Ethereum Nears 200 Million Wallets While the Market Keeps Complaining
Ethereum is approaching a milestone that should be difficult to ignore: roughly 195 million non-empty wallets, just 5 million short of the 200 million mark.

Cardano’s Founder Steps Back as ADA Falls Into Its Harshest Confidence Crisis in Years

Avalanche’s World Cup Moment: How FIFA Ticket Demand Turned Blockchain Into Invisible Infrastructure
The clearest sign of crypto adoption may not look like crypto at all. It may look like a football fan trying to secure a seat at the World Cup.

Michael Saylor Did Not Crash Bitcoin, But Strategy’s BTC Sale Hit the Market Where It Hurts

World’s $65 Million WLD Sale Exposes the Tension at the Heart of Sam Altman’s Identity Network

The AlphaRaccoon Case: How a Google Engineer’s Polymarket Bets Became a Test for Prediction Markets
Prediction markets have always sold themselves on a simple promise: put money behind forecasts, and the market will reveal what people really know. But the new federal case against a Google engineer shows the darker side of that idea. Sometimes, what people “really know” may not be wisdom, research,
Stellar’s Wall Street Moment: Why DTCC’s Tokenization Push Sent XLM Higher
Stellar has spent years positioning itself as one of crypto’s most practical networks: fast, inexpensive, compliance-friendly, and quietly attractive to financial institutions that care less about speculation than settlement.

From Crypto Gold Rush to AI Mania: Why Venture Capital Left Web3, What It Still Funds, and What Comes Next
For a few brief years, crypto was the place where venture capital wanted to look early, brave, and slightly dangerous. Every major fund needed a Web3 thesis. Every generalist investor wanted access to token networks, DeFi infrastructure, NFT platforms, crypto gaming, Layer 1 chains, wallets, custodi
The SquidRouterModule Exploit Shows Why Safe Wallet Security Is Now a Supply-Chain Problem
The latest DeFi exploit did not hit a flashy yield farm, a thinly audited memecoin contract, or a bridge holding hundreds of millions in pooled liquidity. It hit something more uncomfortable: smart accounts that many crypto users treat as the safer side of on-chain custody. A third-party module labe
BlackRock’s $1 Billion Bitcoin Exit Is a Warning Shot for the ETF Market
The latest Bitcoin market anxiety has a familiar name at the center of it: BlackRock. According to reports citing Arkham data, BlackRock-linked wallets moved roughly $1.01 billion worth of Bitcoin over the past week, with the sales reportedly spread across daily transactions rather than executed as
