Ankr Forge targets the drop-off after Web3 campaigns

Web3 campaigns can attract a burst of activity, only for participation to fall away once allocations end. Ankr is addressing that drop-off with Forge, a model built around recurring partner campaigns and points weighted toward more involved onchain actions.

The setup keeps ANKR holders moving between partner ecosystems while helping projects distinguish repeat users from wallets that appear only for an allocation.

Morgan Stanley expands crypto lineup with Ether, Solana ETPs

Morgan Stanley has launched new exchange-traded products tracking Ether and Solana, expanding its crypto lineup beyond the Bitcoin fund introduced earlier this year. The Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust and Solana Trust each carry a 0.14% expense ratio and intend to stake a portion of holdings, passing staking rewards to investors without retaining any portion. This follows the firm’s recent addition of spot crypto trading on E*TRADE and its earlier spot Bitcoin ETF, which had over $381 million in assets as of July 16.

The real reason DeFi projects that survived 2022 crash are shutting down now

The 2022 bear market didn’t kill many DeFi projects, but 2026 is proving more lethal. Analysts say it’s not industry consolidation—in fact, concentration across protocols has fallen since 2024. Instead, more projects are competing for a smaller slice of a shifting pie. Examples include Zapper, Botanix, and Step Finance, all closing due to weak demand and activity clustering around a few dominant venues like Hyperliquid and big exchanges.

The key change is that investors and institutions now prioritize revenue generation over total value locked (TVL), favoring platforms with proven track records over flashy token incentives. Despite numerous shutdowns, the broader market remains healthy, with growing stablecoin supply and traditional finance moving toward DeFi. Emerging areas like tokenized assets, stablecoins, and agentic DeFi are attracting investment, while new protocols focus on distribution and institutional adoption rather than trying to build the next Uniswap.
