While the past week has been somewhat tumultuous, to put it mildly, for both crypto and stock markets, it looks like digital tokens related to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are actually having a great time. The sector is in the green across the board as most DEX tokens are up anywhere between 1.3% and 317% over the last seven days, according to CryptoSlate’s data....

Congestion has been a theme for Ethereum over the past few months. Not to say that this is an explicitly bad thing but during times of volatility, it can cost over $50 to trade on Uniswap, and even more to complete more complex (and often pertinent) Ethereum transactions. This comes in spite of the fact that if you think about it, Ethereum...

Bitcoin had dipped from $24,300, its weekend highs, to $21,800 at the local lows, as Ethereum slipped under $600 for the first time in many weeks. This move resulted in a strong move lower in many smaller-cap altcoins, which fell against the dollar by around double the amount BTC did....

If you've been following Ethereum Twitter over the past few days, you've likely seen the term "blue chip" mentioned time and time again in reference to certain DeFi projects. In traditional finance, a blue-chip company is one that is seen as reputable and steady, with the ability to perform well in any market conditions. The same goes for crypto. The reason why so...

Bitcoin's price action over recent weeks and months has undoubtedly been bullish. In the face of macroeconomic turmoil and the worst pandemic in a century, the leading cryptocurrency has shot higher. In the past week alone, the price of one BTC has gained just under $2,000. The cryptocurrency is expected to move even higher in the weeks ahead as the fundamentals and technicals...

Synthetix declines on hiatus amid low volatility and volume. Recovery is likely to hit a snag at the 21-day SMA, which could send SNX back to the drawing board.

While Ethereum has become much less congested than it was just weeks ago, transaction fees are still far from cheap. It may cost $10-20 to complete interactions with decentralized finance protocols such as Compound, MakerDAO, or Synthetix. That's not enough to break the bank, of course, but it restricts many users from accessing these protocols and the rest of the Ethereum ecosystem. This...

Most of the tokens were...

Blockchain analysts recorded a series of suspicious withdrawals from the company's hot wallets that suggested the crypto exchange was hacked. Around eight hours after the withdrawals, it was revealed that a hack had happened, through which millions were lost in...

DeFi platform Synthetix [SNX]...

It's been quite the year for DeFi. But due to natural constraints on the Ethereum blockchain, this period of growth has meant that transaction fees have quickly reached unsustainable levels for most users where it makes little sense to transact small sums. Synthetix, especially, has suffered from these high fees. Due to how the protocol works, users looking to interact with Synthetix's multiple...
