  • Clock Starts Ticking for Filecoin Investors to Cash Out

    [CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that early investors in Filecoin were able to realize 100x returns when the mainnet launched yesterday. In fact, Filecoin specifically created a lockup that would force investors to hold onto FIL for at least six months after the mainnet launch. The story has been  updated to reflect the correct information. In addition, Filecoin raised $205 million during its ICO, not $257 million.] Filecoin had a record breaking $205M token sale...

Coinbase Wallet is the US exchange’s non-custodial wallet and dapp browser (not the exchange itself) and the integration will allow users to view their balances and send transactions on Optimism’s testnet, according to the post.

    BitMEX Charges Highlight Case for Real DeFi

    The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today filed charges against BitMEX and its owners and operators including CEO Arthur Hayes for operating a trading platform without CFTC approval, and for failing to implement know-your-customer procedures, a customer information program, and anti-money laundering procedures. At first glance this is concerning for DeFi, a financial system which hails open access—read: lack of KYC and AM—at its core. But the key here is enforceability. For most D...

    Some DeFi Forks Are Evolving From Copies to Unique Projects

    In the last month, almost every major DeFi project has been forked. Some of the forks have even been forked themselves. But do these near-copies of projects actually add any value? Or are they simply opportunistic money-grabs? Like many things in life, the truth isn’t always clear-cut. Each fork, from SushiSwap to Swerve, to Cream, has its own unique value proposition—or lack thereof. While they originally started off as pure copy-and-paste clones, forks are growing ever more sophisticated. Alon...

    Here’s Why a Meme Coin Soared During a Market Sell-Off

    "Be Greedy in Private," Urges DeFi Investor Riding the Fair Launch Trend

    In the latest DeFi drama, a developer and investor behind a token called SAFE made a mistake when deploying a piece of code—and now they’re both calling each other out and publishing their private chats, as the token tanks. But this petty squabble points at a bigger problem: the latest DeFi trend of community-owned projects and fair launches has raised the "virtue bar" to a level that most can’t or won’t reach. Greed is good, Gordon Gekko said. But just… quietly. Setting the Stage Projects will...

    SushiSwap: What happened, What it Means for Defi and What's Next.

    Decentralized finance is living through what may become one of its most defining moments. In less than 48 hours, a two-week-old upstart will attempt to drain liquidity from DeFi’s largest exchange, in a never-before-attempted vampire-like attack, which right now has $1.3B in tokens at stake. Here’s a quick summary: An anonymous developer copied Uniswap to make SushiSwap, which was meant to be exactly the same, except it added a token, SUSHI, and token rewards for liquidity providers and token ho...

In less than a week, SushiSwap has aggregated more than $800M worth of tokens, or about 80% of total Uniswap assets, according to Sushiboard, which tracks the project’s data.

    Yam Finance, a yield farmers paradise which aggregated $600M in TVL in less than 48 hours, will direct 1% of its future treasury to Gitcoin Grants’s public goods funding upon its forthcoming V3 migration. Inspired by a community tweet, Gitcoin CEO Kevin Owocki took to the governance forum to propose that Yam’s bountiful treasury, which had previously aggregated $500k in V1 before being lost to a bug, “pass it along” to the Tech Grants category.

    What every Bitcoiner warns against happened today: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the U.S. monetary authority will let inflation shoot above its 2% target to privilege the labor market. The obvious argument to make is that “this is good for Bitcoin.” It’s a tired meme, but right now it seems to be especially appropriate. And sure enough, Bitcoin jumped 2% after Powell’s speech to ~$11,550. Traditional markets also reacted, with the S&P 500 rallying to new highs, while yields on long...
