Crypto Biz: Luna’s meltdown will live on in infamy, May 5-11, 2022
Terra’s meltdown forced cryptocurrency investors to ask a question they never thought was possible: Will TerraUSD (UST) or Terra (LUNA) reach $1.00 first? The magnitude of this question provides a sobering reminder of just how quickly things can change in crypto. While Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon remains defiant, many people in the industry are beginning to distance themselves from the protocol they thought was delivering real-world utility for stablecoins and Bitcoin (BTC).

VC Roundup: Gaming, crypto fintech and blockchain infrastructure dominate venture capital rounds
Cryptocurrency markets remain caught in a macro-based downtrend, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) showing further signs of weakness at the end of April. But, venture capital activity in the crypto and blockchain sectors is the strongest it has ever been, offering further evidence that major investors are looking beyond immediate price action and ignoring divisive bull/bear narratives. The latest edition of VC Roundup highlights the growing excitement surrounding Web3 gaming, decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain infrastructure.

Crypto Biz: If you think crypto is bearish, you’re not paying attention, April 21-27, 2022
If you’re looking at the price of Bitcoin (BTC), it’s hard to be bullish these days. The flagship cryptocurrency has once again broken below $40,000, with analysts foretelling of a much bigger decline in the weeks ahead. Unfortunately, many new investors forget to treat crypto as an exponential asset class and, therefore, let short-term price fluctuations weaken their conviction.

Q1 2022 venture capital activity in crypto set to outpace 2021
The first quarter of 2022 saw unprecedented growth in terms of venture capital activity in different blockchain sectors. In 2021, venture capitalists poured in over $30 billion into infrastructure, nonfungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized finance (DeFi), centralized finance (CeFi) and Web3. That set the bar pretty high if 2022 was going to beat it. In the first quarter of 2022, capital inflows from venture capitalists were over $14.6 billion, or around 48% of all the capital investment by the last year.

Crypto Biz: The Web3 arms race is upon us, April 14–20, 2022
“Web3” used to be an empty industry buzzword that described the next iteration of the internet. In 2022, Web3 is still an annoying buzzword, but at least the blockchain community is trying to assign it real-world utility.

The past seven days have reminded me of how lucky I am to have forged a career in the Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency industry. Cointelegraph sent a contingency of reporters to the Bitcoin conference in Miami, where we got to chop it up with billionaires, business leaders and hedge fund managers. I had the privilege of sitting down with Canadian businessman and Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, who actually revealed most of his crypto portfolio.
