A coin is the native money of a blockchain; a token is an asset that lives on top of one. The distinction is small but it shapes risk, fees and behaviour.
The attacker netted under $1M, but the mechanism (an unguarded oracle write with no liquidation delay) is the real warning for every BTC-collateralized lending book.
Meme coins are built on jokes and hype, not utility — and they're one of crypto's riskiest corners. Here's how they work and why caution is essential.
The partnership reclassifies yield as 'activity-based' by routing USDC through Ethena's delta-neutral basis trade — a structural workaround the bank lobby didn't anticipate and may not be able to…
USDe pays double-digit yield by going long spot crypto and shorting the same coin's perpetual futures. It works — until funding flips negative.
Most retail holders cannot redeem stablecoins directly with the issuer. The dollar price works only above minimums, and the rules vary by token, jurisdiction, and bank partner.
Coins run a blockchain, fungible tokens sit on one, and NFTs hold unique data. Fungibility, not the standard, is the property that splits them apart.
Most stablecoins look identical on a surface. The difference is what's behind them, and that's exactly why some broke their peg while others didn't.
WLFI raised hundreds of millions in a presale promising governance over a treasury tied to USD1. Here is what the token actually does, and what it does not.
GENIUS Act, Circle's federal charter and a Bank of America pivot sketch the same arc: dollars onchain, whether crypto likes it or not.

A $696M ETF outflow, a sticky 3.4% PCE and an $8B cash wall at Strategy sit on top of a chain quietly routing BTC and ETH onto exchanges.
WLFI gives holders a say in the World Liberty Financial protocol, but the fine print caps that say. Here is what the docs actually say about rights and risk.
Sky backs its dollar with crypto collateral; Ethena earns it with perpetual futures; Frax tried a middle path and nearly collapsed. Here is how each model works and where each one breaks.
Crypto futures let traders bet on price with leverage — magnifying both gains and losses. Here's how futures markets work and why they're so dangerous.
Ethena's USDe pays yield through ETH perp funding rates, not bank deposits. The mechanism is clever but the trade has real failure modes that can collapse headline APY.
While institutions pour capital into Circle, Citadel and Stripe-adjacent plays, retail attention is still parked on a Bitcoin chart that's going nowhere fast.
Circle mints, Tether shuffles, and State Street launches a reserve fund — beneath the ETF noise, the dollar rails are being rebuilt.
Spot ETF outflows crossed $6B while BlackRock quietly rotated coins to Coinbase Prime. The bid is gone; the conviction isn't.
