Boosted rewards campaign for rsETH looping on Aave V3

Kelp's rsETH can now earn up to 9% rewards when looped with ETH on Aave V3's Core market using E-Mode.​ The campaign runs from April 3 through May 1.​

Key details:

  • E-Mode enables more capital-efficient rsETH <> ETH loops
  • Only supplies made after April 3 qualify for boosted rewards
  • Previous supplies before this date are not eligible

This follows similar reward campaigns on other networks, including a 7% wrsETH looping opportunity on Aave V3's Mantle market that recently concluded.​

KelpDAO Faces Technical Issues While Preparing KUSD Launch

KelpDAO Faces Technical Issues While Preparing KUSD Launch

KelpDAO is currently experiencing technical difficulties with its rewards system and fashion features. The team has acknowledged these issues and is working on fixes. Meanwhile, the protocol is preparing to launch **KUSD**, a new stablecoin product. No specific timeline has been provided for either the bug fixes or the KUSD release. Users should expect temporary disruptions to rewards distribution and fashion-related features until the issues are resolved.

KUSD Opens Access to $10 Trillion Trade Finance Market

**Trade finance**, a **$10 trillion market** that predates cryptocurrency, has proven resilient through recent economic crises. **KUSD** now provides direct access to this established sector. **Key Points:** - Trade finance operates independently of crypto market volatility - The market has maintained stability during turbulent periods - KUSD serves as an entry point for participants seeking exposure to traditional trade finance This development bridges traditional commerce infrastructure with digital assets, offering access to a market that processes trillions in global trade annually.

Regulators Demand Transparency as Stablecoin Oversight Tightens Globally

**Regulatory pressure intensified in 2026** as global institutions moved to control stablecoins: - World Economic Forum classified stablecoins as a **geopolitical concern** - EU proposed kill switch mechanisms for stablecoin operations - US enacted the **GENIUS Act** establishing formal oversight **Common thread**: All regulators demand full transparency into stablecoin backing and operations. This follows a turbulent year where geopolitical events exposed vulnerabilities in existing stablecoin models - from shipping disruptions to bond market crashes and sudden trading freezes in countries like Iran. KUSD positions itself as aligned with this regulatory direction, building compliance and transparency into its core design. The shift marks a transition from experimental crypto assets to regulated financial infrastructure, with frameworks like the GENIUS Act bringing stablecoins inside traditional financial systems under clear rules.
