Topics of Crypto World

Against the backdrop of the new U.S. tariff policies and rising stagflation risks, Grayscale analyzes how Bitcoin demonstrates its safe-haven qualities. With the weakening of the dollar and improvements in macroeconomic policies, Bitcoin could become the next "gold-like" asset of the era.

The crypto world is constantly changing, and the "stability" of stablecoins often faces numerous challenges. On April 10, the stablecoin sUSD within the Synthetix ecosystem experienced a significant depegging, with the lowest price dropping to $0.834. It is currently priced at $0.860, deviating approximately 14% from its $1 peg. This fluctuation quickly sparked discussions within the community, with many expressing concerns that it could signal the beginning of a new round of stablecoin crises.

On April 8, local time, the U.S. market experienced a triple whammy of stock, bond, and currency losses. In just two trading days, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged from around 3.9% to 4.5%, and concerns began to grow over the liquidity risks posed by hedge fund basis trades. As we pointed out in "Trump's 'Great Reset': Debt Resolution, From Virtual to Real, and Dollar Depreciation" and "U.S. Treasury Quarterly Report: The Second Liquidity Inflection Point," hedge funds may have accumulated $1-1.5 trillion in U.S. Treasury spot holdings through basis trading. Volatility driven by trade tensions could accelerate the unwinding of these basis trades, leading to a bond market sell-off. U.S. Treasuries are at the heart of dollar liquidity derivation (refer to "Financial Cracks in the New Macro Paradigm"), and bond sell-offs can quickly shrink core collateral for short-term financing, causing liquidity tightening. If the debt ceiling issue is resolved in May or June and U.S. Treasury issuance increases, it cou

Everything you know about Web3 fundraising is probably wrong. The ongoing tug-of-war between infrastructure and consumer-facing projects has become one of the industry’s longest-running narratives. What if everything we thought we knew about venture capital preference was wrong? What if, in fact, consumer projects have had the unequal advantage?

Cysic leverages a Proof-of-Compute consensus mechanism alongside a decentralized task scheduling system to distribute zero-knowledge proof generation across a network of Prover nodes. By integrating GPU and ASIC hardware, it improves computational efficiency and creates a high-performance, cost-effective ZK compute network.

Exploring Trump's tariff strategy and its impact on global markets, power dynamics, and economic manipulation.

Cysic is an infrastructure network focused on accelerating zero-knowledge proof (ZK) computation. By leveraging GPUs and custom ASICs, it delivers high-performance proof generation services, aiming to solve the challenges of high compute costs and low efficiency in ZK Rollups and AI applications. Its native token, CYS, is used to incentivize compute providers and build a decentralized proof marketplace.

CYS is the core token of Cysic, a decentralized compute network. It connects ZK proof generation and AI computing demand with compute supply through three key functions: governance rights, compute access rights, and financial reward rights. As the ComputeFi ecosystem evolves, CYS is becoming a critical value carrier for verifiable on-chain computation markets.

Over the past week, markets were primarily driven by the escalation of the US Iran conflict. WTI crude rose nearly 17% and returned above the $100 level, pushing US Treasury yields higher, with the 10 year reaching 4.44%, while the US dollar strengthened. The crypto market declined by more than 6% overall, and the VIX climbed to 31. On the capital side, BTC and ETH ETFs recorded about $500 million in net outflows mid week, followed by a modest rebound.

Compared to the bell curve distribution that technology adoption usually follows, there is a disproportionately high percentage share of those pioneering crypto AI adoption. This can be attributed to self-selection bias from participants already interested in crypto AI, but may also indicate that crypto AI adoption is still dominated by tech enthusiasts and has yet to gain mainstream traction, even within the crypto industry.

EIP-2935 brings Ethereum closer to statelessness by storing 8192 past block hashes, enabling efficient execution for lightweight and stateless clients.

Explore a DeFi-native TGE model that balances capital efficiency with long-term incentives, addressing the structural challenges of high FDV and low circulation, and guiding the evolution of a healthier token market structure.

Thus far, the only products that have been produced by crypto, and accepted by the rest of the financial system, are stablecoins and Bitcoin. DeFi is yet to take off meaningfully outside of crypto and decouple from trading volumes.

This article delves into Malaysia's approach to defining, taxing, and regulating cryptocurrencies, offering detailed insights into their legal status, tax collection methods, and the historical and future trajectory of regulatory policies.

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the significant impact of Trump's tariff policy on the Bitcoin mining industry. It first explains the mechanism of how tariffs work, and then reviews the strategies adopted by the Bitcoin mining sector during the U.S.-China trade war—particularly how mining equipment manufacturers sought to avoid tariffs by relocating their production bases.
