About
Cryptoeconomics covers the economics of onchain markets: what is being tokenized, how it settles, who supervises it, and what the numbers behind it will and will not support.
What this is
This is a publication and a data platform in one. The publication side reports developments in tokenized markets and digital-asset regulation against the filings, rules and releases that evidence them. The data side maintains the series those developments are argued about with (issuance, transfer volume, float, network economics), each held to a stated method and a stated cadence.
The two halves exist together deliberately. A market story without a number is an anecdote, and a number without a story is a screenshot. Most coverage of this market supplies one and borrows the other; the point of building both here is that a claim on this site can be followed all the way down to the thing it came from.
What we cover
Coverage is organised around three axes: the classes of asset being tokenized, from money-market and treasury instruments through private credit, funds, equities, commodities and receivables; the systems that make onchain markets work, including issuance and settlement mechanics, market microstructure, custody, collateral, governance and protocol economics; and the institutions involved, from issuers and custodians to exchanges, settlement systems, supervisors and standards bodies.
Coverage is global. Regimes in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland, the Gulf and Japan get the attention their market share warrants, and so do the places where onchain settlement is already doing real economic work rather than being piloted: parts of Africa, Latin America and South and Southeast Asia. Those markets are covered in proportion to what happens in them, neither inflated as a narrative nor left out as a footnote.
How the site is made
Developments are gathered continuously from a registered set of sources (regulators, courts, exchanges, issuers, standards bodies, statistical agencies and data providers) and grouped so that one development is one story rather than eight near-duplicates. The desk writes the summary, the account of what happened and the account of why it matters; it does not reproduce anyone else's reporting, and it credits every outlet whose work it read on the story page.
Data series are refreshed on a stated cadence. Where a provider exposes an endpoint the reader's own browser can reach, the figure updates in the page and says so. Where it does not, the figure shows the value as of the last build and says that instead. Nothing here is labelled live because it looks better that way.
Who runs it
Cryptoeconomics is founded and edited by Olaoluwa Samuel-Biyi, founder & editor, co-founder of Busha, a leading African digital-asset exchange.
That second role is disclosed here rather than buried, because it is a live interest in a market this publication covers. Coverage of exchanges, and of Busha in particular, is held to the same sourcing standard as everything else, and where Busha is a party to a development the connection is stated in the story itself.
Independence and funding
The publication takes no payment for coverage, does not accept sponsored posts, and does not sell placement in any index, register or timeline on this site. Where any commercial relationship exists with an institution named in a story, that relationship is disclosed in the story.
Corrections
Errors are corrected in place, with the correction stated on the page rather than quietly patched. Where a development was later reversed, both the original entry and the reversal stand: the record is not tidied to look prescient.
