DeFi has recorded 43 price-manipulation attacks in 2026 through October 21 (DefiLlama), above the previous full-year high of 27 in 2022. Losses are lower at $199M, and Tectonic alone accounts for $124.5M. Of the other 42 incidents, 32 were under $1M each. https://t.co/Vw8Ev1wZoK

USDC supply has stayed between roughly $70B and $80B for 12 months, far above MiCA’s €5B threshold. On Oct 14, the EBA named USDC the first significant e-money token among 45 notified EMTs. Direct EBA oversight of reserves and liquidity starts Nov 12. https://t.co/VSQyDzgJrU

USDT’s share of the stablecoin market has fallen from ~70% to ~61% over 24 months, while USDC’s has risen from about 20% to roughly 24%. https://t.co/QAJlKS3TbG

Atomic paths settled 89% of the $1.63B liquidated on Ethereum lending venues over the past year. Atomic liquidations depend on DEX liquidity. RWA collateral with thin pools and allowlisted transfers will push liquidations toward offchain market makers, RFQ and solvers. https://t.co/k5DKk5e4le

DeFi TVL fell $1.34B to $122.25B this week, and stablecoin supply fell $1.35B. The near-identical drop suggests capital is leaving onchain markets. Here are the weekly DeFi metrics: https://t.co/T1gksDglQY

Ethereum held 42.0% and Base held 22.5% of the $10.11B in tracked vault AUM in the week ending October 4 (Blockworks Intel). With deposits spread across chains, Chainlink’s CCIP Vault Adapters now route capital from 80+ networks to a vault on its home chain. https://t.co/HwjyllWXsT

We are live! Let's talk about why protection is the layer DeFi has yet to standardise, how cover pays out, and what it takes to put covered capital next to TVL. See you inside.

DeFi lenders hold $2.20B of RWA collateral across @Morpho, @kamino and @aave. Credit makes up 72% of it, split almost evenly between off-chain borrower credit ($799M) and crypto-linked credit ($778M). Tokenized Treasuries account for just $23M, about 1% of the total. https://t.co/bd1PXx3tyc

Borrowers have taken $1.66B against RWA collateral, almost all of it in dollar stablecoins. ✔️USDC leads at $560M (34%), followed by PYUSD at $380M (23%). ✔️RLUSD is 74% of borrowing on Aave Horizon, and USDG is 87% on Aave V4. https://t.co/lnyPHIuZv9
