Imagine Aicha in Senegal. She was formerly held captive by predatory micro lenders, which charged sky-high interest rates on very small loans. She takes out loans on a decentralized lending platform on Ethereum, giving her access to fair credit. Thanks to this support, she’s able to expand her little business...
Let's be real. So we’re not just experiencing an increase in numbers—we’re watching a power shift. What a time it is for the crypto market! And nope, it’s not just because Bitcoin finally broke $100,000 or Ethereum topped $2000. XRP experienced a recent minor 5% surge. It's about something much...
I've seen it happen too many times. But now, one more bright-eyed kid, lured in by the prospect of easy money in the crypto world, finds himself burned. A dear friend’s son recently graduated from high school. He put his entire college fund into a meme coin and lost almost...

Ventino Aventino enables developers to build platform-agnostic agents that can autonomously transact, govern, and evolve. As part of onboarding universal gas, Grindery launched its own universal...
Grindery is hoping Aventino will provide an infrastructure for AI agents to unlock the financial kingdom. That’s a hell of a gamble on fairly early and rag-tag AI capabilities and the capriciousness of financial markets. The dream of autonomous AI agents seamlessly transacting in the tech-surfed over web3 landscape is...
So, Nike and Starbucks are fleeing from NFTs? Good riddance. C’mon, let’s not kid ourselves, their “Web3” experiments were less real than reality TV. They weren’t constructing a community, they were creating a customer base to siphon off.Corporate NFT Exit: Good Riddance!Recall that first wave of enthusiasm when NFTs first...
The crypto world is at a crossroads. You’re hearing it from everyone, especially those with old school interests, that Bitcoin dominance is not just going to happen, but that it should be that way. That all altcoins are just “shitcoins” that will eventually disappear. They preach a gospel of digital...
You’ve probably fallen victim to the sexy siren song of the altcoin. They promise high, often unimaginable returns and advertise themselves as the new innovation that will dethrone Bitcoin. Are these just pie in the cybersky? I’m here to explain to you why, for the overwhelming majority of you, they’re...
BTC Dominance Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC.D) continues its bullish run, suggesting a market imbalance in favor of Bitcoin over other crypto competitors. Bitcoin’s dominance of the overall crypto market has gone through the roof. Now it’s getting closer to that truly awe inspiring 75% threshold, a percentage we haven’t achieved in...
Ouch. That 30% plunge since January really hurts the most right now, am I right? Particularly for all of us who invested in XRP expecting a quick moonshot. Why did that 63% chance of reaching an all-time high in 2025 nosedive to just 39%? Yeah, that's a gut punch. We're...
XRP, the third-largest digital asset, is trailing in a longer-term bullish market defined by higher price volatility and uncertainty. Those hopes for achieving a new record in 2025 have all but disappeared. This decline to some degree followed the judge’s disapproval of Ripple and the SEC’s motion to remove a...
It's been a wild ride, hasn't it? The last four-plus months have passed like a whirlwind. With legs-shaking ascents and gut-twisting descents, a new generation is starting to wonder whether the heyday is over. Since the start of this year, prices have dropped 30%. Now, they stand at about $2.31,...
This is the test. Is Bitcoin truly the people’s currency, or simply a virtual playground for the already wealthy? As analysts whisper about a potentially sluggish Q3 for Bitcoin, with retail investors salivating for a new all-time high that may never materialize this summer, a more uncomfortable truth is bubbling...

Yet even with this stellar performance, analysts are warning that Bitcoin could be in for a tough quarter three. Traditionally, this stretch has been Bitcoin’s weakest, and with Ethereum increasingly...
