Ethena’s yield markets on Solana reach $400M in 3 days, signaling institutional DeFi momentum with curated risk management.
Institutional finance is making a bold move into decentralized finance (DeFi), with the launch of a new curated yield product on Solana (SOL). Ethena, a stablecoin-focused issuer, seeded two isolated lending markets with $200 million each in USDG stablecoins on May 12. Within just 24 hours, one of the pools hit full utilization. Combined, the two markets now hold $397 million in USDe collateral, with Kamino becoming Solana’s fastest-ever market to cross $400 million in size. What’s significant here is who’s involved. Bitwise, an $11 billion asset manager known for its regulated crypto investment products, is curating one of the markets (Jupiter Lend). This marks the first time a traditional asset manager has tak

The post RedStone’s settlement layer is the first serious attempt to make tokenized RWAs real DeFi collateral appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
RedStone’s new “Settle” layer is the first sober attempt to fix DeFi’s RWA paradox. Summary RedStone Settle liquidates RWA‑backed loans via on‑chain auctions, letting LPs buy the position and assume slow 60–180 day redemption risk, so lending protocols keep atomic, instant liquidations. With around $30B of tokenized Treasuries, credit and funds sitting as “dead capital,” Settle standardizes liquidation and repricing so RWAs can back Aave‑style markets instead of being trapped in isolated wrappers. The trade‑off is structural: if Settle becomes the default, RedStone’s oracle and auction stack starts to look like a quasi‑central clearinghouse for RWA collateral inside an allegedly permissionless ecosystem. RedStone has launched “RedStone Settle,” a dedicated DeFi settlement layer built to make tokenized real‑world assets usable as collateral i
