Research that connects crypto with the real economy

This library distills complex signals into clear takeaways for investors, builders, and policy-facing teams. We focus on three pillars: market structure, DeFi resilience, and regulation. Each brief lists scope, sources, and uncertainties so you know how conclusions were reached. Use these summaries to prepare for risk reviews, align messaging, and decide where to dig deeper. Nothing here is investment advice; it is practical education that encourages careful judgment and privacy-aware workflows.
