Fiat Currency vs Crypto: Key Disadvantages Explained
Explore the major flaws of fiat money and cryptocurrencies, from inflation and political control to volatility and regulatory risks, and see how each system stacks up.
When you open the March 2025 DeFi Freak Archive, a curated set of articles, guides, and market reports published throughout March 2025 on DeFi Freak. Also known as March 2025 Crypto Archive, it shows what moved the crypto world that month and why it matters to you. DeFi Freak built this collection so you can catch up on the biggest trends without scrolling through endless feeds.
In March we saw a surge of activity around DeFi, decentralized finance protocols that let anyone lend, borrow, or trade without a traditional bank. That surge required a deeper look at smart‑contract security, so our "Smart‑Contract Audits 101" guide broke down the audit process step by step. At the same time, cryptocurrency, digital assets that use cryptography to secure transactions and control new units prices swung wildly—Bitcoin cracked $70k, while altcoins like Solana and Polkadot posted double‑digit gains after network upgrades. Those price moves influenced the yield‑farming strategies we covered in "High‑Yield Pools Worth Watching", showing how market momentum directly shapes DeFi earnings.
Parallel to the crypto buzz, blockchain, the distributed ledger technology that underpins all crypto assets kept evolving. March introduced the much‑anticipated Ethereum Shanghai upgrade, which unlocked faster withdrawals for stakers. Our "Ethereum Shanghai Explained" piece laid out the technical changes and why they matter for everyday users. We also reviewed new Layer‑2 solutions that promise lower fees, tying back to the central theme that DeFi Freak emphasizes: accessibility matters.
Not all the focus was on pure crypto. The stock market, publicly traded equities and related financial instruments experienced its own roller coaster as tech earnings season kicked off. Our "Tech Earnings Impact on Crypto" article mapped the ripple effect, explaining how a single earnings beat can shift investor sentiment across both worlds. This crossover requires investors to understand macro trends, a skill we highlighted in the "Macro‑Macro Guide" that blends traditional finance with digital assets.
Below you’ll find the full lineup of March 2025 pieces, from deep‑dive token breakdowns and verified airdrop alerts to quick‑look exchange comparisons and real‑time market dashboards. Whether you’re a seasoned trader looking for the next yield farm or a newcomer wanting a plain‑English intro to blockchain, the archive offers something practical for every skill level.
