A Regulatory Squeeze A common narrative you hear in crypto is that regulatory clarity will cause institutional investors to flood into the space. It’s often cited as the trigger for the next bull run. However, each time news of regulations hits the headlines markets plummet, and last week’s settlement between the SEC and Kraken was no exception. While it’s true that forward-thinking regulations will help to remove a lot of uncertainty from the space, it’s doubtful it will cause the next bull run. As we’ve seen from the present market

How Loans Work A surprising number of people worldwide have little understanding of how the modern monetary system works. This lack of financial literacy can have significant impacts on individuals and their ability to become more productive members of society. For instance, many people think that debt is bad without understanding that it’s an essential ingredient for growth. All of the world’s major economies operate a debt-based model which is paramount to ensure continued growth and expansion. Without the ability to create debt, growth is dictated by the current level

Defi market making is a burgeoning industry in the decentralized finance space. AMMs, aka Automated Market Makers, have become a staple of the decentralized exchange industry, and are an excellent means of facilitating the exchange of assets at a desired price. However, market makers must be cautious about the risks involved. Among other things, borrowing inventory from other participants is a major challenge. In addition, the market maker must be mindful of the risks posed by price fluctuations. If the market maker is uninformed, he may not be able to

While many people consider valuation to be the most challenging aspect of NFT lending, the real issue is liquidity. When taking an NFT as collateral for a loan it would be a recipe for disaster to think it can be sold easily at all points in the market cycle. During 2021 NFTs experienced a huge uptake in their popularity. Some said this surge in demand was the cause of increased gas fees on the Ethereum network. However, in between the two peaks of this surge, there was a terrifying liquidity

Price and Value Warren Buffet famously said, “Price is what you pay, value is what you get.” When developing a new type of borrowing and lending platform one of the most complex aspects is understanding how to weigh both price and value. With fungible tokens such as Bitcoin and Ethereum assessing their value is relatively simple and straightforward. A protocol can take live data from a variety of market makers and adjust collateral values based on price and liquidity. However, when it comes to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) this gets much

Just as bull markets have narratives, so do bear markets, and the overriding narrative of this year has been regulation. Time and again the media has conflated a lack of regulation in crypto with the failures we’ve seen. It’s easy for people to conclude that as soon as regulation comes to crypto, investors will have confidence and flood back into the market. If that was true you would expect to see the stock market flooded with liquidity, but tech stocks are experiencing similar conditions to crypto. Not only is there

Continuing our theme of speaking with people in the world of finance and technology we asked insiders at ByteDance in Shanghai their views about blockchain technology. The results give some useful insight into one of the likely narratives of the next bull run.

These topics pull new users into the space and with their added liquidity the value of the market begins to rise. The present decline in value

These days you can’t scroll through YouTube without encountering videos foretelling the end of crypto and the collapse of the global financial system. The clickbait culture that invaded traditional journalism has now spread to citizen journalism too, but how realistic are all of these dramatic claims? Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) pervade the mainstream media. So much so that even people with little knowledge of the technology claim it’s all going to zero. If you’re looking for bottom signals this is the equivalent of everyone FOMOing in at the top.

For the past few weeks our MVP has been live on the public testnet and just two weeks ago we launched our bug bounty program. Already we’ve had some amazing feedback which has helped us tweak the platform ahead of its mainnet launch. While everyone usually hates bear markets because of the devastation they inflict on portfolios, as a project the additional time and space they give has proved invaluable. Not only have we been able to continue our development in a robust, methodical way, we’ve also had the time
