Well, we’re sold the notion that Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization is going to democratize finance. Is it really? Or are we merely creating a new playpen for the same bad whales? Stobox claims to have tokenized $500 million in assets, but the real question is: who owns those tokens?...
See how that Bitcoin crossing $104k makes you feel—it’s fantastic, isn’t it? Particularly after several months of mucking about sideways and the proverbial crypto winter still echoing in the canyons.

Let’s face it, when you read about the Q1 2025 cryptocurrency market crash (and you will – trust me), what are you gonna read about? Likely plenty of discussion on Bitcoin’s dominance, Ethereum’s struggles, and perhaps a brief discussion on meme coins. A bunch of numbers, percentages, technical analysis –...
Q1 2025. Red across the board. You saw the headlines: market down, Bitcoin wobbling, Ethereum in freefall. As the retail herd freaked out, the whales? They were playing a different game altogether. A silent game. If you blinked and weren’t paying attention, you missed it.These are the guys I’ve spent...
Lido’s LIP-28 is in, heralding this exciting new age of “Dual Governance” by promising to give stETH holders more power. On the surface, it's a move towards decentralization, a corrective measure to balance the power between LDO token holders and those providing the lifeblood of the protocol: stETH liquidity. Beneath...
Consider Sarah, a single mother who responsibly IRL stakes her ETH with Lido. She's not a whale, just a believer in Ethereum's promise. She often finds that her voice is an echo in a coliseum of LDO loudspeakers. Sarah's story isn't unique; it's the reality for many stETH holders who've...
We can picture someone like Sarah, an independent single mom who invested her life savings into stETH to benefit from a more predictable, passive income stream. Most importantly, she trusted in the idea of decentralized finance, that DF was a universe where everyone could participate and be heard. Now, Lido’s...
Lido is considering giving governance powers to stETH holders, the same as LDO token holders. At first glance, this change seems like one of the biggest wins for decentralization. More voices, more accountability, right? Before we uncork the champagne, let's consider a less rosy scenario: a potential Trojan Horse, bringing...
Everyone is talking about it. The explosive price action of FLR in April, peaking above $0.022, and its continued strength into May, surpassing $0.020 again, has the crypto-sphere buzzing. Let's cut through the noise. Are these gains as a result of real utility and wise money acknowledging the birth of...
The trouble is, we’re always looking for that next big thing, that project that will finally break the ice and change everything. And lately, I've been asking myself a serious question: could Flare Network be that disruptor for XRP?XRP's Achilles Heel, Centralization?Not to mention, let’s face it, XRP has had...
