Numerous decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens, including Synthetix (SNX), Aave (AAVE), and THORchain (RUNE), are posting hefty gains today.
At the time of writing, SNX, the native token of the crypto stocks protocol Synthetix, is leading the charge. According to data from CoinGecko, SNX is trading at around $13.11, up 19.6% on the day.
Notably, Synthetix was also among the best-performing DeFi tokens last week.
It is followed by AAVE, the native token of the decentralized lending and borrowing platform Aave, which is currently seeing gains of around 8.6%, trading at roughly $317. In its turn, cross-chain crypto project THORChain saw the price of its RUNE token grow by around 6.3%, reaching roughly $6.6.
Many other DeFi tokens, including UMA (up 9.5%) and Harvest Finance’s FARM (up 15.4%), are also in the green zone today.
It’s impossible to navigate today’s crypto space without coming across decentralized applications, or dapps. Like regular apps, dapps have a broad range of use cases: there are financial services, decentralized file storage platforms, and even games. Unlike regular apps, decentralized apps—as the name suggests—are built atop the decentralized infrastructure of peer-to-peer networks such as blockchains. That means no one entity or person has control of a dapp. Instead, it’s secured by an infrast...
Meanwhile, there is currently just over $55 billion in value locked on DeFi platforms in total. Almost precisely half of it is concentrated in the top three protocols such as Aave ($10.85 billion), InstaDApp ($8.83 billion), and Curve Finance ($8.21 billion).
Bitcoin is trading at around $34,357, up about 1.1% on the day. Ethereum, the second-largest crypto, is showing nearly identical results—$2,146, up 1.3% over the past 24 hours.
Other popular digital assets, such as Binance Coin (up 4.5%), Cardano (up 1.6%), Ripple's XRP (up 4.3%), Dogecoin (up 2.5%), Polkadot (up 0.7%), and Uniswap (up 3.6%) are faring better on the daily chart—but just slightly.

Western Union has become the latest financial giant to signal interest in stablecoins, as competition heats up in the global remittance market and regulatory clarity improves. Speaking to Bloomberg on Tuesday, CEO Devin McGranahan said the firm saw three opportunities for stablecoin use around faster cross-border payments, better fiat conversion options in harder-to-reach markets, and offering a store-of-value product for customers in countries with weaker currencies. “We see stablecoins really...

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev conceded his company’s recent foray into offering tokenized stocks has been contentious, to say the least—but remained steadfast in his commitment to expanding the initiative. “Being the first to actually tokenize those great companies is a big milestone,” Tenev told Decrypt in an interview Friday. “Of course, every time you're the first to do something interesting, it has some element of controversy.” Earlier this month, Robinhood rolled out a giveaway of tokens, issued...
