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.

ChatGPT Predicts Bitcoin’s Next Move – Here’s Why $HYPER Could Be the Biggest Winner

ChatGPT Predicts Bitcoin’s Next Move – Here’s Why $HYPER Could Be the Biggest Winner

The post ChatGPT Predicts Bitcoin’s Next Move – Here’s Why $HYPER Could Be the Biggest Winner appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. That’s because historically, September has been Bitcoin’s worst-performing month, with an average return of -4.44% over the last 15 years. So, with a positive September, Bitcoin is showing early signs of an explosive Q4. Speaking of Q4, Bitcoin has delivered an average return of nearly 80% in this quarter over the last 15 years of recorded data. This time around, the return percentage could be even greater, thanks to strong fundamental tailwinds such as pro-crypto policy shifts from the Trump administration, multiple expected Federal Reserve rate cuts before year-end, and crypto’s growing adoption and awareness among everyday users. To arrive at an objective Bitcoin price prediction, we turned to ChatGPT. Thanks to its access to real-time crypto-related data – from social media chatter and company updates to on-chain metrics and policy announcements – ChatGPT has its finger on the pulse of the market. Unlike human analysts, it can detach from emotions and biases, which is important because, let’s face it, most people online want crypto to skyrocket, creating an unavoidable bias. By using ChatGPT, we can cut through that noise and rely on objective analysis. So read on to find out what ChatGPT predicts for Bitcoin’s future – and how you can ride digital gold’s bullishness by buying Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a new BTC-themed altcoin currently in presale and poised for potential gains of up to 9,100% in the coming years. Bitcoin Setting Up for New Highs The first thing ChatGPT noted on Bitcoin’s chart was how neatly its weekly price action has been setting up for an upward move. Sure, Bitcoin fell for three straight weeks in August, but ChatGPT was quick to analyze that this was, in all likelihood, a healthy price correction as it pulled the token toward the important 0.5-0.618 Fibonacci zone, which is considered the…

Keel Debuts as Sky’s Solana-Focused ‘Star’ With a $2.5B Roadmap to Boost RWAs and DeFi

Keel Debuts as Sky’s Solana-Focused ‘Star’ With a $2.5B Roadmap to Boost RWAs and DeFi

The post Keel Debuts as Sky’s Solana-Focused ‘Star’ With a $2.5B Roadmap to Boost RWAs and DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Keel, a new Solana-native capital allocator, debuted on Tuesday with a roadmap to channel up to $2.5 billion across decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenized asset markets in the SOL$210.33 ecosystem. Keel is structured as being part of the Sky ecosystem, the long-running DeFi protocol formerly known as MakerDAO, as one of its autonomous units called “stars.” That’s part of Sky’s major overhaul dubbed Endgame that includes creating smaller units, each of which is responsible for its own governance and innovation at the edge of the ecosystem. Sky is centered around issuing the USDS (USDS) and DAI$0.9998 decentralized stablecoins, which have a combined supply of over $7 billion. Spark, the first of Sky’s stars, has grown to more than $10 billion in total value locked (TVL) on Ethereum while allocating funds to over $1 billion in tokenized assets. Grove, the second unit launched earlier this year, is focused on collateralized loan obligations. Keel’s mandate is acting as an on-chain capital allocator that sits between Solana DeFi protocols and the broader stablecoin economy. It receives a dedicated balance sheet from the USDS stablecoin reserves to deploy and support Solana-native protocols to generate yield. Early integrations include Kamino, Jupiter and Raydium, Solana-hosted marketplaces where liquidity can serve as a foundation for lending markets, routing and liquidity pools. “Keel was founded on the belief that the next phase of on-chain finance growth needs more than new assets alone; it needs liquidity that can be accessed at speed and scale,” said Cian Breathnach, CEO of Matariki Labs and a contributor to Keel. “Keel is the first to provide these enablers on Solana, delivering the capital and catalyzing force for the next stage of growth in on-chain lending, borrowing, tokenization and more.” Keel’s plan could also help attract more tokenized real-world assets (RWA) to the Solana…

Matrixport held the DAT Summit during Token2049 in Singapore, focusing on the next round of market cycle discourse power

Matrixport held the DAT Summit during Token2049 in Singapore, focusing on the next round of market cycle discourse power

During Token2049, the world's most influential digital asset summit in Singapore, Matrixport held a closed-door summit themed "Crypto Asset Treasury Forum: Strategic Layout for the Next Market Cycle." As a leading global digital asset financial services platform, Matrixport brought together top institutional investors, researchers, and entrepreneurs to discuss how Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) can play a key role in the next market cycle. In recent years, as the crypto market has gradually entered a new cycle, the importance of fund management and asset allocation has continued to rise. DATs are not only the foundation for institutional balance sheet management but are also becoming a core component in driving the institutionalization of the industry. Token2049, as a leading global industry event, provides an excellent window for in-depth discussion on DATs and highlights Matrixport's voice and leadership in the global crypto finance sector. Cynthia Wu, co-founder and chief commercial officer of Matrixport, delivered a keynote speech at the closed-door forum . She stated, "DATs are becoming a key entry point for institutions into the crypto market, challenging not only compliance and risk management but also capital efficiency and strategic planning. Matrixport is committed to providing one-stop, standardized solutions to help clients navigate the volatility. We hope to work with industry partners to promote the systematic and long-term development of crypto financial services." The forum featured founders and executives from leading global venture capital firms, listed companies, and research institutions, engaging in roundtable discussions and in-depth discussions focused on topics such as "How DATs Can Maintain Resilience Through Cycles" and "DAT Opportunities from an Investor's Perspective." Participants generally agreed that digital asset treasuries are becoming a "must-have" for institutions entering the crypto market, evolving from a simple risk control tool to a crucial tool for asset appreciation and strategic planning. During the roundtable discussion, many panelists agreed that DATs are accelerating their mainstream adoption. Ciara Sun, founder and managing partner of C² Ventures, added that clear pricing, redemption, and transparency of rules are prerequisites for institutions to build trust in DATs. Discussing the evolution and future landscape of the crypto asset reserve industry, Joseph Chee, Executive Chairman of Solana Company (Ticket: HSDT.nasdaq, formerly Helius Medical Technologies) and Founder and Chairman of Summer Capital, predicted that DATs will become the primary channel for Wall Street investors to enter the crypto market. He also predicted that the sector will develop into an oligopoly dominated by two to three leading companies with exceptional management and operational capabilities, strong financing capabilities, experienced teams, and widespread influence. Zheng Di, a cutting-edge technology investor, believes that the Agent Economy and innovations in payment systems will create new opportunities for DATs, and that DAT strategies will expand from "hoarding coins and providing liquidity" to include derivatives such as equity and options. The guests at the meeting generally believed that DAT is still in its early stages, but the future landscape will be "oligopoly-dominated and diverse coexisting", and its strategic value in the global financial system will become increasingly prominent. Matrixport previously announced a comprehensive, one-stop service and solution for Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs), encompassing everything from custody and trade execution to lending and asset management, redefining industry standards. As DATCOs' total holdings surpass $100 billion, compliance and efficiency challenges become increasingly prominent. With its comprehensive product offering, Matrixport is becoming a key partner in helping institutions improve capital efficiency and seize the next wave of market opportunities. Through this closed-door discussion, Matrixport further established its thought leadership in the digital asset treasury sector. DATs are gradually reshaping the industry landscape, evolving from single-point yield tools to a strategic core in the next market cycle. As a leading global digital asset financial services platform, Matrixport will continue to promote relevant discussions and practices, working with industry partners to explore a more efficient and robust future for digital asset management.

Starknet bids to make bitcoin productive with new BTCfi push

Starknet bids to make bitcoin productive with new BTCfi push

The post Starknet bids to make bitcoin productive with new BTCfi push appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Starknet is stepping up efforts to attract bitcoin onto its layer-2 network. It’s rolling out a 100 million STRK incentive program alongside new staking mechanics in hopes to position the rollup as bitcoin’s “execution layer.” The campaign, branded BTCFi on Starknet, comes as rival projects Babylon and Botanix pitch their own competing models for putting idle BTC to work. Babylon channels bitcoin into securing external proof-of-stake chains, while Botanix earlier this month launched stBTC, a vault that redistributes half of its gas fees — paid in bitcoin — directly to users. Starknet’s pitch is different, according to Tom Brand, StarkWare’s head of product. Bitcoin stakers will help secure the rollup itself. Read more: Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield “Babylon focuses on staking BTC to secure external [proof-of-stake] chains, and Botanix builds an EVM chain on Bitcoin,” Brand told Blockworks. “Starknet, by contrast, lets BTC directly secure a real, high-throughput zk rollup with active DeFi and BTCFi use, so staked Bitcoin underpins real economic activity, not just theoretical security.” For now, however, Starknet staking relies on wrapped assets such as tBTC, LBTC, WBTC and SolvBTC rather than native bitcoin. That means users gain exposure via smart contracts on Starknet, but custody ultimately depends on the safety of wrapper infrastructure and cross-chain bridges. “Staking is ‘trustless’ in the sense that users retain control via smart contracts on Starknet and do not hand BTC to a centralized custodian,” Brand said, acknowledging the “BTC is wrapped and bridged, introducing trust assumptions tied to the wrapper infrastructure and the bridge itself.” There are other caveats. Unlike proof-of-stake systems where validators risk losing funds if they misbehave, Starknet’s BTC staking has no slashing mechanism today. “The architecture allows for slashing to be added in the future, but none is active now,” Brand said. That…

Starknet Launches Bitcoin Staking and Yield Products in BTCFi Expansion

Starknet Launches Bitcoin Staking and Yield Products in BTCFi Expansion

PANews reported on September 30th that Bitcoin staking has launched on Starknet, a platform the project claims is the first trustless Bitcoin staking platform to be implemented on a Layer 2 network. Holders retain custody of their assets while earning rewards and contributing to network consensus. Starknet describes this as a "Bitcoin strategy for veteran Bitcoiners." This initiative does not alter Bitcoin's base layer, but rather relies on wrapped versions of BTC, such as WBTC, tBTC, Liquid Bitcoin, and SolvBTC, which can be delegated and staked on Starknet. At the same time, the Starknet Foundation will allocate 100 million STRK (US$12 million) to promote the development of the BTCFi ecosystem, including incentivizing Bitcoin-collateralized lending, making Starknet the most cost-effective place to use Bitcoin as collateral and implement yield-generating strategies. Furthermore, Re7 Capital announced on Tuesday that it plans to launch a new Bitcoin-denominated yield product on Starknet in October. By combining off-chain derivatives, DeFi strategies, and Bitcoin staking, it will generate returns directly in Bitcoin. The fund will be tokenized to facilitate wider investor participation.
