International markets have perked up since Monday’s announcement of a 90-day break in the trade tariff battle between the United States and China. This pause in hostilities between the world’s two biggest economies has seemingly diluted the immediate threats to global growth that have been hanging over financial markets for much too long. And the respite has injected a new dose of confidence into...
In a historic moment for the crypto institutional world, Galaxy Digital hit the Nasdaq on May 16, 2025. Founded in 2018 by prominent crypto proponent and former hedge fund manager Mike Novogratz, the crypto investment and asset management firm now officially resides at the intersection of traditional finance and the digital asset economy—having secured a spot among the most influential players...
Leading AI projects within the Solana ecosystem are experiencing a wave of investor confidence. On-chain data indicates that the projects are seeing net inflows that are growing substantially. Among the Solana-native AI projects, one is clearly outpacing the others in terms of both investment interest and market activity. And that is: Virtuals. In the past 24 hours, Virtuals has net bought $353,...
A report put out recently by Dune Analytics and called State of Wallets 2025 sheds light on Africa’s rapidly expanding DeFi ecosystem. While the continent may be behind in most metrics (like overall transaction volume and wallet balances), it is seen as the next big opportunity for Web3 growth, with increased activity in onboarding new users to decentralized finance, digital assets, and crypto-...
A monumental milestone for blockchain finance was reached when Ethereum registered an on-chain stablecoin transaction volume of an never-before-seen $908 billion in April 2025. The figure that Techinasia got for us not only highlights stablecoins’ ever-closer integration into the real-world financial system but also underscores that system’s clear preference for Ethereum and, by extension, for...
Marinade Finance, a top liquid staking protocol on Solana, has made a big move toward increasing the value of its native token MNDE. The company, which is organized as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), recently approved a governance proposal — MIP.11 — that directs a sizable chunk of revenue flowing into its treasury to go toward buying back tokens. Menelau stated that the use of...
Uniswap, the protocol that led the way in creating automated market makers (AMMs) in DeFi, has now brought forth its most far-reaching update yet with the arrival of Uniswap v4. Much more than a straightforward iteration, this version is being called a “canvas” for constructing new kinds of decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The main innovation is around something new called “hooks”—a programmable...
A major shift in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape has occurred. The BNB Chain has now officially surpassed Ethereum and Solana to become the #1 blockchain for DEX trading volume. In the past 24 hours, the network recorded a staggering $4.19 billion in trading activity. That figure is basically the result of the DeFi adoption happening on BNB Chain. DeFi, for whatever reason, appears to...
A notable event for Bitcoin DeFi has just occurred: BOB has launched its BitVM Bridge on the testnet, working with Fiamma Labs to accomplish this. The bridge now exists and is functional, serving as a pathway for Bitcoin to flow in and out of the Ethereum network. The bridge aims to allow Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals to be executed in a way that doesn’t require users to trust a third-party...
Following several months during which it trailed behind the market momentum of Bitcoin, Ethereum now appears to be making a serious comeback. This up-and-coming cryptocurrency has been gaining pay dirt from several sources: 1. Institutional Interest: Ethereum is seeing a surge in interest not just from retail investors but also from prestigious financial institutions. 2. Supply Dynamics: The...
