Cryptophia Research publishes evidence-first work for crypto decisions where assumptions, dependencies and failure modes matter more than narrative speed.
This page is the working index for original research, reusable decision frameworks and the latest analysis from Sophia Lopez. Start with the frameworks when you need a method you can apply to your own data, wallet setup, exchange route or risk decision.
Journalists and researchers looking for citation-ready summaries, original visuals and author background can use Press & Research Resources.
Record the metric definition, address or entity set, transformation, time boundary and revision policy before treating a blockchain chart as an economic fact.
Map custody failures to exposure signals, what a hardware signer can reduce, residual risk, additional controls and an incident-response path.
Compare the complete route from funding and FX through spread, execution, withdrawal, settlement and records instead of relying on one advertised trading fee.
Audit account completeness, transfer matching, acquisition history, classifications, valuations and source evidence before trusting tax-software output.
Separate thesis conviction from position size, leverage, liquidity, counterparty, custody, protocol, stablecoin, governance and exit-route risk.
See the evidence standard behind the frameworks: primary sources first, explicit limitations, failure modes before rankings and conclusions that can change when the evidence changes.
Hardware wallets, seed recovery, permissions and transaction security—judged by the failures they remove and the failures they introduce.
Liquidity, leverage, ETF flows, stablecoins and on-chain evidence—separating observable data from the story built on top of it.
Analytics platforms, portfolio and tax tools—reviewed around data quality, methodology, evidence limits and the workflow they improve.
Exchange structure, legal entity, route cost, withdrawal paths and jurisdiction-sensitive risks—evaluated beyond headline trading fees.
