I've been covering crypto as an analyst for eight years, and I now write daily for Cryptonomic. My angle is straightforward: read the raw numbers, pull from primary sources, and call it as I see it without carrying water for any camp. In a market this crowded with maximalists and shills, staying neutral takes real work, and I keep at it, even when it means rereading a piece and rewriting the parts where I've drifted.
HYPE hits $61 ATH as $33.5M in shorts are liquidated and Nasdaq ETFs pull in $53.5M in a week. Hyperliquid now generates over 40% of all DeFi derivatives fees.
