For the entire history of cryptocurrency, the primary participants have been humans: people buying, selling, holding, and trading. However, in 2025, a profound shift is occurring. We are witnessing the rise of the “Machine Economy,” where the dominant users of blockchain networks are not humans, but autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents. These agents are software […]

In the wake of several high-profile collapses of centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, the question of trust and transparency has never been more critical. Users who deposit their assets onto an exchange are taking a leap of faith, trusting that the platform is solvent and that their funds are truly being held in custody on a 1:1 […]

While DeFi, NFTs, and memecoins have historically captured the market’s attention, a powerful new narrative has been quietly gaining momentum and is poised to be a dominant theme in 2025: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). This emerging sector leverages cryptocurrency incentives to build and maintain real-world physical infrastructure in a decentralized manner. From wireless networks […]

For years, interoperability has been one of the biggest barriers to Web3’s growth. Blockchains were designed as isolated ecosystems, not as networks that communicate easily with one another.

Most crypto traders obsess over the big stuff. Price charts, project roadmaps, whether Elon tweeted something stupid again. But there’s this whole other layer that serious players started paying attention to around 2025—market microstructure. Sounds boring, I know. It’s basically the plumbing of how trades actually happen. How liquidity works, what the venue’s rules do […]

We’ve been talking about AI in trading for years now. But 2025 feels different. It’s not hype anymore. Walk into any serious trading operation—doesn’t matter if it’s a hedge fund or some guy running strategies from his apartment—and AI is already there, quietly doing the work that used to take teams of analysts weeks to […]

In the high-stakes world of cryptocurrency trading, proficiency in charting and technicals is only half the battle. Honestly, sometimes it feels like just 10% of the game. The market’s legendary volatility – you know, the 30% swings in a week – is driven not just by code and fundamentals, which everyone obsesses over, but by […]
