DeFi

DeFi eliminates intermediaries by using smart contracts on blockchains to provide financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading. In 2026, the "DeFi 3.0" era is defined by Institutional DeFi and the integration of Real-World Assets (RWA). From liquidity provisioning on Uniswap to advanced lending on Aave, this tag tracks the evolution of autonomous financial systems, yield optimization, and the rise of AI-driven portfolio management in the decentralized economy.

Crypto Leaders See GENIUS Act as Turning Point for Regulation

Crypto Leaders See GENIUS Act as Turning Point for Regulation

Key Takeaways: U.S. House has passed the GENIUS Act, establishing federal stablecoin regulations. Executives from Ondo, Bitpanda, and Gluwa cite rising institutional confidence. Regulatory clarity may shape how infrastructure and securities laws intersect globally. Executives from Ondo Finance, Bitpanda, and Gluwa say the passage of key crypto regulations, including the GENIUS Act in the U.S. House, represents a shift in the policy environment for digital assets. According to statements shared with Cryptonews.com on July 16, Ian De Bode, Chief Strategy Officer at Ondo Finance, said the bill represents “the beginning of a new regulatory era,” citing bipartisan cooperation and increased institutional readiness. GENIUS Act Interpreted by Executives “The clearer the rules, the faster adoption will follow,” he said, adding that legal clarity has long been the key obstacle to full institutional participation. De Bode noted that Patrick McHenry, Vice Chair of Ondo and former Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, has played a role in advancing policy. “His presence alongside President Trump at today’s GENIUS Act signing underscores the significance of this moment – not just for policy, but for the broader digital asset industry,” De Bode said. Crypto Week has delivered. The GENIUS Act is now law, providing long-overdue clarity for stablecoin issuers, protections for consumers, and defined guidelines for regulators. With the CLARITY Act also advancing through the Senate, the US took a major step toward defining… pic.twitter.com/ckNjO2FF2t — Ondo Finance (@OndoFinance) July 18, 2025 Bitpanda Deputy CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad said that regulatory movement in Washington is shaping investor sentiment. “This breakthrough is fuelling broad market optimism in BTC, as we’ve seen from the recent all-time high, and now for altcoins,” he said. He emphasized the renewed interest in altcoins like XRP and DOGE and said, “broad rallies need confidence.” Tae Oh, CEO of Gluwa, focused on the stablecoin provision in the GENIUS Act. “By establishing the first federal framework for USD-pegged stablecoins, this development signals a strong commitment to responsible innovation, consumer protection, and long-term industry growth,” he said. He added that the bill supports future adoption in “payments, DeFi, and financial infrastructure.” Oh also pointed to the Crypto Market Structure Bill and the upcoming Fed meeting. “Even the slightest hints of a pivot in policy could significantly impact risk assets,” he said. Evolving Regulatory Environment in Crypto Space Some industry analysts view the GENIUS Act’s passage as part of a larger trend toward regulatory convergence across major economies. The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and similar efforts in Asia suggest that lawmakers globally are seeking to align digital asset oversight with existing financial systems, reducing regulatory arbitrage and improving cross-border compatibility. At the same time, the regulation exposes a divide between countries that treat crypto primarily through securities law enforcement and those that treat it through financial infrastructure reform. The ability of jurisdictions to define clear supervisory roles across banking, securities, and commodities may determine how effectively they integrate blockchain-based systems into their economies. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How might U.S. regulation impact crypto jurisdictions in Asia? Asia-based regulatory authorities may adjust licensing structures and enforcement thresholds based on how U.S. policy evolves, particularly if they seek access to U.S. liquidity or wish to comply with international financial standards. What are the risks of regulatory fragmentation despite growing alignment? Conflicting definitions of digital assets and inconsistent supervision of stablecoins or DeFi protocols may lead to market segmentation, making it harder for cross-border services to operate under unified legal assumptions. How are traditional financial institutions responding to the GENIUS Act? Many banks and asset managers are reportedly monitoring developments for potential entry points, especially in areas such as tokenized treasuries and compliant stablecoin issuance, which may now fall under clearer federal rules.

dYdX Snaps Up Telegram Trading App That Hit $1B Volume in Under a Year

dYdX Snaps Up Telegram Trading App That Hit $1B Volume in Under a Year

Key Takeaways: dYdX has acquired Telegram-native app Pocket Protector. Co-founders Eddie Zhang and Kaiser Kinbote will join dYdX as President and Head of Growth. Messaging-integrated trading is emerging as a frictionless gateway to DeFi, especially in markets with limited access to desktop platforms. dYdX has acquired Pocket Protector, a Telegram-native trading app, to expand its product suite and accelerate growth. According to a statement published by dYdX founder Antonio Juliano on July 16, Pocket Protector’s team will join dYdX Trading Inc. as part of the deal, including co-founders Eddie Zhang and Kaiser Kinbote, who will take on the roles of President and Head of Growth, respectively. Pocket Protector’s Developers to Join dYdX The acquisition follows the rapid growth of Pocket Protector’s app, which drew 50,000 users and reached $1 billion in annualized trading volume in under a year. “Eddie will help lead our core team’s day-to-day execution and drive our broader product and go-to-market strategy,” Juliano wrote. “Kaiser will focus on growth, bringing clarity to what matters, and pushing us to operate faster and smarter.” Pocket Protector’s core features, including Telegram-based perps and spot trading, will be incorporated into dYdX’s main platform. Juliano said the team is already working to adapt parts of the bot’s functionality. A four-person engineering team at Pocket Protector will also be integrated into dYdX’s product and engineering divisions. Juliano credited Zhang’s experience leading early Messenger development at Meta and launching consumer-facing products with shaping his decision. “He has strong product instincts, a track record of execution, and a rare ability to zoom between strategy and details,” he wrote. 1/ Some news today: we’re excited to share that we’ve been acquired by @dYdX ! The Pocket Protector you know and love isn’t going anywhere, and we’re excited to be building better and faster for you. — Pocket Protector (@pp_trading) July 18, 2025 From Infrastructure to Users dYdX has now positioned itself to scale beyond early infrastructure-building into user-facing expansion. “We’re no longer just proving the idea, we’re scaling it,” Juliano said. He added that dYdX is hiring across research and engineering roles to support the product roadmap. “Since then, we’ve spent years focused on 0→1,” he wrote. “Now is the moment to go from 1→n: delivering exceptional user experience, expanding the product surface area, and building the best exchange in crypto.” Telegram-native interfaces are gaining traction across Solana and Ethereum ecosystems, where lightweight apps allow onboarding without browser-based friction. In the meantime, exchanges may increasingly compete not just on liquidity and fees but on interface flexibility, user flow, and community retention. Integrating social tools into core trading infrastructure could become a differentiator in retail market share, especially in regions where messaging apps serve as primary financial access points. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Are there regulatory implications for exchanges operating through social platforms? Yes, integrating with global messaging platforms could raise jurisdictional challenges around financial communication, user verification, and cross-border compliance. What makes social trading tools competitive in user retention? Features like in-app alerts, shared strategies, and group trading discussions create embedded communities, increasing user engagement and reducing churn. Could this trend extend beyond Telegram? Yes. Similar models may expand into WhatsApp or other high-usage chat platforms, provided technical integration and local compliance frameworks align.
