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.

DEFG adds AERO, MKR removed

DEFG adds AERO, MKR removed

The post DEFG adds AERO, MKR removed  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale Investments published component weightings for multiple funds, showing portfolio changes across DeFi and AI-focused products. The revisions include asset additions and a notable token removal. What changed in DEFG fund components? The DEFG fund’s composition and weights were reported as follows: Uniswap (UNI) 32.32% Aave (AAVE) 28.07% Ondo (ONDO) 19.07% Lido (LDO) 7.02% Curve (CRV) 6.92% Aerodrome Finance (AERO) 6.60% Notably, MKR was removed from the fund, while Aerodrome Finance (AERO) was added. The change reshapes the fund’s DeFi exposure, concentrating weight toward established decentralized exchange and lending protocols while preserving staking and liquidity-focused allocations. Industry experience shows that large, concentrated rebalances can widen spreads temporarily and create modest tracking error for index-tracking investors. Why the DEFG allocation matters The DEFG adjustments reflect active portfolio management within the DeFi sector. By increasing relative exposure to UNI (32.32%) and AAVE (28.07%), the fund tilts toward governance and lending primitives. At the same time, keeping LDO and CRV maintains exposure to staking and liquidity services — core components of the broader ecosystem.  How did the GSC fund weightings shift? The GSC fund’s end-of-day weights were disclosed as: Ether (ETH) 30.32% Solana (SOL) 30.97% Cardano (ADA) 18.29% Avalanche (AVAX) 7.57% Sui (SUI) 7.35% Hedera (HBAR) 5.50% The near parity between ETH (30.32%) and SOL (30.97%) highlights the fund’s balanced emphasis on two leading smart-contract platforms. Consequently, shifts in these weights can influence derivative flows and staking allocations, and they serve as a barometer for demand across layer-1 ecosystems. Implications for the market and blockchain adoption The GSC configuration underlines continued investor interest in protocol-level tokens that underpin smart-contract ecosystems. As a result, reweightings here may compress or expand exposure to sectors such as decentralized exchanges, NFTs and application-level innovation across chains. Which assets compose the AI fund component list? The AI Fund’s…

ECB Minutes expected to reinforce the ‘Good Place’ policy stance – BBH

ECB Minutes expected to reinforce the ‘Good Place’ policy stance – BBH

The post ECB Minutes expected to reinforce the ‘Good Place’ policy stance – BBH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The ECB’s September meeting account is due today, likely reaffirming policymakers’ view that monetary settings remain “in a good place” after holding rates steady at 2.00%. With inflation seen stabilizing near target and risks now balanced, markets price only limited chances of another cut. By contrast, expectations for deeper Fed easing over the next year highlight a growing policy divergence that continues to favor EUR/USD upside. Meanwhile, signs of political stabilization in France are lending modest support to local assets, BBH FX analysts report. Markets split on further ECB cuts as inflation nears target “The ECB’s Account of the September 10-11 policy meeting is published today (12:30pm London, 7:30am New York). At that meeting, the ECB left the policy rate steady at 2.00% for a third consecutive meeting (widely expected) and signaled that monetary policy settings remain in a “good place.” The ECB stressed that risks to the economic outlook are now balanced rather than to the downside and implied greater confidence that inflation is stabilizing around its 2% target.” “The swaps market continues to price-in about 50% odds that the ECB delivers one more 25bps cut in the next 12 months and the policy rate to bottom at 1.75%. We think the ECB is done easing. Meanwhile, futures fully price-in 100bps of Fed funds rate cut over the next 12 months. The risk is the Fed eases more because the US employment backdrop is increasingly fragile. Bottom line: relative ECB/Fed policy stance underpins the uptrend in EUR/USD.” “France’s political crisis is on a fragile stability path. French President Emmanuel Macron said he’ll name a new prime minister by Friday evening. A statement by the Elysee presidential office noted that “A majority of deputies oppose dissolution (of parliament); a platform for stability exists; a path is possible to adopt a…

Wall Street Analyst Says Bitcoin Bull Run To $250,000 Already Programmed, But Why Are They Buying Paydax Over Cardano?

Wall Street Analyst Says Bitcoin Bull Run To $250,000 Already Programmed, But Why Are They Buying Paydax Over Cardano?

The post Wall Street Analyst Says Bitcoin Bull Run To $250,000 Already Programmed, But Why Are They Buying Paydax Over Cardano? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Wall Street analysts predict Bitcoin’s $250,000 bull run, but investors are turning to Paydax (PDP) over Cardano (ADA) for its early-stage presale. A Wall Street analyst has predicted that Bitcoin’s next bull run to $250,000 is already programmed, fueling renewed excitement across the market. The same Wall Street analyst, however, notes that while Bitcoin and Cardano are gaining traction, investors are quietly turning to a new breakout project, Paydax (PDP), during its presale phase. With tokens priced at just $0.015 and a limited 25% bonus still active, this makes the presale one of the most affordable and rewarding early opportunities during this bull run. Wall Street Analyst Highlights Paydax (PDP) Presale Over Bitcoin And Cardano A Wall Street analyst behind Bitcoin’s $250,000 prediction points out that Bitcoin remains the face of digital money, while Cardano focuses on scalability and sustainable blockchain development. Yet, even with all that, none offer a truly transparent way to borrow, lend, or insure assets across borders. That’s where Paydax (PDP) takes the lead. It is emerging as the first decentralized protocol combining full-scale banking, lending, and insurance on-chain. The Wall Street analyst has now taken notice of Paydax’s presale, which hit the market just a few weeks ago, selling for a low price of  $0.015. With its plan to disrupt traditional banking and a presale gaining rapid momentum, investors are now turning to PDP instead of Cardano. Join the Paydax presale today  Paydax Introduces Real Yield and Utility Missing in Established Coins In a recent update on X (formerly Twitter), one market expert revealed a bold prediction that Bitcoin could stay strong this fourth quarter and potentially climb between $200,000 and $250,000. Another market analyst, Ali Charts, noted that breaking above $0.96 could push Cardano toward $1.90. While Bitcoin and Cardano continue to…
