🔥 The Defiprime DigestBlackRock Model Portfolios Move Onchain Through OndoBlackRock is bringing three model portfolios—baskets of ETFs assembled for investors—onchain as digital tokens through Ondo Finance. This is more consequential than another isolated tokenized fund: packaging whole portfolios can turn blockchain rails into a distribution layer for familiar investment products. The near-term questions are access, liquidity, transfer restrictions, and whether composability survives the compli

🔥 The Defiprime DigestTerm Finance Loses $8.5M to Governance by ApathyTerm Finance’s exploit was not a conventional smart-contract hack. A wallet holding just 0.017% of the affected vault submitted a proposal, waited through a six-day window with zero vetoes, removed the seven-day transaction cooldown, and drained 2,841 ETH plus 1.68 million USDC. The code executed exactly as governance allowed.This is the week’s clearest operational lesson: a veto window is not a defense unless someone is conti
