$SNX DeFi Veteran Synthetix Suddenly Drops a Nuclear-Level Announcement - All Old SNX Staking Positions Have Been Liquidated! According to SCCP-403 proposal, this on-chain cleansing targeting 'historical debt' has sent all staked assets with a collateral ratio below 160% straight to the crematorium.
'Staking is Mining' Era Comes to an End!
1. Perps v4 Perpetual Contracts: Supports wstETH, cbETH, and other collateral types, claiming to snatch dYdX's meal ticket;
2. Automated Vaults: Allows users to stake sUSD to automatically follow institutional strategies, but must bear the 'gun pool anti-rollback risk';
3. Compliance Breakthrough: Rumored to be negotiating with the US SEC, trying to package the 420 pool as a 'regulated synthetic asset platform'. #snx
$UNI Uniswap's historical cumulative trading volume on the Base chain has exceeded $150 billion! To put this into perspective, just a year ago this figure was only $26 billion, which means a staggering increase of 477% in just one year, completely overshadowing established L2s like Arbitrum and Optimism.
What's even more impressive is that the Base chain now contributes 60% of Uniswap's total trading volume, while the Ethereum mainnet only accounts for 26%. This 'underdog's comeback' scenario perfectly illustrates what it means to be a 'dark horse in the blockchain space, surpassing the parent chain'! #uni
$STRK Starknet, the veteran Layer 2 of Ethereum, has released explosive data:
• The total number of account contracts has exceeded 5 million, with user growth comparable to the bull market for MEME;
• The bridged locked amount has soared to 3.81 million ETH (approximately 4.4 billion USD), and the number of on-chain addresses is approaching 3 million! It should be noted that this data has surpassed most Layer 2 competitors— for example, Arbitrum has a bridged locked amount of 4.1 million ETH, but the number of user addresses is just a fraction of that; Optimism has a bridged amount of 730,000 ETH, and is directly left behind by five streets.
What's even more outrageous is that Starknet's “compliance persona” has become the growth secret—registering a Malta foundation, inviting traditional institutions to endorse it, while simultaneously implementing on-chain native account abstraction (non-custodial key management) and using a Visa co-branded card to facilitate fiat deposits and withdrawals. This operation of “wanting both Web3 traffic and TradFi licenses” has directly twisted the L2 track into a twist! #strk
$JUP The Solana ecosystem leader Jupiter DAO suddenly threw out a deep-water bomb - the proposal "Future Two Years: DAO Resolution", which boils down to one sentence: "Team, don't support me anymore, I want to run on my own!" This proposal, which claims to "completely cut off dependence on the parent company", directly upgrades the narrative of autonomy in the crypto world from "elementary school spring outing" to "survival in the wild", with key measures that are sharp and decisive. Control of the treasury is transferred from the team’s 3/5 signature to DAO members, meaning that in the future, using 4.4 billion funds requires community approval; The proposal process is standardized, eliminating "knee-jerk decision-making"; on-chain voting must include code + budget sheet; Registering as a legal entity, from now on the DAO can sign contracts, can be sued, and can also sue (important to note); The team injects another 10 million USDC as startup funds, but two years later will rely entirely on protocol revenue for 50% (about 32 million JUP) to be self-sufficient.
This move directly caused JUP to surge by 8%, with Solana ecosystem tokens collectively standing up and applauding, after all, the last one bold enough to do this was MakerDAO, but it took them five years to dare to let go! #jup
$ETHFI Ether.fi transforms into a 'crypto version of Alipay', is the staking king going to take down traditional banks? A new contender emerges in the staking arena.
Just yesterday (April 24), Ethereum's staking leader Ether.fi dropped a deep-water bomb — announcing its transformation into a new type of crypto bank (Neobank) and officially launching a Visa co-branded cash card and one-stop staking service for U.S. users. This move directly connects 'on-chain Wall Street' with 'offline consumption', and with $4.4 billion TVL (Total Value Locked) backing, crypto giants are finally ready to seize a piece of the traditional finance pie!
One card, two worlds: Buy coffee with staked ETH! The cash card launched by Ether.fi can be described as a hybrid of 'DeFi version of Huabei + Yu'e Bao':
• Staking equals credit: Users generate liquid staking tokens eETH after depositing ETH, which can be used directly as collateral to exchange for USDC for consumption, allowing them to swipe the card without selling their tokens, and the on-chain earnings can automatically pay off the bills;
• Interest rates crush credit cards: APR is directly linked to the DeFi market (approximately 5-8%), much more appealing than the 15-30% annual interest rates of traditional credit cards;
• All scenarios integrated: The app integrates savings, payroll distribution, bill payments, and even allows users to set up an 'ETH investment plan', automatically converting salary to eETH for interest, definitely a blessing for on-chain workers.
This design clearly targets the pain point of 'crypto natives not wanting to cash out', with founder Mike Silagadze stating: 'Ideally, users should never need to withdraw from the blockchain!' #ethfi
$ONDO SEC takes action! RWA leader Ondo 'challenges' regulators, is the U.S. tokenized securities about to establish rules?
Just last night (April 24), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suddenly released a meeting summary — RWA sector leader Ondo Finance, accompanied by top law firm Davis Polk, directly 'battled' with the SEC cryptocurrency working group, with a single theme: how to comply with regulations for tokenized securities in the U.S.?
The significance of this closed-door meeting is equivalent to pressing the fast-forward button for the compliance of 'on-chain Wall Street'. After all, Ondo is a tough player that has brought U.S. Treasury bonds and money market funds on-chain, with a long-term TVL (Total Value Locked) consistently ranking in the top three of the RWA sector. This time, they are directly calling for a regulatory sandbox exemption, clearly wanting to bypass the 'hellish difficulty' of traditional compliance.
Ondo's ambition: to be the 'compliance white glove' of on-chain Goldman Sachs Don’t be fooled by Ondo's current TVL of only $179 million; they have top institutions like Pantera and Coinbase Ventures backing them, and they are cozying up with BlackRock and Mastercard. This meeting, to put it simply, is paving the way for Wall Street:
• The tokenized Treasury bond OUSG has already facilitated collateralized lending through Flux Finance, effectively 'breaking apart' U.S. Treasury yields to sell to retail investors;
• The interest-bearing stablecoin USDY directly anchors to Treasury bonds + bank deposits, grabbing market share from Tether and USDC;
• Next step? It seems they plan to tokenize stocks and REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), allowing retail investors to buy up all of Wall Street with one click! #ondo
$SUI Sui collaborates with xPortal to launch the 'Crypto Mastercard', allowing European users to buy coffee with SUI now!
This move has crypto payment enthusiasts applauding! Just yesterday (April 24), the dark horse of public chains, Sui, suddenly announced a big move—partnering with financial platform xMoney and crypto application xPortal to create a digital Mastercard that supports SUI tokens! European users can now add this card to Apple Pay and Google Pay and directly spend SUI on anything from coffee and takeout to online shopping, achieving 'crypto spending freedom' in no time.
As soon as this news broke, the comments section exploded: 'Finally, I don't have to exchange fiat currency to make a payment!' 'Layer1 is now getting into offline payments?' What does this signify? Public chains are shifting from 'technical experiments' to 'massive applications', with payment being the most direct breakthrough. After all, tokens that can be used for daily consumption have the chance to shake off the 'air coin' label. #sui
$W Just now, the cross-chain protocol Wormhole announced a piece of news that will delight multi-chain enthusiasts—a multi-chain governance system, MultiGov, has officially launched on mainstream chains such as Solana, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other EVM L2s! This means that you no longer have to deal with cross-chain Gas fees just to cast a vote, or be forced to lock your tokens on a single chain.
Wormhole governance enters the 'true multi-chain era' As the first DAO to take the lead, Wormhole's own governance will fully integrate with MultiGov. W holders can now:
1. Delegate staking on Solana and earn rewards;
2. Initiate proposals on Base and rally ecosystem partners;
3. Vote on Optimism to determine the direction of protocol upgrades... No need for cross-chain transactions at all! (Finally no more being exploited by MEV bots!)
This move also aligns with the recent trend of traditional institutions 'rushing onto the chain'—for example, BlackRock uses Wormhole for cross-chain management of a $1.9 billion BUIDL fund, and Apollo has moved $73 billion in assets onto multiple chains. Institutions need seamless, low-cost governance tools, and MultiGov perfectly addresses this pain point. #Wormhole
95492583126 21230827151 Solana has introduced a "last-in, first-out" system to regulate the node ecosystem!
According to the latest policy, for every new validator node added, three "old-timers" must be eliminated. But don’t panic, this cut is only aimed at two types of nodes: those that have received foundation "relief funds" for over 18 months, and those "laid-back nodes" that can’t even gather 1000 SOL in their own staking. This move reminds me of the last-in, first-out system used by major internet companies; the blockchain world is also getting competitive.
Thinking about it, this tactic is quite clever: it provides opportunities for new players while forcing old nodes to be self-sufficient. Currently, there are over 500 validator nodes in the network, and at this rate of elimination, the node landscape is likely to undergo a major reshuffle within six months. However, those nodes being kicked out shouldn’t feel wronged; it's indeed a bit unreasonable if they can't even reach a staking amount of 1000 SOL (currently worth about 150,000 USD).
This adjustment clearly targets the banner of "decentralization." Previously, Solana was criticized for the foundation having too much control, and this "weaning plan" can be seen as a response to that criticism. Interestingly, just as the price of SOL recently rebounded back to 150 USD, the foundation took action to regulate the situation, indicating they want to refine the infrastructure before the bull market.
75623581838 42434431798 When classic IP meets blockchain: Ubisoft's ‘Might and Magic’ is surprisingly appealing? Friends, Ubisoft has actually combined the ancestral ‘Might and Magic’ IP with a blockchain card game into a ‘Renaissance-level nuclear bomb’! These days, even Assassin's Creed is parkouring in the metaverse, but no one expected that the first one to make Web3 players ecstatic would be the 39-year-old ‘Might and Magic’!
According to official spoilers, ‘Might and Magic: Destiny’ appears to be a classic mashup of ‘Hearthstone + Magic: The Gathering’, but secretly did a big move:
Cards as Assets: All cards are on the Immutable zkEVM blockchain, players truly own digital property rights (translation: can still sell second-hand even if it goes bankrupt); Faction Economics: Cards from different factions have exclusive skills + scarcity control, I heard the drop rate for dark elf card decks is tougher than Bitcoin halving (non-lucky player rage warning); Freebie enthusiasts rejoice: The base game is free, but rare card trading incurs a 5% tax (Ubisoft: I've finally found a way to monetize that's more exciting than selling DLC).
$TRUMP When the presidential dinner turns into an on-chain game: TRUMP whale's 'White House Metaverse' day tour. TRUMP coins are played out extravagantly — the top 25 whale holders can not only dine with the knowledgeable king but also unlock a VIP tour of the White House! This move directly transformed 'decentralization' into a 'presidential fan meeting'; while the retail investors curse the dealers for cutting them off, they are frantically gambling, with the coin price soaring 75% in one hour, and over $10 million in contracts liquidated across the network, maximizing the dramatic effect.
According to the official TRUMP announcement, this Washington dinner on May 22 is considered 'the top-level Versailles of the crypto world': Top 25 whales: Unlock a private meeting with Trump + special White House tour, requires passing an FBI-level background check, and no family members allowed (afraid of being discovered by the wife while gambling the pension?); Top 220 coin holders: Receive tickets to the dinner, but nationality limited to 'non-KYC blacklist countries'; Token locking mechanism: First batch of unlocked tokens + future three months' release shares must be locked for 90 days, with the dealer clearly manipulating liquidity tightening.
The most outrageous part is that the event is operated by a Trump family-affiliated company, Fight Fight Fight LLC, a name that seems to mock the short sellers: 'Come and fight if you disagree!' #trump
$SCR Scroll's big move: Will the Euclid upgrade revolutionize ZK-Rollup? Transaction fees plummet by 90%! Just when everyone was watching the wild fluctuations of meme coins on the Base chain, Scroll suddenly dropped a bombshell — the Euclid upgrade! It claims to reduce transaction fees to ankle-level prices (a 90% reduction) and maximize throughput. This move has left the neighboring OP Stack and zkSync sweating.
According to Scroll's official announcement, the most intuitive experience for users after the Euclid upgrade will be: Gas fees slashed by 90%, speed increased fivefold! It's important to note that the current cost of a single transaction on the Scroll mainnet is about $0.1, so by this ratio, after the upgrade it will drop directly to $0.01, cheaper than a Starbucks coffee straw. Coupled with enhanced throughput, could this turn Scroll into the 'Ethereum version of the Lightning Network'? #SCR
36446638107 DWF Labs, this 'Goldman Sachs of the crypto world', suddenly announced a strategic partnership with Mask Network, stating that they want to work together on decentralized social infrastructure. As soon as the news broke, $MASK soared, rising 10% in 10 minutes to a current price of $1.2, leaving the retail investors stunned: Has the long-awaited wealth finally come to SocialFi? Don't forget that this institution was just exposed last year for manipulating the price of MASK; be careful that good news could turn into bad!
$APT The Expo Digital Wallet is going crazy: the Aptos magic behind the explosive data. Just yesterday (April 23), Aptos officially released a set of data that left spectators stunned: since the Expo Digital Wallet migrated to the Aptos chain in January 2025, it has processed over 558,000 transactions and added 133,000 new accounts! It's worth noting that the Osaka Expo has just opened less than a month ago! This wave of data has left Visa, which is engaged in payments next door, completely baffled—who knew the explosive potential of Web3 wallets was so wild?
The success of the Osaka Expo essentially boils down to Aptos successfully handling three things: speed conquering efficiency enthusiasts, cashback attracting deal hunters, and NFTs capturing collectors. However, this approach heavily relies on localized operations (such as precisely targeting consumption scenarios) and burning cash for subsidies, which may not work in other markets.
That said, when even the Osaka grandmas are frantically shopping on-chain, the dawn of widespread Web3 adoption may truly be upon us—at least it proves one thing: it's not that users dislike blockchain; it's that the experience you provide isn’t “good enough.” #apt
$SNX Synthetix founder takes a bold move: sUSD decoupling crisis turns into opportunity, Perps V4 mainnet countdown begins!
Kain's latest lengthy article boils down to one sentence: "Previously, stakers struggled under debt, now we are using magic to defeat magic!" How do we do this?
• Complex hedging tools go live: inverse tokens, options, and wrappers are all arranged, so stakers' debt hedging is no longer 'naked'.
• sUSD anchoring mechanism upgraded: reportedly, it will integrate deep liquidity and multi-chain markets to lock the decoupling risk in the cradle (if it decouples again, it would be a slap in the face).
• User experience maximized: seamless wallets, multiple collateral options (ETH, USDC, even LSD?), plus incentive mechanisms allow stakers to 'earn while lying down'.
The most crucial point is that the Perps V4 mainnet deployment is set for before the end of June, and design details will be announced in the coming weeks. This rhythm is definitely 'fixing bugs while driving'!
$CHZ The top sports blockchain Chiliz is making moves again! Back when Gary Gensler used regulatory pressure to drive out the 'crypto son-in-law' from the U.S., now, taking advantage of Trump’s SEC Chairman Mark Uyeda's rise, they are making a comeback to Wall Street with a $50 million dowry.
Remember the year when Chiliz got scared by the FTX collapse and had to flee on a plane overnight? When they strategically exited the U.S. market, the whole internet was mocking 'sports tokens are done for', who would have thought that two years later they would return with Trump's government's 'crypto gift package'? Latest news shows that Chiliz has been in talks with the SEC crypto task force in a Capitol Hill backroom, with a core demand: 'Fan tokens are not securities! Give me my share!'. The 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is about to ignite their cash capability buff—Chiliz plans to invest $50 million to $100 million in localized operations.
Don’t forget, Trump is the man who wants to include Bitcoin in the national strategic reserves! Chiliz's return is like sending ammunition to the 'MAGA voter base'—the rednecks can watch the NFL while trading tokens and even vote for Trump on-chain. This is a triple wealth code of 'sports + crypto + politics'. #chiliz #CHZ
$ASTR Sony's big move in the blockchain arena really happened this time! Just a few days after officially announcing the launch of its L2 network Soneium's mainnet, Astar rushed into the battlefield with a revamped 'Yoki Legacy' — this operation is simply like mixing 'Pokémon GO' and 'The Legend of Zelda' in a metaverse blender on the streets of Shibuya, while casually sprinkling some NFT seasoning!
The original 'Yoki Origins' went crazy in the 2D world last year with collaborations like the Casio watch and Japan Airlines themed NFTs. This time, renamed 'Yoki Legacy', it has directly upgraded to become the flagship of Sony's Soneium ecosystem. Not only has the game mechanism been completely revamped, but the token has also changed its name from OMA to OMASTR — this name sounds like someone shouting 'Oh my! Speedrun!' in Akihabara Electric Town! (The chuunibyou spirit is ignited!)
From last year's ecological incubation with Sony and Toyota to now directly sending its flagship game to Soneium, this operation can be deemed a 'Son-in-law's counterattack'. Watching the ASTR token jump around, retail investors are calling out, 'So it turns out being a sycophant can really lead to financial freedom?' #astr
$BTC Bitcoin is going crazy! It has surged to $90,000 against the trend, truly becoming the nemesis of the dollar? Today, Bitcoin staged a direct performance of "violent aesthetics," not only smashing through the downward channel but also rubbing the U.S. stock and bond markets into the ground! This breakthrough has firmly cemented the safe-haven attribute of "digital gold" on the K-line, the dollar has plummeted, and institutions have overnight rewritten their scripts—Bitcoin, you really are something!
1. The dollar's credit has cracked, and Bitcoin is filling the gap! Brother Trump is at it again, wildly criticizing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell for "not understanding the economy," even threatening to remove him. The market takes a look at the dollar pill and goes straight to lubrication—gold surges to $3,500/ounce, while Bitcoin skyrockets to $88,000, the dollar drops 1%, and Bitcoin rises 4%, this reverse operation is smoother than Dove chocolate!
2. Geopolitical tensions are adding fuel to the fire! The U.S. has raised tariffs on China to 245%, and the supply chain crisis is stacking buffs, global recession anxiety is ramping up. At this time, Bitcoin's script is almost a replica of the crisis periods in Argentina and Turkey—fiat currency collapse? What does that have to do with my BTC!
3. Institutional buying frenzy alert! The Japanese listed company Metaplanet is crazily buying up Bitcoin, with holdings racing towards 10,000 coins, retail investors are exclaiming, "So you were secretly building your position?" Even Coinbase has been sued by the state government, but it can't stop the Bitcoin ETF from seeing a daily net inflow of $380 million.
Finally, the soul-searching question: If the dollar truly collapses, do you trust central bank digital currency, or go all-in on Bitcoin? #btc
83787378404 64768690542 Uniswap's favored Layer 2 Unichain TVL has directly broken through the 300 million USD mark, now soaring to 322.99 million USD! Even more astonishing is that the on-chain stablecoin TVL actually surged by 1977% in just one week, reaching 157 million USD—this growth rate is more intense than riding a rocket!
In fact, this surge had long been brewing. When Unichain just launched its mainnet in February, the TVL was only 25 million USD, but on April 15th, it suddenly released a bombshell: a crazy distribution of 5 million USD in UNI rewards over two weeks, directly injecting energy into 12 core pools! Especially the USDC/USDT0 pool, which absorbed 44 million USD in liquidity, accounting for half of the total TVL.
In the short term, this spike in TVL indeed relies on money distribution, but Unichain's strategic ambition goes beyond DeFi—backed by the Uniswap ecosystem and holding Ripple's payment network with 300+ banking resources, the future of cross-border payments and institutional entry is the real bombshell. The compliant stablecoin sector is going crazy now, and this cross-chain innovation of USDT0 might just allow for an unexpected lead.
$XRP Ripple's 'beloved' stablecoin RLUSD has finally entered the DeFi top tier Aave V3! Although it seems a bit quiet right now, the ambition behind it is not small, especially in the big game of cross-border payments. Currently, RLUSD has opened lending in Aave V3's Ethereum pool, with a supply cap of 50 million dollars and a borrowing limit of 5 million dollars. However, awkwardly, the pool utilization rate is currently 0%, and the interest rate is also 0%, without even a splash. But RLUSD has a market cap of 293 million dollars, and the total trading volume has surged to 10 billion dollars~ Ripple has made it clear that RLUSD's main battlefield is enterprise-level applications, especially cross-border payments! After all, RippleNet has already teamed up with over 300 banks globally, with institutions like Santander Bank and American Express on board. Now, integrating RLUSD into the payment system, the transfer speed is expected to soar (instantaneous arrival + transaction fees so low they can be ignored?). #xrp
