PANews reported on February 19th that, according to The Block, Coinbase announced that its on-chain lending product via the Morpho protocol now supports XRP, Dogecoin, Cardano, and Litecoin as collateral. Eligible users in the US, excluding New York State, can borrow up to $100,000 USDC by pledging these four assets without selling their holdings. Coinbase's product manager, Jacob Frantz, stated that this move aims to allow users to utilize their crypto assets without selling them, and that more tokenized assets will be supported in the future. Launched last year, the on-chain lending product previously supported BTC and ETH, with a BTC collateral borrowing limit of $5 million USDC and an ETH collateral borrowing limit of $1 million USDC. Company data shows that the product has generated over $1.9 billion in loans to date. The lending service is powered by the Morpho protocol on the Base network, with Coinbase providing the interface and charging a one-time loan fee. On-chain loans have no fixed repayment period, but borrowers must maintain a healthy collateralized value (LTV) to avoid liquidation. The maximum LTV for BTC and ETH loans is 75%, with a liquidation threshold of 86%; for XRP, DOGE, ADA, and LTC loans, the maximum LTV is 49%, with a liquidation threshold of 62.5%. Loan interest rates are determined by supply and demand within the Morpho protocol, and loan funds are prohibited from being used for trading on Coinbase according to the terms of the agreement.

BlockBeats news, February 19th, according to CoinDesk, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon stated at the World Liberty Forum that he holds 'very little, but indeed some' Bitcoin, though he is still closely watching this asset as part of the broader trend of technology reshaping the financial system. He believes that traditional finance and the crypto industry are forming an evolving unified system, and tokenization is expected to play a central role in future market infrastructure. Solomon said, 'I am an observer of Bitcoin, still trying to understand its operation and volatility mechanisms.'Solomon noted that Goldman Sachs currently has limited involvement in the crypto space, mainly due to what he calls 'restrictive regulation.' He warned that excessive regulation could drain capital from the financial system, but also called for a prudent and rational approach to regulation.

According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on February 17, Pump.fun announced a new feature called Cashback Coins, which allows token creators to opt for full refund of creator fees to traders instead of token deployers before launch. Pump.fun stated that while creator fees positively support the growth and success of teams, creators, and founders, many tokens succeed without teams or project leaders, leading to disproportionate rewards for token deployers who should not receive fees. Unlike tokens that charge creator fees, Cashback Coins cannot conduct CTO (Creator Token Offerings). Users can claim cashback rewards in the "Rewards" section of the Pump.fun mobile app. Once a token is launched, this decision becomes permanently locked.

PANews reported on February 17th that Pump.fun has announced a reform to its creator fees, splitting the token issuance fee model into two categories: "Creator Fee" and "Transaction Rebate," which creators can choose at the time of issuance. If the token issuer chooses the transaction rebate option, all creator fees will be returned to the transaction participants, and this model does not support CTOs.
