Decentralized finance (DeFi) can no longer rely on inflationary token incentives to sustain growth, according to Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Egorov said protocols must generate real revenue rather than depend on emissions to attract liquidity. “Your yield should come from revenues, not from tokens,” Egorov told Cointelegraph. “You need real revenues flowing.” He added that if a token “is not doing something, maybe it’s better for you to not do token at all.” Egorov contrasted the current environment with the “DeFi summer” of 2020, when triple-digit and even 1,000% annual percentage rates drew capital…

The U.S. Supreme Court has decided that President Donald Trump didn’t have the power to impose tariffs as he did. While the markets have taken the decision in stride, the impact on crypto is likely to be modest — at least for now — as there are political considerations that may influence the industry’s policy trajectory in Washington. Though Trump’s aggressive and sometimes turbulent pursuit of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act is halted, the president has a number of other options to replace them with tariffs available in other legal authorities governing U.S. trade. He said in…
