The flaw was discovered on May 29, remediated through an emergency ecosystem response completed by June 2, and has now triggered a broader debate over how Zcash can prove supply integrity in a privacy-preserving system.
Orchard Flaw Puts Zcash Supply Integrity Under Scrutiny
The vulnerability was found by Hornby, an experienced security engineer hired by Shielded Labs in April 2026 to conduct ongoing security research on the Zcash protocol. According to the disclosure, the mandate was straightforward: find protocol-level weaknesses before adversaries did. Hornby began reviewing Zcash with a combination of traditional security research and newer AI-assisted auditing methods.
The timing was unusually compressed. Shortly after Anthropic released its Opus 4.8 model on May 28, Hornby used it in a targeted review of the Orchard circuit. One day later, he found a critical counterfeiting flaw and disclosed it to Zcash Open Development Lab, or ZODL, whose engineers coordinated the emergency response with other ecosystem participants.
“The vulnerability could have been exploited to undetectably create an unlimited amount of counterfeit ZEC within Orchard,” the Shielded Labs post said. “Because of the privacy properties of Orchard, there is no way to cryptographically prove whether the vulnerability was exploited before it was remediated. However, a network upgrade can be deployed to protect users and prove the integrity of the Zcash supply.”
The disclosure states that the bug was “real and exploitable.” Hornby, with the help of Opus 4.8, wrote a complete exploit and tested it in a local regtest environment, where it generated unlimited counterfeit ZEC that could not be detected. The authors said that had the same tool been run on mainnet, it would have generated unlimited, undetectable counterfeit ZEC in Hornby’s mainnet wallet.
Technically, the issue involved an under-constrained element of the Orchard circuit. That made it possible to feed arbitrary false inputs into an elliptic curve multiplication while still passing the multiplication check. The vulnerability existed from Orchard’s activation in May 2022 until the emergency fix was deployed on June 1, 2026.
That timeline is central to the concern. In a transparent ledger, supply irregularities can generally be audited by inspecting public balances and transaction values. Orchard is different by design: it hides amounts and transaction history. That privacy model means the system depends heavily on the correctness of the circuit rules that define valid shielded transactions.
Josh Swihart, founder and CEO of Zcash Open Development Lab, the team behind the creation and launch of Zcash and builder of the Zodl wallet, framed the issue in those terms in a separate post. “A shielded Zcash transaction includes a proof that it followed the protocol&#8217;s rules, as defined in the rulebook (the circuit) that defines what constitutes a valid transaction. The Orchard vulnerability was in one of the rules, written loosely enough that it would accept false information and still pass. As a result, the engine could be convinced that a fake transaction was valid.”
Swihart added that the flaw was not in Zcash’s underlying cryptography or the proof engine itself, but in the handwritten rules. In his words, “This was a flaw in the handwritten rules, not in the underlying cryptography or the engine that creates proofs.”
Shielded Labs said prior exploitation appears unlikely, while emphasizing that users should not be asked to rely on that assessment alone. The authors pointed to several reasons for their view: the flaw had evaded years of scrutiny by leading cryptographers, Hornby was specifically hired to find such vulnerabilities, and the response window after discovery was sharply narrowed by the speed of ZODL and the broader Zcash ecosystem.
“The discovery was not accidental—it was the result of a deliberate effort to identify vulnerabilities of this kind before malicious actors could,” the post said. “Taylor is one of the most skilled people in the world at this. He used the most recent AI tools, available only to white-hat security researchers, along with a sophisticated custom-built AI harness and prompts, and worked hard to outrace the attackers. We think he probably succeeded.”
Still, the authors acknowledged the unresolved cryptographic uncertainty. Because of Orchard’s privacy properties and the nature of the bug, they said there is no definitive way to prove solely through cryptography whether the vulnerability was exploited before the fix.
Shielded Labs Eyes New Pool And Formal Verification
To address that, Shielded Labs is exploring a proposed network upgrade with other Zcash developers. The plan would deploy a new shielded pool and enforce turnstile accounting on coins moving from the existing Orchard pool, with the goal of allowing anyone to verify the integrity of the Zcash supply and prove the non-existence of counterfeit ZEC in Orchard. A follow-up post is expected next week with more details, including tradeoffs and implementation mechanics. Any major upgrade would still need community support and the standard governance process before activation.
Swihart said a second Orchard pool could, in principle, be targeted for NU7 at the end of July, though he did not take a fixed position on whether that path should be pursued. He argued that the larger issue is preventing this class of failure from recurring, with formal verification as the strongest answer.
“Formal verification fixes this,” Swihart wrote. “A mathematical proof can be constructed to reduce the parts humans must review to a concise, readable statement of the rules. A computer then checks the entire rulebook to ensure it matches. AI tools can now do the work of writing these proofs.”
Shielded Labs said it is already accelerating proactive security work with Hornby and Anthropic, initiating a project to formally verify the Orchard circuit, and opening searches for a Head of Security and a Cryptographer. The episode leaves Zcash with a difficult but clear path: repair the trust assumptions around Orchard, prove supply integrity where possible, and move future shielded design closer to machine-checked guarantees rather than human-reviewed complexity.
Over the past 24 hours, ZEC has fallen nearly 45% amid the uncertainty. At press time, it was trading at $337.

The decline has been persistent rather than sudden — and CryptoQuant data has surfaced a combination of on-chain signals that reveals the behavioral dynamic beneath the price action in a way that challenges both the straightforward bullish and bearish readings currently circulating.
The analysis examines three indicators simultaneously — Accumulating Retail Addresses, SOPR, and NUPL — to build a picture of market psychology rather than price mechanics. What that picture reveals is a market caught between two forces pulling in opposite directions.
Retail accumulation of Ethereum has surged to near-record levels in late 2025 and early 2026. The instinctive interpretation of that surge is bullish — more buyers at lower prices should support recovery. But the historical context the CryptoQuant data provides complicates that reading immediately. The strongest retail buying activity has historically appeared during the later stages of market cycles, at precisely the moments when larger participants are beginning to distribute their holdings into that demand.
Record retail accumulation is not automatically a bullish signal. It depends entirely on who is on the other side of those purchases.
SOPR hovering near 1.0 for an extended period adds the second layer of fragility. Investors are neither realizing meaningful profits nor experiencing significant losses — a neutral state that reflects limited fresh capital entering the market and a price structure that has not yet resolved in either direction. When SOPR stays at this level for too long, the market becomes vulnerable to the specific kind of breakdown that loss-driven selling pressure produces.
A Market That Cannot Find Its Floor
The CryptoQuant analysis adds the NUPL dimension that completes the bearish case without making it absolute. Unrealized profits across the Ethereum holder base have declined meaningfully from cycle highs — but they remain above the extreme levels recorded during the 2018 and 2022 bear markets. That distance from the historical floor means additional selling pressure remains possible if sentiment continues deteriorating. The worst has not yet been priced in from a profitability exhaustion perspective.
The most alarming signal in the analysis is the accumulation-price divergence. Retail investors are buying Ethereum aggressively while market strength remains weak. When exceptional demand growth fails to produce price appreciation, the explanation is almost always the same: significant selling pressure on the other side systematically absorbing every retail purchase. Whales appear to be distributing into the strongest retail buying the market has seen in years.
Binance User Deposit Addresses remaining below previous bull market peaks provide the partial offset that prevents the picture from being entirely bearish. Many ETH holders are still holding rather than sending coins to exchanges — a behavior that is slowing the pace of the decline rather than stopping it.
The forward risk the report identifies is specific and conditional. SOPR breaking below 1.0 would confirm that investors are predominantly selling at a loss — the trigger for loss-driven selling pressure that has historically accelerated Ethereum&#8217;s most damaging declines. Combined with a weakening NUPL, that combination would remove the remaining buffer between the current price structure and the kind of capitulation the 2018 and 2022 bear markets ultimately required before genuine bottoms formed.
Ethereum Breaks Below Critical Support
Ethereum remains under heavy selling pressure after decisively losing the $1,800–$1,850 support region that had acted as the final line of defense since February. The daily chart shows a clear breakdown from a multi-month distribution range, with ETH trading near $1,760 after a sharp rejection from the $2,300 resistance zone that capped every recovery attempt throughout April and May.
The technical damage is significant. Price has now fallen below all major moving averages, with the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day trends aligned bearishly. More importantly, ETH has broken beneath the lower boundary of the consolidation structure that contained price action for nearly four months. Volume has expanded during the decline, suggesting conviction from sellers rather than a temporary liquidity event.
The next major area of interest sits between approximately $1,700 and $1,750. This zone marks the lower edge of the chart&#8217;s current demand region and represents the final significant support before Ethereum risks revisiting the February capitulation lows. Bulls will need to defend this area aggressively to prevent a deeper correction.
On the upside, the former support zone around $1,850–$1,900 now becomes immediate resistance. Any recovery attempt must first reclaim that level before a move toward $2,050 becomes realistic. Until then, the trend remains firmly bearish, with lower highs, lower lows, and deteriorating momentum continuing to favor sellers despite increasingly oversold conditions.

Bitcoin Spot &amp; Futures Demand Has Shrunken Recently
As pointed out by CryptoQuant head of research Julio Moreno in an X post, Bitcoin demand has been contracting at a sharp rate recently. &#8220;Demand&#8221; here refers to the combined amount of Bitcoin flowing into spot and futures markets.
Below is the chart shared by Moreno that shows the 30-day change in this demand over the last few years.
As displayed in the graph, the total demand for Bitcoin rose alongside the price surge that occurred over the course of April and the first half of May. Interestingly, as the color coding of the curve suggests, this increase was due to demand flowing into derivatives markets; spot demand actually contracted during the rally.
In the past, upward moves in the price have generally only been sustainable when demand has simultaneously risen in the spot and futures markets. From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent that both the bull rallies in 2024 and the run in 2025 involved this green setup. Since the recent recovery surge was only fueled by speculative activity, it may not be surprising that it couldn&#8217;t last, and a sharp reversal has followed for the market.
The shift of winds in the Bitcoin sector has not only involved the total demand flipping into the negative, but it has also led to a turnaround in direction for speculative activity that has aligned it with the spot market&#8217;s trend of contraction. Currently, the 30-day change in the total demand is sitting at a negative value of 501,000 BTC, which is the lowest that the metric has hit since May 2022. &#8220;Bitcoin demand is contracting at a pace comparable to the post-Terra/Luna collapse period,&#8221; noted the analyst.
The Terra/LUNA collapse was a violent event that occurred during the 2022 bear market. During the event, UST, an algorithmic stablecoin, lost its $1 peg and caused the Terra ecosystem to destabilize into a death spiral, ultimately triggering a crash in the wider sector.
Back then, the contraction in spot and futures demand reached the -559,000 BTC mark. The current value of the indicator is still not there, but if the market continues in this trajectory, it&#8217;s possible that demand could flow out of the market at a similar rate. It only remains to be seen, though, how the Bitcoin sector will develop in the near future.
BTC Price
Following the price crash, Bitcoin has dropped to the $63,200 level, the lowest that the asset has been since February.

Gox Moves BTC, Raising Selloff Concerns</title><description><![CDATA[With roughly 24,081 Bitcoin still sitting in wallets tied to the defunct exchange, Mt. Gox has started moving funds again — and the timing could not be more charged.
Deadline Pressure Mounts
The repayment deadline for Mt. Gox creditors is now set for October 31, 2026, the third postponement since the original cutoff of October 31, 2023.
Court approval was required each time the date was pushed back, and the trustee overseeing the case says some creditors have still not received their funds due to unresolved paperwork or procedural problems.
Most payouts have already gone through. Base repayments, early lump-sum payments, and intermediate distributions have been completed for eligible creditors, with around 19,500 of them paid back through platforms like Kraken and Bitstamp as of late March 2025.
116 BTC Lands On Bitstamp
The latest movement involves 116.3 BTC, valued at roughly $8.16 million, transferred directly to Bitstamp.
On-chain data from Arkham Intelligence confirms the transaction, which followed a far larger move earlier this week when 10,422.65 BTC worth around $739 million was shifted to a new wallet beginning with the address prefix &#8220;14FEEM.&#8221;
The smaller tranche — 116.3 BTC — was later separated from that batch and sent to the exchange.
Whether the Bitstamp transfer is intended to convert funds into fiat for creditor payouts or to distribute BTC directly to creditors through the platform remains unclear, though both have been used in previous distributions.
Markets Respond Sharply
Bitcoin dropped to around $61,300 before recovering above $64,000, with some observers pointing to the Mt. Gox transfers as a contributing factor.
The $739 million movement earlier in the week rattled sentiment first. The subsequent Bitstamp deposit, though much smaller, kept the pressure on.
Mt. Gox collapsed in 2014 after losing about 850,000 BTC in a security breach. The estate set aside for creditor recovery includes 142,000 Bitcoin, 143,000 Bitcoin Cash, and approximately 69 billion Japanese yen in cash.
Still Around $1.55B Left To Move
The remaining 24,081 BTC under Mt. Gox control is currently worth about $1.55 billion, and every on-chain movement tied to the estate draws immediate scrutiny from traders watching for signs of further selling.
The October deadline gives the trustee roughly five months to wrap up outstanding distributions before the window closes again.

Given the robust drop from its all-time high of $126,000, BTC has significantly underperformed when compared to several assets in the stock market.
Micron Technology, A Stronger Performer Than Bitcoin
Even though Bitcoin is frequently considered one of the best-performing investments of the contemporary period, current market data indicate that it has fallen well short of semiconductor stocks. One of the semiconductor stocks that is being compared with BTC is Micron Technology.
Despite its position as the top digital asset, Bitcoin has found it difficult to keep up with the growth of Micron Technology. The performance disparity is indicative of a larger shift in investor focus toward industries that profit from the growing demand for strong computing hardware and Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. 
As revealed in Joao Wedson’s recent report on the X platform, BTC has already experienced an over 95% drop against Micro Technology. According to the Alphractal founder and market expert, the broader crypto community may not understand the gravity of this divergence at the moment. However, this kind of move is capable of causing a massive impact on the crypto market over the next 12 months.
While many crypto players are majorly focusing on the BTC/USD pair, Wedson highlighted that global capital is showing a much deeper rotation. Furthermore, when Bitcoin loses strength against companies tied to the infrastructure of the new economy, particularly AI and semiconductors, it is typically a crucial signal that should not be ignored.
However, the fractal might bring Satoshi back to life, and cryptocurrency may finally turn into a contrarian investment in contrast to equities. Wedson has expressed his robust confidence in this narrative while stating that the community will come back to remember this. 
After navigating price action in 2026, Wedson has declared 2026 the year of crypto depression, in addition to being the year where everything can change. “You just need to follow where the metrics are pointing and trust the data,” he added.
BTC’s Sideways Performance Affecting Investors’ Behavior
Investors’ sentiment toward Bitcoin is starting to witness a notable shift. Santiment noted that the descent of crypto prices, especially BTC’s 13% drop over the past week, can be largely attributed to the dumping by key stakeholders.
Data shows that BTC whales and sharks, those holdings between 10 BTC and 10,000 BTC, have dumped over 24,602 BTC, which represents an 18% decline over the past week. When large investors sell off their coins, it suggests that the market is shifting into a highly cautious and uncertain phase.
While these investors are dumping, micro BTC traders classified as wallet addresses holding under 0.01 BTC have been buying more BTC. Within the same period, these traders have scooped up over 61 BTC, reflecting a more than 12% rise. As price action continues to wane, this trend is key to monitor as it could serve as a solid signal for the optimal dip buy spot.

The freeze was announced during Disruption Week, a coordinated push led by the DOJ’s Scam Center Strike Force.
Multi-Agency Push
According to Coinbase, the effort pulled in government agencies and private companies to hit the fraud chain at several points at once, from online accounts to money flows and physical sites. The exchange said no single company or agency could stop the crews on its own.
The company said the work involved social platforms, financial institutions, connectivity providers, and law enforcement working together, while the Justice Department framed the action as part of a broader strike against Southeast Asian criminal organizations. Officials said those groups have defrauded Americans of billions of dollars.
Accounts, Servers, And Arrests
Meta, Microsoft, and Starlink were among the private firms named in the operation, helping take down servers and other hosting tools linked to the scam networks. Authorities also said more than 1.4 million social media and email accounts were disrupted, and the Royal Thai Police Anti-Cyber Scam Center made arrests tied to the effort.
Today, through @USAttyPirro &amp; our Scam Center Strike Force, the DOJ announced results from its first-of-its-kind &#8220;Disruption Week,&#8221; partnering with the private sector to crush Southeast Asian cyber/crypto fraud.
Key impacts:
&#8211; 1.4M+ scam accounts disrupted
&#8211; $3.8M in crypto…
— U.S. Attorney DC (@USAO_DC) June 3, 2026
The scam pattern is familiar, but the scale keeps climbing. The DOJ said investment fraud and pig butchering remain among the fastest-growing and most damaging scams aimed at Americans, and the FBI reported earlier this month that losses from crypto- and AI-related scams in 2025 topped $11 billion, with investment scams causing the most damage.
Another part of the same push came in April, when the Scam Center Strike Force and its partners restrained more than $701 million in crypto tied to investment scams. Authorities have also carried out other crackdowns this year, including actions in Dubai and Albania, as pressure on scam infrastructure spread beyond Southeast Asia.
Crypto’s Place In The Crackdown
Coinbase also argued that blockchain gives investigators a permanent record of transactions, a point it used to push back on the idea that crypto is only a tool for crime. The coalition behind the operation included the FBI, the US Secret Service, and law enforcement partners in the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Thailand.
The latest freeze fits a pattern of steady pressure on scam centers rather than one-off arrests. Officials have kept aiming at websites, messaging channels, servers, and the money trail itself, hoping to cut off the machinery that lets these fraud rings keep running.

As a result, sell-offs on the platform have largely stopped, with whales moving most of their tokens into private wallets. With these large investors now controlling a significant portion of daily outflows, supply on exchanges is shrinking fast, a trend that normally supports price. However, despite the bullish trend, the altcoin is still crashing, struggling to regain momentum or reclaim key upper levels, as broader market weakness continues to weigh on its price.
XRP Price Declines As Whales Exit Binance
Crypto market analyst Pumpius revealed in an X post that XRP whale activity on Binance has dropped to near-zero levels. Sharing an outflow chart from CryptoQuant, the analyst noted that these large-scale investors have effectively stopped dumping the token and may be shifting their stance to holdings rather than trading. 
Crypto community members suggest the previous outflows could be linked to rumors that Binance froze XRP trading activity, effectively restricting the asset&#8217;s market movement. There is also speculation that Binance may have partially suspended the XRP network on its platform. In possible retaliation, some investors and traders appear to be withdrawing their assets amid uncertainty.
Pumpius added that the last time XRP outflows on Binance dried up to this extent, it preceded a major price rally in 2025. At the time, the altcoin surged from $0.40 to $3.20, representing a more than 700% gain. As a result, the analyst suggests that a new accumulation phase could be forming, raising the possibility of another legendary bull run, with 2025’s rally acting as the blueprint.
Despite an optimistic outlook and the absence of whale dumps, its price continues to decline. The cryptocurrency remains under heavy bearish pressure, crippled by weak market structure and bearish sentiment. Data from CoinMarketCap confirms that the price has fallen more than 10% in the past 24 hours, slipping from above $1.20 to $1.15 at the time of writing.
CoinMarketCap attributes the sharp decline to a wave of liquidations in the derivatives market, which wiped out over $25 million in leveraged long positions and triggered further selling. In addition, Bitcoin’s drop below $63,000 and rising US–Iran geopolitical tensions have also contributed to broader market weakness, dragging XRP lower.
Its Price Still Faces Mounting Pressure From Sellers
A crypto market experts known as ‘That Martini Guy B’ stated on X that XRP is still under heavy selling pressure. Over the past few months, the cryptocurrency has been trading between $1.30 and $1.40. However, this week the altcoin broke key support levels, falling below $1.20 and hitting its lowest price of the year.
The analyst noted that even as whales move XRP off crypto exchanges to reduce immediate selling, broader market pressure shows no signs of easing. This persistent bearish momentum suggests that XRP could face further declines in the near term, with the next key support levels likely to be tested if the downtrend continues.

The selloff is unfolding against two pressures at once: bearish momentum across the broader crypto market and fresh warnings from Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson. 
Cardano Infrastructure Under Concern
As Bitcoinist reported earlier in the day, Hoskinson sparked one of the most uncomfortable public discussions in Cardano’s history after posting a video warning that the second half of the year could bring a wave of project failures, forced consolidation, and decentralized finance (DeFi) shutdowns throughout the ecosystem.
The immediate trigger behind this comes from TapTools, a service closely tied to Cardano infrastructure. Earlier today, TapTools announced that it will wind down operations within two weeks. 
TapTools serves more than one million users and has supported the backend data needs of hundreds of Cardano-native token protocols over the past four years. That sudden pullback is being interpreted by many as an early sign of strain, not only in one product, but across the ecosystem’s overall health.
In response to TapTools’ announcement, Hoskinson posted a video arguing that the shutdown should not be seen as an isolated incident. He positioned it as a leading indicator of deeper stress inside the ecosystem. Shortly afterward, the Cardano co-founder took his message to X (previously Twitter), writing that he is “taking a break.”  
Bear Case Intensifies For ADA
For market analyst Ali Martinez, the combination of Hoskinson’s “break” message and the unfolding ecosystem concerns could be bearish enough to push Cardano toward levels near its all-time lows. 
In a social media post, Martinez said that on the weekly chart, the next potential downside targets are first $0.11 and ultimately $0.051. Those levels would represent an additional crash of about 71% from current trading levels around $0.18 at the time of writing. The analyst said, “I’d be taking a break too if I were him.”

Despite the heightened bearish pressure around the leading altcoin, funding rates on crypto exchanges have started to experience a sudden uptick, reaching new highs.
Binance Ethereum Funding Rates At A 2026 High
The Ethereum market may be struggling with growing volatility, but its derivatives traders seem to be displaying a renewed wave of optimism toward the asset. Specifically, this renewed optimistic behavior is observed across its funding rates on cryptocurrency exchanges, especially Binance, the largest trading platform in the world.
CryptoQuant, an on-chain data analytics platform, shared on X that ETH funding rates on Binance have climbed 0.00087, marking their highest level since the start of 2026. High funding rates are usually a sign of rising positive optimism among leveraged market participants, with long-position demand exceeding short interest.
With the index hitting roughly 0.0087, the current value of Ethereum&#8217;s funding rate on Binance shows a notable increase in long holdings inside the perpetual contracts market. This reading reflects a notable rise in traders’ reliance on leverage to open long positions in spite of persistent selling pressure in the cryptocurrency market.
According to Arab Chain, the rise in funding rates to new highs indicates that many traders are expecting a near-term price rebound, pushing them to increasingly enter long positions. However, this renewed optimism is coinciding with BTC’s continued decline and the overall weakness across the market. As they collide, this development has created a discrepancy between price action and trader behavior in the derivatives market.
High Risk Appetite Is A Trigger For Positive Funding Rates
Data indicates that high positive funding rates often emerge when risk appetite rises rapidly, particularly following a sharp decline, with traders attempting to capitalize on market bottoms using leverage. Meanwhile, long liquidations may become more likely as a result of Bitcoin&#8217;s ongoing slide in light of high funding levels, particularly if the price does not significantly climb in the near future.
In addition, high finding levels during a weak market may suggest that the market is overcrowded with long positions. Such a trend implies that any further decline in BTC could cause traders to close their positions, potentially exacerbating volatility and applying downward pressure on Ethereum and other altcoins.
Arab Chain stated that investors usually considered these high funding levels as an indicator of increased short-term risk. Nonetheless, this is common when optimism is not supported by a clear improvement in BTC’s price trend and the broader market.
The sharp increase in funding rates coincides with traders keeping a careful eye on Ethereum&#8217;s capacity to maintain momentum in the face of shifting market conditions. At the time of writing, ETH’s price was trading at $1,787, showing a nearly 5% drop over the past day.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holders In Deepest Pain Since COVID Crash
As highlighted by Glassnode lead research analyst CryptoVizArt in an X post, the Bitcoin long-term holders have seen a spike in loss supply following the latest price crash.
&#8220;Long-term holders&#8221; (LTHs) refer to the BTC investors who have been holding onto their coins for a period longer than 155 days. These holders make up for one of the two main divisions of the network done on the basis of holding time. The other side, containing investors who purchased within the past five months, is known as the short-term holders (STHs).
Statistically, the longer investors keep their coins dormant, the less likely they become to sell them in the future. As such, LTHs with their relatively long holding time are considered to include the resolute hands of the market.
Currently, the 155-day cutoff for the LTH group puts their buying point before January. BTC traded above the latest spot price throughout 2024, so a notable amount of the cohort&#8217;s members would be underwater right now.
Below is the chart shared by CryptoVizArt that shows the exact amount of supply that&#8217;s being held in loss by the Bitcoin LTHs.
As is visible in the graph, the amount of Bitcoin LTH supply being held at some net unrealized loss rose as the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price observed a bearish shift in Q4 2025. Another particularly sharp surge in the metric came this year alongside the February price crash, which took its value near the highs from the 2022 bear market.
Now, the latest price crash has induced further expansion in the indicator, with LTHs carrying 5.3 million BTC at a loss. From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent that this level is higher than the peak registered at the lows that followed the FTX crash.
In fact, this value is higher than other bear markets as well. The only period that saw the loss supply of the LTHs exceed this level was the crash caused by COVID-19 in March 2020.
In the past, extreme readings in the metric have usually coincided with market lows and reversals in its value have led into a change of trend. &#8220;The scale of underwater LTH supply suggests the resolution process is still in progress,&#8221; noted the analyst.
It now remains to be seen whether the Bitcoin LTH loss will reach even higher heights in this cycle or if a turnaround will follow next.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $64,000, down more than 13% over the past week.

The debate erupted after ZODL developers disclosed an issue affecting the Orchard shielded pool, briefly turning a technical incident into a broader argument over privacy, auditability, and Bitcoin ossification.
Todd’s initial post was direct: “Why adding Zcash style privacy to Bitcoin at the consensus layer is a bad idea.” He was responding to a post from Zcash Open Development Lab, which said a “coordinated Zcash network upgrade” was underway after an issue affecting the Zcash Orchard pool was identified during routine auditing and security review processes.
Why Peter Todd Sounds Alarm On Zcash-Style Privacy
The exchange quickly widened beyond ZEC itself. One user argued that Bitcoin has its own history of critical bugs, pointing to the 2010 value overflow incident and the 2013 chain split as evidence that “no protocol is exempt from tech issues.” The same post accused Bitcoin maximalists of pushing for “total ossification” while facing future threats such as quantum computing.
Todd answered by drawing a distinction between visible and hidden failures. “Exactly my point. With Bitcoin, rolling back the chain is feasible, as only a small subset of coins were affected, and the exploit was trivial to notice,” he wrote. His argument was not that Bitcoin is bug-free, but that its accounting model makes certain classes of catastrophic bugs easier to detect and unwind.
That point became the core of the disagreement. When another user argued that rejecting consensus-layer privacy on bug-risk grounds would “stop any innovation/development,” Todd responded that not all cryptography carries the same operational risk. “Different types of cryptography have different levels of risk to them. Zcash-style cryptography has a very high level of risk, much more so than Bitcoin’s cryptography. Which is reflected in how Zcash has had much more serious issues than Bitcoin.”
The counterargument was that Bitcoin itself has suffered serious early failures. One participant cited the 2010 value overflow incident and the 2018 bug, CVE-2018-17144, as examples that challenged Todd’s framing. Todd rejected the comparison, saying neither case put the currency at the same kind of existential risk.
“Neither of those exploits had any chance of destroying the currency,” Todd wrote. “Exactly what coins were counterfeit was trivially visible, allowing easy rollbacks. Not so with Zcash.”
The disagreement turns on a specific property of shielded systems: privacy can reduce the visibility that makes supply audits straightforward. In Todd’s view, this changes the risk calculation for Bitcoin. A bug in transparent accounting can be noticed because invalid outputs or counterfeit coins are visible on-chain. In a deeply shielded system, he argued, the damage may be harder to observe, harder to attribute, and harder to reverse.
Zcash defenders pushed back on that framing as well. One user told Todd that he did not understand the “turnstile construct,” arguing that “no such bug can affect the total ZEC supply.” Todd shifted the focus from total supply to shielded user balances, noting that a large share of ZEC already sits inside the shielded pool. “30% of the Zcash supply is shielded. That supply being destroyed would be a disaster, and would completely wipe out the holdings of a high % of all Zcash users. I personally have a little bit of Zcash, all of which is shielded.”

The crypto market sentiment is now back in extreme fear, and there have been multiple questions on when Bitcoin will eventually register a correction bottom. 
Crypto pundit Ardi believes the answer may be found less in the current candle and more in the calendar, especially since we are still in the second quarter of the year, while past bear market lows have usually arrived much later in the year.
Bitcoin’s Bottom History Has A Favourite Season
Crypto pundit Ardi, posting on X alongside a weekly Bitcoin chart that encompasses over a decade of price history, laid out a pattern that has held without exception across every prior market cycle. 
According to the pundit, Bitcoin has always bottomed in the fourth quarter during its bear market years, and that makes the current price action more difficult for bulls to defend from registering another bottom. The point is that the year is still in the second quarter, meaning Bitcoin would need to hold above the $60,000 region for another six months to break from the historical pattern.
The Bitcoin weekly candlestick chart below captures this trend very clearly. Bitcoin’s 2013 cycle correction lasted 413 days before bottoming in November 2014, the 2017 bear cycle correction lasted 378 days before the December 2018 low, and the 2021 cycle bear market lasted 364 days before BTC bottomed in November 2022. 
The current correction is at 245 days from the October 2025 high of $126,000, leaving room for more time if the market continues to mirror previous bear-market structures.
Consensus On Q4 2026
Ardi is not the only market watcher pointing to late 2026 as the more likely period for a cycle bottom. Popular crypto analyst and founder of Into the Cryptoverse, Benjamin Cowen, also noted that Bitcoin&#8217;s four-year cycle is still in play, given that the current cycle top in October 2025 arrived within one week of when it historically does. His base case for the current cycle low is October 2026.
Other analysts have reached similar conclusions through different methodologies. Ali Martinez pins October 2026 as the likely bottom based on the average duration of prior bear markets. Xanrox places the bottom in September or October, with recovery expected to begin in November or December. 
CryptoQuant points to October through December, coinciding with what would be a sub-zero MVRV Z-Score, while technical signals, including the Bitcoin Repetition Fractal Cycle, are also pointing to October 2026 as the month everything will change.
At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $62,950 after a 6.2% decline over the past 24 hours. The drop has pushed BTC to its lowest level in four months, leaving the cryptocurrency at risk of losing the $60,000 support as outflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to weigh on market sentiment.

The analyst has expressed strong confidence in this ambitious price target, emphasizing that the forecast is not driven by speculation or unfounded hope, but by real technical structures and price patterns. 
Bitcoin Projected Roadmap Points To $500,000 Bull Target
Market expert Crypto Tice strongly believes that Bitcoin could reach as high as $500,000, nearly quadruple its current all-time high of over $126,000. The analyst stated on X that he has mapped out a detailed roadmap showing how BTC could achieve this ambitious bull target.
Crypto Tice highlighted a long-term ascending channel on his BTC chart, marking distinct phases where the price surged and other areas where it pulled back. He noted that Bitcoin has already gone through three phases in its previous cycle.
The area marked as 1 to 2 on the chart highlights the first phase of BTC’s roadmap. Crypto Tice noted that Bitcoin had rallied sharply, eventually touching the mid-upper boundary of the channel during that stage. This was followed by an even stronger bounce, which the analyst labeled a “Mid-range rally.” After this surge, the cryptocurrency faced a major rejection, falling back to the lower boundary of the ascending channel.
According to Crypto Tice, Bitcoin’s current price action is mirroring the same historical pattern. He explained that the cryptocurrency has already completed phase one, called the “First touch” of the mid-boundary line. It is now entering phase two, which could potentially trigger its strongest rally yet.
The analyst predicts that this second phase could push BTC toward $500,000, representing a more than 693% increase from its current price above $63,000. Following this surge, Bitcoin may enter the third phase, a final pullback to the lower boundary of the ascending channel, marking the completion of Crypto Tice’s projected roadmap.
BTC Records Massive Price Crash
Bitcoin has plunged back into the $60,000 range as persistent selling pressure and weak market sentiment continue to weigh on its price action. Market analyst Ash Crypto noted that the leading cryptocurrency has fallen by a steep 17% over the past three days, shedding roughly $12,800 in value. As a result, Bitcoin dropped from around $74,000 to $61,300, wiping out approximately $250 billion from its market capitalization.
The bearish pressure has also spread across the broader crypto market, with blue-chip assets such as Ethereum suffering significant losses. Ash Crypto highlighted that ETH has declined by about 14% during the same period, falling to a 13-month low of $1,715 for the first time since April 2025.
Despite the sharp downturn in cryptocurrencies, U.S. equities have continued to trade near their highs, creating an unusual divergence between the two markets. According to the analyst, there is no clear driver behind the latest sell-off. He suggested that the unusual price action could point to market manipulation or to the crypto market front-running the stock market crash.

Officials had expected a surge in corrected filings and fresh tax payments, but the early results point to a much quieter response.
Limited Trust In The Offer
The program was designed to give crypto holders a chance to clean up old reporting mistakes without facing criminal charges, provided they met the filing rules and paid what they owed. But according to reports, the offer did not carry enough force on its own, and many holders appear to have stayed on the sidelines rather than risk putting their names on the record.
A tax lawyer quoted in the coverage said the lack of an anonymous path made the decision harder for people who did not think they were already under heavy scrutiny. The concern was simple: once a taxpayer steps in, the state has a clearer view of what was hidden before, and the promise of safety may not feel as strong as it looks on paper.
Big Expectations, Small Response
The gap between expectation and reality is striking because the tax authority had hoped the voluntary process could bring in as much as $1 billion in tax revenue from crypto holdings. Instead, the reports point to about $50 million in declared crypto capital, a figure that suggests many holders either chose to wait or decided not to engage at all.
The filing window also came with a narrow set of conditions, including a cap tied to the equivalent of $522,000 as of December 2024 and a deadline that runs until Aug. 31, 2026. That kind of structure can help define the rules, but it also narrows the pool of people willing to step in, especially when the state is asking them to correct past records tied to assets that are often moved quietly.
What The Numbers Suggest
The weak turnout lands against a larger backdrop of crypto ownership in Israel, where the Bank of Israel estimated that residents held about $1 billion in digital assets during the first half of 2024. That means the voluntary disclosures captured only a small slice of the market, even before the deadline has closed.

At the same time, the bank’s analysts said that the odds of the bill clearing Congress and reaching President Trump’s desk this year are becoming increasingly slim.
CLARITY Act Would Be ‘Good For The Banks’
Armstrong told Politico that it was “kind of sad” to hear Dimon call him “full of shit.” He said he has “a lot of respect for Jamie Dimon,” adding that while they disagree on the crypto bill, he still respects the banker personally. 
Coinbase CEO said he believes the regulatory framework in the CLARITY Act would ultimately be beneficial for traditional banks, and he was surprised by Dimon’s tone. He suggested that the level of intensity in public commentary can blur nuance, saying, “When people communicate through the media, nuance gets lost.” 
Armstrong further argued that the bill could be helpful beyond Wall Street—stating that it would be “great for crypto companies as well.” In his view, the goal should be to move past rigid positions and focus on getting the legislation “over the finish line.”
The exchange comes after NewsBTC reported on Dimon’s comments, in which he said banks “will not accept” the CLARITY Act in its current form. 
Dimon also suggested that efforts by crypto supporters were unlikely to build a broad consensus with traditional financial institutions, warning that there would be continued resistance rather than convergence. 
He said the act would be fought and added that no one would “bow down” to either Armstrong or crypto-related figures, arguing that someone associated with the lobbying push was spending “hundreds of millions of dollars in Washington” on the legislation. 
Midterms Reduce Chances This Year
In the Politico interview, Armstrong said he was “a little perplexed by that,” and reiterated that he believes the CLARITY Act would help the banking sector and create clearer rules for the crypto industry. 
Rather than treating the debate as a matter of winning or losing, Armstrong framed it as a test of whether lawmakers can complete the process and finalize the bill.
Nevertheless, when JPMorgan analysts consider the timing of the bill, they conclude that constraints are tightening rather than easing. They argue that it is becoming increasingly difficult to pass and fully approve the crypto bill in time this year, especially with the midterm elections approaching. 
The analysts pointed to several factors that could slow progress, including the debate over stablecoin yields and the remaining legislative hurdles, such as the ethics provision related to President Trump’s links to the industry.

The post was brief: “I’m taking a break. TTYL.” Hoskinson gave no explicit explanation. But the timing points to a broader frustration that has been building around Cardano’s ecosystem funding, the shutdown of TapTools, and the practical consequences of Voltaire-era governance moving authority away from founding entities and toward on-chain decision-making.
TapTools Shutdown Puts Cardano Governance Under Pressure
TapTools, one of the most visible analytics and data platforms in the Cardano ecosystem, said it would wind down operations after nearly four years, citing a series of senior departures and rising operating costs. According to the platform, both co-founders, its chief operating officer and chief technology officer had already left earlier this year. A backend developer who stepped into the CTO role later also departed, leaving the company without technical capacity it said could not be replaced quickly enough to keep the platform running responsibly.
The shutdown clearly hit a nerve. In his livestream, Hoskinson warned that the second half of the year could bring further stress across Cardano DeFi.
“So this year is going to be very hard. The second half of the year for Cardano, we’re probably going to see more dApps in DeFi die and a consolidation happen. I’m not exactly sure what my role or place is to resolve this.”
His core argument was not that Cardano lacked resources, but that the network’s governance and funding architecture no longer gives him unilateral control over those resources. Hoskinson said he is often blamed for ADA’s market performance and ecosystem setbacks, while having no direct command over the treasury, protocol upgrades or brand infrastructure.
“You know, I keep getting criticized relentlessly online. People every single day post on my Twitter feed the price of ADA and blame me for it collapsing. And I’d really like to know, I just like to understand what my agency is here.”
Hoskinson Says He Lacks Control
The comments reflect a deeper tension in Cardano’s current phase. Cardano’s governance system was designed to shift control from founding entities to ADA holders, delegated representatives and other governance bodies. That structure gives the community more formal authority over treasury withdrawals and protocol decisions, but it also makes emergency coordination more difficult when key ecosystem companies are under pressure.
The same governance dynamic was visible days earlier when the Cardano Foundation canceled Cardano Summit 2026 in Singapore after its treasury funding proposal failed to reach the required two-thirds approval threshold. A revised request for roughly 7.8 million ADA received majority support but still fell short, while a smaller EMURGO proposal for a Cardano presence at TOKEN2049 Singapore was approved.
For Hoskinson, TapTools appears to have become a case study in the limits of founder influence after decentralization. He said the resources intended to grow and govern the ecosystem were assigned to separate entities, not to him personally.
“I don’t have any special powers with Cardano. I don’t have any governance keys. I don’t have any ability to even initiate a hard fork, much less a protocol parameter change. I don’t have access to the treasury. I don’t even own the trademark for the name Cardano.”
He continued: “All of the funding that was given for growing the ecosystem and governing the ecosystem was given to separate entities. And at the all-time high, it was billions of dollars. It was not given to me.”
The episode leaves Cardano facing an uncomfortable test. Its governance system is now powerful enough to reject major spending requests, including those from core ecosystem institutions. The harder question is whether it can also move quickly enough to preserve critical infrastructure during a market downturn without recreating the centralized dependency it was designed to remove.
At press time, ADA traded at $0.1886.

This comes as BTC extends its decline and is now at risk of falling to the February 2026 low of $60,000. 
Pundit Points To Bitcoin’s 4-Year Moving Average For Potential Bottom
In an X post, Livingston noted that Bitcoin’s 4-year moving average is right at $60,000 and that Bitcoin is only 22.75% above this moving average. He further remarked that historically, only about 18.5% of valid days had a lower deviation.  He added that about 81.5% of days were more expensive relative to the 4-year MA. 
Basically, the crypto pundit suggested that this 4-year moving average could mark the Bitcoin bottom in this cycle. Livingston noted that buying BTC when it was in the same cheap percentile band relative to the 4-year MA would have turned every $10,000 deployed into about $56,600, compared with about $40,200 from a daily DCA over the same window. He added that BTC at today’s 4-year MA percentile has historically been a high-quality accumulation zone. 
As such, Livingston suggested that it may be a good bet to start accumulating Bitcoin in this range, with $60,000 likely to serve as the bottom. It is worth noting that his comment comes as BTC appears set to drop back to $60,000. The leading crypto has witnessed a massive sell-off since the start of the week, falling from as high as $71,000. 
However, crypto analyst Bluntz predicted that Bitcoin would drop below $60,000 on this decline. He alluded to BTC’s daily close, indicating that there was no way that the leading crypto wouldn’t sweep $58,000. 
BTC In A Vulnerable Position
In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that the breakdown below $72,000 has put Bitcoin in a vulnerable position and that, based on the MVRV pricing bands, the next major area of support sits between $54,000 and $50,000. As such, BTC still risks dropping to as low as $50,000 in this market cycle. 
In another X post, Martinez pointed out how Bitcoin is facing significant selling pressure with 54,000 BTC moved to exchanges over the past week. He noted that this spike in available supply has increased the short-term selling pressure, which has driven the price to the lower $60,000. BTC is also facing selling pressure from the Bitcoin ETFs, which are currently on a 13-day streak of net outflows. 
At the time of writing, the BTC price is trading at around $63,600, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

SWIFT War Already Over, Or Are Banks Taking Another Route?</title><description><![CDATA[XRP and SWIFT are often presented as rivals in the race to modernize global payments, but a recent argument suggests otherwise. Rather than a winner-takes-all battle, the latest developments point toward a financial environment where traditional banking infrastructure and blockchain-based settlement systems operate side by side. That perspective raises an important question: is the long-running XRP versus SWIFT debate already outdated, or are banks quietly building a different model altogether?
XRP VS SWIFT: The Wrong Battlefield
To understand the argument, it is necessary to separate messaging from settlement. According to James Dula, much of the discussion surrounding SWIFT’s latest cross-border payments initiative misses a crucial distinction. While the network recently rolled out a single framework with over 50 banks, offering faster processing and better transaction tracking, its core function remains unchanged.
SWIFT functions as a communication layer between financial institutions. It transmits payment instructions, confirms transaction details, and coordinates activity across borders. However, sending a message is not the same as moving money. The actual transfer of value still requires a settlement mechanism capable of completing the transaction.
This distinction is why Dula argues that the latest announcement does not automatically place SWIFT in direct competition with XRP. In his view, the real challengers emerging from the blockchain sector are interoperability and messaging protocols such as Axelar, LayerZero, Wormhole, and Chainlink. These networks focus on transporting information and coordinating activity between systems, making them closer competitors to SWIFT’s communications role than XRP itself.
Viewed through that lens, the debate changes dramatically. Instead of asking whether SWIFT can replace XRP, the more relevant question becomes whether messaging networks and settlement assets should even be competing for the same position within the financial stack.
Banks Are Building Both Routes
That shift in perspective becomes even more significant when examining the institutions involved. Dula highlights that many of the banks participating in SWIFT’s new framework already maintain relationships with Ripple or have explored blockchain-based payment solutions linked to its ecosystem.
Major global names such as JPMorgan, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered, and Santander have all been associated with digital asset research, blockchain experimentation, or payment modernization efforts. Their involvement on multiple fronts suggests that financial institutions are not necessarily choosing one system while abandoning another.
Instead, banks appear increasingly interested in combining technologies that solve different problems. A messaging network can coordinate transactions, provide compliance information, and create standardized communication channels. A separate settlement layer can then handle the movement of value with greater speed and efficiency.
This emerging model challenges the idea of a direct war between XRP and SWIFT. Rather than replacing one another, both could occupy different positions within a broader financial architecture. 
The implication is clear. If Dula’s assessment is correct, the future of international payments may not be defined by a single victor. Instead, banks may be constructing a hybrid network where traditional infrastructure and digital asset technology work together, creating an entirely different route than many observers expected.

The structure puts the company closer to the capital-markets model popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, but with ETH rather than Bitcoin as the core reserve asset.
The Norwalk, Connecticut-based company said it intends to offer 3,000,000 shares of 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock in a public offering registered under the Securities Act. The preferred shares carry a stated amount of $100 per share, implying a potential $300 million stated-value issuance if sold at that level, though the company said the deal remains subject to market and other conditions.
BitMine Files Yield Offering As It Builds Ethereum Treasury
BitMine framed the proceeds broadly, but Ethereum sits at the center of the filing. The company said it intends to use net proceeds “for general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition of additional ETH and other digital assets; the expansion of the Company’s staking and validator infrastructure, including through MAVAN; working capital; strategic investments aligned with the Ethereum ecosystem and broader digital asset adoption; and/or repurchases of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program.”
BitMine has committed to ETH as its primary treasury reserve asset and says it is using native protocol-level activity, including staking and decentralized finance mechanisms, as part of that strategy. In 2026, the company launched MAVAN, or Made-in America VAlidator Network, as dedicated staking infrastructure for BitMine assets.
The comparison with Saylor’s Strategy comes from the financing mechanism. Strategy built its Bitcoin treasury model not only through common stock and convertible debt, but also through preferred equity products (STRC and STRF) designed to attract yield-oriented investors while raising capital for digital asset accumulation.
BitMine is now applying a similar template to Ethereum: issue a yield-bearing security in the public markets, use the proceeds flexibly, and route part of the capital toward a crypto treasury asset with institutional-market packaging around it.
The preferred stock itself is structured as a cash-paying instrument. BitMine said the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 9.50% per year on the $100 stated amount, whether or not dividends are declared or funds are legally available for payment. “Regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable when, as and if declared by BMNR’s board of directors, out of funds legally available for their payment, weekly in arrears,” the company said. “Declared regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable solely in cash.”
The filing also includes a penalty mechanism if dividends are not paid on schedule. Any unpaid accumulated regular dividend would itself begin accumulating additional dividends, compounded weekly. The compounded dividend rate initially equals 9.50% plus 5 basis points, based on a weekly regular dividend period, and increases by another 5 basis points for each subsequent period until paid in full, capped at 15% per year.
BitMine will retain redemption flexibility. The company can redeem the preferred stock in whole or in part for cash at 110% of stated amount during the first 18 months after issuance, 105% from 18 months to three years, and 100% after three years, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. It can also redeem all outstanding preferred shares if the total remaining falls below 25% of the original issuance, or if certain tax events occur.
Holders also receive protection in the event of a “fundamental change.” If such an event occurs under the certificate of designations, preferred shareholders can require BitMine to repurchase some or all of their shares for cash at the stated amount, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends.
BitMine has applied to list the preferred stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BMNP. If approved, the company expects trading to begin within 30 days after the shares are first issued. Moelis &amp; Company and Cantor are acting as joint lead bookrunners.
At press time, Ethereum traded at $1,793.

Charles Hoskinson Warns Of A “Wave Of Failures” — And His Own Community Is Furious</title><description><![CDATA[Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano and Input Output Global, sparked one of the most uncomfortable public debates in the blockchain&#8217;s history this week — warning in a video posted on YouTube that the second half of 2026 will bring a wave of project failures, forced consolidation, and DeFi shutdowns across the ecosystem, as ADA fell below $0.20 for the first time in more than five years.
The catalyst was the June 2 announcement by TapTools — Cardano&#8217;s most widely used analytics and infrastructure platform, serving over one million users and powering backend data for hundreds of Cardano-native token protocols across four years — that it will wind down operations within two weeks.
The closure follows the departure of five senior team members including both co-founders, the COO, the CTO, and a backend developer who had stepped into technical leadership after the founders left, per TapTools&#8217; official statement. Infrastructure costs, software development expenses, and support obligations had become impossible to sustain, the company said. TapTools added it remains open to acquisition discussions.
Hoskinson&#8217;s Warning — And The ADA Fallout
Responding in a video on the same day, Hoskinson framed TapTools&#8217; exit not as an isolated event but as a leading indicator of deeper ecosystem stress. A substantial portion of older Cardano projects are no longer in an investable state, he said — and the H2 2026 environment will force many into the same position.
He pointed to JX Door&#8217;s earlier collapse as a warning sign that went unheeded, and acknowledged that a treasury-funded index he had proposed to backstop struggling ecosystem projects never materialized. &#8220;I came up with the plan of an index. It did not get executed,&#8221; he said in the video, per the YouTube posting, placing partial responsibility on Cardano&#8217;s governance community for failing to act when opportunities were available.
Hoskinson subsequently posted on X that he is &#8220;taking a break&#8221; — three words that landed heavily given the timing.
The Community Fires Back
The response from prominent voices in the crypto community was swift and pointed. Andreas Svanevik (@ASvanevik), CEO of Nansen, addressed Hoskinson&#8217;s implicit question about what he could do to help directly: &#8220;It&#8217;s not about what he can do NOW,&#8221; Svanevik wrote on X. &#8220;The problem is he sold Cardano as something it never was. And people believed him. Now they will all suffer the consequences together.&#8221;
The post drew significant engagement and amplified a sentiment that had been building in the community for months — that Hoskinson&#8217;s long-standing promises about Cardano&#8217;s institutional potential and developer adoption had set expectations the network could not match. @Pledditor&#8217;s post on X added further community context to the criticism, reflecting frustration that had been building across ADA holders as the ecosystem continued to lose ground.
The Structural Picture
The numbers behind the debate are difficult to argue with. Cardano&#8217;s total value locked stands at approximately $123.85 million — placing it 28th by chain TVL on DeFiLlama, behind Stellar, NEAR, Aptos, and Mantle, and roughly two orders of magnitude below Ethereum&#8217;s $39.9 billion.
The 2026 Cardano Summit was canceled after the community voted down treasury funding. Engineering proposals for 2026 were cut to $46.8 million from $97.5 million the prior year. The van Rossem hard fork was postponed to allow further testing. ADA is currently trading at approximately $0.20 — its lowest level in more than five years.
The question Hoskinson&#8217;s own comments raise — whether Cardano can reverse a trajectory that its own founder is now publicly describing in near-apocalyptic terms — is one the ecosystem has no clean answer to heading into what he himself calls the hardest half of the year.

Even now, with the price seeing some recovery, it has remained muted, and there has not been any notable recovery in the price. With the second quarter coming to an end, a crypto analyst has outlined what investors can expect for the pioneer cryptocurrency, not just for this month, but for its performance through the end of the year 2026.
How Bitcoin Could Close The Second Quarter (Q2)
Pseudonymous crypto analyst Aralez shared their predictions for the last three quarters, and for the second quarter, the analyst takes a bearish stance. During this time, the crypto analyst predicts that both Bitcoin and the crypto market will see major downside.
For the stock market, the analyst sees the S&amp;P dropping to $7,400, and the Bitcoin price taking a similar route and dropping to $58,000, and the Ethereum price moving lower. Given that only this month is left of Q2, the analyst’s prediction would have to happen soon, triggering bearish sentiment in the market.
The Quarter That Begins The Change
Following the end of June, the crypto analyst sees better trends in the third quarter of the year. Firstly, Aralez predicts that the Bitcoin price will first enter into a capitulation phase. But this is not the end, as large players (whales) would continue to accumulate the cryptocurrency at this point.
With the Federal Reserve expected to ease off on interest rates, the analyst predicts a transition of volatility as the Fed changes its stance. Once these factors are met, the Bitcoin price is expected to hit a bottom in the third quarter, setting the stage for the last leg of the year.
A Major Bitcoin Surge To End The Year
To close out the year, Aralez predicts a major Bitcoin move. Following the bullish setup predicted to happen in the third quarter of the year, the bearish trend is expected to turn and move toward $100,000. This will happen among other catalysts that will drive crypto prices higher.
For one, the analyst predicts that the artificial intelligence (AI) narrative will dominate the scene. At the same time, crypto liquidity is expected to rise as more money flows back into crypto and investors are willing to take more risk. If this prediction plays out, then the Bitcoin price could be looking at an at least 30% increase by the time the year 2026 runs out.

Bitcoin Realized Loss Has Witnessed A Spike Recently
In its latest weekly report, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the loss-taking panic that has accompanied the latest drawdown in the Bitcoin price. The indicator of relevance here is the Realized Loss, which measures, as its name suggests, the total amount of loss that BTC investors are realizing through their transactions every day.
Below is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in this metric for Bitcoin over the past year.
From the graph, it&#8217;s visible that the Bitcoin Realized Loss has witnessed a sharp surge alongside the BTC price crash, indicating that investors have panic-exited the market at loss.
This isn&#8217;t anything unusual as capitulation tends to be a feature whenever the price goes down with a steep move; it&#8217;s apparent in the chart that the Realized Loss also spiked during the November and February crashes.
Compared to these two previous capitulation events, however, there are a couple of differences. The first and obvious one is the scale involved: the last two events saw loss-taking of a significantly higher level. This is naturally down to the fact that they involved price drawdowns of a larger degree.
The other difference is in the holder distribution. The last two capitulation events were dominated by short-term holders (STHs), investors who purchased their coins within the past 155 days.
These new market entrants also contributed to the latest event, but they didn&#8217;t account for the majority of the loss realization. Instead, long-term holders (LTHs) were the Bitcoin cohort driving the capitulation this time. These were the investors who bought prior to January 2026, at the highs of the 2025 bull market.
In total, the latest Realized Loss spike saw the indicator hit a value of $1.35 billion per day. Out of this, LTHs were responsible for $770 million of the daily loss-taking.
The analytics firm explained:
As the bear market matures, this pattern of long-term holder capitulation passing supply into new hands at lower prices is a recurring and necessary feature of cycle bottoming processes, though the current pace of loss realization suggests that process remains incomplete.
Another metric discussed by Glassnode in the report is the amount of liquidations in the futures market. The price plunge naturally caught out a large number of derivatives market traders, leading to a significant amount of long liquidations.
&#8220;Historically, large-scale long liquidations have coincided with local exhaustion points, as forced selling pressure cascades through derivatives markets and clears out weaker hands,&#8221; noted the analytics firm.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $65,500, down over 12% in the last seven days.

House Of Lords Outlines Concerns Over Stablecoin Rules
On Wednesday, the House of Lords’ Financial Services Regulation Committee published a report on the regulation of stablecoins, urging the Bank of England (BoE) to review some areas of its proposed rules “where the desired balance between supporting innovation and risk mitigation appears less appropriately calibrated.”
The committee affirmed its support for many of the central bank’s proposals, including the requirement that issuers back stablecoins 1:1 and the backstop lending facility. However, it noted that aspects of the proposals “need further consideration.&#8221;
Last year, the central bank proposed that systemic stablecoin issuers hold at least 40% of the reserves backing the token as unremunerated bank deposits to ensure “robust redemption” and “public confidence.”
It also suggested a temporary cap on stablecoin ownership, setting holding limits of £10,000 to £20,000 for individuals and £10 million for businesses. The measure resembled the BoE’s proposed approach to the digital pound, aiming to mitigate financial stability risks “stemming from large and rapid outflows of deposits from the banking sector.”
The policymakers consider that regulators should reevaluate the asset allocation and redemption requirements, citing the “considerable operational burdens this would create” and potential negative impact on the sustainability of stablecoin issuers and the UK’s global market competitiveness.
In addition, the report suggested that the holding limits should be reconsidered, arguing that they could unnecessarily hinder the expansion of pound-based stablecoins and prove impractical to implement.
It also shared concerns about the lack of clarity on the transition from the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) regime to joint regulation alongside the BoE, and the uncertainty surrounding HM Treasury’s plans to determine whether stablecoins are systemic and to bring them into the payments regulatory perimeter.
UK At Risk Of Falling Behind
The Committee affirmed that the shape of the pound-denominated stablecoin market will be “strongly influenced by the direction of the regulatory regime,” and authorities must “create a level playing field so that stablecoins can compete with other forms of payment in the UK.”
Therefore, the regime must be flexible, responsive, and clear to accommodate future innovations, or the UK will risk “lagging behind global counterparts, where regulatory regimes are more established and provide clarity for market participants.”
The House of Lords’ report follows pressure from industry participants and other lawmakers to fight the controversial proposals. In December, members of the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and peers sent a letter to Chancellor Rachel Reeves asking her to oppose the BoE’s stablecoin rules, arguing that they could undermine the government’s efforts to position the UK as an industry leader.
Last month, BoE’s Deputy Governor for financial stability, Sarah Breeden, stated that the central bank was preparing to ease its regulatory plans. As reported by Bitcoinist, Breeden admitted that the proposals may have been “overly conservative.” She also shared that the financial regulator was “genuinely open” to revisiting the rules and establishing a better regime in which stablecoins can thrive.
Ultimately, the committee urged regulators to adhere to current timelines and ensure that the final regulatory regime is not delayed. A BoE spokesperson told Reuters that the central bank will publish its final policy and draft rules later this month.

The speed of the decline was alarming — but XWIN Research Japan has published an on-chain analysis that looks beneath the price action and identifies signals that complicate the straightforward bearish reading the chart is currently delivering.
The analysis begins with a premise that frames everything that follows. In June 2026, price alone is insufficient for understanding Bitcoin&#8217;s market structure. The on-chain data beneath the surface contains signals that the price chart cannot express — and several of those signals are currently pointing in a direction that diverges from the two-day breakdown.
Exchange reserves continue declining — meaning investors are moving Bitcoin into long-term storage rather than positioning coins for sale. The supply available for immediate distribution is shrinking rather than growing, a dynamic that has historically been associated with reduced sell-side pressure rather than accelerating distribution.
The Stablecoin Supply Ratio adds a second constructive signal. Current levels suggest that significant buying power remains available on the sidelines — stablecoin capital that has not yet been deployed but exists as potential demand waiting for the market conditions that would trigger its return.
Two signals are pointing toward structural support while the price has just experienced its sharpest two-day decline in months. XWIN Research Japan&#8217;s analysis examines whether the on-chain data or the price action is telling the more accurate story about where Bitcoin goes from here.
Bullish Bitcoin Supply Conditions Meet Weak Demand
The XWIN Research Japan report introduces the honest caveat that prevents the constructive on-chain signals from being read as a clear recovery confirmation. The Coinbase Premium Index remains weak despite Bitcoin&#8217;s rebound from the breakdown lows. US institutional demand — the category of buyer whose return has historically been the most reliable precursor to sustained advances — has not yet appeared in the data. Exchange reserves declining and stablecoin buying power available are supply-side positives that require demand to activate them.
SOPR hovering near neutral describes a market neither aggressively taking profits nor capitulating into losses — a holding pattern that reflects limited confidence rather than building conviction. Open Interest cooling after its rapid May expansion reduces liquidation risk and creates a cleaner market structure for the next directional move, but cooling derivatives activity also removes the short squeeze fuel that has driven several of the recent recovery attempts.
MVRV continuing to rise without reaching historical overheating levels describes growing unrealized profitability across the holder base — constructive but not yet at the extreme readings that have preceded major tops.
The June picture the report assembles is deliberately balanced. Supply conditions are bullish. Demand conditions are insufficient. The gap between those two realities is what the market is currently navigating — and the specific indicators that will close it are ETF flows returning to positive territory, Coinbase Premium recovering above zero, SOPR building above 1 sustainably, and exchange reserves continuing their structural decline alongside rather than despite price weakness.
Bitcoin Weekly Structure Approaches A Critical Decision Point
Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows a market under significant pressure after losing the $72,000 support region that had defined the recovery attempt since March. The latest selloff has pushed BTC back toward the lower boundary of its multi-month trading range, placing the focus squarely on the $64,000-$66,000 support zone that has repeatedly attracted buyers throughout 2026.
The most important technical development is the rejection from the $78,000-$80,000 area. That failed breakout produced a lower high beneath the declining 50-week moving average and reinforced the broader bearish structure that has been in place since Bitcoin topped near $120,000 last year. Since then, the market has established a clear sequence of lower highs, while every recovery attempt has stalled below major resistance.
Despite the weakness, the current support region remains highly significant. The highlighted zone around $63,000-$66,000 served as the foundation of the February bottom and successfully launched the rally that followed. Bitcoin is now retesting that same area for the second time, making the reaction here critical for determining whether the market is forming a higher low or preparing for a deeper correction.
If bulls can defend this zone and reclaim $72,000, a recovery toward the mid-$70,000s becomes possible. Failure to hold above $64,000 would shift attention toward the rising 200-week moving average near $62,000 and potentially open the door to a much larger retracement phase. For now, Bitcoin remains at one of the most important support tests of the current cycle.

Stock Slides As Investors Grow Uneasy
MSTR shares dropped more than 9% on Tuesday, June 2, and are now down nearly 25% over the past month. The selloff reflects growing investor unease over whether the firm will sell more of its Bitcoin holdings after disclosing a small but symbolically significant liquidation last week.
Between May 26 and May 31, Strategy sold 32 BTC at an average price of $77,135 per coin, raising roughly $2.5 million. Proceeds from the sale are expected to go toward covering preferred stock obligations.

Saylor Breaks From Routine With Midweek Post
On Wednesday morning, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor posted &#8220;Back to Work&#8221; on X, accompanied by a gif showing him in a Bitcoin-themed setting. The post stood out because it came on a Wednesday rather than his usual Sunday, and it did not include the company&#8217;s well-known Bitcoin performance chart, sometimes called the &#8220;Orange Dots.&#8221;
Observers took the post as a signal that Strategy may be preparing to buy Bitcoin again. No announcement has been made.
Strategy also raised $128 million through MSTR share sales in the same period. Despite the recent activity, the company remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world, sitting on 843,706 BTC worth more than $56 billion.
Coinbase Transfer Adds To Speculation
Blockchain watchers recently spotted Strategy moving Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime, which added another layer of speculation about the company&#8217;s next move. Earlier, the firm used cash resources to repurchase $1.5 billion in convertible notes at a discount, a move that coincided with a pause in its Bitcoin buying streak that has yet to be reversed.
Saylor has long been the face of corporate Bitcoin accumulation, and any deviation from his playbook tends to draw attention fast. The June 3 post is no exception, even if its meaning remains unclear.

In a draft plan covering fiscal years 2026 to 2030, the SEC places digital assets at the center of its regulatory agenda and argues that the current approach needs modernization to keep pace with fast-moving market and technology changes.
SEC Pushes For Clearer Crypto Rules
In its draft framework, the SEC said the regulatory system will remain effective only if it is updated for today’s realities. The agency emphasized that regulators must modernize the rules to encourage innovation while preserving what it describes as core principles, including investor protection and market integrity. 
The SEC linked that need directly to developments in digital assets, distributed ledger technologies, and alternative trading platforms, noting that these technologies are reshaping how capital is raised and how securities are traded. 
A central objective in the SEC’s plan is to establish what it calls a firmer foundation for crypto assets and distributed ledger technologies, using what it describes as a rational, coherent, and principled approach. 
The commission argued that blockchain and crypto asset technologies could help transform America’s financial infrastructure. In the regulator’s view, they may deliver new “optionality,” along with potential efficiencies, lower costs, greater transparency, and improved risk mitigation for Americans. 
However, the SEC said the pace of growth in these areas has outstripped the existing regulatory framework, leaving innovators and market participants without enough legal clarity.
A More Modern Regulatory Framework
To address that gap, the SEC said a clearer framework is needed to reduce uncertainty around how securities laws apply to digital assets. It also pointed to the need to enable compliant capital formation through tokenized offerings and to support the development of on-chain financial infrastructure. 
The agency further stated that a modernized approach should help ensure that key services—such as custody, trading, and staking—can operate under the right level of oversight without facing duplicative requirements or conflicting rules.
The SEC also highlighted the importance of clarifying jurisdictional questions, particularly the lines of responsibility between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). 
The agency described this “harmonization” as an effort to ensure that crypto markets have clear and principled “rules of the road,” grounded in statute. In the SEC’s framing, the result should both encourage innovation and preserve a high level of investor protection. 
Cooperation is already in the making between the regulators: in March, the SEC and the CFTC signed a memorandum of understanding meant to strengthen coordination and information sharing as emerging technologies continue to influence financial markets.

The cryptocurrency dipped 4.5% on Wednesday to an intraday low of $65,700 before recovering to around $67,100.
US Spot Bitcoin Funds Under Pressure
The slide added to a weak stretch that began when bitcoin fell below $73,000 earlier this week. That move came after new US attacks on Iranian targets knocked away a brief sense of calm that had followed talk of a ceasefire.
The outflows have not been a one-day blip. Withdrawals from spot bitcoin funds reached $1.44 billion over the week, the heaviest weekly total of 2026, and the streak of daily losses stretched to 12 sessions.
Reports of missile strikes on the US 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain brought more heat into an already tense market. Crypto prices had already been reacting to the conflict’s wider effect on oil, inflation fears, and the outlook for interest-rate cuts.
War Headlines Keep Traders On Edge
Bitcoin’s drop is part of a larger unwind that has been building for months. The coin is now roughly 47% below its October 2025 peak of $126,000, and each new burst of fighting has helped trigger another wave of selling.
The damage has been sharp when leverage gets involved. Nearly $1 billion in borrowed crypto bets were wiped out in a 24-hour span during one strike weekend, and long positions accounted for 93% of those losses.
Oil has helped keep the pressure on. Brent crude climbed above $106 a barrel in mid-April 2026, a jump that fed worries about inflation and dimmed hopes for easier policy from the Federal Reserve.
The conflict has also spilled into diplomacy. Iran suspended ceasefire talks with the US after Israeli strikes in Lebanon, while US President Donald Trump said the talks were still continuing, even as Iranian state media gave a different account.
Charts Put $60,000 Back In View
Technical analysts are now focused on the next line of defense. An analyst said bitcoin has already lost the $72,000 and $68,000 levels, while a rounding-top pattern is adding to the case for more downside.
A close below $65,000 could leave $60,000 exposed. That level has become the one traders mention most often as the market tries to decide whether the recent drop is a pause or the start of a deeper slide.

How Blockchain Tools Tracked The Suspects
The second operation ran from April 16 to May 31, 2026, pulling in Coinbase, Coinhako, Gemini, Independent Reserve, OKX, StraitsX, and Upbit as partners. Blockchain analytics firms Chainalysis and TRM Labs supplied the investigative tools that allowed officers to trace suspicious wallet movements across multiple scam types, including government impersonation schemes, fake investment platforms, job scams, and romance fraud.
From those traces, authorities conducted more than 145 targeted interventions — some by phone, others through direct visits to potential victims. Exchanges assisted by handing over customer information on time, which let investigators reach people before any additional transfers were made.
The First Operation Stopped $2.86M
Singapore ran a pilot version of this effort between March 16 and April 15, 2026. That first run intercepted roughly $2.86 million, and the results of the two operations combined now total more than $7 million in blocked losses. The momentum continues. We’re proud to have once again supported the @SingaporePolice in a second joint anti-scam operation — this time, preventing more than $4.2 million in potential losses and reaching over 145 scam victims in just six weeks.

Officials said the outcome of the second operation reinforces the value of keeping law enforcement and the crypto industry working together. &#8220;The outcome of the second operation reaffirms the importance of sustained public-private partnerships in the fight against scams,&#8221; the Singapore Police Force said in a statement.
Singapore&#8217;s Wider Push Against Digital Crime
The crackdown fits into a larger enforcement push that Singapore has been building. A dedicated Cyber Command unit was announced in May 2026, set to begin operations in July, with a mandate covering cybercrime investigations, scam disruption, and cryptocurrency-related crime tracking.
The city-state has also moved against corporate misconduct in the crypto sector. Last week, Singapore prosecutors charged Zhu Juntao, the former CEO of collapsed crypto lender Hodlnaut, in connection with alleged false disclosures tied to the 2022 Terra ecosystem collapse.
Authorities said the combination of blockchain intelligence and real-time coordination with exchanges has become one of the most reliable ways to catch scams early and cut financial harm before it compounds. The police confirmed the operation was officially reported on June 2, 2026.

The signatories contend that without a clear federal framework, crypto-related activity could continue to move offshore into markets they describe as opaque—making it harder for US investigators to reach, monitor, and pursue financial crime. 
Key CLARITY Act Provisions
The Blockchain Association’s letter emphasizes that the CLARITY Act would expand law enforcement and financial crime prevention capabilities across the digital asset ecosystem. 
It highlights several enforcement-focused measures aimed at improving detection, coordination, and accountability. Among the key provisions described are strengthened anti-illicit finance obligations, including expanded Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and sanctions requirements. 
The letter also mentions information sharing led by the Treasury with the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the private sector. 
The group further argues that the bill would bolster safeguards for digital asset kiosks, citing requirements meant to improve oversight. Those include transaction monitoring and reporting duties, transaction limits, anti-fraud provisions, and dedicated law enforcement points of contact. 
The Blockchain Association says these tools are particularly important for seniors and other Americans who are frequently targeted by scams, and it frames the measures as enforcement enhancements rather than reductions in regulation.
“These are not deregulatory measures,” the letter says, describing the proposal instead as a way to improve visibility, coordination, compliance, and accountability across digital asset markets. 
The Road Ahead
To reinforce that message, the Blockchain Association is also set to host a virtual town hall on Thursday focused on how the legislation supports law enforcement and national security. 
The event is expected to include participation from Senator Cynthia Lummis, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and Patrick Witt, the White House Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets.
Amid the group’s call, momentum for the CLARITY Act has already been built. After the Agriculture Committee markup successfully approved its portion of the bill back in January, the bill’s Agriculture Committee portion also advanced. With those steps completed, a full Senate vote is expected this summer.
Even if the CLARITY Act clears the Senate, the legislation would still face a second major hurdle: approval by the House. The House has previously acted on a version of the bill, passing a different draft last fall. 
As a result, the final Senate text may need additional reconciliation with the House’s earlier version before it can move forward.

Given the heightened volatility, BTC is starting to experience a notable rise in market stress, which is evidenced by increased realized losses and sharp transfers of coins into multiple cryptocurrency exchanges across the sector.
Exchange Inflows And Recent Buyers Realized losses Jumps
Bitcoin’s sharp price drop has triggered a shift in its market dynamics as investors react to the increasing market stress around the asset. Following the downside performance, BTC is beginning to see a rise in several key areas, such as realized losses and crypto exchange inflows.
In a post shared on the X platform, Darkfost, a market expert and CryptoQuant’s verified author, highlighted that the Realized Losses among Short-Term Holders have risen sharply. At the same time, a massive wave of coins has been seen being moved to crypto exchanges, indicating a potential selling activity.
The combination raises the possibility that many recent purchasers are giving up in the face of ongoing price volatility and moving their coins to exchanges where they can easily sell them off. Spikes in exchange deposits and realized losses have historically been strongly linked to times of increased anxiety and investor repositioning.
This panic is already spreading among short-term Bitcoin holders, largely attributed to the US-Iran war. Since Iran’s announcement earlier this week about possible negotiations had broken down due to a ceasefire violation, BTC’s price has fallen roughly 7.5% s of the time of the post.
Darkfost stated that this correction is pushing the most recent investors into a zone of doubt and distress that some are unable to bear, forcing them to exit the market. As a result, the number of BTC sent to crypto exchanges over the last 24 hours has exploded, recording inflows of over 38,000 BTC. 
Data shows that the majority of these BTC were sent to crypto exchanges at a loss, which implies surging realized losses. Over the past 24 hours, BTC short-term holders moved more than 35,000 BTC to exchanges at a loss. These inflows were highly observed on the leading exchange, Binance, with hourly inflow spikes on the platform sometimes reaching between 1,500 and 4,000 BTC.
Such a trend highlights the extreme reactivity and sensitivity some investors are experiencing as BTC steadily trades in a sideways phase since the beginning of the year. Nonetheless, the development may lead to deeper weakness or trigger a market reset that would play a role in shaping renewed demand in the near term.
Bitcoin Whales Are Exhibiting Optimism
Despite the ongoing bearish price action, Bitcoin&#8217;s large holders are still showing signs of optimism and growing interest in the leading asset. Data from Santiment, an on-chain data analytics platform, reveals a rise in activity among whales to their most active levels in the past 6 weeks.
As BTC’s price dipped as low as $70,011, the BTC network saw the most transactions valued at $100,000 or more since April 22, 2026. When this kind of value in Bitcoin is being moved, it is often considered a strong sign of whale accumulation.

The setup was initially noted by crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade on X, who argued that DOGE is now sitting at a critical resistance zone where previous rallies have failed. Dogecoin has visited this price zone only twice in the past decade, and each visit ended the same way. 
The Pattern That Has Defined DOGE Since 2015
Trader Tardigrade&#8217;s long-term Dogecoin chart shows DOGE trading inside a massive descending broadening channel that has shaped price action for years. This channel has shaped Dogecoin&#8217;s price action for over a decade now, with two clearly defined red trendlines that widen progressively as time passes.
As shown in the chart below, Dogecoin previously rallied into the upper resistance of this channel in 2017 and in 2020, and both moves ended with strong rejections followed by deep corrections. Now, in 2026, Dogecoin has returned to that same overhead structure for a third time and looks like it is about to reject again. As noted by Trader Tardigrade, this is where we dump Dogecoin.
Dogecoin has already dropped by 8% over the last three days, a decline that came shortly after DOGE tested that major resistance area, making the pattern a strong warning.
Real Message Behind The Inverted Chart
Trader Tardigrade&#8217;s chart presents DOGE/USD on the monthly timeframe, but the price scale is flipped. This means the lower the chart moves, the higher Dogecoin is actually moving in normal market price. Therefore, the red descending line labeled as critical resistance is not a bearish ceiling in the conventional sense, but a bullish line on an inverted chart, and a rejection from it sends the price directly into an upward movement in real terms.
In each of the two previous cases, the 2017 cycle and the 2021 cycle, a rejection from that inverted resistance was followed by a large move downward on the inverted chart, meaning a large rally upward on the normal DOGE chart. 
Therefore, the current price action should be looked at as a return to support instead, and the analyst is expecting a bounce to higher price levels. Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.0937, which places it squarely within a support range between $0.09 and $0.10.
A move above $0.10 and into the $0.15 to $0.18 range would be the first indication that sentiment around DOGE is beginning to improve. However, the stronger signal would come from a break above $0.25, as that would make it clearer that DOGE is bouncing from the support structure.
Interestingly, the inverted chart’s structure leaves room for a move into double-digit price targets before Dogecoin reaches the next major trendline.

The payments giant said Wednesday that it plans to expand its settlement capabilities with intraday, weekend and holiday settlement options, as well as on-chain card settlement using regulated stablecoins. The move is designed to give Mastercard partners more flexibility in how and when they settle transactions across its global payments network, with particular relevance for cross-border payments, treasury operations and payouts.
Ripple Scores Mastercard Settlement Role
For Ripple, the key development is the inclusion of RLUSD among the stablecoins Mastercard plans to support. According to the announcement, Mastercard will enable settlement using Circle’s USDC, Paxos-issued stablecoins including PYUSD, USDG and USDP, Ripple’s RLUSD and SoFi’s SoFiUSD. These assets will be supported across a range of blockchain networks, including Arbitrum, Base, Canton, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Tempo and the XRP Ledger.
The announcement places RLUSD inside one of the most closely watched institutional use cases for stablecoins: settlement. Rather than positioning stablecoins primarily as trading instruments or exchange liquidity tools, Mastercard is framing them as part of the back-end financial infrastructure that can support faster money movement between issuers, acquirers and merchants.
“The next phase of stablecoin adoption is about real-world utility, especially in settlement, where timing and liquidity matter most,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president for Blockchain and Digital Assets at Mastercard. “By introducing intraday and weekend on settlement options across our global network, we’re expanding how partners manage liquidity and operate in an always-on digital economy while maintaining the trust, resilience and safeguards they expect from Mastercard.”
Mastercard said the stablecoin settlement option will sit alongside existing processes, rather than replace them. The company described the expansion as a “network-level enhancement” intended to preserve existing security standards, fraud safeguards and dispute processes while adding digital asset-based settlement as another choice for partners.
Initial support is expected from ARQ, formerly known as DolarApp, CBW Bank, Cross River, Lead Bank and Nuvei, with early focus on the United States and Latin America. Mastercard said further expansion is planned through 2026, subject to regulation, with additional regions, partners and regulated stablecoins expected over time.
Ripple framed the inclusion of RLUSD as validation for regulated stablecoins built for institutional payment flows. Jack McDonald, Ripple’s senior vice president of stablecoins, said Mastercard’s move into on-chain settlement marks “a landmark validation that blockchain technology is ready for the world’s most critical payment infrastructure.”
“RLUSD’s inclusion in Mastercard’s global settlement network reflects growing demand for trusted, regulated stablecoins built for real-world financial use cases on public blockchains like the XRP Ledger,” McDonald added. “We’re excited to support the next evolution of faster, more flexible, always-on settlement.”
Other stablecoin issuers and banking partners echoed that view, focusing on liquidity management and the limits of traditional settlement windows. Circle’s chief commercial officer Kash Razzaghi said demand is growing for infrastructure that can operate beyond banking hours, while Cross River’s Luca Cosentino said stablecoins have emerged as “a powerful tool” for faster and more transparent settlement.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.24.

While SOL’s price has fallen sharply lately, bullish momentum is returning, and the monthly perpetual futures volume is experiencing one of its most significant growths ever.
Monthly Perps Volume on Solana Surges Past Previous Peak
Solana is experiencing sharp growth in some crucial areas even while the altcoin has fallen strongly, with its price retesting the $75 support level. In areas such as the derivatives market, SOL has reached a new landmark, breaking past previous record levels in monthly perpetual futures volume.
David Alexander, a crypto pundit, reported that SOL has shattered its previous monthly perpetual futures volume record by processing over $76.7 billion in May 2026 alone. This figure represents approximately 34% increase above the previous high of $57 billion set in November 2025. 
The spike indicates a significant uptick in speculative activity and trader engagement throughout the Solana ecosystem, highlighting the network&#8217;s expanding impact on the cryptocurrency trading space. After this notable growth, the perps volume is now showing a 97% rise in month-over-month. 
A rise to a new high in this metric is typically seen as an indication of heightened market interest, more liquidity, and more active participation from institutional and retail players. “Perhaps more interestingly, is what&#8217;s being built underneath,” Alexander stated. As the market evolves, perps are quietly becoming one of the most important financial primitives, both within the on-chain economy and extending into the legacy financial system. 
Currently, the battle for dominance has become more intense than ever before. Meanwhile, Solana is portraying itself as the only network with actual price discovery powered by two-sided flow and 100% on-chain execution, as opposed to off-chain or synthetic matching.
This implies that each order, oracle update, match, cancellation, and settlement occurs on-chain. However, SOL perps in the next generation are resolutely designed to route revenue back to the network at the protocol level from launch.
A Massive Surge In Stablecoin Activity On The SOL Network
The Solana network is receiving fresh attention due to a significant increase in stablecoin activity, which highlights its expanding role as a hub for on-chain liquidity and digital finance transactions. Zensei, a market researcher, stated that the network’s stablecoin activity continues to operate at a scale most networks can only dream of.
In a one-week time frame, the SOL network processed over $79.9 billion in stablecoin transaction volume. Billions of dollars are seen being moved within the network every single day, indicating robust network health and economic participation. “When people choose to move money on-chain, the numbers keep showing they choose Solana,” Zensei added.
Users increasingly turning to SOL for payments, trading, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) points to rising interest and demand for fast and low-cost transfers, which the network seems to offer.

With SOL currently struggling below $100 and facing persistent bearish pressure, the analyst has outlined two possible scenarios that could determine the cryptocurrency’s next moves.
Analyst Predicts Two Possible Scenarios For The Solana Price
In a recent X post, market expert Crypto Tice said that the Solana price now has only two possible paths after slipping below a key support level that drove its 2022-2023 bull rally. At the time, SOL’s price had held onto the level before exploding to new all-time highs. 
The analyst noted that the same pattern appeared to be forming again almost perfectly during this cycle. However, instead of holding the key level as it did in the past cycle, SOL deviated from the historic chart pattern by slipping below it. Against this backdrop, Crypto Tice has projected Solana’s next moves.   
According to the analyst, if Solana manages to reclaim the broken historic level, it could reignite its bullish momentum and drive its price toward $250. Such a move would signal that buyers are stepping back in to regain control and that the market has resumed following the historic path seen during the 2022-2023 cycle. Based on Solana&#8217;s current price near $75, a rally to $250 would represent a gain of more than 233%, offering significant upside if the bullish scenario plays out as expected.
On the flip side, Crypto Tice warns that if the recent breakdown is accepted and Solana fails to reclaim the support level, the cryptocurrency’s price could crash to new lows. In this case, bulls could be trapped for an extended period as a larger correction potentially unfolds. With SOL’s price already down 10% this past week and over 5% in the past 24 hours, a continued decline could intensify selling pressure and deepen its weakness. 
 At the same time, Crypto Tice has warned that the next candle will be critical in deciding SOL&#8217;s short-term direction. He said he is now closely watching price action for any signs of recovery or further weakness.
SOL Continues Heavy Bearish Streak
Despite many analysts keeping a positive outlook on Solana, the cryptocurrency remains in a strong bearish trend. Market analyst Crypto Patel noted that Solana has just printed eight consecutive red monthly candles, indicating a prolonged slump.
He called this move historical, noting it&#8217;s the first time Solana has faced such a long bearish streak since its launch. During the 2021 cycle, SOL had around nine red monthly candles, but they were not consecutive. Patel added that after the previous bearish phase ended and the price hit a bottom, Solana surged quickly to near its all-time high of $295.
Based on this pattern, Crypto Patel suggested that if history repeats, Solana could see a sharp rebound after the ninth red candle, potentially climbing to the $500 &#8211; $1,000 range once it prints a ninth red candle and it hits a bottom.

Over the past few months, Ethereum has been in a slump, with its price falling below key support levels and underperforming the broader market. Meanwhile, Solana has seen its fair share of declines, plummeting by over 10% this past week. Despite the weakness across both assets, the analyst still picks Ethereum over Solana, citing ETH’s bullish drivers beyond price action and market trends. 
Why Ethereum Is A Better Investment Than Solana
Emperor Osmo, a market analyst on X has presented a compelling case for why Ethereum remains a stronger bet than Solana despite ETH crashing more than 9.5% in the past week to trade near $1,870 at the time of writing. The analyst said he understands why many market participants and investors have turned bearish on the ETH price, pointing to weak price structure and declining network fees.
Osmo noted that Ethereum&#8217;s fee revenue has fallen sharply, while Solana continues to close the gap. According to him, Solana has generated about $3.859 billion in annual app fees compared to Ethereum&#8217;s $3.868 billion. The difference now stands at only $9 million after years of ETH maintaining a dominant lead. 
The analyst also highlighted that Solana&#8217;s app fees are growing by roughly 9.5% per month, while ETH;s are declining by about 6.4%. Despite these trends, the analyst believes one key metric continues to support Ethereum&#8217;s long term bullish outlook. He revealed that the second largest cryptocurrency is currently sitting on about $161.8 billion in stablecoins, representing roughly 50.7% of all stablecoin value onchain.
Osmo also pointed to growing institutional interest in Ethereum&#8217;s ecosystem. He noted that BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, recently filed permissioned ERC-20 treasury products on Ethereum, picking the ETH blockchain above all others. 
In addition, the analyst referenced projections from the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, that the stablecoin market could eventually grow to $3 trillion by 2030. Based on those figures, Osmo argued that if Ethereum maintains its substantial stablecoin market share, more than $1.5 trillion in value could eventually be anchored to the network. 
As a result, he believes that even if ETH&#8217;s current price reflects concerns around slowing fees and weak market structure, it does not represent its potential value backed by stablecoin growth and long term network retention.
Analyst Outlines Bull, Base, And Bear Case Scenarios For ETH
In an accompanying chart, Osmo mapped out bull, base, and bear case scenarios for Ethereum if it captures a significant slice of institutional stablecoin AUM. The analyst frames ETH&#8217;s potential upside against a projected $3 trillion stablecoin market, with retention hinging on whether the blockchain can ship what institutions need.
His bull case projects tokenized funds driving a 2,400% surge in ETH&#8217;s circulating asset market cap by December 2029. The base case puts that figure at 1,150%, while even the bear case holds upside at 400%.

Lummis Hits Back At JPMorgan CEO</title><description><![CDATA[Pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon have become key figures in the latest debate over the CLARITY Act as the bill advances in the Senate.
Speaking to CNBC on Wednesday, Lummis directly addressed Dimon’s latest comments regarding the CLARITY Act and his criticism of Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. 
Lummis Pushes Back On Dimon’s CLARITY Act Criticism
Dimon, a longtime skeptic of crypto, has previously questioned the role of digital assets in financial markets, and his criticism last week included the view that banks would not accept the CLARITY Act in its current form. 
Dimon suggested that the banking industry would resist the bill as written and framed the confrontation as something that would be “fought.” He also said no one would “bow down” to Armstrong or his company.
Lummis, however, said Dimon’s critique is “absolutely wrong.” In her remarks on Wednesday, she argued that Dimon has not read the legislation. 
The Senator specifically challenged the executive&#8217;s comments about the bill’s anti-money laundering (AML) requirements and how it treats software developers. In her view, Dimon’s description of the CLARITY Act does not match what is actually in the text.
Dimon has argued that the proposed CLARITY Act, along with crypto stablecoins, does not provide sufficient AML and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) safeguards. He suggested that if crypto firms perform functions similar to banks, then they should be held to the same standards as traditional financial institutions. 
Lummis disagreed with that framing, saying the approach is incorrect because the legislation does, in fact, build on existing requirements that already apply to banks.
To support that point, Lummis said the CLARITY Act contains more than 1,600 references to AML and BSA provisions, and that those requirements would continue applying to digital-asset activities under the bill’s structure. 
Next Steps For Crypto Bill Package
Beyond responding to Dimon’s criticism, Lummis discussed what comes next for the CLARITY Act as it moves toward final consideration by the full Senate. 
She said the Senate is working toward combining different components of the overall package—specifically, merging the CLARITY Act’s US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related provisions with commodity market elements developed through the Senate Agriculture Committee. 
Lummis also said that lawmakers are planning revisions to the country’s first crypto bill, the GENIUS Act, which governs stablecoins, as well as to ethics-related provisions, to present a unified bill to the floor.
The Senator disclosed she has been coordinating with other senators, including Bill Hagerty, Angela Alsobrooks, and Thom Tillis, as part of an effort to assemble the final package.

The breakdown is significant — and a CryptoOnchain analysis has identified a structural divide in the on-chain data that explains the current weakness in a way that is more nuanced than straightforward selling pressure.
The divide sits between Ethereum&#8217;s illiquid and liquid supply layers — and they are moving in opposite directions simultaneously. The staking ecosystem continues expanding, with over 32.5% of total ETH supply now committed to validator infrastructure — approximately 39.5 million ETH locked in staking contracts. That record commitment reflects a cohort of long-term holders whose conviction has not wavered despite the price decline.
Against that growing illiquid base, the liquid trading layer is contracting. Exchange reserves are declining. The Coinbase Premium Index remains deeply negative relative to its 90-day average — confirming that US institutional spot demand has not returned to absorb the supply that is reaching the market. Median on-chain transfer value has fallen approximately 96% below the 90-day baseline — a near-complete withdrawal of the smaller, routine transaction activity that characterizes a healthy and engaged network.
The picture CryptoOnchain assembles is not one of panic selling. It is one of structural disengagement — and the Binance stablecoin netflow data averaging -$64 million per day confirms that the purchasing power needed to reverse that disengagement is draining rather than building.
32 Million ETH Staked and Locked
The CryptoOnchain analysis adds the derivatives dimension that prevents the current weakness from being read as a simple bearish confirmation. Binance funding rates have surged more than 3,700% above their 90-day average while open interest has increased nearly 9% — readings that would typically suggest aggressive bearish speculation building into a declining price. The short liquidation data contradicts that interpretation entirely. Short liquidations across exchanges have fallen 85% and remain near zero.
That absence is the signal. Distribution phases and aggressive bearish cycles typically feature elevated short activity as traders pile into positions betting against weakening prices. The current environment shows the opposite — funding rates elevated and open interest rising without the short liquidation activity that would confirm bearish speculation is driving the move. The weakness appears to be genuine spot selling rather than derivatives-driven pressure.
The structural conclusion the analysis reaches follows from the combined picture. Ethereum is entering a phase where its staked and illiquid supply is becoming increasingly detached from short-term market behavior. With more than one-third of the total supply removed from active circulation and the liquid market continuing to contract, the available float for trading is shrinking.
If spot selling pressure exhausts itself without triggering a derivatives liquidation cascade — which the near-zero short liquidation data suggests remains possible — the ongoing contraction in liquid supply creates the conditions historically associated with sharper and more constrained market responses to returning demand.
Ethereum Price Tests Major Support After Losing $2,000
Ethereum remains under significant pressure after decisively losing the psychological $2,000 level and breaking below the cluster of moving averages that had supported the recovery throughout April and May. The daily chart shows a clear deterioration in market structure, with ETH now trading near $1,885 after briefly dipping toward the $1,800 support zone.
The most important development is the rejection from the $2,250-$2,350 resistance region. That area capped every recovery attempt during the past two months and ultimately triggered the current decline. Since then, ETH has fallen below both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, while the 200-day moving average near $2,500 continues to trend lower, confirming that the broader trend remains bearish.
The $1,800-$1,850 zone is now the critical area to watch. This region acted as a major accumulation range following the February capitulation event and is currently attracting buyers again, as evidenced by the long lower wick and rebound visible on the latest candle. However, volume has not expanded significantly during the bounce, suggesting that conviction remains limited.
If bulls can defend this support and reclaim $2,000, Ethereum could attempt another move toward the $2,200 area. Failure to hold above $1,800 would invalidate the current range structure and expose the market to a deeper retracement toward levels not seen since the first quarter. For now, ETH remains locked in a decisive battle between long-term support and persistent selling pressure.

Six regulated crypto and stable coins are supported in the initial rollout: Circle&#8217;s USDC, PayPal&#8217;s PYUSD, Paxos-issued USDG and USDP, Ripple&#8217;s RLUSD, and SoFi&#8217;s SoFiUSD. Settlement will operate across eight blockchain networks — Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, the XRP Ledger, Canton, and Tempo — per the official announcement.
ARQ (formerly DolarApp), CBW Bank, Cross River, Lead Bank, and Nuvei are among the first partners to support stablecoin settlement optionality, with the initial rollout targeting the United States and Latin America before broader expansion through 2026.
What Changes For Crypto — And What Doesn&#8217;t
The announcement is a settlement-layer development, not a consumer-facing product shift. Issuers and acquirers on Mastercard&#8217;s network can now choose to settle card-based transactions using regulated stablecoins on-chain rather than through traditional banking rails — or continue using existing fiat processes. Both options run in parallel. No cardholder needs to change how they pay.
What changes is the back-end infrastructure that clears and finalizes transactions between merchants, banks, and payment processors. That infrastructure can now operate on blockchain networks around the clock — removing the dead zones created by banking hours, weekend closures, and public holidays that have been a structural friction point in global payments for decades, per Mastercard&#8217;s press release.
Raj Dhamodharan, Mastercard&#8217;s Executive Vice President for Blockchain and Digital Assets, described the enhancement as expanding how partners manage liquidity while operating in an always-on digital economy, per the announcement. Ripple SVP Jack McDonald called it a landmark validation that blockchain technology is ready for the world&#8217;s most critical payment infrastructure, per Benzinga&#8217;s reporting of his statement.
This development marks a pivotal and historic moment for the nascent sector. The world&#8217;s second-largest card network opening its global settlement rails to six regulated stablecoins across eight blockchains — not as a pilot, not as a proof of concept, but as a live network-level enhancement — is the clearest institutional validation the stablecoin economy has received to date.

He also explained why BTC is likely to set new lows over the coming months before potentially bottoming in this bear cycle. 
Analyst Who Predicted The Bitcoin Crash Reveals What’s Next
In an X post, Tony stated that Bitcoin crashed from $82,000 for a reason, as the 200 MA has always been an important resistance level during bear markets. He also pointed to the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci levels, where BTC was trading at. As for what’s next, the analyst indicated that Bitcoin is likely to decline further, noting a high probability it will set a new low during the summer months. 
He also pointed to an alternative trap scenario where Bitcoin sees a fake breakout above $85,000 to lure retail traders in, followed by the same dump and a break to new lows. Whatever scenario plays out, Tony noted, it will not change the fact that BTC is in a bear cycle and will make new lows this year. 
His accompanying chart showed that Bitcoin could still drop to around $50,000 by July, and also signaled that BTC could decline below $40,000 before it bottoms in this cycle. Meanwhile, in another X post commenting on the current price action, Tony noted that BTC has broken the ascending channel and is trading below the Ichimoku Cloud, a bearish signal. 
Tony said that he is expecting a bounce from the $67,000 region into the $74,000 area, followed by a move to make new lows below $60,000. He further remarked that the bear trap is likely over and that the main trend is still down, which is why he expects new lows this year. He added that short-term bounces are possible, but a bull market is unlikely to happen anytime soon. 
A Short-Term Bounce Could Occur Around This Region
In an X post, crypto analyst Colin stated that the range between $65,000 and $66,000 appears to be a reasonable support level for a short-term bounce. He noted that the bounce duration could be for weeks or a couple of months. However, the analyst added that BTC retesting $60,000 is still highly likely and that breaking low this year is still a possibility. 
Colin stated that the February low of $60,000 is unlikely to be Bitcoin&#8217;s bottom in this bear cycle. He explained that BTC has always suffered losses of over 70% in past bear cycles, but the leading crypto has yet to record such a loss in this cycle from its October high of $126,000. 
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $66,300, down over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The June 2 livestream marked one of Hoskinson’s sharpest public interventions on Cardano’s current governance and commercialization debate. Responding to TapTools’ shutdown statement, the Cardano founder framed the episode not as an isolated project failure, but as a symptom of deeper funding, coordination and incentive problems inside the ecosystem.
TapTools, a widely used Cardano data, analytics and discovery platform, said it had become difficult to responsibly keep operating after the departure of multiple senior team members. According to the statement read by Hoskinson, two co-founders, including the CTO and COO, had left earlier this year. A back-end developer had stepped into the CTO role, but that person has now also decided to move on.
“The technical knowledge required to responsibly operate and maintain TapTools cannot be replaced overnight,” the team said. “At the same time, the economics of running a platform like this remain challenging. Infrastructure costs are real. Development costs are real. Support costs are real.”
TapTools said it had served more than one million users, supported hundreds of projects through its API, published hundreds of articles, generated hundreds of millions of social impressions and helped bring visibility to builders across Cardano. The team said it would remain open to acquisition talks or other resources that could allow the platform to continue sustainably.
Hoskinson Says More Cardano Projects Could Follow
Hoskinson said TapTools had been part of his “daily ritual” and argued that its exit reflected a problem he had warned about earlier in the year: ecosystem projects running out of runway in poor market conditions.
“This is where we’re at as an ecosystem,” Hoskinson said. “I said at the beginning of the year, we’re going to see a lot of people collapse because the markets are really bad and we need some way to bail out our ecosystem and get them the lifeblood that they need to get to the next level.”
He pointed to JPEG Store and TapTools as examples of projects already affected, adding that he expects more failures in the second half of the year. “I would suspect others are coming very soon,” he said. “There’s going to be a wave of failures in the ecosystem.”
Hoskinson said he had previously proposed several mechanisms to address the issue, including a Cardano sovereign wealth fund, an ecosystem index and strategic acquisitions. He argued that these ideas either failed to gain sufficient support or were criticized as attempts to centralize the ecosystem. He cited his acquisitions of Nami and Blockfrost as examples of infrastructure he had tried to preserve and commercialize, while saying similar interventions often drew backlash.
The broader frustration, according to Hoskinson, is that Cardano governance has not yet produced an effective mechanism for deploying treasury resources into commercial infrastructure. He said Draper had received a large amount of ADA, but suggested that venture capital funding would likely flow mostly into new ventures rather than distressed existing platforms that may not be in an investable state.
Governance, Treasury And Commercialization
Hoskinson repeatedly rejected the idea that he has unilateral control over Cardano’s direction. He said he does not have governance keys, cannot initiate a hard fork or protocol parameter change, does not control the treasury and does not own the Cardano trademark.
“I’d really like to understand what my agency is here,” he said. “I don’t have any special powers with Cardano. I don’t have any governance keys. I don’t have any ability to even initiate a hard fork, much less a protocol parameter change.”
The livestream then turned into a wider critique of Cardano’s political culture. Hoskinson accused parts of the ecosystem of opposing commercialization while also blaming leadership when commercial infrastructure fails. He directed much of his message at DReps and delegators, arguing they need to evaluate whether their representatives are enabling growth or blocking it.
“You need to pick a leader. You need to pick a vision. You need to pick a strategy and fix it,” Hoskinson said. “You need to or you cannot and let it die. That’s your choice.”
He also floated more extreme options, including constitutional changes, treasury reform, changes to executive function and, at the outer edge, a new Cardano launched through a proof-of-burn mechanism. Hoskinson described that as the “nuclear option,” while presenting it as one of several possible responses if the current governance structure cannot support builders.
At press time, ADA traded at $0.2177.

Built-In Controls Come Into Focus
WLFI rejected those allegations, saying it applies strict anti-money laundering and identity checks and turned away millions of dollars during its presale process. But the project&#8217;s admission that its smart contracts carry hard-coded powers to freeze, restrict, or burn wallet balances put those claims under a new kind of scrutiny — one that sits uneasily with the DeFi branding the project has leaned on.
The compliance warning published on X on Tuesday was direct. World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture linked to US President Donald Trump, told users that transfers involving sanctioned individuals, organizations, or wallet addresses may be delayed, restricted, or rejected. The company said the controls exist to meet regulatory requirements around prohibited transactions.
As a reminder, and in light of recent sanctions updates, World Liberty Financial maintains risk-based sanctions compliance controls designed to support applicable legal and regulatory obligations across relevant jurisdictions. Transactions involving sanctioned persons, entities,…
— WLFI (@worldlibertyfi) June 3, 2026
The notice landed the same day the US Treasury Department moved against several Iranian cryptocurrency platforms. The Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Nobitex — Iran&#8217;s largest crypto exchange — along with Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex, and named executives connected to those platforms.
Treasury Secretary Bessent said Nobitex processed transactions tied to Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and helped move funds even after US military operations disrupted the country&#8217;s communications infrastructure earlier this year.
The Geopolitical Pressure Behind The Warning
While Iran&#8217;s economy is in free fall, the regime has chosen to co-opt digital asset technologies for its own corrupt agenda, including evading sanctions and transferring wealth out of the country, Bessent said. He called the crackdown proof that Trump&#8217;s maximum pressure campaign had been working.
WLFI told users to check that their funds and wallet addresses have no connection to prohibited activity before making any transfers. The project said it will keep reviewing transactions for sanctions-related risks going forward.
The compliance posture runs into some friction with how the project has been described publicly. While the underlying smart contracts operate on public, decentralized rails, the application layer is bound by federal rules on prohibited transactions.
Reports indicate that anchor investor Justin Sun had flagged the protocol&#8217;s unilateral enforcement capabilities — the same controls WLFI is now pointing to as evidence of its compliance readiness.

The timing places XRP’s history and Ripple’s policy ambitions side by side, at a moment when US digital asset regulation remains a central issue for the industry.
XRP Celebrates 14 Years
David Schwartz, Ripple’s former chief technology officer and one of the most visible architects associated with the XRP Ledger, framed the anniversary as a broader community milestone rather than a founder-centric celebration.
“14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone. And by ‘us,’ I don’t just mean the three of us. I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.”
Schwartz closed the post with a simple message: “Happy Birthday, XRP!” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoed the sentiment, writing that “14 years later” it was “still the honor of a lifetime to be part of the XRP family.”
The anniversary refers to a specific early code change in the rippled repository. On June 2, 2012, Arthur Britto committed a patch titled “Fix starting number of XNS,” modifying the creation of the first ledger so that its starting balance was defined by SYSTEM_CURRENCY_START rather than a hardcoded number.
At the time, the system currency code was still listed as “XNS,” an early name before XRP became the standard market ticker. The constants added in the commit multiplied 1,000 by 100,000,000 by 1,000,000, creating 100,000,000,000,000,000 base units; with six decimal places, that corresponds to 100 billion XNS, the fixed supply later known as 100 billion XRP.
Ripple Expands Presence in Washington D.C.
The anniversary lands as Ripple is also sharpening its institutional and policy presence in the United States. In a separate announcement, Ripple said it has opened an expanded Washington, D.C. office, describing the move as a reinforcement of its long-term commitment to engagement with policymakers, regulators and industry partners in the capital.
Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty said the larger office reflects the company’s effort to stay close to the policy process as lawmakers and agencies weigh digital asset frameworks.
“Ripple has always believed the future of digital assets should be built with policymakers and regulators, not around them,” Alderoty said. “Expanding our Washington, D.C. presence reflects our long-term commitment to constructive engagement, regulatory clarity, and US leadership in financial innovation. As blockchain and digital assets become more integrated into the financial system, Ripple is committed to helping shape policy that protects consumers, supports responsible innovation, and keeps America competitive.”
The company said the D.C. expansion comes at a “defining moment” for US digital asset policy, pointing to ongoing discussions around market structure, stablecoins, payments modernization and responsible blockchain innovation. Ripple positioned the new office as a hub for policy engagement and stakeholder convening, including conversations with policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, industry partners and other leaders involved in financial infrastructure.
For Ripple, the move is also consistent with its broader enterprise-facing posture. The company describes itself as a provider of blockchain-based solutions across traditional and digital finance, with products spanning global payments, custody, liquidity and treasury management. Ripple also cited its stablecoin RLUSD and XRP as assets underpinning parts of its product suite.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.24.

Here’s What The Altcoin Season Index Says</title><description><![CDATA[Recently, there have been rallies across some altcoins, with Ethereum seeing some recovery as well, pushing the idea of an alt season. With the likes of Hyperliquid pumping to new all-time highs, this has propelled some of the top 100 altcoins by market cap to surpass Bitcoin’s performance during this time. As more altcoins continue to outperform, does this mean that another alt season has begun? This report takes a look at what the data says.
Altcoin Season Index Sitting At A Score Of 36
The Altcoin Season Index has historically been the index that tells when the crypto market has entered an alt season. According to the index, it measures the performance of the top 100 altcoins against that of Bitcoin over a 90-day period and then plots this across a score of 1-100 to show when the market has entered into an alt season.
Historically, the higher the score goes, the more the likelihood that the crypto market is experiencing an alt season. Usually, this means that the Bitcoin outperformance has stalled, and its dominance over the rest of the crypto market has dropped drastically.
Presently, the Altcoin Season Index is reading at a score of 36, according to data from the Coinglass website. Also, the Bitcoin dominance began to recover again during the weekend, rising above 59.88% by the time Sunday rolls around. Naturally, neither of these bodes well for an alt season.
Dissecting The Data For An Alt Season
With the Altcoin Season Index sitting this low at 36, it means that the market is not actually experiencing an alt season. Usually, an alt season would begin with the score sitting above 75. This would mean that 75% of the top 100 altcoins are performing better than Bitcoin in a 3-month timeframe to make this happen.
Additionally, the Bitcoin dominance over the crypto market has continued to rise instead of dropping. This is a sign that the market is actually not moving into an altcoin season. This would only happen when the Bitcoin dominance begins to crash, and the altcoin dominance starts to rise.
Given the data, it suggests that the rallies of some altcoins are only spot rallies. Ethereum is also underperforming compared to Bitcoin during this time, and being the historical leader of the altcoin season, Ethereum would have to begin outperforming Bitcoin to trigger the next alt season.

Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count Has Just Witnessed A Spike
According to data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count has observed a surge recently. The &#8220;Whale Transaction Count&#8221; here refers to an indicator that measures the total number of transfers occurring on the BTC network that involve a sum of $100,000 or more.
Generally, only the whale entities are capable of moving around amounts this large with single transactions, so the indicator&#8217;s value is considered to represent the amount of activity that these humongous investors are taking part in.
Below is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count over the past month.
As displayed in the graph, the Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count has witnessed elevated levels in June so far, with whales making 10,095 daily transfers. This value of the indicator is the highest that it has been since April 22nd.
Interestingly, this six-week high in the metric has come alongside a steep drawdown in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price. Given the timing, it&#8217;s possible that this whale activity corresponds to selling. However, as the Whale Transaction Count contains no information about whether accumulation or distribution is dominant, it&#8217;s hard to comment on whale behavior using its trend alone.
An effect of the bearish price action in the asset has been that CryptoQuant&#8217;s Bull Score Index has plummeted, as highlighted by the analytics firm&#8217;s head of research, Julio Moreno, in an X post. This indicator refers to the data of popular BTC on-chain metrics to provide a view of the market in terms of a single score.
From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent that the Bitcoin Bull Score Index had recovered to the 50 mark during the earlier BTC rally. A value of 50 implies that out of the ten indicators that the Bull Score Index uses, five were giving a green signal for the cryptocurrency.
Since the venture into this neutral zone, however, the market has reversed its course. The drawdown in the second half of May meant that the metric returned to the bearish zone and now, the decline in June has led it to a value of just 10, corresponding to extremely bearish conditions.
It now remains to be seen how long the asset will have to remain in this zone before a rebound can occur.
BTC Price
Bitcoin has returned below the $67,000 level for the first time since early April.

The latest purchase landed at a time when ETH has been stuck near $2,000 and has failed to match the scale of the buying.
A $52 Million Addition
Tom Lee said Bitmine bought 26,497 ETH over the past week, adding another large block to a treasury strategy that has turned the company into the biggest Ether holder of its kind. The move came after Bitmine had already slowed its pace earlier this month, following a stretch in which it was buying more than 100,000 ETH a week for three straight weeks.
The company first laid out its Ether treasury plan in July 2025, with a target of owning 5% of the total circulating supply, which CoinGecko-linked figures in the report put at 120.6 million tokens. Lee has said Bitmine expects to reach that mark in 2026, and the company’s current position suggests it is already deep into the climb.
3/
&#8220;Over the past week, we acquired 26,497 ETH. In our view, ETH prices are not reflecting the strengthening of Ethereum fundamentals, but then again, this is not surprising given we are in the early stages of crypto spring. Bitmine is expected to reach the &#8216;alchemy of 5%&#8217;…
— Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH (@BitMNR) June 1, 2026
Price Still Trails The Buying
Even with that scale of accumulation, Ethereum has been moving in the opposite direction. It was down 4.7% over the past week, trading between $1,963 and $2,126, and spent much of the last day hovering just under $2,000.
Lee told CNBC on Monday that the crypto market has been stuck in a rough patch while other parts of the market, including software stocks, have rallied. He said that kind of frustration often shows up near the end of what he called crypto winter, when prices lag behind the story investors think should matter more.
The case Lee is making is simple: Bitcoin and Ethereum still matter as the backbone of future money, even if the market is not rewarding that view right now. According to Bitmine, prices  of Ether &#8220;are not reflecting the strengthening&#8221; of the coin&#8217;s fundamentals. &#8220;But then again, this is not surprising&#8221;, he said, considering the firm is in the early phases of crypto spring.
Lee pointed to AI-driven commerce, decentralized identity, verification tools, and Wall Street’s push toward tokenization as examples of why he believes Ethereum’s role has not gone away.
Betting On A Longer Clock
Bitmine’s Ethereum buying streak shows how some companies are treating Ether less like a trade and more like a reserve asset. That makes the company’s moves easy to track, but harder to read in the short term, since the market has not yet given the buying spree a matching price response.

Toncoin&#8217;s Native Token Is Now Called Gram
In a new post on Telegram, Pavel Durov has shared details related to a rebranding of the native token of the Toncoin network. The asset is set to see a name change to Gram, with the transition period expected to take about three weeks.
Durov is the co-founder and CEO of Telegram, and one of the biggest backers of TON. In the blockchain&#8217;s early days, its full form even stood for the Telegram Open Network, with the Telegram team handling its development. Telegram&#8217;s official involvement with the token, however, ended back in 2020 following a legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
After Telegram pulled out, the ecosystem rebranded itself to The Open Network and development was handed off to independent contributors. While the messaging giant ended its involvement in the project, it didn&#8217;t break all ties. In 2023, Telegram integrated a wallet based on the blockchain to its official app.
Durov himself also remained a supporter of the project. This year, the Telegram CEO kickstarted the &#8220;Make TON Great Again&#8221; (MTONGA) initiative, which is going to have a total of seven steps. The first two steps of the roadmap went into action in April and provided upgrades to the network&#8217;s transaction speed and fees.
The third step, announced in early May, saw Telegram officially re-enter the picture after a six-year absence, replacing the TON Foundation as the driving force behind the ecosystem. The messaging company also became the network&#8217;s largest validator.
&#8220;Telegram becoming TON’s largest validator strengthens decentralization,&#8221; said Durov in an X post a day after announcing the move. &#8220;It lets other major players join the validator pool without centralizing the network — with Telegram as the counterbalance.&#8221;
Now, the Telegram co-founder has unveiled the rebrand to the name Gram as the fourth checkpoint in the MTONGA plan. This change, which only applies to the blockchain&#8217;s native token, will bring back the asset&#8217;s original name from its first white paper. The new website for the token provides a teaser of a fresh logo for the cryptocurrency.
&#8220;We’re returning to our roots — and starting a new chapter,&#8221; noted the Telegram co-founder. &#8220;This rebranding will pave the way for what comes next.&#8221; There are three more steps left in the MTONGA roadmap, but it only remains to be seen what they will bring to the network.
Gram Price
At the time of writing, Gram is trading around $2.02, up over 5% in the last seven days.

The transaction was carried out to meet dividend-related obligations tied to the firm&#8217;s preferred stock offerings, according to reports.
Bitcoin&#8217;s largest corporate holder remains firmly committed to its long-term treasury strategy despite the sale, with holdings still standing above 843,000 BTC.
Corporate Bitcoin Buying Plans Grow
While Strategy made headlines for trimming a small portion of its reserves, another corporate Bitcoin player is preparing for a much larger expansion.
Reports indicate that Strive Asset Management has proposed increasing its capital-raising programs by $4.2 billion. The company plans to expand two separate at-the-market offerings by $2.1 billion each, creating additional capacity to fund future crypto purchases.
Strive expects to increase the size of both the $ASST and $SATA ATM programs by $2.1 billion each, reflecting a sustained increase in liquidity and demand for both securities.

The move would significantly increase Strive&#8217;s ability to acquire more Bitcoin if investors participate in the offerings. Based on reports, the proposal is designed to give the company greater flexibility as it pursues a BTC-focused treasury strategy.

Strive has rapidly emerged as one of the larger corporate Bitcoin holders, climbing into the top ranks of publicly known corporate owners. The company has been positioning itself alongside a growing group of firms that have adopted crypto as a treasury reserve asset.

Different Moves, Same Focus
The timing of the two developments drew attention across the crypto sector. Strategy&#8217;s sale involved only a tiny fraction of its overall BTC holdings.
Data shows the company still controls a reserve worth tens of billions of dollars, leaving its broader accumulation strategy largely unchanged.
Reports note that the sale was tied to treasury management needs rather than a shift in the company&#8217;s view of Bitcoin. The firm has spent years building one of the largest corporate crypto positions in the market.
At the same time, Strive&#8217;s proposal does not represent $4.2 billion already raised or deployed. The expanded programs would allow the company to seek that amount from investors over time, with proceeds potentially directed toward additional crypto acquisitions.
The development highlights how companies are using different approaches to finance Bitcoin purchases while maintaining exposure to the asset.

The breakdown is uncomfortable — and analyst MorenoDV has identified a signal in the supply data that places the current moment in a long-term structural context that spans a decade of Bitcoin market cycles.
Bitcoin&#8217;s Supply in Loss currently sits at 40.6% — meaning more than four in ten units of Bitcoin&#8217;s circulating value are held by participants whose cost basis is above the current price. The metric measures the share of circulating supply that is underwater at any given moment, and its current reading reflects the pain that the correction from the cycle highs has distributed across the holder base.
But the raw percentage is not the most important element of what MorenoDV&#8217;s analysis reveals. The real story is the long-term pattern behind the metric&#8217;s peaks — a structural observation that requires looking at the entire history of Bitcoin&#8217;s major cycle bottoms rather than any single reading in isolation.
Since 2015, every major Bitcoin cycle low has occurred when Supply in Loss pushed into the upper band of a descending trendline. And crucially, each successive cycle bottom has required a lower percentage of supply in loss than the one before it — a pattern of diminishing pain at successive lows that describes how Bitcoin&#8217;s market structure has evolved as the asset has matured and its holder base has deepened.
Each Cycle Bottom Needed Less Pain Than the Last
The MorenoDV analysis traces the descending loss threshold across Bitcoin&#8217;s entire modern market history to reveal the structural evolution that makes the current 40.6% reading more significant than the raw number suggests.
Early Bitcoin cycles required extreme pain to form genuine bottoms — more than 60% of the circulating supply underwater before capitulation created the conditions for recovery. The 2018 to 2019 and 2020 to 2022 cycle lows formed with progressively lower loss thresholds as the holder base matured and conviction deepened. The same structural trendline now sits closer to the high-40% area — reflecting a market where ETFs, institutions, long-term holders, and high-conviction participants have replaced the weaker hands that previously needed to be fully exhausted before bottoms could form.
The current 40.6% reading places Bitcoin in meaningful stress territory without yet reaching the historical maximum opportunity zone. A continuation of weakness or extended consolidation that pushes Supply in Loss into a retest of the descending trendline would place the market in a region that has repeatedly marked significant accumulation windows across a decade of cycles.
The psychological mechanism behind the signal is what gives it its forward relevance. Rising supply in loss moves markets from optimism to doubt and from doubt to forced patience — the sequence that exhausts reactive sellers and creates the conditions where long-term capital begins absorbing supply at scale.
Bottoms do not form immediately when this zone is reached. Historical precedent includes volatility, false breakdowns, and emotional exhaustion before recovery begins. But from a risk and reward perspective, a retest of this decade-long structure represents one of the most important signals Bitcoin can generate — and MorenoDV&#8217;s analysis suggests the market is approaching rather than departing from that territory.
Bitcoin Loses Major Weekly Support As Bears Target Lower Demand Zone
Bitcoin is trading near $69,600 on the weekly timeframe after losing the critical $72,000–$75,000 support region that had acted as the foundation of the recovery rally from the March lows. The breakdown is technically important because this zone served as both resistance and support during the past three months, making its loss a clear deterioration in market structure.
The weekly chart shows BTC rejecting from the $82,000 area before reversing sharply lower. That rejection established a lower high relative to the cycle peak near $123,000 and reinforced the broader downtrend that has been in place since late 2025. More concerning for bulls, the price has now fallen below the 50-week and 100-week moving averages, both of which are beginning to flatten after months of weakness.
From a structural perspective, the next major support sits between $64,000 and $66,000, highlighted by the lower yellow zone on the chart. This area acted as a key accumulation range following February’s capitulation event and represents the most important demand zone on the weekly timeframe.
For Bitcoin to stabilize, bulls must quickly reclaim the lost $72,000–$75,000 range. Until that happens, the path of least resistance remains lower, with the market increasingly focused on whether the $64,000–$66,000 region can provide the foundation for a durable bottom.

The launch, announced on June 2, marks another step in Ripple’s push to position RLUSD as an enterprise-grade stablecoin for payments, tokenization and collateral use cases. The company said RLUSD, which launched in late 2024, has reached $1.7 billion in market capitalization, citing growing institutional demand for a compliance-focused digital dollar.
“RLUSD has rapidly gained traction in financial use cases, serving as a vital bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management,” said Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple. “As enterprise demand scales globally, launching in Türkiye represents a milestone in our expansion. Türkiye sits at the crossroads of traditional finance and the digital economy, with one of the world&#8217;s highest rates of crypto adoption.”
McDonald added that Ripple is positioning RLUSD as a regulated dollar asset for businesses seeking access to liquidity beyond local markets. “By providing a stable, USD-backed asset that is both transparent and fully regulated, we are empowering Turkish businesses to access global liquidity,” he said.
Ripple Moves RLUSD Into A High-Adoption Market
Ripple’s Türkiye rollout is built around three local digital asset platforms with different roles in the domestic market. BiLira operates across stablecoin issuance, exchange services and market-making, while Bitexen offers trading, custody and related services across Türkiye, the Middle East, South Africa and Europe. Bitlo, founded in 2018 by Mustafa Alpay and Hakan Baş, operates a crypto trading platform that lists major assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana.
The choice of Türkiye is notable. Ripple cited Chainalysis’ 2025 Geography of Crypto Report, saying the country remains the dominant crypto market in the MENA region, facilitating nearly $200 billion in annual transaction volume and outpacing regional peers by nearly fourfold.
Ripple framed that adoption as both a notable. Ripple cited Chainalysis’ 2025 Geography of Crypto Report, saying the country remains the dominant crypto market in the MENA region, facilitating nearly $200 billion in annual transaction volume and outpacing regional peers by nearly fourfold response to economic conditions and a product of regulatory development.
According to the company, the Capital Markets Board’s implementation of a licensing framework in 2024 helped move the market from speculative retail activity toward a more structured institutional ecosystem. That legal certainty, Ripple said, created a clearer path for global companies to work with domestic partners.
For BiLira, the partnership is being presented as an extension of its existing role between fiat and crypto rails. “BiLira exists to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital future,” said Sinan Koç, Co-Founder of BiLira. “Our partnership with Ripple is rooted in a shared dedication to regulatory integrity. By prioritizing the availability of RLUSD, we are providing our clients with a gold-standard asset designed for the next era of finance.”
Local Partners Pitch RLUSD As Institutional Digital Dollar
Bitexen described the RLUSD launch as the beginning of a wider rollout across its global platform. “We are pleased to introduce RLUSD to our users in Türkiye as the first step in a broader rollout across the Bitexen Global platform,” said Alphan Göğüş, CEO at Bitexen MENA. “At Bitexen, we operate a multi-jurisdiction digital asset infrastructure, connecting local markets to global liquidity across Türkiye, the Middle East, South Africa and Europe through our regulated entities. Supporting RLUSD aligns with our strategy to provide trusted, USD-denominated instruments within a compliant and scalable framework.”
Bitlo’s CEO Mustafa Alpay positioned the integration around access to dollar-denominated digital finance and volatility management. “Bitlo is proud to be the gateway where global excellence meets local ambition, so by bringing RLUSD to our platform, we are excited to offer the Turkish crypto ecosystem with a direct, secure gateway to global financial markets,” Alpay said.
“Our users are looking for secure, digital-native means to manage their wealth and hedge against volatility. By integrating a regulated, enterprise-grade stablecoin like RLUSD, we’re providing our customers with the highest standard of digital dollars for enterprise needs.”
Ripple said RLUSD is now available globally through a broader list of partners that includes Binance, Bitso, Bitstamp, ByBit, Gemini, Kraken, LMAX and OKX, alongside the new Turkish platforms.
The company also used the Türkiye announcement to expand its academic footprint, naming Istanbul Technical University as the latest partner in its University Blockchain Research Initiative. The partnership, funded via RLUSD, will support research initiatives, graduate fellowships and the establishment of an XRP Ledger validator on ITU’s campus.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.26.

The market is cautious — and an Arab Chain analysis tracking whale withdrawal behavior on Binance has identified a structural signal in the off-exchange activity data that places the current weakness in a historical context spanning back to 2021.
Total XRP whale withdrawals from Binance over the past 30 days have fallen to approximately 978 million XRP — their lowest level since 2021. The reading reflects a clear and sustained decline in the activity most associated with large holders making long-term positioning decisions: moving assets off the exchange and into self-custody or external storage where they cannot be immediately sold.
The historical baseline that gives the current reading its full weight is the contrast with previous periods of market strength. During the bull runs of 2021 and the active phases of 2024 and 2025, whale withdrawals surged to tens of billions of XRP — a scale that reflected heightened investment activity, strong holder conviction, and the behavioral signature of large participants accumulating rather than distributing. Those periods of elevated withdrawal activity coincided directly with the price advances that defined XRP&#8217;s most significant moves.
The current 978 million XRP represents a near-complete reversal of that dynamic — and Arab Chain&#8217;s analysis examines what that reversal describes about where large holders currently stand relative to XRP at $1.28.
The Quietest Whale Withdrawal Activity Since 2021
The Arab Chain report frames the current withdrawal reading with the honest calibration that prevents it from being misread in either direction. A five-year low in whale withdrawals describes a market in a specific and recognizable phase — one where the behavioral signature of confident long-term positioning has been replaced by hesitation, preference for liquidity, and a wait-and-see posture that neither commits to accumulation nor signals active distribution.
The two explanations the analysis identifies for the withdrawal decline carry different forward implications. Reduced appetite for cold storage suggests large holders are choosing to keep assets exchange-accessible rather than locking them away — a posture consistent with participants who want the option to sell quickly if conditions deteriorate. Waiting for market clarity suggests the same holders have a thesis but are withholding execution until the price environment provides the confirmation they need before making long-term positioning decisions.
Both interpretations converge on the same near-term reality. Weak withdrawal activity alongside a narrow trading range describes a market without momentum in either direction — neither the accumulation behavior that precedes sustained advances nor the distribution behavior that precedes sustained declines.
The forward signal the report identifies is specific. A rebound in whale withdrawals alongside increasing price activity would confirm that large holders have found the clarity they were waiting for and are transitioning from hesitation into active long-term positioning. Until that combination appears, the five-year withdrawal low reflects ongoing caution rather than resolved conviction — and XRP&#8217;s narrow range is the price expression of exactly that unresolved state.
XRP Loses Key Support As Bears Push Price To Multi-Month Lows
XRP is trading near $1.26 after breaking below the critical $1.30 support level that had contained selling pressure throughout most of April and May. The breakdown marks a deterioration in market structure and places XRP at its weakest price since the February capitulation event, when the asset briefly traded below $1.20 before recovering.
The chart shows a clear bearish trend across all major moving averages. XRP remains below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, confirming that sellers continue to control momentum across short-, medium-, and long-term timeframes. More importantly, the recent decline occurred after multiple failed attempts to reclaim the $1.45–$1.50 region, which repeatedly acted as resistance during the second quarter.
Volume has remained relatively subdued during the latest breakdown, suggesting the move is being driven by persistent supply rather than panic liquidation. This type of gradual decline often reflects weak demand rather than aggressive selling, a dynamic that aligns with the recent drop in whale withdrawal activity from Binance.
From a technical perspective, bulls now need to reclaim $1.30 quickly to avoid confirming the breakdown. If XRP remains below this level, downside risk increases toward the February low near $1.15. On the upside, the first meaningful resistance sits around $1.38–$1.40, followed by the more important supply zone near $1.45, where every recovery attempt has failed since April. Until those levels are recovered, the trend remains decisively bearish.

Expert’s Top Pick After ADA, SOL Dip 10%</title><description><![CDATA[The broader crypto market pulled back as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly slipped below the $67,000 level on Tuesday, and that weakness quickly spread to other major chains. In the weekly timeframe, Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) each recorded a 10% retrace. 
Against that backdrop, market expert Anders Bylund of The Motley Fool published a fresh comparison of the two networks—followed by a clear call on which one he believes is the better pick at this stage.
Solana’s Quick History
Bylund frames Solana as a network built for speed first. In his account, Solana’s ledger is designed to handle a large number of transactions per second and to finalize them under sub-second deadlines. 
He also notes that the user experience on Solana has been shaped by very low costs, with transaction fees coming out in fractions of a cent. But speed can come with complications, and Solana’s history includes them. 
The report points out that the network has gone down more than once, with outages that reportedly lasted as long as 19 hours. Bylund also references headline-grabbing problems from earlier years, including ledger congestion in 2022 and a data-cleaning error in 2023. 
Since then, the narrative has improved. Solana has stabilized, and the expert notes that the network hasn’t reported an incident since January 2024. Even so, he argues that “we’re more reliable now” is not as persuasive as a track record of consistent reliability over the long term.
Key Contrasts Between Solana And Cardano 
Cardano, in contrast, represents a different philosophy. Bylund says every upgrade on Cardano goes through academic peer review, and the platform’s Haskell-based codebase is designed for formal verification. The result, in his description, is a chain that tends to break less often, but also one that may not ship new features as rapidly. 
Solana’s supporters emphasize that speed is what attracts users. Cardano’s advocates argue that correctness and verification matter more, especially for long-term trust. 
The comparison then shifts from ideology to activity—what these networks are actually doing in practice. Here, Bylund says Solana shows clearer signs of real-world usage. He highlights that Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms have more than 400 times the DEX volume of Cardano. 
Cardano also has activity, but Bylund portrays it as less visible in on-chain metrics. He describes the Cardano community as loyal and engaged, but suggests that loyalty doesn’t show up in the same measurable way as Solana’s usage does.
Risks Could Deepen If Bitcoin Falls
From there, Bylund’s decision is direct: Solana is the stronger pick right now. He acknowledges that no crypto bet is guaranteed, but he says the usage lead is difficult to ignore. 
In his view, Cardano’s research-first approach is intellectually appealing, but investors will be judged—two years from now—less by the “elegance of the research process” and more by whether people are actually building and using the network in real applications.
The report also includes a reality check on risk. Neither Solana nor Cardano, Bylund says, should be viewed as a “calm ride.” If Bitcoin drops 30%, he argues that these altcoins can be expected to fall by roughly 50% to 70%. 
At the time of writing, Cardano’s native token, ADA, was trading at $0.21, while SOL was trading at $76. Over the past 24 hours, both assets recorded losses of a little over 5%. However, the longer-term view shows that ADA is currently 92% below its all-time high, whereas SOL is 73% below its peak.

While he believes the broader bullish structure remains intact, he also identified a lower range where investors may find what he considers one of the most attractive buying opportunities of the current cycle if support fails.
Bitcoin’s Most Important Support Zone
The analyst’s outlook centers on the region around $71,000 to $73,000, which he described as the level that must remain intact to prevent a deeper pullback. His accompanying chart highlights this area as a critical support block, positioned above a broader uptrend line that has guided Bitcoin’s recovery following the sharp correction seen earlier in the year.
According to the chart, the current market structure differs significantly from the breakdown that occurred in February. At that time, a previously established resistance level failed to transition into support, resulting in a rapid loss of momentum and a steep decline. This time, however, the analyst argues that the market is attempting to defend a former resistance zone as support, a development that could preserve the larger bullish framework.
The chart also marks a “crucial area to break” near $76,600. Bitcoin recently retreated from that region after encountering resistance, leaving it as the next major hurdle for bulls. Just above it sits a Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap around $79,000, followed by another resistance cluster near the upper-$80,000 range.
According to the analyst, holding support is only the first step. A successful defense of the $71,000 area would keep the broader structure intact and increase the probability of another advance toward those overhead targets. In that scenario, Bitcoin could regain momentum and position itself for a push toward fresh cycle highs.
Where To Buy If Bitcoin Breaks Down
While the analyst remains constructive on the market, he also mapped out a contingency plan in case support gives way. If Bitcoin loses the $71,000-$73,000 region, his chart points to a significantly lower accumulation zone between roughly $61,000 and $65,000.
That area is notable for several reasons. It aligns with historical support levels established during previous consolidation phases and sits close to the 200-day moving average, a long-term trend indicator closely watched by institutional and retail participants alike. The analyst suggested that a decline into that region would represent an exceptional opportunity to buy in.
For now, the market’s attention remains fixed on two levels. The first is the defense of support near $71,000. The second is a decisive breakout above $76,600. How Bitcoin reacts around those thresholds could determine whether the next chapter brings a renewed surge toward record highs or a final opportunity for buyers to accumulate at significantly lower prices between the $61,000-$65,000 region.

Technical analysis of the daily chart setup shows the Bitcoin price moving inside an ascending channel structure, but the structure is becoming more dangerous as the cryptocurrency is now approaching its lower boundary.
Bitcoin’s Ascending Channel Is Starting To Look Like A Trap
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $69,316 after falling almost 5% on the day, with the intraday move showing a drop from $72,926 to a low around the current price. That price action has now locked Bitcoin below the $73,000 to $76,000 zone that acted as a major battleground between buyers and sellers last week.
The concern now is that Bitcoin may be setting up a trap for traders who are chasing a clean continuation pattern without waiting for confirmation. The ascending channel still gives bulls a path back toward $79,000, but the same chart also shows how quickly the setup can turn into a breakdown if support fails.
The daily chart shows Bitcoin building an ascending channel from the February low, with a sequence of higher lows forming across March up until the time of writing. This type of structure can look constructive at first glance because each major pullback has held above the previous one.
However, the problem is that the upper side of the structure has already shown weakness. The structure shows a higher high above $82,000 in early May, but Bitcoin failed to build a stronger continuation from that point. The move eventually rolled over, Bitcoin has returned to the lower side of the channel, and it is now testing whether price action will create a higher low. However, this might be a trap in waiting for bullish traders.
How To Avoid The Trap As Bitcoin Risks A Drop
Many traders may see the green ascending support line and assume that another bounce is automatic, especially because Bitcoin has respected that diagonal several times. Notably, crypto analyst Void is leaning towards a break below the structure, which would turn the higher lows into a failed pattern and open up a dump to anywhere between $54,000 and $58,000.
There are two possible scenarios for how Bitcoin’s price action could play out from this point. If the current support level holds, the rally may continue and push Bitcoin back to $79,000 and possibly return to the region above $80,000. However, if support breaks, Bitcoin could first retest $75,000 as a trap for traders before entering a deeper decline to as low as $54,000.
Therefore, avoiding the trap means not treating the first bounce as proof of recovery, as the Bitcoin price can still produce a short-term rebound to as high as $75,000 in the weak structure.

ETH may be struggling with volatility, but its short-term outlook appears to be quite bullish as the altcoin mirrors a historical pattern that presents an impending rebound.
ETH’s Price And Investors’ Current Behavior
Ethereum is once again exhibiting a market pattern that emerged at a significant juncture in its price action over the past few months, sparking conjecture that a potential bounce may be imminent. Rekt Capital, a crypto analyst and investor, has found parallels between current price behavior and the past few months that preceded notable changes in momentum, making the trend a crucial area of attention.
As seen in the chart, this trend involves a monthly close below its multi-year upward trend. According to the expert, Ethereum has recently made this key monthly close for the second time in the last 5 months, increasing the likelihood of ETH mirroring its price action of early 2026. Rekt Capital highlighted that the last time the altcoin mostly closed below the trend line of its multi-year uptrend, the price experienced a limited move to the upside. However, it later got rejected, sparking a steady downward trend.
Currently, the rallies originating from this trend line are clearly weakening, and the multi-year upward trend is likely faltering. In the meantime, the altcoin needs to at least keep the 2026 lows and/or reclaim the upward trend to avoid deeper downside.
Michael Van De Poppe, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and founder of MNFund, revealed that ETH is in the area of interest for entry points after a period of sideways price action. This analysis suggests that the ETH market structure is shifting, creating ideal entry opportunities.
However, with the CLARITY Act vote, this month is a decisive one for the altcoin, which the expert believes is providing the ideal “Sell the rumor, Buy the News” type of scenario. Once the bill is passed, Van De Poppe urges immediate positioning in DeFi, as it is highly likely that ETH will experience a lot of upside. Thus, the expert expresses his intention to add more ETH to his portfolio.
Large Investors Are Accumulating More Ethereum
Data shows that investors are already positioning for an upcoming surge as they steadily add more Ethereum to their portfolios. Leon reported that this renewed accumulation is observed among big whales or large investors, particularly wallet addresses holding at least 100,000 ETH, despite ongoing heavy FUD.
Currently, these investors control a total of 17.41 million ETH, marking their highest level in the last 9 weeks. When compared to the ETH total supply, this purchase represents about 22.03%, marking a 10-week high. Since mid-April 2026, their holdings have grown considerably despite strong downward pressure on the price of ETH.
These investors, also considered as smart money, are quietly buying the dip instead of selling, but retail investors are panicking and spreading FUD. This is a classic whale behavior where they see long-term value in ETH way bigger than short-term noise.

While XRP has long maintained a larger market presence, XLM appears to be gaining the upper hand in some regions. A new report shows that retail traders in South Korea are now dumping XRP for XLM, fueling a surge in Stellar’s market value while XRP’s price continues to decline. 
XLM Surpasses XRP In Trading Volume In South Korea
Stellar&#8217;s native token, XLM has moved ahead of XRP in a major shift on South Korea&#8217;s largest crypto exchange, Upbit. The development comes as retail traders pour into XLM, pushing its trading activity above one of the country&#8217;s most popular digital assets.
Data shared by market analyst Xaif Crypto shows XLM recorded about $252.3 million in 24-hour trading volume on Upbit. XRP, by comparison, posted around $125.7 million during the same period, less than half the volume seen in XLM. This staggering gap marks the first time XLM has surpassed XRP in trading volume, now ranking number one on Upbit.
The latest surge comes after interest in Stellar&#8217;s role in tokenized finance surged in South Korea. Traders reacted positively to recent plans linking the blockchain network to tokenization efforts involving the US Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (DTCC), one of the largest financial market infrastructure firms in the world. 
The DTCC news helped fuel fresh demand for XLM among South Korean investors, who usually prefer to trade XRP. Notably, XLM has also seen strong price gains alongside the rise in trading activity. Reports show the token climbed more than 55% to $11 over the past week as momentum continued to build across the market. XRP, meanwhile, has struggled to match the rally, even falling below $1.3, despite its longstanding popularity among South Korean traders.
This shift in interest and demand is notable because XRP has historically been one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in Asian markets like South Korea, Japan, and Thailand. Just weeks ago, XRP was leading trading volume on South Korea’s Upbit ahead of Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, the latest figures suggest retail attention has now rotated toward XLM as traders chase the strongest momentum in the market.
Analyst Forecasts Bull Run For XRP After XLM Rally
In a separate analysis, crypto analyst CW believes XRP could be the next major winner after Stellar&#8217;s recent breakout. In a post shared on X, the analyst said the bullish rally for XLM has already begun and suggested XRP is now in a similar position before its own move higher.
According to CW, XRP is waiting for a &#8220;start signal&#8221; and is currently trading around the same level where XLM was before its recent 57% price rally. The analyst argued that XRP could follow XLM&#8217;s bullish path if momentum continues to build.
However, CW&#8217;s chart projects a much larger move for XRP, targeting potential new all-time highs near $56. While the prediction remains highly speculative and ambitious given the cryptocurrency’s current low price, it reflects growing optimism among some market participants who believe XRP has yet to make its biggest move in the current cycle.

New Iran Sanctions On Crypto Exchanges
The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said Tuesday  it designated Nobitex, described as Iran’s largest digital asset exchange, along with three other Iranian exchanges, as part of an initiative branded “Economic Fury.”
 The Treasury positioned the designations as part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to reduce what officials call the threat posed by the Iranian regime.
According to the OFAC release, Nobitex provided substantial assistance to the regime by processing more than half of all Iranian digital asset inflows in 2025. 
Treasury officials also said the platform facilitated payments tied to Iran’s terrorist activities, sanctions evasion efforts, and transactions linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). 
In addition, Treasury claims Nobitex helped the Central Bank of Iran access “hundreds of millions of dollars” in stablecoins, which were used to support the plummeting value of the Iranian rial. 
The exchange, the release adds, also enabled regime insiders to reach international digital asset exchanges and evade sanctions across multiple jurisdictions.
Binance Pushes Back
In remarks tied to the announcement, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Iran’s economy is “in free fall,” but that the regime has nevertheless sought to “co-opt digital asset technologies” for what he described as a corrupt agenda—specifically to evade US sanctions. 
Bessent concluded his comments by saying that the Treasury intends to keep “following the money” to stop the regime from developing a nuclear weapon. He said this approach would extend beyond the traditional banking system and reach “through digital assets” as well. 
While the OFAC designations focused on Iranian exchanges, scrutiny has been spreading beyond Iran’s borders. Bitcoinist previously reported that attention has also rippled to Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. 
In a February 24 letter to Binance co-CEO Richard Teng, Senator Richard Blumenthal cited reports suggesting the company enabled “large-scale violations” of US and international sanctions involving Iran.
Blumenthal wrote that Binance appeared to have ignored warnings and recommendations intended to prevent Iranian money-laundering schemes. He alleged that the crypto exchange allowed approximately $1.7 billion in transfers connected to Iran. 
Binance, for its part, rejected the allegations ahead of the senator’s inquiry. In a statement dated February 22, the company said it conducted an internal review and found “no evidence of violations of applicable sanctions laws.”

The difference in fund flows and investor demand suggests that institutions and large players are increasingly favoring the altcoin exposure over Bitcoin and Ethereum despite their waning price action. At the same time, a crypto analyst has offered deeper insights into why demand for the three crypto ETFs has diverged so sharply, with Bitcoin ETFs recording the highest volume of outflows among the three. 
Why XRP ETFs Are Outperforming Bitcoin And Ethereum ETFs
Market analyst CryptoKrali has pointed to a growing split in crypto ETF flows. He said that XRP-focused funds are seeing steady inflows while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continue to face outflows.
In a post shared on X, CryptoKrali noted that while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw heavy selling pressure through the end of May, XRP-linked products saw steady inflows. He described the trend as a clear shift in how institutional capital is being allocated across major crypto assets.
According to the analyst’s cited data, U.S.-listed XRP ETFs saw another wave of inflows over the past week, lifting total inflows since May 20 to about $35 million. In contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products reportedly recorded combined outflows close to $2 billion over the same period.
CryptoKrali explained that the massive gap in fund flows reflects a cooling of demand for exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum. He added that the altcoin continues to attract significant attention from institutions due to separate market narratives tied to regulatory positioning, ETF expansion, and possible treasury-style demand, circulating among traders.
Despite recent steady inflows, the XRP price action has remained relatively muted, with the price trading flat. Not only has the cryptocurrency failed to reflect the same momentum seen in its ETF demand, but its price has also crashed below $1.3, reflecting a more than 6% decline over the past week. 
Meanwhile, CryptoKrali added that market participants are also watching older speculation around a potential XRP treasury structure linked to Ripple. However, no official updates have confirmed any active development on those bullish updates.
Overall, the ETF flow patterns among XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum suggest that capital is becoming more selective among institutions. Investors are no longer rotating broadly into top market-cap assets. Instead, they are targeting specific narratives showing relative strength.
Latest Update On XRP, Bitcoin, And Ethereum ETFs
According to data from SoSoValue, XRP ETFs have recorded another day of inflows, extending the streak to 17 consecutive days with no outflows. The fund added about $4.13 million on June 1, bringing its cumulative total net inflow to $1.43 billion.
In contrast, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have now entered their 11th straight day of outflows. About $483.7 million in funds were raised on June 1, pushing the ETFs’ cumulative total net inflow down to $55.1 billion. 
Ethereum ETFs are facing a similar trend, recording their 15th consecutive day of outflows. Around $44.4 million was withdrawn on June 1, reducing the cumulative total net inflow to $11.3 billion.

After a period of downward performance, the level of activity and participation within the network has significantly dropped below levels seen in previous bull market cycles.
How Bitcoin’s Network Usage Has Evolved Since 2021
While the Bitcoin price has been experiencing persistent downside action, its network performance is also exhibiting a notable decline. Currently, the network is telling a very different story from the one seen in past bull market cycles, especially the peak of the 2021 bull market.
Over the past few years, Bitcoin&#8217;s on-chain activity has experienced a substantial metamorphosis, ranging from changing transaction patterns to evolving investor behavior. According to data shared by Santiment, a popular market intelligence and on-chain data analytics platform, the BTC network was averaging roughly 1.12 million active addresses per day and nearly 489,000 new wallet addresses being created daily in May 2021. 
However, as of Today, those figures have now dropped to approximately 624,000 active wallet addresses and 278,000 new wallet addresses generated per day, which represents declines of about 44% and 43%, respectively.
Santiment highlighted that active addresses are often used as a proxy for the number of unique participants transacting on the network. Meanwhile, the network growth calculates the creation of new wallet addresses that interact with BTC for the first time. 
Together, these metrics suggest that Bitcoin is attracting fewer new participants and generating less day-to-day transactional activity than it did during the height of retail enthusiasm about 5 years ago. Despite the Bitcoin price remaining well above its 2021 levels for much of the current cycle, on-chain participation has not been quiet.
Key Drivers Are Spot ETFs And Institutional Investment Vehicles
These shifts imply that a new set of factors is driving the market, which could influence how analysts assess demand, network health, and upcoming price movements. One of the major reasons behind this may be the growing influence of the Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and institutional investment vehicles. 
These allow investors to gain more exposure to BTC without directly moving coins on-chain or creating new wallets. At the same time, Santiment highlighted that many long-term holders have become increasingly passive, choosing to store their assets rather than transact frequently. As a result, the network is still very valuable but less active than it was in 2021 during the retail-driven craze. 
Historically, this is not necessarily a bearish indicator as many may assume at first sight. Most times, volatility in either direction is what triggers BTC’s network activity to rise. Furthermore, this decline in activity is likely due to sideways movement and growing crowd interest in equities and precious metals as of late.
At the time of writing, the price of BTC was trading at $69,876, demonstrating a nearly 5% increase in the last 24 hours. Despite this decline, traders are showing increased interest in the asset, as evidenced by a more than 134% rise in trading volume over the past day.

BNB Joins The US ETF Race
Last Thursday, asset manager VanEck debuted its VanEck BNB ETF on Nasdaq under the ticker VBNB, the first US exchange-traded fund designed to offer spot exposure to the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins.
According to the amended Form S-1 filed mid-May, the investment product carries a 0.39% sponsor fee, and its custodian, Anchorage Digital Bank, holds all the fund’s assets in cold storage.
“Until today, BNB stood out among major crypto assets as one of the few not yet available in a U.S. spot ETP,” said Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Assets Product at VanEck. “We’re thrilled to be changing that with the launch of VBNB, giving U.S. investors exchange-traded access to one of the most economically significant networks in digital assets.”
The asset manager cited the altcoin’s performance and the network’s fundamentals as the rationale for listing the fund, highlighting its more than 14 million transactions per day and more than 2.5 million daily active users.
“BNB has been one of the most resilient major cryptocurrencies through the recent market cycle (…). This is partly due to the fact that BNB is one of the most actively used blockchains in the world,” stated Patrick Bush, Senior Investment Analyst with VanEck.
The fund is the latest addition to VanEck’s lineup of exchange-traded products providing spot crypto exposure, which includes its Bitcoin ETF, HODL. Meanwhile, the product’s launch marks a major milestone for the BNB Chain ecosystem, as it marks the first time institutional capital has a direct, regulated on-ramp to the network.
VanEck was the first to file for a BNB ETF in May 2025, and was followed by asset manager Grayscale in January 2026, which is also seeking approval to join the race to launch US products in the category.
BNB Chain Ecosystem To Lead Post-CLARITY Act?
In another noteworthy development, Grayscale’s Head of Research, Zach Pandl, recently named BNB Chain one of the top ecosystems positioned to capture institutional flows once the long-awaited CLARITY Act passes.
In the report, Pandl affirmed that the expected regulatory changes in the US are a “rising tide” that will likely “unlock blockchain use cases like tokenized assets and decentralized finance (DeFi),” which could “eventually lift all boats across the digital assets industry.”
While the broader industry may benefit over time, institutional capital will potentially target leading chains in these crucial sectors first, such as Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, the report noted, as institutions will likely prioritize established networks with regulatory clarity.
In tokenized assets, Ethereum has solidified its position as the market leader, with full on-chain functionality. However, BNB Chain’s growth has placed the network in second spot with $3.67 billion in distributed asset value, followed by Solana’s $2.6 billion.
While the ecosystem has seen a 4.24% decline in this metric over the past month, the network’s RWA transfer volume has recorded a 121.62% increase during the same period, with a 30-day volume of $2.53 billion, according to RWA.xyz data.
In addition, it has seen a 68.47% monthly increase in RWA holders, reaching 77,155 holders by June 1. Last month, online reports highlighted that the chain led in RWA holder growth, recording the fastest growth among major ecosystems in 2026, with a 567% surge since January.
Grayscale’s Head of Research also highlighted the network as one of the leaders in the stablecoin sector, which is “at the heart of on-chain finance.” It’s worth noting that earlier this year, BNB Chain positioned itself ahead of competitors like Ethereum, Tron, and Solana in transaction share.
The data showed that BNB Chain led the stablecoin sector by transaction count in March, handling roughly 40% of global transactions with small-value transfers while only holding 5% of the total stablecoin supply.
Currently, the network has a $231.9 billion stablecoin transfer volume and 68.53 million stablecoin holders, 9.74% and 8% surges over the past 30 days, signaling increasing adoption and utility of the network for transfers and real-world payments. Grayscale also listed the blockchain as one of the top ecosystems for DeFi, based on total value locked (TVL) and application activity.
Overall, the BNB Chain has emerged as one of the leading players in the convergence of traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure, with institutions using it for permissioned financial products and investors gaining seamless on-chain access to major offerings, such as Circle’s US Yield Coin (USYC), BlackRock’s BUIDL, Franklin Templeton’s Benji Technology Platform, and Matrixdock’s XAUm.

Strategy disclosed the 32 BTC sale — its first reported Bitcoin disposal since December 2022 — in a Form 8-K SEC filing submitted on June 1. The filing itself timestamps the transaction as &#8220;as of May 31, 2026, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time,&#8221; with the sale executed at an average price of approximately $77,135 per coin across a six-day window ending May 31, generating roughly $2.5 million in proceeds directed toward preferred stock distributions, per the filing.
The amount represents approximately 0.0038% of Strategy&#8217;s 843,706 BTC treasury — a footnote in scale but a landmark in symbolism, given Michael Saylor&#8217;s repeated public declarations that he would never sell.
The Core Of The Dispute
The Polymarket market asked a straightforward question: did MicroStrategy sell any Bitcoin by May 31, 2026? Per Strategy&#8217;s own SEC filing, the sale ran from May 26 through May 31 — entirely within the window. The problem, per Polymarket&#8217;s proposed resolution, is that the Form 8-K was not filed until June 1.
The platform&#8217;s bulletin board stated that no information from MSTR filings, on-chain data, or credible reporting confirmed a Bitcoin sale within the market&#8217;s timeframe, and that &#8220;confirmation achieved outside of the market&#8217;s timeframe does not qualify,&#8221; per Polymarket&#8217;s official market page.
That framing has generated a furious response from traders who backed &#8220;Yes.&#8221; Their argument is equally straightforward: the market&#8217;s language refers to when the sale occurred, not when it was publicly announced — and the SEC filing explicitly places the transaction before the deadline.
Two separate proposed &#8220;No&#8221; resolutions were disputed by users, pushing the outcome to a binding vote by UMA token holders, which is expected to conclude within 48 to 96 hours, per Polymarket&#8217;s resolution rules. The market is now pricing &#8220;No&#8221; at 99.8 cents, per the Polymarket event page you provided.
As amplified by Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) on X, community reaction has been severe — with some users declaring a total loss of faith in the platform and others warning that an incorrect resolution will permanently damage Polymarket&#8217;s credibility with serious traders.
A Deeper Problem With The Oracle
The UMA token-voting mechanism at the center of this dispute carries its own structural baggage, per a Wall Street Journal investigation published in May. The Journal found that in most disputed Polymarket markets, more than half of UMA voting power is concentrated in the ten largest wallets.
Approximately 60% of active UMA voters can be linked to live Polymarket accounts. And roughly one in five disputes has at least one voter with a financial stake in the contract they are ruling on — a direct conflict of interest baked into the system&#8217;s design.
Since the start of 2026, Polymarket has logged more than 1,150 disputed markets — already surpassing the full-year 2025 total, per the Journal&#8217;s reporting. The MicroStrategy market is the highest-dollar live test the platform has faced since the $237 million Zelenskyy dispute last year.
This development marks a critical moment for the nascent prediction market sector — and for Polymarket specifically, which is simultaneously navigating a formal congressional investigation, two federal insider trading arrests tied to its platform, and now a resolution dispute that has exposed a fundamental structural question: in a market built on transparency, who watches the oracle?

This includes wrapping the XRP token, which enables users to deploy it on DeFi platforms to earn yield. 
Flare Founder Breaks Down How They Use XRP For DeFi
In an ‘XRP in One Minute’ episode, Philion stated that Flare’s mission has been to turn XRP into a collateral asset rather than just a transaction payment asset used on the XRP Ledger. He noted that users can move their XRP holdings to the Flare network in the form of wrapped XRP, which is known as FXRP. 
With this, users will then be able to deploy their XRP tokens on several lending protocols on the Flare network, where they can borrow stablecoins against their holdings. They can then deploy these stablecoins in other protocols to earn yields. The Flare founder also mentioned a second way to earn yield on one’s XRP holdings on the network. 
This involves placing one’s holdings in a vault, either on the Ledger or, soon, on the Flare network. This then enables a counterparty to take the XRP to a financial intermediary who can then deploy it into the markets and earn yield. Deploying the FXRP on the network has notably become one of the most common ways to earn yield in the XRP ecosystem.
FXRP currently has a market cap of almost $203 million, with just over 158 million tokens in circulation on the Flare network, according to CoinGecko data. This comes even as XRPL developers move to implement a native lending protocol on the network, allowing users to earn yields without moving their holdings to other networks.   
Plans To Boost DeFi On Flare
In an X post, Hugo Philion revealed that they are sourcing more stablecoin liquidity against which XRP can be deployed. Furthermore, they are working on expanding partnerships with institutions that have already committed to using XRPFi on Flare. He noted that the idea is to extend the range of deployment options.

Meanwhile, the Flare founder also revealed that they are acquiring new partners who are whales, so they can deploy their holdings into XRPFi on the network. At the same time, they are working towards trials with RWAs using Flare Confidential Compute and broadening the use of FDC through partnerships with entities that need such data. 
The Flare founder had highlighted these points in response to their plans to increase the total value locked on the network. DeFiLlama data shows that the total value locked in DeFi on the network is $144 million. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.28, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The initiative targets one of crypto’s most lucrative trading segments: perps, where volume still sits largely on centralized exchanges or hybrid venues.
Solana Vs. Hyperliquid
The Foundation framed the push as a bid to move derivatives execution more fully onto Solana, without relying on the offchain components that still underpin much of the sector. “Perpetuals are one of the most important financial primitives in crypto,” the Foundation wrote on X. “Solana makes it viable to run them fully onchain, without sacrificing the performance real participants and institutions require.”

— Solana Foundation (@SolanaFndn) June 1, 2026
The timing is notable. Hyperliquid has become the reference point for onchain derivatives, turning perpetual futures into one of the strongest product-market-fit stories in crypto. While Solana did not name Hyperliquid in its announcement, the competitive subtext is hard to miss.
In its post, the Foundation argued that most perp volume still flows through centralized exchanges or through hybrid architectures that use offchain sequencers and matching engines. “We view that as a transitional state, not a permanent one,” the Foundation said. “We want to support teams building onchain perps, other derivatives, and the applications around them, that prioritize price discovery infrastructure. Our support takes several forms: distribution, technical assistance, and above all, capital.”
That language matters because it draws a line between merely settling crypto trades onchain and running the entire execution path onchain. The foundation said it wants to support systems where every order submission, oracle update, match, cancellation and settlement happens onchain. For a chain that has long marketed itself around high throughput and low latency, perps are an obvious stress test: the product requires fast updates, deep liquidity, competitive market making and credible settlement.
The Foundation also made clear that it is not looking for pool-based pricing models as the center of this effort. It said it is interested in “models where price is set based on two-sided flow, not pool-based or as a function of deposits,” including orderbooks, RFQ systems with genuinely competing makers, or alternative designs where active participants set bids and offers against each other.
That is where the Hyperliquid comparison becomes especially relevant. Hyperliquid’s success has shown that crypto traders will use onchain or semi-onchain derivatives venues when the trading experience is fast, liquid and expressive enough.
Solana Wants Revenue Back Onchain
The announcement also included a more ecosystem-specific requirement: teams should build “Solana-first.” The Foundation said it wants projects optimized for SOL’s design and culture, with application revenue structurally routed back to the chain, preferably at the protocol level from launch rather than left to future governance decisions.
That is a pointed detail. In the current perps market, the battle is not only over where traders execute, but where fees, order flow and liquidity incentives accrue. A successful Solana-native perps venue would not merely add another DeFi app; it could become a recurring source of transaction activity, MEV-adjacent flow, validator economics and ecosystem-level liquidity.
The Foundation also said it is open to teams that have already built offchain or hybrid perps products and want to migrate to a fully onchain model. “We’ll support existing teams with a live product that are willing to explore a fully onchain, on-Solana model,” it said.
Open source is another filter. “Onchain integrity means little if the code behind it can’t be inspected,” Solana Foundation wrote. “Contributing to Solana culturally means contributing in the open.”
The initiative is not limited to core perps protocols. Solana said it also wants complementary infrastructure, including frontend integrations, vaults, structured products, aggregators, advanced trading interfaces, market making operations and social trading applications.

The firm said higher Japanese government bond yields and a warning from the IMF about waning demand for government debt could push markets into a tighter corner, a setup Bitwise believes may eventually favor Bitcoin.
Debt Pressure Returns To Center Stage
According to Bitwise, that kind of stress could matter if central banks answer with fresh liquidity. The firm framed Bitcoin as an asset that sits outside government balance sheets and does not depend on a central issuer, which gives it a different role when sovereign borrowing becomes harder to manage.
The report also linked Bitcoin’s appeal to real interest rates. Bitwise said the asset has tended to do better when real yields fall, and that a mix of sticky inflation and a pause from the Federal Reserve could help set that up.
Bitcoin’s May rally lost steam after a sharp run above $80,000. It briefly reached about $83,000, then slipped back toward $70,000 after ETF outflows gathered pace and sentiment cooled.
Bitcoin recovered above $80k in May 2026 before stalling at the $80k–$85k bull-bear threshold and subsequently falling to $72k. ETP outflows, sovereign bond stress, and record hodling defined the month.

A Tough Range For Traders
Bitwise said the move higher was helped by a short squeeze, stronger on-chain signals, and about $166.5 million in net inflows into Bitcoin ETPs. Long-term holders also added about 125,000 BTC during the prior month, which gave the rally some support.
That picture changed fast. Global Bitcoin ETPs saw more than $1 billion in net outflows, and the firm said that pressure knocked confidence lower as Bitcoin failed to clear the $80,000 to $85,000 band.
Bitwise called that zone the market’s main dividing line. It said price action around that range will keep shaping whether traders view the market as healthy or fragile.
Holding Patterns Keep Tightening Supply
Even with weaker demand, Bitwise said the supply side is moving in a tighter direction. Long-term investors now hold a record 14.85 million BTC, or about 73% of the circulating supply.
The firm added that 60% of Bitcoin has not moved in more than a year, 48.5% for more than two years, 42.8% for more than three years, and 33% for at least five years. That kind of inactivity, Bitwise said, is squeezing available supply while buyers have been slower to return.
The report also argued that Bitcoin still looks cheap beside major US tech stocks. It said Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio sits below its long-run average, while the Nasdaq 100’s price-to-book reading is near record highs.
Price Levels Still Matter
Bitwise pointed to $78,000 to $80,000 as the key area to watch, with $83,000 to $85,000 marked as the first major ceiling. It listed $73,000 as important support and $95,000 as the next upside target.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $69,460, down 4.7% in the last 24 hours, data from Coingecko shows.
