Lumen Loop's take

The Snapshot analyzes vault curators as a new DeFi category, with Steakhouse Financial managing $1.8B on Morpho through tailored strategies enabled by its modular design. Paxos has scaled its issued assets from $1B to $6.7B since January 2025, powering stablecoins like PYUSD and USDG via regulated infrastructure. Solana's stablecoin supply has diversified to 20% non-USDC/USDT, reducing risks and attracting new issuers. Ethereum L1 achieves record 12M weekly transactions with fees under $0.02 due to scaling upgrades like EIP-4844. New listings include Fathom's FXD stablecoin on XDC and Stellar-based sgBENJI/gBENJI from Franklin Templeton, plus 143 tokenized assets. Platform enhancements feature bulk actions and better search in Studio, alongside a partnership with Nansen for onchain data integration.
