Wow, is Foundation permanently closed? This is quite shocking news. So the founder of the NFT marketplace, Kayvon Tehranian, has finally decided to completely shut down. Initially, they tried to find a buyer to continue operations, but the deal didn't go through. They even transferred to BlackDove in January, but ultimately, that party also chose to create their own platform.
What's interesting is that during its operation, Foundation facilitated around $230 million in primary transactions. That's quite a lot. But this serves as a reminder about the sustainability of centralized NFT infrastru

I just saw the official OPEN Mainnet go live today, and it’s pretty interesting to watch. The concept is simple but powerful—they launched Open Datanet as an on-chain layer that allows anyone to contribute their data. Well, the data you contribute will later become the backbone for training specialized AI, so it’s not just random data.
What’s interesting is their incentive system. If your data gets validated, you immediately land on the Open Datanet leaderboard and can earn $OPEN based on the real impact of your contribution. They use a mechanism called Proof-of-Attribution, so everyone whose

I just saw interesting news from the Bank of Korea. They are aggressively recruiting new talent, specifically 10 employees with at least 5 years of experience in the crypto industry. This is no coincidence—they are serious about their digital won project.
Previously, the Han River project was halted due to less-than-positive user feedback, but now they are launching a new version with a different focus. This time, the target is more practical: applications for government and businesses, not directly for consumers. The plan is quite ambitious—they want to provide 25% government subsidies in the

Gmeow! Recently, I noticed something interesting about Hyperliquid's architecture—it's not just about speed, but how they combine two worlds that are usually separate.
So here's the story. Hyperliquid is built with two main layers working together. The first is HyperCore, a native trading engine optimized specifically for high performance. It's not a generic EVM, but a specialized engine that handles order book perp, spot, oracle, liquidation, and lending primitives—all with low latency and deep on-chain liquidity. Basically, HyperCore is their trading and liquidity engine core, providing an o

I just saw some interesting developments worth noting this week.
On the technical side, Vitalik discussed the timeline for EIP-8141, which is expected to be realized within the next year. This is actually quite significant because it will comprehensively solve the account abstraction problem on Ethereum. For those who aren’t familiar, this EIP is one of the highly anticipated upgrades meant to make interactions with the blockchain more seamless. If successful, it could change how users interact with smart contracts.
But what’s even more interesting is how geopolitics is influencing the crypto

Recently, I became interested in Stani Kulechov's perspective on the future of DeFi. This Aave founder has quite a bold view on asset tokenization on the blockchain, especially for the long term up to 2050.
According to Kulechov, the real potential doesn't lie in the scarce assets that are already widely discussed. Currently, there are about $25 billion real-world assets tokenized, but most are still focused on U.S. government bonds, stocks, commodities, and real estate. These are categories already familiar in traditional markets.
What’s interesting is Kulechov’s vision of abundant asset tok

Just heard some interesting news about US regulations on crypto futures. So the CFTC is pushing to open access to properly regulated perpetual futures in America soon. If you don’t know what perpetual is, basically it’s a derivative contract without an expiration date — unlike regular futures that have an expiry date. Perpetual futures have long dominated trading on foreign exchanges, but in the US, there’s still no fully compliant version.
CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, speaking at the Milken Institute panel, said they are working hard to bring “true” perpetual futures to the US market. Why is

Have you ever wondered what actually keeps Bitcoin secure and how its supply can be controlled? If you're interested in buying BTC, it's really important to understand its technological foundation, especially regarding Bitcoin mining. This isn't just about how new coins are created, but also about the mechanism that keeps the entire network safe from manipulation.
So what exactly is Bitcoin mining? At its most basic level, it's the process where powerful computers compete to solve very complex mathematical puzzles. The winner earns the right to add a new transaction block to the blockchain and

So this week, Bitcoin really delivered an exciting roller coaster. The price has now risen to $77.89K, but if we look at the broader context, the market is still in the recovery phase from quite serious pressure a few months ago. It once dropped below $63K, which was a pretty drastic decline from its peak in $126K October.
There are several things happening simultaneously here. First, there’s a viral research report—The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis from Citrini Research—that basically triggered panic among investors. They discuss scenarios where AI automation causes massive displacement in

I recently noticed an increasingly interesting trend in the crypto market — tokenization of real-world assets or RWA is changing the way we view traditional finance and blockchain.
So how does it work? Physical assets like real estate, securities, bonds, even oil commodities, can all be converted into digital tokens. The result? Ownership can be divided, transactions can be made 24/7 with instant settlement, and everything is transparently recorded on the blockchain. This is no longer just theory — the best RWA crypto markets have already reached over $24 billion in TVL and continue to grow.

The Canton Network ecosystem guide was recently released, and the data looks quite impressive. According to Chaincatcher, there are now nearly 600 active validator nodes running on the network, processing over 15 million Canton transactions each month.
Even more interesting is the performance at the application layer. Various applications on Canton have handled over $60 billion in on-chain assets, and are processing $28 billion in U.S. Treasury repurchase transactions daily. This indicates that Canton is not just a concept; real use cases and transaction volumes are already there.
This ecosyst

I just saw some news about Bitdeer that caught my attention. Last week, they cleared all their Bitcoin holdings—zero balance. They previously still had 943 BTC, but everything was sold. This is actually a pretty significant signal if there's a change in their fundamental strategy.
Here's the story. Bitdeer is one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in the world, with a hashrate of 63.2 EH/s or about 6% of the total Bitcoin network. But now Wu Jihan, its founder, is making an aggressive pivot toward AI infrastructure. They’re no longer just focusing on mining, but buying and developing data

Today, hXXI shows a performance that is quite interesting to note. During this epoch, BTC dropped significantly by about 25%, with the lowest point touching the $60,033 area. From the peak to the bottom, we see a pullback of -32%, which is quite deep.
What’s interesting is how hXXI responds to this condition. Its position in the trading book remains basically stable, even though hXXI itself experienced a decline of about -0.3%. This indicates that the mechanism inside is quite resistant to extreme volatility.
Just look at the cumulative performance of hXXI since launch, which remains solid at

Recently, I noticed an interesting movement on Uniswap that is actually quite significant for the broader DeFi ecosystem. They are pushing for fee switch expansion to the eight main Layer-2 networks, and this is not just a typical technical upgrade—it's about how protocols are starting to seriously capture value in the multi-chain era.
If you've been following Uniswap from the beginning, you probably know that previously all trading fees went directly to liquidity providers. But since the UNIfication initiative at the end of 2025, everything changed. They started activating the fee switch—basi

Recently, I saw an interesting report about Japanese investors massively exiting foreign bonds in February. Data from the Japanese Ministry of Finance shows they sold a net 3.07 trillion yen of foreign bonds, the largest volume in the past 16 months. This is a significant signal about how market sentiment is changing.
What’s interesting is that the cause is quite clear—US bond yields fell while Japanese bonds actually rose, so local investors are more interested in staying in the home market. They sold foreign long-term bonds worth 3.42 trillion yen but still bought foreign short-term bonds ar

I'm currently keeping an eye on COMP (Compound) here. Based on the latest price data, it's at around $21.68, but it has dropped quite a bit over the past month. However, if you look at the history, its all-time high (ATH) has even reached $854, so there’s still a lot of room to move. It’s interesting to see where the crypto price prediction for this token might go in the future.
Compound, as a lending protocol, is still relevant in the DeFi ecosystem, and many people are curious about how the COMP token will perform in the coming years. If we look at the fundamentals, DeFi adoption keeps growi

So there's this thing called meme coin in the Base ecosystem, MOLT, suddenly skyrocketed 270% in just 1 hour. Its market capitalization has now surpassed $7.26 million. Crazy, right? But what's the story behind this? Turns out Meta just took over Moltbook and brought two of its founders into Meta Superintelligence Labs. But wait, before you get excited, you need to understand what this meme coin is. Basically, a meme coin is a token that usually starts as a joke or meme on the internet, its price is super volatile and heavily depends on hype and community sentiment. No real use case, no fundam

I just saw some quite interesting movements in the crypto market today. Bitcoin suddenly broke through the $71,000 level within a few hours, rising about 5% and adding nearly $70 billion to its market capitalization. Ethereum also moved up above $2,050 with a 5.6% increase, while XRP also surged close to $1.40. The overall crypto market added more than $100 billion in value in just a few hours.
What’s interesting is the cause behind this rapid surge. Data shows that short position liquidations reached nearly $110 million across the market. When Bitcoin broke through the $70,000 level, trade

Recently, my attention was drawn to the news that BlackRock continues to increase their Bitcoin holdings. The amount now reaches $245.7 million, a significant increase from before with an additional $68.8 million. This indicates that large institutional investors like BlackRock are becoming more serious about crypto assets.
Seeing this trend, it seems that confidence in Bitcoin from major corporations continues to grow. When BlackRock moves, it usually signals that the market is shifting toward a more mainstream direction. It will be interesting to see how this will influence market sentiment

Just saw whale activity on ETH, quite interesting. The market dropped hard yesterday due to disappointing US macro data, and ETH fell below $2k again, touching $1956 before bouncing. Interestingly, some whales are taking bearish positions in futures – one deposited $2.18 million into Hyperliquid and opened a short with 10x leverage. Long liquidation also hit $56 million, so many were forced to exit.
But wait, there's another story. A whale that slept for a year woke up and staked 8,208 ETH worth $16.85 million on Kiln_finance. This usually signals long-term confidence – they’re not selling,
