Despite commanding a market capitalization of approximately $116 billion and ranking among the top five cryptocurrencies globally, XRP has remained conspicuously absent from the staking revolution that has swept through digital assets. That changed in early December when Firelight, a new DeFi protocol (and there’s a ton of activity in the space lately - like DeFi Mullet), launched what it calls a fundamentally different approach to both XRP staking and decentralized finance insurance.

The timin

Why XRP's $116 Billion Market Just Got Its First Real Staking Protocol: Firelight

At long last, the landscape of decentralized finance is shifting toward a model that rivals the speed of centralized exchanges. Thanks to platforms like Drift Protocol, a premier decentralized trading platform built on the high-performance Solana blockchain. 

Known for low latency, the protocol consistently pushes the boundaries of on-chain derivatives. With its latest iteration, the platform aims to bridge the gap between DeFi transparency and institutional-grade trading by introducing a syste

The Evolution of On-Chain Trading: Exploring Solana Drift v3

The DeFi sector promises a financial future free from human intermediaries. This innovation ushers the responsibility to maintain operational integrity. The Solana network, celebrated for its speed and high throughput, has faced a specific, structural challenge: fragmented entry points for external digital assets.

Recognizing that the growth of Solana - and DeFi as a whole - depends on solving this core interoperability challenge, the team at Wormhole Labs has stepped forward. They are actively

Grayscale ETF portfolio just added two new products: the DOGE and XRP ETFs went live following NYSE Arca approval. The products, known as Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG) and Grayscale XRP Trust ETF (GXRP), are the result of Grayscale converting its private funds to full-fledged Grayscale Crypto ETFs, widening their reach.

Grayscale wants to capitalize on the recent demand for altcoin ETFs and expand their customer base, of course. But the launches didn't exactly go as planned. And while the

Ethereum has transformed from energy-intensive PoW to PoS through The Merge, then tackled layer-2 scaling with Dencun. High fees and fragmentation persist as core hurdles for broader adoption.

The Fusaka Upgrade, set for mainnet activation around December 3, 2025, is the largest advance since The Merge, blending 11 to 12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals for scalability and efficiency.

We think that this upgrade goes beyond mere code tweaks - it frankly reshapes economics by prioritizing layer-1 

Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade: Everything You Need To Know

Memecoins went from a crypto inside joke to a multi‑billion‑dollar casino almost overnight, and regulators are clearly done pretending it is just harmless fun. 

The new technical proposal regarding crypto regulation submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lays out a blueprint for separating “legal” memecoins from a long list of tokens that would be labeled “non‑compliant” and effectively pushed out of regulated markets. 

This seems to be a stress test for how far a rules‑b

Memecoin Regulation Proposal: What Do We Know So Far

Crypto adoption keeps rising, but most people still feel stuck between simple crypto apps and the more technical side of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. You get convenience on one end and flexibility on the other - but the gap here could slow down real usage. That’s where the DeFi Mullet started catching attention across platforms in recent years. It reflects a format that mixes a familiar interface with DeFi features in the background.

You’re seeing this name pop up more often because 

The Buzz Around the DeFi Mullet: What it Means for Crypto Adoption

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become one of the most hyped investment products in the crypto market. It’s only since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US in early 2024 that institutional interest around the asset grew at the breakneck pace I’ve come to see. 

Major players like BlackRock and Fidelity brought credibility and capital, pushing assets under management (AUM) in Bitcoin ETFs to over $50 billion globally within the first year. For traditional investors and large fund

How Bitcoin ETFs Are Changing Institutional Crypto Investment

The crypto ETF market has grown rapidly in the past two years, driven by rising interest from both retail and institutional investors and signalling the adoption that everyone in the industry always wanted. But this isn't market maturity, of course. Even with this momentum, crypto regulations continue to shape how new products reach you, and the process is still evolving.

The recent SEC approval of listing standards has brought fresh attention to this space, as the changes give exchanges cleare

How the SEC Approval of New Listing Rules Might Unlock a New Wave of Crypto ETFs

Crypto regulation in the US stands at a crossroads, shaped by tension between the sector’s hunger for innovation and the demands of established securities law. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the body they’ve been dealing with, tasked with maintaining market integrity, ensuring transparency, and protecting investors. 

Existing rules have been crafted for intermediaries, not the decentralized ecosystems driving blockchain and DeFi growth. But as projects like lending protocols an

What is the SEC Innovation Exemption for DeFi All About?

July 2025 marked a turning point for crypto regulation in the US - something many of us in the industry had been waiting for. After years of uncertainty and mixed interpretations from regulators, the US President Donald Trump signed the Crypto GENIUS Act into law. 

It was the first real indication that policymakers are ready to work with innovation instead of against it. But what does the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and other assets really aim to fix, and why was it so necessary? 

In this post,

What is the Crypto GENIUS Act? Things To Know

For almost the entire history of the cryptocurrency space, its tremendous growth, has come with constant uncertainty around how it should be regulated. The fundamental arguments are solid, of course - crypto regulation not only protects investors and consumers but also helps legitimize this evolving industry to wider adoption. But governments have been slow to move on this.

In 2025, a major step toward clearer digital asset rules came with the introduction of the CLARITY Act in the USA.

Forex trading has long been the go-to arena for traders who thrive on liquidity and constant market movement. Strategies developed in the foreign exchange market have given traders clear frameworks for making decisions. 

Now, I see many of them expanding that trading knowledge into crypto derivatives trading, where the same principles can often be adapted to instruments like crypto futures and options. 

In India, the crypto market is shifting fast - derivatives, particularly futures and option

Forex Trading Strategies That Work in Crypto Derivatives Trading

Whenever I speak to new traders in the market, one question always sparks debate - crypto vs forex trading. Both these markets are massive in scale, and both have captured investor interest for different reasons. 

According to recent reports, the forex market’s size in India has doubled in just four years, increasing from $32 billion in 2020 to around $60 billion in 2024. 

While the forex market is booming, India has also led the world in crypto adoption for two straight years with an ever-inc

Crypto vs Forex Trading: Understand Which Market Matches Your Risk Appetite

Crypto options trading is witnessing a major shift, with Delta seeing over $4 billion in trade volumes in India alone. The space is no longer just for early adopters, but even experienced equity traders and new-age investors are showing increasing interest in crypto derivatives. From May 2024 to May 2025, the global monthly volume in this segment grew by a sharp 47%.

What was once a niche space is now attracting participation from both advanced crypto users and traditional market participants.

Polkadot is a scalable, multi-chain protocol that connects multiple blockchains. This way, Polkadot allows for information and assets to be moved across blockchains that were previously incompatible (such as Bitcoin and Ethereum) in a trustless way.  Polkadot’s notable features include its use of ‘parachains’ or parallel blockchains; these chains share the processing load of the main Polkadot blockchain. This allows the network to be quite speedy and scalable, in comparison to most of its contem

DeFi liquidity pools are one of the central technologies among the DeFi technology stack currently powering almost all of the top projects within the decentralized finance universe. These liquidity pools can work to enable decentralized trading of cryptocurrencies, crypto lending, generation of rewards in yield farming, and a lot more. In case you are new to the DeFi world and don’t know much about DeFi liquidity pools, in this post we give you a detailed look at this particular attribute of the

What Are Liquidity Pools in DeFi and How Do They Work?

Yield farming has been one of the popular concepts in the DeFi (Decentralised Finance), allowing users to generate more income on their existing crypto assets using different strategies. This may include lending, arbitraging, providing liquidity, and margin trading, among others, as a method to generate more crypto. This has proven to be a much better way for investing in cryptocurrencies than the previous method of HODLing crypto assets. We had previously talked about the basics of yield farmin

What is Leveraging, and How Does It Work?

Leveraging is a tool that allows a trader to use borrowed funds to open and manage positions greater than their capital. Trading DeFi coins with leverage, when done right, can help you take up larger positions in a cryptocurrency of your choice and amplify profits. In crypto derivatives trading, the concept of leverage is slowly coming to the mainstream as more and more traders successfully make use of it. When trading DeFi coins with leverage you can b

How to Trade DeFi Coins With Leverage?

If you’ve been in the know about cryptocurrencies for a while now, you must have heard of DeFi, one of the newest hype trains within the crypto space. Indeed, the decentralized finance sector of cryptocurrency has witnessed rapid growth in recent years as the various use cases of DeFi compete with traditional banks and other centralized financial institutions. Decentralized finance connects protocols in a simple manner, enabling dApp (decentralized application) developers to easily implement new

Outlook for DeFi in 2021

Overview of Delta's AMM Pools

Our overarching goal behind launching AMM Pools is to democratize market making. In TradFi, market making has been the dominion of a handful of specialized firms. These firms develop proprietary trading strategies and typically use their own capital to make markets and generate an attractive stream of largely uncorrelated returns. A typical retail investor does not have:

 * Capability to develop robust trading strategies.
 * Maintain the IT infra required to run h

How Delta’s AMM Pools Work – Democratizing Market Making

While blockchain technology has certainly democratized finance, it still operates in two forms - centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Both are equally important players in the cryptocurrency industry and make good use of the distributed ledger technology. Both concepts have evolved to solve separate challenges and continue to revolutionize the field.


CeFi Exchanges vs DeFi Exchanges


#1 Decentralization

DeFi, as the name suggests, is an entirely decentralized system, 

CeFi exchanges vs. DeFi exchanges

The term DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, refers to an ecosystem of financial applications built upon blockchain networks. The DeFi movement aims to create permissionless, open-source payment protocols not unlike the already existing fiat payment networks. Except that the DeFi systems follow the core concept of cryptocurrencies - truly decentralized, distributed finance where no centralized authority figure/institution holds any semblance of control over your money. Bitcoin, the very first crypto

The Different Use Cases Of DeFi

Within the DeFi world, liquidity mining is the process through which a cryptocurrency exchange platform can reward the pool of users who provide the platform with liquidity. Essentially, it’s a market making strategy that allows anyone from any corner of the world to lend out their cryptocurrency on a particular platform, and earn some passive income. The Compound Finance protocol is a decentralized lending application on the Ethereum blockchain. It lets any user withdraw assets or provide liqui

What is Compound’s Liquidity Mining ($COMP)?

DeFi, or decentralized finance, continues to enable entirely new and convenient financial models for the masses. One we’re choosing to focus on in this post - is the concept of flash loans. Flash loans allow you to take credit worth millions of dollars, without any collateral, to be paid back within the duration of a single transaction. Before understanding what flash loans are, and knowing how they’re useful, it is important to know how they’re even possible in the first place. If you’ve traded

Understanding Flash Loans

Yield farming is the latest buzzword around the DeFi (decentralized finance) world. The basic concept of yield farming involves generating more returns with your existing crypto: yield farmers lend out their crypto assets and earn more crypto as reward. Since DeFi is permissionless, anyone from anywhere can join the network - all they’d require is a functional internet connection. This also means anyone can try out yield farming strategies to lend out their crypto for some passive income; theref

What is Bancor v2?

Bancor is a liquidity protocol that sanctions automated and decentralized exchanges over Ethereum and across blockchains. Users can deploy and customize AMM (Automated Market-Maker) liquidity pools, trade tokens, and provide liquidity to the reserve pools. Since liquidity providers can add or extract liquidity very easily and without requiring the authorization of a central figure, Bancor is a decentralized exchange platform (DEX). Back in 2017, Bancor launched some of the fi

What is $YFI?

In the simplest of definitions, $YFI is the governance token for Yearn.Finance, a DeFi yield farming network running on the Ethereum blockchain. DeFi, for those unaware, is decentralized finance, a crypto concept that provides all the conventional financial services with one added benefit - there’s no centralized figure like a financial institute or government to hold control over your money.Yearn.Finance has been applauded time and again for bringing forth one of the most decentr

What is Curve.fi?

Curve.fi, or Curve Finance, is essentially a DEX (decentralized exchange) platform for stablecoin swaps (like USDC to USDT) at low transaction fees. It’s quite similar to Uniswap in the sense that it uses liquidity pools. All liquidity providers get to benefit from the interests earned, and the creators behind Curve.fi do not hold any power over your tokens. Therefore it’s non-custodial. To gain a better understanding of Curve.fi’s features, let’s stack the better known Uniswa
