Forgotten Runiverse has shut down indefinitely on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, after the development team found live operations financially unsustainable. The game joins a growing list of Web3 casualties, following titles like Deadrop and Nyan Heroes that have struggled to maintain player numbers and funding post-launch. Player data and NFT assets will be preserved in storage, as the developers treat the closure as a “temporary rest” while they evaluate a potential future rebuild. Another blockchain game is going dark. This time, Forgotten Runiverse, a fantasy MMORPG built on Ronin, is taking its servers offline and pausing operations indefinitely, less than…
Aave now controls 51.5% of the DeFi lending market share, the first time any protocol has crossed the 50% threshold since 2020.The milestone arrives not through competitor collapse but through steady accumulation: Aave’s $33.37 billion in total value locked sits atop a $64.83 billion lending category that has consolidated around a single liquidity hub.The concentration raises a question DeFi has avoided for years: when one protocol becomes the ecosystem’s primary margin engine, does efficiency create fragility?The answer depends on the metric used.Aave’s total value locked (TVL) dominance reflects collateral custody, not credit exposure. DeFiLlama excludes borrowed funds from lending TVL…
Tether has launched USAT to formally enter the US market, introducing a dollar-backed stablecoin structured to comply with the GENIUS Act and federal banking requirements. USAT differs from USDT by design, with issuance through Anchorage Digital Bank and regulated reserve custody, allowing Tether to offer a compliant product to US users. The launch reflects a broader shift in perception of stablecoins, as banks and financial institutions increasingly adopt them as core financial infrastructure rather than experimental crypto assets. Tether has formally entered the US market with the launch of USAT, a dollar-backed stablecoin designed to operate under the country’s new…
South Dakota reintroduced a bill (HB 1155) that would authorise the State Investment Council to allocate up to 10% of its public portfolio into Bitcoin. The proposal focuses on security, requiring multi-party governance, hardware-secured private keys, and geographically diverse data centers for any state-held BTC. State-level momentum is growing as federal plans for a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” face legal delays. South Dakota lawmaker Logan Manhart has reintroduced a proposal that would let the state invest part of its public funds in Bitcoin (BTC). His new bill, HB 1155, filed this week, would authorise the State Investment Council to place up…
ASIC is set to establish a clearer regulatory perimeter this year in an effort to minimise risks around unlicensed crypto advice and misleading conduct. ASIC will be somewhat dependent on the passage of the Australian Government’s proposed digital assets framework, which would see digital asset firms become subject to regulation similar to that governing TradFi. Experts suggest legal and regulatory clarity is essential for the continued growth of the Australian digital assets industry. Rapid digital asset innovation that Australia is currently seeing “by or for people unfamiliar with financial services,” is creating a raft of risks, including unlicensed advice and…
Gold’s rapid rise is being linked to declining trust in fiat money and institutions, driven by debt, money printing, and geopolitical risk. Governments are increasingly seeking assets resistant to seizure or interference, reinforcing gold’s appeal. In that environment, crypto’s decentralised features are becoming more relevant, even as US regulatory uncertainty persists. Gold’s surge above US$5,000 (AU$7,250) per troy ounce is being interpreted as a warning sign about confidence in fiat currencies and institutional safeguards, according to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan. After rising 65% during 2025 and a further 16% in 2026, gold has added roughly half of its…
