DeFi news — DEXs, lending, liquid staking, and yield

Decentralized finance (DeFi) replaces banks, exchanges, and lenders with on-chain smart contracts. Our DeFi coverage tracks automated market makers and DEX volume (Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, PancakeSwap, Aerodrome), money markets and lending (Aave, Compound, Spark, Morpho), liquid staking and restaking (Lido, Rocket Pool, EigenLayer), stablecoin issuance and depeg events, total value locked (TVL) shifts, yield strategies, governance proposals, and the exploits, audits, and recovery efforts that define the security landscape. We follow major chains where DeFi is most active — Ethereum and its Layer 2s, Solana, Tron, BNB Chain, and the long tail of EVM-compatible networks.

About DeFi coverage on CoinArticle

Are exploits and hacks covered here?
Yes. DeFi-specific exploits — flash-loan attacks, oracle manipulation, governance takeovers, infinite-mint bugs — are covered in this section as well as the dedicated Security section. We summarize the root cause, attacker addresses where known, and the protocol's recovery response.
How often is this section updated?
Our pipeline runs every hour, so newly clustered stories typically appear within an hour of being published by the source outlets. We deduplicate, merge related coverage, and tag every article with categories, sentiment, and impact scores.
Where does the reporting come from?
Each article is an AI-merged synthesis of multiple primary sources — major crypto publications such as CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, The Block, Decrypt, Bitcoin Magazine, CryptoSlate, The Defiant, and Blockworks. Original-source URLs are listed at the bottom of every article so you can verify every claim against the primary reporting.
