DEX

DEXs are peer-to-peer marketplaces where users trade cryptocurrencies directly from their wallets via Automated Market Makers (AMM) or on-chain order books. By removing central authorities, DEXs like Uniswap and Raydium prioritize privacy and user sovereignty. The 2026 DEX landscape is dominated by intent-based trading, MEV protection, and cross-chain liquidity aggregation. Follow this tag for the latest in on-chain trading volume, liquidity pools, and the technology behind permissionless swaps.

1inch launches trustless Solana cross-chain swaps, bypassing bridges entirely

1inch launches trustless Solana cross-chain swaps, bypassing bridges entirely

The post 1inch launches trustless Solana cross-chain swaps, bypassing bridges entirely appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading DEX aggregator 1inch has introduced a new DeFi feature: trustless cross-chain swaps between Solana and over 12 EVM networks, without relying on bridges or third-party messaging protocols. Available across the 1inch dApp, wallet, and Fusion+ API, users can now move assets directly between Solana and all major EVM networks in a fully decentralized, secure, and seamless way with full MEV protection. Bridgeless Solana cross-chain swaps Until now, cross-chain interaction between Solana and EVM networks has typically required bridges or third-party messaging protocols such as Wormhole, Axelar, LayerZero, or Chainlink CCIP. While widely used, these systems have proven to be vulnerable, with bridge hacks one of the most damaging security risks in DeFi. In February 2022, the Wormhole bridge, which connects Solana and Ethereum, was hacked, resulting in a loss of over $320 million. Attackers exploited a vulnerability in Wormhole’s signature verification process, enabling them to mint $120,000 worth of wrapped ETH on Solana without the required collateral on Ethereum. This drained funds from the protocol and exposed the risks inherent in traditional bridge-based cross-chain solutions. 1inch’s bridgeless Solana cross-chain swaps rewrite this model entirely. When the resolver accepts a price, an escrow is created on the source chain, securely locking the user’s funds. The resolver then creates a matching escrow on the destination chain, locking their own funds. 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz told CryptoSlate: “There is no bridge risk, because the funds remain in their respective chain-specific escrows, not in a shared pool, and no one can move them without the user’s secret. After a security check, the user shares this secret with the resolver to authorize withdrawal. If the secret is never shared, both escrows are canceled and funds are returned to their original owners.” Under the hood: Fusion+ cross-chain The technical foundation for this feature builds on…

Bitlayer’s YBTC Token Enters Solana Ecosystem as the DeFi Project Partners With Kamino Finance and Orca

The post Bitlayer’s YBTC Token Enters Solana Ecosystem as the DeFi Project Partners With Kamino Finance and Orca appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitlayer, a bitcoin DeFi infrastructure project, has partnered with Kamino Finance and Orca to bring its bitcoin-backed token, YBTC, to the Solana ecosystem. This integration is intended to combine Bitlayer’s security with Solana’s speed and scalability, aligning with Bitlayer’s goal of expanding the Bitcoin DeFi sector. It will provide bitcoin holders with native BTC exposure and yield opportunities, said Charlie Hu, co-founder of Bitlayer. “By combining Bitlayer’s security roots with Solana’s performance frontier through YBTC, we’re delivering what BTC holders demand: native Bitcoin exposure with yield opportunities. Kamino and Orca provide the essential liquidity rails to make this vision operational at scale,” Hu said in a press release shared with CoinDesk. YBTC, pegged 1:1 with BTC, is central to Bitlayer’s BitVM bridge, which is designed for trust-minimized bitcoin transfers by eliminating centralized intermediaries. The token serves as a direct representation of users’ locked BTC within the Bitlayer ecosystem, enabling seamless interoperability between Bitcoin and decentralized finance applications. By holding YBTC, Solana users can maximize yields through Kamino’s institutional-grade earn vaults, which provide auto-compounding and optimized BTC-denominated returns, helping assets grow effortlessly. They also enjoy seamless trading with Orca’s Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM), which offers zero-slippage swaps between YBTC.B and other mainstream assets, providing smooth access to Solana’s DeFi ecosystem. Last but not least, users maintain complete asset freedom, with the ability to redeem native BTC at any time via efficient, frictionless cross-chain operations. Bitlayer’s BitVM Bridge has already established partnerships with other networks, including Sui, Base, and Cardano, to advance its ecosystem collaboration. To promote early adoption, a limited-time incentive program for the mainnet beta is now underway, rewarding participants with Bitlayer’s native token, BTR, for minting YBTC and utilizing its cross-chain features. Kamino Finance is a Solana-based DeFi protocol, offering automated and optimized concentrated liquidity management for DEX…

Archax’s existing relationships with financial institutions are expected to bring a broader array of institutional assets onto Stellar. Institutional adoption of tokenized RWAs gaining momentum The partnership comes at a pivotal time, with institutional demand for digital asset solutions surging. According to Archax CEO Graham Rodford, 86% of institutions already hold or plan to allocate to digital assets by the end of 2025. “The Archax vision has always been that all financial instruments will move onchain,” Rodford stated, emphasizing the significance of having strategic investors like Stellar on board. The broader RWA tokenization market has grown dramatically, from $15.2 billion in…

We STILL already won

We STILL already won

The post We STILL already won appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Editorial > We STILL already won When I first wrote Bitcoin SV already won, I argued that the great battles over protocol and scaling had been decided. The original design, Satoshi’s design, had been vindicated by history. What remained was the war of education and adoption. On that front, I think BSV has been (purposely and maliciously) dragged into tangents and unnecessary bickering in the blockchain economy. Years later, the evidence is even clearer. We are still here, still building, and still winning on the technology while still suffering in communications, education, and adoption. The imitators have completely failed to catch up; they have drifted into ever more convoluted experiments, desperate to escape the simple truth: Bitcoin was right the first time. But they still think they have won for no other reason than market cap measured in dollars. But as a wise man once said: “If they win, they lose, because they cannot scale.” Looking back: The predictions came true In that first essay, I wrote that BSV had already demonstrated the victory of the UTXO model, the unbounded block size limit, and the principle of “simplify, don’t complicate.” Since then, those truths have only hardened. Protocol stability: BSV’s decision to restore and lock the base protocol means that developers build on a bedrock. Contrast this with Ethereum, where the rules of the game change constantly through forks and governance experiments. Scaling proof: Blocks in the thousands of megabytes have become ordinary. No other blockchain can sustain this without fragmenting into side-chains, rollups, or marketing buzzwords masquerading as technology. SPV vindicated: The concept of Simplified Payment Verification (SPV), described by Satoshi in 2008, remains unimplemented in BTC and essentially impossible in Ethereum. Yet SPV quietly undergirds real Bitcoin, enabling lightweight wallets and practical scaling. What was once a prediction is now…

There’s no alt season — we’ve reached mainstream adoption

There’s no alt season — we’ve reached mainstream adoption

The post There’s no alt season — we’ve reached mainstream adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. The crypto markets usually follow a predictable speculative frenzy as traders cyclically rotate capital between Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins. But this market event is showing indications of a structural shift, resulting in a collapse of cyclical seasons. Summary Crypto has outgrown its seasonal cycles — as regulated investment products like ETFs bring year-round capital flow from both institutional and retail investors. With $29.5B in year-to-date inflows into crypto ETPs and rising interest from institutions, the old “Bitcoin season vs. altcoin season” narrative no longer holds. Investors today prioritize compliant, liquid, and risk-mitigated instruments over speculative tokens, driving sustainable value, not just short-term hype. As crypto matures into an integrated asset class, projects must pivot from hype cycles to infrastructure, governance, and long-term capital efficiency to stay relevant. The industry has matured, with regulatory clarity providing safe exposure for institutional and retail investors to structured crypto products like ETFs. Venture capital firms have also started investing in projects with strong fundamentals, creating long-term value and sustainable ROIs. With crypto reaching mass adoption, there are no more separate market seasons. The death of seasonal market cycles Crypto has evolved from its speculative trading days to investors gaining exposure through regulated instruments. Thus, rather than snorting on hopium and hunting down new altcoins to pump price action, they’re trading in spot ETFs. According to a recent CoinShares report, global crypto ETP inflows have recorded a new year-to-date high of $29.5 billion, with total assets under management reaching $221.4 billion. A closer look reveals Bitcoin ETPs registered minor outflows, while Ethereum (ETH) ETPs recorded their second-largest weekly gains, followed by Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP). The data contradicts CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season…

Bessent says interviews for ‘incredible group’ of potential Fed chairs will start after Labor Day

Bessent says interviews for ‘incredible group’ of potential Fed chairs will start after Labor Day

The post Bessent says interviews for ‘incredible group’ of potential Fed chairs will start after Labor Day appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday he will begin interviewing candidates for Federal Reserve chair as soon as the White House whittles down what has suddenly become a crowded field. In a CNBC “Squawk Box” interview, Bessent confirmed the race to replace current Chair Jerome Powell is between 11 candidates, an array that includes past and present central bank officials as well as economists, a White House advisor and a few Wall Street market experts. “In terms of the interview process, we’ve announced 11 very strong candidates. I’m going to be meeting with them probably right after, Labor Day, and to start bringing down the list to present to President Trump,” he said. “It’s an incredible group.” That list is believed to include current governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, White House economist Kevin Hassett and former governor Kevin Warsh. Strategists Rick Rieder of BlackRock and David Zervos of Jefferies also are part of the group, as well as economist Marc Sumerlin, former governor Larry Lindsey and former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard. Though Powell’s term does not end until May 2026, the White House is keen to get the process moving as it pushes an urgent need for interest rate cuts. Bessent repeated the administration’s desire for easing, saying it would help the moribund U.S. housing market. Sales and new building have been weak, with low inventory pushing prices higher. “If we keep constraining home building, then what kind of inflation does that create one or two years out?” he said. “So a big cut here could facilitate a boom or a pickup in home building, which will keep prices down one two years down the road.” The Fed does not have a policy meeting again until Sept. 16-17, where it is widely…
