Aave DAO Launches Dedicated @ether_fi Market, Expanding DeFi Opportunities

The Aave DAO has just launched a dedicated @ether_fi market on its platform, allowing users to borrow stablecoins such as $USDC, $pyUSD, and $FRAX against their @ether_fi weETH liquid staking tokens.

GSR Markets Receives $10M In EDU Tokens: Potential Market Impact Raises Concerns

GSR Markets has recently been involved in a significant transaction, receiving 10 million EDU tokens—valued at approximately $5.33 million—from Open Campus’s multi-signature wallet just four hours ago. This transfer is part of a larger pattern, as the multi-signature wallet has sent a total of 28 million EDU tokens (worth about $22.33 million) to GSR over the past seven months. These tokens are typically transferred to exchanges in smaller batches over time, suggesting they may be gradually sold off. EDU Price Action To Monitor  This ongoing activity appears to be influencing the price of EDU tokens, which recently fell to $0.50.

In March 2020, the market value of stablecoins was a modest $5 billion. However, by April 2022, this figure had skyrocketed to an all-time high of $188 billion, driven by the last bull cycle.
