908 BTC for 1 USDT? Not a bug, a feature
BIP-177 proposes getting rid of fractional Bitcoin units altogether by redefining the smallest indivisible part of Bitcoin as 1 bitcoin. Right now, the smallest possible unit is 0.00000001 BTC – also known as 1 satoshi. BIP-177 suggests renaming that unit to 1 bitcoin. There’s definitely some logic to it. Just recently, I had a couple of conversations with people who were surprised I...
Bitcoin Catching Up to Gold? Not So Fast
I was surprised to see a recent statement by Fidelity’s top executive Jurrien Timmer claiming that Bitcoin is catching up with gold as a store of value. According to him, Bitcoin's risk-adjusted returns are now comparable to gold’s. And the returns themselves, he says, are getting close too. But just look at the charts he’s using. * If you had invested $5...
AI Agents Missed TRUMP. Can GPT Predict SUI?
The spotlight in the crypto community is once again on the Virtuals platform. This time - thanks to the successful launch of the Arbus token, which has drawn serious attention and delivered impressive returns for holders. The $ARBUS token surged 60x, restoring confidence in Virtuals’ ability to deliver high-yield Genesis Launches. You might remember Virtuals for its AI agent tokens – especially those in...
NFTs: Much More Than Just Collectibles
Recently, a user reached out to Rabbit Swap, our crypto exchange service, with a question: can we swap a non-fungible token (NFT)? At Rabbit Swap, we handle all sorts of crypto assets — from classics like BTC and XMR to stablecoins and more obscure tokens. But NFTs? No, we don’t support them. But why not? After all, NFTs are also crypto assets!...
The Corporate BTC Gold Rush
Two weeks ago, NYDIG highlighted a growing trend: companies being created solely to accumulate Bitcoin. Since then, the numbers have only gotten more eye-catching. More and more firms are raising money from investors – not to invest on their behalf, but to buy Bitcoin for themselves. The wave is building, and it’s raising a lot of questions. Here’s the one I keep coming back...
Trump-Linked Firm Bets $6M on a Letter
Today, a company linked to the Trump family – World Liberty Financial – purchased $6 million worth of a cryptocurrency called A (formerly known as EOS). There was a time when EOS was all the rage, seen as the go-to blockchain for smart contracts. It had the potential to become what Solana is today – but things didn’t go as planned. Competition was fierce (think Ethereum...
ETH to BTC: The Chart Analysts Still Watch
Ever since Ethereum broke above $2,500 - nearly doubling from its recent low of $1,400 - I’ve been seeing a wave of commentary on this sharp rally. One common theme stands out: the downtrend on the ETH/USD chart may be broken, but the ETH/BTC chart is still stuck in a bearish pattern. Apparently, Bitcoin is still the benchmark. If ETH is worth 0.02 BTC, that’s considered...
Stablecoins Are the Real Crypto Now
CoinMetrics just published an analysis of the stablecoin sector. According to their data, stablecoins now account for around 70% of all transaction volume on blockchains. Bitcoin, by comparison, makes up only about 10%. Sure, not all Bitcoin is moved on-chain - there's also the Lightning Network. But let’s not forget: not all on-chain volume actually reflects real transfers...
The best stablecoin is the one no one can see
Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano, announced plans to launch what he calls the world’s first private stablecoin. As he put it: “Maybe people don’t want a stablecoin where every single purchase is permanently tracked by everyone, everywhere.” Sounds great in theory - but in practice, private stablecoins already exist. There’s EURx, a euro-pegged stablecoin issued by PEGx, and USDT...
A critical Ethereum vulnerability - but is it really new?
Cointelegraph reported that Ethereum’s latest update introduced a serious vulnerability: it’s now possible to authorize spending from your wallet using just an off-chain signature. Off-chain signatures are widely used in Web3 for signing messages when logging into sites or dApps. They cost nothing and aren’t recorded on the blockchain - which is why many users sign messages without thinking twice. But...
