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.

How Netflix’s Long Story Short Uses Circular Storytelling To Stand Out

How Netflix’s Long Story Short Uses Circular Storytelling To Stand Out

The post How Netflix’s Long Story Short Uses Circular Storytelling To Stand Out appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 18: Raphael Bob-Waksberg attends Netflix’s ‘Long Story Short’ Los Angeles Special Screening at Netflix Tudum Theater on August 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Gonzalo Marroquin/Getty Images for Netflix) Getty Images for Netflix Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the creator of Netflix’s BoJack Horseman, is back on Netflix with a new series, Long Story Short. The story follows a Jewish family across five generations, from childhood to adulthood, blending laughs and tear-jerking moments, just like in Bob-Waksberg’s other shows. What makes Long Story Short different from his earlier work is its use of circular storytelling. Instead of guiding the audience from point A to point B and then to point C, the story loops back, with the beginning and end of the season starting and ending on similar notes. This approach highlights strong storytelling and ends on a tone that is both somber and hopeful. Despite being greenlit for a second season, Long Story Short tells a story that feels complete on its own. In today’s streaming era, many shows try to cram as much content as possible into limited episodes, aiming to quickly hook viewers in hopes of renewal. Long Story Short doesn’t seem to do that; it feels organic, and the 30-minute episodes, even some shown out of order, tell a continuous story that leaves viewers feeling like they know these characters intimately. A Story That’s Circular and Nonlinear LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – AUGUST 18: (L-R) Abbi Jacobson, Ben Feldman, Angelique Cabral, Nicole Byer, Lisa Edelstein, Michaela Dietz, Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Max Greenfield attend Netflix’s ‘Long Story Short’ Los Angeles Special Screening at Netflix Tudum Theater on August 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

Crash And Burn: Why Trade Contractors Fail

Crash And Burn: Why Trade Contractors Fail

The post Crash And Burn: Why Trade Contractors Fail appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Trade contractors rank among the most common businesses to fail in the United States. Research consistently shows that construction-related businesses rank among the industries with the lowest survival rates. Shutterstock Technical service providers play a critical role in ensuring our homes and businesses run smoothly. Specialty trade contractors, such as HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers and carpenters, have skills that touch nearly every aspect of our lives. They keep our businesses and homes comfortable, the lights on, and our water flowing safely. They ensure buildings are built to code and maintained to protect health and safety. These professionals dedicate years to mastering their craft and take immense pride in their work. Yet, despite their importance to society, more contractors fail than succeed. Research consistently shows that construction-related businesses rank among the industries with the lowest survival rates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only about 44% of construction-related businesses survive to the five-year mark, and barely 43% last 10 years. When narrowed down to HVAC, plumbing, and specialty trades, the numbers look even more troubling: industry groups have reported failure rates as high as 70% within the first year. For an industry that holds so much responsibility, these statistics present a serious challenge. According to David Brooks, founder of Contractor Rhino—a company dedicated to helping home service and trade contractors build sustainable, scalable businesses, “Too often, new owners assume that great technical skills will automatically attract and keep customers. Without systems for lead generation, pricing correctly, and tracking performance, they burn through cash quickly.” The Converted Technician At the root of the problem is what many call the “converted technician.” The U.S. Bank Study (via SCORE) found that 82% of business failures are due to poor cash flow management or a lack of understanding of cash flow. For trade contractors,…

Solana TVL Jumps To New ATH Of $34B; Circle, Kamino, Jupiter, Jito, & Santum Driving Ecosystem Growth

Solana TVL Jumps To New ATH Of $34B; Circle, Kamino, Jupiter, Jito, & Santum Driving Ecosystem Growth

The post Solana TVL Jumps To New ATH Of $34B; Circle, Kamino, Jupiter, Jito, & Santum Driving Ecosystem Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana is experiencing a market rally as the network’s TVL reaches a new all-time high. According to fresh data shared today by market analyst Token Terminal, the ecosystem’s TVL has cruised to a new high of $34 billion, overtaking the previous high of $9 billion noted in December 2024. 🏦⛓️ SCALING DEFI: @solana‘s ecosystem TVL is at an all-time high of ~$34 billion, up ~200% YoY. Top 5 apps by TVL: Circle, Kamino, Jupiter, Jito, and Sanctum. pic.twitter.com/QdGyBjUvXQ — Token Terminal 📊 (@tokenterminal) August 31, 2025 Enthusiasm in Solana Reaches New Highs Over the previous year, the value of tokens stored in Solana grew substantially, surging from $1.4 billion to $9.77 billion, a rise of about 600%. The increase in this value indicates that more digital asset customers are interacting with apps on Solana, highlighting confidence in their offerings and security. The surge in this value suggests its native asset, SOL, is experiencing increasing adoption and preference among customers. This rise showcases increased enthusiasm in Solana-based DApps and protocols. If this trend continues, it could potentially bolster further SOL price growth, as surging TVL normally associates with heightened ecosystem activity and demand for the token.    Top Five DeFi Projects Driving Solana’s Value The above remarkable figures show robust market confidence and indicate the massive economic activity taking place beneath the Solana ecosystem. At the core of this activity are cutting-edge DeFi protocols that lock up huge assets, process billions in monthly trading volume, and create strong applications for SOL. While Solana has multiple projects running on top of its ecosystem, the data listed the top five apps that contributed most to the network’s TVL growth, including Circle, Kamino, Jupiter, Jito, and Santum.   Circle Circle, the issuer of USDC stablecoin, is the leading DeFi protocol on the Solana network, according to…

Ethereum (ETH) Price Set to Touch $8500 in 2025, But Traders Looking for the Next 40x Back Mutuum Finance (MUTM)

The post Ethereum (ETH) Price Set to Touch $8500 in 2025, But Traders Looking for the Next 40x Back Mutuum Finance (MUTM)  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While Ethereum (ETH) is set for a new high of $8,500 in 2025, the actual hype in the crypto market is moving in a new direction, to Mutuum Finance (MUTM).  The initial MUTM investors will receive a minimum of 300% list ROI.

Ethereum Holds Steady as Market Eyes $8,500 Potential Ethereum (ETH) currently trades at a price of $4,489.65 and the market is currently stable after the fluctuations experienced in the last few weeks. Analysts have it that as the broader crypto trend endures, ETH might reach the level of 8,500 in 2025 given the intensive utilization of smart-contracts and institutional inflows.

What’s behind XRP’s move to DeFi?

What’s behind XRP’s move to DeFi?

The post What’s behind XRP’s move to DeFi? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The following is a guest post and analysis from Vincent Maliepaard, Marketing Director at Sentora. 2025 has marked a turning point for XRP, combining explosive price gains with transformative shifts in its core narrative. In July, the token hit an all-time high of $3.58, propelled in part by decisive legal victories. Beyond price action, Ripple’s launch of the RLUSD stablecoin has gained significant traction, and the network is now doubling down on expanding XRP’s footprint in the DeFi ecosystem. The foundation of XRP’s breakout was laid when the SEC dropped its lawsuit against Ripple, removing a significant regulatory overhang that had suppressed institutional interest for years. This legal resolution as well as the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly policy framework, including the GENIUS Act, catalyzed a broader bull market across digital assets. The token has also benefited from a strategic revaluation as institutional investors engaged in speculative rotation toward under-owned large-cap cryptocurrencies, recognizing XRP as a legitimate capital layer rather than a speculative trading vehicle. This thesis was reinforced by Ripple’s launch of the RLUSD stablecoin in late 2024, which quickly scaled to a $600 million market cap and demonstrated real-world utility in driving adoption momentum. The ecosystem expansion has continued with the launch of the XRPL EVM sidechain, enhancing interoperability and smart contract functionality, while anticipation builds around the potential approval of an XRP ETF that could further accelerate institutional adoption. Let’s dive in for a breakdown of XRP’s growth and momentum, new players in the ecosystem and XRP’s breakthrough in DeFi. XRP’s Growth and Momentum XRP’s concentration dynamics reveal a mature institutional ownership structure that mirrors traditional financial assets, with the top 10 wallets controlling approximately 41% of circulating supply, expanding to 50% among the top 20 holders and over 70% within the top 100. This concentration pattern indicates institutional…

Solana (SOL) Price Prediction: Q4 Growth Potential and Viral Altcoin to Watch for 25-50x Gains

The post Solana (SOL) Price Prediction: Q4 Growth Potential and Viral Altcoin to Watch for 25-50x Gains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As Solana (SOL) continues to draw traders’ attention with its robust network performance and growing ecosystem, market analysts are eyeing its Q4 trajectory with cautious optimism. However, the real buzz in the crypto market is surrounding Mutuum Finance (MUTM), an emerging DeFi player being tipped as a potential viral altcoin capable of delivering 25x–50x gains. The project’s presale token price is at $0.035 in phase 6. Experts assert that the new token can explode with phenomenal gains in the coming months. It will increase by 14.29% to $0.04 in phase 7.

Analysts highlight strengthened on-chain fundamentals, particularly growing DEX volume, rising whale activity, and upcoming network upgrades like the Alpenglow protocol, as key drivers that could support a breakout beyond the $220–$235 zone, possibly paving the way toward targets in the $250–$300 range. Investors FOMO into Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Stage 6 Presale Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is currently priced at $0.035 in presale stage 6.

Can BTCfi Keep Miners Secure?

Can BTCfi Keep Miners Secure?

The post Can BTCfi Keep Miners Secure? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Daily transaction fees on the Bitcoin network have collapsed by more than 80% since April, according to a report from Galaxy Digital. As of August 2025, nearly 15% of blocks are “free,” meaning they’re being mined with minimal or no transaction fees, just one satoshi per virtual byte or less. Lower Bitcoin (BTC) transaction fees benefit users but reduce miners’ revenue, raising concerns about the sustainability of the network’s long-term security model. Bitcoin’s incentive structure relies on miners being compensated for their work through block rewards and transaction fees. But with the April 2024 halving cutting rewards to 3.125 BTC per block, miners are leaning heavily on the fee market, and it’s drying up. “As block rewards shrink, more weight falls on transaction fees,” Pierre Samaties, chief business officer at the Dfinity Foundation, told Cointelegraph. “If usage does not grow, that base thins, and the guarantees weaken. Sustained throughput is essential for the system to defend itself.” Average Bitcoin transaction fees. Source: Galaxy Digital Related: Bitcoin 2025 builders predict DeFi will unseat traditional finance Bitcoin onchain activity slumps Bitcoin’s onchain activity has slowed significantly since the decline of non-monetary trends like Ordinals and Runes. Galaxy’s report notes that OP_RETURN transactions, used heavily during the 2024 Ordinals boom, now account for just 20% of daily volume, down from over 60% at their peak. Meanwhile, alternative layer 1s like Solana are gaining traction for high-frequency use cases like memecoins and NFTs. Furthermore, the rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which now hold over 1.3 million BTC, has pushed more BTC volume offchain, limiting movement that would otherwise generate fees. Bitcoin’s fee market is elastic by design, meaning that fees rise when demand surges and fall when activity slows. However, if demand continues to shrink, miners may be left with too little incentive to…
