But out of the handful — from FTX to Genesis — that filed for bankruptcy throughout the past two years, where do the biggest cases stand?

FTX

The FTX bankruptcy continues, with November marking a year since Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire collapsed. The former CEO now sits in jail in New York awaiting a February sentencing hearing after he was found guilty of seven counts of fraud earlier this…

A Perfect Fight: The Battle Against The Machine

In 1997, history was written when the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeated reigning world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Humanity had sent its greatest warrior, a Russian, who had been world champion for a record number of years. Garry was no one day fly, he was the best in all history. At the same time, during his reign, engineers worked arduously on a chess engine. Convinced they were, that one day, the computer would defeat even the greatest player of all time. It was going to be a perfect fight. The best human vs. the best machine. Either man or machine would have to bend the knee. Quoting Garry, “That was the first time I lost. Period.” Yes. Kasparov hadn’t lost a match to…

Bitcoin’s Bull Run: The Creation of 70,000 New Millionaires in 2023

As Bitcoin’s influence grows, so does the wealth of its investors. In the dynamic landscape of decentralized finance, Bitcoin has been a game-changer, especially in 2023. The year witnessed a staggering surge of 69,242 Bitcoin addresses crossing the millionaire threshold, a 246.55% jump from the beginning of the year. This increase brings the total to 97,326 Bitcoin millionaires as of December 25, 2023.

Digging deeper into the data reveals that 89,864 addresses are now home to over $1 million in Bitcoin. The upper echelons of wealth saw significant growth as well, with 7,462 addresses holding assets worth over $10 million—a considerable rise from the 3,805 addresses at the start of the year. This rapid accumulation of wealth underscores the expanding reach of Bitcoin and its potential to create substantial financial growth for its holders.

The trend is a testament to the growing confidence in Bitcoin as a viable investment, reflecting a broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies in mainstream finance. As we edge closer to a new year, the data points to a sustained bullish momentum, signaling that the crypto giant continues to be a lucrative haven for investors seeking to build their fortunes in the digital age.

2023’s top 5 DeFi protocols by revenue

Since DeFi Pulse popularized the metric in 2019, total value locked (TVL) has been used as a primary measure for a protocol’s success. 

But as DeFi slogged through a bear market for much of 2023, some pointed out that TVL can distort the underlying value of a protocol. Others said DeFi should abandon the metric altogether, saying it’s less meaningful than it’s purported to be.

“You bring ten whales and all of a sudden your TVL shoots through the roof,” Oleg Fomenko, co-founder of Sweat Economy, said. “We’re seeing a lot of projects fall into the same trap.”

A possible alternative metric could be revenue: the fees protocols collected minus the rewards they paid to…
