Zug, Switzerland, May 29th, 2025, Chainwire

Web3 agent developer Giza today announced that Giza Agents, moving more than $40m of volume to date, are going institutional with one of the leading funds in DeFi, Re7 Capital. Re7 Capital is now trusting Giza to introduce financial autonomous agents for their liquidity, marking a pivotal moment for the technology. 

The core challenge for institutions has been to achieve high-performance treasury management without compromising control or security. Giza directly addresses this through its innovative agent infrastructure. 

Superior Performance and Yield Optimization Sophistication

Giza’s non-linear optimizer, which treats each protocol as a curve with unique liquidity, fee, and utilization dynamics, yields net uplift over naïve rate-chasing strategies when replayed against historical market data. 

This advanced system considers the full lifecycle of a position, modeling gas costs, slippage, and reward lock-ups. Consequently, the Agent rebalances only when the anticipated improvement decisively outweighs its opportunity cost, protecting treasuries from “busy-work” transactions that erode returns. This approach goes beyond simple APR comparisons, incorporating modern portfolio theory for efficient frontier allocations and yield component decomposition.

“Until now, institutions had to choose between iron-clad control and top-tier performance. Giza Agents eliminate that trade-off; capital runs autonomously, relentlessly productive, policy-locked, and cryptographically secure. Re7’s deployment marks the moment self-driving finance goes institutional,” said Renç Korzay, CEO of Giza.

Uncompromised Custody and Granular Control

At the heart of Giza’s design is modular smart accounts deployed and owned by the treasury itself. These contracts can execute transactions independently but only when calls carry a valid, time-bound session key described in clear EIP-712 language. This key precisely defines permitted addresses, value limits, authorized functions, and an expiry date, ensuring the Agent’s operational scope is exact and monitorable. Administrators retain the power to revoke this freedom with a single on-chain action. This means routine tasks like claiming rewards or rotating collateral occur seamlessly without requiring fresh signatures, while any request outside the authorized parameters is automatically rejected at the contract gate.

Personalized and Sophisticated Risk Management

Giza offers a level of customized risk management previously unattainable in DeFi. Every proposed allocation undergoes rigorous pre-flight health checks, scoring protocol liquidity, utilization, and volatility. Only if these scores fall within the policy-encoded thresholds does the transaction proceed. Live positions benefit from constant surveillance; if, for example, total value locked (TVL) in a lending market suddenly evaporates or governance parameters shift unexpectedly, an emergency routine triggers an exit using a pre-signed and gas-capped path established during onboarding. Institutions can configure risk parameters, TVL thresholds, slippage tolerances, utilization boundaries, and protocol inclusion/exclusion, ensuring the Agent operates precisely within their defined risk appetite.

Comprehensive and Transparent Reporting

All decisions and the session-key signatures that enable them are meticulously posted on-chain. This provides auditors with an immutable trail without necessitating a separate verification layer. Giza offers dedicated infrastructure with custom reporting, automated exports to internal systems, and custom API endpoints for proprietary dashboards, ensuring institutions have complete visibility and audit-ready records.

Re7 Labs x Giza: Pioneering Autonomous Finance

Giza is developing a dedicated Agent suite for Re7’s broader ecosystem. Back-tests over the past four months show the tailored Agents delivering 67% higher yield on stables and 18.5% higher yield on ETH versus static allocation strategies. This was accomplished by strategically sweeping liquidity across vaults only when the optimizer’s signal surpassed the transaction-cost hurdle. The smart-account template, monitoring stack, and session-key framework are designed for reuse, meaning each subsequent Agent, such as Re7’s USDC and wETH variants currently in testing, requires significantly less engineering effort than the last.

While the development is underway, Re7 will be moving $500,000 USDC into ARMA, Giza’s flagship Agent, and begin compounding yield immediately, without writing a single line of bespoke code.

About Giza

Giza is the engine behind self-driving capital. Autonomous agents that navigate DeFi’s complexity in real time, steering liquidity to the best risk-adjusted returns while assets remain fully under the owner’s control.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 23rd, 2025, Chainwire

Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, today shared insights from its Head of Derivatives, Shunyet Jan, following Bitcoin’s surge to a new all-time high. Shunyet attributes the historic rally to a powerful alignment of market catalysts and macroeconomic shifts, and projects continued upside if current conditions hold.

“Bitcoin’s climb to this all-time high underscores a transformative moment in the evolution of global finance,” said Shunyet. “We’re seeing a unique convergence of factors—regulatory clarity, institutional inflows, and macroeconomic shifts—that are accelerating mainstream adoption.”

Shunyet identifies three core drivers behind Bitcoin’s rally:

Regulatory Clarity on Stablecoins:

“The emergence of comprehensive legislation—such as the GENIUS Act—is establishing clearer guardrails for stablecoins. This fosters greater institutional confidence and reinforces the foundational infrastructure needed for broader crypto adoption.”

Sustained Spot ETF Inflows:

“Robust and consistent capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs signal that institutional investors are embracing Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. These vehicles offer regulated access points, unlocking new sources of liquidity and long-term demand.”

Weaker US Dollar and Inverse Correlation:

“Bitcoin’s global nature makes it particularly responsive to macro trends. With the US dollar weakening, Bitcoin has benefited as an alternative store of value, further cementing its role as digital gold.”

While Bitcoin leads the current rally, Shunyet notes a measured outlook for the broader crypto market: “Ethereum and other large-cap digital assets are likely to benefit from Bitcoin’s momentum,” Shunyet added. “However, high interest rates and lingering macroeconomic uncertainty may limit upside potential for smaller altcoins in the near term.”

Looking ahead, Shunyet offered a bold projection:

“If current trends continue, our analysis suggests Bitcoin could reach $125,000 by the end of Q2. We remain bullish on Bitcoin’s role in shaping the future of finance.”

Bybit continues to provide a trusted, high-performance platform for both retail and institutional participants, enabling access to cutting-edge trading tools and a deep, liquid market.

LONDON, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, OnRe, the leading regulated on-chain reinsurance company, launches its ONe token. ONe is an accumulating token for LPs, currently offering projected returns of up to 40.35% consisting of reinsurance performance, collateral yield, and token incentives. OnRe unlocks previously inaccessible yield from the $750 billion global reinsurance market, and combines it with the digital asset market’s unique return attributes, resulting in a stable and scalable product.

Through its partnership with Ethena, OnRe allows users to deposit sUSDe into a reinsurance pool on Solana. Deposited sUSDe flows into a balanced reinsurance portfolio, carefully underwritten by OnRe’s underwriting and actuarial experts, then allocated across diversified insurance lines to generate uncorrelated yields. This enables on-chain capital markets to utilize this real-world asset class as liquid collateral across the ecosystem.

“OnRe provides the perfect real-world use case for sUSDe, allowing over $6bn in stable capital to earn additional, meaningful yield by deploying into one of the world’s most established financial systems. This partnership sets the stage for a new era of capital efficiency, transforming deposits into productive, yield-generating assets while opening a market that has long been out of reach for most investors.” — Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs.

OnRe’s blockchain-native structured product unlocks capabilities unreplicable in traditional finance, including upside participation through on-chain funding rates and integrations with other DeFi protocols to enhance capital efficiency.

In bearish markets, OnRe delivers consistent, stable yield through reinsurance exposure, independent of crypto and equity downturns. In bullish conditions, elevated on-chain funding rates and token incentives from sUSDe and the $ONRE protocol token offer meaningful upside potential.

ONe is directly tied to a regulated, revenue-generating business, setting it apart from DeFi tokens that rely on emissions or abstract governance mandates. Its value is linked to TVL, backed by real-world underwriting, and aligned with long-term platform growth. The project’s revenue dynamics are appealing, with the ability to generate the same income from $10M in TVL as a $500M money market fund.

Rising on-chain capital flows, driven by stablecoin adoption and investor demand for lower-volatility yield, make for ideal launch timing. With support from RockawayX, a seed investor in Solana and backer of 15+ of the ecosystem’s leading projects, and the Solana Foundation, OnRe’s integration roadmap will offer pool investors the potential for additional returns through DeFi composability, such as the ability to use the pool deposit receipt as borrow collateral on lending platforms.

“We pursue DeFi products that offer a substantially superior risk and return profile or user experience to traditional alternatives, and OnRe definitely fits the bill, with predictable returns in bearish environments, and meaningful upside in bullish times. Active participants will leverage OnRe’s integrations across Solana DeFi, with projects like Kamino, Exponent, and Fragmetric, making reinsurance a key on-chain portfolio building block. Better yet, the reinsurance industry is sorely in need of a digital lift, and we see OnRe accelerating a leapfrog step forward.” — Samantha Bohbot, Partner & Chief Growth Officer of RockawayX.

“Innovation doesn’t happen overnight or in isolation. The launch of OnRe is the result of powerful partnerships and scalable technology, creating something genuinely new in digital assets and insurance. It’s a model that’s rigorously tested, securely designed, and fully compliant. I’m excited to see ONe scale as a reliable collateral asset year-round, giving digital asset markets access to the strong, stable returns of insurance — one of the world’s largest and most profitable industries.” — Dan Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO of OnRe.

Backed by deep expertise and full regulatory approval, OnRe sets a new benchmark for allocators seeking reliable, cycle-resilient returns. Visit onre.finance for early investor incentives and and sign up to secure first access to upcoming rewards.

About OnRe
OnRe bridges the reliability of the $750bn global reinsurance market with the transformative power of blockchain. Licensed to deploy digital assets as insurance collateral, OnRe provides a new class of investors with direct access to consistent real-world yield through structured products designed to generate returns in both bull and bear markets — creating a return profile not replicable in traditional finance. With a focus on transparency, scalability, and capital efficiency, OnRe is transforming how capital is deployed, bringing opportunity to a system that has historically been out of reach.

Falcon Finance, a next-generation synthetic dollar protocol backed by DWF Labs, announced it has surpassed $350 million in circulating supply of its overcollateralized digital asset, USDf. This milestone underscores the protocol’s rapid ascent within two weeks from public launch as a credible, transparent, and scalable solution for on-chain dollar demand. 

The announcement follows a strong wave of adoption since Falcon’s public launch, building on momentum two weeks from a successful closed beta that accumulated over $200 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). USDf is now actively minted, staked, and traded across Ethereum, with liquidity available on leading decentralized exchanges including Uniswap, Curve, and Balancer, as well as centralized platforms such as Bitfinex.

“This achievement reflects both user confidence and market demand for secure, yield-generating digital dollars,” said Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner at Falcon Finance. “In surpassing $350 million, Falcon reinforces its role as a core building block for the future of programmable finance.”

The growth in USDf circulation also comes shortly after the launch of Falcon’s transparency page, which offers users full visibility into the protocol’s collateral composition, reserve distribution, and third-party audit data. This includes breakdowns of reserves held with institutional-grade custodians through Fireblocks and Ceffu, mirrored trading positions on centralized exchanges, and on-chain deployment across staking and liquidity protocols.

Falcon Finance’s design emphasizes asset safety and operational transparency, with the majority of reserves secured in MPC-based wallets and subject to quarterly third-party attestations. The protocol’s first audit reports from Zellic and Pashov Audit Group were first released in Q1 2025, with additional reports scheduled on a rolling basis.

USDf can be minted using a wide range of collateral, including USDT, USDC, ETH, BTC, SOL, TON, NEAR, and other supported tokens. Staked USDf is converted into sUSDf, a yield-bearing asset that offers users approximately 15 percent APY, with the potential for enhanced returns through Falcon’s Boosted Yield NFTs.

As part of its long-term user growth strategy, Falcon also launched Falcon Miles, an ecosystem-wide points program that rewards user activity across minting, staking, and asset holding. The program is set to expand to additional on-chain integrations, including lending markets and tokenized yield protocols, as the Falcon ecosystem continues to evolve.

With cross-chain deployments and new collateral integrations underway, Falcon Finance is advancing toward its mission of building a robust foundation for synthetic digital dollars.

Microsoft-backed Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data.

Space and Time, the Microsoft-backed blockchain for zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data, is live on its public, permissionless mainnet. 

Space and Time is designed to deliver ZK-proven data to smart contracts to power a new generation of data-driven crypto applications. It indexes data from other major blockchains, including Ethereum, and stores it across a decentralized network of database validators. Developers can access, query ZK-prove and connect this data back to their smart contract using Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s sub-second ZK coprocessor for SQL database queries. 

“Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no way to query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity without introducing security risks and tampering. In addition, enterprises had no way to securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts. Today we’re thrilled to announce the mainnet launch of Space and Time, which will empower developers to build sophisticated, data-driven onchain applications secured by cryptographic proofs,” said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 at Space and Time. 

Smart contracts today can’t natively access historical, cross-chain or offchain data, which limits the complexity of onchain apps. The next wave of onchain innovation—spanning everything from dynamic financial instruments to data-rich AI agents and tokenized real-world systems—will require a trustless database layer for complex data retrieval. Space and Time enables this with a verifiable, decentralized database network that gives smart contracts the ability to query the full history of Ethereum and beyond.

Space and Time was created by MakeInfinite Labs, a frontier protocol research lab that is backed by Microsoft and working alongside major financial institutions. In addition to its work on Space and Time, the firm has developed key technologies to the broader crypto ecosystem, such as Proof of SQL, Blitzar, an Elastic Network ZK Chain for Space and Time, and Chainlink DeFi Yield Index.

“At MakeInfinite Labs, we’re focused on building foundational infrastructure to enable the next generation of crypto applications. Contributing core technologies like Proof of SQL and the original architecture of Space and Time is part of that vision. We’re excited to see the ecosystem take this work forward and unlock new possibilities for verifiable, data-driven applications,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs & Co-Founder of Space and Time.

Space and Time is secured by a decentralized set of validators, and anyone can contribute to the network by providing high-quality datasets, staking or running a validator node. 

About Space and Time

Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data, which enables smart contracts to trustlessly access and compute over data from any chain or source. Powered by Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK coprocessor, Space and Time empowers developers to build more intelligent, data-rich applications with verifiable data.

Khabib joins fireside session as a special guest as ION outlines the path to bring the Internet onchain

Ice Open Network (ION), the high-performance, privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain, made a high-impact statement at TOKEN2049 Dubai with a standing-room-only fireside chat titled “The New Online Is On-Chain.” Hosted by ION Chairman Mike Costache and Founder & CEO Alexandru Iulian Florea, the session presented a bold, user-first roadmap for moving digital life on-chain — starting with social.

UFC Hall of Famer and ION global ambassador Khabib Nurmagomedov joined as a special guest in the audience, underscoring the network’s growing cultural reach.

From infrastructure to interaction

The 15-minute session explored how ION is building the foundational infrastructure for an Internet that works the way it should have all along — sovereign, seamless, and scalable. “We’re not fixing what’s broken,” said Florea. “We’re building what should’ve existed in the first place.”

He explained that ION is not just another chain or social platform, but a complete framework for digital sovereignty — modular, infinitely scalable, and designed to work invisibly under the hood of real apps people already use.

Online+ — ION’s decentralized social layer — was highlighted as the first major dApp powered by the ION Framework. Florea also previewed the upcoming dApp Builder, a no-code tool that allows anyone — from creators to communities to small businesses — to launch fully decentralized apps in minutes.

“This year is about putting tools in people’s hands,” Florea said. “And if we do that right, the next billion users won’t even know they’re on-chain — they’ll just know the Internet finally works for them.”

Discipline over hype

Special guest Khabib Nurmagomedov was acknowledged during the talk as a symbol of ION’s core values: discipline, clarity, and commitment over flash.

“I came here because this project aligns with how I see the world — with discipline, focus, and doing things the right way,” said Nurmagomedov.

Florea added: “Khabib doesn’t show up for hype. He shows up for principle. And that’s how we’re building ION — quietly, relentlessly, and with no shortcuts.”

Looking ahead

The fireside chat marked a key milestone in ION’s public rollout as it moves into an execution-heavy 2025. With the Online+ launch nearing and the dApp Builder on track for release later this year, ION continues its mission to deliver an Internet that prioritizes ownership, privacy, and usability at the global scale.

About Ice Open Network (ION):

Ice Open Network (ION) is the blueprint for a new Internet rooted in privacy, data ownership, and user autonomy. Powered by a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain and an unwavering commitment to digital sovereignty, it is designed to give decentralized applications (dApps) real-world, human-centric utility at unprecedented breadth and scale.

Founded in 2022, the ION blockchain currently serves a dApp ecosystem of over 40 million users. It is engineered to process millions of transactions per second and scale horizontally and infinitely as its network participants increase. Combining this unparalleled efficiency with a comprehensive dApp toolkit purpose-built for intuitive, privacy-preserving user experiences, ION is on a mission to onboard the world to a new, decentralized Internet.
