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.

Celsius to Begin 3rd Distribution of $220.6 Million to Eligible Creditors

Celsius to Begin 3rd Distribution of $220.6 Million to Eligible Creditors

The post Celsius to Begin 3rd Distribution of $220.6 Million to Eligible Creditors  appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Celsius, a defunct cryptocurrency lending platform currently undergoing a court-approved reorganization plan, has announced the commencement of the third funds distribution to creditors. According to the announcement, Celsius will distribute $220.6 million to creditors through the approved methods.  After distributing 93 percent of the funds owed to creditors last year, Celsius will begin distributing the remaining funds to eligible creditors on August 20, 2025. Moreover, the approved restructuring plan, which involved creating the Bitcoin mining company Ionic Digital, intends to facilitate maximum funds recovery for the distressed creditors. What are the Sources of Funds to Facilitate Celsius’ 3rd Distribution  According to the court filing, about $63.2 million of the Celsius funds will be used to facilitate legal fees among other administrative expenses. The funds from the disallowed claims of Alexander Mashinsky and related entities amount to $17 million. The disputed and contingent claims reserve release amounted to $86.4 million. Meanwhile, $46.3 million came from forfeited claims and $7.7 million from expunged claims. Closer Look at the Distribution Plan The Celsius funds distribution will primarily happen in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Approved creditors must pass the set Know-Your Customer (KYC) to facilitate funds transfer with highlighted platforms led by Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) and PayPal. However, some Celsius users, particularly corporate creditors may receive their funds in the United States dollar. Meanwhile, the equity shares of the Ionic Digital will help the defunct lending platform repay a higher recovery plan to the distressed creditors, with some estimates suggesting the Celsius users could receive between 67 percent and 85 percent of their holdings. Ahead of the planned third Celsius distribution, the creditors have been cautioned against rising phishing scams.

MetaMask x TRON: A New Era for Web3 Access

MetaMask x TRON: A New Era for Web3 Access

The post MetaMask x TRON: A New Era for Web3 Access appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TRON DAO just made a big move. The community-led organization announced a partnership with MetaMask. The result? TRON will be natively integrated into the world’s most popular self-custodial wallet. This isn’t small. It changes how millions of MetaMask users connect with TRON’s ecosystem. And it fits perfectly with TRON’s mission to make blockchain simple, fast, and open to everyone. What it means for TRON and many more First, global access. TRON already dominates in Asia. It has strong presence in South America, Africa, and Europe. Now, MetaMask users everywhere can access TRON without needing a new wallet. One wallet. One interface. No walls left standing. Second, smooth experience. TRON’s blockchain is quick, over 2,000 transactions per second. Fees? Less than a cent. That means MetaMask users can now explore TRON’s major dApps like JustLend DAO and SunSwap without worrying about gas. Everything in one place. Third, stablecoin power. TRON is the biggest stablecoin network in the world. More than $82B worth of USDT circulates on TRON. That’s unmatched. With MetaMask in the mix, that stablecoin liquidity is now easier to reach than ever. 🚨Breaking TRON just linked up with MetaMask and it’s huge. Metamask will add support for the TRON network, opening Tron’s ecosystem dApps, TRC20 tokens like USDT, USDD to metamask’s 100M+ users. It’s safe to say Tron’s reach just got massive. What does this mean?– Global… pic.twitter.com/HD4VgGNWAd — Leila (@chimpnzee) August 19, 2025 How it’s done This isn’t a bridge. It isn’t a pegged TRX token. TRON’s team worked directly with MetaMask to build native integration. That means users will manage TRX, stake, and move assets right inside the MetaMask interface. It’s clean. It’s secure. It’s real Web3 infrastructure. Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi from MetaMask put it simply: “This connects ecosystems and opens doors.” Justin Sun, founder of TRON, was…

HBAR Price Risks Breakdown as Hedera Network Activity Plunges

HBAR Price Risks Breakdown as Hedera Network Activity Plunges

The post HBAR Price Risks Breakdown as Hedera Network Activity Plunges appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Since July 17, Hedera Hashgraph’s native token, HBAR, has trended mostly sideways. Despite several attempts at an upward breakout, market volatility and growing bearish sentiment have repeatedly prevented this.  Now, with Hedera showing signs of weakening user demand, HBAR risks extended consolidation or even deeper losses. Falling TVL and DEX Volumes Put HBAR’s Price Stability at Risk Over the past few days, user activity on the Hedera network has declined, marked by a drop in its total value locked (TVL). Per Artemis data, this currently sits at $129 million, down 5% since August 14. For token TA and market updates: Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. Hedera TVL. Source: Artemis TVL measures the total capital deposited across a network’s decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, making it a key gauge of investor confidence and user demand. A rising TVL reflects increasing activity and demand, as more users lock assets into lending, staking, or liquidity pools. Conversely, a falling TVL signals declining participation, reduced liquidity, and waning confidence. Therefore, Hedera’s falling TVL suggests a dip in users engaging with its DeFi ecosystem, adding pressure to HBAR’s already stagnant price action. Further, the fall in decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes on Hedera confirms the plummeting user activity on the network. In the past week, this has dropped by nearly 60%, according to Artemis. Hedera DEX Volume. Source: Artemis A decline in DEX volume reflects weakening transaction flow, with fewer users swapping, trading, or providing liquidity across the network’s protocols.  This reduction in trading momentum limits Hedera’s on-chain activity and highlights reduced speculative interest in its native token. It dampens short-term price recovery hopes and increases the risk of extended stagnation or a bearish breakdown if demand remains absent.  Can HBAR Hold $0.227? On the daily chart,…

South Korea Halts New Crypto Lending, Guidelines in the Works

South Korea Halts New Crypto Lending, Guidelines in the Works

The post South Korea Halts New Crypto Lending, Guidelines in the Works appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. South Korea’s top financial regulator ordered crypto exchanges to suspend new digital asset lending services, citing mounting risks and highlighting a need for clear rules.  The Financial Services Commission (FSC) said on Tuesday that it sent letters to exchanges requesting the suspension of new crypto lending until it completes guidelines. Existing contracts, like repayments and maturity extensions, will be permitted.  On July 31, the FSC and the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced they had formed a joint task force to develop a regulatory framework for crypto lending. The guidelines are expected to cover leverage limits, user eligibility and risk disclosures for virtual asset lending activities.   The FSC said it would conduct on-site inspections and take supervisory action against platforms that failed to comply. Forced liquidations highlight urgent need for clear rules The move follows reports of widespread user losses, including thousands of forced liquidations in exchange-run lending programs. One unidentified exchange drew about 27,600 users in a month after launching a lending service in mid-June, the FSC said. The platform recorded about 1.5 trillion Korean won ($1.1 billion) in volume. Of those users, about 13%, or 3,635 people, suffered forced liquidations as their crypto positions fell in value. The FSC also pointed to two companies that offered Tether (USDT) lending services, which triggered a surge in selling volume and an unusual decline in USDT prices. The agency said continuing new lending operations without safeguards could further damage investor funds. Related: South Korean banks plan won-pegged stablecoin launch by 2026 Crypto lending a gray area in South Korea Since 2020, South Korea has laid foundational regulatory groundwork for virtual asset service providers (VASPs). This includes Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Travel Rule mandates under the revised Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information.  In 2023, the country’s Virtual Asset User…

And it’s coming at a very important time. 📌 What Happened Solana briefly processed over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) in a live stress test. That’s well above Visa’s ~65,000 TPS benchmark and 25x Solana’s normal throughput. But the test used “no-op” transactions – empty instructions that don’t represent real-world transfers or swaps. Today, actual economic activity on Solana still averages closer to 1,000–1,400 TPS once validator votes are excluded. 🗣️ What They’re Saying “The main point I want to get across is that Solana needs more efficient programs and an efficient token standard. High capacity enables the world’s markets to all be on-chain. Without the capacity, we can only ever hope to support a handful.” – Dr. Cavey PHD He added that with efficient programs, Solana could realistically hit 80k–100k token transfers per second, or 10k–20k swaps, estimating deployment could happen “three months at best, six months at worst.” “It means that Solana is ready to support web-scale applications today.” – Kyle Samani (Multicoin Capital) 🧠 Why It Matters There are a few key items of note here. First, this milestone shows Solana’s raw technical ceiling but also the gap between stress-test performance and live…
