Pendle ranks among the highest-earning DeFi protocols of 2025
Pendle is gradually establishing itself in the upper echelons of DeFi based on a key market metric — actual revenue. According to TokenTerminal, since the beginning of 2025, the protocol has earned around $33 million, placing it third among money market DeFi platforms. Only Aave and Spark are above it.

The AI race will be won by the state that controls cryptography
The future leaders in artificial intelligence will be determined by digital sovereignty, not by the size of models and the number of graphics processors.
For any country wishing to compete and win in this field, there is one essential condition: full control over its cryptography and digital identity. Without this, nations will not only fall behind the leaders — they will lose sovereignty over their data, AI systems, and strategic future.
