Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is now the BNB chain. BSC, the layer 1 blockchain of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, recently announced the merger of Binance Smart Chain and Binance Chain to form BNB Chain. The relaunch of Binance’s Layer 1, or base, blockchain is part of a plan to expand and build decentralization by linking it to the protocol’s governance token (BNB).

“People always think BSC is part of Binance because it carries the company’s name,” Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said. “We’ve done a lot of work to decentralize it and hopefully make BNB surpass Binance,” he added.

Liquidity mining is a potentially lucrative way to earn income in the DeFi market, but it also comes with a lot of risks.
Liquidity mining is one of the most popular income-generating opportunities in the global DeFi market, allowing you to earn above-average returns by depositing cryptocurrencies in a liquidity mining protocol.
What is liquidity mining?
Liquidity mining refers to depositing tokens into a DeFi protocol’s liquidity pool to earn rewards, usually paid in the form of the protocol’s governance token.
There are many ways to farm yield, but the most common involves depositing crypto assets into a decentralized lending or trading pool to provide liquidity. In exchange for providing liquidity to these platforms, Liquidity Providers (LPs) receive a certain annual yield (APY), which is typically paid out in real time.

#Aave
$AAVE is an old friend, a veteran DeFi. But the market is really weak, there's not much strength in the rebound, and it's clearly not the time to rush.
Aave's 2026 plan focuses on scaling through the V4 Hub and Spoke architecture, reaching $1 billion in real-world assets, and expanding its brand new mobile application.

Aave founder and CEO Stani Kulechov announced the 'overall plan' for its decentralized protocol in 2026, shortly after revealing that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has concluded its four-year investigation of the platform.
On Tuesday, Kulechov posted on X, stating that although 2025 is the platform's most 'successful year' to date, he still believes Aave is in the 'day zero' phase compared to the future.

Markus Thielen, head of 10x Research, stated that the four-year cycle of Bitcoin still exists, but the driving forces have shifted from halving to politics, liquidity, and elections.

According to Markus Thielen, head of 10x Research, the long-standing four-year cycle of Bitcoin is still ongoing, but the forces driving this cycle have shifted from halving to politics and liquidity.
He stated in The Wolf Of All Streets Podcast that the notion of the four-year cycle being 'broken' misses the point. In his view, the cycle still exists, but it is no longer dominated by the supply reductions predetermined by Bitcoin; rather, it is increasingly shaped by the U.S. election timetable, central bank policies, and funds flowing into risk assets.

Gold supporter Peter Schiff clashed with Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao 'CZ' at an event in Dubai, arguing that tokenized gold is a better store of value asset than Bitcoin.

In a forum during the Binance Blockchain Week, Peter Schiff, an advocate for gold, highlighted the challenges of verifying physical gold in a dialogue with Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, as Schiff failed to confirm whether a gold bar handed to him was genuine.
The core of the debate is which is more suitable as a store of value asset between tokenized gold and Bitcoin across five dimensions: divisibility, portability, verifiability, durability, and supply constraints—key factors in assessing the viability of an asset as currency.

This qualitative assessment from number 28 has shattered all the fantasies about stablecoins in the industry over the past few years.

On the surface, it is a regulatory policy, but in reality, it is a statement about monetary power.

The United States has turned stablecoins into an extension of the digital dollar with the (GENIUS Act). Domestically, this qualitative assessment categorizes stablecoins as illegal.

Both sides are very clear about what they are doing.

01 | “Stablecoins are a form of virtual currency.”

This is not the first time virtual currency has been mentioned, but it is the first time that the authorities have explicitly equated stablecoins with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

In the past few years, many projects have bet on the assumption that “stablecoins are not considered virtual currency.” They believed that as long as there are dollar reserves and no volatility, they could tell a story to regulators.
