I recently came across some news about Vercel. The CEO of the front-end development platform, Guillermo Rauch, apparently revealed plans for an IPO at a conference in San Francisco.
The numbers are quite intriguing. In early 2024, the annual revenue was $100 million, but by the end of February, it had grown to $340 million. That's more than a threefold increase in just two years. Such rapid growth is, I believe, a clear sign that they are successfully riding the wave of AI.
Rauch pointed out that about 30% of the applications deployed on Vercel's platform are generated by AI agents. We are ent

With the Bitcoin market looking lackluster, I heard that the inflow pace of institutional money is surprisingly solid. The head of major digital asset platform iConnections points this out; when you look at the movements between fund managers and investors, the atmosphere has clearly been changing over the past few years.
There was the FTX collapse in 2022 and the subsequent period of turmoil in the crypto-asset market. Back then, things were truly frozen. But starting around last year, it seems the mood of “wanting to move funds” and “actually wanting to invest” has returned. Washington’s reg

In the crypto industry, there are actually several areas where no one has truly started to make serious money yet. Recently, I’ve been thinking about this theme, and including ideas around payments, AI, and infrastructure, I’ve identified five businesses with the potential to exceed a billion dollars. Today, I want to share them.
The first idea is the concept of OneKYC. KYC verification is a tedious process where users upload documents, take selfies, and wait for approval every time they use a new exchange or app, but this aims to streamline it into a one-time process that can be used across m

I was curious about the movement of gold ETFs, so I looked into it and found that the world's largest SPDR Gold Trust apparently reduced its holdings by as much as 18 tons in a single day on March 5th. It’s the largest reduction since April 2013. The current holdings have decreased to about 1,081 tons.
Is there some movement happening across the entire financial market, or is this just a correction... Since the movements of large funds like this can influence the overall market, it seems worth paying close attention.

Ripple has announced that it has obtained a license in the UK, drawing significant market attention. In addition to the license for an electronic money institution, it is also reported to have completed cryptocurrency registration with the Financial Conduct Authority. This is a major regulatory milestone for digital asset companies, isn’t it?
Looking at Ripple’s compliance strategy, approval in the UK following the EU’s EMI license gives the impression that the company is steadily strengthening its business base in Europe. The company’s clear intent to serve as a bridge between traditional fin

Polkadot has finally entered a major turning point. On that day, March 14, 2026, the network shifted from an unlimited inflation model to a scarcity-based economy with a fixed cap of 2.1 billion DOT. This was a community-led decision supported by over 80%, fundamentally changing the protocol’s token issuance method.
The significance of this change is actually quite substantial. Until now, Polkadot had been issuing 120 million DOT annually, but with this reduction, the yearly issuance drops to approximately 56.88 million tokens. That’s a cut of over 52%. It will then gradually decrease every tw

Recently, Anthropic’s developments have been drawing attention. It seems they may be embarking on IPO preparations in earnest.
According to reports, Anthropic has hired Wilson Sonsini, a major law firm, and is moving forward with preparations for going public. There’s talk that it could potentially list on the market as early as sometime in 2026.
Even more interesting is that the company is considering a private funding round with a valuation of over $300 billion. It also appears to be in discussions with multiple major investment banks regarding its listing plans. However, these are still at

Nearly half of 2026 has passed, but looking at the movements in the cryptocurrency market, I am still concerned about the prediction accuracy of AI models. Especially interesting is how analysis tools like Grok are starting to present scenarios for XRP, Cardano, and Ethereum. In reality, the future of this market is intricately linked to regulatory clarity, institutional investor inflows, and retail investor psychology.
As for the latest updates on Ripple, the current price of XRP is hovering around $1.43, and the focus is on where it will go from here. Some analyses suggest a target of $8.00

The recent Bitcoin price is quite interesting. It's hovering around $77,600, but some forecasts in mid-April suggest it won't exceed $74,200. It seems that increasing regulatory scrutiny might be making widespread adoption more difficult. Considering that, there's a good chance that the current price range could be the ceiling. It looks like such predictions are also coming from Kalshi. Well, no one can predict how the market will move, but I believe regulatory risk is definitely an important factor that can't be ignored. What do you all think?

The founder of Curve is issuing an important warning to the industry. Looking at recent issues with Aave and rsETH, it becomes clear how serious security vulnerabilities are in the DeFi sector. These are not just technical bugs but structural problems arising from centralized single points of failure.
Michael Egorov argues that to prevent such avoidable accidents, the entire industry needs to establish security standards. Currently, DeFi relies too much on reactive approaches that respond after problems occur. A proactive stance that minimizes vulnerabilities beforehand is required.
From the p

Dogecoin has recently shown some interesting technical movements. It is currently trading at $0.10, with a modest gain of +1.09% over the past 24 hours, but the downward pressure from the past few weeks still remains.
What I am paying attention to is the change in indicators. The MACD has turned green, and the line has crossed above the signal line. This suggests that the momentum of the decline may be weakening. Looking at the monthly chart, the bullish and bearish pattern analysis is intriguing, with a Morning Star-like candlestick pattern forming.
There was a long period where traders were

Recently, major media outlets have been publishing more articles that criticize cryptocurrencies, but this time, it seems the New York Times took a particularly harsh stance and wrote as if they were “meaningless and full of scammers.” In response, Ordelotti, Ripple’s CLO, spoke out.
He also works as the president of the National Crypto Association, and this latest proposal is about directly objecting to the paper by saying it has a “negligent and outdated view.” It’s not just a simple backlash—he’s trying to set the tone of the piece right by providing accurate information.
What’s interesting

Recently, there have been reports that the U.S. Department of the Treasury has proposed tighter regulations on DeFi platforms. I think this is a pretty significant move for the crypto market.
In a report submitted to Congress based on the GENIUS Act, it recommends imposing the same level of obligations on anti-money laundering (AML) measures—what is called AML—regarding decentralized financial applications as on counter-terrorism financing measures. In other words, AML is a basic framework to prevent financial crimes, but until now, there have been many gray areas in the crypto sector.
What’s

Recently, there has been a noticeable movement in Congress to clarify the regulatory definitions of swap transactions. This is an attempt to legally organize the previously ambiguous parts.
What is noteworthy is the effort to draw a more precise distinction about which swaps fall under the exclusive supervision of the federal government. Returning to the fundamental principle of exercising authority based on Article I of the Constitution, they aim to make the legal framework itself the sole determinant, rather than relying on subjective interpretations or unofficial tests.
This is big news for

Buterin has come up with an interesting metric. At the ETH ChiangMai event in late January, he proposed the concept of a "Walkaway Test," which apparently measures the true independence of dApps.
So, what are dApps? They are decentralized applications that run on blockchain, but there's been criticism that many existing dApps are not fully decentralized. What Buterin wants to point out is, if the development team suddenly disappears, or the servers go down, can users continue to use the app normally? That’s what true independence means.
Currently, even though blockchain technology itself is de

I’ve been trying out various EAA supplements lately, but choosing the right one is really difficult. Whether you want to properly take in essential amino acids or prioritize how easy it is to drink changes which recommended product you should go with. If you really look at the ingredients, Myprotein’s Impact EAA is excellent with a content rate of 79.6%, and the low calories of 28 kcal per serving are a plus. However, it has a bitter aftertaste, so if you’re choosing based on taste, another product might be better.
Actually, if you want a balance between taste and ingredients, EAA options like

It seems that Clover Health has announced a personnel change. The CFO is stepping down. They plan to appoint an interim CFO.
I'm curious about how such changes in the management team will impact the market. At the same time, they have also reaffirmed their full-year performance outlook through the end of 2026.
A change in CFO often suggests a shift in management strategy, so I’m interested in the details around that.
Since they are appointing an interim CFO, it likely means they haven't yet found a permanent successor. The future developments will depend on the actions related to the CFO

It seems that the rush to buy gold in Vietnam is turning into something interesting. Investors are flooding into banks in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and long lines are forming to purchase gold bars. Since state-owned banks have started direct sales, everyone seems to have moved all at once.
Vietnam's gold prices are in a somewhat complicated situation. Last month, the price rose to $3,620 per tael (37.5 grams), but then dropped to $3,107. Banks are allowed to sell at a 1.2% discount compared to market prices, which probably explains the buying frenzy. The depreciation of the Vietnamese dong a

Amid recent days of geopolitical tension, an interesting market phenomenon is occurring. Usually, during risk-off periods, stocks are sold off, but Bitcoin is actually outperforming stocks. Seeing this trend continue for three consecutive days suggests that digital assets are no longer just speculative instruments but are beginning to function as a hedge in portfolios.
In the past, cryptocurrencies were considered high-risk assets, but that position has shifted over the past few years. Especially Bitcoin, with its fundamental characteristic of a fixed supply, tends to be bought during inflatio

Standard Chartered's latest report presents an interesting perspective on how the expansion of the stablecoin market could impact the U.S. financial system.
In short, it predicts that by the end of 2028, the market capitalization of stablecoins will reach $2 trillion. As of early 2026, it's about $300 billion to $320 billion, indicating significant growth. Along with this growth, the new demand for short-term government bonds from stablecoin issuers is expected to rise from $0.8 trillion to $1.0 trillion.
Major issuers like Tether and Circle already hold hundreds of billions of dollars in shor
