Bitcoin and crypto are no longer obscure internet phenomena. Over the past decade, they have become a critical alternative asset class that impacts nearly every institution in the world.

At Blockworks, we’ve been helping investors understand this emerging asset class for nearly three years. 

Today, Blockworks is excited to announce the launch of our editorial site.

Leveraging our new site and daily newsletter, our editorial team will focus on the asset managers, companies, and individuals that shape the crypto industry. 

The goal of our editorial team is simple: to provide investors and finance professionals with the news, analysis, and insights they need to make informed decisions about the digital asset space.

What you can expect:

As an independently-owned company that has never raised venture money, coverage from Blockworks will have no agenda. 

We pledge to report on the industry in a way that is unbiased, fact-based and accessible. 

We will dutifully cover markets, investment trends, and regulatory developments that connect the emerging crypto ecosystem with the broader world of macro finance.

Why now?  

Bitcoin has emerged as a non-sovereign, global, decentralized, digital store of value. 

The industry is experiencing record institutional inflows, from macro hedge funds, to university endowments, to RIAs.

This transformation is happening at one of the most uncertain moments in the history of our global financial system. In a three month time span in 2020, central banks printed $25 trillion.

Corporate and sovereign debt levels are at all time highs, interest rates are at all time lows, and inequality is increasing faster than ever before.

If we’ve learned one thing in 2020, it’s that the “old way” of doing things isn’t working.

We’re entering into a new world of finance, and Blockworks is here to help you navigate it. 

About Blockworks:

    Kinetiq has established itself as Hyperliquid's dominant liquid staking protocol, holding 82.5% of LST market share with $610M in TVL. The protocol is now expanding beyond its kHYPE staking core into higher take-rate verticals: iHYPE for institutional custody rails, Launch for HIP-3 capital formation, and Markets for builder-deployed perpetuals. We view Markets, launching Jan. 12, as the highest-potential product line given its mechanically scalable, activity-linked unit economics. Near-term revenue remains anchored by kHYPE's KIP-2 fee schedule (~$1.6M annualized), while Markets provides embedded optionality if HIP-3 economics normalize post-Growth Mode. KNTQ's setup is relatively clean: zero insider unlocks until November 2026, 6.2% buyback yield from staking revenue, and cleared airdrop overhang. Risks center on unproven Markets execution, declining kHYPE TVL despite ongoing incentives, and competition from Hyperliquid's native initiatives.
