Could Solana’s ecosystem be on the cusp of building an open, and truly vibrant metaverse? Or are we just pumping up yet another play-to-earn (P2E) bubble that’s destined to pop? DeFi Development Corp’s $100 million recent investment into the Solana ecosystem is a high stakes bet. It’s a wager on...
In June 2025, Solana passed Ethereum by a wide margin in DEX volume, marking an important step towards the network’s overall goal of surpassing Ethereum.

Okay, let's be real. We’ve all read the articles detailing how Solana’s DEX volume is exploding to $64 billion in daily volume, overtaking Ethereum in volume in June 2025. As someone who’s two-shoes-deep in the metaverse game, I have an alternative, more-positive view to present. Forget the short-term price dips...
There is great news for developers using Solana as their blockchain of choice! It has overtaken Ethereum, even taking the number two spot in decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes for June 2025. This rise is a clear indication of Solana’s growing supremacy in the decentralized finance (DeFi) arena. Further accelerating this...
Let's be blunt: Solana eating Ethereum's lunch in the DEX space isn't just a fluke. It is a totally predictable result of decisions Ethereum has made and is still making. As an analyst, I find this kind of development borderline heretical. So instead of a competition, I view it as...

Sure, maybe that's part of the story. But I'm here to tell you there's a much sexier, more disruptive force at play: NFTs And Corporate...
Corporate treasuries are flooding into Ethereum. The optics don’t help, as headlines scream of a 100% increase in holdings, and even more celebrate it as validation.

Bitcoin, frequently lauded as the new gold, has been the dream for ages that would change the world of finance. Its lack of utility has mostly prevented it from going beyond its role as a store of value. Now, Botanix is stepping onto the stage with a bold vision: to...
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
A billion-dollar valuation for the ability to palm scan? No joke. While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target.
