"I don't think these trends will slow down anytime soon unless there is a particular event that happens..." And boy, it did happen
Yield farming changed a lot this year. We went from trying to find alpha in exotic chains, new underfarmed protocols, illiquidity premiums, and outperforming loops to gated private deals and incestuous cronyism. Recent examples, such as Stable's pre-deposit vault and rising

Terrible look for the space. Makes us (DeFi people) look like kids with guns who cannot be trusted with money. $93M hole in AUM (more than 57% of total) doesn't appear for no reason. Every case like this sets back the adoption by 6-12 months. Won't be surprised if
Yesterday, an external fund manager overseeing Stream funds disclosed the loss of approximately $93 million in Stream fund assets. In response, Stream is in the process of engaging Keith Miller and Joseph Cutler of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP, to lead a comprehensive

the chads @Cbb0fe and @Schlagonia single-handedly regulating and pushing mindshare + mainstream adoption of vaults and risk curator markets. love to see that
Well boys, think I figured out (part of) the scam, and it is a doozy. Strap in. TLDR: Stream (xUSD) and Elixir (deUSD), and likely more, are recursively minting each other tokens in order to inflate there own TVL and create a ponzu the likes of which we haven't seen for awhile

And that’s exactly why this space needs a transparent, neutral rail for deposit campaigns. When a vault is "live" after it’s already practically full, the only thing the public gets is the tweet. > All these pre-deposit campaigns (Plasma, Stable, etc.) follow the same playbook,
stable just fully filled its $700M predeposit program without announcing btw insiders eating

Wow. Haven't been following action on Steam marketplace for a while but feels like @valvesoftware is pulling the rug out from under CS2 collectors. To explain it simply in web3 terms: Imagine if one day you woke up, and a new blockchain upgrade released that allowed you to
The once-profitable CS2 skins market has collapsed by a billion dollars! The culprit is a new update in the game - now you can craft knives that previously only dropped from cases with a random chance. Their prices have plummeted, while the skins needed for crafting knives have

Not “right vs wrong,” more how it’s designed. Vertical integration (issuer + MM + curator) can work - if guardrails exist. When ~35% of a curated USDC vault is allocated to mHYPER / PT-mHYPER markets (and issuer wallets also fund supply), depositors are effectively underwriting
So @hyperithm is now allocating 35% ($70m) of their Morpho vault liquidity to lending markets of their own stablecoin mHYPER. While providing 35m USDC coming from mHYPER to this Morpho vault. What could go wrong? 😹

There is an asymmetric upside about having no leveraged exposure during the times like this. Every second you spend worrying about the markets, you are taking away from something or someone actually important in your life. Optimize for sleep-adjusted returns.

State of the trenches: - CZ is out here playing BNB monopoly, Aster’s his get-out-of-jail card. Whales are eating, KOLs are simping, and you’re holding the bag. - BNB Meme Supercycle - GIGGLE is a 100M meme, 4’s next rug. BNB’s printing while degens FOMO into oblivion. I’m

I’m sorry but this is getting insane. I’m reading through comments under tweets from Rabby, Linea, etc. The amount of hate the projects are getting for NOT announcing an airdrop is insane. It seems like everyone turned into debt collectors?? The points meta clearly got out of

If you are thinking about ditching health insurance all together but are worried about going completely naked in the case something big comes up, you should give CrowdHealth a look. Here is what our CrowdHealth members have paid on average/month over the last 12 months: $143

Ethereum tx is back near ATHs. Last time this happened (2021): - 300 gwei - UX was pain This time? ↳ 5 gwei ↳ Chain feels less congested Why? ↳ Rollups shipped ↳ EIPs landed ↳ Infra matured

Chains without real fee flow die on their own. Hashgraph, Polygon, Polkadot: on hospice Berachain: -70% TVL in weeks Sonic: bleeding, no fee Abstract: more promising, still tiny TVL ≠ product “institutional yield” ≠ usage and no one knows what any of it does.

What’s scarier than CPMs rising this Q4? 😱 Running the same creative over and over. For one of our bra brand partners, we did the opposite — casting the first male creator in their account history. Not to shock, but to learn.

Coinbase has been around since $5 BTC. Runs the biggest exchange in the US. Still holds less BTC than miner CleanSpark.
