🚀 The final major event of the year, Solana BreakPoint 2025. Here are our insights.

Founders, C-level leaders, and Web3 teams were all there. Networking is still absolutely worth it.

We also caught up with our partners, Peanut. Together, we help clients list their assets on exchanges like Binance, OKX, Coinbase, Bybit, MEXC, and several DEXs.

🧐 But the main speakers didn’t feel as inspiring or energetic as before. The focus shifted toward existing projects and mature ideas. The JPMorgan deal is a good example of this shift.

There were plenty of discussions around DePIN and DeSci, but the lack of fresh concepts was noticeable and even a bit nostalgic.

🎯 Our main insight was understanding where the industry stands today. And this event made that crystal clear.

🌎 People in crowdlending have always been told one thing: “If you want to operate globally, be ready for years of bureaucracy.”

We didn’t wait for that and chose a different path.


In our new case study, we explain how we helped a local fintech transform into an ecosystem where investors and businesses from different countries can meet directly.

No separate license for each country. And no regulatory pauses and barriers.

The platform launched in five jurisdictions at the same time and became part of the real economy instead of a crypto experiment.

Read the full story here.

You see the trap too, right? 😁

🧐 Remember the hype around Notcoin and Hamster Kombat? After those projects took off, a flood of clones appeared with the same copy-paste gameplay mechanics. None of them really broke through.

It may seem like the gameplay pulls the user in. But the real magic happens in onboarding.

Telegram, with its built-in wallet and Mini Apps, has pushed the crypto entry barrier almost to zero. No need to install an app, create a wallet, or buy gas.

And this is what changes the game: nothing stands between the user and the product.


But launching on Telegram with an altcoin doesn’t guarantee instant users or revenue.

🪙 TON offers more than the blockchain layer.

It gives access to a distribution channel reaching millions.


TON alone won’t make your game go viral. It brings traffic. Your job is to build an economy that retains and monetizes that traffic. The focus shifts. The question is no longer “which network should I choose?” but “are you ready to create value where the user already is?”

🤝 And that’s where we come in. We design tokenomics that can handle any level of traffic and stay stable under load.

🪙 How do you choose a blockchain for DeFi that won’t collapse the moment the market swings?

When things are stable, founders look at the usual checklist: transaction speed, fees, marketing. And that’s exactly where the trap is.

DeFi is tested in shaking markets, not in quiet ones.


If the network fails under pressure, the project will fail too. This is why the real filter is an ecosystem that already went through stress and managed to stay functional.

But why do the strongest lending protocols end up on Ethereum L2?

0⃣ Ethereum has the deepest liquidity. It lets collateral be liquidated quickly and helps losses get absorbed without a chain reaction.
0⃣ L2 solutions rely on oracles that proved their reliability during extreme volatility, including the crashes of 2020.
0⃣ Native USDC acts as a stabilizing force when panic starts.

So we have a network that remains functional not only in prosperous periods. It stays stable under pressure and has already survived cross-liquidations, high volatility, and user mistakes.

That’s why every mechanism matters. The protocol needs clear stabilization logic, defined liquidation responsibilities, and the right performance metrics.


➡️ This is where the difference becomes clear: some protocols can handle the market, others eventually fail.

Ethereum gives projects the base they need to grow. And soon we’ll see who used that advantage well.

What does a “deflationary token model” even mean? No, seriously🧐

People love throwing this term around, but let’s rewind for a second. Inflation simply means an increase in something. Even physicists don’t say the universe is “expanding” anymore. They say it’s experiencing inflation.

In web2 economics, inflation usually refers to rising prices. It feels like prices go up because of inflation… but in reality they rise because the money supply expands, which devalues the currency.

There’s a simple equation for this: MV = PY


It shows the balance between all goods produced and all money circulating in the system. If you have 100 units of money and 100 units worth of goods, that’s your base. If money supply grows to 110 while goods stay at 100, you get roughly 10% inflation. Producers raise prices because demand increases and supply doesn’t. And the opposite works too.

Now jump into crypto.

Most people don’t understand what deflation means, because no one answers a basic question: What is a token? A currency or a product?

And deflation works very differently depending on which one it is. It often feels like burning tokens should make them more valuable. But think about this: the world burns oil every single day… and its price still falls.

So what does deflation really mean in web3?🤨

🔍 Let’s keep going with deflation and look at one simple case: your token acts like a product.

If that’s true, inflation works in your favor. When inflation rises, goods get more expensive, and your token follows the same pattern.

Here’s how it's supposed to work:
🔹people buy your token with USDT
🔹the more USDT shows up in the network, the higher its inflation
🔹the higher the inflation, the higher the price you can sell your token for

Just look at the logic: more USDT in the network means more liquidity, and that liquidity should, in theory, push demand toward your token. And in that setup you can raise the price and still expect a buyer.

But reality cuts in fast.


That USDT gets diluted across millions of tokens long before it reaches yours. And this leads to the key takeaway:

when a token behaves like a product, what matters isn't inflation or deflation. It’s demand. Because no demand means no price. End of story.

BlackRock vs the U.S. Department of Justice. Who ends up being the largest BTC holder by 2026? 🤨

▪️ BlackRock holds 776,940 BTC
Those coins come through ETFs and move with institutional demand. Long money, growing alongside Bitcoin’s adoption by large players.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Department of Justice holds 127,271 BTC
Not bought but confiscated. Historically, the U.S. doesn’t accumulate Bitcoin. It takes it from offenders. More of a rainy day reserve than a strategy.

At the end of the day, this is about strategy, not numbers. Institutions buy. Governments usually confiscate.

But the rules aren’t fixed. Regulation can shift, strategic reserves can appear, new players step in. And geopolitics always finds a way in.

🔈 The market can get noisy, but numbers always tell the truth. And while traders play roulette and retail keeps running in circles, businesses are making billions.

We checked which protocols and chains brought in the most revenue over the past 30 days. The picture turned out to be quite revealing 👀

🚨Trust Wallet is temporarily unsafe

A new update went live on Dec 26, 2025. Unfortunately, it shipped with a vulnerability.

In the past 24 hours, over $7M was stolen from EVM wallets. Only users of the Trust Wallet browser extension were affected.

CZ has already said all losses will be covered. But still, better to play it safe and take a few simple steps.

What we’d do right now:

🔺 Disable or remove the Trust Wallet extension from Chrome and any other browsers.
🔺 If something feels off, move your funds to a hardware wallet.
🔺 Revoke active approvals via revoke.cash.
🔺 Save logs and screenshots in case you need them for reimbursement.

⚠️ Stay alert. Attacks like this don’t always stop at one round.

Last time, we looked at a token as a product. Now let’s switch roles and see what changes when a token acts as a currency 💱

Here, the mechanics are pretty straightforward. The more currency there is in circulation, the less each unit is worth.

Here’s how it usually plays out 👇

🔹Your token gets used to buy tokens from other projects (say, VIRTUAL)
🔹You distribute, mint, or unlock a new batch of tokens
🔹Users end up holding more of your tokens and start spending them on other assets
🔹Those projects may see higher demand and decide to raise the price of their tokens
🔹Meanwhile, your token starts losing value

In this kind of setup, the main thing to avoid is inflating your supply. That’s where token burning comes in as a deflationary mechanism.

But there’s a catch.

Burning tokens that sit in a Treasury or any other closed pool doesn’t move the price. The reason is simple. You need to burn the tokens that are already in circulation.

❗️And that’s where everything comes together:

if your token is a currency, it has to be taken out of circulation in every possible way. But even that won’t help if the same product can be bought through an alternative route. For example, directly with USDT.
