Ethereum OG Wallet Has Turned $620 Into $4.2 Million
According to data from cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert, an old Ethereum wallet has just broken a 10.8-year phase of dormancy. The address in question held a total of 2,000 ETH, worth $620 back in 2015.
The wallet is so old that Whale Alert classifies it as a pre-mine address. In the context of ETH, a &#8220;pre-mine address&#8221; refers to one that received its tokens before mining began on the network with its public launch in 2015. Such wallets were allocated these coins because they belonged to early contributors and participants of the presale in 2014.
Interestingly, despite getting in early on the cryptocurrency, this particular investor just never participated in activity, with their only transaction in over 10 years being the deposit that they received at the blockchain&#8217;s genesis.
Now, the pre-mine address has suddenly been reactivated. Below are the details related to the transaction that broke the long spell of dormancy for the wallet.
As is visible, the move involved a sum of just 1 ETH, suggesting that it was likely a test transaction. After this transfer, the wallet followed up with a few more transactions, including a 1,997.9 ETH shift that nearly completely emptied out its balance. So far, these coins haven&#8217;t made their way to a centralized exchange, so it&#8217;s hard to say whether the investor is looking to sell them.
As mentioned before, the Ethereum stack held by the address was worth just $620 back in 2015. Today, the same amount converts to more than $4.2 million, representing a gain of nearly 630,000%.
What could be the reason behind the OG making a sudden return? Well, the answer to that would lie in what happened to the wallet after it fell silent. Often, addresses that are this old get to their age not via resolute HODLing, but by being lost or forgotten. As such, it&#8217;s possible that this address was simply inaccessible during its dormancy and just recently had its keys rediscovered.
A less probable, but not impossible, scenario is that the Ethereum balance indeed reached its age by long-term holding. If so, the investor would be among the most stalwart of diamonds in the digital asset sector.
ETH Price
Ethereum declined toward the $2,000 level a few days ago, but the cryptocurrency has managed to claw its way back up as its price is now trading around $2,130.

The indecision is real and the chart reflects it — but a CryptoQuant report tracking derivatives activity has identified two separate events in May that suggest the market may be quietly positioning for exactly the kind of decisive move that the price action has been withholding.
On May 22, XRP open interest expanded sharply across major derivatives exchanges in a single session. Binance added approximately 25.6 million XRP in open interest while Bybit added approximately 54 million XRP — a combined increase of nearly 79.6 million XRP representing roughly $107 million in new notional positioning at the prevailing price near $1.35.
The move was not an isolated event. On May 26, an almost identical expansion occurred. Binance added another 28.9 million XRP in open interest and Bybit increased by 42.9 million XRP — a combined rise of 71.8 million XRP worth approximately $96 million as XRP traded near $1.34.
Two separate sessions. Two nearly identical open interest expansions. A combined $203 million in new derivatives positioning was added within four days in a market that has shown no directional conviction for months. Something is being built — and the CryptoQuant report examines exactly what the flow data behind that positioning reveals about which direction it is pointing.
$203M in New Positioning and Rising Spot Demand
The CryptoQuant analysis places the two open interest expansions in historical context immediately. These were the strongest XRP derivatives positioning events since March 16 — meaning speculative activity has returned to levels not seen in over two months after a prolonged period of subdued derivatives participation. The market is not simply active. It is more active than it has been at any point since before the most recent consolidation phase began.
Open interest confirms the return of leverage. Direction requires the taker to flow data, and that data reveals the split that makes the current setup structurally significant. Binance Perpetual CVD has fallen to approximately -$641.9 million, a record negative reading that confirms aggressive selling has dominated XRP&#8217;s perpetual markets throughout the open interest expansion. New positions are being built, and the participants building them on Binance are predominantly short.
Against that, derivatives selling, All CEX Estimated Spot CVD has climbed to approximately $397.3 million — exceeding the April levels that sat near $380 million and confirming that genuine spot demand has been strengthening simultaneously. Real buyers accumulating in spot markets while derivatives traders build short positions is the divergence that defines the current structure.
The liquidation data adds the layer that determines when the divergence resolves. On May 23, XRP long liquidations reached approximately $5.44 million — the highest since February 5, 2026. The forced exits have been hitting longs rather than shorts, meaning the squeeze pressure is building on the short side rather than releasing it. If spot CVD maintains its strength while perpetual CVD remains at record negative territory, the conditions for a short squeeze are assembling — not yet triggered, but accumulating with every session that the divergence persists without resolution.
XRP Continues In Compression As Market Waits For Confirmation
XRP remains locked in a prolonged consolidation structure near the $1.35 region, with the daily chart showing a market that has struggled to establish momentum in either direction since the sharp February breakdown. Price action continues grinding sideways beneath all major moving averages, reinforcing the broader bearish structure that has controlled XRP for most of 2026.
Technically, the chart highlights the importance of the $1.30–$1.35 support zone, which buyers have defended repeatedly during the past three months. Every selloff into this region has attracted enough demand to prevent a deeper breakdown, but bulls have also consistently failed to reclaim the $1.45–$1.50 resistance area that caps every recovery attempt. The result is a compressed range structure with declining volatility and increasingly neutral momentum conditions.
The moving averages also reflect this indecision. The shorter-term averages have flattened significantly while the 200-day moving average continues trending downward overhead, signaling that XRP has not yet transitioned into a confirmed recovery structure despite the stabilization seen since March.
Volume remains relatively muted compared to the massive liquidation-driven spike recorded during February’s collapse, suggesting that aggressive market participation has not fully returned yet. However, prolonged compression phases like the current one often precede major volatility expansions once liquidity builds sufficiently on both sides of the range. A breakout above $1.45 could trigger renewed bullish momentum, while losing the $1.30 support zone would likely accelerate downside pressure quickly.

In a Bankless interview on May 25, Prince argued that the internet’s ad-based business model is breaking as AI bots consume content without sending human traffic back to publishers.
Why Crypto Stablecoins Need 100 Million TPS
Prince framed the issue as less a bandwidth crisis than an economic one. Cloudflare, he said, expects AI bot traffic to exceed human internet traffic in the first half of 2027, a shift that will massively increase the number of requests hitting websites. Technically, he said, the internet can probably absorb that pressure. The harder question is who pays for the servers, security, publishing and infrastructure underneath it.
“The big question though is what’s the business model going to be and who’s going to pay for it,” Prince said. “If the business model of the internet for the last, you know, 30 years has been ads and subscriptions, problem is agents don’t click on ads. And buying one subscription and then having agents be able to basically pick all of the content back up from that, that’s not going to help make sure that the people who are creating that content get compensated.”
That argument sits at the center of Cloudflare’s push into “pay for crawl,” x402 and stablecoin-based payments. Prince said the HTTP 402 “payment required” response code has existed for years, but the missing piece has been a payment rail cheap and fast enough to handle fractions of a cent at enormous volume. Visa-style card infrastructure, he argued, cannot support that model because transaction fees make tiny payments uneconomic.
Cloudflare’s scale makes the requirement unusually stark. Prince said the company handles about 500 million requests per second. It estimates that 1% to 10% of those requests could be monetizable, implying roughly 5 million to 50 million paid requests per second if the model took off across its network. That is why Prince said even systems claiming 2 million transactions per second are still below Cloudflare’s likely needs.
“What we’ve struggled with is people will say to us, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re so excited. We can handle 2 million transactions per second.’ And I’m like, ‘It’s awesome. Good job.’ But I think day one I need 10 million transactions per second,” Prince said. He later sharpened the challenge: “So if you want to go build like a layer 1 blockchain that can support 100 million transactions per second, call us.”
For crypto, the comments amount to both validation and a technical indictment. Prince is not describing stablecoins as a marginal payment feature, but as infrastructure for an agentic web where bots pay for access in the background. At the same time, he said he does not yet see a blockchain ecosystem capable of handling the throughput Cloudflare would need if it switched the system on at scale.
The proposed end state is not simply paywalls for AI. Prince described a model where humans could still access content freely, while automated agents pay publishers and infrastructure providers through embedded microtransactions. Bankless summarized the idea as “humans get content for free and the robots pay a ton,” a line Prince endorsed as close to the objective.
Cloudflare’s role, in his telling, is coordination. The company sits in front of a large share of the web, counts many AI firms as customers and already gives site operators tools to control crawler access. Prince said the aim is to let publishers decide whether they want AI systems to consume their content freely, block them, or charge for access.
At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $2.55 trillion.

Despite repeated recovery attempts throughout May, LINK has failed to establish sustained bullish momentum, leaving the asset trapped beneath key resistance while market participation remains relatively subdued.
However, a CryptoQuant analysis tracking Binance exchange flows suggests that the underlying market structure may be shifting in a way that price action alone is not yet reflecting.
According to the analysis, Binance netflows have remained deeply negative throughout May, with continuous outflows dominating exchange activity. The persistent red bars across the charts indicate that large holders are aggressively withdrawing LINK from Binance and moving tokens into self-custody wallets rather than preparing them for sale on the open market. This behavior is typically associated with long-term positioning and institutional-style accumulation rather than short-term speculative trading activity.
The implications for supply dynamics are significant. As LINK continues leaving exchanges in large quantities, the amount of immediately available sell-side liquidity on Binance order books gradually declines. The analysis notes that this type of prolonged exchange depletion historically creates conditions for a potential supply shock, where even moderate buying pressure can produce disproportionately strong price movements because fewer tokens remain available for sellers to distribute into demand.
AWS CCIP and a Support Level That Refuses to Break
The CryptoQuant analyst identifies the support defense around May 22 as structurally significant rather than coincidental. When outflow spikes create temporary selling pressure — coins moving off exchanges in volume while the price tests support — the market&#8217;s ability to absorb that pressure without breaking lower confirms that genuine demand exists at the current level.
The buyers defending this zone are not simply catching a falling asset. They are absorbing supply at a price they have repeatedly chosen to defend.
The fundamental backdrop adds the dimension that separates the current accumulation pattern from purely technical behavior. Chainlink&#8217;s integration into the AWS Marketplace, effective May 25, 2026, materially lowers the barrier for institutional participants to access and implement CCIP — Chainlink&#8217;s cross-chain interoperability protocol.
As CCIP establishes itself as the infrastructure standard for connecting blockchain networks, the demand for LINK begins decoupling from the Bitcoin-beta correlation that has historically defined its price movements. Utility-driven demand and speculative demand behave differently — and the exchange flow data suggests the former is increasingly present.
The forward condition the analysis identifies is precise. As long as outflows continue outpacing inflows on Binance, the accumulation phase remains structurally intact. Sideways consolidation at a defended support zone — with exchange liquidity gradually exhausting — has historically preceded sharp breakouts rather than breakdowns. The supply is leaving. The buyers are holding. The AWS catalyst has arrived. The setup is assembling quietly while the price waits for the final piece.
Chainlink Consolidates Below Major Resistance
Chainlink continues trading below the psychological $10 level after months of sustained selling pressure, but the weekly chart suggests the asset may be attempting to build a long-term base near a historically important support region. LINK is currently consolidating around $9.60 after recovering from the sharp breakdown that pushed price briefly below the $8 mark earlier this year.
Technically, the chart shows Chainlink trapped beneath the 50-week, 100-week, and 200-week moving averages, all of which continue acting as dynamic resistance overhead. The rejection from the $25 region in late 2025 initiated a strong bearish trend that erased much of the previous rally and forced LINK back toward levels last seen before the major breakout phase of 2023.
However, the current structure differs from earlier periods of weakness because volatility has begun compressing significantly near support. Since March, sellers have repeatedly failed to push LINK decisively below the $8–$9 region despite broader market uncertainty. That behavior suggests buyers continue absorbing supply near these levels, reinforcing the accumulation narrative reflected in Binance outflow data.
Volume has also declined during the consolidation phase, a condition often associated with exhaustion in directional momentum. If LINK eventually reclaims the $12 region and breaks above the cluster of weekly moving averages, the current sideways structure could transform into the foundation for a larger recovery phase driven by tightening exchange supply conditions.

The Kalshi platform had consistently favored the Democratic challenger in the House race as well, with Christian Menefee&#8217;s odds holding firm since February.
Two PACs with ties to the cryptocurrency industry are behind millions of dollars in advertising spending tied to both races.
The Stakes Behind The Spending
Texas voters cast ballots Tuesday in two runoffs — one statewide, one in the Houston-area 18th congressional district. On the Republican side, Paxton faced Cornyn for the US Senate seat.
On the Democratic side, Green faced Menefee to determine who runs in November&#8217;s general election. The outcomes could shape the balance of power in Congress when the new session begins in 2027.
Protect Progress, which is affiliated with the Ripple- and Coinbase-backed Fairshake PAC, reported spending $5 million on ads backing Menefee. It spent another $2.8 million on ads that ran against Green, whom the PAC described as &#8220;actively hostile&#8221; to digital assets.
Reports disclose that Menefee also drew the endorsement of the Blockchain Leadership Fund, a committee backed by Anchorage Digital and Chainlink Labs, though that group had not reported any expenditures as of Monday.
An Unusual Advertising Strategy
Not all of the ads focused on cryptocurrency. At least one spot funded by Protect Progress attacked Green over his opposition to US President Donald Trump — with no mention of crypto or blockchain anywhere in the ad.
A local commentator who appeared on a FOX26 segment said he saw 12 television commercials in a single day paid for by the Protect Progress PAC, pointing out that the same group of people funding those ads are also among Trump&#8217;s primary financial backers.
The Senate race drew spending from a separate PAC. The Fellowship PAC, backed by Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage, reported a $500,000 expenditure in support of Paxton — a move that came roughly 24 hours after Trump endorsed Paxton and criticized Cornyn for being slow to back him as a Republican presidential candidate.
Prediction Markets And What They Showed
Kalshi gave Menefee a 91% chance of winning the Democratic House primary. Rival platform Polymarket showed similar odds for both candidates in their respective races.
Under the current Republican-led Congress, lawmakers have already passed cryptocurrency-friendly legislation, including the stablecoin GENIUS Act, giving the industry a clear interest in who holds these seats when the next session convenes.

The premise of everything changing in one month is not based on one chart alone but on a combination of cycle timing, HODL wave behavior, drawdown patterns, and on-chain bottom signals that have always characterized the final stage of previous Bitcoin bear phases.
Technical analysis shows that Bitcoin may still be moving through the final part of a bear market sequence, and it may not be until October that everything changes.
A Typical Late-Stage Setup
Bitcoin is trading around $76,000 to $77,000 in the last week of May 2026, down by 39% from the all-time high it set in October 2025. Fear and Greed readings are now back to fear, retail sentiment is now fragile, and various technical signals are pointing to the fact that the real bottom hasn&#8217;t arrived yet.
As shown in the technical chart below, which depicts Bitcoin&#8217;s repetition fractal cycle, the cryptocurrency has created a cycle of bottoms, moving through accumulation, entering a strong markup phase, topping out, and then spending months pushing through a bear market before the next major bottom formed.

The 2018 and 2022 cycle lows both arrived only after traders had already spent months believing the worst was behind them, but that is the warning behind the current analysis. The chart shows Bitcoin already deep into its present cycle, but it does not yet suggest that the final bottom has been fully confirmed.
Instead, the projected structure places the next major bottom around October 2026. According to a crypto analyst that goes by the name Tice on the social media platform X, every major signal is converging on the same month. These signals include cycle timing, HODL Wave analysis, on-chain bottom indicators, and historical drawdown patterns.
What To Expect Before The October Window
The average length of previous bear market corrections has always come up to somewhere around 12 months. Based on the average length of prior bull and bear markets, analysts calculating from the October 6, 2025 all-time high of $126,000 estimate four more months of corrections before Bitcoin&#8217;s price bottoms, a timeline that points to mid-October 2026.
There are multiple analyses using previous cycles that show Bitcoin still needs to create a lower low before the correction timeline ends. However, history does not have to repeat with perfect precision, and the projected timeline does not automatically mean Bitcoin must break below its early February bottom near $63,000. 
The bottom may already be in place, but the correction timeline suggests Bitcoin could be stuck in a continued consolidation phase before the next major bull rally begins around October 2026. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $76,640.

Crypto: The Digital Chamber Rejects Risk Claims From National Trust Charters</title><description><![CDATA[Senator Elizabeth Warren’s criticism of how the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) handled national trust bank charters for digital asset firms has triggered a direct response from the crypto industry. 
On Tuesday, The Digital Chamber (TDC) sent a letter to Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould, pushing back on Warren’s claims and arguing that the OCC’s actions were both lawful and grounded in a careful supervisory review.
Why Warren Targets OCC Crypto Charters
The dispute centers on a letter Warren wrote to Gould earlier this month, following reports that the OCC had approved national trust charters for a range of digital-asset companies. 
Warren’s argument, as reported by Bitcoinist ahead of TDC’s reply, is that at least some of the firms appear to be “seemingly ineligible” for the kind of charter they received. 
In her letter, the senator said the OCC approved at least nine national trust charters for crypto companies that, in her view, “appear to go far beyond the narrow set of activities permitted by law.” Warren also went further by describing what she sees as an “apparent violation of the National Bank Act.”
However, TDC argued that the charter decisions represent “a legally sound and long-overdue step” toward bringing digital asset activities into the federal prudential framework, which it described as being focused on safety and soundness. 
The Digital Chamber’s Response
The Digital Chamber emphasized that the firms named in Warren’s letter were not simply handed permission. According to TDC, each company went through a rigorous OCC review and met applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. 
The group said charters, or conditional approvals for charters, were granted only after each firm demonstrated that its proposed activities fit within permissible activities for national trust banks. 
TDC further rejected Warren’s characterization that the approvals could amount to “apparent violations” of the National Bank Act, arguing that this view misunderstands both the statute and the OCC’s longstanding authority to grant charters. 
At the end of the letter, The Digital Chamber said it is ready to work with the OCC, Congress, and other stakeholders to help ensure that the federal framework for digital asset activities is both legally durable and functionally effective. 
The group concluded that it does not view the chartered banks as threats to the banking system, calling them regulated federal entities operating under OCC supervision and arguing they represent “the future of a more inclusive and competitive financial system.”

This macro resistance level that has defined Bitcoin&#8217;s price ceiling for nearly five years has once again turned back the bulls, and the consequences could be far more severe than the price action is currently pricing in.
Bitcoin Rejection At Macro Resistance
Bitcoin has run into a resistance level that has not mattered this much in years, in reference to the most recent rejection at $83,000 on May 6. According to a crypto analyst that goes by the name Chiefy on the social media platform X, that rejection is not just another failed rally but a reaction from a five-year macro resistance line that has touched some of Bitcoin’s most important turning points since the last major cycle.
The analyst believes Bitcoin has now followed the structure he previously warned about, moving into a bull trap near $83,000 before rejecting and falling to as low as $74,000. The trendline behind that rejection is important because it connects the early 2021 and mid-2021 cycle tops, stretches through Bitcoin’s first breakout above it in 2024, later acted as support in early 2025, and has now returned as resistance around the $83,000 zone.
Interestingly, the rejection zone also lines up with the 200MA. Rejections from this moving average have appeared around major cycle turning points in the past, including the 2014, 2018, and 2022 market phases.
The Levels That Now Matter
Now with the initial phase of Chiefy&#8217;s projection already confirmed, the next important thing is what comes next. Notably, there are three downside targets if Bitcoin continues to follow the pattern: $68,000, $61,000, and $48,000. 
These levels fit the path drawn on the chart above, which shows Bitcoin first breaking lower below $76,000, then forming a brief relief bounce, before falling deeper into the red-circled $48,000 area. The most extreme bottom target of $48,000 is close to the weekly 350 moving average shown in pink and would be the final reset from the recent $83,000 bull-trap zone.
Bitcoin’s reaction around $74,000 now matters most because it could determine whether Chiefy’s bearish map will be feasible. The drop into that region came immediately after the rejection, but it has recovered back above $76,000 and is trading at $76,580 at the time of writing. 
Even with that rebound, Bitcoin is still close to a support area that looks fragile. Sentiment shows that the market is no longer in a strong risk-on phase, with CoinMarketCap&#8217;s Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index now at 39, placing the market in a fear mood. A break below $74,000 would put $68,000 in focus as the next logical downside target.

Data from a key metric now shows that the BTC market is entering a cooling phase as volatility slowly subsides.
Bitcoin Ongoing Market Volatility Is Easing
The Bitcoin market is currently witnessing a crucial shift in conditions as the BTC Annualized Realized Volatility Index flips back toward the downside. According to Arab Chain, a market expert and author at the CryptoQuant platform, this move points to a steady cool-down in market turbulence, along with BTC’s price trading near the $76,000 level.
Compared to earlier periods of extreme market fluctuations, Bitcoin&#8217;s price fluctuations are becoming less erratic, which may indicate a period of consolidation or stabilizing investor behavior. As seen in the 30-day chart, the key metric has dropped to around 0.26, which represents its lowest level since the beginning of 2026.
When the index reaches this level, it often indicates an environment of relative calm in market fluctuations, in contrast to previous times when there was significant volatility and abrupt price swings. Furthermore, the data shows that the market experienced repeated waves of heightened volatility over the past month, particularly in times of rallies or sharp corrections. 
Previously, the metric saw a rise to levels exceeding 0.70 in some phases, which coincided with strong price movements. However, Arab Chain highlighted the recent gradual retreat in volatility, indicating that the market has transitioned into a phase of greater stability and relative calm.
When volatility is low, these periods are often associated with a state of anticipation in the market. Here, investors tend to limit their exposure to risks and await new catalysts that could push Bitcoin’s price into a clearer direction. In addition, sustained low volatility levels could be a sign of decreased liquidity and a decline in speculative activity relative to periods of strong activity.
While a drop in the volatility index is not inherently considered a bullish or bearish signal, markets typically experience strong movements following prolonged periods of calm. This is mostly evidenced when positions accumulate in a specific direction within the derivatives market. As a result, traders are keeping a close eye on this indicator in order to determine whether the market is likely to trigger a fresh wave of volatility in the coming period.
Fewer Investors Are Accumulating BTC
Given volatility across the market, Bitcoin investors are demonstrating cautious behavior as buying activity drops. Joao Wedson, the founder of Alphractal, has revealed that fewer wallet addresses are truly accumulating Bitcoin right now compared to 60 days ago.
During this phase, Michael Saylor’s Strategy has continued to acquire more BTC. However, the company’s accumulation is basically insignificant when compared to the scale of the entire Bitcoin blockchain. Wedson has noted that real accumulation often occurs in periods of extreme fear when the crowd is convinced that BTC is dead.

That was the message pushed by crypto commentator Remi Relief, who argued that future XRP valuations could become large enough to turn regular investors into millionaires and, in some cases, even billionaires.
The Big Price Theory
The idea of crypto assets creating life-changing wealth is not new. Bitcoin created millionaires after climbing from under $1 in 2011 to more than $100,000 by 2025 across multiple market cycles. Ethereum produced similar stories after rising from single-digit prices in 2015 to several thousand dollars during the 2021 bull run. Solana and Binance Coin also delivered explosive gains between 2020 and 2021 as adoption and institutional attention grew. 
With an infrastructure connected to something far larger than ordinary retail speculation, Remi Relief believes XRP could do the same. He recently projected XRP’s climb toward the $1,200 to $1,700 range if its role within global finance expands rapidly in the years ahead. 
Part of his outlook centers on an incoming period of regulatory and market clarity that he expects around July 4. He believes that moment could trigger a major push.
With that in mind, he warned the community against becoming careless during a major rally. Instead of encouraging endless holding, he advised traders to take profits gradually at different stages of the market cycle to improve the chances of preserving gains. He also pointed to May through September as a potentially decisive period. According to him, clearer rules and stronger institutional confidence could become a catalyst for a sharp XRP rally and wider momentum across the crypto market.
The Institutional Edge Behind XRP
XRP’s biggest selling point remains its connection to payments and liquidity movement. Ripple has spent years positioning the technology toward banks, remittance firms, and payment providers searching for faster and cheaper cross-border transactions.
That institutional angle is why analysts like Remi Relief believe the cryptocurrency still has room for a dramatic repricing event. Supporters argue that if financial institutions begin relying more heavily on blockchain settlement systems, assets linked to real-world utility could see demand rise sharply.
The analyst also tied XRP’s future to broader economic pressure. In his view, a major downturn in traditional markets could boost crypto adoption as governments and institutions search for more efficient financial systems. He even suggested that a severe economic collapse could eventually push the altcoin toward far more extreme valuations, potentially reaching $10,000 if global financial infrastructure increasingly depends on the asset for liquidity and settlement.
Whether XRP reaches the massive numbers being discussed remains uncertain. However, the growing focus on utility, institutional finance, and global payment infrastructure is changing how many investors view the asset. That shift is exactly why some market participants now believe XRP could eventually become one of crypto’s biggest wealth-generation stories.

Why Price Could Double</title><description><![CDATA[Despite recording multiple price declines in recent weeks, a crypto market expert believes that Ethereum (ETH) could still stage its biggest comeback in history. The analyst has projected a massive price spike toward $3,300, expecting it to occur within just a few weeks. He has attributed this bullish forecast to a recent shift in market dynamics, with buyers now returning after a long period of selling pressure and volatility. 
Ethereum Forecasted To Nearly Double In Value Soon
A pseudonymous TradingView crypto analyst known as Mrlaimfx09 has shared a compelling, strongly bullish outlook for Ethereum&#8217;s price. At the top of his report, the expert boldly predicted that ETH is preparing for its greatest turnaround yet. 
Sharing a price chart, Mrlaimfx09 showed that Ethereum was trading around $2,071 at the time of the analysis. The analyst noted that price action has been holding firmly within a key weekly demand zone following a sharp market sell-off that kept the ETH price stuck in an extended downtrend. 
With selling pressure now seemingly fading, the analyst stated that buyers are finally returning to the market, helping to keep prices from falling even lower. He noted that this sudden shift in momentum suggests a bullish reversal could be forming for ETH, particularly if its price continues to defend the critical support area around $2,000. 
Notably, Mrlaimfx09 predicted that if Ethereum can maintain strength above $2,000, it could eventually stage a successful recovery toward $3,000. Before that move, the analyst predicts a sharp rally toward the first liquidity target around $2,400. From there, he expects momentum to extend ETH’s bullish run back toward the $3,000 psychological level, before potentially pushing higher toward the upper target around $3,300. The analyst explained that each bullish level represents a key liquidation zone where the price could react during a recovery phase.  
Even more interestingly, Mrlaimfx09 predicts that all of these upside moves could unfold in the coming weeks. He emphasized that Ethereum’s momentum is steadily shifting toward a more bullish outlook as its market structure stabilizes. The analyst also expects his projected reversal for Ethereum to form on the high-time frame (HTF). 
A Possible Invalidation And Drop Below $2,000
On the more bearish side, Mrlaimfx09 has acknowledged the possibility of Ethereum completely invalidating its bullish structure and crashing downwards. He noted that if ETH’s price closes the week below the demand zone around $2,071, then the market should expect a major breakdown. 
The analyst’s chart clearly shows this downside scenario, tracing a potential move toward the downside price target around $1,734. Notably, a drop to this level could represent a loss of more than 17% from current levels, further weakening Ethereum’s market structure FX. At the time of writing, the price of ETH is sitting around $2,090, reflecting steady volatility over the past few weeks and more than 2% in the last seven days.

This shift in dynamics is currently being reflected in the Whale Vs Retail Delta, which is exhibiting a bullish move once again.
A Positive Shift In XRP Whale Vs Retail Delta
After a brief bounce, the price of XRP is trading around the $1.35 level, which may indicate renewed upside momentum. During this period, on-chain data shows that a notable shift in market dynamics is unfolding for the leading altcoin.
CW, a data and crypto analyst on the CryptoQuant platform, shared in a post on X that the Whale Vs Retail Delta has transitioned toward the upside trajectory. Looking at the chart, the metric has now moved to the 0.45 level following a period of downside activity.
What this means is that positions held by XRP whales are extremely high. The trend is a sign that larger investors are exerting more influence on market movement than retail traders, which might indicate a resurgence of confidence in spite of continued volatility. 
As of today, the proportion of long positions held by retail investors is low, indicating ongoing selling pressure as these players exit the market. This metric is one that is closely watched by market participants due to the fact that it can determine whether institutional-sized players or smaller traders are driving price action.
However, given the high percentage of whales and the low percentage of retail investors, it appears that the impending rally will likely follow the desire of whales. The coming sessions will determine whether this growing imbalance will trigger the early stages of a broader bullish move for the altcoin.
Even with a negative market environment, XRP buying activity seems to be picking up pace, which likely led to its brief bounce on Monday. In another X post, CW outlined a growing balance as buying activity is occurring in both the Spot and Futures markets.
Data shows that net buying is taking place in the futures market, and net buying in the spot market is also strong, reflecting renewed conviction among investors. The heightened buying action is heavily observed on Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange, followed by Coinbase. CW claims that the strongest XRP buying pressure in recent times is taking place.
Historical Bullish Pattern Is Re-Emerging
XRP may be struggling to push upward, but the current structure points to a bullish move in the short term. Coinvo Trading, a crypto analyst, has predicted an impending massive move for the altcoin backed by historical price patterns.
In the monthly time frame chart, the token witnessed an expansion of over 600% after a takeout and the formation of a triangular pattern in 2024. The move ultimately kick-started the bull market phase as the crypto market turned highly positive during the period.
Now in 2026, this bullish pattern is repeating with the same breakout, raising the likelihood of a strong bounce. Should history repeat, XRP is expected to skyrocket at any moment from now.

The evolution of finance is fundamentally a silent revolution focused on breaking barriers and enhancing efficiency.

GSR Research Flags Ethereum’s Identity Crisis
In a note titled “Ethereum’s Identity Crisis,” Guzman framed the issue as more than a temporary morale problem. At least nine senior EF contributors have departed in 2026, according to the note, including five in May alone. The list includes protocol cluster leads Tim Beiko and Barnabé Monnot, veteran researchers Carl Beekhuizen and Julian Ma, and former co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak.
Several of the exits followed an internal mandate centered on CROPS, shorthand for censorship resistance, open source, privacy and security. The framework was intended to clarify the foundation’s priorities, but Guzman wrote that many in the community perceived it as deprioritizing growth and adoption at a moment when Ethereum is already under pressure from faster-moving rivals.
The personnel churn has amplified a broader debate over whether the EF should remain a narrow research and protocol institution or take a more active role in defending Ethereum’s market position. Dankrad Feist, formerly at the foundation, publicly called for a new $1 billion-plus organization economically aligned with Ethereum to fill what he sees as an institutional void. Bankless co-host and long-time ETH bull David Hoffman also said he had sold all of his ETH, citing frustration with leadership he views as insufficiently focused on growth.
The market backdrop has made the internal debate harder to dismiss. Guzman noted that ETH is down roughly 30% year to date, while the ETH/BTC ratio fell to 0.027 in May, its lowest level since mid-2025. Network revenue has also weakened as Ethereum cedes ground to chains such as Solana, Tron and Hyperliquid. Revenue is not a complete measure of network health, particularly as blockchains deliberately reduce fees to attract users, but the trend has fed the perception that Ethereum’s economic gravity is weakening.
Vitalik Buterin responded with a lengthy post on X that sought to redefine the foundation’s role rather than expand it. Buterin described the EF as “a smaller ship” that should sell less ETH and focus narrowly on CROPS. He also argued that the foundation should be viewed as “one node, with a defined purpose,” not the center of Ethereum itself.
That framing is central to the tension Guzman identifies. Buterin’s argument is that moving talented people into roles outside the foundation may be necessary if the ecosystem is to attract outside capital and develop independent leadership. The foundation, in this view, should not become ETH’s growth department. It should preserve the properties that make Ethereum credible in the first place.
Buterin’s technical vision rests on three pillars that he said could make Ethereum “deeply impressive” in ways competitors cannot easily replicate. The first is provably bug-free software through AI-assisted formal verification, an approach that appeared unrealistic until recently but may now be moving closer to feasibility.
The second is what he called “available chain consensus,” a property Guzman described as unique among proof-of-stake chains because it combines traditional BFT-style safety under network asynchrony with Bitcoin-like safety under synchrony against attackers up to 49%. The third is intermediary minimization, reducing Ethereum’s reliance on centralized relayers and third-party infrastructure for transaction inclusion and privacy through proposals such as FOCIL and EIP-8141.
The core bet is credible neutrality. Guzman argued that this remains a more compelling advantage than Ethereum’s critics often acknowledge. The view that “blockspace is a commodity” misses an important point: users have repeatedly shown a willingness to pay more to transact on one chain rather than another when that chain offers superior assets, applications, liquidity and network effects.
But the note also underscored the limits of that argument. Credible neutrality may attract builders and institutions, but users still need affordable transactions, fast execution, privacy and a workable experience. On several of those fronts, Ethereum remains vulnerable to competitors that are optimizing for throughput, fees and user experience today while promising stronger neutrality tomorrow.
Guzman’s conclusion is not that Buterin’s vision is wrong. It is that Ethereum’s window to execute on it is not unlimited. The question now is whether a smaller, more narrowly focused EF can preserve Ethereum’s deepest differentiator while the rest of the ecosystem builds the growth machinery around it.
At press time, ETH traded at $2,097.

These funds are also outperforming the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which are seeing outflows as BTC and ETH trend downwards. 
XRP ETFs Record Steady Inflows Even As Price Declines
SoSoValue data shows that the XRP ETFs have yet to record any outflows this month, boasting a net inflow of $116.74 million. These funds now have a total net inflow of $1.41 billion since they launched last year. Meanwhile, they hold total net assets of $1.13 billion, which represents 1.36% of XRP’s market cap. 
These inflows into the XRP ETFs come despite XRP’s downtrend alongside the broader crypto market. The altcoin notably dropped to a new low of around $1.31 last week, but funds have yet to see outflows, signaling strong institutional demand. These ETFs are also notably outperforming the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Further data from SoSoValue shows that Bitcoin ETFs have seen net outflows of $1 billion this month and are currently on a six-day streak of consecutive outflows. At the same time, the Ethereum ETFs have seen net outflows of almost $300 million and are currently on a 10-day streak of consecutive outflows. 
Meanwhile, continued inflows into XRP ETFs coincide with XRP’s crowd sentiment turning negative again. The ratio of positive to negative commentary is dropping to just 1.1 bullish comments per 1 bearish comment, according to Santiment. The on-chain analytics platform noted that historically, this kind of fear and skepticism has often acted as a contrarian signal for XRP’s price. As such, this could be the perfect buy-the-dip opportunity in preparation for a potential bullish reversal. 
What Institutional Investors Are Focused On
In an X post, crypto pundit X Finance Bull said that institutions buying XRP through ETF products are not reacting to the weekly price action but are positioning ahead of catalysts. These catalysts include the CLARITY Act, Kevin Warsh as the new Fed Chair, the DTCC tokenization going live in July, Ripple Prime’s $200 million debt facility, and the JPMorgan settlement on the XRP Ledger. 
X Finance Bull remarked that institutional capital is making a statement about which assets they believe in through the downturn, as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs see outflows while XRP ETFs see inflows. He added that smart money accumulates when the price goes down. Notably, XRP is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the CLARITY Act, especially as Ripple continues to expand its operations. Another bullish catalyst for XRP is that the XRP Ledger continues to see increased tokenization activity. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.33, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A Shared Home For Different Markets
The platform is built on X Layer, OKX&#8217;s Ethereum layer-2 network, and lets users build their own spot, perpetuals, and outcomes markets from the ground up. It draws on the same infrastructure that powers OKX&#8217;s main exchange, giving any market created on it access to a shared pool of liquidity.
OKX founder and CEO Star Xu said the current state of crypto trading suffers from deep fragmentation. Trading, settlement, margining, and liquidity functions, he argued, remain trapped inside disconnected venues — even as blockchain made open asset issuance possible.
Exchange OS is designed to pull those functions under one roof, creating what Xu described as a shared environment where different market types can run on the same underlying rails.
Users building on the platform can also create their own assets, oracle systems, revenue models, and compliance frameworks. The setup supports both permissioned and permissionless arrangements, meaning a regulated institution could run a fully KYC-compliant venue on the same infrastructure stack as a permissionless Web3 project.
The First Market To Go Live
The first market to be built on Exchange OS will be tied to the FIFA World Cup, structured as a predictions-style market. It marks the opening move in a three-phase rollout that OKX laid out publicly.
The current phase is limited to select partners who are building on the platform before it opens to the public. A wider public launch is planned for the third quarter of 2026, with protocol upgrades set to follow in the fourth quarter and beyond.
OKX has been expanding well past its origins as a spot and derivatives exchange. Reports indicate the company has moved into tokenization and has rolled out infrastructure to support transactions by AI agents — two areas drawing heavy investment attention across the industry.
A Platform Play With Broad Ambitions
The Exchange OS launch positions OKX not just as a trading venue but as infrastructure other builders can use. Xu framed it as a fix for a market structure problem, not simply a new product.
Whether developers and institutions choose to build on X Layer over more established networks remains to be seen. The Q3 public opening will be the first real test of how much demand exists for what OKX is offering.

The partnership, announced via Binance&#8217;s official blog, follows BlockShoals&#8217; November 2025 in-principle approval from the Philippine SEC to participate in the StratBox program — a controlled testing framework established under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 9, Series of 2024, that allows fintech firms to pilot innovative financial products in a live but supervised environment before any wider public rollout. The testing period is set to run for 24 months, subject to annual review, per the SEC&#8217;s original approval statement.
What BlockShoals Brings To The Table
BlockShoals is not a retail-facing platform. It operates as a technology and infrastructure intermediary for virtual asset services — meaning it handles the regulatory, compliance, and operational plumbing that allows a global exchange to interface with Philippine users and regulators within a locally anchored structure, per the Manila Bulletin&#8217;s reporting of the SEC&#8217;s original approval. The partnership gives Binance a locally licensed, SEC-supervised vehicle through which to operate in the Philippines without requiring a direct exchange license of its own during the sandbox period.
Because BlockShoals already reports to the Philippine SEC on its sandbox tests, the arrangement gives regulators direct visibility into how a global exchange&#8217;s systems interact with local users and market rules — a structural transparency that a gray-area presence cannot provide.
The Regulatory Context
The Philippines represents a significant market opportunity. The country has one of Southeast Asia&#8217;s highest rates of crypto ownership and remittance-driven demand for digital asset services, with a regulatory environment that has been actively building out its virtual asset framework under the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas alongside the SEC&#8217;s sandbox initiatives. BlockShoals&#8217; StratBox entry makes it the fourth entity approved under the program — joining two firms testing US equity services and one focused on tokenized real estate, per the SEC&#8217;s original November statement.
Binance&#8217;s blog post described the collaboration as supporting responsible digital-asset participation, user protection, and responsible innovation in the Philippines — language that reflects the exchange&#8217;s broader post-2023 settlement compliance posture, as it continues to rebuild its regulatory relationships across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
This development marks a pivotal moment for Binance&#8217;s Asia-Pacific strategy and for the nascent sector&#8217;s broader relationship with Southeast Asian regulators. A sandbox re-entry through a locally licensed intermediary is a structurally different proposition than the direct market presence Binance previously maintained — more constrained in the short term, but considerably more durable if the 24-month pilot delivers the compliance outcomes the Philippine SEC is looking for.

The Input Output founder framed the next version of Midnight.city as more than a product test. In a post on X, Hoskinson said the platform would soon bring in “thousands of beta testers” to stress-test and refine its design, utility and user experience.
“I’m super excited about the next iteration of Midnight.city,” Hoskinson wrote. “We will have thousands of beta testers coming online soon and gather incredible feedback about how to improve and refine the experience and utility of the world. It’s the largest and most meaningful focus group ever done.”
He added that the team’s development cadence would be central to how quickly the product evolves. “Combined with two week sprints, within a few months we’ll be well on our way to a new civilization. One that’s crypto native, has privacy at the core, and evolves in weeks instead of decades. I predict Midnight.city will be the most used crypto application by 2030.”
Could This Cardano App Will Lead Crypto By 2030?
Midnight.city is the public-facing simulation layer for Midnight, a privacy-oriented blockchain associated with the Cardano ecosystem. The official Midnight site describes the network as a blockchain focused on programmable privacy, selective disclosure and predictable costs, with developers able to determine what information remains protected and what can be disclosed when required.
The city itself is designed as a live environment rather than a conventional block explorer or wallet interface. Midnight describes it as a simulation populated by autonomous AI agents that work, trade, interact and generate ongoing economic activity, creating sustained transaction volume intended to make zero-knowledge systems more visible to users.
That design matters because privacy infrastructure is difficult to demonstrate in consumer-facing form. The official Midnight blog says Midnight.city lets users inspect the same transaction from different disclosure perspectives, including public mode, auditor mode and a simulation-only “god mode,” showing how selective disclosure can reveal specific fields to authorized parties while keeping other data shielded.
Midnight’s broader pitch is that privacy should not mean opacity by default. The network uses zero-knowledge proofs and a dual-state ledger model to allow public on-chain state and local private state to interact, while its Compact programming language is intended to let developers build privacy-preserving applications without requiring deep specialist knowledge of ZK cryptography.
The project also uses a two-part economic model. NIGHT is the network’s unshielded native and governance token, while DUST is a shielded, non-transferable resource used to pay for transactions and execute smart contracts. Midnight says this model is intended to separate capital assets from operational costs and make application usage more predictable.
At press time, Cardano traded at $0.24.

The charges were announced by the Commercial Affairs Department of the Singapore Police Force, which has been investigating Hodlnaut and its directors since November 2022. Zhu, 36, faces six counts in total — three under Section 424A(1)(a) read with Section 424A(3) of Singapore&#8217;s Penal Code 1871, and three under the same provision read together with Section 109 of the same code, which covers abetment. If convicted on each charge, he faces imprisonment of up to 20 years, a fine, or both, per the police statement.
What The Charges Allege
The fraud charges center on a specific window: May to July 2022, the weeks immediately following TerraUSD&#8217;s catastrophic de-pegging in early May of that year. According to the Singapore Police Force&#8217;s official statement, Zhu allegedly directed Hodlnaut employees to make misleading statements on the company&#8217;s official Telegram group and in emails sent directly to users — assertions that Hodlnaut had no direct exposure to UST and had not suffered losses from the collapse.
The statements, as documented in Mothership SG&#8217;s reporting of court filings, included a post in which Hodlnaut wrote that it had &#8220;not taken any losses as a firm&#8221; and that only users who personally held UST were affected. Zhu also allegedly directed a separate employee to email 30 recipients stating the company had assumed no losses. Those statements, prosecutors now allege, were false and intended to deceive users during the most critical period of the platform&#8217;s deterioration.
What Actually Happened With Terra
The judicial record that emerged after Hodlnaut suspended withdrawals in August 2022 told a starkly different story. An interim judicial managers&#8217; report seen by Bloomberg found that Hodlnaut had lost nearly $190 million through its exposure to the collapsed Terra ecosystem — a figure the platform had actively downplayed to users while the losses accumulated. On-chain analytics firms subsequently confirmed material exposure to UST and TerraForm Labs-linked activity that Hodlnaut had not previously acknowledged.
Court documents filed in Singapore in August 2022, when the platform sought creditor protection, disclosed a $193 million financial shortfall. Court-appointed managers later confirmed an additional $13.1 million in user assets were stranded on the collapsed FTX exchange.
Hodlnaut was subsequently ordered to liquidate by Singapore&#8217;s High Court, with EY partners appointed as joint liquidators. Zhu indicated he was not guilty and disputed all charges at his May 26 hearing — a pre-trial conference has been scheduled for June 2026, per Channel News Asia.
This development marks a significant moment for the nascent sector&#8217;s long-running accountability reckoning following the 2022 crypto contagion. The Terra collapse set off a chain of platform failures — Celsius, Voyager, Three Arrows Capital, and eventually FTX among them — that collectively cost retail users hundreds of billions of dollars.
That four years have elapsed between Hodlnaut&#8217;s collapse and its former CEO&#8217;s first day in court is itself a reflection of how slowly the legal system processes crypto&#8217;s most consequential failures — and a reminder that the cases are far from closed.

Tether To Launch Stablecoin Based On The Georgian Lari
As announced on its website, Tether has partnered up with the government of Georgia for a stablecoin. A &#8220;stablecoin&#8221; is a type of cryptocurrency that has its price tied to a fiat currency. Currently, tokens of this type based on a range of currencies are available in the market, but the most dominant ones are those based on the US Dollar.
Tether is the issuer of one such USD-pegged stablecoin called USDT. In fact, based on the market cap, the firm&#8217;s asset ranks the largest among fiat-tied cryptocurrencies and third overall in the sector as a whole.
Now, the company is looking to release a new stablecoin in collaboration with the Georgian government. This token, known as GEL₮, will be based on the Georgian Lari, the official currency of the country. &#8220;This marks one of the first joint efforts to place a national currency directly onto digital asset rails under a purpose-built stablecoin regulatory framework,&#8221; noted the announcement.
The move is one among many being made by governments around the world when it comes to stablecoin regulation. A major win for the sector has been the GENIUS Act enacted in the United States last year. According to Tether&#8217;s press release, Georgia&#8217;s framework has been designed to achieve compatibility with the GENIUS Act and other US regulation.
Irakli Kobakhidze, prime minister of Georgia, said:
Together with visionary partners like Tether, Georgia is laying the foundations for a more connected, transparent, and digitally empowered financial world
Georgia already has an advanced system in place for digital asset payments, with regulated intermediaries allowing conversion of cryptocurrencies into local currency for real-world settlements.
Paolo Ardoino, Tether CEO, noted:
Georgia has moved early to create serious regulatory architecture for digital assets and stablecoins, and that clarity creates the foundation for real innovation and adoption.
Further details related to GEL₮ like its release date and rollout structure are still unknown, with the press release noting that they will be announced at a later date.
The positive regulatory momentum related to stablecoins around the world recently has meant that the sector has held up relatively well during the past few months even as the wider digital asset market has struggled. As data from DefiLlama shows, the combined market cap of the stablecoins has been enjoying an uptrend.
Currently, the market cap of these assets is sitting at $322.7 billion, which is around an all-time high (ATH).
Bitcoin Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $77,400, up 0.7% over the past week.

According to security firm Socket, the goal was to trick tools like Claude and Cursor into running what appeared to be routine security scans, which would then quietly discover and send out secrets stored on a developer&#8217;s machine.
Socket, a developer security platform, detected the campaign on Friday and published its findings on Sunday. Reports say the operation had already pushed out more than 34 malicious packages and 384 related versions by the time it was uncovered, with attackers continuing to release new updates across multiple software ecosystems. BREAKING: Active supply chain attack across npm, PyPI, and Crates.​io.

Wallets, Keys, And Cloud Credentials All At Risk
The malware cast a wide net. Socket said TrapDoor was built to steal data from several major crypto wallets — Coinbase, Binance, Solana, Sui, Aptos, and MetaMask — as well as the Brave browser. Beyond wallet data, the malware also went after SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub tokens, browser extension data, and API keys.

The campaign spread across three major developer package repositories: npm, which serves JavaScript and Node.js developers; PyPI, used widely in Python, data science, and automation work; and Crates, the package hub for Rust developers.
Package names were chosen carefully to look like standard tools — development helpers, project setup utilities, prompt engineering packages, and Solidity or Sui build helpers — making them easy to overlook during a routine install.
Socket&#8217;s chief technology officer Ahmad Nassri said on Sunday that the GitHub activity tied to the campaign showed signs of AI-assisted development, pointing to broad security-themed templates, generic lure repositories, and a mix of partially built extraction ideas alongside working malware components.
Signs Of A Larger, Coordinated Operation
The timing of the campaign raised questions given that GitHub had reported unauthorized access to its internal repositories on May 20, just days before TrapDoor was detected. That breach followed the compromise of an employee&#8217;s device, according to reports.
Socket described TrapDoor as a coordinated attack aimed squarely at crypto, decentralized finance, AI, and security developers — communities where sensitive credentials and wallet access are common.
The campaign gave attackers broad reach precisely because the targeted developer communities often work across the same tools and ecosystems.

Indonesia Blocks Access To Polymarket
Indonesia recently blocked access to the prediction market platform Polymarket after a widely shared bet on the premature end of Prabowo Subianto’s presidency gained traction on social media last week.
In an official statement, the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs announced the ban, affirming that the measure aims to protect the public, particularly the younger generation and users of the digital space.
Director General of Digital Space Supervision Alexander Sabar affirmed that platforms facilitating real-money wagers on event outcomes are considered gambling, even when framed as “prediction markets” and using blockchain technology or crypto assets.
“The government will not tolerate any form of online gambling in Indonesia. Activities like Polymarket involve monetary betting and speculation on events with uncertain outcomes, which violates applicable Indonesian laws,” Alex emphasized.
Therefore, authorities will block access to other prediction market services suspected of “facilitating online gambling practices.” In addition, the government is tracking down social media accounts affiliated with or promoting Polymarket to ensure the ban is enforced across other platforms.
The Ministry also urged the public not to access or engage in digital betting-based speculation activities, including those using crypto, as these activities could violate Indonesian laws and cause financial losses for users.
Global Regulatory Pressure Mounts
Indonesian authorities noted that their decision to restrict access to Polymarket aligns with other global legal frameworks. As the announcement stated, several other jurisdictions have also implemented measures against Polymarket and other prediction market platforms, arguing that they resemble online gambling practices.
Over the past two years, Taiwan, Thailand, China, and India have imposed restrictions on Polymarket under their respective local laws, while Singapore, Colombia, and India have officially blocked the platform.
In March, Argentinian authorities ordered a nationwide blockade of Polymarket after it predicted inflation data. As reported by Bitcoinist, a Buenos Aires court directed internet service providers, Google, and Apple to block access to the platform, arguing that it operated as an unlicensed online gambling platform.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s central bank announced a ban on prediction markets and betting platforms in March, including Polymarket and Kalshi. The authorities affirmed that the platforms failed to comply with local regulations on derivatives trading and raised concerns about investor protections and market integrity.
Prediction markets have also faced scrutiny in the US, with policymakers and State-level authorities putting pressure on the sector. Last week, House of Representatives member James Comer launched a formal investigation into Polymarket and Kalshi following a series of suspicious trades linked to classified US military operations and key geopolitical events.
The lawmaker announced that he had sent a letter to the CEOs of both companies seeking information on how their platforms detect and prevent insider trading. He also asked for details on how they verify user identities and enforce bans on users from restricted jurisdictions. On the same day, the two prediction market giants lost their bids to halt the gambling-related enforcement actions against them in Nevada and Washington.

Strategy Has Paused Bitcoin Accumulation For Now
In a new post on X, Strategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor revealed that the company didn&#8217;t buy Bitcoin during the past week. This post was the latest in the line of Saylor&#8217;s regular Sunday posts, which always come with an image of the firm&#8217;s portfolio tracker and often, the chairman includes a caption that hints at Strategy&#8217;s next Monday purchase announcement. This time, however, Saylor explicitly ruled out more accumulation.
Though this doesn&#8217;t mean that Strategy sat idle in the last week. &#8220;This week we bought bonds, not bitcoin,&#8221; noted Saylor in the post. The pause in buying has come after the treasury company announced a 24,869 BTC mega-acquisition last Monday.
This buy cost the company a whopping $2.01 billion. As the portfolio tracker shared by Saylor shows, the firm&#8217;s holdings have grown to 843,738 BTC following the purchase.
Strategy&#8217;s cost basis per token is $75,701, so at the current Bitcoin spot price, the company&#8217;s holdings are in a profit of about 2.6%. This is relatively minor, but still an improvement from when the firm was underwater between February and April.
While Strategy has skipped out on an acquisition this Monday, it doesn&#8217;t mean that the treasury company is halting things altogether. Saylor hinted at this in the post, saying, &#8220;The ₿itVac is charging.&#8221; ₿itVac here is likely a shorthand for &#8220;Bitcoin Vacuum,&#8221; which is what the firm acts like when it comes to the cryptocurrency.
Recently, Strategy announced that it has filed to repurchase $1.5 billion of its convertible senior notes due in 2029. The news has come amid Saylor floating the idea of BTC sales, so it&#8217;s possible that the treasury firm could participate in distribution to fund this repurchase.
In some other news, the Bitcoin spot ETFs saw their second-straight week of outflows last week, according to data from SoSoValue.
The spot ETFs here refer to investment vehicles that allow investors to gain indirect exposure to Bitcoin. As the above chart shows, the netflow related to such funds based in the United States has been negative during the last two weeks, indicating that a net amount of capital has been leaving the market.
These two weeks of outflows have come after six weeks of inflows. Whether the red netflows are the start of a new trend only remains to be seen.
BTC Price
Bitcoin briefly dipped under the $75,000 level during the weekend, but the coin has since surged back to $77,400.

The proposal, a treasury withdrawal request tied to developer tooling and onboarding, was listed by AdaStat as ratified and approved, with 67.90% Yes support against 32.10% No. The vote involved roughly ₳3.72 billion in Yes stake and ₳1.76 billion in No stake, according to the tracker. The governance action had been submitted on April 22, 2026, and expired on May 24, 2026, in Epoch 633, according to Gov.tools.
IO Secures Crucial Cardano Funding
The result matters because the vote had become more than a routine funding request. Hours before the deadline, Hoskinson wrote that the proposal was “just 0.5% away” from passing and framed the measure as a response to persistent complaints from developers: fragmented tooling, scattered documentation, weak onboarding and a steep learning curve.
IO’s own description of the initiative presents it as a six-month, 3.6 million ada push to make Cardano easier to build on, including a one-command project setup, audit-ready smart contract templates, a unified developer portal and support for community tooling. Hoskinson had repeatedly warned that IO may need to wind down parts of its research operation if the proposal did not secure approval.
IO has argued that the developer base remains a structural weakness. In a May 18 post outlining the proposal, Robertino Martinez wrote that it has “around 17x fewer developers than Ethereum,” with the gap continuing to widen while Cardano’s developer numbers remain largely flat. The same post said fragmented documentation, unmaintained tools and the absence of a clear onboarding path were causing builders to arrive in “a disjointed and scattered ecosystem.”
Hoskinson used the vote’s closing stretch to cast the governance process as evidence that the network’s post-Voltaire system is functioning, even when outcomes are contested. “Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote,” he wrote. “But this process has shown me something important: Cardano’s governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners.”
Hoskinson Confirms Cardano Focus
The post also moved beyond the single proposal. Hoskinson said the process had reinforced the importance of the so-called Pentad — IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, the Midnight Foundation and Intersect — as a coordination layer for the ecosystem. He invited those organizations to “sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance” and how to formalize that coordination going forward.
The timing was notable. Two days earlier, Cowboy State Daily reported that Hoskinson Health &amp; Wellness Clinic in Gillette, Wyoming, would close on July 31, ending an ambitious rural healthcare project backed by Hoskinson. The publication described the clinic as part of a roughly $250 million effort to build what had been billed as the “Mayo Clinic of the West,” and cited clinic leadership as saying the organization was “no longer financially sustainable.”
That background gave Hoskinson’s post a sharper edge. He did not mention the clinic closure directly in the Cardano governance statement, but he addressed questions about his focus. “I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it,” he wrote.
He also said he would attend the Cardano Summit in Singapore and appear on stage, while personally committing to partially top up Cardano and Midnight’s Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. “Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard,” Hoskinson said.
Cardano Funding Round Delivers Mixed Result
The broader treasury round showed that Cardano’s new governance system is willing to split the ticket. Several IO-led proposals passed, including the Developer Experience Initiative, Cardano Upgrades, the Consensus Initiative and Cardano High Assurance Technical Collaboration.
But others did not. IO’s maintenance proposal with Ensurable Systems and its Plutus proposal with VacuumLabs both expired just short of the 67% DRep threshold, while the L2 Scalability Initiative with Midgard Labs, Blockfrost’s indexing proposal and Pogun’s Bitcoin DeFi funding request failed by wider margins.
That makes the result harder to frame as a simple endorsement or rejection of IO. DReps backed some core protocol and developer-experience work while withholding approval from other infrastructure, maintenance and ecosystem-spending requests.
At press time, ADA traded at $0.2446.

Not whether humans can survive the journey, but whether anyone will bother to try. The founder of crypto mining pool F2Pool put his money behind that worry this week by purchasing a seat on SpaceX&#8217;s first crewed mission to the red planet.
A Man On A Mission To Keep Mars Alive
SpaceX announced the two-year mission on Thursday. It will fly past the Moon, continue to Mars, and return to Earth. Wang also secured a seat on a separate weeklong lunar flight set to launch before the interplanetary mission.
&#8220;I have no confidence that Mars will still happen within our lifetime,&#8221; Wang wrote on X. &#8220;And I think I should do something about that.&#8221;
His argument is straightforward. Governments, he believes, will eventually return humans to the Moon because competition between the US and China makes it almost inevitable.
Now that Starship V3 has made its debut, we are one step closer to making life multiplanetary.
During Fram2 training, apart from the usual Dragon-related topics, I remember that what we talked about most in the training room was how to reliably tether down on Phobos.
Three… https://t.co/7nukQWUwDd
— Chun (@satofishi) May 23, 2026
Mars is a different story. Without private money keeping it on the table, he fears the goal could slip out of reach entirely.
&#8220;I hope that by purchasing a flyby mission to Mars, SpaceX will have another reason not to forget about Mars,&#8221; Wang said.
From Bitcoin Mining Pools To Outer Space
Wang is not new to funding space travel. Last April, he bankrolled and commanded Fram2, a SpaceX mission that orbited over Earth&#8217;s poles.
The crew of four conducted experiments during the flight, including taking an X-ray in space and growing mushrooms. The Mars mission would take that ambition considerably further.
He founded F2Pool in 2013, one of the first Bitcoin mining pools to emerge from China. According to mempool.space data, it currently holds an 11.85% share of the global mining market, making it the third largest pool in operation.
SpaceX: A City On Mars, One Ticket At A Time
SpaceX&#8217;s broader vision for Mars goes well beyond a single flyby. Reports indicate the company aims to eventually build a self-sustaining city on the planet, a goal it estimates will require more than 1 million people and millions of tons of cargo. Cargo flights for research and exploratory purposes are not expected before 2028.
Wang says the mission carries a message beyond the technical. &#8220;I hope this mission can show the public that Mars is not just a point of light in a telescope,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is a real place, and humans can fly there and come back alive and come back healthy.&#8221;

The company shared the news on Monday, May 25, and said it is also moving to ensure leadership continuity in the wake of the tragedy.
Ondo Finance Confirms New CEO
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ondo Finance said, “It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo&#8217;s founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.” 
Ondo also said the personal and industry impact of Allman’s contributions “cannot be overstated,” and noted that he played a key role in building a durable organization with experienced leaders across multiple areas of the business.
Alongside the tribute, Ondo Finance announced a leadership change. The company said Ian De Bode, its longtime President, will take over as CEO. Ondo said it will continue building what Allman started, calling that effort the “most meaningful way” to honor him.
Nathan Allman Remembered
The news also drew reactions from other figures in the crypto ecosystem. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, said that since 2023, the two sides “achieved so much together,” noting the listing of Ondo Finance’s native token, ONDO, and support of its real-world asset (RWA) strategy.
Chen added that as the industry continues, “we will continue pushing the boundaries of tokenization and carrying that shared vision ahead.”
Nathan Allman co-founded Ondo Finance in 2021. Before launching Ondo, he worked as part of the Digital Assets team at Goldman Sachs, where he developed experience in asset management and blockchain technology. 
Following Ondo Finance’s statement, the price of ONDO dropped by 6.5% to $0.41. Nevertheless, the platform’s native token still records gains of 59% over the last thirty days.

Crypto Pundit Breaks It Down</title><description><![CDATA[With volatility across the cryptocurrency market building, the Cardano price has persistently struggled with downside pressure, dropping below the $0.25 level. The altcoin has fallen sharply from its all-time high, but one thing that has captured the attention of the community is the activity among top-tier ADA investors.
ADA Investors In the Top Tier Are Making Moves
Cardano’s price action is not the major thing currently about the leading altcoin, but rather the sentiment and activity of its investors. As the asset continues to endure downside pressure, a crypto pundit known as Cheeky Crypto is shedding light on the behavior of a key segment of Cardano investors.
While everyday retail traders conclude that Cardano is dead, Cheeky Crypto stated that a hidden group of ultra-wealthy whales is quietly front-running the market. His analysis suggests that in the face of waning price momentum and increased market uncertainty, the top tier of ADA holders may be modifying their strategies. 
According to the data, retail investors are currently capitulating over short-term price drawdowns. Meanwhile, the top 1% holders are aggressively scooping up the liquid supply. With prices declining, it may appear that these investors are capitalizing on recent dips, but rather, they are accumulating because they recognize a paradigm shift in institutional infrastructure that the entire public is completely overlooking.
Cheeky Crypto highlighted that this deep dive investigation brings to light the secret plumbing that is holding back the large-scale capital from enterprises. At the same time, the ledger is becoming an institutional powerhouse as a result of the crucial Oracle latency improvements. 
Amid this renewed accumulation from top-tier investors, the network is witnessing a sharp growth as observed in the rise in its Total Value Locked. Data shared by Dave, a market expert and Cardano DRep, shows that the network’s TVL increased by over 1.14% in a 24-hour period.
Cardano’s TVL continues to climb and has been in an upward trend since September 18, 2025, when it was sitting at 382.16 million ADA. As of today, the TVL is valued at over 542.71 million ADA, representing a sharp increase of roughly 42%.

Furthermore, the network&#8217;s Decentralized Exchange (DEX) volume has experienced notable growth, rising by approximately 39.58% over the past week. After this increase, the DEX volume is now sitting at over $10.26 million.
Transaction Counts On The Network Hits New Milestone
Activity on the Cardano network continues to grow, with transactions rising sharply. OG Blockchain explorer Cexplorer recently revealed a milestone as the number of transactions carried out on the network has surged to a new all-time high.
As seen in the data, the transaction count has crossed 121 million on the mainnet, suggesting growing interest in the leading network. This milestone also reflects sustained confidence among investors in Cardano and its long-term network capabilities.

That price level has now become the immediate line between a failed bounce and a stronger move into the upper CME gap.
Bulls Push Out Of The Descending Channel
Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart shows a cryptocurrency still struggling to break through a stubborn resistance area. On Saturday, a bullish surge carried BTC up to $77,439, only for sellers to step in immediately and push the price back down to $74,500. Buying pressure returned with enough force on Sunday again to push the Bitcoin price up to retest the same $77,400 to $77,430 zone. 
Notably, this back-and-forth movement is part of a descending channel pattern structure on the 4-hour timeframe. The Sunday bounce has now carried Bitcoin back above the upper area of the channel, and Bitcoin needs to break and hold.
At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $77,490, meaning bulls are currently holding above $77,400. That does not mean the bullish case is confirmed yet, as the earlier rejections showed that sellers are still defending this resistance. Therefore, a quick wick above the level would not be enough. Bulls need a convincing close above the zone, followed by enough support to keep the price from falling back inside the channel.
Next Target Is $79,450 CME Gap
According to a crypto analyst on the social media platform X, the next target for Bitcoin bulls is a CME gap around the $79,000 region, with an emphasis on $79,450 as the major level within this gap.
However, there&#8217;s a thick resistance band around $79,450. That means filling the gap may not automatically produce a clean continuation, and the Bitcoin price could still meet strong selling pressure there. The first bullish objective is the gap fill, but the larger test would be whether Bitcoin can stay above that region once it gets there.
There is also a clear bearish scenario based on another CME gap. Another rejection at the $77,400 level could push Bitcoin back inside the descending channel and return attention to the recent CME Friday close. According to data from CryptoRank, Bitcoin closed the most recent Friday at $75,535.
CME gaps have a history of being filled more than 90% of the time, and this places emphasis on the current gaps. Below $75,535, the next important price levels are $75,000 and $73,700. Losing $75,000 would diminish the recovery attempt further and could push the BTC price into lower support at $73,700.

The research, published May 21 on Arkham&#8217;s intelligence platform, does not claim that Zcash&#8217;s underlying cryptography is broken. The zero-knowledge proof technology — specifically zk-SNARKs — at the core of Zcash&#8217;s shielded transaction system remains mathematically sound. What Arkham&#8217;s findings expose is something more practical and more damaging to Zcash&#8217;s reputation: the majority of transactions on the network were never private to begin with.
Why Most Zcash Is Already Visible
Zcash operates with two address types. Transparent addresses — known as t-addresses — function identically to Bitcoin addresses, with all activity publicly visible on-chain. Shielded addresses — z-addresses — exist inside an encrypted pool where sender, receiver, and amount are all hidden. Fully shielded z-to-z transactions are genuinely opaque and cannot be tracked, per Arkham&#8217;s research.
The problem, according to the report, is that most exchanges, custodians, and institutional players default to transparent addresses for compliance reasons. This means a disproportionate share of Zcash&#8217;s real-world transaction history is fully readable on-chain — regardless of the shielded technology available. Entry and exit points at exchanges further expose the boundaries of even shielded activity, since the movement of funds into and out of the shielded pool is itself visible, per Arkham&#8217;s analysis.
The result: Arkham has labeled more than half of all Zcash activity on its intelligence platform — a figure the firm describes as remarkable for a chain explicitly designed to obscure transaction data, per the research.
The US Government&#8217;s Zcash Wallet
Among the more striking details in Arkham&#8217;s research is a case study involving the US Government itself. The USG wallet on Arkham&#8217;s platform holds ZEC seized from an unnamed individual — meaning the world&#8217;s most active financial surveillance apparatus is already tracking, seizing, and holding a privacy coin whose primary selling point is untraceability.
The timing of Arkham&#8217;s research carries additional weight given the current market context. BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes has publicly disclosed ZEC as one of his two largest positions outside Bitcoin — citing a $10,000 long-term price target — and the privacy coin surged more than 40% in the past week before analyst Ali Martinez flagged an overheated technical setup. Arkham&#8217;s findings land at precisely the moment the market is reassessing ZCash&#8217;s fundamental case.
This development marks a critical juncture for the nascent sector&#8217;s privacy coin segment. A blockchain intelligence firm attributing $420 billion in Zcash volume to known entities is not a theoretical threat to the asset&#8217;s utility — it is a demonstrated one.
For users whose primary reason for holding ZCash is financial privacy, the research raises a question the community will need to answer honestly: if most Zcash activity is already traceable, what exactly are they holding?

With BTC’s price experiencing a decline, the supply in profit is beginning to drop, creating a highly negative environment for investors.
Percentage Of Bitcoin Supply In Profit Continues To Shrink
The Bitcoin price is now struggling within the $77,000 threshold following a recent pullback, which is now hindering its market dynamics. One of the outcomes includes the percentage of BTC supply currently held in profit falling below key levels seen during previous bull market phases.
In his analysis shared on the X platform, Darkfost, a market decoder and verified CryptoQuant author, highlighted that the Bitcoin supply being held in profit has fallen to around 61%, indicating the growing impact of ongoing market volatility. A growing number of investors are either holding unrealized losses or are getting closer to their cost basis after BTC’s downside action.
While the level may appear relatively high after first glance, the expert stated that it remains fairly low in reality. In the past, the share of supply held in profit has often stayed above 75% during bull market phases, indicating a crucial change in market dynamics. The decline in profitable supply reflects ongoing weakening confidence in the market as it moves into a phase of uncertainty.
Meanwhile, bear market periods have been linked to a significantly greater domination of losses, with about 45% of the supply being retained at a loss. When BTC dropped below the $60,000 price level, the market drew close to reaching a balance between profits and losses. During this period, only 51.1% of the BTC supply was left in profit. 
For investors to remain more inclined to hold their BTC, Darkfost stated that it is vital for the market to maintain a sufficiently high level of unrealized profits. Naturally, the market becomes overheated and more susceptible to short-term corrections when extremes are reached, particularly when almost all of the supply is held in profit.
Why The $80,000 Level Remains A Key Resistance
After examining Bitcoin’s price action, Darkfost has revealed that the next crucial resistance level to break is the $80,000 mark. According to the expert, this level, which represents the Short-Term Holders’ Cost Basis, has continued to act as a major resistance range since early October last year. This implies that short-term investors are still under pressure, increasing the likelihood of cautious sentiment and more selling activity in the market.

As seen on the chart, BTC was once again rejected from this crucial resistance level as it attempted to break above the $82,000 mark.  However, for now, short-term holders are likely to exit the market and reduce their losses rather than continue to hold strong to their coins.

The expert has shared BTC’s price movements and investor trends to prove that the cycle theory is still very much alive and playing out in the current market cycle.   
Analyst Says Bitcoin’s 4-Year Cycle Is Still Active
In an X post on May 23, Mags, a crypto analyst, has raised concerns about whether “the 4-year cycle is over” for Bitcoin. This debate has been spreading across the market for months now, with some experts, such as Strategy CEO Michael Saylor, stating that the four-year cycle has ended, while others believe it is still active. 
Many crypto community members, in response to Mags’ post, also compared this cycle to past ones. They noted that the current BTC market is markedly different from previous cycles, due to the emergence of Spot ETFs, increased institutional flows, and broader adoption.
However, after examining and comparing these cycles himself, Mags noted that each one corresponds almost perfectly to the next. The analyst pointed to the 2011-2014 four-year cycle on his accompanying chart, highlighting how the market moved through distinct stages of investor activity and price movement during that period. 
In 2011, Bitcoin prices were declining, presenting a buying opportunity for investors. In the second year, Bitcoin began to rise, and investors simply held onto their tokens to allow them to grow. By 2013, prices had climbed to near peak levels, which the analyst noted was when most investors began selling their BTC. The fourth and final year of that cycle saw the market crash, and prices fall sharply. Mags described this as the bear market stage, marking the final stage before a fresh bull cycle began.
Notably, the same four-stage yearly trend was observed during the 2015-2018 and 2019-2022 cycles. Mags also stated that the cyclical theory is actively running in the current cycle, noting that Bitcoin has already moved through its Buy stage in 2023, Hold in 2024, and Sell phase in 2025. Based on this, Mags said that BTC is now in its bear market phase, coinciding with the cryptocurrency’s recent sideways movements and ongoing price declines.
What The Theory Says About The 2027-2030 Cycle
In his analysis, Mags went further to predict what the next cycle could look like after the current one ends. He suggested that the 2027-2030 cycle could follow a similar pattern, with Bitcoin potentially experiencing the same Buy, Hold, Sell, Bear market phases across each year. 
He noted that if this structure holds, the next major accumulation window for investors and traders would arrive in 2027, a year ahead of the next anticipated bull run. Mags has pushed back against the speculation that the four-year cycle is dead, declaring that the structure “is still on track and everything is playing out perfectly.”

The analyst has stated that each of these projects fulfills a unique function and replaces legacy infrastructure worth trillions of dollars. 
XRP, XLM, And ONDO Tipped As Next Wealth Drivers
In an X social media post on May 24, X Finance Bull, a well-known pseudonymous crypto analyst, argued that the next wave of wealth in the crypto market will not come from coins that are spent on speculation or hype to grow. Instead, he believes that this wave of adoption and capital inflow will be led by infrastructure projects with proven real-world use cases.  
He shared a long list of crypto networks he says are positioned to power several highly lucrative markets and functions, including payments, feeds data, real-world assets (RWAs), and on-chain connectivity. 
At the top of X Finance Bull’s list is XRP, which he said will be used to settle global payments. Notably, XRP has frequently been described as a global settlement layer and a neutral bridge currency. Rather than routing funds through multiple intermediary banks, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) changes fiat currency into XRP, moves it across the network, and converts it into the destination currency within seconds. The crypto network is famous for its low-cost transfers and ability to settle transactions within three to five seconds. 
Meanwhile, X Finance Bull noted that XLM addresses cross-border settlement. Launched in 2014 by Jed McCaleb, a co-founder of Ripple, Stellar connects banks, financial institutions, and individuals, with XLM serving as a bridge currency for low-cost, near instant transactions. The crypto network’s focus on financial inclusion has made it a popular choice for remittances and small-scale international transfers.
Additionally, Ondo Finance is said to lead the tokenized real-world assets space, a market projected to reach $30.1 trillion by 2034, according to a Standard Chartered report. Ondo Finance’s OUSG and USDY products command the largest DeFi-native share of tokenized government securities. The protocol has also expanded beyond Treasury products into tokenized US stocks and ETFs.  
How These Networks Will Spark Next Wave Of Crypto Adoption
Excluding XRP, XLM, and Ondo, X Finance Bull also mentioned popular crypto networks such as Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), Cardano (ADA), Algorand (ALGO), and others. According to the analyst, each of these networks serves a distinct function and replaces a piece of legacy infrastructure that is worth trillions of dollars today. 
He said that the prices of these types of cryptocurrencies do not rally overnight, but grow through compounding. The analyst explained that the value of these digital assets rises weekly, and with every new partnership and integration milestone. X Finance Bull also noted that until demand for each of these crypto networks becomes structural, that is, when banks and institutions actively depend on them, their prices will have no choice but to reflect this reality. 
The analyst also noted that utility assets are a long-term hold, unlike volatile projects like meme coins. He said that these infrastructure crypto networks will survive every cycle because they are not chasing trends but actively building the rails, pipes, and connections that global finance may eventually run on.

The market is cautious and the direction is unclear — but an Arab Chain analysis tracking Binance liquidity conditions has identified a structural development that changes how the current weakness should be interpreted and what the next significant price movement might look like when it arrives.
The 30-day liquidity index for XRP on Binance has fallen to approximately 0.043 — its lowest level since January 2020. That date requires context to feel as significant as the number demands. January 2020 predates the DeFi summer, the 2021 bull market, the FTX collapse, and the entire institutional era that has since transformed crypto market structure. XRP has not been this illiquid on Binance at any point across five years of the most dramatic market cycles the asset has ever experienced.
The practical implication of a liquidity index at this level is direct and immediately relevant. Market depth — the capacity of the order book to absorb large buy or sell orders without significant price impact — has declined to a level where the normal relationship between order size and price movement no longer applies. Orders that would produce modest price changes in a liquid market produce amplified responses in a market this thin.
Arab Chain&#8217;s analysis examines what that amplification means for XRP trading near $1.34 — and the answer is more consequential than the price level alone suggests.
The Liquidity That Built XRP&#8217;s Previous Moves Has Nearly Vanished
The Arab Chain analysis places the current reading in the historical context that gives it its full weight. Between 2022 and 2024, XRP&#8217;s 30-day liquidity index on Binance registered readings above 3 and 4 points — a depth of market activity that coincided with the periods of strongest trading volume, most significant volatility, and most meaningful price discovery the asset produced during that cycle.
The order books were deep, large transactions moved through the market without disproportionate impact, and the infrastructure for sustained directional moves was present.
The collapse from those elevated readings to the current 0.043 is not a gradual normalization. It is a near-total withdrawal of the speculative participation and liquidity inflows that characterized XRP&#8217;s most active periods. The market that could absorb large orders without flinching in 2023 and 2024 has been replaced by one where the same order size produces a fundamentally different price response.
The bidirectional nature of that sensitivity is the honest framing the analysis maintains. Low liquidity does not predict direction — it predicts magnitude. A large sell order into a market this thin produces a sharper decline than it would in a deep market. A large buy order produces a sharper advance. The current 0.043 reading describes a market coiled rather than directional — one where the catalyst determines the outcome but the thin order book determines the scale of the response.
XRP near $1.34 in this liquidity environment is not simply a price level. It is a compressed structure where the next significant flow, in either direction, meets a market with almost no depth to absorb it gradually. The Arab Chain analysis identifies that condition as one of caution and anticipation — a market waiting for the catalyst that determines which way the compression resolves, and how far it travels when it does.
XRP Consolidates As Liquidity Conditions Continue To Deteriorate
XRP continues trading in a tight consolidation range below the critical $1.40 resistance zone as momentum weakens and volatility compresses across the broader structure. The daily chart shows repeated failed breakout attempts throughout May, with every rally toward the $1.45–$1.50 region being absorbed by sellers before bullish momentum could expand further.
Technically, XRP is now hovering directly around the 50-day moving average, while the 100-day moving average continues acting as dynamic resistance overhead near the mid-$1.40 range. The 200-day moving average remains significantly higher and continues sloping downward, confirming that the broader macro structure still favors caution despite the recent stabilization.
What stands out most on the chart is the prolonged sideways behavior following February’s capitulation event. Since the sharp selloff that briefly pushed XRP near the $1.15 area, the price has largely remained trapped between approximately $1.30 and $1.50 without establishing a clear trend. That prolonged compression reflects a market lacking strong directional conviction from either buyers or sellers.
If XRP loses the $1.30 support region decisively, downside pressure could accelerate quickly. However, reclaiming the $1.45–$1.50 resistance zone would likely trigger renewed bullish momentum and force sidelined liquidity back into the market.

This comes as Ripple continues to expand its operations, with moves to further integrate XRP in its operations. 
How Ripple’s Move Is Strategic For XRP
In an X post, BankXRP noted that Ripple’s backing of the cross-chain router Squid is strategic rather than random, as Squid supports the XRP Ledger as an integrated chain alongside Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Stellar, and Cosmos. He added that the platform supports native-to-native swaps across over 1,000 apps and DeFi services. 
As such, the pundit declared that Ripple just made the XRP Ledger accessible to the entire crypto ecosystem, thanks to its investment. Crypto commentator Xaif had first drawn attention to the investment, revealing that the crypto firm had backed the $6 million funding round for Squid. The cross-chain router is said to be live across more than 100 networks, with $6 billion in routed volume. 
In line with this, Xaif declared that Ripple isn’t just building on the XRP Ledger but is also funding the infrastructure that connects all chains. Notably, at the Consensus Conference, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted that the crypto space will continue to comprise several networks, indicating that the goal was to make their operations available across these networks in addition to the XRPL.  
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is natively issued on the Ethereum network alongside XRPL. Ripple has also partnered with Wormhole to expand the stablecoin to Ethereum layer-2 networks such as Base, Optimism, and Unichain. Meanwhile, Ripple’s custody services expand beyond the XRP Ledger as it provides custody services for Ethereum and Solana, along with staking services.
How XRPL Was Built For The Privacy Era
In another X post, Xaif highlighted how Ripple and other XRPL developers have built the network for XRP to dominate the privacy era and onboard institutions. He noted that the network has natively integrated zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology. With this, transaction size, counterparties, and balances are all hidden from the public ledger, which is positive for institutional adoption. 
The pundit added that regulators and auditors can still verify everything through selective disclosure, which makes the integration compliance-friendly. He noted that over 300 banks and financial institutions that have partnered with Ripple were waiting for privacy before going all in, and now they have it. 
Furthermore, Xaif noted that the XRP Ledger is already built for payments, boasting 3 to 5-second finality and very low fees, making payments cost-effective using XRP. He added that XRP bridges fiat-to-fiat instantly via On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), with no pre-funded accounts required, making it hard for SWIFT to compete with XRP. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.34, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

More than 98% of all settlements made by AI agents in the past year were processed in Circle&#8217;s USDC, according to a new report from crypto investment firm Keyrock — a concentration that researchers say carries risks the industry has largely ignored.
One Stablecoin To Rule Them All
Keyrock researcher Ben Harvey, writing in collaboration with Coinbase and blockchain firm Tempo, said the dependence on one issuer&#8217;s infrastructure, regulatory standing, and reserve management creates a systemic exposure that nobody in the space is publicly discussing.
A regulatory challenge against Circle, a de-peg event, or even a prolonged outage would leave the agent economy with no alternative settlement option. Harvey said that risk warrants serious attention as transaction volumes continue to grow.
In one year, machine payments have evolved from concept to live ecosystem, with agents settling 176M transactions.

— Keyrock (@keyrock) May 21, 2026
The numbers behind the report are striking. From May 2025 through April 2026, AI agents settled over $70 million across 176 million transactions — an average deal size of about 31 cents.
That figure alone explains why traditional payment networks were never going to work here. A standard processing fee of roughly 30 cents per transaction makes anything below a dollar completely unworkable on rails built for consumer credit cards. An agent paying three cents to call a weather API cannot route through Visa.
Why Traditional Rails Were Left Behind
Stablecoins filled that gap not because they were chosen but because nothing else could do the job. The economics of legacy payment infrastructure simply collapse at sub-dollar volumes, and crypto rails carry no fixed per-transaction fee that would eat the entire value of a microtransaction.
By the end of the first quarter of 2026, more than 104,000 agents had been registered across 15 or more directories and registries worldwide.
Harvey described the shift as going from concept to a developed ecosystem in just 12 months. Incumbents appear to have taken notice — the report says more than $8 billion has been deployed in acquisitions by established players looking to stake a position in what is emerging as a new payment stack built around autonomous software rather than human users.
A Market Built On One Foundation
AI agents are already being used to build Web3 applications, launch tokens, trade, and interact autonomously with protocols and services.
A CoinGecko survey of 2,632 crypto users conducted last April found 87% were willing to let AI agents manage at least 10% of their crypto portfolio.
Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire has predicted that billions of agents will operate with stablecoins on users&#8217; behalf within five years.

A brief recovery arrived when President Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened following talks with Middle Eastern leaders about Iran and regional peace efforts — markets interpreted the comments as a potential easing of geopolitical tensions, and both Bitcoin and Ethereum rebounded in response. The relief was real but short-lived.
XWIN Research Japan has examined Ethereum&#8217;s internal market structure during the recovery and found something that complicates the straightforward interpretation of the recent price weakness considerably. The data that normally identifies a healthy market is present. Spot Taker CVD remains positive — buyers are still outpacing sellers in the order flow. Funding rates are still above zero — derivatives participants are paying to stay long rather than paying to stay short. Exchange Netflow shows ETH continuing to leave exchanges — coins moving into self-custody rather than toward the sell side.
By every conventional bullish signal, Ethereum should not be trading where it is. The asset fell from approximately $2,375 on May 11 to nearly $2,031 on May 23 — a 14% decline that occurred while every internal market indicator was pointing in the opposite direction.
XWIN Research Japan&#8217;s analysis identifies the force that explains the contradiction — and it is not visible in any of the metrics that have been signaling strength.
Hidden Sellers, Macro Headwinds and a Market That Looks Strong but Keeps Falling
The XWIN Research Japan report identifies the mechanism behind the contradiction with precision. Hidden liquidity is the structural explanation for how positive CVD, positive funding, and exchange outflows can coexist with a falling price. Large sell orders placed by market makers and whales sit in the order book absorbing aggressive buying without announcing themselves in the metrics that retail participants monitor.
The surface signals look bullish because the buyers are genuinely present. The price falls because the sellers are larger, more patient, and invisible to conventional flow analysis.
The macro environment compounds the structural pressure. Despite the CLARITY Act initially improving sentiment around digital assets, markets have quickly refocused on inflation risks and the higher-for-longer interest rate environment that continues to define Federal Reserve policy. For a high-beta asset like Ethereum — which amplifies both upside and downside moves relative to broader risk sentiment — that macro backdrop remains a persistent headwind that no amount of on-chain improvement can fully neutralize while it persists.
The derivatives picture adds the final layer. Healthy bullish trends require rising open interest, stable funding, and expanding long positioning simultaneously. What the current data shows instead is short covering and deleveraging, driving recent price bounces — mechanical moves rather than genuine demand returning to build new directional exposure.
Technically, Ethereum is approaching support zones at approximately $1,984 and $1,937 — levels that the report identifies as potentially significant if macro conditions stabilize and real spot demand returns. At those prices, the asset could eventually be viewed as genuinely undervalued relative to its network fundamentals. Whether that reassessment arrives before a test of deeper levels depends entirely on whether the hidden selling pressure exhausts itself before the technical support does.
Ethereum Faces Critical Support Test
Ethereum continues to trade in a fragile structure as price struggles to reclaim the key resistance zone between $2,250 and $2,350. After briefly recovering into that supply area earlier this month, ETH faced repeated rejections that triggered a steady decline back toward the $2,100 region. The chart now shows a market trapped between weakening bullish momentum and critical support levels that buyers must defend to avoid a deeper retrace.
Technically, ETH is trading directly around the 50-day moving average, which has flattened after weeks of recovery. This level is acting as immediate short-term support, but the inability to establish acceptance above the 100-day moving average near $2,250 reflects continued weakness in broader market momentum. Meanwhile, the 200-day moving average remains far above current price action and continues sloping downward, confirming that Ethereum has not yet transitioned back into a confirmed macro bullish trend.
The highlighted resistance zone around $2,300 has become structurally important. Every attempt to break above it has been absorbed by sellers, creating a sequence of lower highs that now pressures the market toward the lower support range between $1,820 and $1,880.
Volume has also declined during the recent pullback, suggesting uncertainty rather than panic-driven capitulation. However, if ETH loses the $2,080–$2,100 region decisively, selling pressure could accelerate quickly toward the February demand zone.

Speaking in an interview for the Bonnie Blockchain channel published on May 12, Trump was asked directly about the circumstances that could force American Bitcoin to liquidate its holdings. His answer was unambiguous.
Selling would require something &#8220;beyond catastrophic,&#8221; per the interview — a framing that places the sell threshold so far outside normal market volatility, regulatory pressure, or even prolonged bear markets that it functions less as a risk management policy and more as a philosophical commitment to permanent accumulation.
The Two Races — And Why Selling Bitcoin Loses Both
The broader context behind Trump&#8217;s sell-never posture is the dual competitive framework he laid out in the same interview. According to Trump, the Bitcoin treasury space is defined by two simultaneous races: one for the largest total Bitcoin holdings, and one for the lowest possible acquisition cost. American Bitcoin, he argued, is competing in both — and selling Bitcoin loses ground in the first race immediately while undermining the entire logic of the second.
The company&#8217;s north star metric, per Trump&#8217;s interview, is growing &#8220;satoshis per share&#8221; — a measurement of how much Bitcoin each outstanding share of ABTC represents. Every Bitcoin sold dilutes that figure. Every Bitcoin mined and retained compounds it. The accumulation model only works if the coins stay, which makes the &#8220;beyond catastrophic&#8221; sell threshold not a rhetorical flourish but a structural requirement of the strategy itself.
The Saylor Reference — And The Divergence
Trump acknowledged Michael Saylor&#8217;s role in building the Bitcoin treasury category, describing him as a visionary and praising Strategy&#8217;s approach, per the interview. But he drew a pointed distinction. Saylor recently suggested that Strategy could sell some Bitcoin to help fund dividend payments — a hint of flexibility in the accumulation model that Trump appears unwilling to replicate.
American Bitcoin, he made clear, is following a stricter retention framework. Where Strategy accumulates primarily through capital markets and has signaled some exit flexibility, ABTC accumulates through mining — at a cost it claims is approximately 53% below spot — and holds without exception, per the interview.
The distinction matters for how investors read both companies. A sell-never posture from a mining-integrated treasury firm is more operationally credible than the same posture from a pure accumulator, because the marginal cost of each new coin is structurally lower and the balance sheet pressure to monetize is reduced accordingly.
For the nascent sector&#8217;s growing cohort of Bitcoin treasury companies, Trump&#8217;s &#8220;beyond catastrophic&#8221; framing marks a pivotal benchmark — the most unambiguous long-term accumulation commitment any publicly listed executive has put on record this cycle. Whether the market rewards that conviction or punishes the rigidity will depend on where Bitcoin trades over the next several years.
As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at around $82,000, with American Bitcoin&#8217;s treasury holding over 7,000 BTC as the company continues what its co-founder has now publicly described as an unconditional accumulation strategy.

The case, brought by “Noah Doe” and two Wyoming LLCs, attempts to frame inactive self-custodied crypto addresses as abandoned property under New York lost-and-found law.
The filing, submitted in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, names ABC Company, XYZ Company and Noah Doe as plaintiffs, with “John Does 1–39,069” listed as respondents. It is not a court order awarding ownership. It is a summons and amended complaint seeking declaratory relief, meaning the plaintiffs are asking the court to recognize their claimed rights to the wallets and their contents.
According to the complaint, Doe allegedly identified three sets of dormant digital wallets between December 2024 and April 2025. The first group included 1,625 wallets, or 1,544 after duplicates were excluded. The second included 546 wallets. The third and largest group included 39,911 wallets. After exclusions and alleged owner responses, the plaintiffs say the case concerns 39,069 remaining wallets they describe as abandoned.
3.79 Million Bitcoin Caught In Bizarre NY Legal Fight
The complaint says Doe reported the wallet lists to the New York City Police Department on three separate occasions using USB drives. The NYPD later returned the drives, according to the filing. The plaintiffs argue that these steps satisfied New York lost-property procedures and that title vested in Doe under New York Personal Property Law § 257 before later assignments moved most of the claimed rights into ABC Company and XYZ Company.
The size of the claim is what has drawn attention across Bitcoin circles. Sani, the operator of TimechainIndex.com, said on X that the addresses listed in the case hold 3,791,121.17697938 BTC and include addresses attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, early miners, Casascius Coins, lost coins, hackers and unidentified entities. That aggregate BTC figure and those attributions do not appear in the complaint’s body. The filing itself lists addresses and lays out the legal theory, but it does not state “Satoshi Nakamoto,” “Casascius,” or the 3.79 million BTC total.
A New York suit by “Noah Doe” and two Wyoming LLCs seeks a court order confirming their ownership of 39,069 long‑dormant Bitcoin wallets, arguing the wallets are legally “abandoned” property they found, reported to NYPD, noticed on‑chain and in the press, and then claimed… pic.twitter.com/34gH1Jqxxx
— Sani | TimechainIndex.com (@SaniExp) May 24, 2026
The legal argument is unusual because it treats dormant Bitcoin addresses as recoverable property, even though the complaint acknowledges that cryptocurrency cannot be withdrawn without the relevant private key. The filing compares wallets to bank accounts, arguing that a digital wallet can be uniquely identified by blockchain protocol, address and transaction history. But that analogy is likely to draw scrutiny from Bitcoin-native observers because ownership of a bank account and control over a self-custodied Bitcoin UTXO operate very differently in practice.
The background to the lawsuit appears to trace back to a broad on-chain notice campaign tied to Salomon Brothers Strategic Advisors. The complaint says Doe retained Salomon Brothers in February 2025 as a strategic consultant to help develop a plan for notifying potential wallet owners and identifying wallets incorrectly included in the allegedly abandoned group. It later says a cyber/blockchain expert sent messages to wallet holders using OP_RETURN, while Salomon Brothers hosted a notice webpage.
Salomon Brothers publicly framed the campaign as an effort to address risks around abandoned wallets. In an August 2025 press release, the firm said abandoned wallets could become vulnerable to better-resourced attackers and argued that “securing wallets protects” other wallet holders. The release said notices had been inserted into long-dormant wallets and gave owners at least 90 days to respond, either by conducting an on-chain transaction with the private key or by using a form on a Salomon Brothers webpage.
That Salomon Brothers connection requires careful context. Galaxy Research described the entity involved as not the historic Wall Street firm that became part of Citigroup, but a newer organization that acquired the Salomon name. Salomon Brothers’ current website describes the firm as an “alliance of professional practices” providing services including financial advisory, real estate finance and research.
Galaxy’s analysis of the related OP_RETURN campaign described it as the “Great Bitcoin Dusting.” According to Galaxy, an unknown actor sent 41,523 OP_RETURN messages from 3,738 sender addresses to 39,423 recipient addresses, which together held 2,334,482.52 BTC when the messages were transmitted. Galaxy said the campaign had two phases: initial trial messages without Salomon links, followed by waves of messages that included links to Salomon’s website.
Galaxy also found that 98.82% of the notified addresses were legacy P2PKH addresses and that the average adjusted dormancy was about 2,171 days, or roughly 5.95 years. That detail matters because Sani separately argued that, for many old coin holders, including wallets attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, notices were sent to P2PKH versions of addresses with no or only dust balances, while the real balances sit in older P2PK outputs. If accurate, that distinction could become central to the crypto community’s assessment of whether meaningful notice was ever delivered to the relevant holders.
The case now sits at the intersection of legal doctrine and protocol reality. The plaintiffs are asking a New York court to treat inactivity as abandonment and to recognize claimed ownership over wallets that have not moved for years. Bitcoin users, meanwhile, are likely to focus on a narrower but more fundamental issue: an address can be dormant because its owner is gone, because keys are lost, or because the holder has no intention of moving coins. On-chain, those cases can look identical.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,441.

In a lengthy post via X on Sunday, Buterin framed the shift as a deliberate move away from treating the EF as the “center of Ethereum” and toward a narrower function inside a broader ecosystem. He also stressed that the remarks reflected his own view, not an official unilateral directive.
“First of all, this is only my own view. The board is not just me, and I have no extra special powers on the board that the other board members do not,” Buterin wrote. He added that the board is expanding and that his own influence within the organization “will continue to decrease,” which he said is “honestly what I want.”
A Smaller Ethereum Foundation With A Narrower Mandate
Buterin said the EF’s 2025-era changes had improved execution, efficiency and focus on concrete goals. But with those issues partly resolved, he argued that a different criticism became harder to ignore: that Ethereum’s public values around decentralization, privacy and “sanctuary technology” were not always reflected strongly enough in the foundation’s actions.
The result, according to Buterin, is a transition toward a foundation that does less, but does it with more conviction. He described the EF as “one node, with a defined purpose, alongside other nodes,” rather than Ethereum’s central coordinating body.
That distinction matters financially as well as culturally. Buterin noted that the EF holds only around 0.16% of all ETH, which he said is “less than many other individual ETH holders,” while central foundations in other blockchain ecosystems often hold much larger shares. He also argued that the EF’s original fiscal role was limited: to fund the development of the chain software through the milestones described in Ethereum’s pre-launch materials, a scope he said was “fully completed in 2022.”
“And so today, the EF is choosing to use its remaining resources to pursue longevity over breadth,” Buterin wrote. “Yes, this means we sell less ETH.”
The foundation, he said, will focus specifically on work “critical to the success of ethereum as a censorship/capture-resistant, open, private and secure system” that would not happen otherwise. That means some respected people and projects may sit outside the EF, even when they are aligned with Ethereum’s broader mission.
Ethereum Should Not Chase Speed Alone
Buterin’s technical argument centered on what he called the CROPS dimension: censorship resistance, openness, privacy and security. He contrasted that with the view that Ethereum should define its ambition mainly through ultra-low latency and extreme throughput.
“To some, ‘impressive’ means: 250ms latency and 1M TPS. I think Ethereum trying to go that route is a mistake,” he wrote. “Being as fast and as scalable as possible, and only a small epsilon more decentralized than the others, is a route to mediocrity, and if we try it we will lose.”
Buterin said Ethereum should still scale, but argued that its most defensible edge should be deeper. He pointed to AI-assisted formal verification as a potential path toward a “provably bug-free Ethereum,” a goal he said would have seemed absurd to many cybersecurity researchers until recently. He also highlighted “available chain consensus,” arguing that Ethereum’s direction with lean consensus preserves properties he sees as distinct from both Bitcoin-style and traditional BFT-style systems.
A third priority is intermediary minimization. Buterin called it “honestly embarrassing” that smart contract wallets and privacy protocols often depend on intermediaries to get transactions included onchain. He cited FOCIL, EIP-8141, EIP-7701 and Kohaku as part of the push toward stronger inclusion properties, public mempool access and user-layer infrastructure that does not leak private data across multiple third-party services.
ETH The Asset Still Matters
Buterin also linked the technical direction to ETH’s economic role, calling ETH “the most high-value ‘product’ of the ethereum blockchain, financially speaking.” He said Ethereum secures $250 billion of ETH and argued that the properties he described are beneficial for the asset.
He added that nearly 90% of his net worth is in ETH, with most of the remainder in about $40 million of onchain fiat already allocated to open-source biotech, software or hardware initiatives. Still, he said some necessary work to support ETH as an asset sits outside the EF’s scope and will require other organizations and major ETH holders to step in.
The foundation’s new long-term structure, Buterin said, is expected to stabilize over the next few months. His closing description was blunt: EF will be “a smaller ship than in previous years,” more opinionated, longer-lasting and more narrowly suited to ensuring Ethereum “brings something meaningful to the world.”
At press time, ETH traded at $2,108.

The proposed settlement, filed in federal court in Miami on Friday, resolves allegations from FTX customers who accused the Silicon Valley-based firm of facilitating misconduct tied to one of the largest financial frauds in US history.
Fenwick Denies Knowledge Of FTX Illicit Activities Despite Settlement
According to court filings as reported by Reuters, Fenwick &amp; West served as a lead outside counsel for FTX during the exchange’s rapid expansion into a global crypto trading platform. Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit alleged the firm “helped to craft and implement strategies that facilitated FTX’s fraud,” accusing the lawyers of assisting with regulatory and operational structures later tied to the misuse of customer funds.
The proposed settlement agreement still requires approval from US District Judge K. Michael Moore in Miami. Attorneys representing FTX customers, including prominent litigator David Boies, argued the deal was reasonable and would prevent prolonged and costly litigation.
However, Fenwick rejected allegations that it knowingly participated in fraudulent conduct. In a public statement, the law firm said it “was not aware of the fraud at FTX,” adding that it stood by the integrity of its legal work. The $54 million agreement marks the largest settlement in a second wave of FTX-related class action resolutions.
Other settlements include an $11.75 million payment from former FTX auditor Prager Metis and a $420,000 settlement involving former Miami Heat player Udonis Haslem, who promoted the exchange.
The Journey So Far
FTX collapsed in November 2022 after revelations that an estimated $11- $13 billion in customer funds had allegedly been diverted to its sister trading firm, Alameda Research. The exchange’s bankruptcy triggered widespread panic across the digital asset market and erased $200 billion in global crypto market cap.
In 2024, founder Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted on fraud and conspiracy charges and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Although he pleaded not guilty and has since appealed the conviction, claiming the initial trial was unfairly prejudiced against him.
Meanwhile, the FTX Recovery Trust has continued efforts to reimburse affected creditors under the company’s Chapter 11 restructuring process. In March 2026, the estate announced a fourth distribution of approximately $2.2 billion, bringing cumulative repayments to eligible claimants close to $10 billion. Several customer classes, including many US-based users, have reportedly reached full or near-full recovery levels under the court-approved repayment plan.

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