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.

Arbitrum kicks off $40M reward program to boost DeFi growth

Arbitrum kicks off $40M reward program to boost DeFi growth

The post Arbitrum kicks off $40M reward program to boost DeFi growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Arbitrum, the largest Ethereum layer-2 protocol, has launched a new initiative designed to channel liquidity into decentralized finance. The DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP), announced on Sept. 3, will allocate up to $40 million in rewards to users performing targeted on-chain actions rather than simply generating attention. The program, structured by Entropy and powered by Merkl, will be managed by Entropy Advisors under the direction of ArbitrumDAO. According to the blockchain network, roughly 80 million ARB tokens have been earmarked for incentives across four distinct “seasons,” each focusing on a different corner of DeFi. The first season, which runs from Sept. 3, 2025, through Jan. 20, 2026, prioritizes looping leverage on lending markets. During this phase, users can earn up to 24 million ARB in rewards by borrowing against yield-bearing ETH and stablecoin assets on approved platforms. According to Arbitrum, the structure is performance-based and protocol-agnostic, meaning it will reward borrowing demand across multiple markets rather than concentrate liquidity in a single venue. Participating platforms include Aave, Morpho, Fluid, Euler, Dolomite, and Silo, with collateral options such as wstETH, eUSDC, and USDe.

Data from analytics platform Growthepie shows that nearly 13% of Ethereum’s application revenue now originates on layer-2 networks. Ethereum Layer-2 Ecosystem (Source: GrowThePie) In this space, Arbitrum retains a commanding lead within the ecosystem. Data from L2beat places its total value secured at more than $19.1 billion, outpacing Coinbase’s Base at $14.7 billion and OP Mainnet at $3.6 billion. These numbers reflect how Ethereum’s broader layer-2 ecosystem is maturing quickly,…

Ethereum’s largest L2 Arbitrum launches $40M program to promote DeFi growth

Ethereum’s largest L2 Arbitrum launches $40M program to promote DeFi growth

The post Ethereum’s largest L2 Arbitrum launches $40M program to promote DeFi growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Arbitrum Foundation has launched the DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP), and it is being touted as a significant initiative aimed at boosting decentralized finance (DeFi) activity on Arbitrum, Ethereum’s largest Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution by total value locked (TVL).  The program aims to reward users for engaging in specific DeFi actions, and the first season, which started on September 3, will last until January 20, 2026. The first season will focus on leveraging looping strategies on leading markets, particularly for yield-bearing ETH and stablecoins. What’s Arbitrum’s DRIP program? The ArbitrumDAO approved the creation of DRIP in June, earmarking 80 million ARB tokens, over $40 million, to be distributed over four seasons. Each season will target a specific DeFi use case, encouraging high-impact experimentation while amplifying liquidity, capital efficiency, and protocol growth across the ecosystem. Season One will be supported across select lending and borrowing protocols, including Aave, Morpho, Fluid, Euler, Dolomite, and Silo. Those who participate can earn ARB rewards for borrowing against a curated range of collateral types, such as: ETH-type collateral and stablecoin collateral. The targeted rollout will ensure protocols that are contributing meaningful innovation to DeFi receive incentive support, while users benefit from new opportunities to optimize strategies on Arbitrum. Prior to the official Season One launch, DRIP had already started attracting deployments from some prominent protocols in the space. Morpho, Euler, and Maple Finance are among those that have recently expanded operations onto the Arbitrum network, citing the program as a strong catalyst for growth. “DRIP isn’t about spraying incentives across the ecosystem and hoping something sticks,” said Matthew Fiebach, Co-Founder of Entropy Advisors. “It’s about directing resources where they create real, tangible outcomes.” Arbitrum is already one of the largest L2s by liquidity, but the launch of DRIP further amplifies its position as…

Cardano Founder Says Chainlink Quoted Them An ‘Absurd Price’, Here’s Why

Cardano Founder Says Chainlink Quoted Them An ‘Absurd Price’, Here’s Why

Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, has clarified why the blockchain platform was excluded from a prominent US government initiative meant to publish official economic data on public blockchains. Blockchain networks like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Optimism made the cut; Cardano didn’t. Hoskinson revealed during a YouTube AMA that the reason wasn’t technical or regulatory, but it was grounded in economics. Specifically, he said the integration fee quoted by Oracle specialist Chainlink was absurd, which made Cardano’s participation really unfeasible. Chainlink’s Absurd Fee As one of the biggest blockchain ecosystems, Cardano’s inability to participate in the US government’s recent blockchain initiative to bring macroeconomic data onto the blockchain took many crypto participants by surprise. However, while speaking at a recent surprise AMA on his YouTube channel, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the reason boils down to money.  Related Reading: Is XRP Coming To Cardano? Founder Sparks Speculation After Midnight Airdrop According to Hoskinson, the main reason was due to its pending partnership with Chainlink’s oracle integration, which is yet to be finalised because of the absurd fee charged by Chainlink. Hoskinson did not shy away from strong language: “They gave us an absurd number for integration. I said ‘f– it, we’ll handle it. We’ll figure it out,'” he said. Despite the frustration, he tempered his critique with respect. He described Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov as “extremely smart” and “a very good businessman”, someone who “sees the future” and, in Hoskinson’s words, is “sitting on a golden egg”.  Chainlink’s oracle solutions are very important for connecting smart contracts to real-world data. As such, Hoskinson’s metaphor acknowledges Chainlink’s powerful position in the blockchain ecosystem.  How It Stalls Cardano’s DeFi Growth Without a cost-effective oracle integration, Cardano’s decentralized finance landscape has struggled to keep pace with other blockchain ecosystems. To put this into perspective, Ethereum’s integration with Chainlink has allowed large inflows into its DeFi ecosystem, with about $13.4 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) added from between August 2 ($78.222 billion) and August 31 ($91.595 billion), according to data from DeFiLlama. Related Reading: Cardano Price To Rise 300% To $4? Analyst Reveals When Meanwhile, Cardano’s TVL broke below $400 million in August, and daily active addresses have also fallen massively. At the time of writing, Cardano’s TVL is sitting at $367.91 million. The result is a disconnect between Cardano’s on-chain activity and ADA’s price action, which witnessed a steady increase in August alongside the rest of the crypto market. Nonetheless, Hoskinson is still optimistic. Talks with Chainlink are ongoing, and he’s determined to find common ground with Chainlink. He also revealed discussions with the team behind the USD1 stablecoin and hinted at potential collaboration with Aave, which he described as part of a bundle. If USD1 (already launched on Ethereum, BNB, and Tron) comes to Cardano, it could become the ecosystem’s largest stablecoin. Combine that with oracle access and lending support from Chainlink, and Cardano could strengthen its DeFi foundations significantly. At the time of writing, Cardano is trading at $0.8307, up by 1.1% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

ONDO Price Climbs as Ondo Finance Launches Tokenized Stocks

ONDO Price Climbs as Ondo Finance Launches Tokenized Stocks

The post ONDO Price Climbs as Ondo Finance Launches Tokenized Stocks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. ONDO price has increased 2.45% today to $0.9716, along with an extension of its weekly returns to 3.14%. The token’s performance comes as Ondo Finance officially launched its Global Markets platform, a product designed to bring tokenized equities to Ethereum. New Launch Fuels Renewed Confidence In ONDO Price According to TradingView chart, the asset trades over $0.97, with $0.98 its short-term resistance level. The continuous demand would keep ONDO in recovery mode and could attract more investors to sustain this demand. The positive price action builds on ONDO’s 56.71% yearly gain. Despite a 27.61% decline year-to-date, the token remains up more than 223% from its all-time low. The token also displayed a similar move when 21Shares filed for an Ondo ETF. The launch of Ondo Global Markets has coincided with a renewed confidence in its native token. Meanwhile, the new platform introduces tokenized versions of U.S. stocks and ETFs for non-U.S. investors. At launch, more than 100 securities are available, with plans to expand to 1,000 by year-end, subject to jurisdictional restrictions. Ondo Global Markets uses a fully backed model. The actual underlying asset, whether registered as a U.S. broker-dealer and custodian, is the collateral of each tokenized stock. The design guarantees that tokens minted, redeemed and transferred can mirror the real-time value of that asset. This move builds on building on Ondo Finance’s acquisition of Oasis Pro to strengthen regulated tokenized securities infrastructure. Investors obtain transferability at any time of the day and redemption is available even after the U.S. market hours. Since liquidity is directly transferred to traditional exchanges, there is minimal slippage and tokenized shares are in close relation to underlying prices. This lessens distortions which have negatively impacted other tokenized equity products. Ondo’s Tokenized Assets Bring Equities into the DeFi Lending and Borrowing Ecosystem Beyond exposure…
