- The Ethereum Merge: Past, Present and Future
Access Private Credit Market Through Defi with a Better and Stable Yield
- Stablecoins borrowing demand, and thus the lending yield is strongly correlated with crypto market performance. Stablecoins yields are now less than U.S. 1-year Treasury rate.
- Newer Defi lending protocols channel stablecoins liquidity to institutions, businesses, and consumers outside the crypto industry. They provide a more stable yield that is not dependent on crypto market performance.
- While these protocols present yield opportunities for stablecoins, their protocol tokens are not ideal targets for investment.
The Ethereum Merge: Past, Present and Future
- The much anticipated Ethereum Merge is upon us – on September 15 UTC, Ethereum mainnet will be merging with the proof-of-stake consensus layer, the Beacon Chain.
- The Beacon Chain was created on December 1, 2020, and has since existed as a separate blockchain to Mainnet, running in parallel.
- This will be one of the most significant upgrades in Ethereum’s history, and took years of research and development.
