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.

El Salvador Buys $50M Gold, Balances Bitcoin With Caution

El Salvador Buys $50M Gold, Balances Bitcoin With Caution

The post El Salvador Buys $50M Gold, Balances Bitcoin With Caution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. El Salvador boosts reserves with $50M gold buy, first major purchase since 1990. Nation blends Bitcoin and gold in dual strategy balancing risk and growth potential. Central banks’ gold trend aligns with El Salvador’s push for reserve diversification. El Salvador has amassed headlines with another purchase, but not with Bitcoin. The country has taken a significant step by adding $50 million worth of gold to its reserves, its first acquisition since 1990. This move signals a new phase in its strategy to diversify assets, reduce risks, and reinforce economic stability. By blending gold with its Bitcoin holdings, El Salvador has strengthened its stance, reflecting both caution and ambition amid shifting global financial conditions. El Salvador adquirió 14,000 onzas de oro, a $50 millones, con el fin de recuperar lo vendido por el gobierno del FMLN en 2015. Por dicha transacción, el país recibió $200 millones, pero en la actualidad, tiene un precio de $600 millones. pic.twitter.com/2XG5xyA0ng — Noticiero El Salvador 🇸🇻 (@NoticieroSLV) September 4, 2025 Gold Returns to El Salvador’s Reserve Strategy The Central Reserve Bank (BCR) revealed that it purchased 13,999 troy ounces of gold, boosting the nation’s total stash to 58,105 ounces. At current market prices, this represents roughly $207 million in value.  The decision comes at a time when gold prices have surged to record highs above $3,500 per ounce. Analysts expect continued volatility as markets await potential interest rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve later this month. For global context, central banks worldwide have been increasing gold holdings, purchasing more than a thousand tons annually in recent years. Gold currently accounts for about 20% of global reserves, second only to the dominance of the US dollar. El Salvador’s return to gold accumulation places it in line with this global trend, signaling its desire to establish…

Coldplay’s Biggest Songs Soar As The Band’s Tour Wraps

The post Coldplay’s Biggest Songs Soar As The Band’s Tour Wraps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Sergione Infuso/Corbis via Getty Images for ABA) Corbis via Getty Images Coldplay hasn’t released a new single in almost a year. The band dropped “All My Love,” the final cut from Moon Music, in October 2024. Now they’re back in the United Kingdom, wrapping the Music of the Spheres World Tour — the second-highest-grossing concert trek of all time — with a historic Wembley Stadium run as the group returns to its home country. With the spotlight back on Coldplay, sales and streams of the band’s albums and best-known tunes jump in the U.K., and the Grammy-winning act manages an impressive feat on the most important songs tally in the nation this frame. Three Top 40 Hits for Coldplay Coldplay claims three top 40 hits on the Official Singles chart, the main ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. blending sales and streams. The Official Charts Company caps each lead act at three concurrent entries, and the quartet fills its allotment easily. “Yellow” and “Viva La Vida” “Yellow,” the group’s signature tune – one of them, at least – sits at No. 19 on the Official Singles chart this week. “Viva La Vida” is just behind at No. 20. Both climb dramatically week-over-week, as “Yellow” rockets from No. 83, while “Viva La Vida” lifts from No. 80. “Sparks” Reaches a New Peak “Sparks,” an album cut from Coldplay’s debut full-length Parachutes, jumps to No. 22. It only improves by six spaces, but the…

Solana RWA rides the wave of tokenized Pokémon cards

Solana RWA rides the wave of tokenized Pokémon cards

The post Solana RWA rides the wave of tokenized Pokémon cards appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana once again showed that crypto and collectibles can go hand in hand after RWA tokenization had another lively sector – Pokémon cards, which even surpassed the volumes of tokenized stocks.  The Solana network launched a niche market for Pokémon cards in the spring of 2025. Since then, the market has grown exponentially, with record weeks in August.  Those markets are still a novelty on Solana, which retains much more active DeFi use cases. However, RWA tokenization has been tested on multiple chains, based on a mix of community demand and regulations.  When it comes to Pokémon cards, collectibles, and recently, a mix of physical and digital items, there are no specific regulations, allowing an organic growth of traders. The market still has a few hundred users, mostly linked to fandom communities. However, there is a trend for returning users and robust weekly trading volumes.  Solana RWA collectibles surpass XStocks XStocks were one of the much-touted RWAs on Solana, off to a strong start. However, XStocks trading peaked in June. XStocks is still trying to expand its representation on various platforms, recently teaming up with the Moonshot marketplace. However, the momentum on Solana is currently siding with the actively growing collectible trading.  Solana tokenized shares by XStocks were off to a strong start, but transfers and volumes slowed down in August, while exotic RWA picked up, based on the activity of Collectors Crypt. | Source: Dune Analytics Package-opening and secondary marketplace volumes for Pokémon and other collections have already broken above $10M in weekly volumes, based on Dune Analytics reports.  XStocks are distributed among multiple exchanges, with some of the markets achieving $2M to $3M in weekly volumes.  Overall, XStocks showed a slowing trend in transfer volumes and relatively small activity on DEXs. In August, XStocks reported around $74.6M in…

President Vladimir Putin rejects top bankers warning that Russia’s economy is stagnating

President Vladimir Putin rejects top bankers warning that Russia’s economy is stagnating

The post President Vladimir Putin rejects top bankers warning that Russia’s economy is stagnating appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Vladimir Putin has dismissed sentiments from Russia’s most prominent banker that the country’s economy is slipping into stagnation. He defended the central bank’s high interest rate policy, claiming it would control inflation amid rising costs. Herman Gref, chief executive of state-owned Sberbank PJSC, warned on Thursday that Russia’s economy had entered a “technical recession” in the second quarter. He told the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok that data from July and August showed “quite clear symptoms that we are approaching zero growth.” When asked at the forum on Friday if he shared the banker’s assessment, Putin’s response was “No.” The Russian head of state admitted that some officials within the government raised similar points to Gref, but insisted that the central bank’s restrictive stance was necessary to avoid a surge in inflation.  “We need to ensure a soft calm landing of the economy,” Putin told the local press earlier today. Interest rates clock highs, but inflation is steady Gref, who leads Russia’s largest lender, asked policymakers to slash borrowing costs, arguing that high interest rates were suffocating businesses and households.  “Given the current level of inflation, recovery can only be expected when the rate is at 12% or lower,” he asserted. Sberbank’s internal forecasts predicted the benchmark rate would average around 14% by the end of the year, which, according to the banker, is still too high for businesses to grow. Last September, the Russian central bank raised its key rate to 21%, the highest in two decades, as inflation accelerated on the back of war spending and supply shortages. Per Trading Economics data, Russia’s annual inflation eased to 8.8% from 9.4% in June, the lowest level since October 2024. While policymakers have since reduced borrowing rates to 18%, they are more reluctant to make steeper cuts. Officials say…
