Unitas Labs said it has launched an Equity Basis Trade strategy that targets funding-rate yield via a hedged setup using tokenized U.S. stock spot positions and perpetual contracts, with an initial $3–5 million allocation for risk-control validation. The project said it has received support from BNB Chain, a recommendation from Tether’s USDT0, and an RWA compliance partnership with a Hong Kong-listed company. It currently reports $58 million in TVL, while its $UP token has posted fresh highs and rising trading volume amid broader market weakness. Unitas positions itself as building a BNB Chain-native yield-bearing asset layer spanning U.S. dollars, gold (XGLD/XAUT) and U.S. equities.

Gate DEX will run a USDD dual-chain incentive campaign from May 31, 2026 to June 30, 2026, offering 30,000 USDD on BNB Chain and 20,000 USDD on Ethereum for a total reward pool of 50,000 USDD. During the same period, USDD Earn APY is listed at 8.21% on Ethereum and 7.68% on BNB Chain. The campaign is positioned as an effort to expand USDD cross-chain liquidity and reinforce its role as a multichain stablecoin infrastructure asset. The article also notes references to USDD, BNB Chain (linked to BNB) and the TRON ecosystem (linked to TRX), with TRX described as USDD’s underlying issuance chain and BNB as one of the incentive deployment chains.

Uniswap generated $53.01M in user fees over the past 30 days, according to DefiLlama data. The figure exceeds user-fee totals recorded over the same period by Aave, Lido Finance and Morpho. The activity took place on the Ethereum mainnet, underscoring Ethereum’s role in high-value DeFi settlement and security. UNI, the protocol’s governance and value-capture token, benefits from the growth in Uniswap’s fee generation.

An advisory article says roughly 181,000 ETH (about $450 million at current prices) is sitting in forgotten smart contracts, with balances not shown by major block explorers or wallet trackers. Users can check whether they control any related contract by entering an address on a designated website, without connecting a wallet. The funds are described as neither stolen nor frozen, but left unclaimed due to early interactions, mistaken actions, or contract design, and the piece frames the launch as an information-disclosure tool rather than anything involving exploits, attacks, or protocol changes.

A user on social media has publicly urged an ускорated buildout of an on-chain options market on Solana, arguing it should support request-for-quote (RFQ) trading and on-chain resting order liquidity. The appeal focuses on filling a key derivatives infrastructure gap in the Solana ecosystem. Main Solana options protocols such as Zeta and PsyOptions still rely largely on AMM or hybrid models, lacking a deep-liquidity layer driven by professional market makers. If implemented, the change could improve institutional access and hedging efficiency and bolster Solana’s competitiveness as a high-performance DeFi base layer.

Horizon has released V0.3, opening professional-grade tools—previously associated with high-cost quant teams—to retail traders. The update supports plain-English strategy input, one-click backtesting across BTC, ETH and SOL, and partial exits for scaling out. It also allows users to run strategies live via a direct connection to Hyperliquid, the highest-volume decentralized perpetuals exchange, which operates 24/7 without brokers or KYC. The release does not include a new token issuance or fundraising.

Steakhouse has added FLHYon from Ondo Finance as eligible collateral on Ethereum across its USDC, USDT and AUSD High Yield Vaults. The update makes it possible for users to post FLHYon as collateral to access stablecoin yield strategies. Steakhouse did not disclose TVL figures, incentive details or a rollout window. The move marks the first time an Ondo ecosystem token has been integrated into a mainstream yield aggregation protocol.

Over the past two weeks, nearly $1B has flowed back into deposits on the Aave protocol, including $600M in USDT, $200M in ETH, and $150M in BTC. The figures indicate on-chain users are significantly increasing collateralized lending and borrowing positions on Aave, concentrated in major stablecoins and blue-chip crypto assets. As a leading decentralized lending protocol, a short-term surge in Aave deposits is often seen as an early signal of a rebound in the DeFi credit cycle, closely tied to Ethereum ecosystem activity and demand for BTC as high-quality collateral.
