DeFi stablecoin lending now pays about the same as the Fed’s interest rate, except you’re taking smart contract risk to get it.
DefiLlama’s rate across the biggest lending markets is 3.76% for lenders right now, while the Fed’s rate sits at 3.75 to 4%.
It wasn’t always like this. In early and late 2024 lenders were earning over 12%, and both times it was during a bull run, traders were borrowing stablecoins to buy more crypto and paying up for it.
So when lending rates are low like this, it usually means traders aren’t borrowing to buy, they’re sitting on their hands.
And if you’re lending sta

The bear market ended in June? That sounds familiar. Every time prices fall, someone comes out to declare “the bottom is in.” The only difference this time is that the speaker is from Galaxy, and the headline is “Why Now Is the Time to Accumulate and Hold BTC.” Translation: Don’t sell at a loss; call it accumulation. You’re not underwater—you’re a long-term investor.
Thorn’s argument isn’t without merit: the low near 58,000 in June, and prices are now up about 38%; after languishing below the 50-week moving average for 44 consecutive weeks, BTC finally climbed back above it and closed above it

If you’re stuck in a losing position, don’t stubbornly hold on or keep thinking, “Just wait a little longer and it’ll bounce back.” The longer you wait, the more you lose; the more you lose, the more panicked you get. Then you start adding to your position recklessly, and a small loss turns into a big one.
Getting out of a losing position isn’t about stubbornly waiting for a reversal—it’s about taking action to save yourself: if the market is ranging, work your way back slowly; if the trend has reversed, cut your losses decisively. There’s no shame in admitting defeat and exiting. Protecting y

The Four Great Beasts of Physics:
1. Zeno’s Tortoise
The ancient Greek mathematician Zeno
put forward the famous “Zeno’s paradox”
to address the indivisibility of motion.
The tortoise starts 1,000 meters
ahead of Achilles,
and Achilles is assumed to be
10 times faster than the tortoise. After
the race begins, when Achilles has run

the time taken is t/10,
and the tortoise is still 10 meters ahead.
When Achilles has run the next 10 meters,

Arm’s 6% Rally: The AI Trade Is Back, but the Fundamentals Must Deliver
A powerful rally can change market sentiment in a single session, but it takes earnings, demand and sustainable growth to change a company’s long-term value. On October 26, Arm Holdings ($ARM) climbed 6.19% to close at $223.35, while Nvidia ($NVDA) gained approximately 2.4% and the broader semiconductor sector advanced. The move signaled renewed buying interest in AI-related stocks after a period of volatility. The bigger question is whether investors are positioning for another phase of AI gro

Bitcoin Falls Below $80,000—Was the Real Culprit Not the Crypto Market?
【Plain-Language Summary】This article analyzes the macroeconomic forces behind Bitcoin’s drop below $80,000, pointing to uncertainty over the Fed’s policy outlook and institutional risk aversion triggered by tightening AI credit as the main drivers, rather than crypto-specific risks alone.
