Futures

By 2026, the market has seen a massive shift toward institutional-grade futures platforms with enhanced regulatory compliance.

Pendle Clears Another Maturity, TVL Smashes to $9.3B

Pendle Clears Another Maturity, TVL Smashes to $9.3B

The post Pendle Clears Another Maturity, TVL Smashes to $9.3B appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Three weeks ago, $1.5B matured. Liquidity flowed out. Yet in days, Pendle snapped back. TVL surged to $7B. A fresh ATH. Last week, the same story played out. Another $898M matured. Again, Pendle absorbed the hit. Again, capital rushed back. This time, TVL climbed higher, a new all-time high at $9.2B. Pendle Finance: Transforming DeFi Yield into Tradable Assets Pendle Finance has evolved from a niche DeFi protocol into a dominant force in the decentralized finance landscape. As of August 2025, Pendle’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has surged to over $8.9 billion, marking a 45%… pic.twitter.com/G5fOkP2Aow — Haris Ali (@CryptoWitHaris) August 19, 2025 Today, Pendle sits at $9.32B TVL, climbing steadily, charting higher. The market keeps testing it. Pendle keeps bouncing stronger. Pendle From Niche to a Defi Giant In just two years, Pendle has gone from a niche yield tokenization experiment to a DeFi giant. As of August 2025, TVL has grown more than 45% year-over-year. The protocol now dominates its category. It’s not a side play anymore. It is the yield layer of DeFi. The mechanics drive the growth. Pendle splits a yield-bearing asset into two parts: Principal Token (PT): The base. Redeemable at maturity. Yield Token (YT): The stream. Claims all yield until maturity. This split is simple but powerful. PTs give asset exposure. YTs isolate yield. Farmers, hedgers, and traders all find their angle. Impermanent loss shrinks. Strategies expand. Capital works harder. Key Metrics To Watch  The numbers tell the story. TVL Growth: $230M in Jan 2023 → $9.3B today. Market Share: 50% of DeFiLlama’s “Yield” category. Trading Volume: $34.9B cumulative. $6.56B in the past 30 days. $1.76B in 7 days. $99.6M in 24h. Fees: $56.8M annually. $26.2M in net earnings post-incentives. Pendle isn’t chasing attention. It’s pulling real flow. Pendle is rewriting Defi growth charts…

WTI price recovers above $62.50 as traders brace for Trump-Zelenskiy meeting

WTI price recovers above $62.50 as traders brace for Trump-Zelenskiy meeting

The post WTI price recovers above $62.50 as traders brace for Trump-Zelenskiy meeting appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WTI price rebounds to around $62.55 in Tuesday’s early Asian session.  Trump said he had spoken to Putin to begin making plans for a summit with Ukraine’s Zelenskiy.  Reduced Fed rate cut expectations might cap the upside for the WTI price.  West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US crude oil benchmark, is trading around $62.55 during the early Asian trading hours on Tuesday. The WTI edges higher after talks between US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart in the wake of an inconclusive US-Russia summit in Alaska on Friday. Traders await the release of the American Petroleum Institute (API) weekly Crude Oil Stock, which is due later on Tuesday.  On Monday, Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met at the White House to discuss a path to ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. US President said that the US would “help out” Europe in providing security for Ukraine as part of any deal to end the war in Ukraine and expressed hope that Monday’s summit could eventually lead to a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Trump further stated that negotiations to obtain peace in the years-long war prompted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine can take place while both countries are still fighting, dropping his earlier calls for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure. Its drones struck in Russia’s Tambov region, leading to the suspension of supplies via the, per Reuters. This, in turn, provides some support to the WTI price.  On the other hand, traders pared bets on a rate cut at the US Federal Reserve (Fed) at the September 16-17 meeting after Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation was hotter than expected in July. This could provide some support to the US Dollar (USD) and undermine the USD-denominated commodity price. Fed fund futures traders are now pricing in an 83% chance of a September…

Canadian Dollar flat lines near 1.3800 ahead of Canadian CPI inflation data

Canadian Dollar flat lines near 1.3800 ahead of Canadian CPI inflation data

The post Canadian Dollar flat lines near 1.3800 ahead of Canadian CPI inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD holds steady around 1.3800 in Tuesday’s early Asian session.  Trump begins planning for a trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelenskyy.  The possibility of a Fed cut in September stays at 83%.  The USD/CAD pair extends its ongoing range-bound theme near 1.3800 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. Investors remain cautious as US President Donald Trump begins planning for a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The Canadian July Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation report will be in the spotlight later on Tuesday.  Trump said late Monday that he was working to arrange a meeting between Putin and Zelensky after a summit with Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. Trump further stated that Zelenskiy could end the war, raising the prospect of Kyiv being forced into making unpalatable territorial concessions. Trump’s hopes of achieving an immediate peace deal have given way to much softer suggestions that a partial peace agreement may be reached in the coming weeks. However, any signs of escalating tensions could weigh on the riskier currency, such as the Canadian Dollar (CAD), and create a tailwind for the pair.  Traders pared bets on a rate cut at the US Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting on September 16-17 after the Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation was hotter than expected in July, which might support the US Dollar (USD). According to the CME FedWatch tool, Fed fund futures traders are now pricing in an 83% chance of a September rate cut, after last week briefly fully pricing in a move. Traders will closely monitor the Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium later on Friday for rate clues.  Meanwhile, a recovery in crude oil prices could lift the commodity-linked Loonie. It’s worth noting that Canada is the largest oil exporter to the US, and higher crude oil prices tend to have…

XRP Price Bears Target $2.24 After Key Trendline Snaps

XRP Price Bears Target $2.24 After Key Trendline Snaps

The post XRP Price Bears Target $2.24 After Key Trendline Snaps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key takeaways XRP price must reclaim $3 support to avoid a deeper correction to $2.24. Spot taker CVD remains negative, suggesting waning demand. XRP (XRP) showed weakness on Monday, down 5% over the last 24 hours, and trading at $2.97. Multiple technical and onchain indicators suggested that the second-biggest altcoin must reclaim $3 support to avoid a deeper correction toward $2.24. XRP price bulls must hold $3 The latest sell-off has seen XRP price drop below the psychological $3 level. The last time XRP saw a high volume close below it was in January, preceding a 50% drop to $1.61 in April. Related: XRP futures OI jumps 20% as price charts target $6 in August A daily close below $3 could trigger a similar drawdown in price, with the first area of interest between the 50-day simple moving average at $2.94 and the local low at $2.72 (reached on Aug. 2). The second area of interest sits between the 100-day SMA at $2.60 and the 200-day SMA at $2.45. Losing this support would bring $2.24 into the picture, where the July rally started. XRP/USD daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed XRP trading breaking below a symmetrical triangle on the daily candle chart, as shown below.
