LendProtocol Launches Lending Platform on XRPL

LendProtocol, a centralized lending service, has launched a platform on the XRP Ledger for lending in XRP and RLUSD. Users can earn 12% APY with daily interest payments. To obtain a loan, borrowers must provide collateral worth 120% of the loan amount. The service is not an XRP staking platform, as the XRP Ledger itself does not use Proof-of-Stake or pay staking rewards. According to LendProtocol, over 743 million XRP has been loaned through the platform to date, with more than 13,700 active lenders. Borrowers pay an annual rate of 12.7%, with lenders receiving 12% and the remaining 0.7% covering the platform's operational costs. Accepted collateral includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, RLUSD, and USDT. LendProtocol states it assumes the credit risk in case of loan default and employs cold storage, data encryption, and two-factor authentication to protect funds.

Bitcoin tags $65K as S&P 500 rebounds from 2-week lows on US-Iran rhetoric

Bitcoin (BTC) reached $65,000 as US stocks, specifically the S&P 500, recovered from two-week lows. This occurred despite geopolitical tensions stemming from US-Iran rhetoric over the Strait of Hormuz. Key market movements included a surge in 30-year US Treasury bond yields to 5.34%, a 29-year high, indicating investor concerns over inflation and government borrowing. Oil prices remained relatively stable. For Bitcoin, analysts highlighted a critical juncture around a potential reverse head-and-shoulders bottoming pattern near $62,300, with failure risking a drop to $53,000 and success potentially targeting $76,000. The 50-month exponential moving average at approximately $65,827 was noted as a key resistance level.

Bitcoin Hits Six-Year Low Against Stocks. What This Means

Bitcoin has updated a six-year negative record relative to stocks, according to analytics platform Glassnode. Over the last three months, Bitcoin ($BTC) has outperformed the S&P 500 index on only about one-third of trading days, marking its lowest success rate (37.8%) in six years. This contrasts with 2023-early 2024 when it outperformed 50-60% of the time. For the year through August 18, Bitcoin has fallen nearly 27%, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ have risen 14% and 19%, respectively, and gold gained almost 2%. This underperformance level is comparable to early 2022, just before the start of a prolonged crypto bear market. While the 2026 downturn hasn't seen an event like the FTX collapse, experts note it is one of the toughest periods, with multiple exchanges closing and miners shifting to AI services. Longer-term, from 2021 onwards, Bitcoin's gain of about 120% is closer to traditional assets like gold and the NASDAQ (both up over 130%) and the S&P 500 (up ~105%). Analysts note Bitcoin's historical excess returns are diminishing, though it still shows strong growth rates overall. The current cycle since 2024 is seen as positive for institutional adoption due to Bitcoin ETF approvals and new US regulatory approaches.
