CONVICTION OVER SPECULATION
The long game for Bitcoin and crypto begins
Bitcoin and crypto markets just had a rough few weeks. Prices fell sharply, liquidity tightened, and leverage got wrung out of the system. Now the question is whether this was a structural break or a necessary reset. Eliezer Ndinga and Karim AbdelMawla consider both sides of the debate.
STAKING VS. LIQUID STAKING
What’s the difference, and why it matters
As blockchain networks mature, staking has become one of the most common ways for investors to earn yield on digital assets. The concept is intuitive: investors lock up tokens, help secure the network, and receive rewards in return.
Over the past few years, however, a second approach has emerged. Liquid staking changes how staking works in practice, even though the underlying economic exposure remains largely the same. Understanding the distinction between traditional staking and liquid staking is increasingly important for investors and Karim AbdelMawla explains why.
