$PENDLE emissions just hit a new all-time low, down 77% since the start of the year 🔥 Meanwhile, buybacks have outpaced emissions by nearly 3x for over 4 months straight, with 100% of it flowing back to sPENDLE stakers.

Insightful chart on VC funding trends: Just two years ago, infra took 50.9% of investment capital. By H1 2026, it dropped to 14.8%, as payments and stablecoins, CEXs, and prediction markets took the lead. DeFi still stays relevant, but $MORPHO alone accounts for 17.7% of all DeFi investment in H1 2026.

1/ We’re excited to announce the close of @ethereuminsti's initial ecosystem funding round and supporter coalition, with broad participation and support from individuals and entities focused on driving institutional adoption of @ethereum. Our ecosystem funding round is anchored by @BitMNR, @Sharplink, Ethereum co‑founders @ethereumJoseph , and @MihaiAlisie, alongside a larger group of individuals and crypto‑native institutions.

After a comprehensive review, Aave is deprecating 50 low adoption asset reserves across multiple deployments. In addition, Aave is orderly winding down deployments on Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos, covering another 25 asset reserves. As part of this process, 21 matured Pendle PTs are also being deprecated in favour of new maturities. In total, the changes affect $98.1M in supply and $15.6M in debt. These measures reduce Aave's economic and technical risk surface as part of the new Aave Risk Framework and Technical Asset Listing Framework. Aave will continue applying continuous risk assessment for all assets across all deployments.

The largest growth opportunity for DeFi is bringing Payments, invoice factoring and off-chain loan origination yield on-chain for everyone to access. With the ability to package duration and credit risk, we can build fixed income products on-chain 👀 Stay tuned. DMs open

There's a NEW META in crypto land. Thanks to it, I'm getting 40% Fixed APR PASSIVELY on 22.7k capital. It's called Fixed Return Funding Rate Arbitrage. Funding rate arb, ON STEROIDS. Full playbook + the open-source tool I built to run it 👇 #boros# @boros_fi

Another interesting fact - sPENDLE buybacks are currently outpacing emission by ~5x now 🔥 $PENDLE bought back from open circulation 100% flow to stakers. And most of what leaves the market continues to stay put, where ~92% of wallets have never unstaked a single token before.

DualPool | Uniswap as the Execution Layer for Lending Capital DualPool allows market makers to earn lending yield on their inventory while keeping the same capital available for liquidity provision when a swap arrives Instead of leaving assets inside an AMM 24/7, capital is deposited into ERC-4626 vaults, where it continues generating yield. When a trade is submitted, the DualPool Hook automatically: Withdraws the required capital → builds concentrated liquidity → executes the swap → collects fees → unwinds the position → returns the remaining assets to the vault ---------- The entire process happens atomically within a single transaction, without relying on an external keeper As a result, the same inventory can generate two revenue: Lending yield while idle + swap fees when activated Architecture: • ERC-4626 Vault: Yield backend • DualPool Hook: JIT liquidity coordination layer • Uniswap v4: Execution and settlement layer ---------- Liquidity does not need to remain inside an AMM 24/7. Capital can earn yield in lending markets and move into Uniswap only when execution is required ➥ DualPool shows how @Uniswap can evolve from a venue that permanently stores liquidity into an execution layer for capital managed across the broader DeFi ecosystem.

As @aave V4 continues to grow - so do opportunities for yield farming. There's currently double-digit APYs available for: -> PT-USDG-24SEP2026 @global_dollar loops -> sUSDe @ethena loops -> weETH @EtherFi loops The numbers below are at 12x leverage. You can find (and access) all of these through the DFS Discover page. 👉

DeFi was built by devs writing and publishing open source code. The Clarity Act recognizes that protecting them is how you keep this industry in the US. We've been making this case in DC for the past year, and we believe passing it is the best path forward for our industry. DeFi will win.

Pendle has fully upgraded @BungeeExchange V3 🌉 Faster routing. Lower fees. Fewer clicks. Swap any token on any chain into any PT/YT in a single click. Gas is handled for you - even when your wallet holds $0 on the chain.

Monad just crossed $550M in TVL. More interestingly, Aave already manages $203M in deposits and $83M in active loans, capturing 31% of Monad’s lending market. The Aave effect: liquidity arrives, then quickly becomes productive.
