Team research on stablecoins, prediction markets and financial infrastructure, with named authors and notes that explain what each chart measures.
Why read ParaFi?
Read ParaFi's Signals for a compact market argument you can check against its methodology. The Up/Down markets note explains binary contracts tied to price moves, then distinguishes notional volume from money paid or capital at risk. Its coverage notes also reveal why a headline comparison can mix different samples. Start with those definitions before using the growth figures.
The non-USD stablecoin note gives you a second example: token supply, trading volume and transfers describe different activities over different periods. The team compares EURC with other tokens, identifies the datasets and discloses an investment interest in Circle. This is useful for reading an institutional thesis while keeping the chart's scope and the firm's economic perspective visible.
