Mevolaxy MEVstake Smashes $50M TVL Milestone – MEV Mania Goes Mainstream

MEV just got a half-billion-dollar vote of confidence.

The once-niche arbitrage strategy is now pulling institutional money into DeFi's riskier frontiers—because what's finance without a little frontrunning?

Protocols printing alpha (and controversy)

Mevolaxy's MEVstake suite crossed $50M total value locked this week as traders chase yield in Ethereum's dark forests. The surge comes despite—or perhaps because of—regulators' ongoing scrutiny over MEV's ethical gray areas.

Validators getting greedy

With MEV extraction now accounting for up to 15% of validator profits according to some estimates, the ecosystem's incentive misalignments are looking increasingly like features rather than bugs. 'It's not extractive, it's efficient,' claimed one anonymous staker—between private jet bookings.

As MEV goes from attack vector to asset class, one thing's clear: in crypto, even your transaction slippage can become someone else's revenue stream.
