The crypto and web3 community has long struggled with the fundamental disconnect between the technology’s world-changing potential and the reality of the volatile market: NFTs, memecoins, and high-risk speculative trading. But could a focused approach on “boring” everyday financial utility be Ethereum’s (ETH) “Google Search moment”? Summary Ethereum’s future should prioritize stable, reliable infrastructure — payments, savings, and low-risk lending — over speculative hype, enabling real-world utility and global financial access. The “Sizzle Paradox” shows that hype-driven…
FTX creditors may receive far less than initially believed once payouts are adjusted for today’s inflated crypto valuations, according to Sunil, a prominent FTX creditor representative.In a Sunday post on X, Sunil estimated that the real crypto recovery rate for FTX creditors ranges between 9% and 46%, noting that the actual value could be even lower as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) prices have surged since the exchange’s collapse in 2022.“FTX creditors are not whole,” he wrote, adding that the exchange’s planned 143% fiat repayment doesn’t reflect losses in crypto-denominated terms.According to a table shared in his post,…
Opinion by: Morgan Krupetsky, vice president of Onchain Finance at Ava LabsOn the heels of the GENIUS Act’s passing, the next era of stablecoin usage is being driven by a growing cohort of fintechs and neobanks — integrating stablecoins into their product and service offerings, going where traditional systems have found it economically or operationally infeasible to do so, and, as such, growing their competitive edge. These challenger systems are providing a direct way for people and businesses to more readily access and store stable value in mobile wallets; to navigate financial stability concerns around hyperinflation and currency volatility; to effectuate…

Once the market plummeted, this trader bagged $160 million, sparking speculation over market manipulation — with some even theorizing that the “whale” behind the transaction was…
Bitcoin could be in the middle of an unofficial initial coin offering (ICO) as OG holders rotate out and fresh blood scoops up the tokens, distributing the supply across a broader number of people, macro analyst and Wall Street old hand Jordi Visser says. In a Saturday episode of entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano’s podcast and a post on Substack, Visser said old coins that have been dormant for years are on the move, “Not all at once. Not in panic. But steadily,” and new investors are stepping in, “accumulating on dips.” “In the traditional world, this moment is called an IPO. It’s the…

Banks and financial institutions have started experimenting with tokenized bank deposits, bank balances recorded on a blockchain, but the technology is doomed to lose out to stablecoins, according to Omid Malekan, an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School.Overcollateralized stablecoin issuers, who must maintain 1:1 cash or short-term cash equivalent reserves to back their tokens, are safer from a liability perspective than the fractional reserve banks that would issue tokenized bank deposits, Malekan said. Stablecoins are also composable, meaning they can be transferred across the crypto ecosystem and used in various applications, unlike tokenized deposits, which are permissioned, have know-your-customer (KYC) controls,…
