This article breaks down the design of the STBL project: through a mechanism that separates stablecoin functions from yield-bearing NFT rights (YLD), users can both hold stablecoins for payments, lending, and other uses, and obtain returns from real-world assets (such as government bonds or private credit) via NFTs. In this way, the project offers a new type of solution that is more transparent and provides more predictable yields compared to traditional stablecoins.

This report summarizes Web3 industry funding in August 2025. A total of 112 deals were completed, with total funding reaching $2.05 billion, marking a clear decline from previous periods. CeFi once again demonstrated strong capital absorption, infrastructure and mid-sized growth projects received steady support, while application-layer projects faced accelerated elimination.

The article provides a detailed analysis of several DeFi protocols, including Hyperliquid, Ethena, Maker, and Frax, showing how they leverage native stablecoins or innovative mechanisms to recycle revenues into buybacks, ecosystem funding, and user incentives.

The HYPE token of Hyperliquid has recently experienced a sharp decline, which is believed to be linked to the rise of emerging DEX tokens such as Aster. The article reveals that starting in November, approximately 237.8 million HYPE tokens will be unlocked, creating significant supply pressure, while the buyback program can only cover about 17%. Amid intensifying competition and shifting market sentiment, this could accelerate the token’s price correction.

A bold proposal from Jon and Hasu in the Hyperliquid community is generating significant discussion. The plan calls for burning roughly 45% of the total HYPE supply and reducing the FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) to align more closely with circulating market capitalization. It also proposes eliminating the predefined future allocation for “Community Rewards & Reserve Pool” to make the token more attractive to institutional investors.
