The post New Institutional Yield Product Hits $400M on Solana (SOL) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Darius Baruo May 15, 2026 08:48 Ethena’s yield markets on Solana reach $400M in 3 days, signaling institutional DeFi momentum with curated risk management. Institutional finance is making a bold move into decentralized finance (DeFi), with the launch of a new curated yield product on Solana (SOL). Ethena, a stablecoin-focused issuer, seeded two isolated lending markets with $200 million each in USDG stablecoins on May 12. Within just 24 hours, one of the pools hit full utilization. Combined, the two markets now hold $397 million in USDe collateral, with Kamino becoming Solana’s fastest-ever market to cross $400 million in size. What’s significant here is who’s involved. Bitwise, an $11 billion asset manager known for its regulated crypto investment products, is curating one of the markets (Jupiter Lend). This marks the first time a traditional asset manager has tak

The Bitcoin DeFi protocol is moving its assets away from LayerZero following the Kelp DAO exploit that led to the loss of $292 million.

The post RedStone’s settlement layer is the first serious attempt to make tokenized RWAs real DeFi collateral appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RedStone’s new “Settle” layer is the first sober attempt to fix DeFi’s RWA paradox. Summary RedStone Settle liquidates RWA‑backed loans via on‑chain auctions, letting LPs buy the position and assume slow 60–180 day redemption risk, so lending protocols keep atomic, instant liquidations. With around $30B of tokenized Treasuries, credit and funds sitting as “dead capital,” Settle standardizes liquidation and repricing so RWAs can back Aave‑style markets instead of being trapped in isolated wrappers. The trade‑off is structural: if Settle becomes the default, RedStone’s oracle and auction stack starts to look like a quasi‑central clearinghouse for RWA collateral inside an allegedly permissionless ecosystem. RedStone has launched “RedStone Settle,” a dedicated DeFi settlement layer built to make tokenized real‑world assets usable as collateral i

The post DeFi Executives Speak on Critical Issues Affecting the Tokenized Asset Ecosystem appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. There is a “double-standard” problem facing the tokenized assets ecosystem. DeFi companies should not be discussing minimum standards amid high expectations. Regulatory elements are the potential catalysts for the tokenized asset sector. DeFi executives and stakeholders have highlighted several issues inhibiting the industry’s development, suggesting methods to address challenges and create a consistent ecosystem that will enable innovation to thrive. https://youtu.be/C1DthcsKzPw?si=uXsg-GzMaOqxAdLO  The experts expressed their opinions during a meetup hosted by NOWNodes as one of the sideline events of Consensus 2026 in Miami.

The post Babylon Bitcoin staking hits $4 billion TVL milestone appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Babylon Bitcoin staking has hit a new milestone, reaching $4 billion in total value locked just one year after launch and giving fresh momentum to a long-running crypto goal: making Bitcoin useful in DeFi without asking holders to leave the Bitcoin network behind. That number matters because Babylon is not pitching another wrapped-Bitcoin workaround. Instead, the protocol lets users stake Bitcoin directly from the Bitcoin network, with no wrapping or bridging required. Bitcoin stays locked on its native chain throughout the staking process, while transactions remain publicly verifiable. For a market that has spent years debating whether Bitcoin can become productive without adding bridge risk, Babylon Bitcoin staking is drawing attention for a simple reason: it is trying to turn the biggest crypto asset into working collateral while preserving its core security assumptions. Babylon Bitco
