Today Hyperliquid announced that after the next network upgrade, 99% of the exchange’s revenue will be used to buy back HYPE tokens from the market — up from 97% before. At first glance, that might sound like great news. But it’s not as positive as it seems. And the problem isn’t just that this reduces the yield for the HLP liquidity pool. I see...

WLFI can fairly be called a clone of Aave — it copies the decentralized lending model Aave pioneered: users deposit assets into a liquidity pool, borrow against collateral, and either earn or pay interest. WLFI doesn’t introduce anything fundamentally new; it simply replicates Aave’s proven architecture with minimal tweaks for its own ecosystem. And yet, despite offering no real advantages, WLFI is already...

Fear and greed are the two dominant emotions driving any financial market — and crypto is no exception. When fear takes over, investors rush to sell off falling assets in panic, terrified of further losses. When greed kicks in, they start blindly buying whatever is rising, afraid to miss out on more profit. These psychological patterns have long been observed by...

Arizona Congressman David Schweikert has introduced a bill called the "Scam Farms Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act of 2025". The proposal would allow the U.S. President to grant special authorizations to private individuals to seize crypto assets from cybercriminals. These “private agents” - essentially state-sanctioned pirates - would be permitted to use any reasonable means, including armed...

With all the buzz around YZY - the token launched by Kanye West - a chart has been making the rounds online showing the historical performance of rapper-backed cryptocurrencies. The numbers look grim: most of them are down 98–99% from their peak. And sure, that’s true. But isn’t the same also true for 98–99% of all other cryptocurrencies ever launched, regardless of who...

Justin Sun announced today that Tron will adjust its fees to stay competitive. For those who don’t know: fees on Tron can actually be changed by the developers. This isn’t Bitcoin, where only the sender decides how much they’re willing to pay to get their transaction included in a block. On Tron, the protocol rules are flexible - and that gives developers a lot of...

Keyrock has published a report on how stablecoins could reshape global payment systems and capture a significant share of cross-border transfers. According to their estimates, within five years stablecoins may account for around 12% of all cross-border payments - that’s one in every eight dollars. What caught my attention was their forecast for remittances. The authors suggest that stablecoins could...

Bank of America surveyed fund managers to see how their portfolios are structured. Turns out, 75% of funds hold zero crypto exposure. Another 6% only keep around 2% in crypto. And here we are thinking massive institutional money is pouring into the crypto market! In reality, three out of four U.S. funds haven’t put a single cent into it. What’s...

According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Treasury is considering introducing digital ID requirements into DeFi smart contracts as a way to combat money laundering. The crypto community has already pushed back with some pretty clear counterarguments. A good example comes from well-known blockchain investigator ZachXBT: * Scammers can easily bypass such checks, since verified accounts are routinely bought and...

This week, the Monero network found itself under a 51% attack. The Qubic project claimed it had gained control over the majority of Monero’s mining power — and backed it up by successfully rewriting several blocks. That sounds alarming: after all, many people believe a 51% attack spells doom for any cryptocurrency. But the reality is far less dramatic. As the...
