The Path to $47 LPT Is Narrower Than the Models
Livepeer's native token LPT surged 36% in a single day on volume exceeding $413 million. But is a decentralized video transcoding protocol capable of justifying valuations so high up in the double-digit price range? Most livepeer price predictions for 2025 cap out at $14.61. Longer-term targets top out around $30 by 2028. There's another outcome less frequently discussed that sees LPT approach $47 before 2026 closes.

MultiversX Hits 656K TPS While EGLD Trades at a Discount
MultiversX just achieved on-chain real-world throughput of 656,607 transactions per second on the network. That kind of throughput blows Ethereum's 15-30 TPS base layer out of the water. With EGLD at $4.28 and over 569 million transactions across 9.12 million accounts, the differences between Ethereum and MultiversX aren't marginal. They're existential.

WeFi Just Crossed 100K Users Without Any Hype
If a SaaS startup hit 100K users, they'd hold a press tour. WeFi did it with the fanfare of a regional credit union. WFI is listed at $2.35 on CoinGecko, market cap just above $191 million, ranked around #185. Most of the crypto media is looking at other things right now. When there's so little commotion around a project, does that signal actual product-market fit or simply mask a less flattering reality?

Why QANX Could Outperform Even If Quantum Computers Never Materialize
The thesis floating around QANplatform has been that it is a quantum-resistance play. Whether that plays out depends on the market accurately timing quantum computers. At $0.01238 per QANX with a $21M market cap, down 93.9% from ATH, the market is extremely bearish on the quantum computing thesis. Take that narrative aside and the platform has something few Layer 1s can claim.

TRB Collapsed 97% From Its Peak and the Pattern Repeats
TRB traded up to $619 after surging 150% on December 31, 2023 within hours. It reeled back to $136 thirteen hours later, triggering $68 million in derivative liquidations. The move revealed why Tellor Tributes is probably the most volatile token in crypto: its minuscule circulating supply of 2.75 million tokens, insane wallet concentration, and super thin order books.

How to Buy Illuvium Without Overpaying on Gas Fees
Illuvium is currently priced at $4.30 per ILV, but how much you actually pay depends entirely on your purchase strategy.

Luna Foundation's Treasury Strategy Changed Everything
The Luna Foundation once managed a $3 billion Bitcoin treasury, which was set to support a stablecoin. It now has "sufficient" Bitcoin in that treasury to dole out grants to developers of a $40 million protocol. The evolution of that treasury tells the whole story of Terra's post-collapse identity crisis. And the policy decisions that fueled it expose who really has the power in this ecosystem.

Three Wallet Behaviors Driving AGLD Price Right Now
Trading at $0.2494, AGLD is down 97% from the all-time high price of $7.63 in September 2021. The reason why the token hasn't been able to establish a foothold is best explained by the behavior of three distinct groups of wallets. Adventure Gold is the governance and gas token of Adventure Layer L2. Its circulating supply has expanded from 77.3m to 92.8m tokens in the past year as part of a pre-planned inflation rate.

Why the Ronin Bridge Still Makes People Hesitate
The Ronin bridge hack from 2022 wasn't exactly commonly known. $625 million was stolen in the attack, attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group. Four years later and users still double take before hitting "Confirm" when sending any asset to the Ronin chain. What most don't know is the bridge is built entirely different these days. Chainlink CCIP, full L2 migration. Here's the walkthrough.
