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.

Democratizing Layer 2 Infrastructure While Rewarding Community Participation

Sheridan, USA, August 19th, 2025, Chainwire A First-of-its-Kind Node Sale Enables Community Ownership of High-Performance DeFi Infrastructure on Optimism Superchain R0AR, the leading unified DeFi super-app built on Optimism’s OP Stack, today announced its Node Sale program, enabling global participants to own and operate critical infrastructure for the R0ARchain Layer 2 network. Starting 2025-8-25, individuals and institutions worldwide can purchase R0AR Node licenses, earning validator rewards while contributing to the decentralization of next-generation financial infrastructure. This marks a pivotal moment in decentralized finance, as R0AR becomes one of the first Layer 2 ecosystems to offer community-owned validator infrastructure through a structured node sale program, combining the security of Ethereum with the accessibility of community participation. Solving the Infrastructure Ownership Gap in Layer 2s While Layer 2 solutions have exploded in adoption, with optimistic rollups processing over $15 billion in total value locked, most infrastructure remains centralized among a handful of institutional validators. R0AR’s Node Sale democratizes this critical infrastructure, allowing anyone to own and operate validator nodes while earning rewards for securing the network. “Traditional Layer 2s ask users to trust centralized sequencers and validators,” explains Dustin Hedrick, Co-Founder & CTO of R0AR. “We’re flipping this model by giving our community direct ownership of the infrastructure that powers their financial sovereignty. This isn’t just about earning rewards it’s about owning the future of decentralized finance.” As DeFi approaches a projected $231 billion market value by 2030, the infrastructure supporting these protocols must evolve from centralized gatekeepers to community-owned networks that align incentives between users, validators, and the protocol itself.

Bitcoin Price Slips as Bull Rally Loses Momentum on Geopolitical Jitters

Bitcoin Price Slips as Bull Rally Loses Momentum on Geopolitical Jitters

The post Bitcoin Price Slips as Bull Rally Loses Momentum on Geopolitical Jitters appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin’s recent rally is showing signs of fatigue as geopolitical uncertainties weigh on investor sentiment. While the market remains active, global tensions have tempered enthusiasm, causing BTC to slip within a tight trading range. Yet beneath the short-term caution, technical indicators suggest room for further upside, provided resistance levels are broken.  This article examines Bitcoin’s current outlook, the broader crypto landscape, and how Outset PR equips projects to navigate volatile cycles with clear, data-driven communication strategies. Bitcoin Holds Steady: Potential Growth on the Horizon Source: tradingview  Bitcoin currently sits in the low six-figures, with a price range between $115,025 and $121,853. Despite a slight dip last month, Bitcoin has shown significant growth over six months, surging over 20%. If the momentum continues, Bitcoin could break past its nearest resistance level of $126,206, potentially reaching the second resistance at approximately $133,033. This would mean an increase of more than 8% from its current range. The market indicators, with a low RSI and stochastic levels, suggest that Bitcoin might be poised for an upward movement, making the cryptocurrency enticing for growth-focused investors.

BTCS hands out $0.40 per share in Ethereum dividend and its stock jumps 10 percent

BTCS hands out $0.40 per share in Ethereum dividend and its stock jumps 10 percent

The post BTCS hands out $0.40 per share in Ethereum dividend and its stock jumps 10 percent appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BTCS will distribute a dividend in Ethereum to shareholders later this year, marking the first instance of a public company paying a corporate dividend in ETH. The company said investors will receive a payment equal to $0.05 per share in Ethereum in September. A second component, described as a loyalty dividend, will distribute an additional $0.35 per share in ETH on January 26, 2026, to those who remain shareholders through that date. The payments exclude company officers, directors, and employees. The company’s shares rose more than 10% following the announcement, reflecting interest in the new program’s mechanics. BTCS holds approximately 70,000 ETH valued at $303 million, which places it among the largest corporate holders of Ethereum. The company describes its strategy as Ethereum-first, with operations spanning validator infrastructure, staking services, and blockchain software development. The loyalty dividend introduces a second element designed to reward long-term holders while reducing the number of shares available for lending in short-sale transactions. The company said the design was intended to strengthen its investor base. BTCS characterized the loyalty structure as a way to “reward our long-term shareholders, while at the same time reducing the ability of shares to be lent to predatory short-sellers.” This is not the company’s first experiment with crypto-based dividends. In early 2022, BTCS launched what it called the “Bividend,” a program that allowed shareholders to receive $0.05 per share in Bitcoin instead of cash. That distribution required an opt-in process and was recorded in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders had to hold shares through March 17, 2022, to qualify for the Bitcoin dividend, with cash paid as the default alternative. BTCS has built on that earlier model by expanding both the scale and the mechanics. While the 2022 dividend was limited to a single payout and offered…

Tom Lee: Ethereum Is Where Wall Street and AI Will Converge

Tom Lee: Ethereum Is Where Wall Street and AI Will Converge

Tom Lee of BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. makes a bold assertion about Ethereum, describing it as the platform that brings together Wall Street and artificial intelligence (AI).  Lee made the claim during a recent event in Manhattan. At the event, several crypto stakeholders, including Lee, framed Ethereum not just as another cryptocurrency in the market but as the foundation of the future financial system. Speaking at the event, as reported by Bloomberg, Lee suggested that Ethereum is the meeting point between Wall Street and AI. Notably, his company BitMine boasts the largest ETH pile valued at over $6 billion. Ethereum Features Extend Beyond Everyday Crypto Transactions This claim contrasts with the common perception of Ethereum as a blockchain mainly used for crypto-related activities such as token swaps, trading, and yield farming. However, industry leaders like Lee believe Ethereum offers greater functions than the day-to-day crypto activities. In his view, Ethereum is a programmable blockchain offering smart contract functionality, in which self-executing software can run financial services, such as payments, lending, and trading, without requiring intermediaries like banks. Since launching in 2015, Ethereum has seen widespread adoption, with users leveraging it for decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenization. Fees for these transactions are paid in ETH, which increases demand for the token as more businesses adopt the network. Potential Challenges While proponents like Lee position Ethereum as the cornerstone of tomorrow’s financial system, several companies are aiming to challenge its dominance. For instance, leading stablecoin issuer Circle is developing its own Layer-1 blockchain to facilitate enterprise-grade stablecoin payments. According to reports, popular fintech company Stripe is also developing a similar infrastructure, potentially challenging Ethereum’s ambition to dominate modern finance. Ethereum Corporate Treasury Initiative Meanwhile, with Ethereum increasingly seen as a hub for Wall Street and AI-driven systems, several companies, including Lee’s BitMine and SharpLink Gaming, are placing bigger bets on the token. They are stockpiling ETH in their corporate treasuries, treating it as a treasury asset. Joseph Lubin, co-founder of SharpLink Gaming, along with Lee, believes that the Ethereum treasury program is crucial in reducing the amount of ETH in circulation, which could boost its demand and price. In the meantime, investors are keeping a close eye on Ethereum as the second-largest token attempts to break its previous all-time high (ATH) of $4,891, recorded in 2021. Last week, ETH came close to surpassing this mark, rising to $4,788 before retracing to the $4,200 range. It is currently trading at $4,288, down 0.42% over the past 24 hours and 0.15% over the past week.
