The 'hierarchy of moneyness’ is important for valuing cryptoassets. Top Money: .Stablecoins: Unit of account (basis for transacting).BTC: Non-sovereign Store of Value (basis for value) . Everything else can have monetary properties, but will be FAR lower on the hierarchy.

Lombard will be the only BTC (both wrapped & LST) on @katana. @0xPolygon is going all-in on agglayer with app-specific chains. @katana is a chain optimized for DeFi, in collaboration with @GSR_io. BTC deposits vaults live with competitive rewards.
Early liquidity wins. Katana's mainnet launches soon, unlocking a 15m $KAT reward pool for depositors ready to move first. Deposit LBTC now to start earning $KAT and incentives as soon as Katana goes live - and secure your share early!. More details 👇

When we started Lombard, I think @sunandr_ was our first call. Vaults have taken DeFi by storm, and Veda has led the charge. Veda (and other vaults) are simply a killer product —making TVL 10x more efficient. Congrats to the Veda team! @GoodStephV @joshkessler_ @aj_hammondd.
We’re extremely excited to announce that we’ve raised $18M to become the DeFi engine for financial apps. Led by @coinfund_io with participation from @cbventures, @MaelstromFund, @GSR_io, @AnimocaVentures, @BitGo and many others. Let’s talk about where this is going 🧵

TVLs are rising. Borrowing demand is growing. Yield options are expanding. Activity is ramping. DeFi is inevitable. And Spark?. It's the spark that binds it all.

WOW . On-chain finance: Put the rules on chain, open source the code. Full transparency & Can’t be evil. ^ This is the most powerful tool for regulators they’ve ever seen, and they’re just coming to understand this. DeFi Summer is back 🔥.
The American values of economic liberty, private property rights, and innovation are in the DNA of the DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, movement.

Lending tree survey: 41% of buy now pay later users have been late on payments. Defi sees businesses like this and thinks “I can fix her”.

Go back and listen to an @aantonop talk if you haven’t in a while. Without a doubt the best articulator of why permissionless finance matters. Freedom of Finance is our generation’s free speech movement.

The line between Staking (technical risk) and LP’ing (economic risk) is slowly being blurred. Think of the capital efficiency when they become one 🥹.
🗡️ The next phase of Slashing is coming: Redistribution. Slashed funds aren’t lost, they’re redirected. Now AVSs can repurpose them, unlocking new use cases in the verifiable economy. Details 👇🧵

DeFi vaults have evolved into a killer product. Current state of Vaults: .- Simple LP deposits.- little to no automation/management .- low yield. This Vault: .- Sophisticated strategies.- Actively managed by @SentoraHQ (trusted by top crypto instos).- 6%+ target.
Sentora DeFi Vault — now live on Lombard. Targeting 6% APY on LBTC and wBTC, paid in LBTC. Powered by @SentoraHQ’s (prev. IntoTheBlock) institutional-grade risk engine.
