DeFi App

The Origins:

DeFi App is a decentralized platform designed to provide seamless access to DeFi services while maintaining full self-custody of assets. It offers users a non-custodial experience for trading, investing, and managing digital assets without intermediaries.

Founded in 2024, DeFi App aims to simplify decentralized finance by integrating key DeFi services into a single, easy-to-use platform.

The project aligns with the DeFi narrative, focusing on accessibility, self-custody, and permissionless financial services.

The Operative

Built on Ethereum, DeFi App functions as an all-in-one DeFi platform, enabling users to interact with multiple DeFi protocols from a unified interface.

• Key Features:

  • Aggregated DeFi Services: Provides access to lending, staking, swapping, and liquidity pools within a single application.

  • Non-Custodial Wallet Integration: Users retain full control of their assets, with support for major Web3 wallets.

  • Gas Fee Optimization: Implements transaction batching and L2 solutions to reduce costs.

  • Automated Yield Strategies: Offers algorithmic strategies that optimize yields across DeFi protocols.

  • Intent-Based Execution: Users set swap outcomes, and the platform optimizes routing across chains for efficient execution.

Summary & Competitors:

DeFi App has yet to launch its native token, $DEFI. The token is expected to launch in Q3 2025, with details on total supply and distribution yet to be disclosed.

The project raised ~$5.2 million so far with Framework Ventures and HashKey Capital as lead investors.

• Competitors in the DeFi aggregator space include:

  • Zapper and DeBank – platforms providing portfolio tracking and multi-protocol interactions.

  • Zerion and Instadapp – offering advanced DeFi management and automation tools.

The DeFi sector continues to evolve, refining accessibility and efficiency to drive broader adoption of decentralized financial services.

Insider Trading

The use of privileged information in the market is nothing new; it is as old as the mountains, paraphrasing Jesse Livermore. In this article, we will analyze what insider trading means, its consequences, and some of the most famous cases in history.

What

Insider trading is essentially the use of privileged (non-public) information to obtain extraordinary benefits in the market through positions that would not have been taken without that information. The strategy is to be positioned before the information becomes public.

Of course, the use of privileged information is illegal in US and in most countries, with consequences ranging from multimillion-dollar fines and trading bans to prison sentences.

Why

The reason for this article is a recent case (not yet proven, but it's not rocket science, right?) in crypto.

Last Saturday, it was reported that someone had initiated a position in BTC for $26M and in ETH for $92M through 50x leverage, with a liquidation price only 1.5% lower. Crazy, right?

At first, this seemed like a reckless degen trade, until today, when the news broke that Trump announced a strategic crypto reserve including XRP, ADA, and SOL. He later added that ETH and BTC were also included. This caused a surge in prices, with ADA soaring +70%. Millions in one day.

Cases

Throughout history, numerous cases have demonstrated that insider trading has happened, happens, and will continue to happen.

-Martha Stewart and the ImClone Sale In 2001, Martha Stewart sold shares of ImClone Systems based on confidential information from its CEO, who knew that the FDA would reject a key drug. 5 months in prison.

-Coinbase and the First Insider Trading Case in Crypto In 2022, Ishan Wahi, a former product manager at Coinbase, was accused of leaking information about upcoming token listings to his brother, who used it to profit before official announcements. 2 years in prison.

-OpenSea and Insider Trading in NFTs In 2021, Nate Chastain, OpenSea’s former head of product, was caught buying NFTs shortly before they were featured on the platform, then selling them at inflated prices. He was found guilty of fraud and money laundering.

-Ivan Boesky and the 1980s Scandal In the 1980s, Ivan Boesky became famous for using insider information to profit from mergers and acquisitions. His case inspired the movie Wall Street (1987). He was fined $100M and sentenced to 3 years in prison.

-Elon Musk and the Funding Secured Case Elon faced SEC troubles in 2018 after tweeting that he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share, which artificially inflated the stock price. He ended up paying a $20M fine and was forced to step down as Tesla’s chairman for 3 years.

Some cases, although never legally proven, clearly point to insider trading:

-Nancy Pelosi and Tech Stocks The former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and her husband have been repeatedly accused of profiting from privileged information. They made investments in tech stocks like $NVDA, $AAPL and $MSFT just before Congress passed favorable regulations. It has never been legally proven.

-Goldman Sachs and the 2008 Financial Crisis Goldman Sachs executives sold large amounts of toxic assets before the market collapse. While they were investigated, insider trading could never be proven.

-Bitcoin’s Rally Before BlackRock’s ETF In 2023, Bitcoin surged abruptly before BlackRock filed for a spot ETF. Some analysts suspected that institutional investors with privileged information bought BTC in anticipation.

Conclusion

Insider trading is part of the market, and as we see, many times it is evident to the world but difficult to prove, often resulting in no consequences. Even when proven, a simple fine can prevent further legal action. It is an unfair and illegal practice that has nothing to do with being a great trader.
