  • prePO Will Provide Retail Investors With Exposure to Pre-Public Assets

    ByAndrew Turner

    Many retail investors are trying to chase the high returns that are achievable when buying tokens via a public sale, whether it is in the form of a crypto-based initial coin offering (ICO) or during an initial public offering (IPO) on a stock exchange. While acquiring assets as soon as they are publicly available usually proves to be a great buying opportunity, average ICO and IPO returns on investment pale in comparison to yields generated in private markets.

    Top 3 Coins to Watch – Week 40

    ByAndrew Turner

    Last week was marked by the China FUD – the fear, uncertainty and doubt that spread among crypto investors following the further crackdown on cryptocurrency transactions and trading by China’s central bank. While the total cryptocurrency market capitalization dropped by almost 5% to reach a low of $1.82 trillion in the day following the release of the news, cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology once again proved that they cannot simply be banned. Although week 39 started with red numbers, at the end of the week the total market capitalization has already climbed to $2.18 trillion. It seems that China’s restrictive measures only led to further decentralization of the space as Chinese investors and traders simply switched to decentralized trading platforms that are not operated by centralized entities and do not implement know-your-customer (KYC) checks. It is therefore not surprising that this week’s selection consists of 3 DeFi protocols.

  • Introducing Sovryn – Bitcoin’s Fastest-Growing Ecosystem

    ByAndrew Turner

    For years, Bitcoin has been forced to sit on the sidelines and watch as the trends go by the crypto industry, attracting multiple new users and developers to the sector of the blockchain that offers various services of development platforms.

    Top 3 Coins to Watch – Week 39

    ByAndrew Turner

    Week 38 was the last full week of Q3 2021, so it is time to take a quick look back on how the cryptocurrency market has performed this quarter. The total market capitalization at the beginning of the quarter was $1.4 trillion and it climbed up to above $1.9 trillion at the end of Week 38, which represents an almost 37% increase. While ETH and BTC led the rally in August, this changed in September, when altcoins, such as Polkadot, Avalanche, Solana, Fantom and Algorand, stepped into the limelight of the community’s attention. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing digital art, collectibles, and in-game items were still very popular, and, for now, it does not look like the interest in these tokens is dying out. In fact, two of the three projects featured in this week’s Top Coins to Watch article are from the NFT sector. Although pushed a little bit more in the background of media attention, DeFi protocols are still evolving and expanding. The total value locked (TVL) in DeFi increased from below $70 billion to over $85 billion throughout Q3.
