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.

After her husband – a presidential candidate – is assassinated in front of her, Seo Munju (Gianna Jun) tries to find the truth behind his death.

BlockDAG, Maxi Doge, Snorter Bot & PepeNode

BlockDAG, Maxi Doge, Snorter Bot & PepeNode

The post BlockDAG, Maxi Doge, Snorter Bot & PepeNode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Presales remain one of the most exciting areas in crypto, giving early participants a chance to buy before major listings, often at far lower entry points. Still, not every presale is built the same. The strongest projects combine funding success, community engagement, and clear roadmaps. Others rely on meme culture but still attract traders looking for explosive moves. Here we’ll look at four projects currently standing out: BlockDAG, Maxi Doge ($MAXI), Snorter Bot ($SNORT), and PepeNode ($PEPENODE). Each brings something different to the table, from technical development to pure community hype. For those scanning the top crypto presale opportunities in 2025, these names are worth paying attention to. 1. BlockDAG: $376M Raised and Momentum Building BlockDAG has become one of the largest and most impressive top crypto presale stories of 2025. With over $376 million raised and Batch 29 pricing BDAG at $0.0276, it already shows major traction. Early buyers from Batch 1 are sitting on gains of over 2,660%, and projections point to a potential $1 listing price, signaling a 36× move. Its hybrid model combines DAG technology with Proof-of-Work security, offering scalability alongside decentralization. Being EVM-compatible also allows developers to migrate Ethereum-based apps seamlessly. Adoption has been rapid: the X1 mobile miner app has more than 2.5 million users, 19,000+ ASIC miners are active, and 4,500 developers are building 300 decentralized apps ahead of mainnet. With over 200,000 holders and 20 exchange listings lined up, BlockDAG is clearly a top crypto presale to watch in 2025. 2. Maxi Doge ($MAXI): Meme Culture With a Utility Edge Maxi Doge embraces meme coin culture but adds utility to keep people engaged beyond hype alone. Its roadmap includes staking rewards, small-scale NFT features, and community incentives designed to build staying power. The presale has been structured with low entry costs and…

DeFi Treasury Protocol ETH Strategy Deploys Over 50% of Its ETH for Yield

DeFi Treasury Protocol ETH Strategy Deploys Over 50% of Its ETH for Yield

The post DeFi Treasury Protocol ETH Strategy Deploys Over 50% of Its ETH for Yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. ETH Strategy has deployed a significant portion of its ETH into Etherfi’s weETH token, along with deposits into Lido, Liquid Collective, Renzo, and Aave. ETH Strategy, a DeFi protocol that mimics corporate treasury operations on-chain, is now deploying its ETH into yield-generating positions through a partnership with Etherfi, a non-custodial liquid staking protocol. According to an Aug. 18 blog announcement, allocations to partners like Etherfi are “intended to generate sustainable ETH-denominated returns as part of the ETH Strategy treasury program.” Users will get on-chain receipt tokens for each position, which act as a live, verifiable “proof of reserves,” ETH Strategy explained. ETH Strategy, which has over 11,000 ETH in its treasury, says the integration is “designed to sit alongside other DeFi venues as we roll out additional partners, diversifying sources of yield while preserving liquidity and control.” In practice, this means ETH can be allocated across multiple protocols, earning returns through lending, staking, or other yield mechanisms without locking users’ liquidity. Staking Yield In an X post on Aug. 18, ether.fi said ETH Strategy “will be deploying a significant portion of their ETH holdings into weETH,” a non-rebasing ERC-20 token representing staked Ethereum. While the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, on-chain data shows ETH Strategy has allocated 2,048 ETH to weETH so far, along with smaller deposits to Lido, Liquid Collective, Renzo, and Aave. ETH Deposits ETH Strategy isn’t a company with a traditional off-chain balance sheet. It’s a set of smart contracts running on Ethereum that manage treasury positions autonomously. In its official documentation, ETH Strategy says it has “2 audits completed,” but adds that “these will be public later,” without naming the auditors or providing a timeline. ETH Strategy did not respond to The Defiant’s request for comment. The protocol’s native token STRAT is designed to give leveraged exposure…

MetaMask Just Launched Its Own Dollar Stablecoin

MetaMask Just Launched Its Own Dollar Stablecoin

The post MetaMask Just Launched Its Own Dollar Stablecoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins MetaMask, the widely used self-custodial crypto wallet owned by Consensys, is preparing to launch its own stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), later this year. The new token will be issued by Bridge, a stablecoin platform recently acquired by Stripe, and powered by liquidity provider M0. Unlike many existing stablecoins, mUSD is being designed with cross-chain functionality at its core, enabling seamless movement across networks through M0’s liquidity system. According to Consensys, the stablecoin will first roll out on Ethereum and Linea, its in-house Ethereum layer-2 network. By integrating mUSD directly into MetaMask, the wallet’s more than 30 million users will be able to use the asset for swaps, bridging, lending, and other DeFi applications without leaving the platform. The company also revealed plans to tie the new token into real-world payments. A MetaMask Card, developed in collaboration with Mastercard, is expected to launch later this year, allowing holders to spend mUSD on everyday purchases. MetaMask emphasized that the stablecoin will be backed one-to-one with dollar-equivalent reserves and is meant to simplify the self-custodial experience for new Web3 users. Gal Eldar, MetaMask’s product lead, described the launch as a way to “lower the barriers” for onboarding into crypto while reducing costs for people moving funds on-chain. The announcement comes shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act, a law establishing clearer rules for stablecoin issuers. With a stronger regulatory framework now in place, more major players are stepping into the stablecoin race. Just this week, Trump’s World Liberty Financial minted nearly 10% of the supply of its USD1 stablecoin, signaling how competitive the market for regulated digital dollars is becoming.

Maestro’s Real-Time Indexing Supercharges Liquidium’s Bitcoin Lending Platform

Maestro’s Real-Time Indexing Supercharges Liquidium’s Bitcoin Lending Platform

The post Maestro’s Real-Time Indexing Supercharges Liquidium’s Bitcoin Lending Platform appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new partnership between Bitcoin infrastructure firm Maestro and lending protocol Liquidium has injected unprecedented speed and precision into Bitcoin’s emerging DeFi ecosystem (referred to as ‘BTCFi’).  To elaborate, Maestro’s enterprise-grade indexing and real-time mempool tracking services will now power Liquidium’s lending protocols, enabling near-instant reactions (for on-chain events) as well as unlocking lending/borrowing directly on Bitcoin’s base layer.  To date, Liquidium’s flagship Bitcoin-native lending platform ‘LiquidiumWTF’ has facilitated over 4,230 BTC (roughly $500 million) in loans using Bitcoin-centric assets (including Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens) as collateral, proving that such inscribed assets, too, can be put to productive use rather than left idle in wallets.  That said, supporting such a novel market requires live access to accurate asset data and real-time transaction status. That’s where Maestro comes in, providing a digital infrastructure that can keep Liquidium updated on pending transactions and the latest state of the network, allowing it to execute loans and manage collateral with lightning-fast precision. On the development, Peter Giammanco, Liquidium co-founder and CTO, was quoted as saying: “We’ve only been using Maestro for two months, but it’s already saved us what amounts to 100% of the time and resources we would’ve spent building our own infrastructure. It’s hard to overstate the speed boost it’s given our dev cycle.”   From instant BTC loans to cross-chain lending without bridges With Maestro handling much of the backend heavy lifting, Liquidium has been able to rapidly expand its capabilities on Bitcoin’s L1 and beyond. Its primary protocol, LiquidiumWTF, recently rolled out an ‘Instant Loans’ feature, allowing users to borrow BTC within seconds. To make this possible, lenders have to pre-fund on-chain vaults so that liquidity can be tapped into almost immediately without having to wait for a counterparty.  Furthermore, Liquidium’s second protocol, LiquidiumFi, is pushing the envelope of cross-chain…
