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.

HODLing Might Be Better Now

HODLing Might Be Better Now

The post HODLing Might Be Better Now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock’s proposal has been postponed for another 45 days, while Franklin Templeton will have to wait 60 days for a possible decision. Last month, the SEC also delayed Truth Social’s application for a Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF by 45 days, with a decision now scheduled for October 8. Similarly, spot $XRP ETF applications filed by CoinShares, Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary Capital, and 21Shares have been postponed. Solana ETF applications filed by 21Shares, VanEck, and Bitwise are also on hold, along with Grayscale’s Dogecoin and Litecoin ETF applications. Read on as we dig into why the SEC has been delaying ETF approvals, and also point you toward the best crypto presales that are super cheap right now but could go absolutely bonkers once the approvals finally roll in. Why Is the SEC Delaying ETF Approvals? While this may seem regressive from the SEC, it may actually be the opposite. NYSE and Cboe BZX recently filed applications with the SEC to liberalize ETF listing standards and make the process easier for exchanges. The exchanges propose removing the rigorous ETF application screening required under rule 19b-4, allowing equity, bond, and crypto ETFs that meet certain pre-set criteria to be listed directly without a separate filing. Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg ETF analyst, believes the SEC plans to first approve these applications to shorten the ETF approval process and then move to greenlight all pending ETF applications. He added that the exchange applications may be approved in October, potentially triggering a ‘flood of ETF approvals’ in the following months. So, these constant delays are not just roadblocks. They appear to be part of a calculated SEC strategy to not only approve ETFs but also streamline future listings. Since ETFs open the door for large-scale institutional investment, this could be a game-changer. On the bright side, this gives…

Affordable Cryptocurrency Under $0.05 That Could be the Next Solana (SOL)

Affordable Cryptocurrency Under $0.05 That Could be the Next Solana (SOL)

The post Affordable Cryptocurrency Under $0.05 That Could be the Next Solana (SOL) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While the crypto market remains on the lookout for its next big gainer, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is garnering buzzcoin potential. The project is tantalizing early adopters with its game-changing approach to decentralized lending and micro-liquidity pools. Mutuum Finance is in its sixth phase of presale with all tokens available for $0.035. The project has over $15.6 million in funds raised and over 16,200 backers. With more and more discourse about its revolutionary DeFi innovations and more mentions on major crypto news blogs, Mutuum Finance is shining in the spotlight and can be the next Solana (SOL). Solana (SOL) Keeps Rolling After Recent Surge Solana (SOL) is priced at approximately $218.56, showing an astonishing intraday rise of 4.5% after recent highs. The asset appears solid with high-volume trades, heightened on-chain volume, and buyer demand after such huge upgrades as Firedancer and rising total value locked. While collective market interest continues to be on more affordable cryptos at the sub-$0.05 level for breakout sometime in the future, eyes are opening up in larger circles to look at future-proof protocols as well, including Mutuum Finance (MUTM). Mutuum Finance Presale Momentum Sixth round of MUTM token sale confirms the longevity of the project with an all-time high of $15.6 million and registering more than 16,200 investors. Investors in this round will enjoy humongous profits once the token goes live. Mutuum Finance is building an entire ecosystem that will consist of a stablecoin, on the Ethereum network for maximum security and stability.  $50,000 Bug Bounty Program For assurance of the safety of the platform, Mutuum Finance has implemented a Bug Bounty Program in partnership with CertiK whose reward value is up to $50,000 USDT.

Reshaping the Ecosystem From Crypto Trading To Traditional Assets

Reshaping the Ecosystem From Crypto Trading To Traditional Assets

The post Reshaping the Ecosystem From Crypto Trading To Traditional Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A Year of Rapid Rise: 50 Million Users Witness the RWA Revolution’s Genesis Formerly known as JuCoin, the platform has officially rebranded as Ju.com. This brand transition signals not only the company’s ambition to become a global ecosystem, but also highlights how the integration of blockchain with traditional assets is transforming the fundamental logic of capital markets. User Base and Data: Explosive Growth in Just One Year Since the arrival of the new management team in 2024, Ju.com’s data curve and product capabilities have experienced an undeniable surge. Registered users soared from five million to fifty million in a single year. Daily trading volume rose to five billion dollars. The JU token price, once at $0.10, broke past the $20 mark, making it one of the strongest-performing ecosystem tokens of the year. The global community has surpassed 26 million members. Ju.com now operates in over 100 countries and regions. On the technical side, the JuChain L1 blockchain delivers fast one-second block times and is EVM-compatible, with more than a million on-chain interaction addresses, enabling users to freely switch multi-chain assets through a seamless interface. Mechanism Innovation: The JU Growth Story and Engines This momentum did not come from a single product or marketing slogans, but rather from persistent mechanism innovation and authentic community consensus. The JU story began with an IDO refund airdrop, where users participated at zero cost. This early-stage distribution model significantly lowered investment risk. The platform replaced traditional fundraising with a “protect the investor first” approach, enabling early users to hold JU at minimal cost, with wide distribution around the $2 level, which fostered a solid base of community consensus. As JuChain and JuCard ecosystem applications launched, JU gradually became the platform’s unified payment and utility token, with both trading fee discounts and governance rights driving demand.…

SEC delays Franklin and BlackRock crypto ETF decisions

SEC delays Franklin and BlackRock crypto ETF decisions

The post SEC delays Franklin and BlackRock crypto ETF decisions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has delayed decisions on multiple crypto exchange traded funds (ETF) proposals Wednesday, pushing back deadlines for funds including BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. According to SEC filings, the agency has set a new deadline of Nov. 13 for Franklin’s Ethereum staking amendment, and Nov. 14 for its Solana and XRP ETFs. A proposal seeking to permit staking in BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust is now slated for Oct. 30. The filings do not indicate how the SEC is leaning on the applications; only that more time is needed to evaluate them. The commission is using the maximum extension available before issuing a final decision. Franklin’s proposals for the Ethereum, Solana and XRP products were filed with Cboe BZX in mid-March, while Nasdaq submitted BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum staking amendment on July 16. Under Section 19(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, the SEC has up to 45 days from publication to act on a proposed rule change, which can extend to 90 or 180 days, and in some cases by an additional 60 days.  Related: BlackRock leads $287M spot Ether ETF inflows after 4-day outflow streak ETF delays continue to pile up at the SEC The SEC has dramatically shifted its stance on digital assets since US President Donald Trump took office in January.  On July 31, SEC Chair Paul Atkins unveiled “Project Crypto,” a commission-wide initiative to modernize securities rules and bring digital asset trading, lending and staking under a unified framework. At the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Roundtable on Global Financial Markets in Paris Wednesday, Atkins underscored the pivot, declaring, “Crypto’s time has come.”  Despite the pro-crypto push, the SEC continues to delay decisions on ETF applications, with proposals piling up across altcoin and staking products. On Tuesday, the federal agency postponed decisions on the…
