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.

Figment, OpenTrade and Crypto.com Offer 15% Stablecoin Yield Product for Institutions

Figment, OpenTrade and Crypto.com Offer 15% Stablecoin Yield Product for Institutions

The post Figment, OpenTrade and Crypto.com Offer 15% Stablecoin Yield Product for Institutions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Figment, a major staking infrastructure provider with $18 billion in assets under stake, is partnering with OpenTrade and Crypto.com to offer a new yield product aimed at institutional investors looking for returns on stablecoins. The product offers roughly 15% annual returns, based on past performance, by staking Solana SOL$141.61 and using perpetual futures to offset the price volatility of the token. Investors deposit stablecoins and receive interest without being directly exposed to the price of SOL. The staked assets are custodied by Crypto.com in legally segregated accounts. While staking has typically required exposure to the price of the token being staked, this structure separates the yield from the asset’s volatility. For example, an institution holding USDC can earn a return similar to SOL staking — usually around 6.5% to 7.5% — while avoiding the risk of price swings. The additional return comes from managing futures positions that neutralize price movements. This approach is different from typical DeFi lending, which often involves counterparty risk and less transparency. Figment and OpenTrade say the product gives institutions the ability to earn yield while interacting only with known entities and within a legal framework not usually available in on-chain markets. Crypto.com’s custody arrangement includes security interest provisions and keeps assets separate from the company’s own balance sheet — a feature often required by institutional compliance standards. The product is accessible through Figment’s platform and application programming interfaces (APIs). Stablecoins can be deposited and withdrawn at any time, with interest accruing from the moment of deposit. While the structure may not appeal to retail users familiar with decentralized finance, it reflects a shift toward more controlled, predictable yield strategies in crypto markets.

Dow Jones declines as AI sector doubts and Fed rate cut hopes persist

Dow Jones declines as AI sector doubts and Fed rate cut hopes persist

The post Dow Jones declines as AI sector doubts and Fed rate cut hopes persist appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) hit another weak patch on Monday, backsliding nearly 500 points and slipping back below the 47,000 handle to start the new trading week with many of the same questions from last week going unanswered. The AI segment continues to see new challenges amid concerns about endpoint revenues, and investors are hoping that a kickstart to official data sources following the reopening of the federal government will help push the Federal Reserve (Fed) to deliver a third straight interest rate cut in December. Alphabet shares supported by Berkshire investment Shares in Google parent holding company Alphabet (GOOG) rose over 3% on the day after it was revealed that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) poured $4.3 billion into a stake in the Google search and YouTube giant at the end of September. Hyper-traditionalist investor Warren Buffett recently announced his retirement by the end of the year to Berkshire shareholders, leading to speculation that a play into Google properties is being spearheaded by more tech-friendly names in the Berkshire flagship. Berkshire Hathaway continues to unwind its massive holdings of Apple (AAPL) stock, shedding another 15% of its total shares held as of the end of the third quarter. However, the Oracle of Omaha’s investment company’s holdings in Apple still sit at a lofty $60.7 billion. Too-hot AI rally now faces tough questions about profitability The AI trade continues to come under renewed pressure, with LLM computing services darling Nvidia (NVDA) falling another 1.8% on Monday. The chipmaker is slated to reveal its latest quarterly earnings after the closing bell on Wednesday, and investors are becoming concerned that the constantly-growing demand for AI-driven compute power still remains woefully outsized compared to revenues and return on investment on the actual deployment side. US government back open… for now The…

Fed Liquidity Moves May Shift Crypto Market Conditions in 2026

Fed Liquidity Moves May Shift Crypto Market Conditions in 2026

The post Fed Liquidity Moves May Shift Crypto Market Conditions in 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fed expected to begin $25 billion monthly purchases starting early 2026 for six months. Raoul Pal says crypto trading is like a stressed funding vehicle, showing a broken market. Treasury seeks liquidity control while the Fed considers supplementary leverage changes. Market analysts anticipate the Federal Reserve will implement liquidity measures that could change cryptocurrency markets in 2026. The chief market strategist at Wellington Altus, James E. Thorne, projects the Fed will begin purchases of approximately $25 billion per month, likely starting early 2026 and maintaining this pace for at least six months to stabilize reserve balances. “Don’t call it QE,” the strategist noted. He distinguished the anticipated measures from traditional quantitative easing programs. The purchases aim to address funding pressures emerging in financial markets as year-end approaches. Don’t call it QE. IMHO: the Fed begins purchases of about $25 billion per month, likely starting early 2026 and running at this pace for at least six months to stabilize reserve balances. — James E. Thorne (@DrJStrategy) November 17, 2025 Funding Crisis Concerns Intensify Macro investor Raoul Pal suggests the Fed’s hand will be forced this week to adjust market plumbing to avoid month-end and year-end funding crises. “Crypto is currently trading like a stressed funding vehicle reflecting the broken plumbing, while stocks are cushioned by buybacks and performance chasing for now,” Pal stated. The investor warned that stocks risk repeating 2018-2019 conditions if the situation is not resolved immediately. The Fed has met with banks and the New York Fed to understand why the Standing Repo Facility is not being utilized sufficiently to resolve funding pressures. “The fear from markets and the Fed is rising,” Pal noted. A larger battle involves the Treasury seeking control over liquidity via banks to increase lending to Main Street, competing with the Fed’s quantitative easing…

Crypto Lender Aave to Roll Out Savings App with 5%+ Yield on Apple’s App Store

Crypto Lender Aave to Roll Out Savings App with 5%+ Yield on Apple’s App Store

The post Crypto Lender Aave to Roll Out Savings App with 5%+ Yield on Apple’s App Store appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave AAVE$168.42, the largest decentralized crypto lending platform, is rolling out a “savings account”-like consumer yield app, opening waitlist on Apple’s App Store first. With the Aave App, users will be able to earn up to 6.5% annualized yield, higher than money market funds, leveraging Aave’s infrastructure lending protocol, and can deposit funds from bank accounts, debit cards or in stablecoins, according to a blog post on Monday. It also offers “balance protection” on deposits up to $1 million. Aave’s move fits into a broader trend of decentralized finance (DeFi) crypto projects branching out to offer neobank-like products directly to consumers. Staking protocol ETHFI$0.8902 introduced an Amex-like cash card product and other financial services, while Ethereum layer-2 Mantle recently debuted its neobank app UR offering Swiss bank accounts. Retail crypto yield platforms, which grew popular in the 2020-21 crypto bull cycle, suffered a big setback following the spectacular blowups of centralized lending platforms such as Celsius and Block.fi in 2022, portending a severe crypto winter. Aave’s expansion comes after acquiring last month San Francisco-based fintech company Stable Finance for developing a consumer savings app. Aave has gathered $70 billion in deposits and boasts 2.5 million in users, the blog post said.

Key Takeaways Figment and OpenTrade launched a stablecoin yield product offering 15% APR on stablecoins, with Crypto.com serving as custodian. Yield is generated by staking Solana (SOL) and using perpetual SOL futures, delivering returns more than double traditional SOL staking. A new stablecoin yield product from Figment and OpenTrade seeks to deliver 15% APR by combining staking rewards with hedging strategies. According to a Monday announcement, leading staking provider Figment has teamed up with OpenTrade, a lending and yield infrastructure solution backed by a16z Crypto and Circle, to roll out OpenTrade Stablecoin Staking Yield Powered by Figment, with Crypto.com serving as custodian.
