DeFi Alpha

GM Defiers!

The SEC has charged Coinbase with operating in the U.S. without the necessary approvals, potentially impacting the regulation of digital assets. Optimism deployed its Bedrock upgrade, enhancing its Layer 2 technology stack. Aave has proposed the deployment of its GHO stablecoin on Ethereum, which could intensify competition in DeFi borrowing markets. Meanwhile, Centrifuge has launched Prime, a platform enabling DAOs to manage real-world asset portfolios, further bridging traditional and blockchain finance.
