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!...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The other day I came across a statistic that made my jaw drop: over 1.2 million tokens were created on the Solana blockchain — all within the past month! That’s an absurd number. Why would anyone need so many? Money was invented to serve as a universal medium of exchange. Universal implies shared by all. Ideally — singular. Because what is money...
It might not sound like a big deal at first. After all, the rest of the world has had 24/7 access to crypto futures for years. But Coinbase is making a point: it's the first U.S. exchange to fully drop the idea of “trading hours” for BTC and ETH futures. From now on, every hour is trading hour. Let that sink in. Until now, the massive American market essentially...
MARA Holdings, one of the largest public Bitcoin miners, has reported a $533 million loss for Q1 2025. It’s a paper loss (mostly a write-down of previous gains), but what caught our attention were the operating figures. MARA’s electricity cost to mine a single BTC was $35,728 - based on an energy rate of $0.04 per kWh. And...
