Today, the trading volume of ETH has exceeded that of BTC at the same time during the last bull market altcoin season. Does this mean that the altcoin season is coming? Today, the MEME sector surged, and we can pay attention to ETH's DEFI and L2 in the future.
Bitcoin prices surged today due to factors such as the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates, signaling stagflation risks, expectations around US-China trade negotiations, and China's stimulus measures, leading to a rise in the crypto market. The Federal Reserve has paused its easing policy for the third consecutive time, concerned about high inflation and high unemployment risks.
Bitcoin breaks $97,000 as the market focuses on the Federal Reserve meeting.

StakeStone focuses on decentralized liquidity and yield optimization for ETH and BTC
What is StakeStone StakeStone is an all-chain liquidity infrastructure focused on providing decentralized protocols for liquidity and yield optimization for Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Unlocking the Multi-Chain Future: Hyperlane and Comparison with Similar Types
What is Hyperlane Hyperlane is a decentralized cross-chain interoperability protocol dedicated to connecting different blockchains, eliminating barriers between chains, and enabling rapid and secure transfer of assets, data, and applications. Through a 'bridge' mechanism, it allows seamless interaction between blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and Cosmos, building a multi-chain interconnected Web3 ecosystem. Hyperlane is hailed as the 'cross-chain magic tool' of blockchain, transforming the isolated blockchain world into an efficient, interconnected network. Hyperlane not only provides users with a convenient asset transfer experience but also offers developers flexible tools to support cross-chain application development, such as DeFi, NFTs, games, etc. Its open-source, modular design significantly reduces the complexity and cost of cross-chain operations, making it a key infrastructure for the multi-chain ecosystem.
DeFi is a decentralized finance system that doesn't require a bank, doesn't need an account, and allows you to borrow money, store coins, and exchange coins just with your wallet address. But here comes the problem: all operations are public and transparent, which is like running naked! If others know your wallet address, they can check if you have money, what coins you've bought, and if you've lost money. When you borrow money, everything you have mortgaged is recorded on the chain. When you place an order to trade, others can act before you and mess you up. If this continues, who would dare to play DeFi with peace of mind? At this point, FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) comes into play, like putting an 'invisible cloak' on DeFi. You can trade, borrow money, and manage investments, but others can't see what you're doing! Isn't that amazing?
The combination of FHE and DeFi: the ultimate technology to protect your "wallet"
When it comes to DeFi, your first reaction may be "freedom", "no middleman", "transactions at any time" - it is indeed very cool. But there are also many problems, such as: once your wallet address is public, others can check what you have done; transaction records are completely transparent, hackers can also analyze what you are doing; if you engage in lending, mortgage, and asset management, your information will be exposed if you are not careful. At this time, FHE (fully homomorphic encryption) is like putting on a set of invisible armor for DeFi, which not only protects you, but also allows the platform to complete various operations without "seeing" your data. Does it sound sci-fi? Don't worry, we will explain it slowly.
Today BTC surged, US stock market S&P 500 rose before the market opens, gold reached a new high, ETF spot inflow of 100 million. Looking at the monthly chart, it really resembles the last bull market's monthly impact before the second peak. There is a high probability that with upcoming interest rate cuts, it will return to around 100,000.
The cryptocurrency market is still primarily speculative, with 99% of trading driven by emotions, lacking fundamental value support, token valuation premiums disappearing, and revenue being scarce.

Today I will share with you a great way to participate in TGE by borrowing BNB through Lista Lending. The biggest highlight is the ultra-low interest rate, currently only 0.75%! Without further ado, let’s get straight to the tutorial: 1. Preparation for Loan Register and log in to the Lista platform: Visit the Lista official website, complete registration, login, KYC certification, and bind your wallet. Choose collateral: Lista Lending supports a variety of collateral such as BTC. Choose the appropriate type based on your assets. Check the market interest rate: The borrowing interest rate fluctuates with market supply and demand. Currently, the PT-clis BNB mortgage borrowing interest rate is as low as 0.72%, which is very cost-effective.
The technical architecture of the Lista Lending vault system
The vault system is a core component of Lista Lending, designed as a single asset funding pool (such as USDT, lisUSD, or BUSD), managed by professional curators to ensure efficient fund allocation: Single asset vault Each vault is designed for a single asset, avoiding the asset mixing issues of traditional funding pools. After users deposit a single asset, the vault dynamically allocates funds to multiple markets (such as BNB/USDT, ETH/lisUSD) through a peer-to-peer (P2P) lending model. This modular design enhances the transparency and efficiency of fund management.
#ListaLending革新BNBChain借贷 1. Risk Identification and Prevention Framework DeFi risks primarily include market risk (asset price volatility), technological risk (contract vulnerabilities), and operational risk (price manipulation). Lista Lending has designed comprehensive prevention measures for these risks: Treasury Isolation: Each treasury (such as USDT, lisUSD) operates independently, and market losses of a single treasury do not affect others. For instance, if the BNB/USDT market suffers due to a sharp drop in BNB prices, the funds of suppliers in the lisUSD treasury remain secure. This isolation minimizes risk, outperforming the concentrated risks of traditional liquidity pools.

Economic recession is a bitter pill that is hard to swallow, but it may be just what the American economy needs right now. It indicates that while recession is painful, it might provide an opportunity to address inflation, bubbles, or structural issues.
Doubts about Trump's economic policies suggest that his optimistic statements cannot mask potential crises. The 'therapeutic' effect of a recession depends on its depth and the government's response, but in the short term, it may impact the public, businesses, and the investment sector.

What is Babylon Babylon is an innovative decentralized protocol that created the first Bitcoin security network (BSN) through BabylonGenesis. It leverages Bitcoin's native computing power to provide dual support for security and liquidity for PoS blockchains. Unlike cross-chain bridges or wrapped asset solutions, Babylon allows BTC holders to directly stake assets and participate in a multi-chain ecosystem, maintaining decentralization and self-custody advantages. In short, it is a 'unlocker' of Bitcoin's potential, transforming BTC from a mere store of value into an active participant in the Web3 ecosystem.
