The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending platform Aave is facing strong Rebound from the community. The controversy arises from Aave's recent introduction of a 0.15% to 0.25% fee on the originally free asset swap function in the official front-end interface, and this revenue does not flow into the DAO treasury but is retained by the development company Aave Labs. This move has sparked widespread discussion in the community about whether "decentralized governance is being undermined," and has focused the entire Decentralized Finance community on a core question: who truly controls the value and revenue of the protocol?

Preface Has the era of easily earning cryptocurrency returns really come to an end? A year ago, putting money into stablecoins was like having a cheat code, providing both generous interest and (supposedly) no risk. Now, that fantasy has been shattered. The entire stablecoin yield opportunities in the cryptocurrency space have collapsed, leaving DeFi lenders and yield farmers in a near-zero return predicament. Where has the once "risk-free" annual percentage yield (APY) golden goose gone? And who is to blame for the decline of yield farming? Let’s delve into the current state of stablecoin yields, and the results are shocking. The dream of "risk-free" returns is dead. Do you remember the good times around 2021? Back then, various protocols tempted users to invest in USDC and DAI with double-digit annual percentage yields (APY) as if they were selling candy. Centralized platforms promised returns of 8% to 18%.

A young police officer in Hsinchu, Taiwan, is suspected of losing money during a previous Bitcoin fall and unable to repay the borrowed principal, leading to charges of fraud. He was recently summoned and searched, and has been released on bail of 250,000 yuan. (Previous context: A Thai homeowner sold a river-view luxury house for 3.88 Bitcoins, is it now 31% off if bought directly?) (Background: SpaceX transferred 100 million dollars in Bitcoin, is Musk cashing out?) On the 26th of this month, the lights were on in the standby room of the Hukou Police Station in Hsinchu County as investigators searched for documents and mobile phones belonging to a 24-year-old officer with the surname Dai. Just a few months ago, he was on duty on the streets, but now he has been released on bail and is awaiting further questioning. This outcome is familiar in the crypto world: contracts, Bitcoin, loans. The leverage in cryptocurrency trading has severed the funding chain. According to reports from the Central News Agency and police sources, Officer Dai was optimistic about Bitcoin in early 2025, initially using his savings and later borrowing hundreds of thousands from friends to enter the market.

Author: Justin Alick Compiled by: ShenChao TechFlow Has the era of easily obtaining cryptocurrency earnings officially ended? A year ago, putting cash into stablecoins felt like finding a cheat code. Generous interest, ( supposedly ) zero risk. Today, this dream has turned to ashes. The yield opportunities of stablecoins in the entire cryptocurrency sector have collapsed, leaving DeFi lenders and yield farmers trapped in a near-zero return wasteland. What happened to that "risk-free" annual percentage yield (APY) golden goose (cash cow)? Who is to blame for the yield farming turning into a ghost town? Let’s dive deep into the "autopsy report" of stablecoin yields; it’s not a pretty sight. The dream of "risk-free" returns is dead. Do you remember those wonderful old days? ( Around 2021 ), various protocols were throwing out USDC and DAI like candy.

Author: Galaxy Compiled by: Felix, PANews (This article has been edited) Crypto asset collateralized lending reached a historic high at the end of Q3, largely driven by the growth of on-chain lending. Although the long-standing peak set in Q4 2021 was finally surpassed nearly four years later, today’s market is very different. First, on-chain lending now accounts for a much larger share of the total lending market; at the end of Q4 2021, on-chain lending through applications like Aave and collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins like DAI accounted for 48.6% of the market. Today, this proportion has risen to 66.9%. In the on-chain lending sector, the balance between lending applications and CDP stablecoins has also shifted significantly. As of the end of Q3 2025, lending applications account for more than 80% of the on-chain market, while CD

ERC-8004 was drafted in August this year and addresses this issue through three lightweight on-chain registries (identity, reputation, and verification). Since its launch, ERC-8004 has facilitated numerous prototypes and generated widespread interest, with over a hundred companies planning to build upon the protocol. The final specification was authored by Marco De Rossi (MetaMask), Davide

Who is the third stablecoin that comes to your mind? USDT and USDC occupy the top two positions with little doubt, but the current third is not DAI, FDUSD, or TUSD, but a new face that has been launched for less than two years—USDe. According to CoinGecko data, as of September 23, the circulating supply of USDe has surpassed $14 billion, ranking third in the stablecoin market, only behind USDT and USDC. More notably, if we exclude the volumes of USDT and USDC, USDe has nearly captured 40% of the market share of all other stablecoins, creating strong pressure on the survival space of established stablecoins. What exactly does this rising star rely on to emerge rapidly in a short period? What are the underlying profit logic and risk vulnerabilities behind it? And as USDe rises rapidly,

Finally! The Ethereum Foundation has established the dAI team, I especially want to ask: what were you doing earlier? I have repeatedly emphasized in several articles that AI Agents will become the "redemption" of many Crypto narratives. Ethereum needs to consolidate its position as a decentralized and secure settlement layer for global public chains, and the technical debt has already become too heavy. A new application scenario that can refresh old technology is needed, and it is highly likely to be AI Agents. So, what are the highlights of what the dAI team plans to do? 1) Build "AI Economy on Ethereum", allowing AI Agents to autonomously pay and coordinate on-chain, eliminating intermediaries. This will require the maturity of many other AI infrastructure components: For example, AI Memory context memory solution, AI Oracle real-time dynamic price feeding solution, AI
