Liquidity mining is a potentially lucrative way to earn income in the DeFi market, but it also comes with a lot of risks.
Liquidity mining is one of the most popular income-generating opportunities in the global DeFi market, allowing you to earn above-average returns by depositing cryptocurrencies in a liquidity mining protocol.
What is liquidity mining?
Liquidity mining refers to depositing tokens into a DeFi protocol’s liquidity pool to earn rewards, usually paid in the form of the protocol’s governance token.
There are many ways to farm yield, but the most common involves depositing crypto assets into a decentralized lending or trading pool to provide liquidity. In exchange for providing liquidity to these platforms, Liquidity Providers (LPs) receive a certain annual yield (APY), which is typically paid out in real time.

The three Democratic House lawmakers warned that if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission leaves the case against the founder of Tron unresolved, it could "undermine investor confidence in financial regulators."

The three Democratic House lawmakers are pressuring SEC Chairman Paul Atkins to provide information regarding the agency's closure of investigations, dismissal of enforcement actions, or the postponement of "at least a dozen crypto-related cases" by extending the pause, including the case of Tron founder Justin Sun.
In a letter to Atkins on Thursday, Representatives Maxine Waters, Brad Sherman, and Sean Casten questioned the SEC's "priorities and effectiveness" after it dismissed these crypto-related cases. The lawmakers pointed out that the agency has "publicly and boldly dismissed the majority of crypto enforcement cases," including those involving cryptocurrency exchanges Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.

About $2.5 billion will be released at once through cliff unlocks, while the remaining $3 billion will be gradually released through linear unlocks, making the increase in supply less abrupt.

#HAPPYSCI
Regarding the Happy-Sci project, current public information indicates that it is a charitable donation activity based on the BNB Chain, primarily targeting PhD students globally.

1. Project Vision: To restore calm and inspiration to scientific research
In research laboratories and libraries around the world, countless doctoral researchers are facing a common challenge: the pressure of research funding, the setbacks of experimental failures, the competition of publishing papers... These real pressures often erode the most precious resources of scientific exploration—inner peace and creativity.
The Happy-Sci project was born from a simple yet profound idea: what kind of innovative sparks could be ignited if we could provide small but direct financial support to PhD students worldwide, allowing them to temporarily escape economic pressure and focus on scientific exploration itself?

#Woody协议

Woody Protocol: The first RWA digital asset platform launched in Hong Kong, linking quality assets in the Greater Bay Area with a low threshold.
As the integration of the digital economy and the real economy enters the 'deep water zone', focusing on innovative models for the digitalization of real-world assets (RWA) is becoming a new engine for the industry. Recently, Woody Protocol, based in Hong Kong, officially launched its ecological layout as a digital protocol platform focused on the tokenization of RWA assets. With its three-dimensional core advantages of 'real-world anchoring + compliance architecture + technological empowerment', it not only fills the gap in low-threshold channels for the global allocation of quality assets in the Greater Bay Area but has also become a benchmark project in the current RWA track, combining a secure foundation with growth potential.

In the world of encryption, there is a type of content that almost requires no groundwork; as soon as the title appears, the spread has already begun. '18 years old', '50 dollars', 'million-dollar returns', these keywords are not complicated, yet they form a highly stable traffic formula: extremely low starting point + extreme results + strong implication of replicability. It does not need to explain the market environment, nor does it need to discuss cycles; it simply locks attention on one question at the first moment.

The real destructive power of this type of narrative lies not in whether it is true, but in how it redefines the 'reasons for failure'. When success is interpreted as 'seeing early' and 'following correctly', rather than 'having greater ability', readers are more likely to accept it and to identify with it. Anxiety is transformed into hope, and doubt is transformed into an impulse to act, which is exactly the state that traffic loves most.

#2026年美联储降息预期
If the Federal Reserve continues to cut interest rates in 2026, investors will be more interested in cryptocurrencies.

A crypto analyst stated that the aggressiveness of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts in 2026 will determine whether retail investors return to the crypto market next year.
However, after the Federal Reserve implemented three interest rate cuts in 2025, the market is questioning whether it will continue to cut rates.
Owen Lau, Managing Director at Clear Street, said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday that the Fed's interest rate decisions are "one of the key catalysts for the crypto space in 2026."
