At the "Build and Scale in 2026" themed forum recently held by ChainCatcher in Hong Kong, Spark co-founder Sam MacPherson delivered a keynote speech on "The Growth Engine of DeFi," systematically explaining how Spark builds an integrated solution to address the fragmentation and inefficiency of on-chain capital markets by integrating savings, lending, and institutional-level capital allocation.Sam MacPherson pointed out that the current on-chain capital market still faces challenges of severe fragmentation and low capital utilization efficiency. Spark builds its growth engine through three core products: first, the all-chain savings account Spark Savings, which has managed over $2.75 billion in deposits, providing users with a safe and stable income entry; second, the lending protocol SparkLend, which focuses on blue-chip assets and captures value by reducing external protocol commissions and protocol fees; third, institutional lending in collaboration with the Anchorage custodian, seeking risk-adjusted returns between DeFi, CeFi, and traditional finance.He believes that the next phase of DeFi's growth will rely on integrated protocols that can seamlessly integrate multi-chain liquidity, provide institutional-level risk control, and possess sustainable token economic models. Spark is promoting the evolution of DeFi towards a more efficient and robust direction through its product matrix and ecosystem development.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, the address starting with 0xcA0, labeled as "BTC OG insider whale" (agent Garrett Jin), used the same Binance deposit address as Trend Research under Yi Li Hua.On-chain data shows that the Trend Research address transferred 7,989,000 USDT to the address starting with 0xcdF one day ago, which was then moved to the Binance hot wallet address starting with 0x28C.The "BTC OG insider whale" transferred 10,000 ETH to the address starting with 0xcdF two hours ago, which was subsequently moved to the Binance hot wallet address starting with 0x28C.Lookonchain did not provide further interpretation. However, Binance deposit addresses are typically user-specific (especially for large and frequently used hot deposit addresses), so it cannot completely rule out "coincidence" or "address reuse" (for example, through a common funding source/OTC channel). Nonetheless, under normal circumstances, the probability of two independent large holders/institutions using exactly the same deposit address is extremely low.
