Decrypt's Best of 2024

Decrypt’s 2024 Project of the Year: Solana Meme Machine Pump.fun

It started on a whim. Two devs, a laptop, and an idea to develop a platform for launching crypto tokens fairly, cheaply, and easily—all while minimizing the risk of scams. The product wasn’t perfect—far from it. And after launching in January, it arguably led to more crypto scams than would have existed without it; they just looked different. But by the end of the year, the Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun had become undeniably the most culturally significant crypto project of the year. Maybe...

Beeple: ‘NFTs Have Been Hated for So Much Longer Than They Were Loved’

Digital artist Mike “Beeple” Winkelmann broke records in 2021 with the sale of his NFT artwork "Everydays: The First 5,000 Days," which sold for $69.3 million at auction. Since then the fervor around NFTs has cooled substantially, with trading volumes plunging by over 90%. Mike Winkelmann, aka Beeple, and Tim Marlow OBE.

Prediction Markets Invite Insider Trading—And That’s a Good Thing, Experts Say

Think of the term “insider trading,” and what comes to mind? Maybe someone in a suit, whispering about a secret new product or a quarterly earnings report that’s yet to drop. Perhaps there’s a park bench involved, or an envelope, or a lot of whiskey.  That image is now outdated. The explosion in popularity of prediction betting markets like Polymarket this year has not just changed how people make money online—it’s also revolutionized the pool of who, exactly, has access to information with pote...

Biggest Changes Coming in Ethereum’s Super-Sized Pectra Upgrade

This week, Ethereum’s core developers decided that they will split the network’s next major upgrade, Pectra, into at least two parts, with the first update set to ship in or around February 2025.   The last several Ethereum upgrades—including Dencun, which dropped in March, and Shapella, which went live in 2023—have ushered in meaningful changes both for blockchain developers and everyday Ethereum users. So what will Pectra bring, and how might those changes affect you? Pectra: Part one During a...

Is Crypto to Blame for Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s Arrest?

In the wake of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s bombshell arrest in France last weekend and subsequent criminal indictment, much is still uncertain—particularly, how the high-stakes drama will impact Telegram’s massive crypto ambitions.  This year, Telegram became perhaps the most prominent company to ever jump with both feet into the cryptosphere. The dominant messaging service encouraged the proliferation of an ecosystem of on-chain, in-app games and services powered by Telegram’s blockchain of choi...

RFK Jr. Threatened to Steal the Bitcoin Vote From Trump—Now They're United

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—the scion of America’s most prominent political dynasty—exalted the virtues of the leading cryptocurrency during a speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in July, attendees cheered.  Members of the campaign for Donald J. Trump, who was also speaking at the conference later that week, likely sweated, however. Kennedy, to some observers, appeared deeply immersed in the space, while Trump’s proclamations were more surface-level—plus the former president had previously crit...
