I’ve always wondered how many leaders around the world are actually preserved forever after death. When I looked into it, I found out there are only five. What’s more, and this is the interesting part, their stories aren’t driven by technology alone—major political choices of the times have a big influence behind it.
It starts with Lenin, who is almost like a pioneer of modern permanent body preservation. When he died in 1924, he was apparently going to be buried in the usual way, but sparked by the public’s outpouring of mourning, they ended up freezing his body on short notice. After that, S

What is a cryptocurrency long? It’s one of those things you understand much better once you actually try trading. Simply put, if you think the price will rise, you buy it—and then you sell it later. That’s the most basic principle of all.
Unlike the stock market, the cryptocurrency market runs 24/7. That means there are more opportunities, but also greater risks. People who trade Bitcoin and Ethereum are always facing this volatility. When regulatory news is released, when global events happen, or when technology gets updated, the market can swing in an instant. Even when a major exchange prev

Recently, Ripple's activities have become quite interesting. They are focusing on enterprise payment and fund management platforms, especially on how to utilize XRP and stablecoins.
Last month, Ripple announced a platform called Ripple Treasury, which combines blockchain payments with traditional cash management. It’s a service aimed at large institutions, allowing companies to connect to their systems just like traditional banks.
According to Ripple’s Chief Product Officer of Finance, XRP and stablecoins will become the core of their future strategy. However, it’s not just about holding digit

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, announced some intriguing information. He introduced details about the ongoing "four major R&D projects" in preparation for the next version of the $ADA roadmap.
The projects include the Midnight DeFi Kernel, Passport Program, Minotaur (with consensus features), and Nightstream. All of these are reportedly making significant progress.
The background for the founder's announcement is that a major information sharing at Consensus is upcoming. Likely, this conference will reveal detailed roadmaps and milestones for each project.
As for the Cardano ecosys

Even though four months have passed in 2026, wasn't the NFT story supposed to be over? Honestly, seeing how the industry has cooled down this much, many people might be doubting whether it will truly make a comeback.
But recently, some interesting movements have started to emerge. Within a few weeks from the beginning of the year, the total market capitalization of the NFT space reportedly increased by over $220 million. Hundreds of projects are recording price recoveries, with some even showing triple- to quadruple-digit growth rates. Compared to the cold situation at the end of 2025, investo

Even as Bitcoin prices are falling, it seems that institutional investors' views on digital assets are changing significantly.
This is an observation from a professional with over 25 years of experience in the alternative investment industry. The platform he operates represents over $55 trillion in assets and tracks thousands of meetings annually between fund managers and institutional investors. The vast amount of data reveals how quickly market sentiment can shift.
In 2022, after the collapse of FTX, the cryptocurrency market was thrown into chaos. After that period, interest finally began t

David Saks, who was at the center of policy shifts as the crypto czar responsible for cryptocurrencies and AI under the Trump administration, is moving on to a new stage. Last week, he resigned from his special government position and was revealed to be participating as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
Saks told Bloomberg, "I have used up the assigned period." The term for a Special Government Employee (SGE) is limited to a maximum of 130 days over 12 months, and he has completed that period. However, he is not leaving his position; rather, he

The Perp DEX market is moving. Looking at recent data, most cryptocurrency derivatives platforms are increasing trading activity, but a few notable changes have emerged.
Hyperliquid remains overwhelmingly dominant. Its 24-hour trading volume is about $6.37 billion, and the unsettled contract volume is also $5.49 billion, maintaining its top position. The stability of this DEX is truly strong. Meanwhile, Aster, which was near the top not long ago, has dropped rapidly. Its trading volume has fallen to $2.34 billion, now ranking fourth. In its place, Lighter has risen to second place, recording a

If you want to understand the structure of Polygon, think of pol as a crucial piece for realizing Ethereum's scalability. Recently, I noticed that discussions about Polygon are increasingly common among blockchain developers.
Polygon is not just a token; it refers to the entire multi-chain system built on Ethereum. By combining multiple scaling solutions such as ZK-rollups and sidechains, it significantly improves Ethereum's processing speed while reducing costs. Through this framework, DApp developers, NFT projects, and DeFi protocols can achieve fast, low-cost transactions.
In other words, p

Recently, South Korea’s virtual asset regulations are about to undergo major changes. Judging from the government’s announced 2026 growth strategy, it’s clear they are taking the digital asset market seriously.
First, the move to introduce ETFs is what draws the most attention. While Bitcoin spot ETFs are actively traded in the United States and Hong Kong, digital assets in South Korea have not been recognized as underlying assets for ETFs until now. That situation is about to change. A spot digital asset ETF is scheduled to be introduced this year, which will likely be a major turning point f

Recent hearings by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee have revealed an interesting turning point. U.S. cryptocurrency regulation is shifting from strict enforcement to a more structural framework. During the late February hearings, when regulatory agencies like the Federal Reserve and OCC testified before Congress, this change became clearly evident.
Cryptocurrencies have traditionally been treated as peripheral entities, but they are now being elevated to the center of discussions on financial stability. Notably, regulators are transitioning from a stance of "strict enforcement" to "formal rul

I saw some analysts in the Cardano community mention a bullish scenario for ADA from 2026 to 2027. Someone named Mintern apparently predicts a significant increase from the current price. However, since such bullish forecasts come out every time, it might be best to view them as just a reference.
ADA experienced a quite severe decline throughout 2025. The current trading price has dropped to around $0.25. Considering Cardano's vision for 10 years from now, it seems the project team is also hopeful about the next upgrades and improvements in the regulatory environment. The founder, Hoskinson, h

The global crypto and taxes policy moves in February are quite interesting. With Bitcoin staying below $70k, multiple countries have rolled out crypto taxation approaches at the same time. Rather than the kind of vague handling seen before, the tax system design is moving in much more concrete directions.
First stands out the Netherlands. On February 12, the House of Representatives passed a 36% tax on unrealized gains. The bold measure taxes savings, liquidity investments, and crypto unrealized profits every year. Because it’s an unprecedented level of strictness, there is naturally strong pu

Recently, it seems that Ethereum network activity has been incredible. I came across a story that it processed 200 million transactions just in the first quarter, and apparently, this is the highest number ever.
The fact that so many transactions are being processed means the network is really becoming active. It could be due to an increase in DeFi and NFT-related transactions, or simply more users joining.
There has been ongoing discussion about Ethereum's scalability for a long time, but seeing these numbers makes me feel that the network is truly growing. I wonder if the transaction volume

Is Meta finally starting to move? Plans are emerging to integrate stablecoin payments across the entire massive platform of WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook by the second half of 2026. Several years after the failure of Libra/Diem, Meta is once again seriously tackling digital assets.
The first noticeable change is that Meta has shifted its role from "issuer" to "gateway." During the Libra era, Meta faced fierce opposition from regulators worldwide as it attempted to create its own currency. This time is different. By leveraging external partners like Bridge under Stripe, Meta plans to incorp

People often ask about the recent price trends of Polygon (MATIC), but honestly, the price forecast for MATIC from 2026 to 2030 is a complex topic. Whether it can truly reach $1 from the current level of $0.18 depends on the network's implementation capability.
First, let's start with the basics. Polygon functions as an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution, and the MATIC token is used for transaction fees and staking for network security. It processes millions of transactions daily while reducing costs for Ethereum users. This is a key point.
To make a MATIC price prediction, you need to look not

I've been tracking XRP's movements all along, and the recent chart patterns are quite interesting. It seems that analyst CryptoBull2020 has also noticed the same points, and it's becoming a topic of discussion on X. Looking at the data from the past few days, XRP is currently trading at $1.44, up 1.26% in the last 24 hours. Over the past 7 days, it's gained 0.49%, and over 30 days, it's up 1.91%, so there's a gradual upward trend continuing. Chart patterns during such periods often serve as important signals for short-term traders. The fact that experienced analysts like CryptoBull2020 are pay

Recently, interesting activity has been happening on Hyperliquid. It seems that a certain whale is making a significant bet on ETH versus BTC, accumulating a $21.4 million ETH short position. They are likely targeting Ethereum's relative weakness against Bitcoin.
This whale is building a very aggressive position, investing all their available funds of $2.18 million with 20x leverage. They only have $38.7 thousand in available defense funds for withdrawals, so they are almost fully committed to this move. Having already lost a total of $1.02 million, it appears they are aiming for a binary outc

Polygon (MATIC) price forecasts have been appearing frequently lately, but what is the reality? Considering market opinions and data, let's explore the possibility of MATIC reaching the psychologically significant level of $1 between 2026 and 2030.
First, to understand the current situation, the current MATIC price is approximately $0.18. Polygon, as an Ethereum layer 2 scaling solution, processes millions of transactions daily, significantly reducing costs and congestion for users. The practicality of this network forms the foundation supporting its long-term valuation.
The role of the MATIC

Recently, there has been active discussion within the industry about the possibility of Ethereum reaching $10k by 2030. Indeed, considering Ethereum's current position, it doesn't seem like an impossible dream.
Currently, Ethereum maintains its status as one of the largest smart contract platforms with a market capitalization consistently exceeding $300 billion. Since the 2022 Merge, the new supply issuance has been reduced by about 90%, fundamentally changing its economic model. Since then, there have been periods where the burn rate from transaction fees has surpassed new issuance, creating
