Lending

Lending protocols form the backbone of the decentralized money market, allowing users to lend or borrow digital assets without intermediaries. Using smart contracts, platforms like Aave and Morpho automate interest rates based on supply and demand while requiring over-collateralization for security. The 2026 lending landscape features advanced permissionless vaults and institutional-grade credit lines. This tag covers the evolution of capital efficiency, liquidations, and the integration of diverse collateral types, including LSTs and tokenized RWAs.

(Photo by Mick Hutson/Redferns/Getty Images) Getty Images Mariah Carey started her music career with a bang, as she dominated the American music charts throughout her first decade of success, the ’90s. In 1990 she scored more No. 1s on the Hot 100 than most musicians can dream of, as her first four proper singles — “Vision of Love,” “Love Takes Time,” “Someday,” and “I Don’t Want to Cry” — all ruled for a time. By 1995, Carey was one of the most consistent hitmakers in the global music industry, and she seemed unstoppable. When the singer-songwriter introduced her album Daydream with its lead single “Fantasy,” she would go on to not just top the charts once more, but make history and kick off another incredible run, the likes of which few artists have come even close to repeating. “Fantasy” Started as Mariah Carey’s Ninth No. 1 Carey released the single “Fantasy” on August 23, 1995. Due to how Billboard structured its charts and the dates it placed on them at the time, which were often off by weeks, the track immediately became another champion for the singer — her ninth overall – when it launched at No. on the chart dated September 30. “Fantasy” was a first for Carey, however, as it debuted atop the Hot 100, a feat that was still brand new at the time. Mariah Carey Followed Michael Jackson’s Lead “Fantasy” marked just the second-ever No. 1 debut on the Hot 100, and the first by a female artist. Michael Jackson had made history just a few weeks prior when he…

BlackRock Canada expands IBIT with securities lending

BlackRock Canada expands IBIT with securities lending

The post BlackRock Canada expands IBIT with securities lending appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock has confirmed that its Canadian arm has granted securities lending for the iShares Bitcoin ETF from Aug. 25 after providing investors with the required 60-day notice. The move follows disclosure in the June 26 prospectus, which outlined how the fund may engage in lending transactions in accordance with Canadian securities laws. The decision aligns it with other iShares ETFs in Canada, many of which already rely on securities lending to generate incremental income. Securities lending allows a fund to loan its holdings, such as shares or other securities, to borrowers, typically financial institutions, in exchange for collateral and a lending fee. Borrowers often use these securities to cover settlement gaps, meet collateral requirements, or support short-selling strategies. By opening IBIT to securities lending, BlackRock is effectively broadening the ETF’s revenue sources while emphasizing that protections will be in place to mitigate risk. BlackRock launched its Bitcoin product in the Canadian market in January. The fund allows investors to hold exposure to the flagship digital asset in Canadian and US dollars. It manages around CAD $358.9 million (equivalent to US$257 million) in assets. IBIT securities lending program According to the prospectus, BlackRock Canada has appointed two affiliates as lending agents for the fund, including BlackRock Institutional Trust Company (BTC), based in San Francisco, and BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited (BAL), headquartered in London. Under the structure, borrowers must post collateral worth at least 102% of the market value of the loaned securities. That collateral may take the form of cash or other securities, which are marked to market daily. BlackRock also provides a borrower default indemnity, committing to replace any securities not returned in the event of borrower failure. To limit exposure, no more than 50% of a fund’s net asset value may be on loan at any time. Cash collateral, when…

Investors Eye Tapzi Alongside Magacoin For Next 1000x Explosion

Investors Eye Tapzi Alongside Magacoin For Next 1000x Explosion

The post Investors Eye Tapzi Alongside Magacoin For Next 1000x Explosion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 30 September 2025 | 16:07 The cryptocurrency space in 2025 is no longer just about crypto tokens trading on hype; it’s increasingly about ecosystems that deliver value and keep users engaged. Investors are flocking to new presale cryptos, hoping to secure early positions in projects that can deliver parabolic growth. Two names have captured the spotlight recently as the best new crypto presales: Tapzi (TAPZI) and Magacoin Finance (MAGA). While both claim to offer fresh opportunities, Tapzi is quickly emerging as the frontrunner in the GameFi sector. Unlike many presale tokens that rely solely on speculation, Tapzi (TAPZI) integrates skill-based gaming, tokenized rewards, and community-driven governance into a single, easy-to-access ecosystem. It’s not just building a coin; it’s building a loop that encourages user retention, making it one of the most compelling narratives in the 2025 presale market. The Rise of GameFi in 2025 GameFi is no longer a fringe sector; it has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry that merges entertainment and blockchain. According to industry trackers, over $12 billion was invested in GameFi projects in 2024 alone, with analysts projecting further growth as Web3 adoption increases. The appeal is simple: traditional gaming requires hours of playtime with no monetary upside, whereas GameFi introduces play-to-earn and skill-based rewards. However, most GameFi tokens fail due to weak ecosystems and poor player retention. This is where Tapzi (TAPZI) separates itself. Instead of focusing on flashy graphics or overcomplicated mechanics, Tapzi (TAPZI) emphasizes classic, universally loved games like Chess, Checkers, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and Tic Tac Toe. These are timeless, easy-to-learn formats that lower entry barriers for players of all ages and regions. By making its platform accessible without downloads or wallet friction, Tapzi is creating a plug-and-play ecosystem where fun meets financial upside. Tapzi (TAPZI) vs. Magacoin Finance (MAGA) Both Tapzi and…

SocGen’s Crypto Arm Deploys Euro, Dollar-Pegged Stablecoins in DeFi

SocGen’s Crypto Arm Deploys Euro, Dollar-Pegged Stablecoins in DeFi

The post SocGen’s Crypto Arm Deploys Euro, Dollar-Pegged Stablecoins in DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SG-FORGE is bringing its euro and dollar stablecoins to decentralized finance platforms Morpho and Uniswap. French banking giant Société Générale’s crypto arm, SG-FORGE, is expanding its stablecoin offering into decentralized finance, aiming to provide what it calls a “complementary approach” for clients. In a press release today, Sept. 30, the multinational bank said that its EUR CoinVertible (EURCV) and USD CoinVertible (USDCV) stablecoins will be available for lending, borrowing and trading on Ethereum via DeFi protocols Morpho and Uniswap. The stablecoins can be used in collateralized lending and borrowing on Morpho, backed by assets including Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), wrapped Lido Liquid staked ETH (WSTETH) and tokenized money market funds issued by Spiko, a management platform that offers tokenized money market funds. Per the press release, MEV Capital will act as curator of the vaults, supervising collateral lists and managing capital allocation. On Uniswap, the stablecoins will be available for spot trading, with Flowdesk providing market-making services to support liquidity, the press release reads. Uniswap is currently the largest on-chain exchange by trading volumes, while Morpho is the second-largest DeFi lending protocol, per data from DefiLlama. SG-FORGE launched EURCV in April 2023 as a stablecoin for institutional use on Ethereum. In its early phase, it was limited to a small set of approved addresses, drawing criticism from crypto purists that it functioned more like a closed or “walled-garden” token than an open asset. Responding to concerns, SG-FORGE reworked EURCV in mid-2024 to comply with the EU regulatory regime for crypto, MiCA, and removed whitelisting so that the token could move freely on public chains. Two years after launching EURCV, SG-FORGE debuted USDCV, with BNY Mellon named as reserve custodian. As of its Q2 2025 financial report, Société Générale private banking has 132 billion euros in assets under management.

Big Ideas Series, Part 6: Web3 Browser

Big Ideas Series, Part 6: Web3 Browser

The post Big Ideas Series, Part 6: Web3 Browser appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Editorial > Big Ideas Series, Part 6: Web3 Browser I have had several of these ideas floating around in my head for years, and I’m going to start sharing them with entrepreneurs so we can get this party started in the Teranode era. If you turn my idea into a thriving company, please credit me and/or throw me a bone! Note on this article only: Some of these ideas exist in various capacities across Metanet Browser by Project Babbage, Metalens by Luke Rohenaz, Bottle Browser by Unwriter, Twetch, Treechat, and Brave Browser. What I haven’t seen is full integration, which I think is key, and I believe there are also some novel ideas below which nobody has touched on yet. Now, for the content!  What is it now, Kurt?! Modern browsing remains anchored to a model that treats users as products and expects them to trade privacy for access. Yet the promise of the Metanet (a world where data is owned, payments flow freely, and infrastructure scales on Bitcoin) demands a portal designed for it. A Web3 Browser (I’m calling it Web3 Browser™ in the article, but it probably deserves a more fitting name) built natively on BSV can unify the open Web with the Bitcoin economy, weave micropayments into every page, and invite builders to create richer, more private experiences. Timing matters: as decentralized apps proliferate and blockchains scale, a BSV-first browser makes Web3 accessible without compromising the ease of Web2. What Web3 Browser is Web3 Browser is more than a place to view websites. It is a privacy‑first browser that speaks both HTTP and Bitcoin protocols (like Bitcoin Schema), delivering the entire open Internet and on‑chain Metanet seamlessly. Built around an integrated BSV-native wallet, it turns every page into an economic surface: tipping a…

ADA Whales Sell Over $500M as Buy Activity Surges in DeFi Alternative

ADA Whales Sell Over $500M as Buy Activity Surges in DeFi Alternative

The post ADA Whales Sell Over $500M as Buy Activity Surges in DeFi Alternative  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As Cardano (ADA) whales offload more than $500 million in tokens, the market is witnessing a notable shift in investor focus toward high-utility DeFi alternatives. One project capturing significant attention is Mutuum Finance (MUTM), currently priced at just $0.035. Unlike ADA, which faces short-term selling pressure despite its established ecosystem, MUTM offers practical decentralized finance solutions, including peer-to-peer and pooled lending, flexible staking rewards, and full custody of assets.  With over 16,660 holders and more than $16.55 million raised in presale funding, the platform is gaining traction among both retail and institutional investors. Mutuum Finance’s innovative tokenomics, real-world utility, and rapidly expanding community could make it a top coin for high-upside gains in 2025, providing an appealing alternative for those looking to diversify beyond traditional altcoins like ADA. Cardano (ADA) Faces Bearish Pressure as Whales Increase Selling, Key Levels to Watch Cardano (ADA) is facing a challenging market condition with technical indicators showing mixed to bearish momentum. After Monday’s 6.1% decline, ADA closed below its daily support price of $0.84, and the RSI was at 40, well away from neutral, while the MACD had a bearish crossover. Price action shows strong selling pressure near $0.79, forming a clear downtrend channel, and analysts suggest that if ADA keeps falling, it may probe the 50% retracement level at $0.76, which is a significant support level calculated from the June low of $0.51 to August high of $1.02.  Despite all this stress, ADA has remained above $0.88 support, indicating that retail investors are entering to purchase selling from whales and steer clear of breakdown below. While ADA struggles with volatility and bearish indicators, investors are increasingly seeking alternative crypto opportunity, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) that offer groundbreaking DeFi utility and higher potential upside. Presale Dynamics and Market Outlook Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is back in…
