Millions in emerging markets rely on stablecoins for daily transactions but lack safe, compliant ways to earn yield on their digital dollars and euros — returns that issuers typically capture for themselves. OpenTrade solves this by enabling fintechs, neobanks, and exchanges to embed real-world asset (RWA)-backed stablecoin yield products directly into the apps people already use, transforming stablecoins from passive payment tools into active savings vehicles with yields of 3–9% APR.In exclusive conversations with TFN, OpenTrade’s founders shared: “Stablecoins are crypto’s killer application. Stablecoin transaction volumes surpass $20T annually, surpassing Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal. They’re not just for crypto users—over…

PENGU reclaimed the lost support level at the $0.009 – $0.01 zone, following a surge of about 12% in a day amid broader market recovery.

For years, Ethereum reigned supreme as the go-to platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. But in recent times, the ecosystem has faced mounting pressure from both within and without. High gas fees, limited scalability, and stiff competition from nimble Layer 1 (L1) chains and fast-growing Layer 2 (L2) solutions have questioned Ethereum’s dominance. Is Ethereum truly losing its edge, or is it simply evolving into a different role in the blockchain hierarchy? Ethereum’s Gas Fees and Scalability Challenges Ethereum’s scalability limitations are well-documented. Despite several upgrades, the network currently handles around 173.6 transactions per second (TPS) using blobs,…

Open interest in Ethereum has reached an all-time high on Kraken, suggesting coming volatility in either direction.

First of all, as we transition to building companies with agents rather than humans, we need to rethink things from the ground up. This starts with what I call AJDs — Agent Job Descriptions. A standard job description has the following things:However, an Agent Job Description needs to be a little different as we can build this labour, buy it or a combination of these two. While an AJD may be performative in nature, it can help clarify your own thinking about what your needs are for this agent.So what does an Agent Job Description look like? The following:What is…

Solana-based memecoin launchpad and trading platform Pump.fun’s total SOL deposits to Kraken amount to over $660 million: Is this a massive profit cash out or liquidity play?

Scalability with Ethereum has always been a hurdle that DeFi transactions have had to battle with, because Ethereum’s Layer 1 can only process around 15-30 transactions per second(TPS). This leads to network congestion, slower transaction times, and high gas fees, and to overcome this hurdle, developers have turned to Layer 2 solutions, which are technologies built on Ethereum that seek to enhance blockchain efficiency and performance without compromising security or decentralization. Being the backbone of decentralized applications(dApps), smart contracts and DeFi transactions, Ethereum has had to come up with solutions to resolve these limitations. Some of the most promising Layer…
