In March 2026, Solana briefly surpassed Ethereum in the number of wallets holding tokenized real-world assets — a milestone the Solana Foundation announced publicly. The lead lasted hours. Ethereum holds roughly $15.4 billion in RWAs. Solana holds approximately $1.7 billion. The two chains are winning on different dimensions of the same race — and neither lead is as clean as the headline suggests.
AAVE at time of publication: ~$90 | -4% (24h) Chaos Labs served as Aave's primary risk service provider for three years. It turned down a $5 million budget offer and walked away — exposing a widening fracture inside one of DeFi's most important protocols. This is the third major contributor exit in recent months. The question now is who will manage Aave's V4 transition.
Three DeFi protocols paid out $96 million to holders in a single month. Hyperliquid led the group, and unlike most of its peers, every dollar of revenue went straight back to token holders.
The HyperUnit whale just moved $526 million in ETH to Binance. His portfolio went from $10 billion to $2 billion in less than a year. Arkham caught every step.

Nansen data shows Avalanche's daily transactions reached a yearly high of 3.5 million, with active addresses rising from a 2025 floor of 100K to a new baseline of 500K-700K. Three specific catalysts drove the jump. AVAX's price near $9.30 has not kept pace — but whale accumulation around $8.90-$9.30 suggests large holders see value at current levels.
A Times investigation found WLFI partnered with AB DAO without knowing the firm had recently promoted a resort project tied to Cambodia's Prince Group, designated a major transnational criminal network by U.S. authorities.

The ~$11 million conversion, executed in sub-$1 million tranches to minimize market impact, is the first TWAP sale since October 2025. It reflects a treasury strategy that increasingly relies on staking yield and targeted OTC deals rather than routine open-market ETH sales.
Eighteen months after the initial token sale raised at least $550 million, WLFI's early retail buyers are still largely locked out of their holdings. A phased unlock governance vote is now planned for next week — but it will not mean an immediate release.
