The decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem is going mainstream, with a surge in institutional participation that is reshaping the industry. Institutions are coming with billions of dollars of capital and a mindset to capitalize on the mass adoption taking place in crypto markets. New cryptocurrencies with real utility are seeing their prices exploding, which can be seen on exchanges like Binance. With institutional investment being directed in this area of the market, we will continue to see DeFi grow significantly.
Decentralized lending is a prime example of where institutional investment is taking place. As John Glover, CIO of the decentralized lending platform Ledn, explained, “We saw a very healthy jump in institutional demand in July, which has remained steady since then.”...

The concept of blockchain technology is a recent one but has gained a lot of importance these days due to its wide applications in a plethora of fields. The term blockchain, as the name suggests, is made of various blocks, indicating a list of records and chain refers to the way in which these blocks have been linked using cryptography.
Every block contains information about the previous block, forming a link or chain.
The biggest advantage in case of blockchain technology is that the information cannot be altered. The blockchain is handled by peer-to-peer network adhering to a particular protocol.
Thus, once...

Stablecoins (or stable coins) seem to be more popular than sliced bread nowadays. I am just kidding of course, but crypto tokens that are backed, attached or tied to something that is deemed “stable” have certainly gained in popularity over the last year or so.
This call to fame is mostly a result of the price volatility and sharp decline in crypto prices that we’ve seen for most part of 2022 so far.
What are the pros and cons of stablecoins?

In recent years, despite the buzz around cryptocurrencies, many people still do not fully understand what it is or how it has the potential to impact our economy, banking system, and other industries.
What’s more surprising is that many people are blindly getting into investing in cryptocurrencies without even fully understanding it.
Basically, a cryptocurrency is a digital asset that is represented by unalterable entries that are made in a distributed, shared database or a ledger which is spread out over a network of computers.
Each computer has a...

What it does do, is provide you with an easy to reference combination of some of the most popular cryptocurrency resources.
You might have already heard of some of these and some could be completely brand-spanking new to you. Either way, all of these come highly recommended and are receiving rave reviews. Who knows, Satoshi Nakamoto himself—or themselves—might have even checked out one or two of them.

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are becoming an attractive fundraising method for companies looking to launch projects, with several startups and established companies choosing ICOs over IPOs (Initial Public Offering in stock markets), amid low regulatory requirements and the potential to raise high levels of funding.

A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is designed to work as a medium of exchange. It makes use of computer cryptography to secure and confirm transactions as well as to have control over the distribution of new units of that particular cryptocurrency.
Essentially, these digital currencies are limited entries within a database that no one can change unless they fulfill a set of very specific conditions.
Cryptocurrencies have become very popular investments recently, as they start to gain mainstream acceptance by major banks and financial institutions. Several online brokers let you get in on the action by offering...

What is Blockchain?
Blockchain technology operates as a common, cryptographically verified ledger, distributed across a broad decentralized network of computers (or nodes), largely known for its use in recording value transactions and exchanges.
Each ledger entry is considered a “block” in the broader “chain,” and each block is cryptographically validated by a consensus-based algorithm which is computed across the node network.
Each block is not added to the chain...
Let’s be honest: if you haven’t yet embraced the advent of cryptocurrency, you’re falling behind the curve. Early adopters made thousands (or even millions of dollars) off of their initial investment, and those who deal in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies today experience a host of conveniences and benefits because of the revolutionary technology.
As big banks and governments start to understand how to adopt blockchain technology to suit their purposes, it’s becoming clear that crypto means secure, instantaneous transactions with little room for security breaches, meddling and fraud.
If you still think that crypto is primarily a fringe phenomenon, just look...
Like almost any cryptocurrency in the market, Ethereum was making headlines at the end of 2017 with its explosive annual growth in ETH/USD of around 10,000%. Although things have changed radically since then, many still expect Ether to “go to the moon.” But is it a realistic expectation?
Where We Stand Now

Blockchain was first introduced along with the invention of Bitcoin in 2008, with the practical invention coming in the year 2009.
You might not know this, but, the concept of electronic cash or digital...

The world of technological innovations keeps evolving and hardly waits for those unwilling to adopt such changes. It is widely said that cryptocurrency will do to fiat (local currency) what email did to writing of letters.
However, the manner with which most of us in this part of the world heard about bitcoin closed our minds to the beautiful opportunities presented by cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was created in 2008, but most people heard about it through Ponzi schemes many years later.
The horrible experiences people had with such platforms has made it so difficult for them to embrace cryptocurrency for what it...
