Crypto majors fall as the U.S. strikes Iran, ending the ceasefire. Vanguard opens its doors. And a meme coin frenzy erupts on Robinhood chain.

The post Robinhood Earn + Morpho: Can 7% USDG Boost HOOD? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Robinhood just turned on its own blockchain and a new on-chain yield product, and the market noticed. The pitch is simple: park USDG, see roughly 7 percent APY, all without leaving the app. The question everyone is asking is less simple. Does this move the stock or just make good headlines? On July 1, Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain and introduced Robinhood Earn, a decentralized lending product with an estimated ~7 percent APY on USDG deposits according to company statements and reporting by CoinDesk. The engine under the hood is Morpho, a major DeFi lending protocol, with a curated vault designed by Steakhouse Financial, per Morpho’s announcement on launch day Morpho (official blog / press release). USDG, the stablecoin from Paxos’s Global Dollar Network, is now live on Robinhood Chain and set as the default asset for Earn flows, as the issuer confirmed in its own release Global Dollar Ne

The post Shiba Inu Burns 117 Million SHIB in Largest Single-Day Destruction in Six Months appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SHIB News Shiba Inu’s community permanently removed more than 117 million SHIB tokens from circulation on July 8, the largest single-day burn recorded in six months. On-chain data shows the tokens were routed to a dead wallet, a one-way address from which they can never be recovered. A single wallet tied to Robinhood led the activity, torching over 109 million SHIB in one transaction, with smaller wallets contributing the remainder through the session. The spike briefly revived the project’s deflationary narrative, yet it landed against a backdrop of broad altcoin fatigue. For holders of Shiba Inu, the burn underscored how community-driven supply cuts continue even when price momentum stalls. Despite the deflationary headline, SHIB has slipped close to 9% over the past month, holding a narrow trading band even after a modest weekly gain. Our reading of the tape
