Yield farming lets crypto holders earn returns by supplying assets to DeFi protocols for lending, trading, and staking.
In 2026, yield-generating activities account for roughly 36.5% of all DeFi revenue, with stablecoin strategies on Aave and Curve paying 3-5% and more active approaches on Pendle and Uniswap V3 reaching 8-25%.
Our latest research covers how yield farming works, where returns actually come from, and the key risks including impermanent loss, smart contract exploits, and rug pulls that claimed $2.8B in 2025 alone.
Stablecoins have quietly become the backbone of crypto markets, powering over $300 billion in circulating value and trillions in annual transfer volume.
They provide the base liquidity layer for trading pairs, allow traders to manage risk and move capital between venues in seconds, and now operate under the first US federal framework through the GENIUS Act, with implementing rules set for July 2026.
$USDT leads globally at $187B in circulation while $USDC positions for regulatory compliance at $77B. As the competitive landscape shifts, understanding the mechanics and risks of stablecoins is essential for any serious market participant.

The total crypto market cap reached $2.51 trillion this week, up 1.72% over the past 24 hours as risk appetite returns across the board.
$ETH led the weekly movers at $2,126, posting a 2.12% gain. BNB followed at $659 with a 1.58% advance, while $SOL climbed back above $90 for the first time since late February, up 1.00%. $BTC held steady at $71,481 with a modest 0.35% weekly move, and $XRP remained flat at $1.41.
$BTC dominance eased slightly to 56.9% as capital rotated into altcoins, with ETH dominance ticking up to 10.2%. A week of quiet, broad-based gains suggests the market is building a base rather than simply bouncing.
Rootstone's Maket Overview
Crypto markets extended sharp losses this week, with #Bitcoin plunging to around $60K as investors rotated into safe-haven assets like gold (now near $4,840–$4,900/oz after recent peaks above $5,300).
Total market cap fell to ~$2.27T, with volumes spiking on panic selling. Sentiment has shifted to extreme fear (Index low 20s), fueled by macro caution, tariff/geopolitical headlines, and tech/AI sector weakness spilling over.
2025 was not defined by a single narrative. It was neither a sustained bull market nor a prolonged bear market. Instead, it was a year marked by hesitation, recalibration, and gradual structural change.
Prices moved, but inconsistently. Volatility appeared, but without follow-through. Participation expanded in some areas while retreating in others.
What made 2025 distinct was not where prices ended the year, but how markets behaved throughout it.
Decentralized Finance (#DeFi) has matured into a multibillion-dollar ecosystem reshaping how markets perceive financial infrastructure.
What began as experimental lending pools and automated exchanges is now attracting institutions, regulators, and innovators.
But how big is DeFi today, and how does it compare to traditional finance?

#Bitcoin has once again proven its resilience and appeal to investors worldwide. On July 14, 2025, Bitcoin surged to a staggering all-time high (ATH) of $122,838, marking a monumental milestone in its 16-year history.
This breakthrough comes amid a flurry of positive developments in the U.S. regulatory landscape and massive institutional inflows, pushing the digital asset beyond previous peaks set earlier this year.
As of July 16, 2025, Bitcoin is trading at around $117,345, reflecting a slight pullback of 0.50% in the last 24 hours but an impressive 7.90% gain over the past week.
Let’s dive into what drove this rally, its implications, and what might lie ahead for the king of crypto.

What is Market Making?
Market making is providing liquidity to a financial market by continuously quoting buy (bid) and sell (ask) prices for an asset.
Market makers are entities, often firms, institutions, or automated systems, that stand ready to buy or sell cryptocurrencies anytime, ensuring that traders can execute orders without significant delays or price slippage.
