Some have even ended with a rug pull – the team dumping their share of the crypto on the market and running with the cash.TrustSwap is a cryptocurrency project that is hoping to change that by using smart contracts. They want to create a new standard for initial coin offerings

The Yam yield farming frenzy that took DeFi by storm last week highlighted a number of elements that could have been improved with the launch. A new offering called Ham aims to right the wrongs and improve on Yam with a truly community-driven project. There were several flaws with the Yam launch, but the ultimate reason was that it had to be rescued by whales. This pretty much negates any progress made on the path to becoming a truly democratic and community-governed monetary system. A migration plan proposed late last

Simon Peters, market analyst: Bitcoin Teases Us At $12,000  Suffice it to say, it was a busy week, with mixed performance in equity markets and odd – but not unpromising – movements for bitcoin. The FTSE All-Share index and the STOXX600 both recorded steady rises, while the S&P500, which started the week at 3,352, took a turn for the worse on Wednesday. After its drop to 3,335, it has since recovered to 3,372. Bitcoin broke through $12,000 on Monday, only to suffer a significant fall to $11,275 by Wednesday morning.

Ethereum’s price has begun to falter after surging higher late last week. The cryptocurrency trades at $430 as of this article’s writing, which is a few percent below and a few percent above the local highs and lows, respectively. ETH is flat in the past 24 hours, trading down by a negligible 0.15%. The stagnation in the value of the leading cryptocurrency comes as the Ethereum 2.0 (ETH2) testnet has experienced an outage. It is unclear if the price action and outage are correlated, but ETH2 is a fundamental driver.
