In this article, we aim to propose that banks can incorporate elements of DeFi into their current and future digital platforms, and that many customers may be best served by staying with a forward-thinking financial establishment rather than embracing a fully decentralized model.

The crypto and blockchain ecosystem continues to grow and change. In order to find an audience, startups in this industry must work with a PR company which understands the specific needs and limitations facing blockchain companies. We've compiled a list of seven of the best PR firms serving the crypto and blockchain industry today.

DeFi has been big news in 2020, for better or for worse. Several high-profile hacks and attacks early in the year cast a cloud over the industry, but that didn’t stop DeFi from growing bigger and better as the months went by. So what is DeFi up to right now, and how do things look for the tail end of 2020?

DeFi is all over the crypto news lately, as its value continues to grow. From a total market cap of $275M in early 2019, DeFi passed over $5B in stored funds in August 2020. So what is DeFi, and why is everyone so excited about it?

We’re excited to announce that we have published our first-ever book. The Cointelligence Guide to Decentralized Finance (DeFi) looks at the current state of the DeFi industry, and considers the exciting possibilities for this field.

Cointelligence has reported on numerous scams since our formation. Here is a rundown of the scams we’ve called out in the past several years.

What will happen with cryptocurrency in 2020? Forget the usual predictions about the price of bitcoin and which major industries will decide to explore blockchain solutions. I’m here to give you the most ridiculous predictions for 2020.

Everybody loves to have an opinion about cryptocurrency and the blockchain. Unfortunately, a lot of those opinions are negative and uninformed, and some are based in fearmongering.

Whether they lie about trading volume, suddenly change their features and supported coins without warning, or completely close up shop overnight, an untrustworthy exchange can really interfere with your trading.

The problem here was two-fold, in that it violated the regulations around promoting securities, and it’s also rather likely that Blue Hill Mining is itself a scam.

Recently our CEO and founder On Yavin joined the hosts of Bad Crypto Podcast to discuss our exchange rating system. To learn more about how we developed this system and why it matters, listen to Episode #267 "Rating the Crypto Exchanges with On Yavin."

Barrett: As more professional investors start to look at the market, they have different criteria for investing than the easy-money crowd. This is the traditional model. For instance, they look for real businesses, real cashflows, great, experienced teams and solid models, rather than blue-sky ideas. This benefits the market. It means we will have more successful businesses instead of the 95% failure rate quoted.

Do you hear the masses clamoring for a cold-storage wallet built into their phones? The average person outside of the crypto community doesn’t even know what cold storage is! For that matter, when was the last time you heard anyone say “You know what? I feel like spending $1000 on a phone from a company I’ve never heard of, based on technology I’m not familiar with, and with scant details on the features I actually care about.”

Much like a mainstream journalist, the AI quickly latched onto the idea of “Bitcoin” and didn’t seem to realize that there were other cryptocurrencies out there. But eventually, we got some real gems out of our neural network.

While in Barcelona for Crypto Economy World, our founder and CEO On Yavin was interviewed by Dushan Spalevich for ICO TV. In this quick interview, On not only talks about how our ICO listing and rating system helps ICO founders learn how to improve their projects, but also our future plans for connecting the ICOs with our coin list, to help investors better see the ROI for investing in these projects.

Perhaps the biggest take-away from this episode isn’t what our company is doing, but what the blockchain is doing. This technology, and the cryptocurrency backed by it, has the power to change the world. It can help the unbanked, streamline financial transactions, and so much more.
