Solana’s DeFi summer seems like a lifetime ago. The latest memecoin craze came and went, which left… uh… not anything too significant in terms of lasting DEX volume. But trading volume has cooled, and Solana DEXs are looking for that next bolt of lightning. We need to be honest: Raydium...

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin believes that Wall Street’s involvement with decentralized finance (DeFi) and Ethereum will be as big as the Internet’s transformation of the old economy. He cited a change in the disposition of financial regulators against crypto companies. This amendment likely will be the start of creating a...
Wall Street dipping its toes into DeFi? That's cute. They're about to cannonball. Joseph Lubin’s crystal ball prediction isn’t purely optimistic exuberance — it is the fate already determined by a trend that is completely underway. We’re looking at a once-in-a-century tectonic shift, people, and Ethereum is ground zero. So...
Lubin says Wall Street's going deep. Really deep. Into DeFi, into Ethereum. They’re already testing the waters, to be sure, but he’s referring to a cannonball, full-immersion jump into the metaverse pool. Spot Ethereum ETFs are raking in billions – that’s not chicken feed. But is this really the best...

Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
Just as Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with a big pivot to the now overly-hyped Metaverse, he’s undertaking another big pivot.
