BlockTower Capital CIO estimates another 9–22 months of bull run for crypto

How long will crypto’s current season of prosperity last? Ari Paul, chief information officer at BlockTower Capital, thinks the bull run has at least nine more months.  In a tweet on Feb. 4, Paul said the industry is currently in the “7th inning of the crypto bull market.” He added: “This is where we get ongoing, dizzying rotation.

Corporate Treasuries Are Figuring Out Bitcoin on the Balance Sheet

Saylor’s MicroStrategy event this week included a playbook, going into the nuts and bolts of things like qualified custodians, hot and cold wallets and so on. (Square provided a similar guide last October.) It’s worth stepping back and remembering what unlikely…

The year 2021 will bring DeFi into adolescence

Following the explosive growth of decentralized finance in the second half of 2020, we’re asking ourselves what the next chapter will look like. What would it take for DeFi to expand beyond crypto-native assets and communities and start eating financial services as we know it? The second half of 2020 surpassed many of our expectations, and the market has only accelerated since then. Total value locked in DeFi rose from less than $1 billion at the start of June to $13 billion at the end of the year and over…
