Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Jupiter has introduced a Smart Debt feature through Jupiter Lend, allowing borrowed assets to be deployed into DEX liquidity pools where they can earn trading fees.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Arthur Hayes has outlined a new “Yen-quake” macro thesis, arguing that efforts to support the Japanese yen could ultimately inject fresh dollar liquidity into global markets and become bullish for Bitcoin. In his August 10 essay, Hayes focuses on the Federal Reserve’s FIMA Repo Facility, a mechanism that allows foreign official institutions to access dollars against US Treasury collateral. His argument is that a larger or more active FIMA channel could help Japan manage yen pressure without selling Treasuries outright, while still creating conditions that support risk…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Solana climbed roughly 7% from its August 7 low to an August 10 intraday high, breaking above a descending trendline that had shaped price action since July. Market data shows SOL moved from about $72.49 to $77.36 during the rebound. That is a meaningful short-term move, especially after several weeks of weaker momentum. But it should not be treated as a confirmed long-term reversal. A breakout from a multi-week downtrend can improve sentiment, but Solana still trades inside a broader market driven by Bitcoin, liquidity, ETF flows,…

If that chain wins, the network faces a deep reorganization of roughly three days; users and exchanges were told to treat post-flaw transactions as at risk. The developer behind the Ravencoin cryptocurrency network said Tuesday the blockchain may erase several days of transactions after attackers exploited a flaw in the software that secures the network. As a result, the native token of the…
