Your Startup Is Probably Dead On Arrival If you started a company more than two years ago, it’s likely that many of your assumptions are no longer true. You need to stop coding, building, recruiting, fund raising, etc., and take stock of what changed around you. Or your company will die. I just had coffee with Chris, a startup founder I invested in six years ago. Since then he’s been heads-down focused working on 1) a complex autonomy problem, 2) in an existing market with 3) a unique business model. Chris is now starting to raise his first large fundraising…

Part 1 covered foundation. Part 2 covered execution. This post covers what comes after. TL;DR Most protocols don’t fail at TGE — they fail in the months that follow. The Post-TGE Valley of Death is where points-farmers exit, unlock pressure builds, and liquidity quietly atrophies. Unlock management, anti-fragile liquidity, staking activation, treasury discipline and ecosystem growth don’t maintain themselves. They require the same operational rigor as the launch itself. Kraken 360 is built for this phase. It provides integrated post-TGE infrastructure spanning custody, staking delegation, exchange partnerships, Flexline treasury financing, and programmatic distribution, backed by Kraken’s MiCA authorization across the…

The US Federal Reserve announced today that it had decided not to change benchmark rates. The Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.5% to 3.75%. All members of the Committee voted for the decision, except for Stephen I. Miran, who sought a 25 bps reduction. According to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement, economic uncertainty has been heightened by existing factors and the conflict in the Middle East. The war with Iran has caused oil prices to rise considerably. It is difficult to know how long higher prices will remain. The Committee…

Wednesday’s session was dominated by a hotter-than-expected U.S. producer price inflation report and a Federal Reserve policy decision that held rates steady while raising its inflation outlook, driving sharp declines in equities, gold, and Bitcoin while pushing the U.S. dollar to its best performance of the week against major currencies. WTI crude oil surged as the ongoing Strait of Hormuz supply disruption continued to keep energy markets on edge, with the geopolitical premium from the Middle East conflict remaining the dominant macro theme across asset classes. Check out the forex news and economic updates you may have missed in the…

Ethereum’s price has spent much of the past cycle lagging its own institutional and on-chain progress, and Bitwise says the reason is straightforward: ETH is still trading primarily as a Bitcoin proxy, not as a fundamentally valued network. In a new factor-model analysis, the asset manager found BTC has been the dominant force behind weekly ETH returns since 2018, with macro conditions, network activity and ETP flows playing secondary roles. That finding matters because it cuts against one of the more persistent narratives around Ethereum. Regulatory clarity has improved, institutional access has broadened, and Ethereum still underpins a large share…

While I’ve noticed many differences among them, I’ve often wanted to stack them up and compare them to see which is the better email software on the market.

Both serve millions of users worldwide, ranging from individual professionals to global enterprises. And both consistently rank highest in market presence among all email software on G2, with Gmail at #1…

Castorly Stock, PexelsWhen I set out on my hunt for the best gaming laptop under $500 for students, I realized I needed one machine that could handle it all: assignments, projects, essays… you name it… on a budget. As a student, you’re probably not trying to run Cyberpunk 2077 on Ultra settings—you just want to finish your economics presentation and then jump into a few rounds of Minecraft or League of Legends—preferably without your laptop sounding like a jet engine, ready for takeoff.After reviewing several options, I found a bunch of laptops that hit that sweet spot between study-ready and…
