Hoskinson’s issuing the challenge, footing the bill for a $100 million ADA-to-Bitcoin and stablecoin conversion. That's a huge statement. Unlike Ethereum, it’s not just about the numbers—it’s about Cardano’s identity and its future in the cutthroat DeFi landscape. The goal?

Let’s not kid ourselves, the crypto space is filled with projects that claimed to do the impossible and ended up producing… you guessed it, moon dust. So, when I hear about a "rising star" in the DeFi world, I approach it with a healthy dose of skepticism. NEAR Protocol’s DeFi...
The crypto community sure does love an underdog story. We all desire to be first with news of a transformative project just over the horizon. This time, it could be the little guy that knocks off the big boys! Even though Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana are the big dogs...
It's a digital frontier, promising untold riches, but let's be honest, it often feels like a boys' club. Have you ever heard someone roll their eyes and say, “Oh, crypto? That’s not for me." It’s the understandable reaction, usually paired with a cynical eye roll. It's time we change that...
