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.

Helius Joins Solana Treasury Trend With $500 Million Funding For New DAT Strategy

Helius Joins Solana Treasury Trend With $500 Million Funding For New DAT Strategy

Nasdaq-listed firm Helius Medical Technologies Inc. unveiled the launch of a $500 million Solana-focused Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) backed by Pantera Capital and Summer Capital. Related Reading: Bitcoin Consolidates Above $115K As Market Eyes Fed’s Sept 17 Policy Move Helius Reveals Solana Treasury Strategy On Monday, Helius Medical Technologies, a neurotech company in the medical device field, announced an oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE) offering of common stock to launch a new Solana treasury strategy. The offering, led by Pantera Capital and Summer Capital, is estimated to raise $500 million and an additional $750 million in stapled warrants to purchase shares of common stock, assuming full exercise. Additionally, Big Brain Holdings, Avenir, SinoHope, FalconX, Arrington Capital, Animoca Brands, Aspen Digital, Borderless, Laser Digital, HashKey Capital, and Republic Digital are also participating in the offering, which is expected to close on September 18, 2025. Following the closing, the company’s management team will include Summer Capital’s founder, Joseph Chee, as Director and Executive Chairman, Pantera’s General Partner, Cosmo Jiang, as Board Observer, and Pantera Capital’s founder, Dan Morehead, as Strategic Advisor. According to the announcement, Helius intends to use the offering’s proceeds to implement a DAT strategy and purchase Solana’s native token, SOL, to make it the company’s primary treasury reserve asset. Notably, the company expects to build an initial SOL position, with plans to significantly scale holdings over the next 12–24 months through a best-in-class capital markets program, incorporating ATM sales and other proven strategies. Additionally, it will evaluate staking, lending, and other opportunities throughout the ecosystem to generate revenue from the SOL Treasury, while maintaining a conservative risk profile, the company explained. Institutions Push SOL Adoption Cosmo Jiang told news media outlet Fortune he believes there can only be a handful of successful public companies dedicated to just one cryptocurrency, affirming that “just as much as it is about scale, it’s about velocity.” “We’d much rather start with a moderate size so that we can really go out to market and grow very quickly, rather than start too big and then have a harder time growing on a percentage basis,” he said. He affirmed that the deal structure for this Solana treasury company positions it to be competitive: “We believe we have the right setup to be the leading, if not, at least one of the two or three, but certainly the leading, Solana DAT.” It’s worth noting that recently, Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital announced their plan to establish Forward Industries, a SOL treasury company, to purchase the cryptocurrency, stake it, and generate excess returns. The company successfully closed its PIPE financing on September 11, securing gross proceeds of approximately $1.65 billion. Related Reading: Lower Bitcoin Dominance Reinforces Altcoin Strength — Here’s How In the press release, he also highlighted that “there is a real opportunity to drive the flywheel of creating shareholder value that Michael Saylor has pioneered with Strategy (…) by accelerating Solana adoption.” Meanwhile, Dan Morehead affirmed that Solana is a “category-defining blockchain and the foundation on which a new financial system will be built,” adding that “a productive treasury company, backing the industry’s most affordable, fastest, and most accessible network, stands to substantially increase institutional and retail access to the Solana ecosystem and help fuel its adoption around the world.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The post Crypto Lender Maple Expands to Tether-Backed Plasma appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency lending platform Maple Finance has deployed syrupUSDT on Plasma, a payments-focused blockchain backed by Tether, in its first major move to expand the product beyond Ethereum. Starting tomorrow, users will be able to deposit the token into a Midas-hosted vault that offers yield while distributing rewards tied to Plasma’s upcoming mainnet launch and token generation event. Future integrations with decentralized finance protocols on Plasma are planned as the network builds out. “This launch underscores our excitement over Plasma and its importance as a payments ecosystem,” Maple CEO Sid Powell said in a statement. He added that distributing yield-bearing dollar products across chains is central to Maple’s push to grow liquidity and hit $5 billion in assets under management by the end of 2025. Plasma is designed to process transactions quickly while focusing on USDT as its base asset. For Maple, the chain’s infrastructure could provide a natural fit for products like syrupUSDT, which package stablecoins into vaults that generate returns. The launch continues a year of rapid growth for Maple, which has already expanded to Solana and Arbitrum. Its syrupUSDC recently crossed $1 billion in supply, underscoring the demand for tokenized yield products across blockchain ecosystems.

BitcoinWorld Revolutionary Yunfeng Financial Crypto Services: $150M Fuels Hong Kong’s Digital Leap The financial landscape in Hong Kong is witnessing a significant transformation as Yunfeng Financial, a prominent Hong Kong-listed firm, makes a bold move into the digital asset space. This exciting development marks a new era for investors seeking access to innovative Yunfeng Financial crypto services. What’s Driving Yunfeng Financial’s Crypto Ambition? Yunfeng Financial recently announced a substantial capital injection, raising an impressive HKD 1.17 billion, equivalent to $150 million, through a strategic new share issuance. This significant funding round is not just about expanding their existing operations; it’s a clear signal of their intent to diversify into the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market. A substantial portion of these newly acquired funds is earmarked for the ambitious launch of dedicated Yunfeng Financial crypto services. These services will encompass both cryptocurrency trading and comprehensive investment management, opening new avenues for both institutional and retail investors. The company’s strategic pivot is particularly noteworthy given its association with Yunfeng Capital, a firm co-founded by Alibaba’s visionary leader, Jack Ma. This connection lends considerable weight and credibility to Yunfeng Financial’s foray into digital assets. Unpacking the Vision: Which Cryptos Are on Yunfeng’s Radar? Yunfeng Financial has already expressed its clear intentions regarding specific digital assets. The company plans to actively accumulate a portfolio including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). This selection reflects a strategic approach to the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin (BTC), often dubbed ‘digital gold,’ is the pioneering and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, known for its store-of-value proposition. Ethereum (ETH) powers the vast decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem and numerous decentralized applications (dApps), offering extensive utility beyond just a currency. Solana (SOL) stands out for its high transaction speeds and low costs, making it a strong contender for scalable blockchain applications. These choices indicate a well-thought-out strategy to tap into both established market leaders and promising high-growth platforms, forming the backbone of their new Yunfeng Financial crypto services.

Enhanced Security: Operating under a regulated framework provides a layer of security and compliance often missing in unregulated platforms. Professional Management: The investment management services offer expert guidance for navigating the volatile crypto landscape. Diversification Potential: Investors can diversify their portfolios beyond traditional assets with exposure to leading cryptocurrencies. This move could also catalyze further institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies in Hong Kong, solidifying its position as a leading financial hub for digital innovation. Navigating the Challenges of Crypto Adoption While the opportunities are vast, launching Yunfeng Financial crypto services also comes with its share of challenges that the company and investors will need to navigate carefully. Regulatory Evolution: The global regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies is still evolving, requiring constant adaptation. Market Volatility: Cryptocurrencies are known for their price fluctuations, which can pose risks for investors. Technological Risks: Security breaches and technical vulnerabilities, though rare in regulated environments, remain a concern. Investor Education: There’s a need to educate traditional investors about the unique characteristics and risks associated with digital assets. Yunfeng Financial’s success will largely depend on its ability to mitigate these risks while delivering robust and reliable Yunfeng Financial crypto services. Yunfeng Financial’s strategic leap into the cryptocurrency sector, backed by significant funding and a clear vision for accumulating major digital assets, signals a pivotal moment for both the company and Hong Kong’s financial ecosystem. By offering comprehensive trading and investment management services, they are poised to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the burgeoning digital economy.

Coinbase Is Considering Launching a Token for Ethereum Network Base

Coinbase Is Considering Launching a Token for Ethereum Network Base

The post Coinbase Is Considering Launching a Token for Ethereum Network Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase said Monday that it is “exploring” a token launch for Base, its Ethereum layer-2 network, following years of saying that it wasn’t actively considering the prospect. During a presentation at Monday’s livestreamed Basecamp event in Stowe, Vermont, Coinbase Head of Base Jesse Pollak confirmed that potential token plans are in the works. “Base is beginning to explore a network token,” the network’s official account posted to X afterwards. “We’re in the early phases of exploration, and don’t have any specifics to share around timing, design, or governance. We’re committed to bringing the community along with us, and building in the open.” “Yes, Base is exploring a network token, but has no definitive plans,” the official Coinbase account added. “We’re exploring how a network token could help us accelerate our joint mission.” Decrypt has reached out to Coinbase for comment. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told Decrypt in late 2023 that the San Francisco-based exchange was “not planning to make any token” for Base. At the time, he said Coinbase was “very happy” with Base’s first few months of growth. His comments appeared to conflict with those from Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal, who told Decrypt months prior that “a token could be viable at some point in the future,” and that it was “not something we’ve ruled out entirely.” Luke Youngblood, founder of decentralized lending app Moonwell, told Decrypt that it was his first time visiting Stowe, known for its outdoor recreation and colorful fall foliage. He attended Base’s annual event last year in Idlewild, California, too. “I woke up this morning and walked outside. It was the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen before,” he told Decrypt. “It seems like an idyllic place.”  Youngblood, a former Coinbase employee, said that he was “totally surprised” to learn the firm is exploring…
