Learning the friendly way

As we move into a more digital world with enhanced security systems, so too are hackers and fraudsters. With millions of dollars lost each year at the hands of these ill actors, in this article we take a look at the 5 most common crypto scams and how to spot them. The financial world need not be a scary place, with a few precautions in place you can bank on being able to avoid them.

What is a crypto scam?

A crypto scam is a type of investment fraud revolving around cryptocurrencies. According to a report by Chainalysis, a record-breaking $14 billion of crypto was stolen last year through crypto scams. While there are many different types of crypto scams, of which we'll explore 5 below, the common thread is that crypto is wrongfully taken from a user through fraudulent activities. 

The biggest crypto scam of recent times was in late 2020 when people hacked into the Twitter accounts of high profile individuals and claimed that should someone send Bitcoin or Ethereum to an address they will receive twice the value back. These accounts included the likes of Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Joe Biden. 

The top 5 most common crypto scams

While there are an infinite amount of crypto scams out there, below we are highlighting the 5 most common ones.

Fake crypto exchanges

These types of exchanges provide a buy/sell platform on which users can trade cryptocurrency, however, once they have deposited the funds they cannot withdraw any money. These funds might still appear on the platform although the money is long gone. 

Always read the reviews of a platform, and do your own research before depositing money anywhere. 

Ponzi schemes

Ponzi schemes might have started in the late 1800s but they're still here. The scheme works in such a way that each member earns rewards by recruiting new members, whose money is then used to pay off older members. This eventually reaches a saturation point after which it collapses. 

Always do your due diligence and ensure that the scheme you're investing in is solid. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Fake investment schemes

Be wary of an investment opportunity promising to deliver unbelievable gains. This might be in the form of depositing funds on a platform only to lose the money or struggle to withdraw it at a later stage. These are often circulated through well-known publications or on social media with celebrities "endorsing" the products. 

Pump and dumps also fall into this category. These schemes are created when a large group of people decide to invest in a coin, only to drive up the prices and cash out at the top. Many people are then left with a worthless coin at the end, having lost their investment. 

Imitating a crypto exchange

Similar to the concept of phishing, someone might create a social media account of a big exchange and contact the user "on behalf of the company". This is intended to gain your trust and is either done in an attempt to gain your passwords, or with a message that you owe large amounts in tax which needs to be paid in Bitcoin immediately to avoid imprisonment. 

Never follow links in an email, rather access the site from your own browser directly and be sure to check the URL. Successful scams of this nature often have a small typo in the URL which goes unnoticed. 

Malware & ransomware

The malware allows scammers to gain access to your computer, either locking you out of files or stealing credit card or crypto address details. With this information, they can drain your accounts in minutes. 

Ransomware works slightly differently in that the scammers lock the entire computer and demand a ransom to gain access again. This is often paired with blackmail where the victim, and in some cases organizations, are threatened that if they don't pay sensitive information will be released. A lot of victims in this situation manage to get out of it unharmed.

These might sound very scary, but should you maintain safe online protocols and check URLs before entering your details, they should be entirely avoided. 

5 tips on how to avoid crypto scams

These might sound obvious but it never hurts to read them again. Below are 5 tips on how to stay vigilant and avoid crypto scams entirely.

• Be wary of phone calls and emails claiming to be from exchanges and never click the links from them. 
• Never give your password, private key or security codes to anyone.
• Never give someone remote access to your device.
• Look out for social media accounts imitating legal firms or exchanges or a prominent person in the industry. Support will never contact you from a social media account.
• And lastly, if it sounds too good to be true - it probably is. 

Easily avoided, comfortably secure

We hope this information assists you in keeping your data and money secure online, proper security is always imperative when using payment methods or services on the internet. As technology evolves, so too must our security systems and vigilance. With these tips above you should be well on your way to spotting something that doesn't quite look right, and avoiding crypto scam.

Saving and investing are two key elements to managing one's personal wealth. In this article, we explore the benefits and downfalls of both these tools and give you a broader understanding of the topics.

What Does saving entail?

Saving money is an imperative step in building one's wealth and involves putting money away on a consistent basis, consistency is key. These funds are usually kept in an interest-bearing account, allowing the value to increase passively over the years. 

In the United Kingdom, there are different types of ISA (individual savings accounts) that offer tax-free savings options.

In order to save, one must be spending less than they're earning. 

What does investing entail?

Investing involves buying an asset with the intention for it to accumulate in value. This typically comes after saving, although the earlier the better. People invest in the likes of stocks, cryptocurrencies, property and even themselves (education, capital for a business) in the hopes of generating returns. 

What's the difference between saving and investing?

The biggest difference between the two is the varying returns you can earn. Saving money in a bank account typically provides returns of 0.5 - 0.8%, while the return potential on cryptocurrencies and stock is much greater.

The other main difference between saving and investing is the risk. So, while earning higher returns on investments might sound much more appealing, the risk is usually greater. Savings accounts carry minimal risk and are usually insured while investment portfolios will rise and fall with the market and are only insured if the investment company fails. Investors should balance the options and establish which risk level they are comfortable with.

In light of these risks, savings are recommended for short term goals while investments cater better to long term financial objectives. This is because long term investments will ride out the ebb and flow of markets and recover even if there is a drop over a certain period. Savings on the other hand are more easily accessible and won't be "interrupted" if the funds are used for an emergency. 

However, savings are also susceptible to inflation as the interest rates are seldom higher than the inflation rates. For example, if your bank is offering a 0.6% interest on your savings account and inflation rose 2%, your savings would have actually decreased in value. Investing typically beats inflation.

The similarities between savings and investing

As both tools are excellent at building and creating more wealth, there are bound to be similarities between the two.

The main similarity between the two is that both options are best started now, whether you're in them for the long or short term benefits. This is due to compounding. Compounding is the process where the interest you earn on an investment or savings account is continuously reinvested, increasing the base sum each period. 

For example, if you put $1,000 into a compounding savings account and earned 2% interest each year. The next year you will be earning 2% interest on the lump sum plus the interest earned, $1,020. The next year you would earn $1,020.40 ($1,020 interest earned, $20.40). This doesn't sound like too much, but over a ten-year period, you would have amassed $219.20 without having done a thing. 

Before you get started

Before getting started on either of these options, ensure that you have a positive cash flow and are debt-free. You'll also need to establish what your risk tolerance is, your short term and long term financial requirements, and when you would like to access the money.

If you don't have one already, you'll want to establish an Emergency Fund that can cover your living expenses for 3 - 6 months. Should you lose your job you can then fall back on this loan and not have to rely on credit cards with high-interest rates. 

Experts also recommend setting up a retirement fund, with automated monthly contributions. Once your emergency and retirement funds are established, you can consider a short term savings account or long term investment, or both. 

Pros and cons of saving and investing

Below we highlight the pros and cons of both tools:

Saving

Pro: Money is accessible and can easily be withdrawn.

Pro: Exempt from market volatility.

Con: Cannot leverage on market gains (potentially missing out on large compound interest benefits).

Con: Susceptible to inflation.

Investing

Pro: Longer time frames allow for favourable compounding interest.

Pro: Could tap into large market gains. 

Con: Exposed to more risk as markets are susceptible to drops.

Con: May incur a penalty if the money is withdrawn too soon. 

The bottom line

Both savings and investment options carry their own set of risks and rewards and it's ultimately best for you to speak to a financial adviser who is able to provide you with calculated professional advice.

Cryptocurrencies function much like traditional currencies in that they can be transferred digitally and used to pay for goods and services around the globe. However, they also pose several benefits that fiat currencies lack, such as the fact that they operate using a decentralized network and not a bank or government agency (providing greater control to users) and can execute international payments in a fraction of the time and cost.

While many believe cryptocurrencies will eventually replace traditional currencies, there is plenty to be done before we get there. We are sooner more likely to experience cryptocurrencies working alongside traditional currencies than entirely replacing them, a movement that is generating momentum each day. 

Before we launch into what the industry needs in order to go mainstream, let's first observe how we reached this pinnacle moment in the history of finance. 

How crypto officially got on the map

Bitcoin was created to provide an independent financial system to people that were thrown into serious debt following the global financial crisis. The digital currency was created to provide individuals with the opportunity to control their funds independently from any financial institution.

Since the advent of Bitcoin in 2009, cryptocurrencies have experienced interest from many groups of people, largely outside of mainstream media. In 2017, following a wild bull run, Bitcoin was first thrust into the mainstream media spotlight as it fast became the main topic of conversation across various news channels around the world. 

Fast forward three years to the pandemic. Following global market crashes, Bitcoin displayed impressive resistance and built its wealth back more quickly than many other assets and stock markets. This caught the eye of many large corporations, dispelling scepticism and leading one in particular to move their USD reserves into Bitcoin. Following Microstrategy's decision to buy large amounts of BTC, many other large corporations followed suit, with companies like PayPal and Square even incorporating cryptocurrencies into their systems. 

This wave of institutional investment not only increased the value of the markets but also helped to build confidence for retail investors to invest in such "risky" assets. This also played a large role in major corporations embarking on serious research and development of both blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. 

What crypto needs

Commonly used as an investment tool, cryptocurrencies were designed to facilitate faster and more economical transactions. Operating on a peer-to-peer basis, cryptocurrencies essentially cut out the middleman (and its fees) and make digital cash more readily available. 

As with most things in life, there are two significant camps for and against the mainstream use of cryptocurrencies. Those for the widespread adoption believe the spike in interest will continue on its upward trajectory, believing that very little could hinder its growth. Those against the growth argue that fluctuating market prices and uncertainty around the practical application will hinder its mainstream adoption. 

What cryptocurrencies likely need before any mainstream adoption is a well planned regulatory framework that can appease both the innovative technology and the merchants and consumers using it. Regulations are a necessary component to anything becoming mainstream, and the ones surrounding cryptocurrencies are vague at best. While many nations are working on creating and implementing these, there is still a gaping hole in the industry. 

Based on conversations taking place in the banking and fintech worlds, it is highly likely that in the coming years more traditional companies will expand to offer crypto-enabled financial services. As interest and access continue to grow, companies will need to follow suit if they wish to stay in the game. Large payment processing companies like Visa and Mastercard are already looking to provide crypto services, a key indicator as to where the market is headed.

What are the advantages of Bitcoin over existing currencies?

Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies, pose several advantages over fiat currencies. The biggest attribute to cryptocurrencies is that they are decentralized, meaning that they are not controlled by governments or banks, rather they are issued by the network and managed by the individual holding them. Instead of a government deciding to print more money thereby increasing inflation, cryptocurrencies are inflationary and instead created using a mining system that is controlled by various mechanisms.

Using blockchain technology, the digital cash systems provide an immutable and transparent ledger that records all the transactions and ownership, ensuring that funds are handled properly and with the correct measures. Cryptocurrencies also pose a much faster and cheaper means of sending money across borders, a huge advantage for businesses operating on a global level (i.e. sending funds from the U.S. to the United Kingdom).

The biggest advantage to crypto is that it is financially inclusive. Anyone around the world can partake in the payment system with no paperwork, previous financial statements or tedious processes required, it simply requires an internet connection.

What are the disadvantages of Bitcoin compared with existing currencies?

Currently, the disadvantages of cryptocurrencies are that they are not freely accepted around the world (yet). While the adoption levels are rising there is still a gap in how and where users can spend their cryptocurrencies. Another disadvantage is the market's volatility, posing potential inconsistencies between the price when making a payment and once the payment is received.

El Salvador leads the pack

In late 2021 El Salvador became the first country to initiate Bitcoin as a legal tender alongside the US dollar. The decision has accumulated many mixed reviews, with some hailing the president a revolutionary and others concerned he will crash the country's already fragile economy. Should his plan work out we're likely to see this happen again. 

In conclusion: Crypto is on an upward trajectory

With all things considered, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are here to stay. While cryptocurrencies might be a significant distance from becoming mainstream, they are far too integrated into our society and financial landscape to all but disappear. All things considered, the money is too great, the technology too innovative and the thought of financial inclusion too promising for any of it to go away. 

Sure, crypto markets reacting negatively to macroeconomic policy shifts is nothing new, but these “worse than expected” Liberation Day tariff announcements have been particularly brutal. 

Looking at the numbers, the sweeping tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump have resulted in mass liquidations. Almost a week later, $8.27 trillion has been wiped from global stock markets and $233 billion from crypto markets, bringing the overall crypto market cap down 8.5%.

But how exactly do tariffs influence crypto? The immediate reaction was a sharp downturn, with big names like Bitcoin falling below $82,000, and later $74,700, and Ethereum dropping to lows of $1,400. 

In the long term, could these economic policies position crypto as a safe haven? Let’s explore the interplay between trade policy, traditional finance, and crypto prices.

Firstly, what are tariffs, and how do they affect the markets?

In a nutshell, tariffs, or taxes on imported goods, create ripple effects across various financial markets. Historically, they have had an impact on:

• Foreign exchange (FX) markets: The USD typically strengthens when tariffs are imposed, as more global investors seek stability, and in response, a stronger USD often puts downward pressure on Bitcoin and altcoins.
• Equities: Stocks, particularly in sectors reliant on global trade, tend to decline as tariffs increase business costs and disrupt supply chains.
• Inflation & interest rates: Tariffs can contribute to higher consumer prices, influencing Federal Reserve policy and liquidity conditions, which in turn affect investment in risk assets like crypto.

The interconnected nature of these macroeconomic factors proves once again that digital assets are not insulated from traditional market turbulence. Let’s explore the damages.

Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcement

So, what happened? On 3 April, Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on U.S. imports, with 60 countries, including Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Bangladesh, facing tariffs of up to 50%. Companies in the EU will see 20% tariffs, all taking effect a week later. 

Previously announced 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and foreign-made cars remain in place.

How the crypto market responded

Never missing a beat, the crypto market reacted swiftly to the tariff announcements:

• Bitcoin has dropped ~10% since February. On 3 April, the price fell from $87,106 to $82,526 in a matter of hours, falling to lows of $74,700 days later. 
• Ethereum followed a similar trajectory, dipping to lows of $1,430.
• Altcoins were hit harder, with SOL dropping nearly 25% to $97.52 - its first dip below $100 since February 2024.
• Crypto-related equities tanked, with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) down 15%, and mining firms like MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms losing 11%.
• Correlation with equities strengthened, as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 also experienced sharp declines.

According to technical analysis, the overall market cap formed a bear flag pattern, signaling potential price declines (this pattern appears after a sharp drop, followed by a temporary upward channel). If the price breaks below this channel, a further decline is likely.

Why Bitcoin might bounce back

A note from the bears. Despite the initial sell-off, Bitcoin could see a rebound for several reasons:

• Bitcoin as "digital gold": During economic uncertainty, BTC has historically been viewed as a hedge against inflation and fiat devaluation.
• Institutional movements: Exchange outflows suggest that institutions are holding rather than panic-selling, reducing BTC liquidity and potentially driving prices higher in the future.
• Monetary policy shifts: If the Federal Reserve pivots toward rate cuts or quantitative easing (QE), Bitcoin could benefit from increased liquidity.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has argued that such macro conditions could push BTC toward $150,000 in the next cycle.

Do tariffs + the U.S. Dollar = a crypto opportunity?

The impact of tariffs on the U.S. dollar has direct implications for crypto:

• Reduced exports and lower bond demand could weaken the USD over time.
• A weaker dollar typically boosts Bitcoin, as investors look for alternative stores of value.
• Grayscale suggests that Bitcoin could benefit from a fragmented monetary landscape, particularly as central banks diversify reserves away from USD.

Tariffs, regulation & crypto’s role in the financial system

Trump’s policies could indirectly accelerate crypto adoption by:

• Increasing the use of crypto for trade settlements due to currency uncertainties.
• Encouraging alternative reserve assets beyond the U.S. dollar.
• Aligning with a potentially pro-crypto regulatory stance under a second Trump administration.

What should crypto investors do now?

Crypto investors should watch a few key things closely:

• When and how the new tariffs are rolled out, and if any changes are made along the way
• How other countries respond, especially with their own tariffs
• Changes in crypto regulations, as governments adjust to the new economic climate
• How money moves between traditional markets and crypto, which can impact prices and sentiment

• Consider long-term portfolio strategies, as crypto’s role in a shifting financial landscape could strengthen.

Conclusion: Tariffs may hurt now, but crypto could emerge stronger

While recent tariffs triggered a downturn across both traditional and crypto markets, it’s worth noting that this was driven more by uncertainty than fundamentals. As has previously been the case, crypto’s response is often tied to macro trends, with Liberation Day tariffs being no exception. 

The bottom line is that market dynamics are changing. As liquidity patterns shift and capital moves differently, crypto’s role within broader portfolios continues to evolve. While this can have both a positive and negative impact on portfolios, continuing to stay informed is the wisest step one could take.

La question revient sans cesse : quand sera miné le tout dernier Bitcoin ?
On s’est tous posé la question à un moment ou un autre, alors on a décidé de faire le point. Spoiler alert : ce n’est pas pour tout de suite.

Mais avant d’entrer dans le vif du sujet, il faut d’abord comprendre deux éléments clés : l’offre totale de Bitcoin et le mécanisme de halving (ou réduction des récompenses). Allez, on embarque ?

L’offre totale de Bitcoin

Quand le Bitcoin est apparu dans un whitepaper en 2008, le monde découvrait une nouvelle façon de concevoir la monnaie. Contrairement aux devises classiques gérées par des banques centrales, le Bitcoin repose sur un système décentralisé sans aucun intermédiaire.

En réponse à la crise financière de 2007-2009, son mystérieux créateur Satoshi Nakamoto a intégré un principe fort : il n’y aura jamais plus de 21 millions de BTC en circulation. Un choix qui rend le Bitcoin naturellement déflationniste, à l’inverse des monnaies traditionnelles que l’on peut imprimer à volonté.

En mai 2021, environ 18,7 millions de BTC avaient déjà été minés, soit près de 89 % de l’offre totale. Mais ne vous laissez pas tromper : le chemin est encore long avant d’atteindre les 100 %.

Le halving : un mécanisme bien pensé

Autre astuce géniale intégrée au protocole : le halving.
Tous les 210 000 blocs minés (environ tous les 4 ans), la récompense des mineurs est divisée par deux.

Petit rappel : les mineurs sont les personnes (ou machines) qui vérifient les transactions sur la blockchain. Pour chaque bloc validé, ils reçoivent une récompense en BTC. En 2009, cette récompense était de 50 BTC. Douze ans plus tard, elle est passée à 6,25 BTC… et continue de baisser.

Ce système permet de ralentir l’arrivée de nouveaux Bitcoins en circulation. Là où les banques peuvent injecter des masses d’argent (comme pendant la pandémie de Covid-19), le Bitcoin limite volontairement l’émission de sa monnaie. Résultat : un actif rare, potentiellement de plus en plus précieux.

Alors, c’est pour quand le dernier Bitcoin ?

Maintenant que vous avez les bases, passons à la fameuse question : combien de temps avant que tous les Bitcoins soient minés ?

La prochaine réduction de la récompense est prévue pour 2024, où elle passera à 3,125 BTC par bloc. Ensuite, on aura des halvings en 2028, 2032, etc. En 2032, plus de 99 % des BTC auront été extraits.

Mais cette dernière portion, si petite soit-elle, prendra du temps… beaucoup de temps.

À cause du halving, les récompenses deviennent minuscules au fil des décennies. Résultat ? Le tout dernier Bitcoin devrait être miné en… 2140.

Oui, vous avez bien lu. Encore plus d’un siècle à attendre. Autrement dit, nous ne serons sûrement plus là pour le voir.

Et après ?

Le Bitcoin est passé de quelques centimes à plusieurs dizaines de milliers de dollars en un peu plus de dix ans. Ce que l’avenir réserve est encore flou, mais une chose est sûre : le processus de minage, lui, est clair et défini.

Si vous souhaitez découvrir ou utiliser Bitcoin dès maintenant, l’appli Tap permet de l’acheter, le vendre, le stocker et même de le dépenser facilement.

Vous vous demandez quand le dernier Bitcoin sera miné ? Peut-être que c’est le moment de taper dans l’avenir.

Playing an important role in the adoption of Web3, Enjin provides a platform of software products designed to allow anyone to harness the power of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) through the development, trade, monetization, and marketing of blockchain assets.

The Enjin Coin (ENJ) is the native utility and governance token of the Enjin ecosystem. For gamers, developers and investors alike, ENJ matters because it bridges real-world value with digital goods, offering a means to turn in-game items into tradable assets. In this article you’ll learn what ENJ is, how it works, its key use-cases, how to buy it, its tokenomics, investment considerations and how it stacks up against other gaming tokens.

What Is the Enjin Platform?

The Enjin platform is an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products designed for individuals, game developers and businesses to create, manage and trade virtual goods such as digital art, games, or virtual marketplaces using the Ethereum blockchain. Enjin aims to provide users with the tools to implement smart digital solutions for blockchain games within the gaming environment.

Through the platform's software development kits (SDKs) and APIs, users can build digital assets as well as seamlessly integrate them into their games and applications. 

Under the Enjin umbrella is the Enjin Network, a community gaming platform that allows users to create websites, chat, and host virtual stores. Over the course of a decade, the Enjin platform has accumulated over 20 million users.

The ecosystem binds together gaming communities, game-asset markets and blockchain infrastructure. For example, a developer might create a limited edition in-game sword, mint it using ENJ as backing, list it on the marketplace, players trade it, and the underlying ENJ can be melted or reused. For developers, Enjin provides monetisation tools. For gamers, it provides ownership and portability of digital items.

Powering the ecosystem is the Enjin Coin (ENJ), a token used to back the value of NFTs and other assets minted on the platform. When an asset is minted it locks ENJ tokens into a smart contract and effectively removes the tokens from circulation.

It’s also worth noting that Witek Radomski, Enjin's co-founder and the brainchild behind the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard, wrote the code for the first non-fungible token (NFT). By utilizing its cutting-edge technology, Enjin is revolutionizing the future of gaming and digital assets.

Who Created Enjin?

Enjin was originally founded in 2009 as a gaming community platform by Maxim Blagov and Witek Radomski. Blagov took on the responsibility of being CEO and in charge of the platform's creative direction while Radomski took on the role of CTO, leading the technical development of the platform's products.

Following Radomski's interest in Bitcoin in 2012, the platform explored incorporating blockchain technology into its business model and embraced the world of tokenized digital assets.

Radomski went on to write the ERC-1155 token standard in June 2018, a token standard used for minting both fungible, semi-fungible and non-fungible tokens using the Ethereum network. This token standard is a critical building block in the platform’s design.

In 2017, the Enjin platform launched an initial coin offering (ICO), raising $18.9 million through ENJ token sales. A year later the project went live and in September 2019, the Enjin Marketplace was launched.

How Does Enjin Work?

The primary goal of the Enjin network is to facilitate the management and storage of virtual goods for games, anything from in-game currencies to unique in-game items. So, how does Enjin work? The process of creating and destroying these tokens involves five steps:

‍

• Purchase
  Developers purchase Enjin Coin. 
• Minting
  In-game items are designed and effectively minted with the appropriate amount of ENJ locked into a smart contract.
• Utilization
  Players use these tokens within the game.
• Trading
  Players trade the tokens between fellow players or on the internal or external marketplace.
• Melting
  Players sell the tokens for Enjin Coin, referred to as melting. The token is destroyed and Enjin Coin is released from the smart contract.

‍

SDKs (software development kits) come into play here, with kits designed to fulfill certain functions, such as facilitating a payment platform or being wallet-focused. These kits are designed to minimize costs and simplify the process of creating these virtual goods. APIs (application programming interfaces) work alongside the SDKs to integrate these virtual goods (digital assets) into the game.

The Enjin platform utilizes JumpNet which is integrated with other products in the ecosystem, such as the Marketplace, Enjin Beam, and the Enjin Wallet to allow for gas-free transactions for ENJ and NFTs.

The Enjin ecosystem encompasses the Enjin smart wallet that allows players to store and trade their in-game items with ease. The Enjin wallet is designed to connect all the features, from managing inventory to conducting transactions and selling these tokenized digital assets for ENJ. 

What is the Enjin Coin (ENJ)?

As we mentioned previously, Enjin Coin (ENJ) is the native token of the Enjin ecosystem. Built on the Ethereum blockchain and compatible with multiple gaming platforms, the Enjin Coin is an ERC-20 token that allows the in-game items created on the platform to be traded with real-world value. The ENJ token has a maximum supply of 1 billion coins.

The token also allows developers to mint these digital goods. The process requires the users to lock Enjin Coin (ENJ) into a smart contract that automatically assigns value to the in-game item. Players that later use these items can use them in the game, trade them or sell them for ENJ, equivalent to the original minting cost. Once sold, the item is destroyed (known as melting) and the ENJ that was locked in the smart contract is released to the seller.

How Can I Buy the Enjin Coin?

Anyone can tap into the Enjin ecosystem by acquiring ENJ tokens through the Tap mobile app. Simply create an account and complete the verification process in order to gain access to your unique Enjin wallet, from where you can buy, trade and sell Enjin Coin. 

Fully licensed and regulated, Tap provides a secure and convenient means of managing your funds, allowing users to manage and store both crypto and fiat currencies in one location. With a wide range of supported currencies and services, Tap is revolutionizing the financial space.

Take advantage of the power of Enjin Coin on the Tap app - the ultimate platform to buy, sell or hold ENJ. With seamless integration and an intuitive interface, trading Enjin tokens has never been easier. Stay up-to-date with the latest market trends and keep your portfolio on track by monitoring the Enjin Coin price in real-time. 

Bottom Line

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is more than just another cryptocurrency; it's the utility token powering a complete blockchain gaming ecosystem. It allows game studios to create, manage, and monetize digital assets, gives gamers true ownership and the ability to trade those assets, and offers investors exposure to where gaming, NFTs, and Web3 infrastructure converge.

That said, adoption rates, competition, and regulatory developments all play a role in ENJ’s future. If blockchain gaming, asset tokenization, and virtual economies interest you, ENJ presents a compelling option. Just make sure to do your research, evaluate the projects actually using it, and align any investment with your own goals and risk tolerance.
