The U.S. Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of a super El Niño in the northern hemisphere autumn and winter of 2026 to 2027 at more than 90%, a pattern that typically lasts nine to 12 months and can reshape global rainfall and temperature. WisdomTree said every strong El Niño over the past 55 years has cut cocoa output. Cocoa prices nearly tripled in 2024 after West Africa’s harvest failed, eventually topping $12,000 per metric ton. India expects monsoon rainfall this year to be its lowest in 11 years at about 90% of the long-term average, while Hedgepoint estimates even a moderate El Niño could cut Indian sugar production by around 1 million metric tons.

Ethereum-based DeFi protocol OLY is set to open its token mint on Aug. 28, structuring rewards around protocol revenue rather than ongoing token issuance. The system routes income to stakers, liquidity, ETH-based vaults and OLY buybacks and burns. Market sellers start with a dynamic 10% fee that is designed to step down to 4% as market capitalization rises, while limit orders carry a 2% fee and some liquidity exits are fee-free. Of ETH revenue, 34% is allocated to a staked ETH vault, 16% each to liquidity defense, a liquidity vault, direct staker payments and OLY buyback-and-burn, with the remaining 2% going to Genesis.
