This figure has continued to rise amid the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
Operation Economic Fury Sends Iran Into Crisis: US Treasury Secretary
Earlier in the month, Bessent disclosed that the US government had confiscated $500 million in Iranian crypto assets. On Friday, May 29th, barely a month later, Bessent announced at the Reagan National Economic Forum that this figure has now climbed above the $1 billion mark.
These crypto seizures form part of a broader strategy named &#8220;Operation Economic Fury,&#8221; which, according to Bessent, has squeezed the Iranian government into an economic crisis. The campaign, launched in April 2026, was said to be targeting Iran&#8217;s illegal oil smuggling networks, shadow financing, and &#8220;regional maritime extortion&#8221; around the Strait of Hormuz.
Bessent said at the conference:
I think between five and a half-six weeks of an incredibly successful military campaign, and then Operation Economic Fury, where we have really cut them off. And they are at the end of their tether now financially. I think 40 or 50% of the [Iranian] troops aren&#8217;t getting paid. Police aren&#8217;t reporting to the station. Inflation is probably over 200%. They&#8217;re having to give out food vouchers. They have turned off the internet.
According to the Treasury Secretary, their efforts have been aided by allies in Europe, who have helped with the seizure of villas and other properties believed to have been funded by money stolen from the Iranian people. Bessent revealed that the Iranian regime was stealing $400 to $500 million — shared among a group of leaders — every month.
This revelation comes after news that the United States and Iran have drafted a framework to extend their ceasefire by 60 more days, with the agreement awaiting US President Donald Trump&#8217;s approval. Despite Trump&#8217;s meeting with his national security team on Friday and claiming a &#8220;final determination&#8221; on Iran, recent reports suggest that the meeting ended without a final decision on a new deal.
One of the major talking points still holding up the agreement is the uncertainties around unfreezing the seized Iranian funds, including the crypto assets. While there is no suggestion that this would be the case for the seized Iranian digital assets, it is worth mentioning that Bessent had hinted at using seized crypto (specifically) to build up its strategic reserve rather than buying.
Crypto Market Cap Overview

The case, filed at the US Southern District of Texas, seeks several penalties against the defendant for allegedly defrauding 150 victims.
In a press release on May 28, the SEC stated that Fuller had adverted to and sold interests in a joint-venture crypto trading scheme under the company Privvy Investments LLC, linked to the business names Privvy Investments and Gateway Digital Investments. The man from Cypress allegedly promised some investors gains of 40%-50% within 30 days, and others a ridiculously audacious return of 100% in 21 days.
The Commission explains that Nathan Fuller had lured unsuspecting victims of his fraudulent scheme with a business model centered around AI-based trading bots that executed high-frequency arbitrage trading on several crypto exchanges. Moreover, the insurance promises included a surety bond, a professional liability insurance policy, and clearance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
150 Investors Swindled In Classic Crypto Ponzi Scheme
According to the SEC’s report, Fuller’s crypto asset investment fraud ran from around October 2022 to mid 2024. Over this period, the defendant raised $12.3 million from 150 investors. Despite promises of lofty gains from an AI-enabled trading bot, the SEC’s investigations revealed that Fuller had grossly misappropriated investors&#8217; funds for two primary purposes.
Firstly, the Texas resident had spent $6.2 million on personal expenses, including luxury items, gambling tours, and a house valued at nearly $1 million for his ex-wife. Meanwhile, Fuller also deployed $5.5 million to make Ponzi-like payments, thereby creating an illusion of a functional trading scheme to keep attracting more investors.
Fuller is charged with violating Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, which cover the unlawful offer and sale of unregistered securities, as well as fraudulent and deceptive practices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities.
The Commission is pressing for multiple penalties against Fuller, including permanent injunctions, restitution of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and imposition of civil monetary penalties.

While many players were still treating ETH as a secondary asset, Bit Digital began positioning itself around ETH’s long-term potential as the backbone of decentralized finance, staking, and tokenized economies.
Ethereum’s Role As A Settlement Layer Continues To Expand
In a recent post on X, Bit Digital revealed that the company recognized Ethereum as a core strategic balance sheet asset years before the institutional consensus broadly embraced its role as the settlement infrastructure rail for crypto. Bit Digital anchored its thesis to a simple dynamic that usage and adoption continue to expand, while the price remains compressed.
As stablecoin settlement, tokenization, and on-chain financial activity continue to scale, ETH&#8217;s real-world usage has steadily increased regardless of market volatility. When the infrastructure layer individuals have been steadily accumulating becomes cheaper, and real-world utility continues to grow, the capital allocation decision becomes clearer.
The firm emphasized that its stack position has been diligently built over multiple market cycles, and its recent ETH purchase is a continuation of that strategic asset framework. Bit Digital also explains that it was early to recognize ETH as an asset suitable for a public company&#8217;s balance sheet, and that the company&#8217;s recent ETH purchase is a continuation of a long-standing thesis at a price the market made available.
One of the strongest signals emerging from the real-world asset (RWA) market is the growing dominance of Ethereum as the primary settlement layer for the majority of tokenized financial assets. According to Pharos post, this trend is not being driven by institutions suddenly becoming more crypto-native. Instead, capital markets fundamentally value neutral settlement layers, credible infrastructure, and composability across financial applications.
Meanwhile, as the RWAs sector continues to scale, chains will increasingly compete on settlement credibility rather than community culture or market narratives. The next phase of tokenization will not be defined by who can launch assets fastest, but by who can support compliant and globally coordinated financial activity that could emerge at scale.
Large ETH Holders Continue Accumulating During Market Weakness
Ethereum is showing strong signs of quiet accumulation by large holders, a pattern often associated with early-stage bullish positioning. Crypto analyst Lucky has noted that the data reveal that wallets holding 100,000 ETH have increased their collective balance to around 17.41 million ETH, marking a 9-week high and accounting for roughly 22% of the circulating supply.
This type of behavior is what long-term investors watch closely because it reflects strategic accumulation during periods of price weakness, which is a very strong bullish setup for ETH.

During this time, Bitcoin has faced multiple rejections at the $82,000 price zone, triggering a sustained downward trend since mid-May. In his latest market analysis, renowned expert Maartunn has provided insight into this decline, a fragile market structure shaped by multiple layers of sell-offs. 
In an X post on May 29, Maartunn reports that Bitcoin’s price has now dropped by 11% over the last 14 days. However, in-depth market research shows that this price loss is merely a symptom of a concerning structural issue in the sector, marked by the concurrent exit of various market participants.
One of these actors is the future traders who are taking aggressive selling positions. According to data from CryptoQuant, selling pressure in the derivatives market has reached its highest level since March, with net taker volume plunging to -$948 million. On average, sellers have exceeded buyers by roughly $40 million per hour, indicating a sustained pressure rather than a one-off event. Bitcoin is down 11% in the last 14 days.
The sell-off isn&#39;t just showing up in price:
• Futures traders are aggressively selling• US spot investors are reducing exposure• ETF outflows continue to accelerate
The data points to one of the strongest waves of selling… pic.twitter.com/nzeMu9X2Yq
&mdash; Maartunn (@JA_Maartun) May 29, 2026
Meanwhile, US spot market participants appear to be leaning bearish. On-chain metrics reveal that Coinbase is trading at a 0.21% discount compared to Binance, reflecting a negative Coinbase Premium. This negative spread indicates that selling pressure is stronger among US-based investors, as Bitcoin is being offloaded more aggressively on Coinbase than on offshore exchanges.
Finally, institutional investors are also adopting a more cautious stance marked by two consecutive weeks of outflows. Over this period, approximately $1 billion has been withdrawn from iShares Bitcoin Trust in the past week alone. This sustained reduction in institutional exposure signals a notable decline in demand, adding another layer of resistance to any near-term bullish breakout.
Positive Signs Exist, But Market Recovery Remains Historically Far Away
Amid the negative and concerning dominant market trends, Maartunn importantly notes early positive signals suggesting a potential market rebound. One of these signals is the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) indicator, which is rising, suggesting that stablecoin liquidity is increasing relative to Bitcoin’s market value. This condition often precedes renewed buying power.
Additionally, net taker volume is nearing typical exhaustion levels, indicating that aggressive selling pressure may be nearing its limit. Such extreme sell-side conditions have often marked local bottoms, as “smart money” tends to step in during periods of capitulation to accumulate positions at discounted levels. 
However, while a short-term relief rally remains possible, the case for a sustained long-term recovery appears less convincing at this stage. Historical data show that Bitcoin’s cycle lows have typically formed significantly later after each halving event, i.e., around 889 days in 2016, and 925 days in the 2020 cycle. In comparison, the current cycle is only about 768 days post-halving, suggesting that the market may still be within a broader corrective phase rather than approaching a definitive macro bottom.
Bitcoin Market Overview

The state&#8217;s comptroller office released the requirement last Thursday alongside the announcement of a new advisory committee formed to guide the reserve&#8217;s operations.
Going Direct
Texas has been sitting on $10 million worth of BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust, a spot ETF used as a temporary position while the state worked out a longer-term plan.
That plan is now taking shape, and it means moving away from ETF exposure entirely toward Bitcoin held directly in the state&#8217;s name.
BREAKING: TEXAS JUST ANNOUNCED THEY ARE PLANNING TO BUY MORE #BITCOIN FOR THEIR RESERVES
1st STATE TO BUY BTC OPENLY.

— The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_) May 29, 2026
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a request for proposals on May 7, calling for a custody and liquidity provider to handle the transition.
The winning firm will have 60 days after contract signing to move the existing IBIT holdings into directly custodied Bitcoin.
The scope of work goes well beyond simply storing coins. According to the procurement document, the provider must handle acquisitions, sales, ongoing management, and reporting — covering the full range of tasks needed to run a functioning state-level Bitcoin reserve.
Who Will Advise
Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock named four people to the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Advisory Committee. They are Laurie Dotter, a veteran investment executive; Jamie McAvity, founder and CEO of Cormint Data Systems; Carla Reyes, a digital asset law professor at Southern Methodist University; and Gary Vecchiarelli, president and CFO of CleanSpark.
The committee&#8217;s role covers custody arrangements, risk management, and how the state reports performance to lawmakers. It will also weigh in on broader investment strategy for the reserve going forward.
Officials said the reserve could eventually hold assets beyond Bitcoin. The RFP language leaves the door open to other large-cap cryptocurrencies, though no specifics were named.
A Reserve Built On Law
The reserve was created through state legislation backed by supporters who argued Bitcoin could act as a buffer against inflation and economic swings over time. Texas allocated $10 million to fund it, using IBIT as a bridge position from the start.
The public transparency website is among the more unusual features of the plan. Texas would essentially be publishing a live ledger of its crypto holdings, updated in real time, accessible to anyone.
Proposals from interested custody firms are being accepted through the state&#8217;s procurement portal.

Specifically, the paper discussed cross-border payments and how crypto assets such as XRP could serve as a bridge currency. 
Fed Chairman’s Research Paper Highlights XRP’s Utility
In an X post, Tom mentioned that the new Fed chairman co-authored a paper naming XRP as a liquidity solution between stablecoins. He further mentioned that the paper clearly states that private sector infrastructure should not be ruled out in future digital money systems. The OpenFind founder noted that this is proof that private infrastructure providers like Ripple are becoming critical components of the financial system. 
Tom added that Ripple is one of the very few companies that has spent decades positioning for this moment. The 2022 paper discussed the possibility of a Special Drawing Rights-based stablecoin that can be exchanged for any national currency. The paper noted that such an arrangement could resemble the cross-border payments system that Ripple operates using XRP. 
Notably, the altcoin serves as the bridge currency in Ripple’s cross-border payments service, allowing customers to swap the crypto asset for their desired currency. Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz had previously commented on its role as a bridge currency, noting that it has more advantages over stablecoins since there isn’t one consensus stablecoin to settle these transactions in. 
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the new Fed chair is pro-crypto and had disclosed his crypto exposure prior to his nomination hearing. As the Fed chair, Kevin Warsh could soon have direct regulatory oversight over Ripple, considering that the crypto firm has applied for a Fed master account. The Fed is currently considering launching a skinny master account that would provide these firms with access to the central bank’s payment rails. 
Ripple Stepping Into The Trillion-Dollar Market
Pundit X Finance Bull noted that Ripple is stepping into the trillion-dollar market, as Ripple Prime has been confirmed as part of DTCC’s blockchain ecosystem. He pointed out that DTCC clears $114 trillion in securities annually, and now they are about to begin 24/5 near-continuous U.S. equities processing from Sunday through Friday. 
X Finance Bull further highlighted how this is bullish for XRP, as Ripple Prime’s infrastructure has been embedded in the development of tokenized securities. He also suggested that the market hasn’t priced in how bullish this is, stating that the altcoin is still priced as if market participants haven’t read the production schedule. The bull case is that some of this volume could flow through XRP if the DTCC clears tokenized equities on the XRP Ledger. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.35, up over 3%, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The price is under pressure — and top analyst Axel Adler has identified a development in the institutional wallet data that adds a specific supply dimension to the current weakness that the price chart alone does not reveal.
BlackRock and Strategy-affiliated wallets have moved Bitcoin into Coinbase Prime infrastructure. The movement is documented and confirmed. What remains unconfirmed is the intent behind it — a sale has not yet been executed, and the transfer into Coinbase Prime&#8217;s custody and settlement infrastructure does not automatically constitute distribution. Large institutional participants move Bitcoin through Prime infrastructure for a range of reasons that include rebalancing, collateral management, and operational transfers that do not result in open market selling.
What the transfer does create is a supply overhang. Bitcoin that has moved into exchange-adjacent infrastructure is Bitcoin that is closer to the sell side than Bitcoin sitting in cold storage. The market now faces a specific and measurable question: Is the demand currently present at and below $75,000 sufficient to absorb whatever volume these wallets ultimately direct toward the open market?
Adler&#8217;s analysis frames the current moment as a test of demand rather than a confirmation of selling, and the market&#8217;s response to that test is what the next sessions will reveal.
7048 BTC From BlackRock and 411 BTC From Strategy
The Axel Adler analysis documents the transaction chain with precision that removes ambiguity about what moved and where it went. On May 28, 7,048.324 BTC traveled the route from IBIT wallets through a BlackRock Coinbase Prime deposit address into Coinbase Prime itself. The metric tracks this specific pathway because it represents a logistical movement of meaningful scale — not an internal bookkeeping transfer but a deliberate repositioning of coins from storage infrastructure into a venue where liquidity can be accessed.
The Strategy-affiliated component adds a second thread to the same destination. An intermediate address received 206.169 BTC and 205.312 BTC from wallets Arkham attributes to Strategy. Approximately fifteen minutes later the combined 411.480 BTC moved to Coinbase Prime. The intermediate address carries no direct corporate label but the transaction chain is sufficiently clear to speak confidently about Strategy-affiliated funds moving into exchange infrastructure.
The analytical framing Adler applies to both movements is identical and honest. Neither transfer confirms an immediate sale. What both confirm is a state change — coins that were in storage mode are now in potential liquidity mode. Supply has moved closer to the order book from two separate institutional sources on the same day. Whether that supply becomes active selling or simply represents operational repositioning is what the market must now absorb and answer through its price response.
Bitcoin Sits At A Defining Weekly Support Level
Bitcoin is trading near $73,700 on the weekly timeframe, placing the market directly on one of the most important support zones of the current cycle. After peaking above $120,000 in late 2025, BTC entered a prolonged correction that ultimately drove price toward the $63,000-$66,000 demand area, where buyers stepped in aggressively during February. That defense established the foundation for the recovery seen throughout March and April.
The chart now shows Bitcoin retesting the upper support zone around $72,000-$74,000 after failing to sustain momentum above $80,000. This region previously acted as resistance during the recovery phase and is now being tested as support. From a market structure perspective, this is a critical moment. Bulls need to hold this level to preserve the series of higher lows that has been developing since the February bottom.
The moving averages paint a mixed picture. Price remains below the 50-week and 100-week moving averages, confirming that the broader trend is still under pressure. However, Bitcoin continues to trade well above the rising 200-week moving average near $61,000, indicating that the long-term bull market structure has not yet been invalidated.
Volume has remained relatively moderate during the latest pullback, suggesting that large-scale capitulation has not emerged. If buyers defend the current zone, Bitcoin could attempt another push toward $80,000. A breakdown below $72,000, however, would likely shift attention back to the major support region between $63,000 and $66,000, where the strongest demand of 2026 previously appeared.

OKX, KIS Become Coinone’s Third-Largest Stakeholders
On Friday, Coinone announced it had signed strategic investment agreements with Korea Investment &amp; Securities, one of South Korea’s major brokerage firms, and OKX Ventures, the investment arm of the global crypto exchange OKX.
The Korean Herald reported that the companies will acquire roughly 20% stake each for $53 million through newly issued shares and existing shares sold by the platform’s two largest shareholders, Coinone CEO Cha Myung-hoon and Com2uS Holdings.
The crypto exchange’s CEO will remain the largest shareholder with a 30.36% stake, while Com2uS Holdings will continue to hold the second place at 24.54%. Following the transaction, Korea Investment &amp; Securities and OKX Ventures will become the joint third-largest stakeholders.
The brokerage firm affirmed that the investment in the crypto exchange is more than an equity acquisition, being intended as a foundation for expanding into the digital assets sector.
“This marks the first step in expanding beyond traditional finance into blockchain-based digital financial services,” Korea Investment &amp; Securities CEO Kim Sung-hwan said, adding that the company seeks to position itself as a leading player in emerging areas, including tokenized securities, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial services.
According to the report, Coinone affirmed that the partnership with OKX Ventures aims to provide access to international market knowledge and strengthen investor protection, security, and risk management capabilities.
Netero Dai, vice president of OKX Global Markets, asserted that its joint investment with the South Korean brokerage firm reflects its conviction to build the future of finance on “compliant, well-regulated” infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Coinone CEO asserted it would continue working with regulators on procedures related to the shareholder changes, and shared plans to hold a joint media briefing with Com2uS Holdings, OKX Ventures, and Korea Investment &amp; Securities to discuss the partnership and future areas of cooperation.
South Korea’s Crypto Exchange Investment Race Heats Up
Financial officials said local brokerage firms are increasing investments in crypto exchanges to gain a foothold in the country’s emerging digital asset market as Korean authorities move to establish a broader regulatory framework, The Korea Times stated.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) proposed to cap major shareholders’ stakes in crypto exchanges at around 15%-20%, similar to the framework for securities exchanges and other trading systems. The measure aims to “align governance standards with the exchanges’ increasing public role,” FSC’s Chairman Lee Eog-weon affirmed at the start of the year.
Since then, multiple firms have ramped up their investment in the country’s top crypto exchanges. In February, Mirae Asset Financial Group’s holding company, Mirae Asset Consulting, announced the acquisition of a 92% stake in Korbit for roughly $88.7 million.
Hanwha Investment &amp; Securities agreed to raise its stake in Dunamu, the operator of the country’s largest crypto exchange, Upbit, from 5.94% to 9.84%. Earlier this month, Hana Financial Group, one of South Korea’s largest banking conglomerates, revealed it had agreed to purchase a 6.55% stake in Dunamu for approximately $670 million, marking the largest single investment a South Korean bank has ever made in a digital asset company.
Similarly, Samsung announced on Thursday that three of its affiliates had acquired a combined 4% stake in Dunamu for $408 million. The company affirmed that the investment aimed to create new opportunities tied to digital assets.

The price action is frustrating for bulls who expected the recovery from the February lows to deliver more, and XWIN Research Japan has published an analysis that identifies the structural reason the recovery has stalled in a way that goes considerably deeper than technical resistance or short-term sentiment.
The most important market theme since May 2026 has been a divergence that most participants have noticed but fewer have fully explained: stocks are near highs while Bitcoin is struggling, despite both being classified as risk assets that should theoretically move in the same direction under the same macro conditions.
XWIN Research Japan&#8217;s explanation for that divergence is structural rather than incidental. The engines driving stock prices and Bitcoin prices have separated. Today&#8217;s equity rally is supported by AI-related earnings growth, capital expenditure from companies like NVIDIA, aggressive share buyback programs, and continued ETF inflows into equity products. Investors are buying stocks because future profit growth is visible, quantifiable, and being delivered in quarterly earnings reports.
Bitcoin has no earnings and no cash flow. Its price depends on something different entirely — and that something is currently moving in the wrong direction.
Bitcoin Liquidity Is Leaving
The XWIN Research Japan report identifies the demand deterioration with data that removes ambiguity about what is driving the divergence. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded large outflows during the second half of May — the institutional demand channel that provided the most reliable source of new capital has reversed direction precisely when the price most needs it to hold.
On-chain data confirms the same story from a different angle: active addresses declining, transaction activity falling, and network participation slowing. CryptoQuant shows Bitcoin active addresses trending lower since 2024 even as the S&amp;P 500 continues making highs.
The issue is not simply price weakness — it is weakening network participation occurring simultaneously. In strong Bitcoin cycles, rising prices and growing user activity reinforce each other. That dynamic is currently running in reverse.
The structural contrast with equities defines the problem precisely. Stocks rise because companies generate profits. Bitcoin rises when new liquidity and new participants enter the market. Capital is currently flowing toward the former and away from the latter.
The recovery conditions are specific. Bitcoin needs stronger ETF inflows, rising on-chain activity, an improving Coinbase Premium, and a weaker dollar. Stock market strength alone satisfies none of those requirements. The real question is not whether equities remain strong — it is whether new demand returns to Bitcoin itself.
Bitcoin Tests Major Support Zone As Sellers Press Their Advantage
Bitcoin continues to trade under pressure, with the price now sitting near $73,600 after losing momentum from the May rally that briefly pushed BTC above $82,000. The daily chart shows a clear rejection from the 200-day moving average, which remains overhead near the $80,000 region and continues to define the broader bearish structure that has been in place since late 2025.
The most important area on the chart is the support zone between $72,000 and $74,000. This region acted as resistance throughout March and April before eventually breaking higher in mid-April, making it a key area of former resistance now being tested as support. Bitcoin is currently attempting to hold this zone while trading directly around its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, creating a critical decision point for the market.
Volume remains relatively subdued compared to the capitulation event seen in February, suggesting that panic selling has not yet emerged despite the recent decline. However, buyers have also failed to show aggressive accumulation, leaving the market vulnerable to additional downside if support breaks.
A daily close below $72,000 would significantly weaken the current structure and expose the February-March demand zone around $65,000. Conversely, if bulls successfully defend current levels, Bitcoin could attempt another recovery toward $77,000 and eventually retest the $80,000-$82,000 resistance region where sellers recently regained control.

That exit came the same week Bit Digital went the other direction — dropping $20 million to add more to its already substantial Ethereum stash.
A Company Building Around Ethereum
Bit Digital acquired 8,568 ETH on May 11 at an average price of $2,334 per token, pushing its total holdings to roughly 158,462 ETH. The Nasdaq-listed company said the purchase was part of a broader strategy to grow net asset value per share through Ethereum accumulation, AI infrastructure, and acquisitions.
According to CEO Sam Tabar, the deal helped trim the firm&#8217;s average purchase price. Bit Digital operates across three areas: Ethereum treasury management, AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, and strategic acquisitions, with its WhiteFiber subsidiary trading on Nasdaq under the ticker WYFI.
The purchase moved Bit Digital past Coinbase Global — which held about 151,175 ETH — to become the fourth-largest public corporate holder of Ether, based on CoinGecko data.
Other Firms Are Piling In Too
Bit Digital is not alone. Bitmine Immersion Technologies made its largest ETH purchase of the year earlier this week, buying 111,942 Ether. Chairman Tom Lee said Ethereum stands to benefit from a crypto supercycle driven by tokenization and AI-powered agents.
Based on CoinGecko data, Bitmine Immersion currently ranks as the largest public Ethereum treasury holder, with more than 5 million ETH.
The buying spree is happening even as ETH trades well below its recent highs. The token was priced around $2,013 at the time of reporting, down about 30% year-to-date and nearly 60% off its August 2025 peak near $4,946.
Price Lags While Network Activity Holds Steady
Standard Chartered released a report Thursday arguing that Ethereum&#8217;s on-chain metrics tell a different story than the price. Transaction activity and total value locked on the network remain near record levels, the bank said, despite the sharp drop in token value.
The bank&#8217;s global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, held to a price target of $4,000 for ETH by end of 2026 and $40,000 by 2030. He said growth in stablecoin use and tokenization activity on Ethereum could close the gap between network usage and token price.
Hoffman, meanwhile, acknowledged that Ethereum&#8217;s network may keep expanding through stablecoins, tokenization, and layer-2 activity. His concern is that only a limited share of that growth ends up benefiting ETH holders directly.

Bitcoin Total Supply In Loss Has Shot Up Recently
In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Total Supply in Loss. This indicator measures, as its name suggests, the total amount of BTC that&#8217;s currently being held at some net unrealized loss.
The metric works by going through the transaction history of each token in circulation to determine the price at which it was last involved in a transfer on the blockchain. If this last selling value was more than the latest spot price for any token, then that particular coin is assumed to be held at a loss right now.
The Total Supply in Loss counts up all tokens fulfilling this condition. A counterpart indicator called the Total Supply in Profit takes care of the supply of the opposite type (that is, the coins with a cost basis lower than the current price).
Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the 7-hour simple moving average (SMA) of the Bitcoin Total Supply in Loss over the last couple of years:
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Total Supply in Loss observed a decline during April and the first half of May as the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price enjoyed a recovery surge. At the asset&#8217;s top, the underwater supply shrank to levels below 7 million BTC. For comparison, the metric neared the 10 million mark following the crash in February.
Some of the supply that had escaped the loss territory, however, are now back in the red as a result of the price drawdown that Bitcoin has faced in the second half of May. The cryptocurrency&#8217;s retrace to $76,600 had already taken the Total Supply in Loss to a value of 7.75 million BTC, and now, the latest leg down to $73,000 has meant that the indicator has further gone up to 8.33 million BTC.
Naturally, the fact that a notable 580,000 BTC went into loss just because of this new drawdown implies that the $73,000 to $76,600 range saw the change of hands of a significant amount of supply. &#8220;This cohort adds to near-term sell pressure as holders reassess their positions into the correction,&#8221; noted the analytics firm.
Currently, the network is still in a better state than it was in February, but it only remains to be seen whether that will be the case going forward.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $73,200, down more than 5% over the past week.

The proposed update, called AMM Swappable Curves, will allow XRPL users and liquidity providers to choose different pricing models when creating liquidity pools. This would mark a major upgrade to XLS-30, XRPL’s current Automated Market Maker (AMM) system, which launched on the mainnet in March 2024.
How XRP’s Proposed DeFi Upgrade Changes Things For Users
Currently, the original XRPL AMM uses only one curve model called the “constant product” system. This model works well for volatile assets, but can be less effective for stablecoins or tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The new proposal, announced by the XRP Ledger Foundation in an X post on May 26, aims to solve that problem by introducing two additional models, StableSwap and concentrated liquidity, for Ledger users and investors.
According to the Ledger Foundation, these new options could improve capital efficiency and reduce price slippage. They said that it also offers more accurate pricing across several markets, including foreign exchange, stablecoins, RWAs, and DeFi trading.
The proposal also mentions an upgrade called the pluggable curve architecture. With this new update, liquidity pool creators will finally be able to choose the pricing formula that best matches the type of assets being traded on the Ledger. Instead of forcing every market into a single system, the AMM could support multiple trading models simultaneously.
Notably, the upgrade proposal was filed by core developers Denis Angell and Roman Thpt. It is currently still in the draft stage, meaning validators have not yet approved it. If passed, the amendment would extend XLS-30 without replacing or disrupting existing liquidity pools already running on the Ledger.
Why The Proposal Matters For Stablecoins and RWAs
On GitHub, the Foundation further explained the StableSwap model in its XLS-30 upgrade proposal. StableSwap is designed for assets such as USDT and USDC, as well as tokenized RWAs tied to fiat currencies. Since these assets trade around the same value and see very limited price swings compared to cryptocurrencies like XRP and Bitcoin, StableSwap can offer tighter pricing and lower slippage during trades.
The proposal also mentions a curve diversity feature. Under this structure, the Ledger would no longer force every asset pair to use the same trading model. For example, volatile assets like XRP or meme coins experience sharp price movements, so the current the Ledger model works well for them. However, since stablecoins like USDT and USDC tend to stay close in value, the model becomes less efficient, sometimes even resulting in worse pricing during trades.
Overall, the proposal would allow the Ledger developers and users to choose the trading system that best suits the assets in a pool. Stablecoins could use StableSwap to keep prices steadier and reduce price swings during trades. Meanwhile, larger traders and liquidity providers could use concentrated liquidity pools to place funds closer to active trading prices and make better use of their money.

While the rebound may look like a quick recovery on the chart, market analyst J.A. Maartun said the bigger story is what the data shows about selling pressure underneath the surface. 
In his view, this decline is not being driven by price alone, but by coordinated risk-off behavior across futures, spot markets, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Futures Sell Hard, Spot Follows
According to Maartun, futures traders have been particularly aggressive. He pointed to selling pressure that has reached its strongest level since March, describing a clear imbalance in derivatives activity. 
One of the key measures he cited was Net Taker Volume at minus $948 million. He also noted that sellers were outpacing buyers by roughly $40 million per hour, a pattern that typically reflects an unwillingness from the market to absorb sell orders and a broader shift toward defense rather than buying.
Maartun said the spot market is showing similar weakness, reinforcing the message coming from futures. As part of his comparison, he referenced Coinbase trading at a -0.21% discount versus Binance. 
In his interpretation, a negative premium like this often signals that US participants are selling more forcefully than counterpart liquidity sources, confirming that the risk-off mood isn’t limited to derivatives desks. 
He added that this spot softness aligns with ongoing ETF outflows, which have continued to pull capital out of Bitcoin-focused vehicles. Maartun highlighted two consecutive weeks of net outflows, and he said more than $1.0 billion exited from BlackRock’s Bitcoin fund just last week alone. 
With that institutional demand apparently cooling, he argued the market has fewer buyers ready to step in—creating additional downside pressure even when price briefly snaps back above major levels.
Why Bitcoin Bottoming Could Take Time
At the same time, Maartun noted that the early data is beginning to hint at something more constructive. He pointed to improving conditions indicated by the stablecoin supply ratio (SSR) indicator, and said Net Taker Volume is nearing historical exhaustion levels. 
His framing is that extreme selling sometimes marks a turning point, because it drains leverage and forces weaker hands out of the market. On that basis, he suggested the odds of a short-term relief rally are increasing, even if a larger cycle turnaround may take longer.
To place expectations in context, Maartun compared how long previous cycle bottoms took to arrive after Bitcoin Halving events. He listed historical timing as 2012, taking 777 days, 2016, taking 889 days, and 2020, taking 925 days. 
He then compared those benchmarks to the current cycle, estimating it at 768 days—implying that the market may still be in a phase where bottoming processes can unfold slowly rather than in a single instant.

A Model Built On Cheap Debt
Schiff, speaking in an hour-long video on May 28, argued that Strategy&#8217;s practice of using borrowed money to buy Bitcoin is one of three interconnected financial pressures, or &#8220;dominoes&#8221;, that could unravel together. The other two, in his view, are the $39 trillion US national debt and a ballooning AI investment bubble.
His argument traces back to a period of low interest rates that made borrowing cheap and encouraged large-scale speculation.
That environment, Schiff contends, allowed Strategy to keep piling into Bitcoin while the federal government continued spending beyond its tax revenues and investors kept pouring money into artificial intelligence ventures.
&amp;
Schiff pointed to Strategy&#8217;s recent decision to use roughly 60% of its cash reserves to retire zero-interest convertible notes three years ahead of schedule. He read that move as a sign the company needed to protect its liquidity while staying heavily exposed to Bitcoin.
The Two Sides Of The Debate
Other financial analysts see the same move very differently. Reports indicate that mainstream commentators viewed the early buyback as smart capital management — the notes were repurchased at a discount, which removed the threat of significant shareholder dilution down the road.
Switching from convertible debt to preferred equity also reduces the pressure on the company if Bitcoin enters a prolonged slump, according to those analysts.
On top of that, the restructured balance sheet could make it easier for Strategy to take on additional debt to fund more Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy itself says the math still works at far lower Bitcoin prices. The company maintains it stays profitable as long as Bitcoin grows by at least 1.25% annually.
Schiff&#8217;s Case Against Bitcoin
Schiff, a long-standing critic of Bitcoin and vocal supporter of gold, argues the bigger danger arrives if interest rates rise sharply. Higher rates, he says, would burst the AI bubble, punish overleveraged investment models, and drag down companies like Strategy in the process.
His recommendation is a move away from tech stocks, crypto, and high-debt investment structures and toward gold and physical assets.
Reactions across social media to his video were mixed, with some users agreeing with his concerns over central bank policy, while others criticized what they described as his constant bearish outlook on Bitcoin.

While the price continues to face downside pressure, ADA is experiencing a significant increase in staking activity, a trend that allows for a more secure blockchain.
Staking Activity On Cardano Accelerates
Without a doubt, staking operations have become a huge and critical part of the Cardano network and its ecosystem. As its ecosystem sees persistent growth, ADA staking activity has spiked to notable levels, with a significant portion of supply being moved to staking contracts across the network.
According to Everstake, the largest global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider trusted by millions, this part of the network is one thing that deserves serious attention, as it attracts broader participation. In the data shared by the provider, more than 21.75 billion ADA out of the total supply of 37.01 billion ADA is currently staked.
This figure represents nearly 58% of all ADA, which is actively being used to secure the network, offering a safe avenue for more operations from old and new players. A development of this kind suggests a massive amount of participation from the Cardano community and a robust sign of long-term engagement within the ecosystem.
Furthermore, it points to growing conviction among holders who are interested in locking up their ADA tokens to support network operations and earn rewards. With prices steadily trending downward, investors appear to be seeking alternative measures to secure gains during this volatile period, which is where staking comes into play.
Everstake highlighted that the rise in staking is coinciding with Cardano’s continued expansion of its infrastructure and ecosystem activity. When this happens, it is a sign that development across the network is still moving at full speed. In the company’s view, “strong staking participation reflects confidence not only in the present state of a network, but also in its long-term direction.”
ADA Whales Are Making Their Presence Known
During the continued sideways Cardano price action, large investors&#8217; activity is currently making waves across the market. On-chain data shows that ADA whales are once again making their presence known as they return with the desire to add more ADA to their holdings.
Santiment, a crypto intelligence and on-chain data analytics platform, revealed this renewed accumulation activity among wallet addresses holding at least 1 million ADA, also considered as ADA millionaire wallets. After a period of steady buying, these wallet addresses now hold over 25.11 billion ADA combined. 
As seen in the chart, this marks its highest level since December 2017. By snatching up that many coins, these investors are holding up to 67% of the ADA supply, which represents its highest point since July 2020. 
When key stakeholders accumulate, Santiment stated that this is generally a sign of confidence from the groups that are most deeply invested and hold the most gain and loss across the market. The development is often classified as a long-term indicator, making it a bullish signal for those who can be patient enough to hold.

CFTC Ramps Up Crypto Perpetual Access
In its announcement, the CFTC said the move creates a clearer path for liquid Bitcoin perpetual products to operate within US rules. 
The agency also framed the change as aligned with President Trump’s stated goal of cementing the United States as the world’s crypto capital, calling the availability of true perpetuals within the country a major advance.
The announcement also comes alongside a separate regulatory action: the CFTC issued a no-action letter to crypto exchange Coinbase. According to the regulator’s guidance, the letter allows Coinbase’s US customers to access the options and perpetuals the company already offers. 
Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal called the development a “massive first for the industry” in a post on X (Previously Twitter), saying it reflects an effort to bring “proven global products under American regulation,” which he argued is key to making the US a leading hub for crypto.
Kalshi Announces Perpetual Futures 
In response to the regulatory shift, Kalshi announced Friday that it plans to launch perpetual futures contracts, beginning with crypto perpetuals. The company positioned its entry as providing US traders with a regulated alternative to offshore platforms.
Kalshi said the offshore perpetual market expanded sharply, rising from $28 trillion in annual volume in 2023 to more than $90 trillion in 2025. 
The prediction market platform indicated that regulation will be the differentiator for its crypto product. The firm said funding rates will be charged every eight hours and will be visible in transaction history. It also clarified that agricultural commodity perpetuals will not be included in the initial lineup.

Forward Industries, the Nasdaq-listed SOL treasury company, is set to join the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes.
The timing makes the update interesting because Solana itself is still fighting to recover stronger momentum. SOL is currently trading around $80, and although the $100 level is not far in percentage terms, the price action still makes that target look difficult.
Solana Moves Into New Market
Forward Industries, a publicly traded company that transformed from a medical product manufacturer into the world&#8217;s largest corporate holder of Solana, has announced it is going to join the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes when FTSE Russell&#8217;s semi-annual reconstitution takes effect on June 29, 2026.

Forward Industries currently holds 7,013,536 SOL, worth approximately $624 million, making it the largest public corporate SOL holder at about 1.121% of the total supply. The company has positioned itself as a Solana-focused digital asset treasury company, with a strategy built around buying, holding, staking, and investing in SOL and SOL-related assets.
That makes the Russell inclusion important for the broader SOL ecosystem. The Russell 3000 tracks the largest US public companies by market capitalization, and the Russell 2000 tracks the top 2000 companies. Once Forward Industries enters these indexes, Solana-linked exposure will sit inside a market structure followed by passive funds, small-cap investors, and institutional portfolio managers.
The move is also important because Forward Industries’ strategy as a Solana treasury company depends heavily on the cryptocurrency&#8217;s long-term value. If SOL performs well, the company’s treasury model will become more attractive to investors. If demand for Solana-based assets grows as expected, then Forward Industries could become one of the public-market vehicles investors might be interested in for exposure to Solana.
Forward is not the only crypto-based company making a move into the Russell indexes. Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink, which holds 874,351 ETH valued at around $1.8 billion, will also be reconstituted into the Russell 2000 and 3000 indexes during the same rebalance, while BitMine and Galaxy Digital are expected to join the Russell 1000. 
SOL Price Still Has Work To Do Before $100
The Forward Industries development is bullish for Solana in a broad sense, and the price action might react positively when the listings on the indexes go live. However, the problem for SOL is that the price action is not displaying the kind of strength that would make $100 look imminent. SOL is still trading just above $80, which means it needs a rally of more than 20% to move back to $100.

Solana has struggled to sustain upside momentum, and every attempt to push higher has had to deal with resistance, with the most recent example being a rejection around $98 on May 11. Should SOL maintain its footing at $85 and clear $90, a move to $98 to $100 may follow.

According to the expert, Bitcoin has formed a classic Wyckoff Accumulation pattern, a century-old market theory that describes how institutions and the wealthy secretly buy assets at low prices before a major rally. The analyst has projected that before any major upward price movement, this pattern could trigger a severe crash in the BTC price.
Bitcoin Forms Painful Wyckoff Accumulation Pattern
According to crypto market expert NoName, Bitcoin is currently at a critical stage, with its market structure flashing warning signs of a potential price crash. In a Monday, 26 X post, the analyst cautioned that Bitcoin is now running one of the most psychologically brutal setups in financial markets, and that most investors may not be ready for what comes next.
NoName revealed that the emergence of the Wyckoff Accumulation suggests that large institutional players and whales may be deliberately keeping prices suppressed and chaotic. He said that the only purpose of this pattern is to shake out as many ordinary investors as possible before a major price rally. 
According to the analyst’s chart, Bitcoin has already completed the early stages of this painful pattern on the weekly chart. He declared that the Preliminary Support (PS), Selling Climax (SC), and Secondary Test (ST) have all been printed, meaning the foundation of the Wyckoff Accumulation structure is firmly in place. Already, the market is experiencing widespread selling pressure after recording a brief recovery in March and April. 
With the pattern now seemingly in place, NoName has called for one final Bitcoin price drop to $52,000 before the structure fully resets. This lower price point aligns with the Spring phase of the Wyckoff Accumulation theory, which signals a deliberate sharp move below support. This stage typically triggers stop losses, causes panic selling, and convinces the majority of investors and holders in the market that Bitcoin is heading much lower. 
Bitcoin Bottom Marked As Next Buying Opportunity
NoName’s analysis suggests BTC’s potential decline toward the projected cycle bottom below $52,000 is where smart money would likely step in aggressively. Personally, he noted that this is likely where he would begin accumulating without hesitation, marking the area as a prime buying opportunity. 
The $52,000 bottom is also not seen as a complete price breakdown, but a short-term decline before the real Bitcoin move begins. If the full Wyckoff Accumulation structure plays out as mapped on the analyst’s chart, then the next move could easily take the BTC price through its Last Point of Support (LPS), marked around the $76,000 range. After this, the cryptocurrency is expected to enter the Sign of Strength (SOS) breakout phase, where its price could skyrocket toward $110,000.

As a result, heightened volatility has taken over the trading activity on cryptocurrency exchanges, especially on the Binance platform.
XRP Volatility On Binance Keeps Traders On Edge
After XRP’s persistent negative price action, the pressure is now being felt across cryptocurrency exchanges across the sector. However, in this scenario, Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the world, continues to stand out as the most impacted trading platform by this bearish performance.
As traders navigate erratic market conditions and fluctuating momentum, trading activity related to XRP on Binance continues to be extremely volatile. While Binance’s trading activity sees heightened volatility, the price of XRP was stabilizing near the $1.30 level at the time of the post.
Looking at the XRP Perp-Spot Volume Imbalance Z-Score, the metric has now reached 0.54, along with the Z-Score indicator rising to nearly 0.95, which reflects a noticeable increase in activity relative to previous averages. With this, uncertainty is building across the market, which poses a risk of a further corrective phase.
The volume imbalance positioning at around 0.54 indicates that trading volumes in perpetual contracts have become significantly higher compared to past periods of normal activity. This trend signals an increase in traders entering short-term positions and a rise in leverage usage.
A reading of this kind is not considered low, but it points to a market that has started to experience stronger activity in comparison to previous moments of relative calm. As for the Z-Score value nearing 0.95, Arab Chain highlighted that this implies that the current activity has become higher by nearly a full standard deviation compared to its usual average. 
Furthermore, this positioning indicates that the market is beginning to exit its normal balance state and move into a phase of unusual activity when compared to previous periods. When this Z-Score value moves closer to 1 or exceeds it, the current momentum strength becomes more pronounced and impactful.
Traders Returning To Speculative Activity
Data show a persistent move into the negative zone prior to the metric&#8217;s recent return to the positive zone, indicating a steady improvement in risk appetite. It also underscores the return of traders to speculative activity after a period of calm or reduced market participation. 
In contrast, Arab Chain noted that XRP’s price has not yet moved with the same intensity as the indicator, as it remains close to the $1.34 to $1.45 range for most of the observed period.
At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $1.31 after falling by over % over the past day. Despite ongoing waning price action, CW reported that buying of long positions is appearing following the short closing. This is a sign that real upward pressure is emerging and is increasing further.

This follows a meeting that the firm held with the Commission’s Crypto Task Force a couple of months ago. 
Ripple Requests SEC To Provide Clarity On Stablecoins and Tokenized Securities
In a letter addressed to the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, Ripple requested clarity on stablecoins and tokenized deposits and offered suggestions on how the Commission could proceed. Firstly, the crypto firm cited the need for clarity on the treatment of stablecoins as collateral and suggested that the Commission amend Rule 15c3-1 to clarify how stablecoins can be properly applied on balance sheets. 
Furthermore, Ripple demanded clarity on the requirements for custodying clients’ stablecoins and suggested that the SEC amend Rule 15c3-3 to define the category of “Qualified Payment Stablecoins.” The firm also asked the Crypto Task Force to clarify that crypto asset non-securities, aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum, can receive equivalent treatment. Ripple alluded to the SEC’s recent guidance, which classified other major cryptos as commodities alongside BTC and ETH. 
To achieve this, Ripple suggested that the SEC revise Question 4 in the FAQ relating to crypto asset activities to account for any non-securities that meet the readily marketable definition. The firm further asked the Commission to provide an analysis that illustrates how a 2% haircut for stablecoins remains punitive. They suggested that stablecoins should have 0% haircut, provided there is a mint-burn relationship between the broker-dealer and issuer. 
Lastly, Ripple asked the SEC Crypto Task Force to clarify which registry of ownership, whether off-chain or on-chain, takes precedence to determine ownership and legally enforceable rights. The firm urged the Task Force to designate the on-chain registry as the single authoritative legal register, thereby eliminating the dual-registry ambiguity that arises in digital twin structures. 
Ripple mentioned in the letter that the response was a follow-up to their March 20 meeting with the SEC Crypto Task Force. The firm further revealed that they had discussed the treatment of payment stablecoins and tokenized securities under the net capital and consumer protection rules, as well as potential next steps toward broader guidance. 
Ripple CEO Says Anti-Crypto Army Has Been Defeated
In an X post, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that the anti-crypto army was defeated by the courts, the voters, and U.S. President Donald Trump. He noted how the crypto witch hunt never made “policy, legal, or political sense.” He added that combating financial innovation only helped protect those who wanted to keep the old, often broken, system in place. 
Garlinghouse was reacting to a post by President Trump in which he called out former SEC Chair Gary Gensler and the anti-crypto army for nearly destroying the American crypto industry. The president also vowed that his administration will codify the CLARITY Act, which cannot be undone by the “crypto haters.”

That figure, cited by analyst Darkfost, captures the strain building across the market as big players pull back from buying and demand shows little sign of recovery.
A Slow Exit By The Biggest Players
Whale-sized accounts — those holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC — have seen their annual balance growth turn negative, according to CryptoQuant.
Monthly growth across that cohort has been essentially flat since February, a pattern the on-chain analytics firm says mirrors what happened during the 2022 bear market, when prices dropped sharply over several months.
Slightly smaller but still significant holders, known as dolphins, hold between 100 and 1,000 BTC and include exchange-traded funds and corporate treasury accounts.
Their balances are still growing on an annual basis, but the pace has dropped sharply, with monthly growth now hovering near zero and readings posting lower highs since September 2025.
CryptoQuant says these two groups together form the backbone of structural demand in Bitcoin markets, which makes their slowdown hard to ignore.
Long-Term Holders Pile Up, But Buyers Are Missing
One figure stands out as deceptively optimistic: long-term holder supply has climbed to a record 15.8 million BTC. On its face, that sounds like conviction. But CryptoQuant reads it differently — as a sign that existing holders are sitting tight while new buyers stay away, leaving the market without the fresh demand needed to push prices higher.
Tim Sun, a researcher at HashKey Group, says the share of supply sitting at an unrealized loss has at times approached 50%, a level not seen since the depths of the 2022 downturn.
He puts the absolute bottom range at $40,000 to $45,000, though he considers $55,000 to $60,000 a more realistic floor — provided the situation between the US and Iran does not worsen and the Federal Reserve holds off on rate hikes.
BTC continues to trade back and forth within a distribution cluster between $66,000 and $80,000, where buyers and sellers are still battling for control.
This remains a difficult environment for investors to navigate, with euphoria emerging whenever BTC approaches the upper end… pic.twitter.com/8Zr96tDiJ0

What A Recovery Would Actually Require
Sun is clear that a genuine turnaround depends on more than price action alone. A definitive shift toward easier monetary policy and looser financial conditions would need to come first, he said.
Crypto analyst Darkfost described the current market as a difficult range to trade, with excitement building each time Bitcoin nears the upper end and pessimism returning just as fast as it drifts lower. At prices around $73,510, the data paints a picture of a market still searching for a floor.

Speaking with NYSE on May 28, Alderoty, who also serves as president of the National Cryptocurrency Association, framed crypto adoption as increasingly less about a separate financial system and more about the gradual integration of digital assets into everyday payments, investing, custody and treasury infrastructure.
Alderoty said Ripple’s role in that shift is tied to its enterprise focus. He described the company as a provider of crypto infrastructure for large and medium-sized businesses looking to add payments, custody, tokenization, liquidity or treasury management capabilities. Ripple, he said, has become “a one-stop shop” for enterprises adopting crypto into their platforms.
Ripple CLO Says Crypto Has Hit Mainstream America
The broader argument, however, centered on the NCA’s latest State of Crypto Holder Report. Alderoty said the association partnered with Harris Poll for the second year in a row and surveyed 40,000 Americans, a sample size he called “enormous” for this type of research.
“We found that 67 million Americans today own or use crypto,” Alderoty said. “So, crypto is no longer a niche product. I think it is creeping more into the mainstream.”
The report also found that 12 million more Americans entered the crypto economy over the past year, based on the comparison between the 2025 and 2026 State of Crypto Holder reports. Alderoty said that growth is not concentrated in the industry’s older stereotypes of Silicon Valley engineers, financial technologists or “crypto bro” early adopters.
Instead, he pointed to a broader demographic spread. “That growth is coming from women,” Alderoty said. “It’s coming from construction workers. It’s coming from manufacturing employees.”
For the Ripple CLO, that matters because it suggests crypto adoption is becoming less geographically and culturally concentrated. He said the NCA’s website includes an interactive map showing where crypto holders live across the United States, including state-level and congressional district-level data. The takeaway, he argued, is that crypto holders are distributed across the country rather than clustered in a few technology or finance hubs.
Alderoty also tied the adoption trend to the increasing overlap between traditional finance and crypto. He said users are no longer being forced into a binary choice between digital assets and legacy financial services. Instead, he argued, the two are beginning to merge inside familiar financial apps and consumer interfaces.
“It’s not an either or,” the Ripple CLO said. “It’s not where you either use crypto or use traditional financial services. I think we are now in a world where we’re using both, and both are becoming interchangeable and interoperable.”
That interoperability, in his view, will define the next phase of adoption. Alderoty compared the process to the smartphone transition, arguing there was no single moment when consumers collectively abandoned flip phones. The change happened incrementally because the technology became useful enough to fade into daily life.
He said crypto may follow a similar path as traditional finance platforms make digital assets available through products that consumers already use. In that model, crypto does not need to announce itself at the point of sale. It becomes one more funding source inside a broader financial stack.
“I’m going to be able to show up at the Walmart checkout registry and use my OnePay app,” Alderoty said. “And I can set that OnePay app to say, ‘Do I want to pay in cash? Do I want to pay using my debit card? Do I want to pay using my credit card? Or do I want to pay using my crypto wallet?’ And that transaction will be sort of all happening behind the scenes.”
The Ripple CLO added that consumers would not need to make “some big announcement” that they are paying with crypto. Instead, he said, it could become as seamless as tapping with Apple Pay.
The NCA report also broke down adoption by age. Alderoty said 18% of new holders are between 18 and 24, while 28% of holders are older than 55. That split gives the report a wider generational signal: younger users are entering a financial world where crypto already exists as part of the product suite, while older users are also adopting the technology rather than sitting outside the market.
Alderoty said the industry remains young at roughly 15 years old, but argued that Gen Z, millennials and Gen X users will increasingly treat crypto as a normal part of finance.
“They’re never going to grow up in a world where crypto was not part of the financial suite of products that they can use,” he said.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.32.

A Fabricated Deal Sets Off The Selloff
The chaos started when Iranian state television reported that Tehran and Washington had agreed on a memorandum of understanding to ease months of conflict.
The draft reportedly called for restoring commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz within a month, a US troop pullback from Iran&#8217;s immediate surroundings, and the lifting of a naval blockade.
Iran&#8217;s broadcaster acknowledged the measure was still unofficial. Reports note that Tehran said it would not proceed without what it called &#8220;tangible verification,&#8221; and that a final agreement could be taken to the UN Security Council within 60 days if talks moved forward.
Markets Move On Mixed Signals
Bitcoin had been trading above $75,000 before the story broke. According to Coingecko data, prices slid to a daily low of $73,200 before clawing back slightly to around $75,115 — still down about 1% on the day.
The White House wasted no time dismissing the report. Officials said the MoU that Iranian state media released was &#8220;a complete fabrication,&#8221; and warned that nobody should take Iranian state media claims at face value.
US President Donald Trump went further, saying the US was not satisfied with any deal Iran had put forward. That statement landed hard on markets already rattled by conflicting signals from both sides.
Washington Shuts The Door
The broader backdrop feeding the market reaction involves months of conflict that have already disrupted shipping in the Gulf region, raising fears about energy supplies and financial stability globally.
Reports indicate the current tensions trace back to fighting between Iran and Israel earlier this year, which pulled US forces deeper into the region.
Any genuine ceasefire or trade corridor agreement would have carried real economic weight — which is why even an unverified report moved prices as sharply as it did.
The episode underscores just how sensitive crypto markets have become to geopolitical developments, particularly ones that touch global shipping and energy supply chains.

Speaking in a Bernstein presentation excerpt dated May 27, 2026, Sprecher said ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, has been watching Hyperliquid closely as the decentralized platform moves into markets historically dominated by traditional venues. He said he had met with the Hyperliquid team several times to discuss what the platform is building, what ICE is doing, and where the two may have overlapping interests.
Hyperliquid Gets Major Wall Street Nod
“First of all, we know them well, and I’ve met with them a number of times personally and to talk about what they’re doing, what we’re doing, where there may be some common overlap that we can work on,” Sprecher said. “They have gotten attention because they’ve been trading oil on the weekends when our traditional oil markets are closed. And it just so happens in this time of conflict in the Middle East, there has been a lot of activity that happens, a lot of decisions and things happen on the weekend.”
That weekend activity, he said, has made Hyperliquid relevant not only as a crypto venue but as a source of off-hours price discovery for markets that still operate on more limited traditional schedules. ICE’s response, according to Sprecher, will not be to keep oil markets open through the entire weekend after pushback from major oil companies. Instead, he said ICE plans to extend trading very late on Friday and reopen very early on Monday, effectively narrowing the window in which traditional oil markets are closed.
Sprecher framed the issue as a “wake-up call” for the industry. Many institutional energy clients, he said, are not trading on blockchain-based foreign venues and may not be permitted to do so under internal controls. Still, they are watching the activity and the prices formed there.
“They’re all watching it, and they’re watching the price discovery,” Sprecher said. “And whether they admit it or not, it is being part of the zeitgeist of when our markets do open, really early on Monday.”
The ICE chief also focused on Hyperliquid’s broader market structure. He described the platform as “a true DeFi exchange” that settles on blockchain rails, uses stablecoins and has attracted market makers and early adopters who would otherwise be active in traditional markets. He also highlighted the risks attached to its leverage model.
“It is on a blockchain. It is settled with stablecoins, algorithmically settled. It has very high margining. You can have up to 100:1 leverage, which is part of the allure.”
Sprecher said the platform’s listing of a derivative tied to SpaceX could become a test case for whether private-market price discovery on a DeFi venue matters to the broader financial system. He said market participants and regulators would soon be able to judge whether the price formed on Hyperliquid was “irrelevant” or “highly relevant” once the company goes public, according to the excerpt.
The most striking part of Sprecher’s remarks came near the end of the exchange, when he openly praised Hyperliquid’s builders and compared the platform’s scale to Nasdaq, though the excerpt did not specify the metric behind that comparison.
“I love that. I wish I was younger and doing it,” Sprecher said. “By the way, the number of billionaires that are being created doing this. This Hyperliquid that we’re talking — if you haven’t heard about it, it’s bigger than Nasdaq, okay? It’s 11 people.”
That tension is already visible in Washington. Before Sprecher’s Bernstein remarks surfaced, ICE and CME pressed US officials to scrutinize Hyperliquid’s role in offshore, oil-linked trading, arguing that anonymous 24/7 markets could affect price discovery in commodities and create risks around manipulation or sanctions evasion.
Hyperliquid has pushed back on that framing, arguing that continuous onchain markets reduce rather than increase market risk. The split leaves Sprecher’s comments with a sharper edge: ICE may admire what Hyperliquid has built, but the platform’s rise is also forcing legacy exchanges to decide whether to compete with crypto-native market structure, lobby against it, or try to absorb parts of it into regulated venues.
At press time, HYPE traded at $61.526.

Why Traditional Finance Is Winning The Crypto Payments Race
Grocery runs and restaurant bills are now among the most common uses for crypto-linked cards, according to data from OKX&#8217;s European card product. In January, supermarket purchases made up over a quarter of all transactions on the OKX card, followed by restaurants at 18% and online shopping at 13%.
The numbers point to something bigger happening in the payments space. Monthly transaction volume on crypto-linked debit and credit cards has jumped 230% from a year ago, with cumulative volume reaching $7.8 billion this month, based on data from The Kobeissi Letter, a market research publication.
BREAKING: Cumulative crypto card payment volumes have reached a record $7.8 billion, with monthly volumes now up +230% since May 2025.
Crypto card adoption has rapidly accelerated in 2026 due to growing access to stablecoins as a payment rail through crypto cards.

Stablecoins Driving The Surge
Stablecoin access is widely credited for accelerating the trend. More cardholders can now spend dollar-pegged digital assets in place of traditional currency, pushing adoption at a faster pace than in previous years.
The Kobeissi Letter put it plainly: crypto card adoption has rapidly picked up in 2026 because more people can spend stablecoins the way they spend cash. The cards are running on familiar payment networks — not replacing them.
Visa holds a commanding position in this space, capturing roughly 90% of crypto card transaction volume through partnerships with blockchain-native companies. One of those partners is Jupiter Global, the payments project tied to the Jupiter decentralized exchange on the Solana network.
OKX launched its stablecoin card for European customers in January, operating on the Mastercard network. That card&#8217;s spending data offers a ground-level view of how people are actually using digital assets in everyday life.
Expansion Plans Signal Broader Ambitions
Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile are among the countries already included in the Visa-Bridge rollout. Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East are next, reports say, with expansion targeted before the year is out.
The broader picture shows crypto payments finding a place in daily transactions without sidelining the companies that have long dominated the industry. Visa and Mastercard are not being pushed out — they are the ones carrying the new rails.

SoFi Has Made Its Stablecoin Available On Its Retail Banking App
As announced in a press release, SoFi Technologies has rolled out its stablecoin to the official SoFi banking app, which hosts a userbase of nearly 15 million members. SoFi, short for Social Finance, is a financial technology company based in the United States that operates as a direct bank with a national charter.
In December, SoFi launched a stablecoin called SoFiUSD, becoming the first national bank in the US to issue a stablecoin on a public blockchain. Back then, the token was only available for internal settlement activity and institutions/developers, with the firm noting that broader availability would arrive in the coming months. That launch finally appears to be here.
SoFi members can now buy, sell, and hold SoFiUSD directly within the app. &#8220;This marks the first time that a U.S. national bank-issued stablecoin is available directly on a banking app,&#8221; said the announcement.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that have their value pegged to a fiat currency. As SoFiUSD&#8217;s name suggests, it&#8217;s a token backed by the US Dollar, which is the most in-demand currency for these digital assets. Currently, the cryptocurrency is available on Ethereum and Solana, two of the most-used networks for transactions.
Anthony Noto, SoFi CEO, said:
People no longer have to choose between blockchain technology and regulated banking products. With SoFiUSD, we’re giving our members a single place to buy, hold, and pay with digital assets in the same app they already use to save, spend, borrow, and invest.
SoFiUSD isn&#8217;t SoFi Technologies&#8217; first foray into the digital-asset sector. As reported by Bitcoinist, the bank became the first of its kind to offer cryptocurrency trading to US customers back in November.bToday&#8217;s launch isn&#8217;t the end of SoFi&#8217;s digital-asset journey, either, as the announcement revealed that it&#8217;s only the first phase of a broader roadmap to integrate stablecoin utility across the bank&#8217;s ecosystem.
In the next few weeks, the FinTech platform is planning to allow members to convert SoFiUSD to tokenized deposits, offer 24/7 global mobility via the blockchain, and release its stablecoin on its first centralized exchange partner, Bullish.
The press release also noted that networks beyond Ethereum and Solana are planned for the stablecoin, although it&#8217;s not yet known which blockchains will be supported or when a rollout will occur.
Ethereum Has Declined Under The $2,000 Level
The cryptocurrency market has suffered a bearish blow during the past day, and Ethereum, the second-largest token by market cap, has been among the worst performers out of the top coins.
After a drop of more than 4% during the last 24 hours, ETH has slipped below $2,000 for the first time since late March.

A Pattern Taking Shape
Repeated failures to break past the $80,000 to $81,000 range have left a head-and-shoulders pattern forming on the daily chart.
The most recent lower high, set near $78,000, now sits as the right shoulder of that setup. A daily RSI reading below 50 adds to the bearish lean, reflecting limited strength during recent price recoveries.
On May 18, miners moved roughly 21,000 BTC to Binance — the second-largest such transfer this year, trailing only the 23,150 BTC sent on February 5.
Analyst Amr Taha flagged the move, noting that large miner deposits to exchanges typically signal potential selling as miners convert holdings to cover operating costs.
Demand Failing To Keep Pace
Despite the surge in supply hitting the exchange, the price reaction stayed relatively calm. Binance&#8217;s total BTC reserves climbed from about 618,600 on May 6 to nearly 634,000 by May 26, yet no aggressive sell-off followed.
The more pressing concern may not be miner activity at all. Glassnode data shows spot volume delta slipping back into net sell-side territory after Bitcoin was rejected near the low $80,000s.
Without a return of spot buying, the market risks slipping back into the choppy, seller-dominated conditions that capped prices earlier in the year.
The realized profit/loss ratio currently stands at 1.56 — well below the two to five range associated with stronger bull market conditions. That reading points to moderate buying conviction at best during the recent price bounce.
$75,000 Becomes The Line
The $74,500 to $75,000 zone is now being watched closely across multiple analytical frameworks. Adler identifies $74,500 as critical support, while technical analysis places the same area at the neckline of the broader chart pattern.
A confirmed break below that level would expose the next major support near $70,400. For now, the market is holding — but the balance of supply, weak demand, and a deteriorating momentum picture has put that hold under serious strain.

The breakdown is concerning on its own terms — but a CryptoQuant analyst has identified a data point in the exchange reserve data that places the current moment in a historical context that spans nearly six years of Bitcoin market cycles.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Exchange Reserve across all exchanges has fallen to 2,666,753 BTC. The last time that specific reserve level was recorded was August 31, 2019 — when Bitcoin was trading at approximately $9,430. Today, Bitcoin trades near $77,300. The same exchange inventory reading. Approximately eight times the price.
That comparison creates an immediate and important question. Two identical exchange reserve readings at dramatically different price levels describe two fundamentally different market structures — different participant compositions, different institutional presence, different regulatory environments, and different on-chain dynamics surrounding the same supply number. The reserve figure is the same. Almost nothing else about the two moments is.
The CryptoQuant analyst uses a second indicator alongside the reserve data to capture what the raw number cannot — the Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator, which characterizes the structural regime surrounding each reserve reading and determines whether the same supply level carries the same forward implication in 2026 as it did in 2019.
Same Supply Level But Two Very Different Market Regimes
The CryptoQuant analysis places the identical exchange reserve readings side by side and reveals the structural divergence that makes the comparison as alarming as it is instructive. In August 2019, the Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator stood at +0.83, with the 30-day moving average at +1.045 — readings firmly in bull territory that confirmed the demand context surrounding the supply constraint. Bitcoin leaving exchanges in 2019 was occurring against a backdrop where the cycle structure supported the thesis that reduced available supply would meet genuine buying interest.
In May 2026, the same indicator reads -0.379, with the 30-day moving average at -0.375 and the 365-day moving average at -0.323. The current exchange reserve level is identical to 2019. The cycle regime surrounding it is the opposite.
The analytical framework the report establishes is precise. Declining exchange reserves reduce the inventory available for immediate sale — that supply dynamic is constructive regardless of the cycle context. But supply constraints alone do not drive prices higher. Demand must arrive to meet the reduced available supply before the constraint translates into price appreciation. In 2019, the bullish cycle structure provided that demand confirmation. In 2026, it has not yet appeared.
The structural variable that separates 2026 from every previous exchange reserve comparison is the spot Bitcoin ETF. Approved in January 2024 and representing a category of demand that did not exist in August 2019, ETF inflows have been a persistent feature of the declining reserve environment throughout the entire post-approval period. That structural buyer changes the demand equation in ways the 2019 comparison cannot fully capture.
Whether ETF demand is sufficient to bridge the gap between the current supply constraint and the demand confirmation that the Bull-Bear Indicator has not yet delivered is precisely what the current market setup is testing — and what the next phase of Bitcoin&#8217;s price action will begin to answer.
Bitcoin Bears Retake Short-Term Control
Bitcoin has fallen below the critical $75,000 region, confirming a significant loss of momentum after weeks of struggling beneath major resistance near the $80,000–$82,000 zone. The daily chart now reflects a market transitioning from consolidation back into defensive positioning, with sellers regaining short-term control after repeated failed breakout attempts throughout May.
Technically, the breakdown below the $73,500–$74,000 support cluster is an important deterioration in structure. That zone had acted as the foundation for the April recovery and aligned closely with the rising 100-day moving average, making it one of the most important support areas on the chart. Bitcoin is now trading beneath that level, while the 50-day moving average has started curling downward again after briefly stabilizing during the recovery phase.
The rejection from the declining 200-day moving average near $80,000 also reinforced the broader macro weakness still dominating the market. Bulls were unable to reclaim long-term trend resistance, and the failure triggered another wave of downside pressure that accelerated once short-term support gave way.
The next major demand zone now sits near the $65,000–$66,000 region, where buyers aggressively defended price during the February capitulation event. Volume has started increasing slightly during the latest decline, suggesting market participation is rising again as uncertainty expands.
Unless Bitcoin can quickly reclaim the lost $74,000 region, the broader structure now favors continued downside pressure and prolonged volatility rather than immediate recovery continuation.

The message ties the White House’s crypto agenda to legislation that would define regulatory boundaries for digital assets, exchanges, custodians, stablecoins and derivatives markets.
In a Truth Social post highlighted by Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, Trump framed the issue as a reversal of the Gary Gensler era and a bid to make US crypto policy harder for future regulators to unwind. Terrett said the post marked the first time Trump had publicly weighed in on market structure since March, making the timing notable after the Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act earlier this month.
“Gary Gensler and the ‘Anti-Crypto Army’ nearly DESTROYED the American Crypto Industry by driving Bitcoin, Crypto Perpetuals, and INNOVATION offshore, but ‘TRUMP’ SAVED IT. America is now the CRYPTO CAPITAL of the WORLD, and Builders and Entrepreneurs are coming BACK to the United States where they belong. Under my Leadership, we will codify a FUTURE-PROOF Digital Asset Market Structure that cannot be undone by the Crypto Haters.”
NEW: President Trump says his administration is building a “future-proof” digital asset market structure that can’t be undone by “crypto haters.”

The post was quickly echoed by CFTC Chairman Mike Selig, who wrote that, “Thanks to @POTUS’ leadership, America is the Crypto Capital of the World. Bitcoin, Crypto Perpetuals, and INNOVATION are Coming to America.”
In Washington, “market structure” is shorthand for the legal architecture that determines whether crypto assets are treated as securities or commodities, which agencies supervise them, and how trading platforms, brokers, dealers, custodians and issuers are regulated. For crypto markets, the stakes are substantial: the framework would shape registration pathways, disclosures, custody rules, consumer protection, AML obligations and market integrity standards.
The broader policy direction has been visible since Trump’s Jan. 23, 2025 executive order, which called for support for digital asset growth, self-custody, public blockchain access, dollar-backed stablecoins, fair banking access and clearer jurisdictional lines between regulators. The White House’s July 2025 digital asset working group report later recommended that Congress build on CLARITY by giving the CFTC authority over spot markets for non-security digital assets, while directing the SEC and CFTC to clarify rules for registration, custody, trading and recordkeeping.
The stablecoin leg of that agenda has already become law. Trump signed the GENIUS Act on July 18, 2025, with the White House describing it as the first federal regulatory system for stablecoins. The law includes 100% reserve backing with liquid assets such as dollars or short-term Treasuries, monthly public reserve disclosures, marketing restrictions and priority claims for stablecoin holders in insolvency.
The unresolved fight is the broader market-structure package. The House passed the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act, in July 2025 by a bipartisan 294–134 vote. The Senate Banking Committee advanced its version on May 14, 2026, in a 15–9 vote, sending the bill toward the Senate floor. The committee vote drew support from two Democrats, though those lawmakers did not commit to backing the final bill.
Crypto&#8217;s CLARITY Act Heads Toward Senate Fight
The Senate version would create a category for ancillary assets, require initial and semiannual disclosures for certain transactions, and introduce a “Regulation Crypto” exemption from SEC registration for some ancillary asset offerings. It would also treat digital commodity brokers, dealers and exchanges as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, bringing AML programs, customer identification and due diligence into the framework.
Trump’s reference to “crypto perpetuals” points to another piece of the agenda: bringing offshore derivatives activity into regulated US venues. Selig said in January that perpetual contracts had become widely used for risk management and price discovery, while arguing that the previous administration failed to create an onshore pathway for those products. He also said the CFTC would explore rules for leveraged, margined or financed retail crypto commodity transactions and a possible new registration category for retail leveraged trading.
The bill still faces opposition. Critics have argued that AML provisions are too weak, that political officials should be restricted from profiting from crypto ventures, and that expanded CFTC authority may not fully address investor-protection concerns traditionally handled by the SEC. Bank groups have also focused on stablecoin-yield language, warning that crypto firms could compete for deposits through rewards on stablecoin balances.
The timing is becoming a legislative risk in its own right. The CLARITY Act has cleared the Senate Banking Committee, but it has not yet secured a full Senate vote, and any final package still has to survive unresolved fights over AML rules, stablecoin rewards, political-conflict provisions and the division of authority between the SEC and CFTC.
The bill also has to fit into a shrinking Senate calendar, with lawmakers facing summer recess, a fall campaign break and the Nov. 3 midterm elections. That leaves a narrowing window for Republicans and pro-crypto Democrats to turn committee momentum into final passage before election politics make a complex market-structure bill harder to move.
At press time, the total market cap stood at $2.43 trillion.

The breach of that psychological threshold has sharpened concern across the market — and a CryptoQuant analyst has identified a development in the on-chain data that adds a layer of structural context to the current weakness that goes beyond the price action itself.
The signal the analyst has identified is not one that typically appears in mainstream market commentary — but its implications for Ethereum&#8217;s short-term supply dynamics are direct and measurable. Recent on-chain data suggests that Ethereum&#8217;s failed transaction count may be experiencing an upward trend. At the same time, exchange inflows appear to be showing a slight but gradual increase alongside that trend.
Failed transactions on a blockchain network are not simply technical errors. They represent attempted activity that the network processed without completing, and their frequency carries information about the nature of demand currently interacting with the Ethereum network. When failed transaction counts rise in a specific context, they can reflect a market under stress, with participants attempting to execute transactions at speeds or gas levels that the network&#8217;s current conditions are not accommodating.
The combination of rising failed transactions and increasing exchange inflows is the pairing the CryptoQuant analyst has flagged as worth examining — because together, they may be describing a market dynamic that the price chart is only beginning to reflect.
 Rising Exchange Inflows And A Price Without Direction
The CryptoQuant analyst connects the three data points into a coherent near-term assessment that each indicator alone would not fully support. Ethereum&#8217;s price is consolidating in primarily sideways movement — not collapsing aggressively, but equally not demonstrating the directional momentum that would suggest the $2,000 support breach was a temporary overextension rather than a structural shift.
Against that directionless price action, the rising failed transaction count describes network friction that reflects stress rather than organic activity growth. Failed transactions consuming gas without completing useful work is not the signature of a network experiencing healthy demand — it is the signature of a market where participants are competing for block space under conditions of uncertainty, rushing transactions at inappropriate gas levels, or attempting arbitrage and liquidation activity that speaks more to volatility management than genuine utility expansion.
The gradual increase in exchange inflows compounds the picture. Coins moving toward exchanges in a period of price weakness and network friction describes participants reducing their time horizon — moving from self-custody positions toward venues where assets can be sold quickly if conditions deteriorate further.
The analyst&#8217;s near-term assessment follows directly from the combination. No single element here confirms a bearish outcome independently — sideways price action can precede recovery as easily as decline, and moderate exchange inflows are not distributed at scale. But the convergence of network friction, increasing exchange-bound liquidity, and absent directional momentum creates a setup that the broader Ethereum landscape currently does little to offset. Until failed transaction trends reverse and exchange inflows stabilize, the data supports a cautious near-term outlook rather than one that anticipates an imminent recovery above $2,000.
Ethereum Loses Critical Support As Market Structure Weakens
Ethereum has broken below the psychological $2,000 level, confirming a significant deterioration in the recovery structure that had been developing since the February lows. The daily chart shows ETH failing to hold the key support cluster around $2,050–$2,100, an area that previously acted as the foundation for the April and early May rebound.
Technically, the breakdown shifts momentum back in favor of sellers. ETH is now trading below the short-term moving averages, while the 100-day moving average continues acting as dynamic resistance overhead near the $2,150 region. More importantly, the rejection from the major resistance zone between $2,250 and $2,350 confirmed that bulls lacked the strength necessary to reclaim the broader macro trend.
The structure has also started forming lower highs after the May peak, a classic sign of weakening demand during recovery attempts. The recent decline accelerated once ETH lost the 50-day moving average, triggering another wave of selling pressure that pushed the price back toward the lower demand zone highlighted near $1,800–$1,850.
As long as Ethereum remains below the $2,050–$2,100 region, the market structure continues to favor downside risk and prolonged consolidation rather than immediate bullish continuation.

CryptoCon, a market analyst, says a shift in the Bitcoin Golden Ratio Multiplier is currently flashing bearish signals. He noted that the indicator has historically aligned with major price bottoms in past Bitcoin cycles. Based on that pattern, the current reading is now being interpreted as a warning that BTC could still face a deeper correction of up to 50% if the historical structure repeats.
Bitcoin Golden Ratio Multiplier Signals 50% Price Crash
In a recent post on X, CryptoCon warned that the market may still have more downside ahead, as key chart signals continue to point toward a deeper cycle bottom for Bitcoin. His analysis is based on the Golden Ratio Multiplier, a model used to identify major price peaks, bottoms, and extended market conditions.
He noted that Bitcoin&#8217;s cycle bottom estimate has steadily declined as the bear market progresses. According to him, the latest readings now place the expected bottom around $36,000, which would represent roughly a 51% drop from current levels above $73,000. He added that this shift shows the model is still adjusting as market conditions evolve.
Sharing his chart, CryptoCon pointed to Level 1 of the model, currently aligned near $36,000. He stressed that this level has historically marked key cycle lows, including Bitcoin&#8217;s drop to $1.98 in November 2011, $181 in January 2015, $3,000 in December 2018, and $16,800 in June during the 2022 bear market.
Because of this surprisingly accurate track record, Crypto Con continues to treat Bitcoin’s Golden Ratio Multiplier as one of the most reliable tools for mapping Bitcoin&#8217;s long-term cycle structure and bottom target. However, he acknowledged that while the metric is reliable, the Level 1 price can change over time as market conditions change. This means that Bitcoin’s target could still drift lower than $36,000 if weakness continues, further adjusting the projected cycle bottom.
BTC’s Realized Market Cap Bottom Defines Range
In his analysis, CryptoCon also compared the Golden Ratio Level 1 with Bitcoin’s Realized Market Cap bottom, which currently sits near $42,500. The Realized Market Cap bottom tracks the average price at which all BTC tokens were last moved on-chain and has historically aligned with major capitulation phases and bear market lows when the price approaches it.
With the Golden Ratio Multiplier Level 1 at roughly $36,000 and the Realized Market Cap floor at $42,500, CryptoCon predicts that BTC’s likely cycle bottom will fall somewhere between the two targets. From current market prices above $73,000, a move into this bottom range would imply a decline of roughly 42% to 52%, depending on where BTC’s price ultimately settles.

Under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, crypto rules are tightening across the European Union for the issuance, trading, and custody of digital assets, and the regulator says companies that miss the cutoff may face serious consequences.
Crypto Licensing Pressure Builds In The EU
According to Reuters, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) warned that crypto companies could be blacklisted and sued if they fail to obtain an EU license by the end of June. 
“It’s becoming very, very urgent to finalize the license applications,” Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani, president of the French markets regulator, AMF, told journalists on Thursday. 
She said firms that do not secure the necessary authorizations by the EU deadline would be placed on blacklists and could face enforcement actions, including prosecution, if they continue attempting to serve customers in Europe without permission.
As Reuters noted in the report, MiCA requires crypto firms to apply for licenses through regulators in individual EU member states. Those national licenses can then be used as a “passport,” allowing companies that obtain approval in one country to operate throughout the 27-nation bloc. 
Barbat-Layani noted that last year, some regulators drew concern for differences in how quickly licenses were being approved, with Malta’s pace reportedly coming under scrutiny from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
The AMF president also reiterated France’s position on the “passporting” mechanism. She said France would be willing to block the portability of licenses granted by other countries if it does not agree with that country’s decision.
Barbat-Layani added that this outcome is not what the regulator would prefer, describing it as a “serious collective failure,” but indicating that France is prepared to act if necessary.
US And European Union Diverge
MiCA’s rules were agreed in 2023 and are designed to standardize oversight across the EU, regardless of where a firm initially applies for authorization. 
That regulatory push is taking shape even as US policy has shifted away from the more aggressive enforcement posture seen under the Biden administration—an approach that was led at the time by the chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler.
In the US, the policy change under the Trump administration was followed by the passage of the GENIUS Act last year, the first crypto bill in the country focusing on stablecoins. 
Another measure now moving through Congress is the CLARITY Act, intended to provide a clearer framework for digital asset classification and, more broadly, bring long-awaited clarity for regulation across the crypto market. 
The bill is currently expected to face a full Senate vote, along with reconciliation steps needed to finalize the text and a final agreement between the House and the Senate before it reaches the President’s desk.

Activity on the leading network is picking up pace at a significant rate, recording billions of dollars in app revenue in the past year.
Apps Revenue On Solana Network Booms
Regardless of Solana&#8217;s price experiencing growing bearish pressure, its network is entering a powerful expansion phase in ecosystem activity. The current network growth is observed in its total app revenue, which has witnessed a massive surge.
Zensei, a DeFi and RWA researcher, shared this development on X, suggesting increasing user engagement and robust monetization among decentralized applications built on the blockchain. This app creation ranges from Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms to gaining and trading services, underscoring the massive coverage of Solana in the crypto sector.
According to the researcher’s report, Solana&#8216;s cumulative app revenue has climbed to approximately $4 billion. About a year ago, this figure was sitting at $2.87 billion, representing an over $1.17 billion increase in just 12 months. Such a growth is a sign of expanding real-world utility and sustained demand across the network within a competitive blockchain space.
Zensei stated that there is a rapid growth in how the ecosystem continues to expand across every sector. However, only a few places in the crypto space create opportunities at the scale and speed that Solana does consistently. 
Solana’s blockchain dominance is not one to be overlooked. Despite multiple moments of slowdown, the network continues to challenge leading chains such as Ethereum across the sector, even surpassing them in several areas.
In another X post, Zensei reported that Solana has successfully flipped Ethereum in month-to-date Decentralized Exchange (DEX) volume, leading by over $5.27 billion. While Ethereum blockchain recorded about $31.59 billion in MTD DEX volume, SOL scooped up a total of $36.87 billion.
The researcher stated that SOL’s dominance goes beyond just DEX volume. Even though it is valued far lower than the likes of ETH, the network continues to outperform where it matters most, which includes usage, volume, speed, and efficiency.
More Active Loans Carried On The SOL Network
After multiple chains experienced fading active loans due to negative developments such as hacking, particularly the KelpDAO exploit in April 2026, Solana has largely picked up pace in this aspect. This may indicate a shift into SOL as participants search for a more secure blockchain.
As seen in the data posted by David Alexander, a programme and crypto enthusiast, the SOL network currently represents 10% of the total on-chain active loans market. By hitting 10%, SOL has effectively doubled its representation year-over-year (YTD), with over $2.1 billion in outstanding loans. After this notable rise, the leading blockchain is now positioned second to Ethereum.

US Anti-Crypto Era Is Over?
On Thursday, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized the previous US administration’s anti-crypto campaign, which targeted the digital assets sector for years and pushed firms and investors abroad.
In an X post, the executive asserted that “the ‘Anti-Crypto Army’ was defeated… by the courts… the voters. And Trump,” who has repeatedly pledged to make the US the “crypto capital of the world” since returning to the White House in 2025.
To Garlinghouse, the Biden administration’s crackdown on the industry “never made policy, legal or political sense.” Moreover, he affirmed that the efforts to combat financial innovation “only helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place.”
His comments echoed similar remarks made by President Trump on Wednesday. On Truth Social, the US president stated that he had saved the American digital assets industry from the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, and the “Anti-Crypto Army,” who nearly “destroyed” the sector by driving Bitcoin (BTC), perpetuals, and innovation offshore.
Now, “America is now the CRYPTO CAPITAL of the WORLD, and Builders and Entrepreneurs are coming BACK to the United States where they belong,” Trump asserted, pledging to “future-proof” the digital asset market structure legislation under his leadership so that it “cannot be undone by the Crypto Haters.”
“The new Frontier of Finance is being Built in America, and ‘TRUMP’ will NEVER let Crypto down!,” he continued. In another statement from this week, Trump also discussed the US’s push to lead the digital assets sector, explaining that it is a major industry and the government must protect its leadership.
Other countries are trying diligently to replace us in that capacity, but we won&#8217;t let that happen. It is a major Industry, and we must protect it.
A New Regulatory Chapter
Over the past year and a half, US regulators have shifted from a “regulation by enforcement” strategy towards a more welcoming approach. On Wednesday, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) joined Gemini in a motion for relief from the judgment in the January 2025 order against the exchange, which included a $5 million penalty.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the Commission revealed it had reviewed the history of the investigation, the evidence, the charging decision, and the changes in federal digital asset policy, concluding that the complaint “should not have been filed — and would not have been under current enforcement standards.”
Similarly, the SEC has dismissed multiple investigations and lawsuits against crypto firms, while calling the industry one of the top priorities in its shift toward a pro-innovation approach.
Last month, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce affirmed that the pivot to a more welcoming environment has made developing a clearer regulatory framework that is “fit for purpose” significantly easier. In addition, it allows the regulators to address problems the industry may face and open opportunities for innovation.
Amid this new regulatory chapter, Ripple recently submitted a letter to the SEC Crypto Task Force as a follow-up to a late March meeting between the regulator and the industry.
In the letter, Ripple asked the regulator to clarify the treatment of payment stablecoins, crypto asset non-securities, and tokenized securities under the recent net capital and customer protection rules. It also asked for potential next steps for broader guidance and applauded the Task Force and Commissioner Peirce for the “in-depth and engaging discussion.”

Data from CoinMarketCap shows that BTC has declined by over 6% in the last seven days and nearly 10% in just two weeks. A combination of factors has contributed to this negative trend, including massive outflows in Spot Bitcoin ETFs, the ongoing US-Iran wars, and growing selling pressure among whales and institutional investors. 
Bitcoin Price Crashes Amid ETF Outflows And Rising Selling Pressure
The market is seeing heavy volatility, as new factors place immense pressure on the Bitcoin price and the broader crypto market. According to crypto analyst Nic on X, Bitcoin recently crashed below the $75,000 support zone and is now sitting around its next critical support level, around $73,000. 
The cryptocurrency had surged as high as $83,000 earlier this May, but was firmly rejected. Since then, Bitcoin has been on a steady decline. However, this past week has accelerated the downtrend, with the price dropping much faster and more sharply than before. 
Several factors have been linked to this severe price drop, including the decline in the demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Not only are institutions showing very low interest in these investment products, but on-chain data from SoSoValue shows that Bitcoin ETFs have recorded their eighth consecutive day of outflows. 
Since May 15, Bitcoin ETFs have recorded only outflows, as institutions continue to exit the market to protect their assets from further losses. Tuesday, May 27, saw the highest outflow of the month. About $733.43 million was withdrawn in just one day, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the move with the highest outflows. Prior to this, BTC had only recorded six days of inflows, underscoring how much sellers now dominate the market.  
Swissblock, a private financial research firm, has also highlighted the recent negativity and downside risk currently plaguing the market. They noted that Bitcoin&#8217;s Risk Index is now signaling that selling pressure is overwhelming the market. 
Because of this trend, the firm has said that BTC has automatically flipped back into distribution territory after experiencing strong accumulation and multiple rallies in March and April. They say that the lack of ETF support, combined with the Risk Indef readings, suggests that BTC’s downside risk is accelerating at a concerning pace.  
US-Iran Fresh Strikes Add More Pressure To Fragile Market
In addition to rising selling pressure and ETF outflows, fresh US-Iran air strikes have also weighed negatively on Bitcoin’s market sentiment. Nic noted that renewed fighting following a recently announced ceasefire sparked mass liquidations across the market, triggering a decline in Bitcoin&#8217;s price. 
Moreover, live data from CNN reveal that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recently launched a new attack on an American air base. Meanwhile, the US strikes had targeted Iranian drones and a critical launch site near the Strait of Hormuz. 
The resumption of the war has placed uncertainty over the proposed peace deal. Currently, the market is awaiting further positive updates, even as investors exit risk assets to avoid losses.

The price has been struggling to recover after falling back below $80,000, and the weakness is now taking place below two major on-chain levels that are converging at $78,000.
On-chain data shows that the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis is around $78,000, while the True Market Mean is sitting close to $78,300. These two levels have now converged, creating a heavy ceiling just above Bitcoin’s current price.
Bitcoin Is Stalling Below The Level Recent Buyers Need Most
Bitcoin’s price action is currently trapped between two forces. One side is $74,000, where buyers are still trying to defend. The other is the $78,000 area, where on-chain valuation models are now meeting at almost the same point. The next break may decide whether the latest weakness is another range-bound dip or the start of a deeper correction below $70,000.
According to data from on-chain analytics platform Glassnode, Bitcoin’s short-term holder cost basis is currently at about $78,000. The Short-Term Holder Cost Basis is one of the cleanest ways to understand the pressure on newer Bitcoin investors. It measures the average acquisition price of coins held for less than 155 days, which means it measures the breakeven point of the more reactive investors.
There&#8217;s also Bitcoin&#8217;s true market mean, which makes the $78,000 price level even more important. The true market mean tracks the cost basis of actively transacted supply, and according to Glassnode, it has always acted as a dividing line between bear-market and bull-market regimes. It is currently near $78,300, almost exactly where the short-term holder&#8217;s cost basis is sitting.
Bitcoin Needs To Hold Above This Level
Many recent buyers accumulated between $75,000 and $78,000, pushing their cost basis close to the true market mean. That can support a recovery if demand is strong, but it can also create fast downside pressure if demand is low.
However, spot demand is fading, and this is placing pressure on the $74,000 price level. BTC fell to this level last weekend and rebounded, but the bounce was shallow. At the same time, US Spot Bitcoin ETF demand has started to weaken again, with flows turning negative over the past two weeks and recording a $733.43 million outflow in the last 24 hours alone.
If BTC is going to push meaningfully higher from here, spot demand likely needs to step back in and defend $74,000. That isn’t going so well right now, as the Bitcoin price is currently down by 3.4% in the past 24 hours and trading at $73,230.
Glassnode’s Realized Profit/Loss Ratio is at 1.56, which confirms that Bitcoin has seen net positive capital flow since the $60,000 floor. However, that reading is still below the 2 to 5 range that has always appeared during the early stages of more persistent bull markets.

The lawsuit challenges a recently passed law that would restrict most prediction market activity and impose criminal penalties on certain event-based contracts. 
Kalshi And Minnesota Clash
At the core of Kalshi’s lawsuit is its jurisdiction argument. The company contends that prediction markets fall under exclusive federal oversight through the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), rather than being governed by state gambling laws. 
Kalshi says its event contracts should be treated as federally regulated financial products, not traditional betting. In the company’s view, that means Minnesota cannot simply outlaw or criminalize the activity through state legislation.
Minnesota lawmakers take the opposite position. They characterize sports and event-based contracts as a form of gambling that should remain under state control, particularly because, in their view, the products operate outside existing consumer protection and gambling regulations. 
Rather than focusing on civil enforcement or narrower product restrictions, the new law includes criminal penalties for users or businesses operating, promoting, or facilitating certain prediction market products. 
Supporters of the bill argue that prediction market platforms function similarly to sportsbooks, but operate in a legal gray area without meeting the standards they believe should apply to gambling businesses.
Probe Triggered By Suspicious Trades
Supporters of the legislation have also pointed to risks they say the industry has not adequately addressed. Those concerns include potential addiction impacts, the possibility of insider trading, and the increasing overlap between financial-style trading behavior and gambling-like outcomes. 
The Minnesota lawsuit also arrives amid scrutiny from federal lawmakers. As Bitcoinist reported earlier this month, Representative James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, announced a formal investigation into Polymarket and Kalshi on May 22. 
In that probe, Comer said he wants the CEOs of both companies to explain how their platforms detect and prevent insider trading. The investigation was triggered by a series of suspicious trades tied to classified US military operations and geopolitical events.

Despite the altcoin’s declining price action and general unfavorable market conditions, large ETH holders seem to be holding onto their positions.
What Ethereum Whales Are Doing In This Pullback
Ethereum&#8217;s large investors have remained resilient in recent market sessions. While ETH’s price has struggled to sustain strong momentum, these key investors continue to hold on to their positions rather than aggressively reduce their exposure or sell off their coins.
In a waning market environment, the activity of large holders is closely monitored as it typically provides more insight into long-term market conviction and sentiment among institutional investors. This trend is seen in the Ethereum Whale Vs Retail Delta metric, which has flipped toward the upside once again. 
As reported by CW, a verified data analyst at the CryptoQuant platform and crypto investor, the crucial metric has now surpassed the 0.5 level and continues to move in an upward direction. When this metric flips upward, it is a sign that whales are regaining influence over the market, reflecting renewed confidence in the asset’s long-term prospects.
Amid ongoing volatility in ETH’s price action, the large investors have shifted into an accumulation phase as they quietly and rapidly increase their long positions in the altcoin. Should this trend continue over the following days and weeks, it could play a critical role in shaping the altcoin’s next trajectory.
Another aspect that is picking up again is the Ethereum Futures market. CW revealed that movement in the market is steadily increasing, as investors start to lean toward the upside for ETH. Open Interest (OI) has transitioned into an upward direction alongside a persistent rise in long positions.
Investors appear to be taking advantage of the current downside performance of ETH’s price rather than exiting the market in fear. Furthermore, this activity suggests that investors may be positioning for the altcoin’s next major rally.
This Metric Could Support ETH’s Next Move
Bullish momentum is starting to reflect on several key Ethereum metrics even as prices trend downward. Ali Charts, a seasoned crypto investor and data analyst, has outlined a renewed shift, emerging in the ETH market as the Market Value To Realized Value (MVRV) metric declines below the 0.8 level.
However, this bullish development may fade soon. According to Ali Charts, whenever ETH drops below the 0.8 MVRV band, the move is not sustained for very long. Data shows that in the past, this exact zone represented a high-probability macro accumulation window. At the same time, this window could build the ultimate foundation for the next major bull market.
At the time of writing, the ETH price was trading at $1,980, demonstrating a nearly 5% decline in the last 24 hours. However, its trading volume is moving in an opposite direction, rising by more than 17% over the past day.

While fear has rapidly spread across crypto trading circles following the recent pullback, one prominent market watcher argues that the current setup may actually resemble the foundation that launched Ethereum’s earlier recovery rally.
Ethereum’s Make-Or-Break Zone
The latest chart shared by crypto analyst BladeDefi points to a higher timeframe ascending trendline that has quietly supported Ethereum’s structure for months. According to the chart, ETH has now returned directly to that region after failing to hold above a key resistance area near the upper part of its recent range.
That breakdown triggered a fresh wave of bearish commentary across the market, particularly after Ethereum lost momentum near the $2,700 region. Yet the broader structure shown on the chart tells a more layered story. Instead of depicting a complete collapse, the price action still appears to be operating within the same macro recovery channel that helped Ethereum rebound earlier this year.
The chart highlights multiple interactions with this rising support line, showing that earlier retests of the same structure eventually sparked strong upward reversals. At the same time, the broader chart structure suggests that Ethereum has not yet invalidated its wider bullish framework, despite the market’s sharp reaction to the recent pullback.
That distinction matters because losing short-term support is not always equivalent to destroying long-term structure. In previous cycles, ETH experienced similar periods where confidence evaporated near support zones shortly before momentum returned aggressively.
The Road Back To $3,000
With Ethereum now testing this critical trend region, analysts believe that a sustained hold above the ascending support could reopen the path toward reclaiming higher resistance zones, especially as traders begin rotating capital back into large-cap digital assets.
The $3,000 level has become psychologically important because it sits near a zone where market participation previously accelerated during Ethereum’s earlier breakout attempts. Reclaiming that territory would likely shift sentiment dramatically after days of heightened uncertainty.
Market observers are also watching whether Ethereum can rebuild momentum through higher lows on lower timeframes. If that process develops while the broader trendline remains intact, confidence around continuation toward $3,000 could strengthen considerably.
The wider crypto market environment may also play a role. Bitcoin’s relative stability has helped prevent more serious damage across major altcoins, while institutional attention toward digital assets continues expanding through spot ETF flows and broader adoption narratives. That backdrop gives additional weight to ETH&#8217;s current technical position.
For now, the market appears locked in a tense standoff between fear and structure. The chart shared by BladeDefi suggests that Ethereum is not merely revisiting another random support level. Instead, it may be testing the exact foundation capable of deciding whether the next major move points back toward $3,000 or toward a much deeper correction.

The analyst also revealed the catalyst that will drive this bullish momentum for altcoins, as he noted that this could be the latest real run for these crypto assets. 
Analyst Predicts This Year Will Be The Biggest Altcoin Season Ever
In an X post, Fergani stated that this year will be the biggest altcoin season ever and suggested it would happen within the next six months. He cited the Others/BTC chart, which shows that these altcoins have formed a strong support at their current levels and are ready to record significant gains against Bitcoin. 
The analyst also alluded to AI as what will drive the altcoin season, although he didn’t explain why or how that would happen. He added that this might be the last real altcoin run before the game changes forever. It is worth noting that some AI coins, such as TAO, NEAR, and VVV, have recorded significant gains over the past few weeks. 
Crypto analyst CW recently pointed out that exchange volume for altcoins, excluding the top 5 cryptos by market cap, is increasing and that trading is increasingly concentrated in altcoins amid this sluggish situation. He added that some investors are quietly accumulating altcoins, while some people are negative about the altcoin season. 
Despite the recent gains in some altcoins, it is worth noting that it is still far from being altcoin season. BlockchainCenter data shows that the altcoin season index is currently at 31, signaling that it is still Bitcoin season. The index needs to reach 75 for it to be altcoin season. Over the last 90 days, only 15 of the top 50 coins by market cap have outperformed BTC. For it to be altcoin season, 75% of these coins need to have outperformed the leading crypto over this period. 
Altcoin Season To Start In June
Crypto analyst Ryker predicted that the next altcoin season will take place from June to January 2027. This came as he noted that the season usually lasts about six months and occurs when all altcoins are undervalued. The analyst cited the 2017 and 2021 bull cycles, when the market pumped strongly, leading many coins like XRP, ETH, SOL, and LUNA to see 10x gains. 
Ryker noted that it has been up to 4 years since the last altcoin season and advised market participants not to miss the one about to begin and last for 6 months. He also alluded to the OTHERS/BTC chart, which showed that these altcoins are about to break out against Bitcoin. In another X post, the analyst noted that the gains recorded by coins such as ZEC, HYPE, NEAR, and ONDO are just the beginning of altcoin season and that it will lead to pumps for other coins.

The partnership, announced May 28 via PR Newswire, connects Orbital&#8217;s payment orchestration layer to Banking Circle&#8217;s newly activated stablecoin settlement services — capabilities the Luxembourg-based bank launched on April 27, 2026, following its receipt of a Crypto-Asset Service Provider license from Luxembourg&#8217;s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier on April 15, per Stablecoin Insider&#8217;s reporting of the bank&#8217;s announcement.
The timing is notable: Banking Circle became the first institution in Luxembourg to simultaneously hold banking, electronic money token, and CASP licenses — a regulatory trifecta that positions it as one of the most comprehensively licensed digital asset settlement banks in the European Union.
What The Integration With Circle Delivers
Through Banking Circle&#8217;s platform, Orbital gains access to instant two-way fiat-to-stablecoin and stablecoin-to-fiat settlement supporting Circle&#8217;s USDC, Paxos&#8217; USDG, and Banking Circle&#8217;s own euro stablecoin EURI — all with 24/7 real-time execution directly from the bank&#8217;s core platform, per the PR Newswire announcement.
The integration removes a structural friction point that has historically complicated enterprise stablecoin adoption in Europe: the requirement to maintain separate relationships with multiple settlement counterparties across different jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks.
For Orbital&#8217;s enterprise clients — which include businesses managing cross-border payments across both stablecoin and traditional rails — the Banking Circle connection adds direct access to SEPA infrastructure, named IBANs, and full AML and KYC compliance checks within a single integrated payment layer, per the announcement.
The MiCA Context
The partnership arrives as Europe&#8217;s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation enters its operational enforcement phase — creating both an opportunity and a compliance threshold that many payment infrastructure providers are scrambling to meet. Banking Circle&#8217;s simultaneous licensing across banking, EMT, and CASP categories means Orbital&#8217;s stablecoin settlement activity now operates under the same regulatory oversight framework that governs its traditional payment operations — a structural alignment that matters considerably for the institutional clients both companies serve.
The broader European stablecoin infrastructure buildout is accelerating in parallel. A consortium of twelve European banks including ING, UniCredit, and CaixaBank is advancing the Qivalis euro stablecoin project with a planned launch in the second half of 2026 — signaling that the institutional demand Orbital and Banking Circle are positioning to capture is expanding rapidly across the continent.
This development marks a pivotal moment for the nascent sector&#8217;s integration with Europe&#8217;s regulated financial infrastructure. A payment orchestration platform connecting stablecoin rails to a bank processing €1.5 trillion annually — under full MiCA oversight — is precisely the institutional plumbing the sector has been building toward, and its arrival suggests the gap between crypto payment infrastructure and traditional finance settlement is narrowing faster than most observers anticipated.

In a May 27 livestream, the Cardano founder gave an detailed account of why the Gillette, Wyoming clinic is being shut down, framing the decision as the result of structural losses, weak local support, difficult healthcare economics and a business model he said could not survive without subsidy or a private-equity-style operating approach.
Hoskinson said the project began in 2021 as a family effort involving his father and brother, both physicians, and was intended to build a “center of excellence” in an underserved rural market. The clinic eventually served about 22,000 patients, which he said amounted to roughly two-thirds of the town. But the economics moved in the wrong direction.
According to Hoskinson, the facility initially lost about $4 million per month before cost reductions brought losses down to roughly $1.7 million per month. He said even that reduced burn rate remained untenable, especially because reimbursements for primary care and mental health often failed to cover the clinic’s cost per appointment.

“The American health care system is broken,” Hoskinson said. “This was never a business. It was basically a charity.” He added that the clinic had become “an indispensable component of the public health of that county,” but said local and state stakeholders were unwilling to provide the kind of support needed to keep it operating.
Why This Matters For Cardano And Midnight
The most relevant part for crypto markets and Cardano observers came when Hoskinson connected the clinic’s failure to his own allocation of time. He said his strongest focus is no longer on running fee-for-service clinical operations, but on areas where he has expertise and influence.
“Every day I wake up, I say, ‘How do I get Midnight adopted? And how do I get Cardano back into the top 10, back into the top five?’” Hoskinson said. “These are the things that I’m primarily interested in. And these are the things that I have core expertise in and agency over changing.”
That line gives the livestream a different significance from a local business postmortem. Hoskinson has often operated across a wide portfolio of ventures, including blockchain, ranching, healthcare, regenerative medicine and policy interests. In this video, he described the clinic as a costly diversion that ultimately could not be reconciled with his main professional priorities.
He did not present the closure as a bankruptcy or liquidity problem. Hoskinson said he has “well more than enough money” to settle bills and close accounts, and that the facility will remain vacant for a time while conversations continue with other healthcare systems that may be able to use the building.
The explanation also included a broader critique of US healthcare incentives. Hoskinson argued that clinics in primary care are structurally disadvantaged by insurance reimbursements, Medicare and Medicaid rates, hospital billing advantages and a system that rewards procedures, cancer treatment and pharmaceuticals far more than routine care. He said the clinic faced a choice between dramatically increasing patient volume, relying more heavily on mid-level providers and reducing specialist capacity, or shutting down.
“We could have built it as a steel warehouse with crude fixtures. It would still lose money,” he said. “That’s just the reality of the matter. It had nothing to do with the capex. It had to do with the opex.”
For Cardano, the livestream is notable less for any specific roadmap update than for the signal it sends about Hoskinson’s bandwidth. He described Midnight adoption and Cardano’s return to the upper tier of crypto market rankings as daily priorities, while making clear that running a rural clinic is not a venture he expects to revisit soon.
At press time, ADA traded at $0.23.

The chief risk officer at Strive Asset Management said this week that Bitcoin-backed securities could reshape how people think about money and credit — and that skepticism around the sector partly stems from how straightforward the concept seems.
A Growing Class Of Yield-Bearing Products
Strive is not alone in betting on that idea. The Dallas-based firm has joined a field of companies issuing preferred securities tied to Bitcoin treasury holdings, a category that issuers are calling &#8220;digital credit.&#8221;
Strategy, the world&#8217;s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, offers four such products: STRC, STRD, STRF, and STRK, with STRC emerging as the dominant instrument since its launch in July 2025.
Strive&#8217;s own entry into that space, its SATA preferred shares, carries a 13% annualized dividend rate and was described by the company as the first listed US security structured to pay dividends every business day.
The firm recently cleared all outstanding debt and announced that daily dividend payments on SATA would begin in June. SATA&#8217;s market capitalization currently sits at around $332 million, a fraction of STRC&#8217;s more than $10 billion.
Strive Climbs The Bitcoin Treasury Rankings
The fresh purchase puts Strive at 16,500 BTC total, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing covering the period of May 19 to 22.
At current valuations, that positions the firm seventh among public companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets, with roughly $1.3 billion in BTC.
The company also reported about $93 million in cash and cash equivalents as of May 22, along with approximately $50.1 million in fair value tied to its holdings of Strategy&#8217;s STRC product.
Strive also grew its Class A common shares outstanding by more than 2 million during the period, while SATA preferred share count rose by about 515,000, reflecting continued use of equity-linked financing to fund Bitcoin acquisitions.
The company said it is evaluating refreshed at-the-market stock sale programs that could support further purchases.
The Broader Digital Credit Push
STRC recorded a single-day trading volume of $1.53 billion earlier this month, a record for the product. Strategy chairman Michael Saylor called STRC the company&#8217;s main vehicle for funding Bitcoin purchases in 2026, and shareholders are set to vote soon on a proposal to shift dividend payments to twice monthly.
Strive was founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, who ran for US president before pivoting to a Republican gubernatorial campaign in Ohio.

The US Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Southern District of New York unsealed the complaint against Michele Spagnuolo, 36 — also known by his Polymarket account alias &#8220;AlphaRaccoon&#8221; — on May 27, 2026. Spagnuolo, an Italian citizen residing in Switzerland, was arrested in New York and appeared before US Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn, where he was released on a $2.25 million bond secured by $1 million in cash, per the DOJ&#8217;s official statement. He did not enter a plea.
How The Scheme Worked
According to the unsealed complaint, Spagnuolo had access to an internal Google software tool — bearing a banner marked &#8220;Google Confidential&#8221; in red text — that provided real-time visibility into what users were searching across Google&#8217;s platform, including data that fed directly into Google&#8217;s annual &#8220;Year in Search&#8221; rankings, per the DOJ filing.
Beginning in May 2024, Spagnuolo created a Polymarket account and began placing bets on contracts tied to which individuals would rank on Google&#8217;s most-searched list for 2025 — markets Polymarket launched last fall, per the complaint.
Prosecutors allege Spagnuolo transferred approximately $3.8 million in USDC to his Polymarket address and placed bets including a $381.12 &#8220;yes&#8221; wager that the artist d4vd would rank in Google&#8217;s most-searched list and correctly predicted contracts such as &#8220;Will Zohran Mamdani rank in the Top 5 most searched&#8221; and &#8220;Will Squid Game be the number one searched TV show,&#8221; per CNBC&#8217;s reporting of the complaint. His success rate across these markets was, according to the complaint, no accident. He knew the answers before the markets settled.
The CFTC filed a simultaneous civil case against Spagnuolo seeking monetary disgorgement, restitution, and additional penalties, per the complaint. Google confirmed it had placed Spagnuolo on leave and was cooperating with law enforcement — noting that the tool he used was technically available to all employees, but that using confidential information to place bets represented a serious breach of company policy, per a statement reported by ABC News.
The Second Case In Thirty Days
The Spagnuolo arrest is the second federal criminal case tied to Polymarket insider trading in just over a month. In April 2026, US Army Special Forces Master Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke was arrested for allegedly using classified military knowledge of the planned capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to place bets on Polymarket, reportedly netting more than $400,000. Van Dyke has pleaded not guilty, per CNN&#8217;s reporting.
Polymarket&#8217;s chief legal officer Olivia Chalos said in a statement that the company worked closely with the US Attorney&#8217;s Office and the CFTC on the Spagnuolo case — noting that Polymarket is the only prediction platform to date whose cooperation has led to insider trading charges in the United States, and that the blockchain-based nature of the platform means bad actors leave footprints.
This development marks a critical and accelerating moment for the nascent prediction market sector. Two federal insider trading arrests in thirty days — one involving military classified information, the other corporate search data — arriving simultaneously with an active congressional investigation into Polymarket and Kalshi, confirms that the legal perimeter around prediction markets is closing fast. The transparency of blockchain trading, once seen primarily as a feature for users, is now functioning as a forensic trail for federal prosecutors.

The move, flagged by Galaxy in a thread on X, immediately raised the question that sits at the center of the episode: why would anyone deliberately destroy a large amount of Bitcoin rather than sell it, move it, donate it, or leave it dormant?
“ACTUAL ONCHAIN BOATING ACCIDENT?” Galaxy Research wrote. “On Monday, 5 bitcoin addresses sent ~107 BTC ($8.3m) to an old burn address, making the coins provably unspendable. Why would someone do this? The Galaxy Research team&#8217;s best theories are in the thread below (spoiler: none are very good).”
The burn address in question is not merely a wallet whose owner lost a key. Galaxy said the address, 1111111111111111111114oLvT2, corresponds to a Hash160 value of twenty zero bytes. Encoding that with Bitcoin’s P2PKH version byte produces the address. In practical terms, spending coins from it would require finding a public key whose Hash160 is all zeros, an outcome Galaxy framed as computationally out of reach.
That makes the transaction different from a mistaken transfer to an exchange address, a wallet controlled by an unknown counterparty, or an address whose private key may exist somewhere. The coins were not simply moved into obscurity. They were sent to a destination designed to be unspendable.
Theories Why Someone Burns $8.3 Million In Bitcoin
Galaxy’s first theory was tax-related, but the firm appeared skeptical of its own explanation. A sender could have been attempting to create a tax loss by destroying the coins, the team wrote, but that logic weakens if the Bitcoin was acquired long ago. “Most are very old, so selling them would produce gains, not losses,” Galaxy said.
The thread then moved into more speculative territory. Galaxy suggested the burn could have been motivated by religious reasons, citing traditions in which adherents renounce possessions. But it also noted that giving assets away, rather than destroying them, is the more typical pattern. That distinction matters: a donation or transfer would move wealth to another party, while a burn removes it from circulation entirely.
Another possibility raised by Galaxy was that the coins were tied to illicit activity and that the sender concluded there was no viable path to launder or spend them. In that scenario, destruction would function less as a financial decision than as a risk-management act, eliminating the asset rather than attempting to move it through traceable channels.
Galaxy also floated darker explanations involving coercion. “Perhaps the sender was under some form of duress, such as torture or threat of kidnapping or bodily harm, and instead of making him spend the coins to the attacker, the attacker is sick and twisted and instead demanded the victim destroy his wealth. We sincerely hope it is not this one.” The firm added a related theory in which proof-of-burn was demanded as an initiation ritual for a club or cult.
The most striking theory, and the one Galaxy described as “perhaps among the most likely,” was not human ideology or criminal pressure but an automated error. The team imagined a large trading or Bitcoin operation using an agentic system to execute transfers. “Say you are running a big agentic trading or bitcoin operation, and you recently onboarded a new counterparty,” Galaxy wrote. “You instruct your agent to ‘send the counterparty 107 BTC’ and the [agent] accidentally sends it to the Countparty (Burn Address) instead of your counterparty.”
The typo-like logic behind that theory is notable. “Counterparty” is also associated with one of Bitcoin’s older burn mechanisms, and the address used here has long been known as a burn destination. If an automated system confused a real counterparty with a burn address label, the result could be catastrophic: an irreversible transfer with no recovery path.
Galaxy did not claim to have identified the sender, and the thread made clear that each theory remains conjecture. “We may never know who sent the 107 BTC or why, but these are the best we can come up with,” the firm wrote, inviting other explanations.
At press time, BTC traded at $72,828.

The attackers cycled funds through multiple wallets to repeatedly farm rewards, taking advantage of flaws baked into the protocol&#8217;s incentive structure.
A Wave Of Attacks Hitting The Ecosystem
That incident was one of several to rock the DeFi space in recent days. Fraudulent Google advertisements impersonating Uniswap also surfaced earlier this week, routing unsuspecting users to phishing sites designed to steal wallet credentials — a scam that reports say drained at least $400,000 before it was flagged.
The back-to-back incidents set the stage for a blunt public warning from Manuel Aráoz, the founder of OpenZeppelin, one of the most widely used smart contract security firms in the industry.
Aráoz said he now considers all of DeFi unsafe, a statement that spread quickly across developer circles after he posted it online.
His reasoning cuts to a basic problem in how blockchain security works. Defenders have to find and patch every single vulnerability, while an attacker only needs one to drain a protocol entirely.
PSA: I now consider *all* of DeFi unsafe.
Coding agents are superhuman at finding vulnerabilities, and smart contract security is too asymmetric: defenders need to fix every bug while attackers need just one exploit to steal funds.
— Manuel Aráoz (@maraoz) May 26, 2026
AI Tools Shifting The Balance
Aráoz pointed to AI-powered coding tools as the reason that balance has gotten harder to manage. Reports indicate he believes these tools allow attackers to scan contracts for weaknesses at a speed and scale that most security teams cannot match.
He went further in private communications, reportedly advising friends and family to pull their funds from major DeFi platforms altogether, including Aave, MakerDAO, and Compound. Those three platforms represent a significant share of total value locked across decentralized finance.
Cybersecurity analysts have raised similar concerns, warning that AI is accelerating how fast attackers can map out vulnerabilities, build phishing infrastructure, and run simulated exploit strategies against live protocols.
Complexity Making Defense Harder
The problem is compounded by how modern DeFi protocols are built. Many now stack multiple components on top of each other — bridges, lending systems, staking mechanisms, automated reward contracts — and each additional layer widens the surface area that has to be defended.
OpenZeppelin itself previously flagged how dangerous these combinations can be, identifying a vulnerability that emerged from the interaction between ERC-2771 and Multicall standards, two widely used contract types that created unintended exposure when used together.
Major protocols have responded by pouring resources into audits, bug bounty programs, and formal verification. Reports note that even those efforts have not fully closed the door on phishing attacks and incentive manipulation schemes.
The concern now is whether smaller DeFi projects — those without the budget for continuous security reviews — can hold up against attackers who are moving faster than before.

Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index Is Signaling Extreme Fear Again
The &#8220;Fear &amp; Greed Index&#8221; is an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment present among investors in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets.
To represent the market mentality, the index make use of a numerical scale running from zero to hundred. When the metric has a value under 47, it means the average investor is showing fear toward digital assets. On the other hand, the indicator being above 53 suggests the dominance of greed in the sector. Values between these two cutoffs naturally correspond to a net neutral sentiment.
Besides these three main zones, there are also two &#8216;extreme&#8217; regions called the extreme fear (values of 25 and below) and extreme greed (above 75). Currently, the index is in the former of these two zones.
As is visible, the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index has a value of 25, which is right on the boundary of the extreme fear territory. Earlier in the week, the indicator had managed to escape out of this zone, but the latest level suggests that the improvement in sentiment couldn&#8217;t last.
The latest decline in the index has come as the various cryptocurrencies have faced a pullback. Bitcoin, which had recovered into the high $77,000 levels earlier, is now back below $75,500.
Historically, the extreme sentiment zones have held much significance for the sector as they have been where major price tops and bottoms have tended to form. The relationship between sentiment and the market&#8217;s trajectory has been an inverse one, however, meaning that extreme fear is where bottoms have appeared while extreme greed has facilitated top formations.
Considering this, the return to extreme fear may not exactly be a negative for the market. That said, just entry into the zone alone isn&#8217;t enough to force a bottom, as in the past, the index has often stayed in the region for long periods before Bitcoin and others have reversed their course.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index incorporates a variety of metrics related to the sector to determine the market sentiment. One factor included in the index is social media sentiment. In an X post, analytics firm Santiment has talked about how bullish and bearish comments related to digital assets have compared on the major social media platforms recently.
From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent that bearish sentiment has outweighed the bullish one on social media recently, indicating that the crowd on these platforms has also been pessimistic toward Bitcoin and others.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $75,400, down almost 3% in the last seven days.

The Staking Angle
That revenue push comes alongside Bitmine&#8217;s biggest single purchase of the year. The company acquired 111,942 ETH last week, stepping in after prices slid below $2,200, a level Chairman Tom Lee described as an attractive buying opportunity.
Ether has been trading between roughly $2,025 and $2,147 over the past seven days.
Lee tied the purchase to a broader outlook he has been pushing for months. He believes a crypto supercycle is coming, driven by Wall Street&#8217;s growing interest in tokenization and the rise of AI-powered agents.
&#8220;We continue to steadily acquire ETH, with Bitmine now owning nearly 5.4 million ETH tokens,&#8221; Lee said in a statement.

&#8211; 202 Bitcoin (BTC)
&#8211; $200 million stake in Beast Industries…
— Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH (@BitMNR) May 26, 2026
A Target Still Within Reach
Bitmine&#8217;s goal is to own 5% of Ether&#8217;s circulating supply, which currently stands at 120.7 million tokens. To get there, the company still needs around 644,596 ETH — a gap Lee said will be closed sometime this year.
The firm had slowed its buying pace earlier in May after snapping up more than 100,000 ETH per week for three straight weeks before resuming with this latest purchase.
Bitmine follows a model similar to Strategy, the Bitcoin treasury company led by Michael Saylor, which has built its business around accumulating crypto regardless of market conditions.
Ether hit an all-time high of $4,946 in August 2025 but has dropped more than 58% since then. Lee has previously argued that steep pullbacks in ETH prices represent buying opportunities rather than warning signs.
Staking Pressure Builds Across Industry
Reports from staking infrastructure provider Everstake say ETH treasury companies are under mounting pressure to generate income through staking and other yield methods.
The appeal of simply holding Ether as a public company has been dulled by the growing popularity of spot crypto exchange-traded funds, reports say.
Staked supply has hit a fresh record. Data shows more than 39 million ETH — roughly 32% of total supply — is currently locked in, with another 3.3 million waiting in the entry queue.
About 234,368 ETH is sitting in the exit queue.

The broader environment remains difficult — but CryptoQuant data has identified a behavioral divergence beneath the surface that suggests not everyone has given up on the altcoin sector, and the participants who have not given up are doing something specific and deliberate with that conviction.
The macro picture that frames the signal is straightforward and familiar. Crypto trading volume has been declining. Investor sentiment has been moving progressively more negative as weeks of sideways price action and macro headwinds have eroded the enthusiasm that briefly returned during the February recovery attempt. The market feels stagnant because, by most conventional measures, it is.
Against that backdrop, one data point stands out as anomalous. Exchange volume for altcoins excluding the top five assets — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and BNB — has been increasing. The broader market is getting quieter, while the segment of the market most associated with speculative risk and early-cycle positioning is getting louder.
That divergence between declining overall sentiment and rising altcoin-specific volume is the signal CryptoQuant has identified as worth examining — because the participants generating that volume in a market this quiet tend to be making deliberate decisions rather than reactive ones, and their behavior at this specific moment in the cycle has a historical context that changes how the current altcoin weakness should be read.
The Market Is Quiet But Someone Is Building Altcoin Positions
The CryptoQuant analysis identifies the behavioral pattern behind the volume divergence with a precision that prevents it from being dismissed as statistical noise. Trading activity is concentrating into altcoins at exactly the moment when overall market participation is declining — a dynamic that describes a specific category of participant rather than broad market enthusiasm returning.
The consensus view on altcoin season remains skeptical. The cycle has repeatedly disappointed participants who positioned for a broad-based altcoin rally that never materialized at the scale previous cycles delivered. That skepticism is visible in the sentiment data, in the declining overall volume, and in the commentary surrounding most altcoin assets trading well below their previous highs.
But skepticism and accumulation can coexist — and the volume data suggests they currently are. While the majority of market participants express caution or outright negativity about altcoin prospects, a quieter cohort is directing capital into the sector with enough consistency to produce a rising volume trend that has persisted through the broader market&#8217;s stagnation.
The most important detail the CryptoQuant report identifies is the trend&#8217;s continuation. The increasing altcoin volume is not a single-session anomaly or a brief spike that has since reversed. It is an ongoing directional development — building quietly, session by session, in a market where most participants are looking elsewhere.
OTHERS/BTC Ratio Attempts Stabilization After Multi-Year Downtrend
The OTHERS/BTC index — which tracks the total crypto market capitalization excluding the top 10 assets relative to Bitcoin — continues showing signs of stabilization after more than two years of persistent underperformance against BTC. The weekly chart reflects the broader reality of the current cycle: capital has remained concentrated in Bitcoin and a small group of dominant assets while the majority of smaller altcoins continue struggling to recover lost market share.
Technically, the structure remains weak on a macro basis, but momentum deterioration appears to be slowing. The ratio is still trading below the 50-week, 100-week, and 200-week moving averages, confirming that Bitcoin dominance over smaller-cap altcoins remains structurally intact. However, the chart also shows that the aggressive decline that defined most of 2024 and early 2025 has transitioned into a prolonged sideways consolidation phase near the 0.12 region.
That behavior matters because major altcoin rotations historically begin with stabilization before momentum expansion becomes visible. The repeated defense of the current range suggests sellers are gradually losing control despite the absence of a confirmed breakout.
Volume has also started increasing during recent recovery attempts, indicating renewed speculative participation beneath the surface even while broader market sentiment remains cautious. If the ratio can reclaim the declining 50-week moving average and establish higher highs, it would signal that capital is beginning to rotate back into higher-risk altcoins after years of concentration in Bitcoin leadership.

That number tells a lot about where AI-driven crypto payments actually stand right now.
A New Layer For Crypto Transactions
Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network operated by Coinbase, has rolled out a tool that lets AI agents carry out blockchain operations directly from a chat interface.
Called Base MCP, the system works with AI models including Anthropic&#8217;s Claude and OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, allowing users to transfer funds, swap tokens, check balances, and pull up transaction history without leaving the conversation window.
The tool also connects to a range of crypto apps, including Morpho, Moonwell, Uniswap, Aerodrome, Avantis, Bankr, and Virtuals.
Users interact with these platforms through the AI agent, which proposes actions that must then be approved by the user through a separate wallet window. The agent has no access to private keys.
Confirmation Required Before Funds Move
Lincoln Murr, Coinbase&#8217;s head of AI Product, described Base MCP as a wrapper on top of existing APIs.
He told Fortune that unlike standalone agentic wallets confined to a terminal, the Base account syncs across both in-agent and in-app activity, carrying a user&#8217;s trade history and portfolio wherever they go.
Base said every proposed transaction goes through the same review process users see with standard Base account requests. Asset changes are simulated before the user confirms anything. No funds move without a deliberate approval step.
The launch is also expected to drive more activity through x402, the agentic payment standard Coinbase introduced in May 2025.
The protocol is designed to let AI agents make small crypto payments as part of a broader micro-transaction economy.
Data shows that economy is still getting started — x402 has processed just $1.1 million in volume over the last 30 days, according to x402scan.
Security Researchers Flag Risks
Not everyone is convinced the infrastructure is ready for wider use. A research paper from Google and several universities concluded that AI agents should be treated as untrusted components within any system.
The research warns that bad actors can manipulate agents by embedding hidden instructions inside data the agent processes.
Those concerns are not purely theoretical. The developer platform Socket recently uncovered malware targeting crypto developers that worked by injecting concealed instructions into AI coding tools to redirect their behavior.
Reports indicate that Base MCP supporters argue the confirmation step addresses the core risk, but researchers say the problem runs deeper than any single safeguard can fix.

The price is under pressure — but top analyst Darkfost has identified a signal in the exchange flow data that suggests the current weakness may be obscuring a development that the price chart is not yet reflecting.
The context Darkfost establishes first is the broader market environment that makes the Chainlink signal worth isolating. Since the local bottom recorded in early February, the crypto market has shown early signs of recovery. Total3, which measures the combined market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, has increased by more than 15% over that period. The recovery exists, but it has been deeply uneven.
Some assets have dramatically outperformed the baseline. HYPE has surged nearly 190% since the February lows — a move that reflects a specific combination of genuine utility growth, ETF momentum, and institutional accumulation that most altcoins have not been able to replicate. The broader altcoin market has recovered modestly while a handful of assets have generated cycle-defining returns.
In that kind of selective environment, Darkfost argues that flow data becomes the most useful tool available for identifying where genuine investor interest is shifting before it becomes visible in price. And in that data, Chainlink is beginning to send a signal worth paying close attention to.
The Biggest Chainlink Withdrawals Since 2025
Darkfost&#8217;s Chainlink signal is specific and documented. The top 10 outflow transactions on Binance — the largest daily withdrawals by transaction size — have increased sharply in recent weeks, reaching their highest level since 2025. Throughout May, the largest daily outflows averaged more than 3,600 LINK, with several individual sessions recording spikes above 5,000 LINK withdrawn in a single day.
These are not routine portfolio adjustments. They are the behavioral signature of participants making deliberate, large-scale decisions to move Chainlink off the exchange and into external storage.
The price context is what makes the outflow data significant rather than simply notable. These record withdrawals are occurring while LINK is still trading approximately 66% below its previous cycle highs. The participants driving the largest outflows are not accumulating into strength or chasing a recovery that has already run. They are building positions at deeply discounted levels — a behavioral profile consistent with long-term conviction rather than short-term momentum trading.
Darkfost is careful about what a single indicator can and cannot confirm. Large outflows accelerating do not guarantee a structural reversal — on-chain signals require corroboration before they become actionable conclusions. What the current Chainlink outflow data does suggest is that a portion of the market has made a quiet, deliberate decision about where the asset is heading from here — and has begun repositioning accordingly, well before the price has given any public confirmation that the thesis is correct.
LINK Continues Grinding Near Support
Chainlink remains trapped in a prolonged consolidation structure below the psychological $10 level, with price continuing to trade inside a tight range that has defined most of the market since February. The daily chart shows LINK struggling to establish sustained momentum despite repeated attempts to reclaim higher resistance zones near $10.50 and $11.
Technically, the structure remains fragile but stable. LINK is currently trading around the convergence area of the short-term moving averages, reflecting the indecision that has dominated recent price action. The 50-day moving average has flattened after months of decline, while the 100-day and 200-day averages continue trending downward overhead, showing that the broader macro trend has not yet fully reversed bullish.
At the same time, the chart also highlights an important shift in behavior compared to the aggressive selling phase seen earlier this year. Since the sharp breakdown in February, LINK has consistently formed higher lows around the $8.50–$9 support region, suggesting that buyers continue absorbing sell pressure whenever price approaches that area.
As long as LINK holds above the $8.50–$9 range, the broader accumulation structure remains intact despite the lack of immediate upside expansion.

Trump Says CFTC Rules Will Help Crypto ‘Thrive’
In a new statement shared Tuesday on Truth Social, Trump said it is “critically important” that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) retain “exclusive authority” over prediction markets, and he added that the sector “will thrive” under that approach.
The president also framed the issue as part of building what he described as “rules of the road” that set a “Gold Standard for the States.” He said other countries are pursuing this “new form of Financial Market,” and the US must remain competitive. 
Trump tied the prediction market question directly to the broader push for US leadership in crypto, writing that while the US is currently the global “Crypto (Bitcoin, etc.) Capital of the World,” other countries are trying to replace America in that role—and that they “won’t let that happen.”
Trump’s remarks came after an investigation by The New York Times published Sunday that described how the CFTC has played an active role in advancing prediction markets “at virtually every turn.” 
The report also alleged that the regulator has softened its enforcement posture toward digital currencies. It said the agency did so by changing internal staffing—specifically culling ranks and sidelining career officials—steps the investigation suggested reflect a more permissive regulatory direction.
States Clamp Down On Prediction Markets
Prediction markets are increasingly on the defensive as states move to restrict them, often arguing they operate like “unlicensed casinos and violate state gaming laws.” 
On one side of the debate are Trump and allies within the CFTC, who argue that prediction markets are truly “markets” and should be treated like other federally regulated trading venues, such as securities markets and commodities markets. 
On the other side, a growing group of governors and state attorneys general—drawn from both political parties—contend that event contract betting, particularly when it involves sports, is essentially gambling. They argue it should therefore be regulated at the state level in the same way casinos and lotteries are.
Minnesota has become a focal point in this fight. The Democratic governor, Tim Walz, signed a law last week that would ban prediction market sites from operating in the state—described as the first-of-its-kind legislation in the nation. The administration filed a lawsuit aimed at asserting the CFTC’s authority over Minnesota’s decision.

With the altcoin experiencing steady downside movement, this move has introduced serious pressure on investors and traders as they endure losses from their positions.
Waning XRP Price Movement Intensifies Pressure On Traders
XRP traders are experiencing pressure due to the asset&#8217;s protracted sideways price movement, which is putting pressure on both the spot and derivatives markets. With its inability to create a clear directional breakout, traders are caught between waning momentum and uncertainty about the market&#8217;s future course.
This pressure has increased over the past month, making this period a critical one for the leading altcoin. Data from Santiment, a popular on-chain data analytics platform, shows the average XRP trader that has been active in the past 30 days is down a whopping -47%. At the same time, many traders have been selling their coins at the bottom, increasing the volatility across the XRP market.
In the past, the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) average trading returns have remained average out to 0%, making the current period an extreme undervalued zone for XRP. The MVRV chart on the 30-day timeframe is currently showing a decline to its lowest level since December 2020, suggesting that fear and frustration among traders have reached rare extremes that have historically led to strong rebounds.
Despite the major price retracement that has caused the altcoin to lose over half of its market value since last summer, Santiment highlighted that optimism is still present among patient investors. This bullish sentiment is driven by regulatory progress, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) speculation, and Ripple’s long-term adoption narrative.
Santiment drew attention to XRP’s massive rally in late 2024 and early 2025, which left many traders buying near local tops before momentum cooled off. However, repeated selling pressure has pushed many short-term traders deeply underwater since then.
When MVRV moves deeper into negative territory, it is often caused by retail traders giving up, creating conditions where even small positive catalysts can trigger strong rebounds. While weak MVRV readings do not guarantee a reversal, they typically signal that the majority of panic selling has already happened and downside risk becomes more limited relative to potential upside.
A Final Flush For The Altcoin
Despite falling sharply over the past few months, this downside performance does not seem to have come to an end yet, as XRP may witness one last drawdown. After examining its price action on the 4-hour chart, CasiTrades has predicted a pullback before any upward attempt.
Over the past few days, the altcoin has continued to reject below the major consolidation pattern. As seen on the chart, XRP has spent over 4 months trying to break past the $1.65 resistance. Furthermore, the longer this fails to reclaim the level, the more likely it becomes clear that a final flush will take place into the lower macro supports.
When this happens, the next key supports are $1.10 and $0.87. CasiTrades expects the recovery to occur after these macro supports have been tested aggressively. Meanwhile, the first true sign of that shift will be the altcoin reclaiming $1.65 and turning it into support.

The CFTC said it carried out a thorough reexamination of the matter, looking back at the investigation’s history, the evidence it relied on, the decision to file charges, and how the case was litigated. 
CFTC Cites Lacking Credibility
Based on that review, the CFTC concluded that the complaint should not have been filed and that it would not have been brought under the agency’s current enforcement approach. 
In its release, the regulator laid out several reasons for that determination. It said the complaint leaned heavily on a whistleblower account that it described as lacking credibility. 
It also argued that the investigation was not focused on the alleged fraudsters at the center of the underlying dispute, but instead pursued Gemini—whom it characterized as a fraud victim—for purported false statements made during the company’s registration application process. 
The CFTC further said there were serious questions about the strength of the evidence against Gemini. The agency asserted that personnel improperly influenced the CFTC’s regulatory authority in a way that effectively created settlement leverage.
What Happens To Gemini’s Remaining Injunction
Because of its findings, the CFTC said it determined that pursuing enforcement of the consent order’s prospective provisions would no longer serve the regulator’s mission or the public interest. 
The CFTC explained that the consent order’s non-prospective parts—such as the civil monetary penalty—have already been satisfied, and it argued that keeping remaining prospective elements in place, including injunctive relief, would not be equitable.
Gemini previously settled the CFTC’s charges in January 2025, during the final weeks of President Joe Biden’s administration. As part of that settlement, Gemini paid a $5 million penalty and agreed to an injunction barring the company from making false or misleading statements to the CFTC.

The update comes as key price levels are broken and signs of weakness begin to emerge, raising concerns that BTC’s recovery may be losing momentum and a decline could be imminent.
Bitcoin Risk Index Signals Major Threat
Market analyst Crypto Tice is sounding the alarm on Bitcoin after flagging the cryptocurrency’s weakening market structure and rising downside risk. In a recent X post, the analyst stated that the Bitcoin risk index, a metric used to measure the current market environment, has moved back into “a high risk zone.” 
According to him, this dangerous shift signals that the safe market conditions that had previously supported BTC’s recovery above $83,000 are now starting to break down. He added that the price area between $78,000 and $79,000, which previously acted as a breakeven level for many traders, has also been lost. 
In his view, this change suggests that selling pressure is no longer fully absorbed by buyers and that sellers are now gaining more control over the market and BTC’s short-term price direction.
Attempting to pinpoint BTC’s next move, Crypto Tice outlined two possible paths from here. In the first scenario, the analyst suggested that if Bitcoin’s risk index falls back below 25, the market could stabilize, and the cryptocurrency’s recovery trend may continue. 
However, he highlights a less optimistic scenario for his second outlook. Crypto Tice stated that if Bitcoin’s risk reading continues to rise, it could be an early confirmation that a broader breakdown has officially begun. The analyst noted that the BTC price would then enter a more fragile phase where recent support levels may no longer hold.
As a warning, Crypto Tice stressed that BTC’s current structure, which has supported its price for weeks, is now under serious threat. While he did not predict a specific price direction, he cautioned that the next move could be significant and urged traders to closely monitor Bitcoin’s risk index for further confirmation of trend direction.
BTC Sits At Critical Price Level That Could Decide Next Move
In a separate analysis, crypto expert Killa has identified a key Bitcoin price level that is critical to its broader market direction. He stated that BTC is currently in a make-or-break zone that could determine whether its uptrend continues or reverses, depending on its next move. 
If Bitcoin holds current levels and rebounds toward $81,000 to $82,000, the analyst said it would confirm a shift in structure and suggest the market is continuing higher. He described this move as a strong bullish signal, noting that many traders are underestimating its importance.
On the flip side, the analyst has warned that a breakdown below current support levels would automatically invalidate Bitcoin’s bullish setup and open the door to a deeper correction. In that scenario, he sees BTC potentially dropping below $60,000 as selling pressure intensifies.
