Let’s face it, the crypto space is awash in hype. Every other week, a new token promises to revolutionize finance, only to crash and burn faster than you can say "rug pull." So pardon the skeptical side-eye when I first learned of XRPFi. Another way to pump XRP? I thought....
Okay, let's talk DeFi. We've all seen the headlines: Ethereum governance tokens are surging, and whispers of an "innovation exemption" from the SEC are making the rounds. As someone who's been building in this space for years – and yes, even spun a few tracks as a DJ back in...
The SEC might as well be flirting with a DeFi “innovation exemption.” Is this a lifeline for a thriving ecosystem, or a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing noose? We all want innovation, but at what price? Is this the real effort they are making to foster growth? Or is it more like a regulatory...
Therefore, DeFi Technologies (DEFT) found themselves listed on Nasdaq today. Big deal, right? Trading on the NASDAQ under the DEFT ticker since May 12, 2025.

The SEC roundtable led by Paul Atkins may not be another government meeting after all. In the process, it would shift our understanding of finance as we know it on its head. Even so, it holds the promise of a trillion-dollar wave of opportunity. So, let’s explore a little deeper...

Are you sick of being treated like a pawn in banks’ chess match? I am. These institutions have had far too positive an influence on our financial lives for far too long. They call all the shots, they profit endlessly and give us next to nothing back. The tide is...
Colle AI has made a rather audacious leap into the XRP ecosystem. Their multichain NFT platform is really, really interesting! Some might call it bold. Others, perhaps, a little… reckless? So, before you sharpen your pitchforks or diamond hands, let’s break down what this really entails. We’re going to explore...
DeFi.Decentralized Finance.Sounds like a utopian dream, right?A world liberated from the grip of commercial banks, where finance is open, inclusive and — you guessed it — decentralized.To be candid, it has been the Wild West. In reality, it’s positively bursting with scams, rug pulls and every variety of shady character...
It's a behemoth, isn't it? Controlled by a small handful of people, obscure in their operation, and to be frank, frequently rigged against the everyday American. In these events, banks and corporations are never far away, and shadowy conspirators lurk behind the curtain. It often feels like a contemporary David...
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...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...

Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...

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...
DeFi might seem like a remote world, but I’ll never forget being at a DeFi conference last year. The typical panicky lunge for registration lines, relatable uncomfortable small talk… but then, wait, what’s this. Rather than needing to keep up with a paper name tag, I simply scanned a QR...
I’ve always been interested in the way art and technology can bring people together. My past as a graphic novel artist and writer showed me the impact visual storytelling can have on connecting with others. I never envisioned how powerful these digital collectibles could be – how they can be...
