volumes at 3,000 billion and market cap at 284.6 billion

The post volumes at 3,000 billion and market cap at 284.6 billion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to Artemis, in August the on-chain volumes of stablecoins approached ~3 trillion dollars (approximately +92% month over month), while the aggregated market capitalization reached 284.6 billion dollars, as reported by DeFiLlama. This acceleration indicates increasing liquidity, broader adoption, and a rapidly maturing ecosystem. It should be noted that the dynamic is not uniform across all networks, but the overall signal remains clear. A significant portion of the growth reflects both cross-chain arbitrage flows and an increase in operations related to payment services and derivatives markets. Industry analysts note that the market concentration on USDT (about 59% of the capitalization) has amplified the impact of supply and demand movements. Data and percentages refer to August; for real-time values, it is recommended to consult the mentioned dashboards. Trend of the total market cap of the stablecoin market. Source: DefiLlama In brief Market cap stablecoin: $284.6 billion, with an increase of approximately $17.5 billion over the month. On-chain volumes: ~$3,000 billion, +92% m/m. Number of transactions: ~1.2 billion, +16.9% m/m. Unique addresses: 41.7 million, approximately +25% m/m. Dominant networks: Ethereum and Tron remain the main liquidity hubs. Market Size and Dynamics of August The stablecoin market closed August at 284.6 billion dollars, an increase of about 17.5 billion compared to the beginning of the month. In parallel, on-chain volumes surged to ~3,000 billion, indicating intense usage across multiple use cases and networks. Consequently, the demand for on-chain dollars remained high despite the volatility of the broader crypto market. This trend is consistent with an expansion of supply and more widespread adoption in DeFi protocols and payments. In this context, operational use ranges from remittances and rapid settlement to liquidity strategies on AMM and derivatives markets.  Ethereum offers the greatest market depth, while Tron captures significant cross-border flows at low costs; at the…

World Liberty Burns 47M Tokens as WLFI Price Slides

World Liberty Burns 47M Tokens as WLFI Price Slides

The post World Liberty Burns 47M Tokens as WLFI Price Slides appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Trump family’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial, has begun burning its namesake token in a bid to boost its price, which has been in decline since launching to the public on Monday. Onchain data first reported by Lookonchain showed the platform burned 47 million World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens on Wednesday, permanently removing them from the supply. The token began trading on secondary markets for the first time on Monday, with its early investors allowed to sell their holdings to the public. The token briefly hit a peak of $0.331, but it has continued to decline, dropping 3.8% in the past day to just over 23 cents. Crypto projects undertake token burns in a bid to tighten supply and theoretically boost the value of the remaining tokens. Source: Lookonchain Burn a fraction of WLFI’s supply CoinMarketCap shows around 24.66 billion tokens, or just over 25% of WLFI’s original 100 billion supply, have so far been unlocked, with the burn representing 0.19% of the token’s circulating supply.  The transaction on Etherscan shows that the tokens were sent to a burn wallet on Sept. 2, with Etherscan now showing that the tokens’ total supply has been reduced to just over 99.95 billion. World Liberty put forward a proposal on Tuesday to implement a token buyback and burn program using protocol-owned liquidity fees in an effort to drive up the scarcity and price. The team claims in the proposal that a token burn would “increase the relative ownership percentage of committed long-term holders,” while removing from circulation tokens “held by participants not committed to WLFI’s long-term growth.”  The token is down over 31% from its opening high on its launch day, as short sellers offloaded the token, which the token burn aims to address. The majority of the 133 respondents in the…

The post Global Gold Launches $GOLDN, a Memecoin Aimed at Building Web3’s Gold Community appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. contributor Posted: September 3, 2025 Global Gold, the decentralized infrastructure protocol bringing fully allocated, audited bullion on-chain as programmable assets with direct legal ownership, announces the launch of $GOLDN — a community-first meme-powered scenecoin.

At a time when the world is rediscovering the value of gold, Global Gold is flipping the script, launching the first gold project that doesn’t just speak to institutions, but rallies the culture. “The gold industry doesn’t have a community. It has ETFs and industry associations,” said Cole Chapman, CEO of Global Gold. “$GOLDN changes that. It’s fun. It’s viral. It’s pure. And it’s here to make gold cool again.” Global Gold is developing the building blocks of decentralized monetary infrastructure for gold, transforming vaulted bullion into a programmable, 24/7-settled digital asset with on-chain proof of reserves, independent audits, and redeemability. The GOLDN token launch offers a lightweight way for the community to participate and support adoption as core products roll out. The $GOLDN launch comes alongside the firm’s expanding product ecosystem: Global Gold Bars: Jurisdiction-specific tokens backed 1:1 by legally owned, fully allocated bullion with on-chain transparency and redeemability. Global Gold Exchange: A purpose-built venue for price discovery and liquidity in tokenized gold. Global Gold Vaults: Self-custody experiences with guardian-powered protections designed for RWAs. The most secure multi-signature wallet on-chain. Global Gold’s primary U.S. vaulting partner is The Wyoming Reserve in Casper, Wyoming. The facility is independently audited by firms including Alfred H.

Venus Protocol Recovers $13.5M, Restores Operations

Venus Protocol Recovers $13.5M, Restores Operations

The post Venus Protocol Recovers $13.5M, Restores Operations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Highlights Venus Protocol halts, then restores operations after $13.5M theft scare Stolen funds secured; no user assets or frontend were compromised XVS token showed only slight gains despite recovery confirmation Venus Protocol Restores Operations After $13.5M Theft Scare Venus Protocol, a decentralized lending platform on BNB Chain, has resumed normal operations after halting services due to a phishing-related theft. Recovery and Security Measures On September 2, Venus announced that withdrawals and liquidations were restored at 9:58 PM UTC. The stolen funds were secured under the platform’s control, while all user assets and the frontend remained unaffected. The team defended its decision to pause activity, explaining that it was “necessary both to recover the stolen funds and to conduct a comprehensive security audit.” The issue stemmed from a phishing attack on a major trader, who unknowingly signed a malicious contract using the updateDelegate() function. According to blockchain security firm PeckShield, this enabled the attacker to siphon around $13.5 million. Initial reports put the potential loss at $27 million, but this was later revised. Source: X/PeckShieldAlert Market Reaction and Next Steps Despite the platform’s recovery and reassurance, the market response was subdued. XVS, Venus Protocol’s native token, ticked up just 4.6% and traded at $6.29 at press time. Venus XVS Price. Source: CoinGecko Venus stressed that the outage gave security experts the chance to verify there was no deeper breach. The developers also expressed gratitude to users: “We’re thankful for the community’s support during this critical moment.” The project has promised to release a full incident report detailing the recovery process and security findings in the near future.
