Ethereum treasuries seek yield beyond staking; Binance hot wallet breach; Aave adds collateral swaps
A Golem Foundation report shows 74% of tracked ETH treasuries are staked, with yields falling to 2.2% and larger holdings like Bitmine’s 5.2 M ETH seeking higher returns via lending, liquidity provision, first‑loss cover and covered calls. Binance disclosed a multi‑stage intrusion where an engineer downloaded malicious code, allowing attackers to access its hot‑wallet signing system and submit transactions before remediation. Aave V4 now supports collateral swaps on Ethereum, Base and Avalanche, letting Pro users exchange collateral without repaying loans, powered by CoWSwap. Additional items include Vitalik Buterin’s opening speech at Devcon 8, CFTC approval of equity perpetuals, and the Ethereum Foundation’s aid coordination network launch.
