boss

Some of these claims are legitimate, with strongmen leaders suppressing the will of the people in a desperate attempt to cling on to power.

Fake videos swirl online that paint a picture of manipulation on an industrial scale — depicting a world where ballot papers are dumped in bins. Whether true or false, even the mere suggestion of vote rigging is…

boss

The sharp recovery in major altcoins and Bitcoin suggests the uptrend remains intact. A large part of the current crypto bull run has been driven by institutional demand. But for the first time, the institutions may be stepping back. According to CryptoQuant, the Coinbase Premium Index, the difference in Bitcoin’s (BTC) price on Coinbase Pro and Binance, has turned negative, which suggests that pro traders may be taking profits. The institutional selling needs to be monitored closely because roughly 3% of the Bitcoin in circulation is held by these investors.…

BNY Mellon’s crypto entrance seeks to bridge generational adoption gap

boss

While the naysayers continue to wish for the so-called “Bitcoin bubble” to burst, the premium cryptocurrency continues to scale to new heights, seemingly with each passing day. For example, within the same week of Tesla announcing its foray into the crypto market, Bitcoin (BTC) proceeded to surge by almost $10,000.  And even though the market subsequently faced a correction, things took a turn for the better as soon as news broke that BNY Mellon, the United States’ oldest private bank, entered the crypto fray, sending the largest digital currency by…

YFI holders themselves passed this vote, with 83% voting in favor, and the highest engagement since Yearn’s now-mythical fair launch. The effects of this new twist in the story of DAOs — of what may be the most important governance action in the history of DeFi’s most decentralized bluechip so far — are still being written. To me, this changes…
