forklog.media CoinShares Observes the Fusion of TradFi and DeFi into Hybrid Finance

In 2026, the infrastructure of traditional finance and distributed ledgers began to form a unified system. This is according to a report by CoinShares, prepared in collaboration with Token Terminal. For the first time, we’re introducing a Hybrid Finance report in collaboration with @tokenterminal to map the shift happening across markets.From @ethereum to on-chain platforms like @HyperliquidX, @aave, @MakerDAO, and others. Trading, lending, and capital allocation are… pic.twitter.com/5887lRlKIp— CoinShares (@CoinSharesCo) April 23, 2026 "Public blockchains are settling institutional assets. Wall Street companies are issuing funds on Ethereum. Derivatives platforms have fully transitioned on-chain. Bitcoin has become a catalyst for convergence, proving that cryptocurrency can earn the trust of major players. Hybrid finance is the next step," analysts noted. According to their definition, hybrid finance is formed at the intersection of three components: Settlement infrastructure capable of servicing real economic activity. Tokenization of traditional assets such as treasury bonds, stocks, and commodities. On-chain applications with sustainable revenue. This year, the segment will fully transition from a noticeable trend to a measurable market structure, the report's authors believe. What the Numbers Show The largest sector of hybrid finance remains stablecoins. In the first quarter, their total supply reached $297.6 billion, increasing by 37.2% year-on-year. Market leaders remain USDT from Tether and USDC from Circle. Source: CoinShares. The volume of tokenized funds grew by 181% over 12 months — to $9 billion. A significant portion of the demand was for products backed by short-term US treasury bonds. The capitalization of digitized stocks increased from $27.6 million to $773.3 million, while commodities exceeded $4.9 billion. The total market value of RWA is estimated at approximately $29 billion. Revenue Distribution A separate conclusion by CoinShares concerns the distribution of revenue within the new market structure. The most earnings are not generated by base blockchains, but by applications and companies. In the first quarter, leading on-chain businesses generated $587.9 million in revenue. The majority came from a small group of trading platforms and stablecoin issuers, including Hyperliquid and Sky. Source: CoinShares. Issuers form the second level of monetization. For instance, Ethereum settles approximately $180 billion in stablecoins. With a yield of 4% on base assets, this could generate firms around $7 billion in annual revenue. The network itself only receives transaction fees. CoinShares described this as a structural gap between the economic value serviced by the blockchain and the revenue it actually receives. The Hyperliquid Case As an example of a hybrid model, analysts cited Hyperliquid. The platform combines its own L1 blockchain and perp-DEX. In the first quarter, the platform earned $178.7 million in revenue. About 96% of this amount was provided by trading activity, with the contribution of the base network being minimal. Source: CoinShares. According to CoinShares specialists, the Hyperliquid case shows that the main economic value in on-chain finance can concentrate at the application level. Unlike universal blockchains, which earn primarily from fees, a vertically integrated platform derives income directly from user activity. This model creates pressure on universal networks. If revenue continues to concentrate in applications, blockchains will need to find ways to move up the stack — through launching their own services or closer integration with key protocols. Formation of Market Structure The report's authors concluded that hybrid finance can already be assessed through specific segments: stablecoins, tokenized funds, stocks, commodities, on-chain businesses, and settlement networks. According to their description, the value distribution mechanism is as follows: assets attract liquidity, applications convert it into revenue, and blockchains monetize the associated transactional activity. The key question for the market remains which issuers, applications, and networks will be able to retain liquidity and user activity in the coming quarters. Earlier in April, analysts at Jefferies warned that recent DeFi hacks might temporarily slow the interest of traditional financial companies in adopting blockchain technologies.

forklog.media Bitcoin’s run to $79,000 driven by $1.1bn in short liquidations, says CryptoQuant

The latest surge in bitcoin to $79,000 was driven primarily by derivatives rather than spot demand, according to CryptoQuant contributor Carmelo Aleman. BTC’s Rally Was a Short Squeeze“As long as price depends more on derivatives than on solid spot validation, the structure will remain vulnerable to reversal.” – By @oro_crypto pic.twitter.com/apoXcTXIAQ— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 24, 2026 During the move, bitcoin rose from $76,351 to $79,447 (+4.05%). At the same time, open interest climbed from $24.88bn to roughly $28bn — a sign, he said, of rising leverage in futures. Short liquidations The upswing in bitcoin and the broader market triggered extensive covering of shorts. By Aleman’s estimate: liquidations of bitcoin shorts totalled about $607.9m; for Ethereum — roughly $580.9m. By comparison, long liquidations were far lower — about $111m in total. In the analyst’s view, that confirms the rise was driven by a short squeeze, not by durable spot demand. Aleman argues that such a set-up leaves the market vulnerable. “The price rose not because of dominant spot interest, but due to pressure in the derivatives market, which may indicate the fragility of the move,” his analysis suggests. As long as the rally is sustained only by futures, the risk of a correction persists, he concluded. Glassnode stressed that sentiment among large players in the derivatives market remains bullish. Whales on Hyperliquid have been longing the breakout of the range. Their conviction and long positioning have steadily increased over the past two months, signaling strong bullish sentiment among big perp players.📊https://t.co/G1mZrpr16c pic.twitter.com/uDuKtMFdWv— glassnode (@glassnode) April 24, 2026 "Whales on Hyperliquid have been betting on upside, anticipating a range breakout.

According to CoinGlass, over the last 24 days the asset has risen 14.3% — the strongest since November 2024.

In past cycles, such readings preceded gains: of roughly 120–135% after 12 months; of 400–800% after two years. Against this backdrop, the analyst again suggested reaching $100,000 in the third quarter of 2026 and setting a new all-time high in the following months. Key levels In the near term, van de Poppe thinks the advance could carry bitcoin to $86,000. In that case, altcoins could rise 30–40% from current levels. Upwards moves can last longer than you generally expect.#Bitcoin collapsed from $100K+ to $60K in less than 2 months.Currently, there's a slow grind higher after a V-shaped recovery in the Nasdaq.I think this leg has enough room to continue to $86K, and #Altcoins to run… pic.twitter.com/f420cj6WGJ— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) April 23, 2026 He cites $75,000 as key support. To maintain momentum, bitcoin needs to hold above that mark. Some traders view $80,000 as a critical level. A market participant known as Daan Crypto Trades stressed that bulls “need to push through it to turn this around in their favour on the higher timeframes”. $BTC Has been in an up trend during April.
