Guide: Bitcoin’s Four-Year Cycles
For over a decade, Bitcoin has followed a four-year rhythm around halving events - accumulation, expansion, euphoria, and collapse. But how do BTC cycles adapt to the arrival of ETFs, institutions, and macro liquidity?
Our research team breaks down past cycles, the halving, psychology, liquidity, and what might be different about the 2026 cycle. Read the full guide below:

The Torch is an NFT honoring the people and values that have shaped Ethereum’s first decade and will help build its future.
It will be symbolically passed from wallet to wallet in the 10 days leading up to Ethereum’s 10 year anniversary.
Stablecoin transaction volumes hit $1.82 trillion last month, a record high.
And organic, non-speculative uses appear to be growing, even as crypto trading volume fluctuates.
Still, it’s easy to underestimate the promise of stablecoins.
So we’ve rounded up a quickstart guide for understanding stablecoins — from what’s *not* a stablecoin to reimagining money from first principles.

DeFi Landscape Overview
Combined Total Value Locked (TVL) equals $222B and continues to grow. New DeFi trend, Restaking, became the 5th category by TVL, overtaking derivatives protocols.
EIP-4844 brings relief to L2 users with significantly reduced transaction costs. Yet, as blob demand rises, sustainability of low fees is in doubt. Is EIP-4844 the ultimate solution?

Optimistic Rollups vs Zero Knowledge (ZK) Rollups
🔴 Optimistic Rollups is an Ethereum scaling solution that uses proof of fraud and runs on an EVM-compatible Optimistic Virtual Machine (OVM).
🟣 ZK Rollups are the way to scale a blockchain using Zero-Knowledge proofs (STARKs or SNARKs). ZK Rollups prove the correctness of transactions without disclosing their content.
Let's compare two rollup solutions by the key metrics.
