Where Do DeFi’s High Yields Come From? Understand the Source of Returns Before Assessing Risk
In the Web3 world, DeFi is often associated with high yields.
Lending, liquidity mining, staking, and yield strategies offer users different ways to participate. But when a protocol offers a high annualized yield, what you really need to focus on is not just how large the number is, but where those returns come from and who bears the associated risks.
Understanding the source of returns is an important step in deciding whether a DeFi project is worth researching further.

“When a liquidity stampede hits, forget fundamentals—only watch who gets out fastest!”
The rebound in crude oil to 103.6 is all an illusion. Mid-term capital is pulling out, and even the attack on Saudi Arabia can’t move the market. Strategy: short a rebound near 104 if it meets resistance; follow through short if it breaks below 97.8!
Gold’s rebound is also an opportunity for funds to exit—a pure liquidity stampede.
For shorts, keep your eyes fixed on the 3979

BREAKING: 🇮🇳 CoinDCX confirms a $16M crypto theft, days after its CEO called breach reports a “false alarm.”
The exchange says a failed automated system left funds exposed in old wallets compromised after its $44M hack in 2025.
Combined losses: nearly $60M.
CoinDCX says it will absorb the latest loss and user funds remain safe.
But the bigger question is: why were these wallets still receiving deposits?

Tell yourself the world is beautiful, the results are mine. Let's go!

A lot of people keep asking what Buffett is buying and selling right now, so I put together a chart of his latest second-quarter moves. No obscure jargon—just my take.
Here’s the gist:
Apple remains a cornerstone of the portfolio, with no changes this quarter. He made a big addition to Google. On the other hand, he kept selling bank stocks and some cyclical stocks, and completely exited Constellation Brands. He also added again to distressed names like Delta Air Lines.
The most eye-catching thing: he’s still sitting on $365.5 billion in cash.
The market is incredibly lively right now. A lot of

How to Manage Your Crypto Assets More Safely: From Wallet Setup to Everyday Security Habits
In the Web3 world, owning crypto assets and managing them securely are two completely different things.
You may have chosen a reliable wallet or be using a well-known trading platform, but that does not mean your assets are absolutely safe. Mistaken approvals, exposed recovery phrases, spoofed websites, infected devices, and operating habits that lack risk controls can all put digital assets at risk.
Effective asset security is not about relying on any one tool, but about building a security system you

#StriveCEOHintsAtMoreBitcoinBuying
Strive’s Bitcoin accumulation is accelerating, and the next milestone could be 40,000 BTC.
Corporate Bitcoin accumulation is becoming an important part of the market’s long-term demand story, and Strive is demonstrating how quickly a public company can expand its treasury through a combination of purchases and capital-market activity. CEO Matt Cole has signaled continued commitment to the strategy, putting the company’s next move in focus. The important distinction is that its existing holdings are confirmed, while any additional purchase must still be verif

Major Upcoming Crypto Events This Autumn 📊
While the markets are crashing, we are seeing bitcoin:native below $80k today. Things in the background are moving, with multiple chains shutting down, @Zcash mainnet upgrades coming, and @LayerZero_Core launching its new product suites.
Staying Bullish for the long-term is the way to win the game.

The bull-bear tug-of-war in this market is at full force: bulls don’t dare push prices up recklessly, and bears don’t dare go all out on the downside. Looking back at this pullback from 84876 to 79168, the decline looks alarming, but it’s really just a round of position turnover. Bulls and bears are still evenly matched, and no dominant direction has emerged yet.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the possibility of a weekly trend reversal, and I’m increasingly convinced that trend changes never happen all at once: an uptrend doesn’t end completely after a single pullback, and a reversal isn’t c

Bitcoin Core Accelerates Bug Fixes as AI Reshapes Disclosure Rules
Bitcoin Core has updated its vulnerability disclosure policy to allow faster fixes and releases for security flaws that are easy to rediscover, including those that can be found using artificial intelligence. Longer embargoes remain in place for other types of security issues.
The change reflects a practical shift in how Bitcoin software maintainers handle bugs that an attacker can uncover with minimal effort. The core question is whether waiting to publicly explain a vulnerability still protects users when modern tools, includ
