Your top swaps last week on Uniswap Apps 🦄
1. AZTEC: Privacy-focused Ethereum layer 2
2. XAUT: Token pegged to the price of gold and issued by Tether
3. BANKR: An advanced AI agent focused on simplifying the process of buying and selling digital assets.
4. PAXG: Token pegged to the price of gold and issued by Paxos
5. CLAWNCH: Token launchpad for AI agents
These represent the top tokens swapped by volume on Uniswap Apps between 1/26 and 2/1, excluding ETH, WBTC, and stablecoins

Yep, they are alarmed. I've seen a lot of anti ETH "news" lately. Not holding any, but still.

Official BloFin Partner -- 5 automated bots running 24/7 on BTC, SOL, DOGE, ETH

I was more involved with ETH in 2017 and ironically this was exactly their rallying call at all times. "Bullish because xyz said they will use Ethereum smart contracts!"
BTC meanwhile: number go up down up down

ETH vs ETC already settled this debate. I get the sentiment, but IIMO the market already decided.

Depends.
What used to DeFi is now split to two: investable assets, non investable companies (basically FinTech companies with a worthless token )
There are really good FinTech companies. But you can’t invest in them. There is a token with the same name but it’s a shitcoin with no fundamentals that makes it more than a casino chip and value extraction mechanism (example: AAVE, Uniswap etc..).
The reality in crypto is that there are less than 5 crypto assets with a basic fundamentals that makes them investable:
- BTC
- ETH (because those that have money and matter build in this ecosystem)
- SOL (powers the SpamTech/ScamTech/CasinoTech industry)
- maybe XMR (illicit activities)
Basically that’s it

# Condition 0
* Yesterday was a turn around day that made new yearly lows first and then started to go up (covering)
* ETH made new highs but without much follow through
* We open near yesterdays rth high but in range
# Thoughts
* Higher prices should trigger more short covering
* If this does not happen and we spend more time in the lower third of the big balance area, this would be potentially bearish

Yesterday i invested £8,000 split amongst these top 3, i have £2,000 left in my ISA Allowance. what are your suggestions?

i recently bought BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP during the dip which would be my higher risk investments.

what would you add to this or would you just put the rest split amongst these? (excluding snap)

Crypto in February 2026 is not euphoric.
It is sharp. Selective. Efficient.
The weak leverage models were flushed out in the 2025 volatility cycles. What survived is capital that understands risk, funding structure, liquidation mechanics, and real yield.
This is not the era of number go up. This is the era of engineered leverage.
And the battle is happening across three ecosystems.

**TL;DR: Where Leverage Lives in 2026**
|Chain|Core Protocols|Style of Leverage|2026 Status Snapshot|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Ethereum|Aave V4, Morpho Blue, Spark|Institutional, modular lending depth|Aave \~30B+ TVL, dominant stable liquidity|
|Cosmos|Nolus Protocol|Fixed rate DeFi Margin, capital efficient |Active lease engine, real utilization growth|
|Solana |Kamino (K-Lend), Drift |High-velocity lending and cross-margin|Kamino \~3B+ TVL, fast liquidations post-Alpenglow|

Now let’s break down how the smart money is actually deploying leverage.
# Ethereum: The Institutional Giants
Ethereum remains the deepest liquidity base in DeFi. Not because it is flashy. Because it is reliable.
# Aave V4: The Liquidity Backbone
Aave sits above thirty billion in total value locked in early 2026. It remains the institutional venue of choice for stablecoin borrowing, ETH looping, and treasury-level leverage.
V4 tightened risk isolation. Liquidity segmentation and risk vault design made cascading liquidations far less chaotic compared to prior cycles.
Borrowing on Aave is predictable, liquid, and massive in scale. But it is still traditional overcollateralized lending.
You post collateral. You borrow below it. You manage health factor.
Efficient for size. Conservative in capital use.

Morpho Blue: Modular Capital Efficiency
Morpho Blue quietly became Ethereum’s capital efficiency lab.
Instead of pooling risk across giant markets, Morpho lets users create isolated lending pairs with tailored risk parameters. Capital matches peer to peer before hitting pooled liquidity.
For funds and structured desks, this modular design matters.
You define:
* Collateral
* Oracle
* Risk caps
That flexibility attracts capital that wants precision.

Spark and USDS: The Stable Engine
Spark, aligned with Sky’s USDS stablecoin ecosystem, continues to funnel deep stable liquidity into Ethereum margin flows.
USDS liquidity is feeding Aave and Morpho markets.
When stable borrow demand rises, Spark and Sky liquidity expands the credit base.
Ethereum in 2026 is not about experimentation. It is about size, trust, and scale.
But that scale comes at a cost. Overcollateralization remains heavy. And that is where the next frontier begins.
# Cosmos: The Efficiency Frontier
This is where things get interesting.
Cosmos never competed on being the biggest TVL chain. It competed on architecture.
And in 2026, leverage inside Cosmos looks different.

**Nolus Protocol: DeFi Margin, Not Just Borrowing**
While most lending markets revolve around overcollateralized pools, Nolus introduced a margin-native model directly on its own appchain.
Instead of borrowing stablecoins and manually executing swaps, Nolus allows users to open lease positions.
You supply collateral. The protocol borrows additional capital internally. The asset is purchased and held within the position.
Capital efficiency reaches up to three times exposure.
That means more productive leverage with less idle collateral. And the liquidation structure matters.
Nolus does not rely on simple full position wipeouts. Partial liquidation logic preserves user exposure during volatility spikes.
In 2026, that distinction matters.
During the late 2025 macro shock events, several high leverage environments experienced aggressive churn. Nolus showed more controlled deleveraging relative to active margin size.

Real Activity, Not Narrative
The Nolus stats dashboard in early 2026 shows:
* Consistent lease volume flowing through the engine
* Active margin users engaging daily
* Stable growth in open positions rather than speculative spikes
Within the Cosmos Hub ecosystem, Nolus stands out as one of the most actively utilized DeFi primitives.
Osmosis continues to anchor DEX liquidity. Secret Network drives privacy infrastructure. But for margin exposure inside Cosmos, Nolus is the engine actually being used.
This is not passive lending. It is structured leverage with fixed borrowing costs.
In a market where floating rates can spike during stress, fixed protocol rates change trader behavior. Risk becomes modelable.
And that is why Cosmos in 2026 feels like a hidden efficiency layer while attention stays elsewhere.
# Solana: High Velocity Trading
Solana’s 2026 story is speed.
The Alpenglow upgrade improved execution throughput and liquidation responsiveness. When volatility hits, positions close fast and efficiently.
That matters for high leverage environments.

Kamino Finance: The Lending Leader
Kamino’s K-Lend sits around three billion in total value locked. It dominates Solana lending markets.
Structured vault strategies, isolated risk parameters, and automated liquidity routing make it attractive for yield-seeking capital.
Kamino provides capital rails. But traders want more.

Drift Protocol: Cross-Margin Power
Drift remains the cross-margin powerhouse. Spot, perps, and borrowing live inside the same margin account.
For active traders, this is lethal.
Collateral can back multiple positions. Capital moves fluidly across markets.
Post-Alpenglow, liquidation execution tightened. Oracle refresh and matching latency improved. This reduced slippage during forced exits.
Solana in 2026 is built for speed traders. High turnover. High engagement. Aggressive exposure.

So Where Is the Smart Money Building?
Ethereum remains the base layer for institutional credit depth.
Solana captures high-frequency and cross-margin velocity.
Cosmos quietly optimizes capital efficiency through purpose-built appchains.
And inside Cosmos, Nolus represents a structural rethink of leverage design. Nolus is also bridging and tapping on Solana's liquidity via Solray, going live soonest.
Not simply borrow against collateral. Not simply trade perps. But structured DeFi Margin with fixed cost visibility and measured liquidation logic.
That combination becomes powerful in a resilient market environment.

The Margin Wars Are Structural
The 2026 margin landscape is no longer about which protocol offers the highest number.
It is about:
* Who controls liquidation behavior
* Who defines borrowing predictability
* Who maximizes capital efficiency without triggering fragility
Ethereum owns scale. Solana owns velocity. Cosmos is refining efficiency.
The smart money is not choosing one. It is allocating across all three.
Because the future of leverage is multi-chain, structured, and engineered.
And the war is just getting started.

Pump and Dump, Washtrading, you can Google the details. There is also inflation (although there is also pretty decent staking rewards). I think Solana can run the AI Internet and be the oil which greese the agentic AI wheels. (e.g. how do you decide on the cost model between all the AI agents) and its high speed, low costs is perfect for micro NFTs (e.g ticketing). However day in day out its all about grift, pump and dump. Its can be a 1K coin. And being corelated (at different times) to BTC and ETH is not helping. There isn't any coherent message on what Solana is suppsoed to be? Yes it can do 65M Transactions per second and Firedancer and other parallel validators can bring it to 1M per second. But so what? No one can sell Solana, every solution of Solana literally something which already exists and is not novel. Yes it can be done faster, yes its decentralized, yes there is very low gas fees. But what's new? People will remember it being meme, pump and dump and Trump coin is on it as the new way of grifting.
What is the Steve Jobs, "Its simple and works like magic" message? Having to maintain keys and wallets is not simple. And even if it works like magic is not more magic that things already on the market. (e.g. Revolut Payment). Its the same problem with Saylor struggles with, he can sent gadzillion dollars of BTC and it cost 44 cents, yes, but who would do that if the value is not stable?
So to the post - Fundamentals means nothing if the product can't sell itself so a Steve Jobs kind of genius sells it for you.

Recommended DEX for swapping between ETH to SOL ?

not just Sol it's every ETH is also seeing high onchain transaction but chart is also down, I feel we might just be at accumulation but that will come with more dips

I am definitely not going to risk my ETH on a brand new smart contract stack, no matter how well-vetted it is.
I will migrate in a year or two.

Overview & Support
Ether.fi is a well-known DeFi heavyweight specializing in liquid staking. Like Tuyo and Stables, it runs on the Bridge.xyz infrastructure. One thing that blew me away was their customer support: I contacted them on a weekend and got a clear, helpful response within 10 minutes. In the crypto world, that’s almost unheard of.
Privacy Note: Since Bridge does not currently hold a CASP license, Ether doesn't exchange information with tax authorities, and they don't hold separate banking licenses themselves.
Onboarding & Verification
The setup requires two separate verification steps:
Card Verification (via Sumsub): They accept a wide variety of international passports and Proof of Address (PoA) documents.
Account Verification (via Persona): This handles the account side, accepting international IDs and EU-based residency documents.
Accounts & Assets
Fiat Accounts: They offer USD and EUR accounts, but honestly, the fees make them less attractive (0.2% for USD; 0.2% + 0.5% exchange fee for EUR). If you just need a Bridge account for fiat, Tuyo is a better bet.
Networks: Currently supports Base, Ethereum, Scroll, and HyperEVM.
Yield & Credit: This is where it gets interesting. You get 4–5% on USDC liquid staking and can use that deposit as collateral to borrow funds, similar to how AAVE operates.
Swaps: USDT to USDC swaps are 1:1, consistent with other Bridge partners.
Travel Service: They have a built-in travel booking engine (similar to Coca). It’s worth checking out for potential discounts on hotels and flights.
The Card Features
The card is issued by Nimbus LLC (same as Tuyo), which means there is an Outer Index Fee (OIF) of roughly 1% for non-USD transactions.
Virtual & Physical: Virtual cards are free. Physical plastic requires a $40 deposit, which is refunded once you hit the "Luxe" loyalty level.
Base Currency: USDC.
ATMs: Withdraw up to $250/day without extra fees (standard OIF still applies).
Mobile Wallets: Works perfectly with Apple Pay and Google Pay, though it doesn't currently link with Curve.
The Killer Feature: There are no spending limits. If you have the balance, you can literally run a million-dollar transaction through the card.
Cashback Structure
Cashback is paid in WETH on the Scroll network (a very solid ETH wrapper). The 3% rate is standard, but the caps increase significantly with your loyalty tier:
Core: 3% on the first $2,000 / 1% on $2,000–$3,000 / 0.5% above that.
Luxe: 3% on the first $10,000 / 1% on $10,001–$20,000 / 0.5% above that.
Pinnacle: 3% on the first $50,000 / 1% on $50,001–$80,000 / 0.5% above that.
VIP: 4% on the first $50,000 / 2% on $50,001–$80,000 / 1% above that.
Final Verdict
I’ve definitely re-evaluated my stance—Ether.fi is a serious contender in the crypto-fintech space, especially if you handle large volumes.

BTC is still seen as speculative, while ETH, SOL, and stablecoins drive long-term trends. Privacy coins like Zcash stay relevant.
