Try Cool Crypto - Initia
IntroToday I'm taking a quick look at Initia -- with the emphasis on quick. I had hoped to be back to writing as normal this week after a few weeks break, but unfortunately, I've been pretty busy and haven't had as much time to focus on this as I'd hoped. Still, I wanted to get something out (even if it is a day later than planned), so here it is. Anyway, that's probably enough waffle for now, let's get to the focus of this post: Initia. People have been trying t...

Try Cool Crypto - MegaETH
Intro / Random ThoughtsI've already written quite a lot about the new generation of performance-focused chains. Still, there's at least one more that's worthy of a write-up: MegaETH. Given they've just launched their public testnet, letting us all experience the speed and potential of their design, it's probably a good time to take a look at what makes MegaETH special. Before we get to that, a quick note to say there probably won't be another newsletter for a few...

Try Cool Crypto - Sonic
IntroSo Trump's Strategic Reserve is now a reality. However, it only includes Bitcoin and none of the other assets threatened last weekend. There was also a digital asset summit at the White House this week that resulted in almost no meaningful headlines. Prices are predictably lower as a result, with the market's elevated expectations unmet. Still, the real progress continues in the background. For instance, the Senate this week overwhelmingly voted to do away with the IRS's i...

Try Cool Crypto - DeFi.App
IntroI have just seen, as I started writing this, that Trump has declared that his "Executive Order on Digital Assets directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA." Frankly, this seems like a joke -- even incorporating his later clarification that BTC and ETH will also be included in the reserve. I've said before that there's an argument to be made for Ether and Solana being included in a reserve alongside Bitc...
