As a result of this distribution round, the second-largest cryptocurrency dropped by approximately 6.2%, forming a local bottom at $2,020. 
Although Ethereum has an ostensibly bearish structure, a recent on-chain analysis has revealed notable buying activity in its market. Yet, the Ethereum price weakness seems almost unchecked — below are the details of its current on-chain dynamics. 
Spot Buyers Step In, But ETH Continues To Fall
In a recent Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, on-chain analyst Carmelo Alemán outlined the factors behind Ethereum’s current price weakness. In the analysis, Alemán revealed that the altcoin&#8217;s current downward trend is not due to a lack of demand in the spot market.
Alemán stated, as a matter of fact, that the Spot Taker CVD is reflecting that Ethereum’s spot market is still Taker Buy Dominant. This means aggressive market buyers are executing more buy orders than sellers are executing sell orders over a given period.
In spite of this, the Ethereum price doesn&#8217;t seem to be gaining significant strength from a broader perspective. As the Spot Taker CVD flashed the aforementioned sign, the price of ETH actually contracted from $2,339 on May 11 to $2,065.8 by May 22.
However, it is worth noting that spot trading activity has also contracted sharply since May 11, with spot volume reportedly falling from approximately 470,770 ETH to 256,963 ETH (a decline of over 45%); this amounts to a 52.65% drop from around $1.10 billion to $521.4 million.
Derivatives And Exchange Activity Show Mixed Signals
Furthermore, the crypto analyst pointed out that Ethereum’s derivatives market has yet to show strong conviction in its bullish traders&#8217; behavior. “Open Interest is moving sideways: from $15.43B to $15.54B, barely +0.69%,” Alemán noted.
While this is the case, Futures CVD still points to a predominance of long positions, indicating that many participants continue to bet on a rebound. Interestingly, Alemán pointed out that Funding Rates have also remained positive since May 11, meaning long traders are paying short traders to maintain their positions.
Adding to the list, the on-chain analyst revealed that Ethereum’s cumulative Exchange Netflow also read negative, near -80,507 ETH. This means that more ETH was withdrawn from exchanges than was sent to them.
Typically, this should be a bullish sign for Ethereum price, as coins moved away from exchanges are often held for storage rather than for sale, which is typical of high net inflows. Yet, the Ethereum price failed to gain bullish strength.
Alemán mentioned that Ethereum’s current trend could only be due to more supply being available for sale relative to current demand. This causes the bullish pressure that would otherwise have risen from both spot and futures markets to be absorbed. 
The analyst concluded:
Until ETH recovers spot volume, breaks resistance, and confirms a healthy expansion in derivatives, bearish pressure is very likely to remain dominant. In the short term, the price appears to be heading toward the $1,984 support, and if it breaks, the next stop could be the $1,937 support.
As of this writing, the Ethereum price stands at $2,114, up by more than 2% over the past day.

As it crumbled under the weight of the bears heading into the weekend, the altcoin eventually found a cushion of support just above $2,000 in the early hours of Saturday. However, the Ethereum token seems to be enjoying the attention of a special cohort of investors despite its disappointing run over the past few weeks.
ETH Smart Money Buying The Dip
In a recent post on the social media platform X, Alphractal revealed that a specific set of Ethereum investors known as &#8220;smart money&#8221; is driving a narrative that most of the market might be overlooking. While the headlines have focused on significant Ethereum ETF outflows and ETH losing $2,200 support, smart money investors have remained active in the market.
According to Alphractal, smart money refers to the cohort of investors that owns the largest non-exchange positions in a particular cryptocurrency (ETH, in this case). Using the Smart Money Flow Index, the analytics firm found that this specific set of investors has been accumulating more Ethereum tokens over the past few days.

Going further, Alphractal also shared that the smart money started bridging ETH to Hyperliquid and Base in size during the price downturn on May 14th. The market intelligence platform clarified that the investor cohort was repositioning in the ETH market rather than selling their assets.
Alphractal noted that this behavior was last observed in October 2023, before the price of Ethereum soared from $1,500 to $4,100 — a 173% move. According to recent on-chain data, these smart money investors have been &#8220;net buyers&#8221; 9 out of the last 12 days.
The analytics firm resolved that:
This is why single-metric theses fail on ETH. ETF outflows look bearish alone. Smart Money Flow looks bullish alone. Stack them, and the picture is obvious: retail and ETF allocators are selling under $2,200. The cohort that ACTUALLY moved ETH in the last two cycles is buying it from them.
Ultimately, Alphractal concluded that the Ethereum smart money is buying the dip while ETF and retail investors are shaving their holdings, and, if history is anything to go by, it is a divergence that could yield an over-100 % return.
Ethereum Price At A Glance
As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $2,113, reflecting an over 2% jump in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the second-largest cryptocurrency is still down by about 3% on the weekly timeframe.

Notably, data from SoSoValue shows this is the heaviest outflow from the Bitcoin ETF market since the last week in January, when investors&#8217; activity resulted in a net loss of $1.49 billion.
Bitcoin Spot ETFs Register Six Consecutive Red Days
More details of the last week performance shows the Bitcoin Spot ETFs market recorded a starggering $648.64 million in net outflows on Monday, representing it&#8217;s largest daily net withdrawal since January 29. Meanwhile, the following days recorded lesser but significantly negative performance such as $331.05 million on Tuesday, $70.47 million on Wednesday, $100.82 million on Thursday, and $105.19 million on Friday.
Taken together, the Bitcoin Spot ETFs translates to six consecutive trading days of net outflows while 80% of the last 10 days are also red days. Looking at individual fund performances, BlackRock IBIT investors withdrew $1.01 billion more than deposited, as its cumulative inflows reached $64.77 billion. The dominant market leader now maintains total net assets of $61.09 billion, i.e 6x its closest competitor.
Meanwhile, Fidelity&#8217;s FBTC and Ark/21 Shares&#8217; ARKB also experienced significant net outflows at $111.5 million and $106.81 million, respectively. ETFs including Bitwise&#8217;s BITB, VanEck&#8217;s HODL, Valkyrie&#8217;s BRRR, Invesco&#8217;s BTCO, and Franklin Templeton&#8217;s EZBC all registered capital outlows ranging between $3m &#8211; $10m. Notably, Morgan Stanley&#8217;s MSBT, the market&#8217;s new comer recorded the only positive performance with net inflows valued at $1.11. Other funds such as Grayscale GBTC &amp; BTC, Hashdex&#8217;s DEFI, and Bitwise&#8217;s BTCW all registered zero net activity.
Following this performance record, the Bitcoin Spot ETFs have now recorded a combined $1.00 billion net outflows in May. Meanwhile, their total cumulative net inflows stands at $57.08 billion, with their total net assets valued at $98.87 billion.
Ethereum ETF Negative Streak Extends To 10 Days
As the Bitcoin Spot ETFs struggle with steep withdrawals, their Ethereum counterparts are faring no better after recording a cumulative net outflows of $215.19 million in the last week. Notably, data from SoSoValue shows the Ethereum Spot ETFs have now experienced 10 consecutive trading days of net withdrawals valued at $471.1 million. Total cumulative inflows in this ETF market is valued at $11.62 billion, with total net assets of $11.84 billion, i.e. 4.73% of Ethereum market cap.
At press time, Bitcoin continues to trade at $76,735 reflecting a daily 1.75% gain. Meanwhile, Ethereum is valued at $2,119 after a 2.78% increase within the same period.

After a strong rally, ETH has entered a range-bound structure where buyers and sellers continue to battle for control, allowing the market to absorb gains and establish new support levels. Similar periods of consolidation have often preceded significant directional moves, particularly when accompanied by improving market sentiment and growing institutional participation.
How Consolidation Often Precedes Expansion In Ethereum Cycles
Ethereum’s recent pullback is being interpreted as a necessary reset within a larger cycle. Crypto analyst Rios noted on X that ETH&#8217;s nearly 19% drop could be a cycle reset that helps clear out excessive weak market positioning before a stronger move higher.
Historically, sharp corrections have often occurred during broader uptrends, serving as periods where the market recalibrates before momentum returns into ETH aggressively. At the same time, long-term holders have reportedly maintained their accumulation while interest surrounding spot ETF developments and on-chain network activity remains resilient.
According to Rios, these factors suggest that investor conviction has not materially weakened despite the recent volatility. This move is more like the end of a trend reversal than a volatility reset within a larger bullish structure. However, if the ETH price stabilizes in this region, the next recovery phase could pave the way for a stronger upside momentum than expected.
Concerns Around The Ethereum Foundation Continue To Spark Debate
Massive Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) is currently building up around Ethereum. With concerns ranging from developer departures and Bankless, which has heavily supported ETH and built its entire business and Public Relations (PR) model around it, has sold their ETH and bought the overhyped Zcash. Analyst Papaxem has explained that there’s a lot of FUD about the Ethereum Foundation’s inability to manage the project, and some of these concerns contain elements of truth.
However, the key point often overlooked is that a single entity does not control the Ethereum Foundation. Even as the Ethereum Foundation faces scrutiny, development and ecosystem growth continue through other major contributors such as ConsenSys and a wide range of independent teams. 
This distributed structure is not a weakness, but a reflection of true decentralization in action. From a fundamental value perspective, ETH remains unchanged; its core value proposition, network activity, and role within the broader crypto ecosystem are intact. 
Papaxem stated that from an investor&#8217;s point of view, this environment may represent an asymmetric opportunity, a fundamentally strong asset facing solvable challenges, with price action potentially reflecting fear more than reality. If sentiment stabilizes, ETH could once again demonstrate resilience, as it has in previous cycles marked by similar FUD waves.

However, while most market participants hold negative outlooks, this analyst holds a different view. He believes that Bitcoin is not heading for a decline but is instead preparing to go parabolic. He also dismisses the idea of an ongoing bear market, and warns investors not to miss the projected rally ahead.  
Analyst Sees Bitcoin Price Going Parabolic Soon
Crypto Fergani, a market analyst, has announced that currently “everyone is bearish” in the crypto market and “everyone is calling for lower targets.” In an X post released on May 21, the expert noted that, contrary to the negative sentiment and foreboding Bitcoin price forecasts flooding the market, there has been no bearish news about Bitcoin. 
Instead, Crypto Fergani said that mostly bullish developments have been occurring. He noted that major institutions have been accumulating BTC as adoption for the leading cryptocurrency grows even faster globally. Because of these, the analyst maintains a firm belief that the market is pointing toward a possible uptrend. 
Crypto Fergani stated that people who think that the Bitcoin bear market is still running deserve to miss the potential upward rally that he believes is coming. According to the analyst, the BTC price will go parabolic soon, targeting new all-time highs. He supports his bullish outlook by comparing Bitcoin’s price action with that of the 2022 cycle, where the cryptocurrency skyrocketed by 54.2% after a period of bearishness and sideways consolidation. 
He expects this uptrend to affect not just Bitcoin but also alternative cryptocurrencies. As such, the analyst projects that altcoins could rally by 50x to 100x on average soon. His accompanying chart also predicts a potential climb in the BTC price from current levels above $74,000 toward $128,000, representing a more than 72% rally. Ahead of this projected price surge, Crypto Fergani has warned investors and traders to lock in gains before they miss out. 
BTC’s True Bottom Confirmed Near The $47,000 Zone
Many analysts remain skeptical about Bitcoin’s price outlook, as numerous bearish forecasts have spread across the market. A recent analysis shared by crypto expert Bee on X suggests that Bitcoin is currently in the final phase of its market cycle before it forms a real bottom. 
According to the analyst, every bounce the cryptocurrency has experienced since it recorded its peak above $126,000 in October 2025 has been met with selling pressure. Furthermore, each recovery following these sell-offs has been weaker than the last, pointing to a gradual reduction of bullish momentum.
Bee also noted that Bitcoin dumping is getting more aggressive. He described the current phase as one where retail investors call for a bottom each week, only for the market to prove them wrong. He warned that BTC could continue its distinct pattern of lower highs and lower lows until a real flush wipes out all the overleveraged positions. 
For his Bitcoin outlook, Bee projects a sharp price crash toward the $47,000 to $52,000 region, which he identifies as a potential final bottom. He believes this is the level at which the current market cycle could finally come to an end, making way for a fresh bull cycle.

The move aims to bring digital asset issuers further within the compliance architecture that has long governed traditional banking.
Major Highlights Of New FDIC Proposed Framework
According to a press release on Friday, the proposed rule by the FDIC mainly mandates PPSIs to comply with applicable Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) program requirements, economic sanctions programs, and reporting obligations, including those issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). 
This latest rulemaking follows an earlier FDIC proposal from April 2026, which established prudential standards for PPSIs covering reserve assets, redemption, capital, and risk management. Under the new parallel FinCEN-OFAC proposed rule, PPSIs would formally be classified as financial institutions under the BSA, requiring them to adopt full AML programs and OFAC-aligned sanctions compliance structures, including internal controls, a designated compliance officer, staff training, independent testing, customer identification, suspicious activity reporting, and on-chain transaction screening capabilities. 
In terms of supervision and enforcement, the proposed rule would require the FDIC to notify the FinCEN director at least 30 days before initiating any formal enforcement action or significant supervisory determination related to a PPSI’s AML/CFT program. However, the FDIC signals that PPSIs with demonstrably effective AML/CFT programs would be shielded from enforcement action in most circumstances, except where there is a “significant or systemic failure” to implement required programs. 
For context, PPSI refers to all entities authorized under the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) to issue payment stablecoins as subsidiaries of insured State nonmember banks and State savings associations.
Looking Ahead 
The public comment period on this proposed rule is expected to last until June 9, 2026, which would mark 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register. The final rule will be announced later in 2026, along with implementation details and deadlines. The FDIC estimates that between five and 30 FDIC-supervised PPSIs could seek approval in the first few years following enactment, and that most would leverage existing AML infrastructure from their parent institutions, keeping incremental compliance costs modest.

Sixteen years after that first recorded transaction, the Bitcoin community marked the anniversary on May 22 with fresh evidence of how far the currency has traveled.
Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Transaction That Changed Everything
Back in May 2010, software developer Laszlo Hanyecz posted an offer online: 10,000 BTC in exchange for two Papa John&#8217;s pizzas delivered to his door.
The Bitcoin he spent was worth roughly $41 at the time. At current market prices, that same amount of Bitcoin is valued at more than $767 million — and when Bitcoin hit its all-time high of around $126,000 in October 2025, those 10,000 coins briefly crossed $1.2 billion in value.
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Sixteen years ago, 10,000 BTC bought two pizzas. Today those coins are worth ~$760M and we’re still debating how to tax the transaction.
Adoption and use cases have grown and crypto is now a $3T industry. We need clear rules, a sensible tax and market… pic.twitter.com/t5iI9Bte8h
— Crypto Council for Innovation (@crypto_council) May 22, 2026
The transaction was more than a quirky footnote. Nischal Shetty, founder of crypto exchange WazirX, said the exchange proved that a decentralized digital asset could facilitate real commerce.
Only a few hundred transactions were being processed on the Bitcoin network each day at the time, with almost no payment infrastructure or institutional involvement to speak of.
From Two Pizzas To Oil Tankers
The scale of ambition surrounding Bitcoin has grown dramatically since then. In April 2026, Iran announced that ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world&#8217;s most critical shipping waterways — could pay tolls in Bitcoin, US dollar stablecoins, or Chinese yuan.
The announcement generated significant attention in crypto circles. However, according to Sam Lyman, head of research at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, no onchain evidence exists of any oil toll being paid in Bitcoin as of publication. Tether&#8217;s USDT stablecoin has remained the dominant payment method for those transactions.
The Long Road To Real-World Use
Back home in the US, lawmakers have been pushing Bitcoin-related legislation as well. A renewed effort to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve was introduced through the ARMA bill, with some states also moving to exempt Bitcoin payments from certain taxes.
Hanyecz&#8217;s 2010 purchase remains the symbolic starting point for all of it. His willingness to treat Bitcoin as actual money — at a time when almost nobody else did — helped set the foundation for everything that followed.
What began as a $41 experiment is now a global conversation about national reserves, international trade, and the future of money itself.

Notably, the $76,000 price level has now been tested three weeks in a row and held each time, emerging as a real support zone. However, an obscure on-chain metric may be flashing the clearest bottom signal in Bitcoin’s history.
Key Bearish Signal Arises From Investor Cost Basis Data
In an X post on May 22, CryptoChan shares data from an historically reliable bottom indicator built from two realized price bands: the 6m–10y Realized Price, representing the average acquisition cost of long-term holders, currently at $60,316; and the 0–10y Realized Price, a broader market average cost basis, sitting at $64,412.  The ratio between these two bands indicates how stressed long-term holders are relative to the broader market. When it drops below 0.936 and then recovers back toward 1.0, it has marked the precise bottom moment in every prior Bitcoin cycle. 历史经验表明，当黑线逼近绿线，往往也正是熊市尾声与历史级大底的标志性信号────────────────────────【#BTC 四年周期系列更新】当前图中指标已升至 0.936
2015年熊底该指标从 0.936 升到 1，花费 59天18-19年熊底该指标从 0.936 升到 1，花费 66天… https://t.co/pOwvk1rsDu pic.twitter.com/kr6P4m7bBy
&mdash; CryptoChan (@0xCryptoChan) May 22, 2026
This is because when the ratio touches 1.0, the green line (long-term holder cost) overtakes the black line (full market cost), meaning even the most conviction-driven holders are underwater. That is the moment when selling pressure is fully exhausted, and market sentiment is in extreme panic. In the 2015 bear market bottom, the ratio took 59 days to climb from 0.936 back to 1.0. In the 2018–2019 bear bottom, the recovery took 66 days. In the November 2022 FTX collapse-driven bottom, the journey took 50 days. The ratio is presently at 0.936 again. If the current reading holds and historical data repeats itself, Bitcoin’s definitive bottom window may open sometime around mid-to-late July 2026.
Bitcoin Price Overview
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is valued at $75,269, following a 2.84% loss in the last week. In tandem, the asset’s performance on larger timeframes is also negative, with declines of 4.65% and 3.55% on the weekly and monthly charts, respectively.
According to data from Coincodex, the Fear &amp; Greed Index stands at 28, indicating that fear is significantly affecting the market. Nevertheless, CoinCodex analysts are backing a short squeeze toward $83,354 over the next five days. In a month, they predict a return to $77,741. However, their three-month projection points to a $90,529 price target, suggesting a potential 16% gain over current market prices.

The SEC approval does not automatically open the door — the Commodity Futures Trading Commission must still grant its own exemptive relief before any contracts change hands on the exchange, because Bitcoin is classified as a commodity and falls under the CFTC&#8217;s jurisdiction.
The SEC approved Nasdaq&#8217;s proposal to list the options on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, known as Phlx, on an accelerated basis, with the decision published Friday on the agency&#8217;s website.
A Different Kind Of Bitcoin Contract
The contracts are European-style and cash-settled, meaning buyers receive the difference between the Bitcoin spot price and the strike price at expiration — no actual Bitcoin changes hands.
That structure also removes the risk of early assignment, which sets these apart from options tied to spot Bitcoin ETFs that have been available to investors.
Source: SEC
The contracts will trade under the ticker QBTC, with a minimum price increment of one cent and a position limit of 24,000 contracts per side, which works out to roughly 0.12% of Bitcoin&#8217;s total outstanding supply.
They are tied to the Nasdaq Bitcoin Index, a benchmark that tracks one one-hundredth of the CME CF BTC Real Time Index, which pulls pricing data from major cryptocurrency exchanges every 200 milliseconds.
CME Group filed a comment letter last October arguing the new contracts fall under the CFTC&#8217;s exclusive authority. The SEC pushed back, writing in its order that shared jurisdiction between the two regulators is not new, citing mixed swaps and security futures as existing examples, and referencing Section 717 of the Dodd-Frank Act as the legal basis for concurrent oversight.
A Shift In Tone At The SEC
The approval fits a broader shift underway at the SEC under Chairman Paul Atkins. The agency has moved to drop several enforcement cases against crypto firms that were launched under the previous administration, and Atkins has called publicly for clearer rules that support innovation.
Reports indicate the SEC is also preparing what it calls an innovation exemption that would allow tokenized trading of public company shares on decentralized crypto platforms, even without consent from the companies involved.
The Philadelphia Stock Exchange will host the new QBTC contracts once both regulators have signed off, marking another step in Wall Street&#8217;s growing embrace of Bitcoin-linked financial products.

Bitcoin Apparent Demand Falls To -40K BTC
In a May 22nd post on the X platform, CryptoQuant’s Head of Research, Julio Moreno, revealed that Bitcoin spot demand has been declining over the past few weeks. This on-chain observation comes as the premier cryptocurrency appears to be struggling under significant bearish pressure.
The relevant indicator here is the Apparent Demand metric, which tracks demand by comparing newly mined BTC to the amount of unmoved coin over a period. The on-chain metric provides insight into investor appetite and can be used to decipher different market phases, especially in the long term.
Using this metric as an anchor, Moreno revealed that the Bitcoin spot demand is falling at the fastest pace since January 10th. When the Apparent Demand indicator contracted in early January, the Bitcoin price dipped to around the $90,000 mark before rebounding to $98,000 (alongside the demand).
However, the Apparent Demand was in a massive downturn for most of the first quarter before turning around in early April. Accompanied by a commensurate rise in the price of Bitcoin, the coin’s demand in the spot market improved for most of the previous month.
As observed in the chart above, the on-chain metric has declined to its lowest level since early January. CryptoQuant data show that the 30-day sum of Apparent Demand is around -40,000 BTC.
While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the recent downturn in BTC spot demand, the poor performance of US-based exchange-traded funds might be a good place to start. Nevertheless, when questioned about the contribution of the spot Bitcoin ETFs to this trend, Moreno answered that the exchange-traded funds account for only a small fraction of BTC’s demand growth.
Coinbase Premium Falls To Lowest Level Since February 
At the same time, the Coinbase Premium Gap, which offers insight into institutional investor appetite in the US, also supports the thesis of waning demand in the Bitcoin spot market. According to CryptoQuant data highlighted by Maartunn, Coinbase, the US&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is witnessing its most significant selling pressure since February. 
This evident decline in demand has coincided with the latest dip in Bitcoin&#8217;s price. Hence, it goes without saying that investor appetite in the spot market needs to improve for the premier cryptocurrency to recover in price. As of this writing, the price of BTC sits around $75,600, reflecting a 2.5% slump in the past day.

Meanwhile, Ripple remains on the sidelines and has not indicated plans to go public anytime soon. 
Crypto Exchange Files For IPO As Ripple Remains On The Sidelines
According to a Reuters report, Blockchain.com has confidentially filed for a U.S. IPO with the SEC, officially kickstarting the process for the crypto company to go public. The company joins the likes of Grayscale and fellow crypto exchange Kraken, which are also seeking to go public in the U.S. 
Notably, Blockchain.com could become the fifth crypto exchange to go public in the U.S., joining Robinhood, Coinbase, Bullish, and Gemini. The move to confidentially file for an IPO opens up a regulatory review process that could take at least two to three months before the company moves ahead with its listing plans. 
This could give the company enough time to plan towards a listing when the crypto market recovers. Crypto firms Consensys and Ledger have held off on their IPO plans due to market conditions and are looking to go public once conditions improve. As such, Blockchain.com could make a similar move to secure sufficient funding during the listing. 
Blockchain.com said that it has not yet determined the number of shares that it will offer or the price range for the proposed offering. This information will, however, be available once the crypto company files the registration statement for its IPO with the SEC. It will also include other key information, such as the ticker and the exchange on which it plans to list. 
It is also worth noting that these crypto firms join the likes of Elon Musk’s SpaceX and OpenAI, which are eyeing public listings. SpaceX could go public as soon as next month at a valuation of up to $1.75 trillion, making it the largest public IPO in history. 
Ripple Still Has No Plans To Go Public
Ripple has so far signaled that it has no plans to go public even as other crypto firms eye public listings. Speaking at the XRP conference, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said there are no plans for an immediate listing, with the focus on institutional adoption as they look to onboard more institutions to their services. 
However, in the meantime, crypto prediction market platform Polymarket has launched prediction markets that provide retail investors with a way to gain exposure to private companies like Ripple. These prediction markets are expected to track valuation milestones, IPO timing, and secondary-market activity. Garlinghouse revealed that Ripple is currently valued at around $50 billion, based on its latest share buyback in May.

Besides its impressive price action — outperforming other large-cap assets by a significant margin in the past week — the cryptocurrency seems to be becoming the new darling of institutional investors.
A fairly strong first full trading week for Bitwise’s HYPE exchange-traded fund (ETF) was identified as one of the catalysts behind the coin’s all-time high rally. Interestingly, the latest development suggests that Grayscale’s Hyperliquid ETF might also be making its trading debut soon.
Grayscale Confirms GHYP Ticker For Hyperliquid ETF 
On Friday, May 22nd, Grayscale submitted the third amendment to its spot HYPE ETF S-1 application with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, this latest amendment confirms that the asset management firm’s Hyperliquid ETF will trade with the GHYP ticker upon launch.
After initially submitting a proposal in March, Grayscale has made a series of changes to its Hyperliquid ETF offering, including switching custodians from Coinbase to Anchorage Digital and incorporating native staking yields. Meanwhile, the firm has finally settled on the GHYP ticker after introducing the HYPG ticker in the second amendment.
As Seyffart pointed out, the latest amendment of its SEC filing suggests that Grayscale might be getting closer to launching its spot HYPE exchange-traded fund. This would bring the number of Hyperliquid ETFs on US exchanges to three, including 21Shares and Bitwise’s spot HYPE exchange-traded products.
Interestingly, this development coincides with Grayscale’s reported on-chain activity, with the asset management firm found accumulating significant amounts of the Hyperliquid native token over the past week. On-chain data shows that Grayscale bought 682,190 HYPE (roughly $35 million) over the past week.
HYPE Price Overview
As of this writing, the Hyperliquid token is valued at around $54.7, reflecting a decline of over 5% in the past 24 hours. The past day&#8217;s price action suggests the cryptocurrency may be slowing down after a strong bullish run this week, with a move toward a new all-time high above $62.
According to CoinGecko data, the HYPE price is up more than 26% on the weekly timeframe. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency’s value has grown by roughly 115% so far in 2026, riding on the wave of surging volume and institutional validation of the Hyperliquid platform.

Over 50,000 Koreans Sign Crypto Tax Petition
As South Korean authorities prepare to implement the upcoming Income Tax Act, a petition to block the crypto taxation system has gained massive support from South Korean investors and some policymakers.
The “Petition for the Abolition of Taxation on Virtual Assets” surpassed the signature requirement on May 21, just eight days after its registration. Notably, a petition must gather 50,000 signatures within 30 days of public release to be automatically referred to the National Assembly for review.
For context, crypto assets will be subject to an income tax rate of up to 22%, starting January 1, 2027, for profits exceeding 2.5 million won annually. The South Korean government proposed implementing the Income Tax Act by January 2022, but the rule change has been postponed three times.
At the time of writing, the request to abolish the government’s crypto taxation plans has gathered over 53,000 signatures on the National Assembly’s public petition board. Therefore, the petition will be reviewed by the Finance, Economy, and Planning Committee, which will decide whether to refer it to the Plenary Committee.
The petition argued that, with the recent abolition of the financial investment income tax to promote capital market development, it is difficult to justify forcing separate taxation for crypto assets.
“There are significant concerns that current policies are excessively focused on regulation and securing tax revenue, while neglecting consideration for industrial competitiveness and securing global market leadership,” the request affirmed, adding that, “If taxation is enforced solely for the sake of short-term revenue, it could lead to greater long-term losses, such as industrial contraction and the outflow of capital and talent.”
It also criticized the push to implement taxation before measures like short-selling regulations, listing reviews, investor protection funds, and unfair trading monitoring systems are sufficiently established.
Therefore, the petitioner considers that the crypto asset taxation system requires “a fundamental review rather than mere supplementation or postponement,” noting that the current system will only result in increased burdens on the public and a contraction of the industry. “Now is the time for a comprehensive re-discussion, including the possibility of abolition, rather than forcing through virtual asset taxation,” it reads.
However, previous reports suggest the chances of abolishing or postponing the crypto taxation plan are low, since parliamentary petitions rarely result in legislative change, and officials appear set on the 2027 implementation.
NTS Preparing Income Tax Act Implementation
Last month, the People Power Party (PPP) introduced a bill to amend the Income Tax Act to abolish the taxation of crypto assets. In the amendment, PPP’s floor leader, Song Eun-seok, proposed removing all provisions governing the taxation of digital assets in the current version of the Income Tax Act.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the bill argues that imposing a separate income tax on crypto assets raises concerns regarding the fairness and consistency of the tax system. In addition, it cites guidance from US financial regulators, which classified most digital assets as commodities rather than securities.
Despite these efforts, the National Tax Service (NTS) recently announced it had begun preparations to implement the crypto asset taxation framework next year. In late April, Park Jeong-yeol, Director of the Individual Taxation Bureau at the National Tax Service, outlined the agency’s plan to secure data from exchanges and establish a taxation system to ensure the swift execution of the comprehensive income tax.
The NTS is also accelerating the development of its tax infrastructure, including an AI-driven system to track crypto investment gains, which the agency expects to launch at full scale by the end of the year.

New OKX Perpetuals
In an official release, the companies said that ICE’s futures pricing for Brent and WTI would serve as the underlying reference for the new perpetual contracts launched on OKX’s platform. 
OKX framed the move as a bridge between traditional finance and digital trading, arguing that bringing those benchmark prices into perpetual futures could meet demand from market participants who want familiar pricing data in a more modern format. 
Haider Rafique, Global Managing Partner at OKX, said oil markets are central to the global economy and that ICE’s Brent and WTI futures markets act as the reference point energy traders rely on. 
He added that offering these benchmarks in a “regulated, transparent environment” would give retail traders direct access to widely used energy pricing—positioning the launch as part of OKX’s broader efforts to modernize markets.
Trabue Bland, Senior Vice President for Futures Exchanges at ICE, said the new OKX perpetual contracts would let OKX’s customer base access energy benchmark products derived from ICE’s “deep, liquid, transparent, and global” oil markets. 
The emphasis here is that OKX would be anchoring these perpetual products to ICE’s established benchmark markets, rather than relying solely on a decentralized-style pricing mechanism. 
That matters because, until now, Hyperliquid has been the place many traders have gone for these kinds of oil perp trades. By mid-March, cumulative volume across its oil contracts climbed from about $339 million to around $7.3 billion in roughly two weeks. 
Hyperliquid Under Threat?
At the height of activity, crude oil open interest on Hyperliquid crossed $300 million in March, an amount that reportedly exceeded every other crypto pair on the exchange.
One reason Hyperliquid has remained a preferred venue is its operating model. As The Street reported Friday, the platform’s main advantage is that it supports 24/7 trading even during weekends. 
If OKX structures its new perpetual futures around standard market hours rather than continuous trading, then Hyperliquid’s “always-on” edge could remain intact. However, the competitive comparison may shift quickly depending on how OKX schedules trading hours and liquidity for these products.
Where the rivalry could become more intense is on credibility and access. The key difference, according to the description of both approaches, is how the contracts are priced. 
Hyperliquid’s oil contracts are synthetic instruments, priced using the platform’s own mechanisms. OKX’s contracts, by contrast, are intended to be anchored to ICE’s markets, which OKX characterizes as deep, liquid, and globally transparent. 
The distinction may be especially important because regulatory scrutiny around Hyperliquid’s oil futures has reportedly been increasing.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and ICE raised concerns with regulatory agencies and lawmakers in Washington, arguing that Hyperliquid’s decentralized, anonymous trading environment could allow bad actors to manipulate global oil benchmarks or assist sanctioned entities in bypassing US restrictions.

The price is at a level that demands a response — and CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV has identified a signal in the Bitcoin flow data that places the current moment in a historical context that spans nearly a decade of market cycles.
The Bitcoin Fund Flow Ratio on Binance has returned to the 0.010 to 0.012 zone for the sixth time since 2018. That specific range — and the fact that the market has now visited it six times across eight years of dramatically different market conditions — is what gives the current reading its analytical weight. This is not a metric touching an arbitrary level. It is a metric returning to a zone that has preceded structural turning points in Bitcoin&#8217;s price on five previous occasions.
The mechanics behind the ratio explain why those turning points occur. The Fund Flow Ratio measures BTC flowing through exchanges relative to total BTC transferred across the entire Bitcoin network. When the ratio is elevated, exchanges are driving a disproportionate share of network activity — the signature of active speculation, repositioning, and profit-taking.
When it falls to the 0.010 to 0.012 zone, exchange activity has contracted to a small fraction of total network transfers, reflecting reduced speculative participation and a market that has retreated from aggressive trading behavior.
Five previous visits to this zone preceded what came next. MorenoDV&#8217;s analysis examines whether the sixth is following the same pattern.
The Sixth Visit to This Zone Since 2018
MorenoDV&#8217;s historical mapping of the Fund Flow Ratio gives the current reading its most precise analytical context. The 0.010 to 0.012 zone has appeared at meaningful junctures across Bitcoin&#8217;s entire modern market history — and the pattern that followed each visit is what makes the sixth occurrence worth examining carefully.
The early 2019 instance arrived in the aftermath of the 2018 bear market, when Bitcoin was still trading near its cycle lows and exchange activity had compressed to reflect a market where most of the selling had already occurred. The ratio&#8217;s compression was not a sign of disinterest — it was the behavioral signature of a market where sellers had largely exhausted their pressure and the remaining participants were waiting rather than acting. What followed was the recovery that defined 2019&#8217;s price structure.
The 2020 instance appeared during the base-building phase that preceded Bitcoin&#8217;s most significant bull market expansion. Fund flow activity on Binance remained compressed while price consolidated — and when demand returned and momentum accelerated, the ratio expanded sharply as investors flooded back to exchanges to position for and chase the developing trend. The compression preceded the expansion. The quiet preceded the move.
The current setup presents the same structural question that each previous visit required the market to answer. Either the compression reflects genuine apathy — a market without the demand needed to initiate recovery — or it reflects sell-side exhaustion creating the foundation from which the next phase builds. MorenoDV&#8217;s analysis does not declare which interpretation is correct.
It identifies the zone as the decision point where that question gets answered — and notes that five previous visits produced answers worth paying attention to.
Bitcoin Consolidates Above Key Support
Bitcoin continues consolidating near the $77,000 region after failing to sustain momentum above the critical $80,000 resistance zone earlier this month. The weekly chart shows a market trapped between recovery continuation and a broader macro correction, with price now hovering directly above an important structural support region between roughly $69,000 and $72,000 — the same area highlighted repeatedly throughout the recent consolidation phase.
Technically, BTC remains below the 50-week moving average near the $82,000 region, which continues acting as dynamic resistance after rejecting the latest recovery attempt. At the same time, the price still trades above the 100-week and 200-week moving averages, meaning the longer-term macro structure has weakened but has not fully broken down.
The most important feature on the chart is the developing compression between lower highs and defended support. Buyers have repeatedly stepped in around the highlighted support zones, preventing a deeper retrace toward the low-$60,000 range. However, each rebound has also produced weaker upside continuation, showing that bullish momentum remains fragile while macro uncertainty persists.
Volume has gradually declined during the recovery attempt, suggesting the recent rebound lacked aggressive conviction. This aligns with the broader Fund Flow Ratio analysis showing compressed exchange activity and reduced speculative participation.
For bulls, reclaiming the $82,000 level and the 50-week moving average would be the first signal that the correction phase is losing control. Until then, Bitcoin remains in a sensitive consolidation structure where both continuation and breakdown remain viable outcomes.

The transfer matters because Trump Media’s Bitcoin position was built near much higher levels, leaving the company exposed to one of the more visible corporate treasury drawdowns in the market.
Lookonchain framed the move as an open question, writing: “Trump Media just sold 2,650 BTC ($205M)?” The account said Trump Media had bought 11,542 BTC for about $1.37 billion at an average cost of $118,522, previously transferred out 2,000 BTC at about $87,378, and then deposited another 2,650 BTC into Crypto.com. On-chain data places the latest deposit between roughly 01:22 and 02:22 GMT on May 22, with Bitcoin trading near $77,300 at the time.
Did Trump Media Really Sell The Bitcoin?
The key caveat is that an exchange deposit is not the same as a confirmed sale. CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. pushed back on the more aggressive interpretation, writing: “Trump Media-linked wallet deposited 2,650 BTC to Crypto_com, sale is unconfirmed.” That distinction is important because the company’s prior 2,000 BTC movement was later described not as a spot sale, but as collateral tied to hedge arrangements.
Trump Media’s own filings previously showed that the company entered collar hedges on 4,000 BTC and posted 2,000 BTC as collateral to a counterparty with rehypothecation rights, requiring derecognition of those assets from the balance sheet. Arkham estimates that visible on-chain holdings after the latest Crypto.com deposit had fallen to 6.889K BTC valued at $533 million.
The optics are still difficult. Trump Media announced its BTC treasury strategy in May 2025 through a private placement involving about $1.5 billion in common stock and $1 billion in 0.00% convertible senior secured notes, saying proceeds would be used to create a Bitcoin treasury. Crypto.com and Anchorage Digital were named as custody providers for the strategy.
That treasury has since become a major driver of reported results. In its first-quarter 2026 update, Trump Media reported $2.2 billion in total assets and about $2.1 billion in financial assets, but also a $405.9 million net loss, with the bulk tied to non-cash losses including unrealized losses on digital assets, pledged digital assets and equity securities.
The transfer drew sharp reaction from Bitcoin-native commentators. On-chain experz James “Checkmate” Check wrote: “Good, sell it all. Flush all the grift out. Bitcoin has a spectacular way of shedding its skin each cycle, and leaving all the scams, and crime behind. Sit tight.”
The tone captured a broader split in market reaction: some viewed the deposit as capitulation, while others argued the prior collateral episode makes it risky to assume a sale before subsequent wallet activity or filings confirm it.
For Trump Media shareholders, the next relevant question is whether the 2,650 BTC was liquidated, pledged, moved for custody reasons or left on the exchange. If sold near the reported deposit-time value, the tranche would crystallize a loss against the company’s stated average entry price. If not, the transaction may simply become another example of how corporate Bitcoin treasuries now face real-time scrutiny from public wallet labeling.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,430.

The uncertainty is real — but an analysis from platform Arab Chain tracking Binance derivatives activity has identified a condition in the open interest data that adds a specific structural context to the current consolidation.
XRP open interest on Binance has reached approximately $488.3 million — one of the highest readings in the past two months and a level that has been sustained following the peak near $500 million recorded in mid-May, the highest since March. The derivatives market is not thinning out alongside the price weakness. It is holding elevated, reflecting a category of participants that have been adding and maintaining significant futures exposure throughout the period that the price has been struggling to find direction.
The trajectory that produced the current reading is as significant as the level itself. Open interest experienced a clear and sustained upward trend throughout May — climbing progressively toward the $500 million threshold before settling at the current elevated range. That progression describes a derivatives market that has been actively building exposure rather than cautiously positioning, and one that has maintained that exposure even as the price retreated from the mid-May highs.
What that persistent elevation means for XRP&#8217;s next move — whether it represents accumulated fuel for a breakout or fragility that amplifies whatever direction the market eventually chooses — is the question the Arab Chain analysis is built to answer.
Nearly $500 Million in Open Interest and No Sign of Anyone Leaving
The Arab Chain report frames the persistence of elevated open interest as the signal that matters more than the level itself. Open interest approaching $500 million would be notable for a single session. Open interest sustaining near that level across an extended period without widespread contract closures or significant liquidity outflows describes something more structurally significant — a derivatives market where participants have built positions and chosen to hold them through price weakness rather than reduce exposure when the thesis was being tested.
That persistence reflects two conditions developing simultaneously. Leverage has returned to the XRP derivatives market as liquidity has gradually recovered across the broader crypto ecosystem, encouraging traders to build larger and more aggressive positions than the subdued activity of previous weeks permitted. And the participants who built those positions have not been shaken out — the absence of widespread liquidations or outflows confirms that the current open interest represents deliberate, maintained exposure rather than trapped positions waiting to unwind.
The forward implication the report identifies is direction-neutral but volatility-specific. Elevated open interest accumulated over an extended period does not predict whether XRP moves higher or lower — it predicts that when the move arrives, it will be amplified. Nearly $500 million in leveraged positioning is fuel that burns in whichever direction the catalyst pushes first. The size of the accumulated position means the resulting move will be larger than the underlying demand or supply would produce in a less leveraged environment.
For XRP struggling below $1.40, that dynamic cuts both ways — a breakout above resistance finds accelerating buyers as shorts cover, while a breakdown below support finds accelerating sellers as longs liquidate. The open interest data does not indicate the direction. It guarantees the consequence.
XRP Remains Trapped In Compression As Momentum Continues To Fade
XRP continues consolidating near the $1.36 region, with the daily chart showing a market that has entered an extended phase of compression after February’s sharp capitulation event. Price action has become increasingly tight over the past several weeks, reflecting a clear lack of directional conviction from both bulls and bears.
The most important technical feature is the repeated defense of the $1.30 support zone. Since the February low, sellers have repeatedly failed to push XRP into a deeper breakdown despite multiple rejection attempts near the $1.45 resistance area. At the same time, buyers have shown limited strength, with every rally quickly losing momentum below the major moving averages.
The 50-day and 100-day moving averages continue trending downward overhead, reinforcing the broader bearish structure. Meanwhile, the 200-day moving average near $1.70 remains far above current price levels, showing that XRP has not yet repaired the macro damage created during the first-quarter decline.
Volume conditions also continue weakening. Compared to the aggressive liquidation phase seen in February, recent trading activity appears muted and indecisive, suggesting the market is waiting for a catalyst before committing to a larger move.
Technically, XRP remains range-bound between roughly $1.30 and $1.45. A breakout above resistance could trigger renewed momentum toward $1.60, while losing support would likely expose the market to another test of the February lows.

However, a market structure shared by Cryptollica on X suggests the story may not be that simple. 
The chart does not show strength yet, but it does show a familiar location where the alt dominance is currently positioned at a long-term bottom where previous rotations began.
Altcoin Dominance Returns To The Floor
Crypto analyst Cryptollica recently published a long-term look at altcoin dominance, specifically, the ratio of total market cap excluding the top 10 assets to Bitcoin. The chart stretches back to 2016 and points to two major alt rotation phases: the 2017 altseason and the 2021 altseason.
The important thing from the analysis is that altcoin dominance has not simply been collapsing in a straight line. It has been moving inside a rising channel since 2017. The upper side of that channel touched the 2018 cycle top and the 2021 cycle top, while the lower side has acted as a long-term floor during periods of alt underperformance in comparison to Bitcoin.
That compression is precisely where the market sits today. The current setup shows the ratio back near that lower boundary again. As shown in the chart below, the 2026 zone is another possible bottom, similar to the bottom that formed before the 2021 alt rotation. This is why the analysis challenges the idea that altcoins are dead.
The Confirmation Layer Alt Bulls Still Need
Bitcoin&#8217;s share of the total crypto market is currently at 59.9%, according to CoinMarketCap, and the Altcoin Season Index is at 38, which is well below the 75 threshold that would formally confirm an altseason. The numbers look discouraging.
The move of an altseason will come from Bitcoin dominance rolling over. However, history shows that a stronger altcoin season argument needs more than a long-term floor on altcoin dominance. Two major confirmation signals came before the 2017 and 2021 rotations. The first confirmation signal was ETH/BTC bottoming before broader alt dominance. That first signal is not fully present yet. 
The second signal was stablecoin liquidity growing as Bitcoin dominance began to fall. However, liquidity alone does not create altseason, as it needs direction to flow into. Hence, the current setup of the altseason is not that of a dead one but more of a waiting room than a confirmed breakout.
At the time of writing, the dominance index of altcoins excluding the top 10 altcoins is around 0.10 of Bitcoin&#8217;s market cap. The projection from crypto analyst Cryptollica sees the index breaking out and returning to the upper trendline. Such a move would put the total value of the altcoin market outside the top 10 anywhere between 0.6 and 0.8 of Bitcoin’s market cap.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down to roughly $75,834, wiping out about $33.8 billion from its market capitalization. Ethereum (ETH) also slipped to around $2,000, with market cap losses of approximately $8.58 billion.
Crypto Innovation Exemption Delayed
According to Bloomberg, the SEC staff was preparing to release what it calls an “innovation exemption” for tokenized stocks as soon as this week, citing people familiar with the commission’s plans. 
Those sources said a draft framework had already been prepared and reviewed by staff, but the SEC’s timeline has been pushed back as the agency weighs input from stock-exchange officials who have held discussions with SEC staff over the previous few days.
A key sticking point involves the proposal’s openness to trading so-called “third-party tokens.” These are tokens that could be issued without the backing or explicit consent of the public companies associated with the underlying shares. 
The SEC, the reporting notes, has not made any decision to alter its draft proposal, but the lack of finalization appears to be part of the reason the broader crypto market reaction came when the delay became known.
Compliance Risks Mount
Under the SEC’s proposal, crypto platforms that offer these tokenized products would have to ensure that token buyers receive the same rights as traditional shareholders. That includes entitlements such as dividends and voting rights. 
However, former regulators and market experts highlighted that it remains unclear how issuers and platforms would technically meet these requirements in practice when tokens transfer across pseudonymous blockchain networks rather than through conventional shareholder record systems.
The reporting also suggests not all SEC officials agree with expanding the scope to allow third-party tokens. Among those weighing in publicly is pro-crypto Commissioner Hester Peirce.
Peirce posted on X that she expects the innovation exemption to be “limited in scope.” She said it should “facilitate trading only of digital representations of the same underlying equity security that an investor could purchase in the secondary market today.”
There are also compliance and security worries. One cited concern is that token structures could be exploited by bad actors operating overseas, using loopholes in blockchain and crypto-related processes to avoid regulatory oversight within the US.

F2Pool Co-Founder Joins First SpaceX Human Flight Mission To Mars
According to a SpaceX website announcement, Chun Wang is set to fly aboard Starship&#8217;s first human spaceflight interplanetary mission to Mars. Wang was previously the commander of Fram2, the first mission that saw humans fly over the Earth&#8217;s poles.
Before his SpaceX fame, Wang was known for being the co-founder of F2Pool, a major Bitcoin mining pool. A &#8220;mining pool&#8221; refers to a collective of miners who pool together their computing power to have better odds at striking the block reward.
At one point, F2Pool was the largest such pool in the entire world. Today, it&#8217;s still quite dominant in the space, ranking third on MiningPoolStats&#8216; list.
From the table, it&#8217;s visible that F2Pool hosts a Bitcoin Hashrate or total computing power of 111.35 exahashes per second (EH/s) right now, equivalent to 10.2% of the network&#8217;s total Hahrate. Only Foundry and AntPool are ahead of F2Pool with computing powers of 303.84 EH/s and 183 EH/s, respectively.
While F2Pool is for proof-of-work (PoW) blockchains (that is, networks that involve the process of mining for reaching consensus), the Chinese-born investor also eventually founded something for the proof-of-stake (PoS) networks: Stakefish, a non-custodial validator that allows investors to stake across a number of blockchains, including Ethereum.
Back in 2023, Wang proposed the idea of a polar spaceflight to SpaceX, which culminated into Fram2. The mission was privately funded by him, with SpaceX acting as the operator.
Now, it seems the Maltese-citizenship holder has set his eyes on Mars. &#8220;The two-year mission will explore outside the Earth-Moon system before flying-by the Red Planet and returning to Earth,&#8221; noted the announcement.
Mars is still far, though; Wang initially has to embark on the first planned SpaceX commercial human spaceflight around the Moon. For this mission, he will be joining the company of Dennis and Akiko Tito. SpaceX explained:
The week-long circumlunar fly-by mission will help advance Starship’s systems for deep-space, long-duration missions and is planned to fly within 200 km of the Moon’s surface.
Speaking of SpaceX, the company filed its S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this Wednesday ahead of its planned stock market debut on June 12th.
The filing revealed something interesting: the Elon Musk-founded firm held 18,712 Bitcoin as of March 31st. This stack, worth roughly $1.45 billion, is significantly larger than some treasury holdings tracker websites estimated for SpaceX.
The company is also holding a notable gain on these holdings as its cost basis per Bitcoin stands at just $35,320.
Bitcoin Price
Bitcoin has been trading sideways over the last few days as its price is still trading around $77,300.

Despite the size of the theft, multiple security analysts emphasized that user funds and market outcomes were not impacted. 
One expert even argued that the incident could have been significantly worse if additional controls in the compromised contract had been used.
The Polymarket Attack
According to on-chain sleuth ZacXBT’s findings on the matter, he flagged a suspected exploit involving Polymarket’s UMA CTF Adapter contract on Polygon (POL). At the time of reporting, the total figure associated with the exploit had climbed to nearly $700,000. 
The breakdown of how the exploit functioned was later detailed by security expert Ox Abdul. In his explanation, the first key point was that the USDC amount—over $600,000—appeared to be a one-time drain taken from a specific wallet on Polygon, identified as 0x8F98, the UMA CTF Adapter Admin.
Ox Abdul also described how Polymarket’s automation appears to have contributed to the exploit mechanics. He said Polymarket’s top-up system was repeatedly sending 5,000 POL about every 30 seconds to keep an oracle gas wallet funded. 
Rather than stealing once, the attacker waited for each refill and then swept it for roughly 120 cycles over the course of about 70 minutes, which he estimated as around 600,000 POL. 
Importantly, the continued POL losses, in this account, were attributed to how quickly Polymarket’s detection and response happened. The exploit was ultimately stopped after the keys were rotated.
How The Exploit Could Have Been Worse
After draining the refills, Ox Abdul said the exploiter then exited via 16 sub-addresses using ChangeNOW. Even with the damage limited, he warned that the situation had potential red flags beyond the theft itself. 
In his view, the compromised admin wallet was not only holding USDC and POL; it also carried “resolveManually rights” on the UMA Adapter. Those manual resolution permissions, he explained, could bypass the oracle and allow an attacker to force any market outcome on Polymarket.
Ox Abdul laid out what “worse” could have looked like in practical terms. He said the attacker could have taken large positions in specific markets, then flagged those markets for manual resolution, waited out the roughly one-hour safety window, and finally used resolveManually to resolve markets in favor of their positions. 
Following the incident, Josh Stevens, a leading developer at Polymarket, later provided additional context via social media. Stevens attributed the issue to a compromised 6-year-old private key, explaining that it was included in an internal top-up configuration—so funds were being sent to the key while it remained active. 
He added that the key has been rotated, all production permissions have been revoked, and the company is moving all private keys to KMS-managed keys going forward.
Federal Investigation Launched
While the technical incident was unfolding, Polymarket was also dealing with regulatory scrutiny on Friday. As Bitcoinist reported, Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, announced a formal investigation into prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi. 
Comer said the committee is seeking information from the CEOs of both companies regarding their efforts to prevent insider trading on their platforms. 
In his letter, he requested documents and details on how both platforms implement identity verification for domestic and international account holders, enforces geographic restrictions, and detect anomalous trading activity to help prevent insider trading across their global platforms. 
In a separate development, Bloomberg reported that Polymarket has appointed a representative in Japan while preparing to lobby for authorization of prediction markets in the country. According to sources cited in the report, Polymarket’s goal is to obtain government approval in Japan by 2030.

This review has triggered renewed hope about the altcoin’s future performance and potential to reach audacious levels.
XRP Touches The $50 Level  On Gemini
CharuSan, a crypto analyst and engineer, has reignited interest in the famous $50 XRP candle that took place on the Gemini platform years ago. At the moment, the cryptocurrency space was engulfed in heated speculation due to the extraordinary price surge, with some seeing this as an indication of its true potential.
To date, the notorious candle continues to be one of the most enigmatic moments in recent cryptocurrency trading history as interest in historical market anomalies increases. In his post on the social media platform X, the expert has shed light on the truth behind this move in August 2023. 
Given the distance from its value at that time, there were speculations that the move was a glitch or a glimpse into hidden market dynamics. However, CharuSan claims that this was not a glitch; rather, it was a 100% real market event and a perfect example of catastrophic slippage.
When the altcoin was relisted on the American-based cryptocurrency exchange, the liquidity around the order books was flat. After that, a market buy order immediately devoured all available sell orders on the exchange, sweeping the book until it executed a rogue sell order sitting at precisely the $50 zone. An interesting part about this move is that it only took about $37,000 in volume to launch the price of XRP to $50.
The Mathematical Theory Behind The Sudden Move
According to the expert, this event is the absolute mathematical proof of why tier-1 banks are unable to just depend on on-demand sourcing during peak volumes. This implies that these banks must hold XRP in their own isolated liquidity pools. 
If a mere $37,000 can lead to a catastrophic slippage on a thin book, the system would be totally frozen by an institutional cross-border transfer worth billions of dollars. However, this is possible if the liquidity required is not already deeply pooled and locked by the banks themselves.
In order to prevent this exact pattern, financial giants cannot just plug into ODL as passive users. Instead, they require pre-funded, locked capital and dedicated XRP liquidity pools under their own management. At the same time, the Gemini candle proved that without deep, bank-held liquidity pools, managing global institutional volume is mathematically impossible.
CharuSan highlighted that investors cannot carry out massive transfers at low price tags like $20 and $30. His analysis is backed by the fact that these transfers could trigger catastrophic slippage, leaving traders completely unable to control both the market and the transactions. “So, by now you should understand what a massive issue slippage is, and why deep liquidity is mandatory to control it,” the expert concluded. At the time of writing, the XRP price was trading at $1.38.

According to his analysis, this bearish signal has caused BTC’s value to drop by 15% on average. With the pattern now appearing in the current cycle, the analyst suggests that a major price correction could be on the horizon for Bitcoin. 
Analyst Calls For Late-Year Bitcoin Price Bottom
In an X post on May 19, Merlijn the Trader warned investors and traders that a Bitcoin bear crash could be imminent. He pointed to a key chart pattern that has appeared in every midterm year, from as early as 2018 through the current market cycle.
According to the analyst, the pattern follows a distinct cyclical structure, where Bitcoin experiences a significant price decline in Q1 before recovering and rallying in Q2. Once this relief rally ends, a sharp crash occurs, marking a late-year bottom for the flagship cryptocurrency.
The first time this mid-term year pattern was observed was in 2018. At the time, Bitcoin’s price fell by a staggering 25% in January, before rallying by over 33% in Q2 around April. Once this brief recovery faded, the cryptocurrency plummeted again by 19% in May, before forming a final cycle low around December of that year.
The same trend was repeated during the 2022 cycle. Here, Bitcoin’s price fell by 17% in Q1, then staged a more than 5% recovery in March, before recording a 16% decline in April and ultimately forming a cycle bottom in November.
Fast-forward to the current market cycle, Merlijn the Trader believes that Bitcoin’s price action could be mirroring this historical mid-term pattern. He noted that BTC has already experienced a massive 23% price crash in Q1, followed by a relief rally of over 14% from March to April 2026. 
Now, the bullish momentum appears to be fading, with May bringing more volatility and a decline in BTC price. If history plays out as expected, Merlijn the Trader predicts that Bitcoin could form a midterm-year bottom between November and December this year. While he has not set a specific bearish target for his forecast, the analyst remains confident that a price crash could occur soon. 
BTC Forecasted To Crash As Low As $37,000
Other crypto analysts like Chiefy appear to maintain a similar bearish stance on Bitcoin. In a recent X post, the expert also pointed to past trends and chart structures, noting that BTC is repeating a key pattern that has consistently destroyed bullish sentiment across past market cycles.
He described this bearish signal as “the Head &amp; Shoulders breakdown,” noting that the pattern has already been confirmed on the BTC chart. Because of its recent re-emergence, Chiefy believes the market is now entering a retest phase and predicts a potential BTC price crash to $37,000. With Bitcoin currently trading above $77,000, a decline to this level would represent a more than 52% loss in value.

The order directs federal regulators to review whether crypto companies can access the country’s dollar payment system. This move could be a game-changer for XRP, as it would determine how digital asset firms operate in the US and could establish the cryptocurrency as a bridge currency through Ripple.
Trump Orders Review Of US Dollar Payment Rails For Crypto Firms
On May 19, Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to review its regulations and policies. The order looks at whether fintech and crypto firms should have greater access to the country&#8217;s dollar payment infrastructure. According to the official White House website, the heads of each federal financial regulator must review their existing laws and practices within 90 days. Trump has mandated these regulators to find rules that may be blocking fintech and crypto firms from partnering with federally regulated institutions such as banks, credit unions, and investment advisers. Regulators are also expected to sift through policies that make it harder for these firms to get national bank charters, insurance, and other federal authorizations.
Furthermore, Trump has also asked the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) to take a closer look at who can access the government’s payment accounts and services. The US President has given the Fed 120 days to send a full report covering these findings. Within that report, the regulator must also review whether it has the legal authority to give these crypto companies direct access to its payment system and what risks may come with doing so.
Implications Of Trump’s Order On Ripple’s XRP
Trump’s recently signed executive order could be one of the most important developments for Ripple and XRP in recent years. Ripple has long positioned XRP as a tool for fast and low-cost cross-border payments, often targeting banks and financial institutions as its core customers. However, one major barrier hindering Ripple’s growth was limited access to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s payment infrastructure.
Under current Fed rules, direct access to Reserve Bank payment accounts is limited to depository institutions like traditional banks. This has pushed crypto firms, including Kraken, Coinbase, Circle, Anchorage, Paxos, and BitGo, to pursue national trust bank charters just to qualify for this kind of access. Moreover, the regulator only recently approved Kraken’s access to a Fed master account.  
Ripple itself has been working toward a national bank charter to overcome this limitation. The crypto firm was recently granted conditional approval for a national bank charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), expanding its role in the US banking system. Should the Fed open direct access to digital asset firms, it could be a game-changer for XRP. Ripple could potentially connect its core technology straight into the US dollar payment system. 
This direct link could allow XRP to serve as a bridge asset in real-time dollar settlements, driving greater demand for the cryptocurrency. For XRP holders and investors, this shift in policy direction signals that the US may finally be ready to welcome Ripple and the payment infrastructure it has been building for over a decade.

During the ongoing waning price action, one aspect of the market that is drawing significant attention is the activity of Bitcoin Long-Term Holders.
Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Tighten Grip On Circulating Supply
Bitcoin long-term holders or seasoned investors are turning up across the market and are demonstrating bullish activity. Despite the fact that the asset is still trading sideways with little price momentum, these key investors are gradually gaining more control over the circulating supply of BTC.
After a period of accumulation by these investors, On-Chain Mind, a crypto and data analyst, revealed that they now hold over 81% of all BTC supply. Such a development points to growing and robust conviction among seasoned investors in the face of short-term market instability and limited price activity.
This growing conviction is focused on BTC’s future price potential, especially in periods of consolidation when weaker hands start to leave the market. With long-term holders consistently adding more BTC, this move is likely to negate selling pressure in the markets, which could create a positive environment for a leg up.
During the period, BTC held by OGs has gone quiet, revived supply has collapsed, and speculative capital is already near bear market floor territory. Given that these factors are converging, Bitcoin appears to be less like a fresh collapse and more like a market running out of sellers.
Institutions Are Selling Off Their Coins
This growing confidence is not observed among other groups, such as institutional investors. Darkfost, a verified CryptoQuant author, has outlined a sharp rise in selling pressure among these investors as indicated by the Coinbase Premium Index, which continues to drop deeper into negative territory.
His examination is based on an adapted version designed for very short-term analysis using a 1-hour timeframe. Additionally, it is a volume-weighted variant, which helps minimize noise by giving the biggest volumes in the gap calculation more weight.
According to the expert, when this key metric turns negative, it often implies that the price of BTC on Coinbase Advanced is lower than on Binance, the leading trading platform. This pattern suggests that the population of institutional and professional investors trading on Coinbase Advanced is selling more aggressively than investors trading on Binance.
In this case, it provides a useful path to evaluate the behavioral divergence between retail and institutional participants and detect which side is currently driving the market. Right now, institutions seem to be moving toward hedging tactics due to the uncertainty surrounding the current macro environment while they wait for more clarification.
Furthermore, this trend is likely to shift rapidly if conditions around the Strait of Hormuz begin to ease, which is precisely why monitoring short-term behavior remains particularly important in the market.

The analyst alluded to the token’s inflation and how it is currently trading at a high valuation despite supposedly lacking any real utility. 
Analyst Calls Out XRP As Scam Crypto Project
In an X post, Ryker again warned that XRP is the biggest scam he has seen in the crypto market. He described the altcoin that has “absolutely nothing” but just a market cap of around $83 billion and is still subject to inflation. The analyst did not further elaborate on this inflation but suggested it was due to Ripple’s escrow holdings, which are released monthly. 
Ryker further called out the “XRP team,” indicating that they have inflated the token’s price because of their years of experience in the crypto market and connections with large market whales. Specifically, he alleged that a few years ago, the team hired many celebrities and media outlets to promote the token after pumping it from $0.5 to $3. 
The market analyst claimed that this mainly occurred in the South Korean market and that many people have lost money due to XRP. He highlighted the “enormous” trading volume on the South Korean crypto exchange Upbit as evidence of XRP&#8217;s strong presence in the country. Ryker warned that market participants who continue to listen to these celebrities and buy into XRP will, sooner or later, lose everything.  
In line with this, he advised market participants to conduct their own research before buying a crypto asset. It is worth noting that Ryker highlighted XRP’s price action while calling the crypto token a scam. Notably, the token is down over 27% year-to-date (YTD), being outperformed by other altcoins such as HYPE and ZEC. 
XRP Ledger Just Saw One Of Its Largest Growth
On-chain analytics platform Santiment revealed that XRP has seen 4,300 new wallets created in the last 24 hours, representing the 4th-largest spike of the year. The platform&#8217;s network growth is among the leading signals for identifying price reversals, suggesting the token could soon rebound from its current levels. 
It is worth noting that a significant part of the growth has come from the RWA adoption on the XRP Ledger. RWA.xyz data shows that the network has led in net flows over the last 30 days, with a positive flow of $1.3 billion. XRPL is well ahead of the second-placed Avalanche, which has a net flow of $500 million over this period. XRP Ledger validator Vet recently highlighted the network’s growth in the RWA sector, adding that the job is not finished and that the next focus should be distribution.

Speaking on Portfolio Players by Front Office Sports, released on May 21, 2026, the billionaire investor said it had “lost the plot” after underperforming gold in the conditions he believed should have favored it.
Why Mark Cuban Sold Most Of His Bitcoin
“This might get some people upset,” Cuban said. “I think Bitcoin has lost the plot.”
Cuban said his original thesis for buying BTC was tied to its role as an alternative to fiat currency debasement. He said he saw BTC as “a better version of gold than gold,” particularly in moments when confidence in traditional currencies came under pressure. But he said that view changed after it failed to rally during a period he described as marked by the “Iran war” and broader stress in fiat markets.
“When all the shit hit the fan with the Iran war,” Cuban said, “Bitcoin was always the best alternative to fiat currency losing its value.”
According to Cuban, that expectation was not met. He contrasted BTCs performance with gold, which he said “blew up” and moved to $5,000, while Bitcoin fell. For Cuban, the issue was not simply that BTC traded lower, but that it failed in the specific macro environment in which he believed it should have shown strength.
“Every time the dollar dropped, Bitcoin should have gone up,” Cuban said, arguing that a weaker dollar should have made the asset more attractive globally because Bitcoin is priced in dollars. “And it just didn’t do that.”

The comments cut directly into one of BTC’s most persistent investment narratives: its role as a hedge against fiat weakness and monetary instability. Cuban’s criticism is not framed around network security, adoption, or long-term scarcity. It is focused on market behavior. In his view, Bitcoin failed to respond like a macro hedge when the setup appeared to demand it.
Asked whether Bitcoin was “not such a hedge,” Cuban agreed. “No, it’s not the hedge that I expected it to be,” he said. “And that was really disappointing.”
Cuban’s remarks also draw a distinction between BTC and ETH. While he said he was “more disappointed in Bitcoin,” he added that he was “not as disappointed in Ethereum.” He did not expand on the Ethereum comparison in the excerpt, but the contrast suggests his disappointment is concentrated on BTC’s failure to deliver against its hedge narrative rather than a blanket rejection of the entire crypto sector.
His comments were harsher toward other parts of the market. Referring to “the token stuff” and meme coins, Cuban dismissed them as “garbage,” placing speculative tokens outside the part of the market he still appears willing to treat seriously.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,257.

Comer, who announced the investigation on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box, sent formal letters to the leadership of both platforms seeking information on how they verify user identities, enforce bans on users from restricted jurisdictions, and identify unusual trading patterns that could indicate exploitation of non-public information, per CNBC&#8217;s reporting. The inquiry marks a significant escalation of congressional scrutiny that has been building across both parties for months.
The Evidence That Triggered The Probe
The specific trading patterns that prompted the investigation are difficult to dismiss as coincidence. A US special forces soldier was arrested for placing insider trades on Polymarket tied to the US military incursion into Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro — bets placed hours before the operation became public knowledge, per The Hill&#8217;s reporting.
A separate trader accumulated nearly $1 million with a 93% success rate on wagers predicting unannounced US and Israeli operations against Iran, placing bets hours before strikes in October 2024, June 2025, and February 2026, according to a CNN report cited by Democratic lawmakers in a letter to Comer.
The February 28 incident is the most striking data point. A group of 38 accounts collectively netted more than $2 million on bets tied to that day&#8217;s Iran strikes — with the accounts preloaded with funds the preceding week, per the Democratic lawmakers&#8217; letter. On April 7, at least 50 newly created accounts placed coordinated bets on a US-Iran ceasefire, some opened minutes before the announcement, per the same letter.
Polymarket separately reported suspicious activity across nearly 50 accounts in advance of the US-Iran ceasefire talks, per casino.org&#8217;s reporting of the congressional correspondence.
Both Platforms Push Back
Kalshi responded through its head of communications, Elisabeth Diana, who said the company looks forward to engaging with the committee and described its protections against insider trading as comprehensive, per CNBC. Polymarket did not immediately respond to a request for comment at the time of publication.
Both platforms announced updated rules and surveillance tools in March 2026, restricting politicians from trading on their own campaigns and barring athletes from sports-related contracts — moves that preceded but did not prevent the current congressional escalation.
The investigation lands at a moment of peak political sensitivity for prediction markets. Combined trading volumes on Kalshi and Polymarket reached tens of billions of dollars in March 2026 alone, per TipRanks. Both platforms count Donald Trump Jr. as an advisor. And both spent a combined nearly $1 million on federal lobbying in 2025, per CNBC — a Washington presence that may now complicate rather than protect their regulatory standing.
This development marks a pivotal and potentially consequential moment for the nascent prediction market sector. A formal congressional investigation with documented evidence of military-linked insider trading is a categorically different threat than a regulatory inquiry — and the outcome could reshape how these platforms operate, who can participate, and whether the CFTC&#8217;s current oversight framework survives intact.

The crypto exchange and wallet platform quietly filed confidential documents with US regulators for an initial public offering, joining a growing list of digital asset firms pushing toward public markets.
A Window Opens For Crypto Listings
The filing, reported by Reuters, comes as conditions for going public have begun to improve in the US.
Crypto markets took a beating last year, with a massive selloff wiping out billions in digital asset values and cooling investor appetite for new deals. That downturn pushed several companies to shelve or delay their expansion plans.

Recent policy shifts in Washington appear to be changing the calculus. A bill known as the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish clearer regulations for cryptocurrencies, cleared a Senate committee.
Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty and others in the industry have welcomed the development as a positive sign for the long-term direction of crypto oversight.
Others Are Already In Line
Blockchain.com is not alone in eyeing the public markets. Crypto exchange Kraken filed confidentially for its own IPO in New York, and Grayscale Investments made a similar confidential announcement around the same time.
Neither company has completed its listing yet. SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, also filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
A confidential filing gives companies a way to begin the process without immediately disclosing financial details to the public. It allows firms to hold early conversations with regulators and gauge investor interest before committing to a full public announcement.
Founded In A Different Era
Blockchain.com was founded in 2011 by Ben Reeves, Peter Smith, and Nic Cary. The company serves users in more than 100 countries and operates as both a trading exchange and a crypto wallet platform.
Bitcoin has shown some recovery in recent months, gaining roughly 20% over the past three months, though the price remains below where it started the year.
The question remains whether the wider market can hold steady long enough for Blockchain.com and others to complete their IPOs.

The Fellowship PAC, an $11 million fund supported by Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital, disclosed to the Federal Election Commission that it plans to spend $500,000 backing the Texas attorney general in his bid for a US Senate seat.
A Bipartisan Push
The spending on Paxton is separate from another crypto-aligned group making noise this week. The Blockchain Leadership Fund, backed by Chainlink Labs and Anchorage Digital, announced its endorsement of 10 candidates across seven states for the 2026 midterm elections — four running for US Senate and six for the House of Representatives.
The list crosses party lines. Republicans Barry Moore, Kurt Alme, and Jon Husted are among those picked for Senate races in Alabama, Montana, and Ohio. Democrat Angie Craig is backed for the Minnesota Senate race, while Adrian Boafo, Christian Menefee, and Don Davis received endorsements for House runs in Maryland, Texas, and North Carolina.
Anchorage Digital said bipartisan engagement is central to its approach. &#8220;We remain committed to supporting responsible innovation and constructive policymaking that brings digital assets further into the regulatory perimeter and strengthens trust in the ecosystem,&#8221; a spokesperson said.
Small Fund, Big Company
Despite backing from two prominent crypto firms, the Blockchain Leadership Fund has raised relatively little so far. FEC filings show $175,000 in total contributions — $100,000 from Anchorage and $75,000 from Chainlink.
That figure stands in sharp contrast to Fairshake, a separate crypto PAC whose affiliates have already spent millions in some of the same races.
The Defend American Jobs PAC, a Fairshake affiliate, dropped a combined $8.5 million on media for some of the same candidates the Blockchain Leadership Fund is now endorsing.
Another affiliate, Protect Progress, spent more than $4.1 million backing Menefee in Texas and over $2 million supporting Boafo in Maryland.
The Blockchain Leadership Fund said it may endorse additional candidates before November who support responsible digital asset policy.
Texas Takes Center Stage
The Texas Senate race is drawing the most attention — and the most money. US President Donald Trump announced his support for Paxton over incumbent Republican John Cornyn, and crypto money followed.
The Fellowship PAC&#8217;s $500,000 commitment to Paxton came after a reported earlier withdrawal of support, which had been linked to pressure connected to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Paxton and Cornyn are heading into a Republican primary runoff. On the Democratic side, State Representative James Talarico, who won his primary in March, will face whichever Republican emerges from that contest.

Binance CEO Richard Teng rejected the report hours later, calling it fundamentally inaccurate and accusing the publication of withholding material facts.
The WSJ report, citing an internal Binance compliance document, alleged the network was operated by Iranian businessman Babak Zanjani — who has described himself as an &#8220;antisanction operator&#8221; — and processed approximately $850 million in transactions over roughly two years through a single account on the platform. The activity allegedly continued through December 2025, a period during which US-Iran tensions were escalating sharply following military strikes.
Teng&#8217;s Point-By-Point Response
Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, responded directly on X within hours of the report&#8217;s publication. His statement, posted to his official account (@_RichardTeng), addressed three specific claims. First, he stated that Binance did not permit any transactions with sanctioned individuals on its platform, and that the transactions referenced by the WSJ occurred before the individuals involved were formally sanctioned.
Second, he stated that Binance proactively investigated the issues in question before the WSJ made contact — and that this material fact was provided to the newspaper but not published. Third, he reiterated that Binance maintains a zero-tolerance policy for illicit activity and operates what he described as a best-in-class, industry-leading compliance program, adding that the exchange continues to work closely with US and global law enforcement to combat financial crime.
A Dispute That Has Become A Legal Battle
The May 22 report is not the first clash between Binance and the Wall Street Journal on this subject. In February 2026, the Journal published a separate report on alleged $1 billion in Iran-linked crypto transfers, which Teng publicly described at the time as false and defamatory. Binance filed a lawsuit against Dow Jones, the Journal&#8217;s publisher, on March 11, per multiple reports — escalating what had been a public dispute into formal litigation.
Binance has pointed to its own compliance metrics as evidence of material progress since its landmark 2023 guilty plea to US anti-money laundering and sanctions violations, which resulted in a $4.3 billion settlement with the Department of Justice and the appointment of an independent compliance monitor.
The exchange has stated that sanctions-related exposure as a share of total volume fell 96.8% between January 2024 and July 2025, and that direct exposure to four major Iranian crypto exchanges declined 97.3% over the same period, per earlier reporting. The exchange also processed more than 71,000 law enforcement requests in 2025.
The US Senate&#8217;s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations separately sent a formal letter to Teng in February 2026 demanding records related to Binance&#8217;s role in alleged Iranian money laundering — citing the earlier WSJ and New York Times reporting — a demand that signals congressional scrutiny has not receded alongside the exchange&#8217;s compliance improvements.
This development marks a critical and uncomfortable moment for Binance as it works to rebuild institutional credibility following its 2023 settlement. Whether the WSJ&#8217;s latest allegations translate into fresh regulatory action, expanded DOJ scrutiny, or accelerated congressional investigation will depend heavily on the underlying facts that neither side has yet fully disclosed in a public forum — and a legal battle that is only just beginning.

The move puts XRPL behind Canton, Ethereum and Provenance by total distributed RWA value, while placing it ahead of BNB Chain, zkSync Era, Solana, Stellar and Avalanche.
XRP Ledger Jumps To No. 4 In RWA Rankings
RippleX framed the milestone as one of the faster growth stories in tokenized assets. “In less than a year, XRP Ledger has climbed from the top 10 to #4 on the @RWA_xyz league table, making it one of the fastest-growing RWA ecosystems in the space,” the team wrote on X.
“Today, XRPL is home to a growing range of tokenized financial assets onchain, from US Treasuries and money market funds to commercial paper, structured credit, and more. Bringing assets onchain is an important milestone. Expanding what those assets can enable across financial markets is part of the broader opportunity ahead, and one the XRP community is building toward together,” Ripple added.
The RWA.xyz data places XRP Ledger at $4.1 billion in total distributed RWA value, with 302 listed RWAs and a 1.09% market share. The network’s 30-day growth rate stands out sharply among the top ten, rising 45.97% over the period. That compares with declines of 4.92% for Canton, 4.37% for Ethereum and 4.36% for BNB Chain, while Provenance rose 6.37%, Solana climbed 8.24%, Stellar gained 11.33% and Avalanche increased 39.29%.
Canton remains the dominant network in the table by a wide margin, with $313.6 billion in total value and an 83.73% market share. Ethereum ranks second with $19.0 billion and a 5.08% share, followed by Provenance with $18.0 billion and 4.80%. XRP Ledger’s fourth-place position therefore does not yet imply parity with the largest RWA networks by value, but it does show that XRPL has become a visible venue in an increasingly competitive institutional tokenization market.
The broader market data from RWA.xyz shows the sector continuing to expand unevenly. Distributed asset value stood at $33.87 billion, up 1.77% over 30 days, while represented asset value was listed at $340.04 billion, down 2.98% over the same period. Total asset holders reached 800,067, up 8.04% from 30 days earlier. Stablecoin figures were substantially larger, with total stablecoin value at $305.08 billion and total stablecoin holders at 256.21 million.
The composition of distributed RWA values also shows where tokenization activity is currently concentrated. US Treasury debt accounted for $15.3 billion, the largest category shown, followed by commodities at $7.1 billion. Asset-backed credit stood at $2.2 billion, specialty finance at $1.7 billion, stocks at $1.5 billion, non-US government debt at $1.4 billion and active strategies at $1.4 billion.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.3596.

Hayes said Armstrong is acting in the best interest of his shareholders — not the wider crypto community.
Hayes Flags Growing Crypto Divide Amid CLARITY Act Debate
Hayes made the remarks on The Wolf Of All Streets, where he spoke at length about the proposed CLARITY Act and what he sees as a growing disconnect between large crypto companies and everyday users.
He questioned whether big corporate players truly look out for retail investors or open-source developers, suggesting their priorities lie elsewhere.
Hayes drew a sharp line between institutional interest in crypto and what he believes Bitcoin was built for. Banks, he said, are moving into the space because their clients want protection against inflation and the erosion of fiat currency — not because they believe in what crypto stands for.
Arthur Hayes: Trump Should Veto the CLARITY Act

— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) May 20, 2026
Bitcoin&#8217;s track record during periods of heavy money printing is what draws institutional money in, according to Hayes, but that interest comes with strings attached.
When Regulation Becomes The Problem
Hayes wants US President Donald Trump to veto the CLARITY Act if it reaches his desk. His argument is straightforward: regulation was never the thing keeping crypto alive, and it should not be treated as a lifeline now.
Turning Bitcoin into a product managed by traditional financial institutions — wrapped in derivatives and held on bank balance sheets — strips it of the very thing that makes it different, Hayes said.
He challenged the idea that crypto needs a seat at the traditional finance table. If the end result is just another financial instrument sitting inside the existing system, Hayes argued, then nothing has really changed. The crypto industry already has that in other forms.
A Divided Industry
The debate over the CLARITY Act reflects a split that has been building inside the crypto world for some time. Those in favor of the legislation believe clear rules would bring credibility and attract more institutional money into digital assets.
Hayes sits firmly on the other side, warning that too much integration with mainstream finance could hollow out what makes decentralized systems worth building in the first place.
No veto has been issued. The CLARITY Act continues to move through the legislative process, and the industry remains divided on which path leads to a stronger future for crypto.

US Commerce Department To Give $2 Billion To Quantum Computing Firms
As reported by CNBC, the US government is set to award grants to nine companies operating in the Quantum Computing sector. The deals, which were first reported by the Wall Street Journal, involve a sum of $2 billion handed to these firms in exchange for equity stakes for the government.
Quantum Computing is an upcoming class of computers that will be based on Quantum Physics principles and is theorized to be strong enough to solve problems too difficult for classical computers of today.
Currently, there are many firms part of the Quantum Computing race, a prominent name among which is IBM. The company is one of the oldest and largest technology companies, and its 1981 IBM Personal Computer was so influential that its architecture still makes the basis of most personal computers today.
These days, IBM is known for its computer research and supercomputers, which rank among the most powerful in the world. With the firm also setting its eyes on Quantum Computing, the US government is reportedly allocating the largest share of the grants to it: about $1 billion.
Another major beneficiary of the deal is GlobalFoundaries, a company known for its cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing capabilities. WSJ reported a grant value of $375 million for the company. Among the remaining seven firms are D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, and Infleqtion.
As mentioned before, Quantum Computing may be able to solve problems today&#8217;s computers can&#8217;t handle. This can include certain cryptographic systems, like blockchain-based cryptocurrencies. As such, the technology is often cited as a threat in the context of Bitcoin.
The US government also announced a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve last year, aiming to use the tokens confiscated by the government to create a treasury reserve for the nation. Work on the reserve stalled a bit, but things seem to have picked back up as Representative Nick Begich has introduced the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) in Congress, which could formally establish the reserve.
Begich noted in an X post:
The American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) ensures digital assets in the possession of the federal government will be consolidated across government and protected as a reserve asset for future generations, protecting these assets from the whims of Congress or future administrations.
While the US government may be headed toward a Bitcoin reserve, it&#8217;s currently unknown whether it will ever actually buy new tokens. In contrast, the nation is already investing in Quantum Computing, which could potentially end up acting as an adversary to the cryptocurrency.
Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards commented on the development in an X post. &#8220;The US government has never bought Bitcoin, but it is buying quantum stocks,&#8221; said Edwards. &#8220;Strong message.&#8221;
Bitcoin Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $77,700, down 4.6% in the last seven days.

The legislation would set up a “secure” Strategic Bitcoin Reserve inside the US Department of the Treasury. In addition to Bitcoin, it calls for a separate Digital Asset Stockpile that would hold federally managed non-Bitcoin digital assets. 
20-Year Strategic Bitcoin Lockup
According to the bill’s official description, the measure is designed to bring custody and management of digital assets held across federal agencies under the Treasury’s oversight. 
The aim, the release says, is to improve secure stewardship, boost transparency, and provide consistent supervision of taxpayer-owned assets that were acquired through forfeitures, penalties, and other lawful government proceedings.
The bill would require that BTC stored in the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve be held for at least 20 years. The proposed framework also includes an explicit protections section intended to address digital property rights. 
The act further directs a study focused on budget-neutral acquisition methods. The goal of that study is to identify lawful ways to expand strategic reserves without raising taxes, increasing deficit spending, or adding to the national debt.
The Republican positioned the bill as both a modernization and a safeguard for public interests. In his remarks, he said the American Reserve Modernization Act would allow the United States to lead in the digital economy while protecting taxpayer concerns. 
Crypto Policy Momentum
Burgess Owens, another Republican lawmaker, echoed the urgency behind the proposal. He criticized the idea that Washington can continue to dismiss Bitcoin as if it were temporary. 
Owens argued that Americans are already using digital assets, global markets are adapting, and adversaries are moving as well. In his view, the American Reserve Modernization Act would ensure the US responds from a position of strength, with leadership and long-term planning.
The bill arrives after a related and significant development for this idea last year. In March 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, but that effort is not yet fully operational. 
On the legislative track, the American Reserve Modernization Act is being discussed alongside a broader US crypto policy movement. The Senate Banking Committee has already passed the CLARITY Act with bipartisan support to send the bill to the Senate floor. 
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at around $77,738, having recorded losses of 5% over the past week. This leaves the market&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency 38% below the all-time high of $126,000, which was reached during last year&#8217;s bull run.

A New Way To Hide Old Money
Italy&#8217;s Economic and Financial Police Unit in Foggia uncovered a scheme in which a suspect allegedly used the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol and the BRC-20 token standard to generate and conceal roughly 1 million euros, or about $1.1 million, in undeclared capital gains.
According to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, the suspect created tokens using those tools, listed them on marketplaces, sold them for far more than they originally cost, and funneled the profits back into a primary Bitcoin wallet.
The cycle repeated — earnings went straight into new inscriptions, keeping the money moving and off tax records.
Introduced in 2023, the Ordinals protocol works by assigning a serial number to a satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, and embedding data such as images or text into a Bitcoin transaction. The BRC-20 standard builds on that by letting users deploy, mint, and transfer tokens directly on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Tax Authorities Playing Catch-Up
Tax evasion through crypto is not new. What is changing is how creative the methods are getting. Chainalysis said bad actors are increasingly turning to NFTs, decentralized finance protocols, and emerging token standards in hopes of keeping wealth hidden from authorities. The firm published its findings Wednesday.
Compliance data suggests the problem runs deep. A study released in March found that only 32% to 56% of US crypto owners report their gains to tax authorities. In Norway, that figure dropped to just 12%, based on research published in August 2024.
Meanwhile, the US Internal Revenue Service puts the country&#8217;s gross tax gap — the total taxes legally owed but not collected — at around $606 billion.
A Trail That Never Disappears
Despite the technical creativity behind schemes like the one in Italy, Chainalysis said there is a built-in weakness in using crypto to hide money. The blockchain keeps a permanent record of every transaction, and that record cannot be changed or deleted.
The Fatal Flaw Of Crypto Fraud
Blockchain intelligence tools are capable of rebuilding a complete financial network and comparing it with information crypto exchanges are required to disclose, making it possible to trace transactions back to suspected tax cheats. Officials said the Italian case shows that technical novelty does not equal anonymity.
As new types of digital assets continue to appear and generate income, analysts say the gap between actual on-chain wealth and what people declare on their taxes will draw more attention from investigators around the world.

Coinbase Is Using AI In High-Stakes Compliance Workflows
In an X post, Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong has talked about how the company has seen &#8220;great results&#8221; from using AI for updating how it handles compliance.
For a cryptocurrency exchange, compliance can naturally be a high-stakes area and involve complicated procedures. Last week, Coinbase&#8217;s Dor Levi discussed this topic. &#8220;We&#8217;ve put a lot of time into redefining compliance, where the stakes are incredibly high, and we have to be extremely thoughtful about implementation,&#8221; noted the platform&#8217;s VP of product.
Levi pointed out that most people assume that compliance is just the simple part of checking names against a sanctions list, but it actually happens to only be a small segment of the story; the rest of the process involves interpretive judgment under uncertainty.
The Coinbase VP argued that while simply using AI to follow the existing procedures produces faster results, it misses out on the larger opportunity that the technology provides. &#8220;Done carefully, with proper controls and human review, models can explore more context, test more hypotheses, and surface more inconsistencies than any single analyst could reasonably do case by case,&#8221; said Levi.
Now, Armstrong has checked back in with positive results related to the integration of AI into the platform. According to the CEO, Coinbase has rebuilt essentially every workflow and found huge efficiency unlocks. A metric cited by Armstrong is the restriction resolution time, which has observed a 90% improvement.
The Coinbase co-founder explained:
Humans still validate every outcome to maintain security and optimize models, but AI does most of the heavy lifting on repetitive work, freeing up human time for higher level decisions.
Though while Armstrong insists on humans being involved, Coinbase&#8217;s move toward AI has come with a significant reduction in the platform&#8217;s headcount. As reported by Bitcoinist, the American cryptocurrency exchange announced the layoff of roughly 700 workers earlier this month, equivalent to 14% of its global staff count.
Armstrong gave two reasons behind the layoffs: the slowdown in the digital asset market and the integration of AI into the platform. Coinbase is expected to largely complete its layoffs by the end of the second quarter of 2026.
Coinbase currently ranks as the second largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world in terms of spot trading volume, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
From the table, it&#8217;s visible that with its $1.5 billion in 24-hour spot volume, Coinbase is still significantly behind Binance, which has seen a volume of nearly $8.4 billion inside the same window.
Bitcoin Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $77,200, down 2.8% over the past week.

However, among these three leading cryptocurrencies, XRP stands above with the highest growth rate. The cryptocurrency has surpassed ETH and SOL’s RWA expansion by a wide margin, solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing chains in the tokenization asset space. 
XRP Beats Solana And Ethereum In RWA Growth
XRP has overtaken Solana and Ethereum to record the fastest RWA growth in the last 30 days. According to data from RWA.xyz, XRP Ledger’s (XRPL) total RWA value grew by approximately 55.4%, soaring to $3.9 billion after about $1.4 billion was added within that single period. As of this writing, the latest data show that the RWA value is up 57.03%. 
This level of growth is striking because not only did XRP surpass two of the top altcoins, but it also outstripped Canton, a privacy-labeled L1 blockchain network that holds the number one position in global RWA tokenization rankings.
While XRP recorded a 55.4% increase, Ethereum and Canton actually declined by 7.4% to $18.9 billion and 4.8% to $313.7 billion, respectively, in that same period. On the other hand, Solana’s RWA growth rate increased by 13.5%, reaching $2.8 billion. 
A significant portion of the growth in the XRP Ledger was reportedly driven by a single commodity product, the Justoken Megawatt Hour (JMWH), launched by the blockchain infrastructure firm Justoken. The product is issued exclusively on XRPL and currently accounts for roughly half of the network’s total RWA value. 
Within a single day, JMWH’s value had spiked by nearly $900 million, rising from $861 million to $1.76 billion, serving as the primary catalyst behind XRP’s record-breaking RWA growth. At the time of writing, the XRP Ledger has exceeded the $4 billion RWA growth milestone, surpassing BNB Chain (BNB), which currently has a total RWA tokenization value of $3.6 billion. 
XRP Jumps From 8th To 5th In RWA Rankings Globally
About 30 days ago, the XRP Ledger held approximately $2.51 billion in total tokenized real-world assets, making it the eighth-largest chain by RWA value. At the time, the blockchain network had been ranked below ZKSync Era and Solana, with the former growing by about 5.45% to $3.2 billion while XRP skyrocketed by over 57%.
Since then, XRPL has witnessed a massive expansion, ranking fifth globally in total tokenized asset value. The latest figures now place the blockchain network ahead of ZKSync Era, Solana, Stella, and Avalanche in the rankings. Meanwhile, Ethereum still holds the position as the second-largest RWA tokenization network. 
Beyond raw asset value, on-chain activity shows that RWA 30-day transfer volume on the XRP Ledger has risen to $145.1 million, up over 50% from the previous period. Moreover, the most recent data shows that XRPL has also recorded a 120.9% surge in distributed RWA over the last 30 days. Meanwhile, the number of RWA holders on the ledger grew by 151.72% over the past month, bringing the network to roughly 302 distinct RWA products.

During this highly negative period, the leading altcoin has made a crucial move by confirming a bearish breakdown, which could impact its near-term outlook.
Sellers Now Dominating The Ethereum Market
Ethereum, the second-largest digital asset, is showing signs of mounting weakness following the drawdown across the broader cryptocurrency market. With volatility consistently trapping the market, ETH has now made a bearish breakdown.
CryptoQuant’s author and data expert PelinayPA reported this development, which appears to be shifting market control firmly toward sellers. The decline in momentum has become more concerning due to the move below important support levels, and traders are increasingly preparing for additional downward pressure.
From a technical standpoint, the market structure seems to be deteriorating when looking at Ethereum&#8217;s price movement in conjunction with Binance&#8217;s long and short liquidation data. Looking at the chart, ETH has made a downside breakout from a triangle formation, a move that is signaling a shift in consolidation in favor of sellers.
A collapse below the triangle&#8217;s lower limit is insufficient to definitively indicate a bearish scenario, but the moving averages have also begun to slope downward. This development is providing confirmation of downside momentum. 
Furthermore, the short-term moving average remaining below the long-term average points to continued weakness in momentum, causing relief rallies to face selling pressure. Pelinay highlighted that the downward turn in the blue moving average indicates a decline in the overall trend structure.
Besides this bearish breakdown, another critical factor spotted on the chart is the Binance liquidation data. Since a significant portion of global Ethereum derivatives volume flows through Binance, liquidation clusters formed on the platform are important for overall market direction. 
Leverage Long Positions Are Being Taken Out Gradually
Typically, sharp liquidations coinciding with price weakness are a sign that leverage long positions are being flushed out, and the market is undergoing a downside reset. These periods are mostly characterized by aggressive position unwinding by institutional and large-scale market participants.
Pelinay added that the market’s inability to produce a strong recovery after recent liquidation spikes also reflects continued weakness in price structure. From a technical view, the likelihood of a deeper pullback down the chart&#8217;s lower support zone is still present, but the downside breakout is still valid for the time being.
Thus, if Ethereum fails to reclaim the broken triangle structure, selling pressure could intensify, and the price may target the $1,350 support level. At this point, Ethereum whales are beginning to exit the market. Ali Charts highlighted that approximately 60 whale wallet addresses holding at least 10,000 ETH have completely emptied or consolidated their balances over the past 2 months.
When distinct entities with multi-million-dollar positions exit the network within such a short window, it often signals institutional profit-taking and asset reallocation. These large investors are currently taking advantage of recent liquidity to de-risk, which reflects a distinct lack of mid-term confidence.
This reduction in whale counts matches the recent heavy inflows into crypto exchanges. According to the data, the path of least resistance will continue to decline in the near future, with Ali focusing on the $2,000 floor with extreme caution.

According to the analyst, if this theory holds, this cycle could see the BTC price crash to new lows before initiating an upside recovery. While the chart structure mirrors this past trend, the crypto expert remains skeptical about its validity, especially given how strained the current market has become. 
Bitcoin Fakeout Theory Signals Major Correction
A pseudonymous crypto analyst known as Bee on X has presented a compelling Bitcoin price analysis, predicting the leading cryptocurrency’s next moves based on historical trends. Looking at his accompanying chart video, the analyst showed that BTC price action from its 2017 cycle, where it formed a peak, tracks to its current levels in 2026, alongside a projected path to a new high.
According to the analyst, Bitcoin is currently playing out a fakeout theory that has repeated twice in the past. The first time this happened was in 2017, when the flagship cryptocurrency formed an all-time high above $20,000. Bee noted that this peak eventually flipped into support for the Bitcoin price after the cryptocurrency propelled to its next top in 2021. The process where a cycle peak becomes a critical support level is what the analyst described as the “fakeout theory.”
Notably, during the 2021 bull cycle, Bitcoin formed another top above $68,000, as seen on the analyst’s chart. A fakeout occurred right after, with the price plummeting below $20,000 once this top was reached. After the decline, the market flipped from bearish to bullish as BTC rallied again, reaching another ATH.
In the current cycle, Bitcoin reached a new cycle peak around October 2025, with its price soaring above $126,000. Following this top, a fakeout occurred once the BTC price crashed below $70,000 in early 2026. Now the analyst is predicting another crash to a final bottom. 
He believes that the market could dip into the $60,000 to $65,000 region first if the fakeout theory holds. After this initial correction, he expects Bitcoin to decline even further toward the $52,000 to $47,000 range, where it may find a final cycle bottom. Notably, the analyst acknowledged that while the historical fakeout theory is compelling, he does not believe that it will survive in the current cycle.
Analyst Projects BTC’s Next Move Above $100,000
Looking at the trajectory of the arrow on the chart, Bee believes Bitcoin is setting up for a major price breakout once it forms a cycle bottom. After hitting the projected downside target around $50,000, the chart points to an upper target near $110,000. 
This suggests that once the market fully resets, Bitcoin could enter a fresh bull market and potentially reclaim territory above $100,000. From the projected bottom price, that move would represent a more than 120% gain. Meanwhile, measured from BTC’s current price above $77,800, a run to $110,000 would signal a rally of more than 41%.

Zacks Investment Research</dc:text></item><item><title>Why Is The Bitcoin Price Dumping Despite The Rise In Positive Sentiment?</title><description><![CDATA[The current Bitcoin price weakness has triggered confusion across the crypto market after a prominent analyst on X pointed to massive BTC outflows from major trading and custodial platforms. The claims surfaced at a time when overall market sentiment is still leaning bullish, creating a sharp disconnect between optimism and price action.
Bitcoin Price Faces Heavy Selling Pressure
The disconnect became more noticeable after the analyst shared data showing large Bitcoin outflows tied to several major crypto firms and exchange-linked wallets. The transactions involved Coinbase Prime wallets, Binance addresses, Wintermute wallets, OKX deposits, and Bybit-associated flows.
According to the analyst, the combined Bitcoin movements crossed hundreds of millions of dollars within a short period, reflecting what appeared to be aggressive selling activity from large market participants while the Bitcoin price was already under pressure.
The claims quickly gained traction because the transactions appeared to involve institutional-grade infrastructure. Coinbase Prime is commonly associated with institutional custody and trading services, while Wintermute is widely recognized as one of the crypto industry’s largest market makers. Binance and OKX wallet activity also fueled speculation that deeper liquidity players may have been repositioning during the downturn.
Although wallet transfers alone do not conclusively prove coordinated selling, traders often interpret large exchange-linked flows as a sign that major holders could be preparing to distribute assets into the market. That perception can rapidly increase volatility when the Bitcoin price is already struggling to maintain momentum.
Positive Sentiment Failed To Support Bitcoin
Persistent selling pressure, highlighted in another chart previously shared by the same analyst, revealed the Bitcoin price breaking below an ascending support trendline that had reportedly held since 2014. According to the analysis, this long-standing structure had withstood major downturns in 2018 and 2022 before finally giving way during the latest decline. The breakdown is being interpreted as a potential signal of a deeper capitulation phase, where confidence tends to deteriorate rapidly after key support levels fail.
What makes this whole setup confusing is the fact that broader market sentiment had not fully shifted into bearish territory at the time. Many investors were still positioned for further upside following the Bitcoin price move to a new all-time high earlier in 2025.
Evidence of this lingering optimism was also reflected in Bitcoin’s current market performance during the dump. Even though it has seen a 2.7% and 4.4% decline over the past 7 days and 14 days respectively, Bitcoin has recorded a positive 24-hour gain. It also remained in the green across both 30-day and 60-day timeframes, suggesting that many traders still view the broader trend as bullish despite short-term weakness.
This relatively stable positioning near historically elevated price levels likely helped delay widespread panic. Instead of immediate fear-driven selling, a significant portion of market participants initially treated the decline as a temporary correction within a larger uptrend.
Overall, the combination of heavy wallet activity and weakening technical structure helps explain why Bitcoin continued to slide even in the presence of long-term optimism and price strength near multi-month highs.

Along with downside performance, several key metrics are starting to exhibit negative activity, strengthening the bearish state. However, some analysts believe that this period could offer an ideal entry point for investors and traders.
New Bitcoin Buying Opportunities Emerge After MVRV Shift
Given the bearish market environment, the Bitcoin price has failed to recover from its recent pullback. However, this weakening moment has been highlighted by some crypto analysts as a bullish angle for investors to step into the market again.
Ali Charts, a market expert and investor, in a recent analysis, shared that fresh opportunities may be emerging in the BTC market again. This is due to the Bitcoin Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio dropping below a key historical level closely watched by traders.
It is worth noting that the MVRV metric is frequently used to determine whether BTC is overpriced or undervalued in relation to investor cost basis. It does this by comparing the asset&#8217;s market value to its realized value. The expert’s perspective is quite valid since declines into lower MVRV zones have historically been associated with times when possibilities for long-term accumulation start to emerge.
Currently, the MVRV ratio has fallen below the 180-day Moving Average (MA), which implies that the market is effectively flushing out premium and pricing in a deep discount. Historically, these specific periods mark the exact foundation on which smart money tends to build its positions.
According to Ali Charts, the short-term trend will remain compressed as long as the ratio consolidates under the 180-day MA line. Such a scenario is likely to offer a highly strategic accumulation window as the asset prepares to enter another attractive positioning phase for investors.
How The $77,800 Level Plays A Key Role In Upcoming Price Action
While Bitcoin may look primed for a leg up, its next price trajectory hinges heavily on the $77,800 price level, which Ali Charts has specially called out. Currently, BTC is trading around this pivotal level, making the upcoming sessions crucial to monitor.
After persistent sideways price action, a well-defined channel has been formed on the 15-minute time frame chart. With its brief bounce on Wednesday, BTC has surged to the upper boundary of the key channel located around the $77,800 level.
Ali Charts argues that a clean breakout above the $77,800 ceiling will be significant because it will pave the way for the asset to accelerate toward $79,000. However, if the resistance holds, the analyst expects a healthy retracement back into the channel, with the purpose of grabbing liquidity. 
In the event of a rebound after the pullback, the key internal floors to watch are the mid-range at $76,900 and the bottom of the channel at $76,000. As a result, Ali Charts remains waiting for the market to prove its strength by making a definitive candle close above the $77,800 before positioning for the next leg up.

Jane Street Used Terraform Group Chat For ‘Defi Info’
In an amended complaint filed earlier this week, Terraform Labs administrator Todd Snyder accused Jane Street, its co-founder Robert Granieri, and traders Bryce Pratt and Michael Huang of using a Telegram group and other backchannel sources of non-public information to “front-run trading that hastened the collapse” of the company.
In February, Snyder sued Jane Street, Granieri, Pratt, and Huang in Manhattan federal court, accusing them of “misappropriating confidential information and manipulating market prices.”
The court document claimed that Jane Street traders created a secret group chat to obtain insider information. The private group, called “Bryce’s Secret,” was seemingly named after Pratt, a former Terraform intern who had started working at Jane Street.
According to the document, the channel was created on February 22, 2022, and included Pratt and two former colleagues, including Terraform’s Head of Business Development.
Over the months ahead of the UST’s collapse, Pratt allegedly reached out to his Terraform contacts for “defi info,” Terraform’s assets, strategies, and need for liquidity, obtaining a massive advantage in the market.
“Using that insider information, Jane Street sold off its UST at the opportune moment—on May 7, 2022—to maximize its own profits and avoid substantial losses,” the Terraform’s estate claimed.
“Within hours of Jane Street selling its UST holdings, UST was depegged from $1, and the entire Terraform ecosystem, including the UST and Luna cryptocurrencies, was in a death spiral. Jane Street did not stop there: using the confidential information it learned, it then took short positions in UST and Luna to profit from the crash it helped catalyze,” it continued.
As a result, Jane Street exited its roughly $193 million UST position near par and allegedly made an additional $134 million from UST and LUNA shorts.
Insider Trading Fueled UST’s ‘Death Spiral’
The filing affirmed that Jane Street “pulled the rug out from Terraform and its investors when it liquidated its entire holding in a single trading day,” suggesting that if the Wall Street giant had not flooded the market and triggered the initial depeg, “the irreversible UST death spiral that led Terraform to suffer significant losses may not have occurred.”
Therefore, the estate considers that Jane Street’s market manipulation before and during the May 2022 depeg event damaged the ecosystem, and requested that the Court find that the defendants violated the Commodities Exchange Act and “award the amount that Jane Street profited and the losses they avoided as a result of their manipulation of the market and trades supported by material non-public information.”
It’s worth noting that Jane Street filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in April, alleging that the company&#8217;s estate attempted to “extract cash from Jane Street to foot the bill for a fraud that Terraform itself perpetrated on the market.”
Jane Street argued that Terraform’s management was responsible for the multi-billion-dollar collapse and affirmed that its controversial transactions came after the damaging information about UST and LUNA had already been made public.

The analyst highlighted this as a conviction statement as the top U.S. bank held on to its Bitcoin and Ethereum exposure. 
Analyst Delivers Bad News To Solana And XRP Holders
In an X post, Merlijn called Goldman Sachs move to sell its Solana and XRP ETF holdings as bad news for investors in these coins. He stated that the U.S. bank just separated the winners from the losers, seeing as it held on to its Bitcoin and Ethereum exposure. The analyst added that this is not a market signal but a conviction statement. 
However, it is worth noting that Goldman Sachs trimmed its Bitcoin and Ethereum exposure alongside selling its Solana and XRP ETF holdings. The bank cut its holdings in BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF by almost 70% and now holds just over $100 million in the ETF shares. The bank’s Bitcoin exposure through BTC ETFs has dropped to just under $700 million. 
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs was among the largest XRP ETF holders among institutional investors, holding a $153 million position across four funds. At the same time, the bank’s Solana position was over $100 million held across SOL ETFs. The move to sell their holdings in the first quarter of this year came amid the crypto market downtrend, with these coins recording notable declines. 
XRP is currently down over 26% year-to-date (YTD) while Solana is down over 30% as the bear market persists. Bitcoin and Ethereum are also down 10% and 28%, respectively. Interestingly, Goldman Sachs initiated a new position in HYPE treasury firm Hyperliquid Strategies, gaining exposure to the Perp DEX token, which is up over 120% YTD and is the best-performing asset among the top 10 crypto assets. 
XRP Demand Not Concentrated In One Firm
Crypto pundit X Finance Bull noted that XRP ETF flows remain positive despite Goldman Sachs, the largest institutional holder, selling its position. He declared that this means demand is not concentrated in one firm but distributed across multiple institutional buyers who continued to accumulate as the U.S. bank exited. 
The pundit also highlighted how the XRP ETFs have outperformed the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which he noted continue to see significant outflows. SoSoValue data shows that the BTC ETFs have recorded a monthly outflow of $800 million so far this month. The Ethereum ETFs are also in the red this month, with a $260 million outflow. 
Meanwhile, the XRP ETFs have taken in almost $100 million this month, while the Solana ETFs are outperforming with an inflow of $103 million. X Finance Bull stated that the XRP ETFs&#8217; positive flows are a sign that a floor is being built by a broader base of institutional capital rather than by a single bank.

When SpaceX filed its S-1 registration statement with US securities regulators ahead of its planned June 12 stock market debut, the company disclosed Bitcoin holdings that were more than double what tracking firms had estimated.
A Closer Look At The Numbers
SpaceX reported owning 18,712 Bitcoin valued at roughly $1.45 billion as of March 31. That figure caught much of the crypto world off guard.
Companies like BitcoinTreasuries.NET and Arkham had pegged the company&#8217;s holdings at around 8,285 Bitcoin — less than half the actual amount.
The coins were purchased at an average price of $35,320 each, according to the SEC filing. At current prices, the position represents a substantial gain.
The disclosure places SpaceX seventh among publicly listed companies by Bitcoin holdings. That ranking is set to become official once the company completes its IPO, which would push it past several well-known names in the corporate Bitcoin space.
Bigger Than Tesla
SpaceX&#8217;s stash also puts it ahead of Tesla, the electric vehicle company also led by Elon Musk. Tesla holds 11,509 Bitcoin — roughly 7,000 fewer coins.
Both companies began buying Bitcoin around the same time. Reports indicate SpaceX started accumulating the cryptocurrency in early 2021, right around when Tesla made its own move into digital assets. The parallel timing suggests Bitcoin adoption across Musk&#8217;s companies was no coincidence.
The IPO itself carries numbers that are hard to ignore. SpaceX is aiming to raise around $75 billion, with an estimated company valuation ranging from $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion.
If achieved, it would rank as the largest public offering in capital markets history. The company says it is targeting what it described in its filing as the largest addressable market in human history — a $28.5 trillion opportunity spanning artificial intelligence, space exploration, and global connectivity.
A New Layer For Investors
Once SpaceX begins trading, its stock will offer investors something beyond aerospace exposure. Owning shares would also mean indirect access to one of the largest corporate Bitcoin positions among public companies.
That combination — rockets, satellites, AI ambitions, and a billion-dollar crypto holding — gives the offering a profile unlike most traditional IPOs.
SpaceX joins a short list of major corporations that have moved Bitcoin onto their balance sheets in a meaningful way.
The company&#8217;s filing makes clear the position was not a small experiment. Nearly 19,000 coins held over several years points to a deliberate, long-term strategy — one that was largely hidden from public view until now.

Speaking in a May 21 livestream from England, Hoskinson said Cardano is in “treasury season” and facing a tougher funding environment than last year. According to him, the ecosystem is asking for about $52 million in funding this year, down from roughly $98 million last year, after cuts that have already affected engineers and community teams.
“Many people have had to make profound sacrifices,” Hoskinson said. “Good people have had to go. Engineers have been let go. Community teams liquidating familiar faces and new faces alike.”
But the proposal that drew his strongest concern was research. Hoskinson said he had seen a “disturbing trend” of some DReps voting against funding Cardano’s research group, despite what he described as its foundational role in the network’s development.
Hoskinson Defends Cardano’s Research Core
Hoskinson framed the debate as larger than a budget dispute. In his view, Cardano’s long-running research program is the “spine and backbone” of the ecosystem and a key reason the project has differentiated itself from other major blockchains.
“The spine and backbone of what makes Cardano Cardano has always been and will always be the fact that we’re the science coin,” he said. “We’re the research coin. Over the last 10 years, hundreds of millions of dollars has been spent, and countless hundreds of researchers have been involved in the production of the largest research group in the world for cryptocurrencies.”
He pointed to Cardano’s work on proof-of-stake research, extended UTXO, Plutus, sidechains and Bitcoin-related DeFi research as examples of the group’s output. He also argued that the network’s academic ties, spanning institutions such as Stanford, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Wyoming and others, are not easily replaceable.
Hoskinson said critics of the proposal have argued that research funding should be broken apart, allowing the ecosystem to “pick and choose” which areas or people to keep. He rejected that framing, saying it would force the ecosystem into decisions it is not equipped to make without damaging the research operation as a whole.
“So then I asked the DReps, which scientists would you like me to fire?” he said, before naming several researchers associated with Cardano’s technical development. “And if not people, perhaps institutions. Which institutions would you like to shut down? And because you’re so qualified, which research agendas do you so feel are unnecessary?”
Warning Over Talent Flight
A major part of Hoskinson’s argument was that Cardano’s researchers could be recruited by better-funded rival ecosystems if the project signals that their work is no longer valued. He said other blockchains with large treasuries would likely be interested in the same cryptographers, programming language experts and distributed systems researchers.
“If you treat these people like commodities, they will leave,” Hoskinson said. “They’ll leave to other ecosystems that have a lot more money and are willing to pay a lot more with better stability and certainty.”
He warned that the loss would not be easily reversible. Academic and technical talent, he argued, depends on long-term stability, and once researchers move on to other ecosystems, Cardano may not be able to bring them back. “We can’t recover this. It’s a one-way door. If you lose your best and brightest, we won’t get them back. We don’t get to say we’re sorry.”
Hoskinson also tied the issue to market perception. He asked what Cardano’s investment case would look like over the next three to five years if the ecosystem signaled it was no longer willing to support research. Without that layer, he suggested, Cardano would have to lean more heavily on metrics such as monthly active users, TVL or transaction volume.
The livestream ended as a direct appeal to DReps who have not yet voted and to those who have voted against the proposal. Hoskinson asked them to reconsider, saying research funding is not a discretionary line item but part of Cardano’s long-term competitive position.
“You can’t walk without a spine,” he said. “Please vote for science. Please vote for the research proposal for IOG. It’s a necessary foundational proposal, and we can’t afford to lose it.”
At press time, ADA traded at $0.2499.

In a May 20 blog post, Shah said RLUSD can serve as a high-quality digital dollar, while XRP remains the neutral routing asset for cross-asset settlement, liquidity and collateral on the XRP Ledger.
The argument addresses a recurring question in the XRP community and among market observers: if RLUSD can move dollars on-chain and settle quickly, what function is still left for XRP?
Shah’s answer is that RLUSD and XRP are not competing for the same job. RLUSD, he wrote, represents a dollar leg in transactions. XRP is the asset that can sit between markets when two parties do not naturally want to trade the same asset pair.
Will RLUSD Replace XRP?
To explain the distinction, Shah used a playground trading analogy in which children try to swap snacks at recess. Direct trading becomes inefficient when one child has Goldfish, another has fruit snacks, and the person with fruit snacks wants pretzels instead of Goldfish. As the number of snacks grows, the number of possible trading pairs expands rapidly. With ten different snacks, Shah noted, there are 45 possible pairs. With 100 snacks, there are nearly 5,000.
That, he argued, mirrors the problem faced by real markets as tokenized assets proliferate.
“The chance that two specific kids happen to want each other&#8217;s exact snack at the exact same moment gets smaller and smaller,” Shah wrote. “This is the same problem real markets have. The more assets there are, the harder direct trading becomes.”
In the analogy, the solution is “the swap kid,” a participant who holds a little bit of every snack and allows everyone else to trade through him. Shah said this is the role XRP plays on the XRP Ledger. A trader may see a simple swap from a tokenized Treasury bill into a euro stablecoin, but the actual route could be tokenized Treasury bill to XRP to euro stablecoin.
“The XRP step is invisible to the trader,” Shah wrote. “They see ‘Treasury bill in, euro stablecoin out.’ But the XRP in the middle is what makes the trade possible, instantly, without anybody having to find a specific buyer on the other side.”
Shah framed RLUSD as “something entirely different.” It is a stablecoin, designed to be valued at $1 and backed by reserves held by its issuer. That makes it useful when one side of a trade wants a digital dollar. But it does not make RLUSD a universal routing asset across the ledger, he argued.
“RLUSD isn&#8217;t trying to be the swap kid,” Shah wrote. “It&#8217;s trying to be a juice box — a specific thing, with a known value, useful whenever both sides of a trade want a dollar.”
The distinction matters most in markets where there is no natural dollar leg. Shah cited examples such as tokenized Treasuries being swapped for tokenized euro money market funds, lending markets denominated in different assets, and other cross-asset activity that does not begin or end with dollars. In those cases, he said, the ledger needs a neutral bridge asset in the middle.
Three Reasons Why RLUSD Is Not An XRP Killer
Shah gave three reasons why he believes RLUSD cannot serve that function. The first is issuer risk. RLUSD exists because a company mints it and holds dollars in reserve. That is standard for stablecoins, but Shah argued it becomes a structural weakness if the stablecoin becomes the mandatory routing asset for all trades.
“If any stablecoin issuer ever ran into trouble — a regulatory issue, a banking issue, a court order to freeze accounts, a problem with their license — the stablecoin could have a problem too,” he wrote, adding that this was a general point about issued stablecoins rather than a claim about any specific issuer. “That&#8217;s fine if the stablecoin is one asset among many. It&#8217;s a serious design flaw if the stablecoin is the asset every trade routes through.”
The second issue is neutrality. Stablecoin issuers must comply with sanctions, court orders, blacklists and geographic restrictions. Shah said those controls are appropriate for a regulated stablecoin, but problematic if the same token is expected to route trades across a global permissionless ledger.
“The router has to work for everybody across jurisdictions and counterparties, without an intermediary who can decide who&#8217;s allowed to trade,” Shah wrote. “Under the current protocol design, no party can freeze XRP or prevent it from settling a trade. That neutrality is a structural requirement for the routing role.”
The third point is market structure. Liquidity pools and automated market makers require two different assets. There can be pools between RLUSD and euro stablecoins, or RLUSD and tokenized Treasuries. But Shah argued the broader question is which non-RLUSD asset becomes the common bridge across the ledger. In Evernorth’s view, that asset is XRP.
“In a world with hundreds of tokenized assets, every pair can&#8217;t have its own pool,” he wrote. “There isn&#8217;t enough capital or enough market-maker attention. A few assets end up doing most of the bridging work.”
Shah said XRP is positioned for that role because it is among the most liquid assets on the XRP Ledger across a wide range of other assets, because the protocol’s pathfinding routes through it by default, and because market makers concentrate capital on XRP pairs where volume exists. He also pointed to XRP’s lack of issuer, resistance to censorship under the current protocol design, and years of uninterrupted operation as relevant attributes for a bridge asset.
The post also extended the argument beyond trading. Shah said XRP can function as collateral in on-chain lending because it is liquid, broadly accepted and not subject to an issuer that can interfere with the asset during the life of a loan. He also highlighted escrow, where XRP can be locked for release at a future time or upon certain conditions, with the ledger enforcing the rules.
For Evernorth, the broader thesis is that on-chain finance will need both a digital dollar and a routing asset as more assets move on-chain. Shah was careful to frame that as a forward-looking view subject to uncertainty, but said the roles remain separate.
“We&#8217;re not making the case that RLUSD is unimportant,” he wrote. “The growth of on-chain finance requires a high-quality digital dollar, and RLUSD is designed to be one. We hold a view that the dollar leg and the routing leg are two different functions, and both grow with the size of the system.”
At press time, XRP traded at $1.37.
