Gate Launches Limited-Time USD1 Savings Campaign with Up to 20% APY
According to an official announcement, Gate has launched a limited-time USD1 staking program offering high yields. During the campaign period, users holding USD1 in their asset accounts (minimum holding requirement: 1 USD1) can earn up to 20% annualized yield. The annualized yield rate is adjusted daily based on the remaining monthly reward budget and the platform’s total effective USD1 holdings. The updated annualized yield rate is published daily around 14:00 (UTC+8). The system takes hourly snapshots of users’ USD1 balances to calculate the average holding amount for yield calculation. Yields are distributed to users’ asset accounts the following day. According to the announcement, USD1 is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial. It is fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury bills and cash equivalents, designed to maintain a stable 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar. As a regulated, reserve-backed asset, USD1 delivers the same price stability as traditional cash—on-chain and in digital form.
Bybit × Doppler Finance Launches Institutional-Grade XRP Fixed-Income Product with 5% APY
It is reported that Bybit Earn has entered a strategic partnership with Doppler Finance to officially launch an institutional-grade XRP fixed-income product, offering users a new yield opportunity. Traditionally, XRP does not support native staking, limiting its yield potential. This collaboration introduces Doppler Finance’s institutional-grade yield strategies, making yield-generating capabilities—previously available only to institutions—accessible to retail users. These strategies are selected and executed by Doppler Finance, a native yield platform focused exclusively on the XRP ecosystem, dedicated to delivering secure, transparent, and compliant yield solutions for non-stakable assets. During the campaign, users participating in the 90-day XRPfi fixed-income product will earn an annualized yield of 5%, comprising a base annualized yield of 2.5% plus an additional 2.5% annualized reward drawn from a 30,000 XRP incentive pool. Campaign Period: April 13, 2026, 10:00 – July 12, 2026, 23:59 (UTC)

According to previous reports, TRON DeFi Summer officially launched on July 6. USDD, together with JustLend DAO and Binance Wallet, launched the Summer Earn Plan, offering participating users a total reward of $900,000. The event runs from now until August 5 at 07:59 (Singapore Time).

Data: Robinhood Earn Vault TVL Reaches $16 Million, APY at 7.1%
Tom Wan, Head of Data at Entropy Advisors and former analyst at 21.co, stated on platform X that the Robinhood Earn vault, managed by Steakhouse Financial on Morpho, has currently reached a TVL of $16 million with an APY of 7.1%. Of this, 1.7% comes from protocol revenue, and 5.4% comes from incentive subsidies.Tom Wan noted that Robinhood allocates an annual incentive budget of $115 million in USDG to this vault. Based on the current incentive rate of approximately 5%, this could theoretically support a deposit scale of around $2 billion, corresponding to a TVL potential of between $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion.
Analyst: Aftermath of rsETH Security Incident Continues; Demand for ETH Leveraged Loops Notably Cools
: On-chain analyst Tom Wan stated on platform X that the current ETH utilization rate has dropped below 90%, and the lending APY has fallen to 1.9%. Since the rsETH LayerZero cross-chain bridge was attacked, the deposits of wstETH and weETH have decreased by approximately $1.2 billion and $1.76 billion, respectively. As the strategy of leveraged looping wstETH/weETH against ETH becomes profitable again, market attention is turning to whether demand for ETH leveraged loops will return, or if capital will continue to wait on the sidelines or flow into protocols like Spark and Morpho.
Aave Sees $15.1 Billion Outflow in Three and a Half Days, Total Deposits Drop to $30.7 Billion
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), since the rsETH incident, funds have continuously flowed out of the Aave platform—approximately $15.1 billion in total over 3.5 days. Total deposits dropped from $48.5 billion pre-incident to $30.7 billion, representing a withdrawal of roughly one-third of funds; stablecoin outflows amounted to $4.5 billion. However, due to this capital outflow, the platform’s stablecoin deposit APY temporarily remained elevated at 13.4%. During the same period, Morpho saw outflows of approximately $1.5 billion, with total deposits declining from $11.7 billion to $10.2 billion. In contrast, Spark experienced逆势 fund inflows: its TVL rose from $1.9 billion to $3.2 billion—an increase of about $1.3 billion—partly driven by reallocation from whales such as Justin Sun and institutions withdrawing from Aave.

Coinbase Releases Q2 Solana Validator Operations Report, Stakes 41.63 Million SOL, with Yield and Stability Above Network Average
Odaily News Coinbase has released its Q2 2026 Solana validator operations report, stating that its Solana validator nodes outperform the network average in terms of yield, stability, and infrastructure distribution. Data shows that Coinbase currently stakes approximately 41.63 million SOL across 23 validator nodes, accounting for 9.72% of Solana's total staked supply, with nodes distributed across 7 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and other regions. Key operational metrics are as follows:Staking scale: 41.63 million SOL, representing 9.72% of total network staked supply;Staking yield: Q2 2026 quarterly APY of 6.52%, higher than the network average of 6.38%, outperforming by 14 basis points;Block skip rate: 0.035%, lower than the network average of 0.136%, approximately one-quarter of the network average.Coinbase stated that its validator nodes employ a multi-client architecture, currently running four clients, including Harmonic, Jito, JitoBAM, and Firedancer. All solutions have been reviewed by the Solana Foundation and do not employ aggressive MEV timing strategies that could impact user experience. In terms of infrastructure, Coinbase has deployed its validator nodes across two independent bare-metal service providers, with off-site backups configured for each node to mitigate single points of failure. Additionally, the company stated that it has migrated its entire validator cluster to the DoubleZero network, achieving approximately 99.9% session availability.Coinbase also revealed that it is preparing for Solana's Alpenglow consensus upgrade, expected to advance later in 2026, including running community test nodes, developing new consensus health monitoring tools, and completing related vote account upgrade verification.
Ground COO: DeFi is Losing Its Way, Yield Wars Overlook Users' Real Needs
Odaily News, Ground COO Stephanie Vaughan stated that the current DeFi industry is陷入 a "yield war," but market participants are more focused on securing distribution access to fintech platforms, overlooking the real problems users need to solve.She pointed out that Robinhood, Coinbase, Revolut, and Kraken are competing for user funds, while protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Ethena are competing to become the infrastructure for lending strategies. Vault service providers and risk management institutions are also competing around fintech platforms. However, this model does not establish DeFi's own user relationships—it merely fights for the opportunity to be selected by platforms.Stephanie believes that the current market is signaling that DeFi products have near-zero pricing power. Much of the yield comes from subsidies provided by platforms, Vault service providers, strategy providers, or underlying protocols, rather than genuine demand created by the products themselves. This is more like paying "shelf fees" than achieving true distribution capabilities.She further noted that some multi-strategy Vaults suffer from issues such as idle capital, deployment delays, and slow governance processes, resulting in a gap between the actual returns users receive and the advertised APY. In contrast, traditional financial products like money market funds can put capital to work immediately.Stephanie stated that with declining L2 costs and maturing cross-chain infrastructure, the chain itself is no longer a core competitive advantage. In the future, DeFi should build products closer to personal execution environments, driven by user needs. She believes the competitive focus should shift from shared Vaults to infrastructure like MPC wallets, allowing users to retain control over strategies while platforms handle execution and streamline processes.
