentiment, while a rate below 0.005% signals widespread bearish sentiment.

Silver plunged 6% intraday, breaching the defense of long positions, as a smart money entity reaped $2.16 million in shorting profits.
According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the Silver (SILVER) contract on Hyperliquid is currently priced at $56.78, down 6.34% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of $263 million, ranking first in the precious metals sector. Driven by gold prices falling below $4,000 and safe-haven funds flowing back into chip stocks, short sellers have reaped significant profits. Notably, smart money address 0x49e has been shorting Silver on 3x leverage since April 29 at a high of $78.79, holding a position worth $5.77 million, and has already booked a precise profit of $2.16 million (+81%). On-chain Silver whales are overall bearish: the nominal position size of short sellers is approximately 1.5 times that of long positions. The average entry price for short positions is around $65.05, and the current price is 12.7% lower than this level. Long positions are overall trapped, with an average entry price of about $59.75, roughly 5% above the current price. Current short sellers have sufficient safety margins: the nearest short liquidation line stands at $77.18, some 36% above the current price, meaning short sellers face almost no liquidation pressure.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced a major drug-related money laundering case: Li Moubo laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after combined punishment for multiple crimes.
On June 25, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) held a press conference. Miao Shengming, SPP’s deputy procurator-general, stated that procuratorial organs are thoroughly investigating both self-money laundering and third-party money laundering crimes, and vigorously promoting the recovery of drug-related assets to ensure full coverage in the investigation and punishment of drug-related money laundering offenses. From January 2025 to May 2026, procuratorial bodies nationwide prosecuted more than 1,200 individuals for drug-related money laundering crimes. A notable example is the major cross-border case of drug smuggling, trafficking, transportation and money laundering involving Li Moubo and others, which was supervised by the SPP and handled by Chongqing’s procuratorial organs.

PANews reported on June 11 that, according to official sources, the credit protocol 3Jane announced the launch of a liquidity mining program. Minting USD3 will earn JANE tokens. USD3 is a credit-backed yield coin that earns yields from warehousing facilities, forward liquidity programs, and credit lines, and belongs to the priority tier. sUSD3 is a staked version of USD3 with leveraged exposure to the pool and belongs to the secondary tier.
The initial incentive pool includes Curve, Frax, Morpho, Pendle, and others, with an initial allocation of approximately 1.35 million JANE tokens. The final supply of JANE tokens will be between 1.11 billion and 6.67 billion, with transfers enabled and final minting completed in 2026. Locked JANE allocations can be claimed every 7 days, and all allocations will go to liquidity providers until the final minting.
DeFi yields are compressing. Aave USDC sits at ~3% while other stablecoins struggle to reach 4-6%.
The search for real yield has begun, and this week’s unexpected DeFi stress test was instructive.
It highlights why we launched the nOPAL market on Pendle in the first place, and some of the challenges facing onchain yield today.
What Happened To DeFi?The week started with a strong BTC sell-off.
apxUSD holders felt it first, a product previously yielding ~15%, structured as an overcollateralized wrapper of Strategy's STRC perpetual preferred stock. When BTC dropped, STRC dropped with it, and holders wanted out.
Native redemption on apxUSD runs 3–20 days. In a fast-moving market, even a few days is too long, so anyone wanting an immediate exit had to route through a DEX and absorb significant slippage.
re.xyz holders had it worse. A separate reinsurance product, re.xyz operates on quarterly redemption windows. Capital is locked for months regardless of what the market does. In a sell-off, there is no exit at par.
These aren't product failures. They're structural gaps the market is only starting to price in: yield is marketed, liquidity is footnoted.
We launched nOPAL on Pendle one week ago to address exactly this gap. We did it before anyone even asked, and for this exact reason.
This week, the market delivered an uncontrolled test, and it proved the nOPAL thesis.
What Is nOPAL and What Problem Does It Solve?Start with the transaction. Someone taps a credit card in Brazil. The merchant gets paid in 30 days. Visa and Mastercard sit in the middle, processing settlement.
That 30-day gap is the asset.
BlackOpal Finance, a credit team with 25+ years of experience and $200M+ in institutional backing, buys those future receivables from merchants at a discount, then registers them in Brazil's Central Bank C3 Registry as a true sale. Not a loan, not a synthetic, not a wrapper. An actual transfer of the future cash flow.
When the cardholder pays the issuer bank, the money flows through Visa/Mastercard settlement rails directly to BlackOpal. The discount BlackOpal earned upfront is the yield: ~11–13% in USD, FX-hedged.
Visa and Mastercard process card payments whether or not anyone is paying attention to crypto cycles. If an acquirer or issuer bank fails, the network itself is the guarantor of last resort. Credit risk sits at the payment network level, not at the merchant, not at the bank.
That's how nOPAL has run a 0% default rate since inception, with audits from 0xMacro and Spearbit.
The yield isn't manufactured. It isn't paid in tokens. It doesn't taper. It's the discount on a short-dated claim against the world's two largest payment networks.
Why the Market Is Pricing This Wrong
Onchain lending yields have compressed to 3–5%. T-bill RWAs on Pendle average 4–6%. Native onchain yield is anchored to the U.S. risk-free rate, which means real yield onchain is currently unattractive relative to what's available offchain.
nOPAL sits 2–3x above the next-best RWA on Pendle, not from incentive games, but because short-term receivables in an emerging-market payment network yield more than short-term U.S. Treasuries. That spread is what we brought onchain.
It's also the only short-term receivables product on Pendle. New asset category, not another T-bill pool. No leverage. No lock-ups. The yield is simply the yield.
How nOPAL Solves The Onchain Redemption ProblemThis week exposed a hidden risk in most RWA yield products: exit mechanics need to be stress-tested under real market conditions.
apxUSD redemptions can run up to 20 days, which looks fine on paper. When BTC sold off, the wrapper drifted below peg, and holders were left with only difficult choices: wait out the redemption queue, or take a meaningful haircut by exiting through a DEX while the market was still moving.
The episode pulled scrutiny onto other RWA structures with similar exit profiles. re.xyz, a separate reinsurance product, runs quarterly redemption windows, locking capital for months regardless of market conditions. Different design, same problem.
Even a strong product with poorly designed exit mechanics can leave holders with what is effectively a term deposit of uncertain duration. Yield is marketed; liquidity is footnoted.
nOPAL was structured for exactly this scenario. Nest runs a dedicated liquidity sleeve that processes redemptions on a rolling basis while the underlying receivables settle in the background. Holders get a predictable, fast exit, even when the market is in motion.
The numbers:
Average redemption time: ~30 minutesMaximum redemption: T+4 — hard cap, not a guidelineZero BTC correlation — yield comes from Visa/MC payment flows, uncorrelated to crypto marketsWhen this week's BTC sell-off happened, nOPAL holders could exit cleanly. That's not a marketing claim. It's a function of how the asset was structured before a single token was minted.
At 11–13% base yield with 30-minute average redemptions, nOPAL wins on both yield and liquidity simultaneously. For sophisticated users, that combination is rare.
nOPAL on Pendle One Week LaternOPAL launched on Pendle Finance on Ethereum mainnet as a 100-day PT/YT market maturing September 16, 2026.One week in, and the numbers speak for themselves.
The pool has grown from $492k at seed to $1.74M. nOPAL is currently the #1 incentivized market on Pendle. PT-nOPAL offers ~10% implied fixed APY through maturity, the cleanest fixed-rate RWA position on Pendle for anyone rotating out of compressed stablecoin yields.
YT buyers are positioned to capture the gap between implied yield and realized yield plus incentives as the market catches up to nOPAL's real yield profile. LPs earn an aggregated ~25% APY from nOPAL base yield, PLUME emissions, PENDLE AIM auto-emissions, and swap fees.
EtherFi, one of the largest DeFi protocols by TVL, has integrated with Nest, bringing their user base direct access to nOPAL yield. Protocols with sophisticated user bases are recognizing that sustainable RWA yield with real liquidity is the next chapter of DeFi.
The market is early and the incentives are front-loaded. Early LPs capture the most. Early PT buyers lock in the highest fixed rates before more capital compresses implied yield.
Get StartedStep 1 — Mint nOPAL on Nest Deposit pUSD or USDC at nest.credit/vaults/nest-opal-vault. No KYC required, no redemption fees.
Step 2 — Bridge to Ethereum LayerZero bridge is built directly into the Nest UI. Go to your portfolio, click Bridge, and send nOPAL to Ethereum mainnet in one click. No third-party bridge required.
Step 3 — Access the Pendle market Choose your position — PT for fixed yield, YT for leveraged floating yield, or LP for incentivized liquidity.

For DeFi users who have been waiting for RWA yield that behaves the way it should when markets get difficult — this is it.
Fortune Magazine just published its first-ever Crypto Innovators list, and Pendle Finance made the cut. The list highlights 30 companies that Fortune considers leaders in the digital assets ecosystem, and Pendle’s inclusion puts the yield tokenization protocol in some notable company.
What Pendle actually does The protocol lets users divide yield-bearing assets into principal tokens (PT) and yield tokens (YT). The principal token gives you a fixed return at maturity, basically locking in your yield. The yield token lets you speculate on whether future yields will go up or down.
Founded in 2020 by TN Lee and Vu Nguyen, the protocol operates across multiple blockchain networks. Its current total value locked sits at approximately $1.15 billion, a substantial sum but far below its peak.
Advertisement
That peak? Over $8 billion in 2025, with an average TVL of roughly $5.7 billion throughout the year.
Recent moves that caught Fortune’s attention In January 2026, the team introduced sPENDLE, a liquid staking token that replaced the protocol’s previous lockup model. The old system required multi-year commitments from stakers. The new one lets users withdraw after just 14 days.
Before that, in August 2025, Pendle launched its Boros platform on the Arbitrum network. Boros takes a different approach entirely: it tokenizes perpetual funding rates into tradable instruments.
Fortune’s list, published on June 11, 2026, appears to have weighed these innovations heavily.
What this means for investors For DeFi participants already familiar with yield strategies, Pendle’s evolving product suite opens real doors. The combination of PT/YT splitting, sPENDLE’s flexible staking, and Boros’s funding rate markets creates a toolkit that didn’t exist two years ago.
The risk side deserves attention too. Pendle’s TVL dropping from $8 billion to $1.15 billion shows how quickly liquidity can exit DeFi protocols. Smart contract risk, oracle dependencies, and the inherent complexity of yield tokenization all remain factors that investors need to underwrite before committing capital.

Pendle Finance has scooped up over 1.72 million PENDLE tokens through its buyback program since January, distributing them directly to stakers. On top of that, sPENDLE holders have collected roughly $1.4 million in airdrops year-to-date.
The numbers represent the first major proof point for Pendle’s overhauled tokenomics, which replaced the old vePENDLE lockup system with a more liquid staking model at the start of the year.
How the buyback machine works Up to 80% of protocol revenue gets allocated to PENDLE token purchases. That revenue comes from three sources: yield fees on Pendle V2, swap fees on V2, and fees from Boros.
The buybacks happen on a fixed schedule. Every two weeks, a dedicated smart contract initiates purchases, with the actual buying spread across the following week. The tokens then flow to sPENDLE holders proportional to their stake.
Since sPENDLE launched on January 20, 2026, exactly 1,722,192 PENDLE tokens have been bought back and distributed through this system.
Advertisement
Why sPENDLE replaced vePENDLE The previous vePENDLE system followed the vote-escrow model popularized by Curve Finance. Lock your tokens for a set period, get voting power and rewards. The longer the lock, the bigger the boost.
sPENDLE introduces a 14-day withdrawal period instead of lengthy lockups. Stakers still earn rewards from protocol revenue and airdrops, but they’re not committing their tokens to a multi-month or multi-year sentence.
Pendle’s position in the yield-trading landscape Pendle operates as the largest yield-trading platform in DeFi. Its core innovation is yield tokenization, which splits yield-bearing assets into two components: Principal Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT).
PTs represent the principal value of an asset at maturity, effectively giving holders fixed-rate exposure. YTs capture all the yield generated until maturity, offering leveraged exposure to variable rates.
The platform supports tokenization across a broad range of assets, including liquid staking tokens (LSTs), liquid restaking tokens (LRTs), and stablecoins.
What this means for investors The buyback-and-distribute model creates a direct feedback loop between protocol usage and token holder returns. More trading volume on Pendle means more fees, which means more PENDLE purchased on the open market, which means more tokens flowing to stakers.
The $1.4 million in airdrops adds another dimension. These appear to come from external protocols distributing tokens to Pendle participants, a side benefit of the platform’s deep integration with the broader DeFi ecosystem.
For existing PENDLE holders, the math is relatively simple. Staking into sPENDLE with a 14-day unstaking period gives you exposure to biweekly buyback distributions plus whatever airdrops land. The opportunity cost is two weeks of illiquidity.
For prospective investors evaluating the token, the key metric to track is protocol revenue growth. With 1,722,192 tokens bought back since January 20, 2026, the annualized rate gives a rough sense of the yield being generated, but that rate will fluctuate with market conditions and trading activity.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced a major drug-related money laundering case: Li Moubo laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after combined punishment for multiple crimes.

Pendle’s sUSDS pool crossed $50 million in total value locked less than two weeks after going live. For a single yield pool on a single protocol, that’s the kind of traction most DeFi projects spend months trying to manufacture.
The pool launched around June 4 as part of a collaboration between Pendle and Sky, the protocol formerly known as MakerDAO. The product is straightforward in concept: it lets users lock in a fixed interest rate on sUSDS deposits through a specific maturity date, rather than riding the variable rate that sUSDS normally offers.
Why fixed yields are drawing capital The Sky Savings Rate, which underpins sUSDS yield, was sitting at roughly 3.6% APY when the Pendle pool launched. Early data showed the pool offering fixed APYs between approximately 4.74% and 5.38%, a meaningful premium over the variable baseline. In English: users were locking in returns roughly 30-50% higher than what they’d get just holding sUSDS in Sky’s savings contract.

The pool also demonstrated serious depth. Swaps of up to $27 million could be executed without triggering impermanent loss for liquidity providers who hold through maturity.
The Sky ecosystem’s gravitational pull Sky’s yield-bearing stablecoin carries a market capitalization of approximately $6 billion, making it one of the largest pools of stablecoin capital in DeFi. The $50 million that flowed into Pendle’s pool represents less than 1% of that total addressable market.
Pendle’s total TVL across all chains and yield markets stood at roughly $1.18 billion as of mid-June 2026. The sUSDS pool already accounts for about 4% of Pendle’s entire platform TVL after barely two weeks of existence.
What this means for investors For retail participants, a fixed rate between 4.74% and 5.38% on a stablecoin deposit beats most traditional savings accounts and money market funds. The trade-off is smart contract risk and the requirement to hold through maturity.
For institutional and larger allocators, the liquidity depth is the selling point. The ability to move $27 million through the pool without adverse price impact removes one of the primary barriers that keeps bigger players on the sidelines of DeFi yield strategies.
There’s a risk dimension too, naturally. Fixed-rate products on Pendle work through a specific mechanism: when you buy a principal token at a discount and hold to maturity, you effectively lock in your rate. But if the underlying variable rate rises significantly above your fixed rate before maturity, you’ve left yield on the table. The current spread of roughly 1-2 percentage points above the Sky Savings Rate gives some buffer, but it’s not infinite.

Leading crypto-native travel booking service, Travala, enthused, “We sponsored the craziest Web3 event ever!”
“Hands down the craziest Web3 event I have ever attended,” posted web3 influencer and advisor Kickz, “10 hours straight fun.”
Spearheaded by global web3 brand leaders Project Godjira and backed by prominent investors and web3 founders, including Animoca Brands, Polygon Ventures, Dingaling, and Yat Siu, Redacted elevated community-building and marketing to new heights—literally. At 47,000 feet, decked out in Redacted branding and flying high on pure good vibes, passengers enjoyed the experience of a lifetime with zero hierarchy on the flight. Business class and economy travelers mingled the whole way forging valuable connections and engaging in deep conversations with web3 legends.
The journey kicked off with opening speeches from Animoca Brands, Polygon, and co-founder and CEO of Redacted Shan Kumar, who thanked everyone for being part of this incredible journey. Passengers then participated in generous giveaways, airdrops, a sumptuous lunch, and a nailbiting ‘Shark Tank’ in the air. There were even live performances from the Rug Radio team and other top KOLs. The monumental flight was preceded by a lavish opening party on September 14 in Dubai’s most exclusive venue, 3BK at the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, giving attendees a taste of the thrilling highs to come.
“For the entire 10 hours, the plane was buzzing with energy—it didn’t even feel like we were on a flight! Everyone was dancing even with the limited space. It was wild, so much fun, and definitely a historic moment! When the captain announced we were about to land, the whole plane groaned in disappointment,”
said “We haven’t come down from this incredible high yet,” enthused Shan Kumar Redacted CEO. “It really was an unforgettable experience and we’re delighted and humbled that so many of web3’s brilliant minds and top human beings took part. We can’t wait to show this amazing community what we have planned for them in Redacted’s ecosystem later this year.”
Driven by AI and powered by blockchain, Redacted is building an entertainment datasphere to offer enhanced user experiences and targeted commercial opportunities for web3 companies and dApps, providing web3 users and ‘degens’ the chance to do what they love most—play, trade, watch, and get rewarded. Redacted has already raised more than $10 million from some of the industry’s largest names including Animoca Brands, Spartan Group, and Saison Capital, and has a leadership team combining backgrounds from top-tier companies like Tesla, Kraken, and LEGO with influential web3 thought leaders in crypto, gaming, and NFTs.
Redacted is already proving to be a master at community-building with the unrivaled ability to muster excitement and anticipation. Its viral marketing campaign caused a stir on X with the tongue-in-cheek tagline “Don’t get rekt, get redacted” gathering over 250K followers within a few weeks. Now the team has successfully maneuvered some of the most influential names in web3 across continents in the industry’s first-of-its-kind sky-high event.

Users will be able to interact through an ecosystem of entertainment and gamification products powered by RDAC.
