Bena Ilyas is a seasoned crypto writer spending over 4 years in the field. While scrolling through her favorite topics in the cryptoverse, she likes to cover the crypto market trends (with a keen eye on Bitcoin, Ethereum, hype-filled altcoins), ETF flows, regularity developments, fintech, blockchain-based games, and everything that relates to crypto or blockchain in some way. Before she dipped into cryptocurrencies in 2020, she was doing her MBA from Islamia University of Bahawalpur, but her curiosity about the fast-paced crypto industry set the stage for her journalism career soon after her MBA completion. Apart from CNF, Bena could be spotted on NewsBTC, Bitcoinist, CoinSpeaker, BTCPolitan, and Fuchawire as her past contribution to cryptocurrencies. Besides her contribution to these renowned crypto outlets, she was admired as an expert crypto trading analyst by the IME Institute BWP. Outside of work, she enjoys reading books and cooking delicious dishes in her spare time.
