One interesting shift lately is how traditional markets are starting to show up inside crypto trading venues.
#Binance ’s TradFi perpetual futures have already crossed $130B in cumulative volume and about 90M trades just a couple of months after launch. Most of the activity so far seems to be concentrated in gold and silver.
On the busiest days, trading has reached around 6M+ trades, which says a lot about the demand for 24/7 access to assets that normally trade only during Wall Street hours.
Feels like another step toward crypto venues becoming global trading hubs rather than just crypto exchanges.

Aave Liquidations Triggered by Oracle Misconfiguration
A misconfigured price feed on #AAVE triggered about $26 million in liquidations on March 10 after wstETH was briefly valued around 0.9 ETH instead of ~0.99.

Aave confirmed no external oracle failure or exploit occurred. Affected users will be fully reimbursed using recovered liquidation bonuses and DAO treasury funds following a post-mortem from Chaos Labs, the protocol’s risk manager.
