Can Stablecoins Break Free From the US Dollar?

More than a decade after the first stablecoins emerged, the U.S. dollar still reigns supreme in crypto. The stablecoin market has grown to more than $306 billion in total capitalization, data from DefiLlama shows. According to JPMorgan, around 99% of the stablecoin market remains U.S. dollar‑denominated. USD-pegged stablecoins’ dominance is half inertia and half convenience, according to Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, CEO of Concordium. “The dollar is the global reserve currency, so it's the natural d...

Emerge's 2025 Story of the Year: How the AI Race Fractured the Global Tech Order

The great unraveling began with a single number: $256,000. DeepSeek, a year-old Chinese startup, claimed it spent that relatively small sum training an AI model that matched the capabilities of OpenAI—which spent over a hundred million dollars to get to the same place. When the app hit Apple's store in January, Nvidia lost $600 billion in a single trading day, which was the largest one-day wipeout in market history. The technical feat aside, DeepSeek’s efficiency breakthrough quickly ignited a g...

The Best AI Large Language Models of 2025

The defining strategy of 2025 was not choosing a single “best large language model.” It was assembling a stack. Claude for premium coding and editing. DeepSeek or Qwen for cheap volume. Muse for fiction. Dolphin when constraints mattered more than polish. Models stopped being personalities this year. They became tools. The advantage went to users who treated them that way. The technology matured into something genuinely useful in 2025—models became smarter, cheaper, and specialized for specific...

GG Story of the Year 2025: Crypto Gaming Collapses as Funding Dries Up

This was the year that, for many, the crypto gaming dream died. But that dream didn't end on its own—it was smothered by venture capitalists who stopped believing in it, and crucially, stopped investing in it. In 2025, numerous notable crypto games shut down their operations, which Decrypt has tracked throughout the year. These closures left developers unemployed, dedicated player bases abandoned, and entire collections of digital assets rendered practically useless. Some of these titles even pr...

The Year in Solana 2025: Trump and Wall Street Take Notice

Solana’s native token surged to a new all-time high shortly after the year began, but the 2025 story of the speedy layer-1 network was not all up and to the right: SOL has finished the year in a serious slump, down substantially since this time last year. Nevertheless, the network made big headlines, notched major technical improvements, launched another mobile phone, and found a way to better intertwine with traditional financial markets.  Here’s a look back at how 2025 shaped up for Solana.  T...

Emerge's 2025 'Person' of the Year: Ani the Grok Chatbot

When Ani arrived in July, she didn’t look like the sterile chat interfaces that had previously dominated the industry. Modeled after Death Note’s Misa Amane—with animated expressions, anime aesthetics, and the libido of a dating-sim protagonist—Ani was built to be watched, wanted, and pursued. Elon Musk signaled the shift himself when he posted a video of the character on X with the caption, “Ani will make ur buffer overflow.” The post went viral. Ani represented a new, more mainstream species o...
