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.

Pantera Capital CEO – At $1.1B, ‘Our Biggest Position Is Solana’

Pantera Capital CEO – At $1.1B, ‘Our Biggest Position Is Solana’

The post Pantera Capital CEO – At $1.1B, ‘Our Biggest Position Is Solana’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Pantera Capital CEO Dan Morehead says Solana is the firm’s largest position, with $1.1 billion on its books He points to Solana’s performance over the last four years, which has been better than Bitcoin’s It’s not a winner-take-all, however; there will be several important blockchains, just like there are internet companies, but for now, Solana is in the lead Pantera Capital CEO Dan Morehead just made waves in the crypto world. As the first US institutional asset manager focused exclusively on blockchain technology, Pantera has been investing in digital assets since 2013. Where Pantera leads, others follow, and right now, the firm is placing all its bets on Solana. Morehead told CNBC yesterday that Solana is the firm’s biggest position, with $1.1 billion in SOL on its books. That’s not chump change. It’s more than what Pantera Capital holds in Bitcoin or Ethereum right now. Solana Flips The Script for Pantera Capital Why Solana? Morehead is clear. Solana has outperformed Bitcoin in the last four years, he says. He told CNBC that Pantera was “100% Bitcoin” before. But now, the firm has pivoted since Solana has outpaced both Ethereum and Bitcoin, and is growing fast. Indeed, the SOL price has jumped from $0.61 in 2020 to well beyond $200 per coin at its highest. Over 28,000% return. Those numbers just don’t lie. Solana Price Chart | Source: TradingView The Pantera Capital CEO also points to transaction speed. Solana handles “9 billion transactions a day, which is more than all capital markets combined.” Its network works, not just for traders but for real-world finance as well. That’s a major achievement for crypto. Pantera Capital CEO Says No Winner Takes All Morehead isn’t tribal. He doesn’t believe in one chain ruling them all. Just as the internet has many successful…

Coinbase Policy Chief Pushes Back on Bank Warnings That Stablecoins Threaten Deposits

Coinbase Policy Chief Pushes Back on Bank Warnings That Stablecoins Threaten Deposits

Contrary to claims from the U.S. banking industry, stablecoins do not pose a risk to the financial system, according to the chief policy officer at crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN), Faryar Shirzad. Banks' claims that they do are are myths crafted to defend their revenues, he wrote in a Tueday blog post."The central claim — that stablecoins will cause a mass outflow of bank deposits — simply doesn’t hold up," Shirzad wrote. "Recent analysis shows no meaningful link between stablecoin adoption and deposit flight for community banks and there’s no reason to believe big banks would fare any worse."Larger lenders still hold trillions of dollars at the Federal Reserve and if deposits were really at risk, he argued, they would be competing harder for customer funds by offering higher interest rates rather than parking cash at the central bankAccording to Shirzad, the real reason for banks' opposition is the payments business. Stablecoins, digital tokens whose value is pegged to a real-life asset such as the dollar, offer faster and cheaper ways to move money, threatening an estimated $187 billion in annual swipe-fee revenue for traditional card networks and banks. He compared the current pushback to earlier battles against ATMs and online banking, when incumbents warned of systemic dangers but, he said, were ultimately trying to protect entrenched profits.Shirzad also dismissed reports predicting trillions in potential outflows from deposits into stablecoins, whose total market cap is around $290 billion, according to data from CoinGecko. He stressed that stablecoins are primarily used as payment tools — for trading digital assets or sending funds abroad — not as long-term savings products. Someone purchasing stablecoins to settle with an overseas supplier, he argued, is opting for a more efficient transaction method the going through their bank, not pulling money from a savings account.He urged banks to embrace the technology instead of resisting it, saying stablecoin rails could cut settlement times, lower correspondent banking costs and provide round-the-clock payments. Those institutions willing to adapt, he wrote, stand to benefit from the shift.The U.K., too, faces concerns about the effect of stablecoins on the financial industry.The Financial Times reported Monday that the Bank of England is considering setting limits on how many "systemic" stablecoins people and companies can hold — setting thresholds as low as 10,000 pounds ($13,600) for individuals and about 10 million pounds for businesses.Officials define systemic stablecoins as those already widely used for U.K. payments or expected to become so, and say the caps are needed to prevent sudden deposit outflows that could weaken lending and financial stability.

Pantera-backed Solana treasury firm Helius raises $500M

The post Pantera-backed Solana treasury firm Helius raises $500M appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Helius Medical Technologies launched a $500 million Solana-based corporate treasury reserve.

Helius Medical Technologies agreed to raise $500 million in equity and up to $750 million in warrants, assuming full exercise.

The digital asset has also been widely adopted, with around 3.7 million daily active wallets and over 23 billion transactions year to date.  The neurotech firm added that Solana offers a ~7% native staking yield compared to non-yield-bearing assets like BTC.

4 Tokens Projected to Dominate The Final Quarter of the Year Alongside Ethereum and XRP

4 Tokens Projected to Dominate The Final Quarter of the Year Alongside Ethereum and XRP

The post 4 Tokens Projected to Dominate The Final Quarter of the Year Alongside Ethereum and XRP appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The final quarter of 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal stretches of the year for digital assets. XRP is priced at $3.36, marked as a “Buy” on CoinGecko, with a steady 19.2% gain over the past 30 days. Ethereum (ETH) continues to attract institutional demand, holding at $3,540 with an 18.3% monthly gain. Yet four other tokens are emerging as serious contenders to dominate Q4: Little Pepe, Cardano, Render, and Arbitrum. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Presale Frenzy and Meme Momentum Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is carving out a niche at the intersection of meme culture and infrastructure. Blending meme coins’ lighthearted energy with Ethereum-based engineering is catching fire across the crypto landscape.  The numbers speak volumes. At Stage 12, each token is priced at $0.0021, with less than 2% tokens left and nearly $25 million raised out of a $25.47 million target. Analysts believe that once LILPEPE lists on exchanges, prices could quickly surge past launch levels, rewarding early buyers with substantial gains. Support from the community has also been stellar. With 38,800+ holders, nearly 30,000 active Telegram members, and more than 28,000 Twitter followers, Little Pepe has built a community that survives day in and day out. The team has burned the same with prize-winning giveaways, like a $777,000 reward pool where ten winners receive $77,000 tokens. Recently, Little Pepe announced a Mega Giveaway targeting top buyers between presale stages 12 and 17. With 15 ETH up for grabs across 15 winners, the promotion rewards serious participants and keeps the presale buzz alive as it nears completion. This type of gamified engagement propelled Dogecoin and Shiba Inu in earlier cycles, and LILPEPE is following with stronger infrastructure and planning behind it. Cardano (ADA): Research-Driven Growth Cardano (ADA) remains the crypto industry’s most formally academic project. It…
