Falcon Finance Tops $600M in USDf Supply as DeFi Demand Surges
Dubai, UAE, July 17th, 2025, Chainwire Synthetic dollar protocol Falcon Finance has announced that the total supply of its USDf synthetic dollar has surpassed $600M. The latest milestone, achieved just five weeks after crossing $500M, highlights the protocol's rapid growth and the increasing demand for its yield-generating asset that is being widely integrated into DeFi protocols. The total supply of the dollar-pegged USDf has been rising steadily for months and now stands at $648M, with a TVL of $685M, which represents the total value of crypto assets that have been deposited by its users. These assets are backed by a 115% overcollateralization rate that is fully verifiable through daily reserve attestations. Demand for USDf has been fueled by strong uptake of the Falcon Miles points program, complemented by enhanced transparency measures, such as daily proof-of-reserve attestations and the establishment of quarterly ISAE 3000 assurance reviews by Harris & Trotter LLP. The recent launch of the first onchain mint using tokenized U.S. Treasuries via Superstate's USTB has bridged real-world assets with DeFi liquidity, while a partnership with BitGo provides secure institutional custody and paves the way for fiat ramps and staking integrations. In addition, Falcon has expanded its cross-chain presence to XRPL EVM via Axelar and BNB Chain, boosting capital efficiency across the multi-chain landscape. Opportunities to utilize USDf have grown with integrations across DeFi protocols, including a USDf spot market on WOO X and Pendle tokens like PT-sUSDf on Morpho's lending and borrowing platform, allowing users to supply sUSDf as collateral while earning yield. After depositing stablecoins or crypto assets, including BTC and ETH, Falcon users can mint USDf, which serves as an overcollateralized stablecoin. Users who then elect to stake their USDf can mint a corresponding amount of sUSDf, the yield-generating version of Falcon's dual-token stablecoin. The yield available on sUSDf is variable but currently stands at an APY of 10.8%. It's designed to remain competitive through diversified sources, including funding rate arbitrage, cross-exchange strategies, and now tokenized real-world assets. Unlike other synthetic dollar protocols that rely solely on positive funding rate arbitrage, the yield distributed to USDf stakers is derived from multiple sources. This ensures a consistent yield regardless of market conditions. As part of its long-term user growth strategy, Falcon has expanded its Falcon Miles ecosystem-wide points program and is now rewarding activity across minting, staking, LPing, and referrals with up to 60x multipliers. The program includes retroactive drops and has extended to additional onchain integrations with the likes of Pendle, Euler, Morpho, Napier, and Spectra as the Falcon ecosystem evolves. With more chain integrations, additional vaults, and further expansions to Falcon Miles underway, Falcon Finance is rapidly advancing its goal of making USDf a cornerstone of the DeFi landscape.

3 Top Cybersecurity Stocks to Buy in July
Key Points Palo Alto Networks' scale and diversification will fuel its long-term growth. CrowdStrike's cloud-native approach should disrupt traditional cybersecurity options. SentinelOne aims to fully automate the threat detection process with its AI tools. 10 stocks we like better than Palo Alto Networks › Cybersecurity stocks are often considered evergreen investments because most companies won't shut down their digital defenses just to save a few dollars. The rise of more sophisticated cyberattacks should also drive more organizations to upgrade their cybersecurity software. From 2025 to 2030, Grand View Research expects the cybersecurity market to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. But with so many different types of technologies and services, it can be tough for investors to separate the winners from the losers. So today, let's discuss three growing cybersecurity companies -- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), and SentinelOne (NYSE: S) -- and see why they might still be worth buying this month even as the market hovers near all-time highs. Three different approaches to the cybersecurity market Palo Alto Networks is one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies. It serves over 80,000 enterprise customers across three main platforms: Strata for its on-premise firewalls and network security services, Prisma for its cloud-based security services, and Cortex for its AI-powered threat detection tools. Most of its recent growth has been driven by Prisma and Cortex, which the company collectively refers to as its "next generation security" (NGS) services. CrowdStrike differentiates itself from its peers by only providing its endpoint security tools as subscription-based cloud services. That makes it stickier and easier to scale than traditional cybersecurity platforms, which are installed through on-site appliances. Its main platform, Falcon, allows its customers to only subscribe to the modules they need. It serves more than 29,000 customers, including over half of the Fortune 1000 companies. SentinelOne is a smaller newcomer that uses its AI algorithms to counter threats across its Singularity extended threat detection and response platform. But unlike Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike, which still party rely on human analysts, SentinelOne wants to replace all human analysts with its AI algorithms to boost Singularity's speed, accuracy, and efficiency. It served 1,459 larger customers (with over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue) in its latest quarter. How fast are these three companies growing? All three of these cybersecurity companies experienced slower growth over the past few years as rising interest rates and other macro headwinds made it tougher to land big new contracts. But instead of fretting over that slowdown, we should look ahead and see how fast they might grow. From fiscal 2024 to 2027 (which ends in July 2027), analysts expect Palo Alto's revenue to rise at a CAGR of 14% and its and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow at a CAGR of 17%. That growth should be driven by the consolidation of its network, cloud, and security tools into a unified AI-powered platform to lock in its larger customers, the ongoing expansion of its NGS services, and its future investments and acquisitions. From fiscal 2025 to 2028 (which ends in January 2028), analysts expect CrowdStrike's revenue to increase at a CAGR of 22% and its adjusted EBITDA to rise at a CAGR of 27%. The biggest catalysts for its near-term growth include Charlotte, its generative AI tool for streamlining the threat detection process; new AI-enhanced modules for Falcon; and Falcon Flex, its flexible subscription-based plan that lets its customers add more modules as needed. From fiscal 2025 to 2028 (which also ends in January 2028), analysts expect SentinelOne's revenue to grow at a CAGR of 20%. They also expect its adjusted EBITDA to turn positive this year. It should continue to gain more federal contracts as it expands its higher-growth Purple AI, Cloud Security, and Hyperautomation modules. Are these three stocks still reasonably valued? We should value higher-growth stocks based on their revenue instead of their earnings -- which can remain wobbly as they invest in the expansion of their ecosystems. By that measure, none of those stocks seem grossly overvalued yet. Palo Alto Networks trades at 12 times its projected sales for fiscal 2026 (which starts on Aug. 1). CrowdStrike trades at 25 times this year's sales, while SentinelOne looks the cheapest at less than 6 times this year's sales. Based on those valuations, CrowdStrike might be ideal for growth investors. SentinelOne might appeal to the value-seeking contrarian investors, while Palo Alto Networks could be the most balanced play. All three of these stocks might remain volatile in this choppy market, but they could generate big long-term gains for investors who tune out the near-term noise.
