Sushi to test Bitcoin swaps, Opyn DeFi protocol founders cave to CFTC pressure Finance Redefined

Welcome, welcome, my fellow crypto enthusiasts! It’s time for your weekly dose of Finance Redefined, the newsletter that brings you the most significant decentralized finance (DeFi) developments, peppered with a healthy dose of humor. So, buckle up, put on your investing hats, and let’s dive into this week’s mind-blowing insights!

Oops! Blame It on Web2!

Imagine this: half of the crypto lost to exploits is not because of smart contract flaws but because of traditional Web2 security issues. Yes, you heard it right. According to our crack team at Immunefi, leaked private keys and other infrastructure weaknesses are responsible for a whopping 46.48% of the crypto lost in 2022. It’s like leaving your luxury car unlocked with the keys inside, waiting for someone to drive away with it. Classic rookie mistake, my friends! But hey, at least now we know where the real culprits are hiding!

Sushi: Not Just a Culinary Delight, but also a Bitcoin Swapping Master!

Hold on to your sushi rolls because Sushi is about to serve us a piping-hot dish of DeFi greatness. In a jaw-dropping move, the decentralized exchange (DEX) platform Sushi has teamed up with the interoperability platform ZetaChain to test native Bitcoin swaps. Yes, you heard it right—Bitcoin swaps! It’s like the fusion cuisine of the crypto world, blending the savory taste of Bitcoin with the deliciousness of DeFi on not one, not two, but thirty booming blockchains. Who needs a Michelin-starred restaurant when you can dine in the world of decentralized finance?

Opyn Founders Exit Crypto Stage after CFTC Drama!

Lights, cameras, exit! Two notable founders of Opyn DeFi protocol have announced their grand exit from the crypto stage. Zubin Koticha and Alexis Gauba, known for their avant-garde approach to DeFi, have decided to leave the show following some heated action from the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It’s like the crypto version of a blockbuster movie with a dramatic plot twist. But fear not, my friends, for the show must go on without them. Who’s ready for the next thrilling chapter in the world of DeFi?

Layer-2 Networks Soar to $13 Billion TVL, But Challenges Abound!

Hold on tight, folks, because we’re about to take a quantum leap into the world of layer-2 networks. Brace yourselves for a mind-blowing fact: these networks have achieved a jaw-dropping $13 billion total value locked (TVL) within their contracts—talk about scaling up! But as our industry experts will tell you, not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Challenges, my friends, challenges still loom on the horizon. User experience and security are like the final bosses we must defeat to conquer this brave new DeFi world. But fear not, for as crypto warriors, we shall prevail!

DeFi Market: Where Green Is Not Just an Environmental Plea

Picture this: the DeFi market, like a lush green oasis, remained resilient amid the bullish market waves. According to the latest insights from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, most of the top 100 DeFi tokens saw green, green, and more green on the weekly charts. It’s like a vibrant garden of financial possibilities, where our investments can bloom and flourish. And you know what? The total value locked into DeFi protocols stands tall above $50 billion, a testament to our growing power in this evolving landscape.
