Read the chain

Price action is the easy part; what moves it is the story. Our markets coverage tracks spot and derivatives flows, ETF creations and redemptions, stablecoin supply and the liquidity conditions that decide whether a move holds. Every number is sourced, and we say when the data is an estimate.

Decentralised finance rewards people who read the contract, not the marketing. We cover lending markets, DEX liquidity, restaking and real-world assets with a bias towards the mechanics — where the yield comes from, who can change the parameters, and what happens when the collateral falls.

The plumbing decides what is possible above it. This is our coverage of base layers and rollups, bridges and sequencers, custody and settlement rails — upgrades that matter, outages that reveal how a system really works, and the trade-offs each design makes between speed, cost and trust.

Most losses are not exotic. We report exploits and exchange failures with the post-mortem detail that makes them useful — the attack path, the amount, the recovery — and pair them with practical guidance on keys, approvals and hardware wallets so the lesson survives the news cycle.

Regulation is written slowly and lands all at once. We follow the bills, consultations and enforcement actions shaping digital assets in the US, EU and Asia, reading the primary documents rather than the press release, and saying plainly what each one changes for exchanges, issuers and holders.
