TradFi Asset Migration On-Chain: From Traditional Financial Products to Crypto Trading Instruments

In the modern financial system, the relationship between assets, prices, and rights extends beyond simple trading activities.

As on-chain assets and derivatives expand, traders are shifting from single-market speculation to cross-market structural allocation. This course explores TradFi asset logic, financial engineering, on-chain asset models, and the evolution of trading strategies in an integrated financial landscape.

AAVE Tokenomics Explained: Core Use Cases and Value

AAVE is the native governance and utility token of Aave, the world's leading lending protocol, built on the Ethereum ERC-20 standard. As the core value of the ecosystem, AAVE's design transcends traditional incentive logic by directly anchoring token value to systemic risk through its unique Safety Module (SM). Token holders possess ultimate decision-making power over protocol upgrades, risk parameters, and reserve allocations; furthermore, they act as the final "firewall" through a risk-sharing mechanism should the protocol encounter a "Shortfall Event."

How Does Aave Work? The Operating Mechanics of a DeFi Lending Protocol

Aave operates through an “overcollateralization + liquidity pool” model. All transactions are executed automatically through on-chain smart contracts, interest rates adjust dynamically in real time, and risks are controlled through an automated liquidation mechanism. This architecture improves capital efficiency while reducing reliance on trust between participants.

Aave vs Compound: Comparing Two Leading DeFi Lending Protocols

Aave and Compound are decentralized liquidity protocols built on blockchain technology. They enable users to borrow assets through over-collateralization or earn interest by supplying liquidity.

Gate Research: Crypto ETF Inflows Continue to Rise | Prediction Market Trading Volume Surpasses $133.5 Billion

Gate Research Weekly Report: After a sharp sell-off, the market has entered a consolidation phase, with BTC and ETH still capped by key moving averages. Capital is rotating back into high-beta sectors such as AI, signaling a modest recovery in risk appetite. Ethereum’s staking ratio has surpassed 30%, reaching a new all-time high and pointing to ongoing supply contraction and a rebalancing of liquidity structures. Zerohash’s integration with Monad and USDC is advancing the deployment of stablecoin payment infrastructure at the L1 level. Tether’s U.S. Treasury holdings continue to expand, accelerating the integration of stablecoins into the short-term interest rate system. Overall crypto market capitalization continues to decline, indicating that the market remains in a near-term de-risking phase. Meanwhile, Anchorage has completed a strategic financing round of approximately $100 million, with participation from Tether.

Gate Research: BTC Yet to Decouple from SaaS Tech Stocks | Palantir Criticizes Anthropic’s Safety Restrictions

Gate Research Weekly Report: On Wednesday, Bitcoin surged more than 7%, breaking above the $70,000 level, while Ethereum rose 9% to surpass $2,100, pushing the total crypto market capitalization back above $2.5 trillion. Among altcoins, EDGE jumped 81% following its listing on a Korean exchange, while MANTRA surged 54% after the official announcement of its migration from the old OM token to the new MANTRA token. Meanwhile, tensions around AI military applications escalated as Palantir criticized Anthropic’s safety restrictions, while OpenAI’s annualized revenue exceeded $25 billion, marking a 230% year-over-year increase. Arthur Hayes also warned that the recent rebound may be a “dead cat bounce,” noting that BTC has not yet decoupled from SaaS tech companies.

Glossary

More
apr
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) represents the yearly yield or cost as a simple interest rate, excluding the effects of compounding interest. You will commonly see the APR label on exchange savings products, DeFi lending platforms, and staking pages. Understanding APR helps you estimate returns based on the number of days held, compare different products, and determine whether compound interest or lock-up rules apply.
fomo
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) refers to the psychological phenomenon where individuals, upon witnessing others profit or seeing a sudden surge in market trends, become anxious about being left behind and rush to participate. This behavior is common in crypto trading, Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs), NFT minting, and airdrop claims. FOMO can drive up trading volume and market volatility, while also amplifying the risk of losses. Understanding and managing FOMO is essential for beginners to avoid impulsive buying during price surges and panic selling during downturns.
nft
An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unique certificate recorded on the blockchain that represents ownership and attributes of a specific digital work or on-chain asset. NFTs are minted by smart contracts, which also store their metadata. Unlike fungible tokens, NFTs are indivisible and cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis. They are commonly used in digital art, in-game items, event tickets, and membership passes, enabling proof of ownership, provenance tracking, and trading. Some platforms also support creator royalties and cross-chain display of NFTs.
leverage
Leverage refers to the practice of using a small amount of personal capital as margin to amplify your available trading or investment funds. This allows you to take larger positions with limited initial capital. In the crypto market, leverage is commonly seen in perpetual contracts, leveraged tokens, and DeFi collateralized lending. It can enhance capital efficiency and improve hedging strategies, but also introduces risks such as forced liquidation, funding rates, and increased price volatility. Proper risk management and stop-loss mechanisms are essential when using leverage.
