More than $10 billion is now sitting in crypto lending vaults, according to a Financial Times report.
That's a significant increase from around $4 billion at the beginning of last year.
These vaults allow users to deposit crypto into strategies managed by third parties, with some advertising annual returns ranging from 3% to more than 20%.
But where do those returns actually come from?
Some strategies involve lending against crypto collateral, while others take on more complicated positions to generate additional yield.
The concern is that investors may not always understand how much risk is i

Most people know @metricxyz as a propAMM, but I think there's a much bigger story here.
Metric is trying to build a more flexible way to provide liquidity onchain, particularly for tokenized stocks and other RWAs.
And I think there are three reasons why its approach is worth paying attention to.
1. It's more than just another propAMM
First, let's understand the problem with traditional AMMs like Uniswap.
Imagine $NVDA stock is trading at $100, and there's an NVDA/USDC liquidity pool onchain.
Now $NVDA jumps to $105 on Nasdaq.
A traditional AMM doesn't automatically know the stock price has cha

ONEA: Long-termism does not mean making everyone wait eight years; it means making every step stand up to scrutiny. 🌍
Recently, the community raised several questions that deserve serious answers.
If ONEA’s long-term direction includes cross-border payments, what problems can it actually solve for users?
How much can transfer costs be reduced? Can funds reliably reach their destination? How can technical progress be verified? Why not start with one specific use case, run the entire process end to end, and then gradually expand its scope?
We should not avoid these questions.

$ADA I don't buy this number: just 11 million U traded in a day, half the usual volume gone, while the price languished, down 1% in a day and nearly 10% for the week.
With volume drying up and price still falling, it means nobody is catching it at the bottom—not that selling is fierce, but that buyers have vanished out of nowhere. Bears don't even need to slam it that hard; it just slides down on its own. This kind of low-volume, no-bids situation is even more awkward than a high-volume dump. At least with a dump, someone is scrambling to buy; low volume means everyone is acting like it doesn

BTC October 20 Midday Strategy
BTC traded sideways in a range all last night! My head was numb from all the shaking! In our livestream last night, we gave 80500–81200 as the range to open long positions, but the move only played out this morning!
It felt like BTC had been going at it all night—its legs could barely hold it up. It only let out a little this morning, then pulled up its pants and ran home. If you were patient, you could have captured around 800 points of movement overnight.
For today's daytime session, here's our view. First, the key levels: 81821 and 81270 are the right-side upw

When the “not listed” label appeared yesterday, it was a system error, not because the currency was unlisted 👌👌👌

#BTC Current price: 81790. On the daily timeframe, the market is generally range-bound after pulling back from its highs. The momentum behind the earlier surge has gradually faded, and repeated attempts to move higher have failed to establish a firm foothold above the resistance zone. Bullish momentum continues to erode, with the market’s center of gravity showing signs of slowly shifting lower. On the four-hour timeframe, the recent market action reflects intense tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Rebounds have lacked sufficient volume, and each modest rally has quickly run into selling pres

Scumbag Watch: SPCX Update 10.20
Big Rocket closed at 147.96 in U.S. trading, up 1.32%, with an intraday high of 151.01 and a low of 146.83
Big Rocket’s third-quarter report came out much earlier than expected, and so far it appears to be having a major impact on its stock price.
Support around 140 appears to be holding for now. Whether it will break below that level after the earnings report and head toward 130 remains to be seen.
Before the report, this scumbag will mostly stay on the sidelines.

The journey of growth is always lonely, so keep going!!!

Walking by the seaside, but everything looks like a candlestick chart.
Mountains trading sideways, buildings breaking out on heavy volume, and a last-gasp rally before the drop.

Musk just updated X’s recommendation algorithm: the new AI model now predicts how long you’re willing to spend on a post, rather than only looking at whether you click; the retrieval model will also prioritize content that you’re likely to read from start to finish.
As a result, users’ active seconds are breaking records every day.
From now on, clickbait titles won’t work on X—you’ll really need to write content with substance to keep people around.

Explosive! Trump lavishly praises Musk’s “nationwide airdrop” — $SPCX is this the century’s bottom or a trap set by the big players?
As the old saying goes: “The news is all smoke and mirrors; the flow of real money is the real tell.”
Trump posted in praise of Musk giving stocks to children. In plain English, this is probably a midterm election vote-grab, trying to fool retail investors into not chasing the rally. Looking at the 1-hour chart, SPCX has fallen from 176 to 148.5 and is barely hanging on, with liquidation zones at 151–155 above and 144–147 below. As for fund flows, some money is
