The IRS has tightened its grip on crypto activity over the […]...

The Chains That Outgrew Themselves Scalability was the pitch. Faster blocks, cheaper fees, and more efficient consensus mechanisms were supposed to push chains like Fantom, Near, and Algorand into the spotlight. But the gap between design and adoption never quite closed. Transaction speeds improved. Usage didn’t. Fantom’s TVL plummeted from $7.5B in early 2022 to […]...

Regulation has caught up to crypto. In 2025, exchanges, wallets, and service providers are no longer flying under the radar.

Ethereum set the standard for smart contract platforms. It introduced the concept of programmable money, built the foundations of DeFi, and still holds the lead in total value locked and developer activity.
