Alts bleed harder. “Stablecoin yield” suddenly looks less stable when the protocols paying it start getting drained. The correlations you thought were diversification turn out to be one trade in ten costumes. And the only asset class that has reliably held through every crypto drawdown of the last decade is the one DeFi has historically ignored: gold.That’s finally changing. A new generation of defi crypto protocols routes capital into tokenized gold-backed strategies, turning a 5,000-year-old safe haven…

The Enjin debate got a lot more louder today after CoinMarketCap amplified a brutal industry claim: roughly 93% of Web3 gaming projects are now “effectively dead,” with token values down 95% from 2022 peaks and studio funding collapsing 93% by 2025. That post landed hard because when a heavyweight speaks, markets listen. Then came the big pushback.Enjin’s COO didn’t just disagree in fact he leaned into it, arguing most of those failed projects were “token first, game never,” while claiming Enjin belongs to the surviving 7%. The timing wasn’t random either. The comment came as “Enjium,” a game launched on…
