mF-ONE TVL Surges 4x Since July

CIAN launches **FBTC Yield Layer** in partnership with FunctionBTC, allowing Bitcoin holders to earn yield while maintaining BTC exposure. The platform routes Bitcoin into diversified on-chain opportunities including: - Lending protocols - Restaking mechanisms - DeFi reward flows This solution addresses the common problem of Bitcoin sitting idle in cold storage by putting it to work across multiple yield-generating strategies.

**USDE strategies spotlight** reveals new yield opportunities through Pendle's Principal Token system. Key strategies include: - **PT-USDe on Plasma** (15JAN2026): 5.59% APY with 3.03% borrow cost - **PT-srUSDe on ETH** (15JAN2026): 7.91% APY with 6.99% USDC borrow cost These strategies use **borrow loops** to amplify returns through fixed APYs tied to specific maturity dates. The approach provides diversified yield farming options but comes with important considerations. **Key risks to consider:** - Early redemption can significantly reduce effective returns - Borrow costs must be factored into net gains - Maturity dates create time-locked commitments Most other stablecoin yield strategies showed only minor numerical adjustments this week, with TVL changes reflecting normal market flows. No major protocol additions or deletions occurred. *Always research thoroughly before investing - this is not financial advice.*

**Risk-tranching approach** transforms how tokenized real-world assets integrate with DeFi yield trading markets. Traditional RWAs face integration challenges: - Lack speculative incentives like governance tokens - Limited appeal for yield speculation - Constrained market liquidity **Sophisticated risk-tranching solution:** - Enables leveraged investors to absorb higher risk - Transfers excess yield potential at discount - Creates vibrant yield derivatives market - Amplifies RWAs' stable returns This structured finance framework serves dual purposes: - **Leveraged investors** get predictable yield spreads - **Speculators** pursue leveraged returns with small capital **Key benefits:** - Addresses DeFi liquidity constraints - Improves exit inefficiencies - Enhances RWAs' product-market fit - Bridges traditional and decentralized finance The mechanism aligns RWAs with DeFi's dynamic recursive staking strategies, creating new opportunities for both conservative and speculative investors.

The popular npm package **"error-ex"** with 47 million weekly downloads was compromised by attackers. The malicious code redirected MetaMask transactions to hacker-controlled addresses using visually similar addresses to deceive users during transaction signing. **Cian Platform Status:** - ✅ **All systems safe** - comprehensive audit of 5 frontend projects found zero compromised packages - ✅ **Extra precautions taken** - all package versions locked, updates paused until threat clears **Security Recommendations:** - **Hardware wallet users:** Enable clear signing, verify every address digit-by-digit - **Software wallet users:** Consider pausing on-chain transfers temporarily - **Developers:** Check dependency versions immediately, rollback or lock to safe versions Alephium also confirmed their wallets remain unaffected by the supply chain attack.
