As the year 2025 comes closer, an ominous shadow has been cast upon this otherwise promising development – that of greater regulation. BlockTraderHub.com is here to break down the forthcoming regulation and examine how it is likely to...
The current DeFi landscape is akin to playing chess blindfolded. Regulators are making their moves, and the question is: can DeFi adapt and thrive, or will it be checkmated? I think a victorious 2025 is very much possible. We need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, but tenacious in our pursuit...

Polygon taking the NFT sales crown from Ethereum for a week? C’mon, let’s face it, that’s a click bait-y headline to end all click bait-y headlines. 22.3 million vs. 19.2 million – a David and Goliath moment in the crypto world. But before we name Polygon king, let’s examine a...
