SharpLink Gaming just locked in another large batch of Ethereum (ETH). On-chain trackers spotted the company staking 42,074 ETH valued at roughly $112.8 million in a single move. The fresh deposit pushes SharpLink’s total ETH position to 892,127 tokens, now worth about $2.4 billion at recent prices near $2,680–$2,690. Cumulative staking rewards have climbed to 27,945 ETH, equal to roughly $75 million. This latest stake continues a clear pattern. SharpLink treats ETH as a productive treasury asset rather than a static holding. Nearly all of its ether sits in staking arrangements, including native deposits and liquid-staking tokens such as those…

Raydium just delivered its strongest weekly revenue since last summer. Data from Blockworks, shared via Messari, shows the Solana decentralised exchange (DEX) climbing back to levels last seen in August 2025. The recent bars on the weekly chart stand out clearly after months of quieter activity. Swap fees from concentrated liquidity pools and LaunchLab activity supplied most of the lift. This rebound arrives after a long stretch of softer volumes across Solana DEXes. Raydium’s product mix has shifted in helpful ways. Concentrated liquidity market maker (CLMM) pools now contribute a larger share of swap revenue, while LaunchLab has regained momentum…
Tokenized stocks have crossed a notable threshold inside decentralised finance (DeFi). Token Terminal data shows $252 million worth of these assets now sit deposited across DeFi venues. Uniswap leads the pack with $82.1 million across its v3 and v4 deployments. Kamino Lend follows at $51.3 million, while Pendle holds $33.8 million. The remaining balance spreads across Raydium, PancakeSwap, and several other protocols. This figure reflects rapid adoption. Just weeks earlier, the total hovered near $250 million after climbing nearly twenty fold over the prior year. Users are no longer simply holding tokenized equities. They are putting them to work as liquidity,…
Chainlink just punched through to a fresh 2026 peak of $14.89, something that has been missing for almost ten (10) months. The move caps a sharp climb from under $7 back in June 2026. At the same time, the number of non-empty wallets slipped to 912,020. That dip points to smaller holders quietly booking gains while the price runs. Santiment’s latest on-chain read shows the holder count easing even as price climbs. Yet, the remaining base still sits near historic highs after steady expansion through the year. What Does the Drop in Small Holders Actually Signal for Chainlink? When price…
Spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) recorded a fresh daily net inflow of 1,740 BTC, equal to $145.71 million, according to on-chain analytics shared on Monday, September 28, 2026. Over the prior seven days, the same products absorbed 29,298 BTC, or roughly $2.45 billion. These figures arrive at a time when Bitcoin has pulled back from recent highs, yet institutional demand through regulated vehicles continues to build. In the meantime, the parallel Ethereum ETF complex also posted positive flows, though Bitcoin remains the clear leader in absolute capital attracted. What Do the $145.7M Daily Bitcoin ETF Inflows Actually Represent? Daily creations…
Last week’s on-chain data painted a clear picture of fresh capital entering the crypto ecosystem, particularly stablecoin supply. Between Monday, September 21 and Sunday, September 27, 2026, total stablecoin supply expanded by $2.79 billion, according to Lookonchain’s weekly report. At the same time, four public companies increased their Bitcoin holdings by a combined 2,938 BTC, valued at roughly $246 million. These two movements unfolded side by side while decentralised exchange (DEX) activity cooled. DEX spot volume dropped 6.44% week-over-week and perpetual futures volume slipped 1.71%. Protocol revenue, however, edged higher by 3.41%, with one standout project recording extreme growth. What…
Tether’s USDT processed a record $4.4 trillion in onchain volume during the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025. About 88% of those transfers stayed under $1,000, showing that everyday payments now drive a large share of activity. Meanwhile, most existing blockchains still treat stablecoins as secondary assets rather than core settlement tools. Stable steps into that gap with StableChain, a purpose-built Layer-1 that places USDT at the centre of its design. The network delivers sub-second finality, lets users pay fees directly in USDT, and reserves blockspace for payment flows. Messari’s newly published initiation of coverage examines the architecture, tokenomics and roadmap…
A clear shift has taken hold across Binance’s altcoin (alternate coins) markets. Fresh data shows that 87% of listed altcoins have reversed earlier trends and moved into bullish momentum. Traders and analysts are watching the numbers closely while early caution signals also appear on the charts. What the Latest Data Actually Shows CryptoQuant’s analysis reveals a broad rotation. Most altcoins that previously traded in downtrends or sideways ranges have now flipped positive on key momentum indicators. Looking closer, the breadth of the move stands out more than any single coin’s performance. Meanwhile, Bitcoin dominance continues to ease, giving smaller assets…
Gate tradfi volume desk just delivered its strongest monthly performance on record. September volume has already reached $16.86 billion, clearing August’s previous high of $12.58 billion with several trading sessions still left on the calendar. The figure marks a clear acceleration in activity linked to traditional market products on the platform. Gate TradFi Volume: What the Latest Numbers Reveal CryptoQuant data shows the desk has already surpassed last month’s total before the final days of September arrived. Looking closer, the jump represents more than a modest increase. Further breakdowns indicate consistent daily flows rather than a single outlier session. Beyond…
Traders monitoring perpetual futures markets just spotted something unusual in the spot-perp arbitrage market. Spot-perp arbitrage gaps have widened dramatically, creating net annualised percentage rates that top 1,000% on several pairs. Sharpe Labs highlighted the scale of these opportunities in a recent post, listing extreme figures across multiple assets. What Exactly Is Spot-Perp Arbitrage? Spot-perp arbitrage involves buying the asset in the spot market while shorting the perpetual futures contract, or the reverse, to capture the funding rate difference. When funding rates become heavily skewed, the annualised yield can turn extraordinary. In this case, several pairs showed net annual percentage…
