    Crypto Security Firm Forta Launches FORT Tokens

    Cybersecurity in crypto is a mess right now—there's another big hack nearly every week.

And to do it, Forta is releasing its own FORT token, intended to increase the incentives for security researchers to monitor blockchain networks. Forta Foundation's ecosystem lead Andy Beal explained in an interview with Decrypt that Forta takes a decen...

    Ethereum's Merge is Coming and the Stakes Couldn't Be Higher

    Crypto holders can't wait to see the end of May, a month that has brought nothing but losses. And while it's too soon to say whether the worst is over—Bitcoin is below $30,000 right now and could go lower—it feels like the industry will come through the downturn just fine. So long as the Ethereum merge goes off okay, that is. If you've been living under a crypto rock, "The Merge" refers to the long-awaited upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain that will see the No. 2 cryptocurrency switch to a pro...

    If someone steals your credit card or goes on a shopping spree with your debit card, there's a good chance Visa or your bank will reverse the charges and help you untangle the mess. But for fraud victims in the crypto realm, the experience is very different. "If you lose your crypto, it’s a very humbling and lonely experience.

    Jason Robins is the co-founder and CEO of DraftKings, the popular sports betting and fantasy sports site. He is also a longtime crypto fan who holds a variety of coins and NFTs—and he has some ideas about how to encourage more people to use crypto. Robins believes the current state of crypto is much like the early internet, which was defined in part by rampant scams and complicated interfaces that intimidated non-tech-savvy users. He's hardly the first to draw that comparison. But he believes w...

    Could Terra's Do Kwon Go to Prison?

    The recent collapse of the stablecoin project known as Terra is one of the biggest catastrophes in the history of crypto, wiping out hundreds of billions of dollars. In response, crypto columnist David Z. Morris penned a provocative column likening Terra founder Do Kwon to Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder who is awaiting a criminal sentence for fraud—a fate that Morris believes should befall Kwon. That view is understandable. Like Holmes and her failed blood-testing startup, Kwon relentles...

    Coinbase shareholders are reeling as the stock price fell about 30% on Wednesday, after the company posted earnings that widely missed analysts' expectations. The stock had already been subject to a widespread selloff due to a broader meltdown in the crypto markets, but Tuesday's earnings report caused it to tumble to around $50 in mid-day trading today.
