Why Crypto Feels Dead Now
If you've been paying attention to crypto over the past year or so, you've probably felt something weird. Things look great on paper. ETFs have bought billions of dollars of Bitcoin and Ether. The President of the United States is talking about Bitcoin reserves and launching projects of his own. And yet, crypto feels dead. There's still activity -- of course there is. Chains continue to chug along, new metas come and go, and the underlying infrastructure continues to improve from an already b...

Ethereum's Been Struggling. Will The ETFs Help?
Ethereum may just be the biggest underachiever of the bull run so far. ETH -- and ETH-aligned assets -- have seemed to lag well behind the likes of Solana through most of the bull run.

The affordability of these tokens, combined with the apparent potential for massive financial gains, makes these ultra-cheap tokens particularly...
