The SEC’s been leading the regulatory cha-cha with DeFi for years, one step forward, two steps back. In the past few years, it seems like they have actually made the leap to dance with the industry. This ain't your grandma's waltz. This is one of those full-blown raves that’s going...

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has built a reputation as a world-shaking disruptor. At the moment it is about to make a very important inflection point.

As a result DFDV’s stock price skyrocketed 20% following their announcement of a $5 billion equity facility. Seems like everyone's drinking the Kool-Aid, right? Before you load up the shotgun, hold on a minute. Is this true genius born of crypto, or is this just another high-stakes roll of the...

The world of cryptocurrency moves quickly, and the regulatory environment is no different. Just like that, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) scored a major victory. They have rolled back on some of their more draconian proposed crypto industry rules. This recent action sent shockwaves of excitement and speculation throughout...
Did the SEC unknowingly save the metaverse? Seriously, think about it. For months, we've been bracing for the impact of regulations that felt less like thoughtful oversight and more like a sledgehammer to a delicate ecosystem. Now, with the withdrawal of several Gensler-era proposals, we're left wondering: are we in...
Picture a financial system that frees you from Wall Street’s grasp. And best of all, it’s available to everyone with an internet connection!

AIDAv2. It’s been the new kid on the “AI+DeFi” block, though, heralding a more intelligent, responsive decentralized finance. Lossless Cycle Restaking?

Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe.
