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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Forward Industries To Be Included In Russell 2000 From June 29th
According to a press release, Forward Industries is joining the Russell 2000 and 3000 indexes. The publicly traded company has historically focused on design and manufacturing, but last year, it pivoted toward a digital-asset treasury (DAT) model based on Solana. With backing from major industry names like Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto, Forward Industries quickly became the largest corporate holder of SOL.
As of March 2026, the firm&#8217;s treasury held a total of 7,013,536 tokens. Forward spent more than $1.5 billion to assemble this stack, but at the current exchange rate of the cryptocurrency, the reserves are only worth about $586.4 million, meaning that it is holding a significant unrealized loss.
Following the latest semi-annual reconstitution of Russell indexes, Forward has been included in the Russell 3000 index, which captures the 3,000 largest stocks in the United States as of April 30th. As a result of this inclusion, the company has gained an automatic membership in the Russell 2000, which corresponds to small-cap assets.
Ryan Navi, the chief investment officer of the firm, noted:
Inclusion in the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® marks an important milestone for Forward and reinforces the growing institutional recognition of our strategy, scale, and execution.
The current underwater status of Forward&#8217;s Solana holdings is naturally a result of the bearish shift that the digital asset sector has faced since Q4 2025. Compared to when the firm began its SOL buying in September 2025, the asset&#8217;s spot price is down more than 65%. In response to the market drawdown, the DAT company has significantly slowed down its Solana accumulation, although it hasn&#8217;t participated in any selling.
Navi said:
As we continue executing our disciplined Solana treasury strategy and compounding SOL-per-share, we believe Forward is well-positioned to establish itself as a leading institutional platform for digital asset exposure.
Forward Industries isn&#8217;t the only DAT firm that has been included in the Russell index with the latest reconstitution. As announced in a press release, Sharplink has also won its inclusion in the Russell 2000 and 3000 indexes.
Sharplink is the second-largest Ethereum treasury company in the world, behind only Tom Lee&#8217;s Bitmine. According to the ETH dashboard on the company&#8217;s website, it holds a total of 874,351 ETH ($1.81 billion) right now. Like Forward, Sharplink is also facing a significant loss on its treasury reserves, being down more than $1.2 billion.
Joseph Chalom, Sharplink chief executive officer, noted:
Joining the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 is a meaningful validation of Sharplink’s institutional-grade ETH treasury strategy and we believe will broaden SBET&#8217;s shareholder base while strengthening our access to capital markets.
Solana Price
At the time of writing, Solana is trading around $84, down 2% over the last 24 hours.

Lummis’ Warning On CLARITY Act: Miss 2026, Prosecution Comes Next</title><description><![CDATA[Senator Cynthia Lummis issued a fresh warning on Wednesday about the timing and urgency of the long-awaited CLARITY Act, a bill intended to lay out a clearer regulatory framework for the crypto industry. 
In her comments, the pro-crypto lawmaker focused on what she described as the real-world risk to software developers if the legislation does not move forward quickly enough.
Lummis Warns Code Publishers Are At Risk
Lummis’s statement followed this month’s progress in the Senate. The Senate Banking Committee approved its portion of the bill, building on a prior step earlier in January when the Agriculture Committee successfully voted on its version. 
With those committee actions complete, the bill still faces several major hurdles before it could become law: a full Senate vote, the legislative reconciliation steps needed to finalize the bill, and a final agreement between the House and the Senate—before the legislation reaches the President’s desk.
On X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Lummis said, “If the Clarity Act doesn&#8217;t pass this Congress, American software developers will be targeted again for prosecution in the near future just for publishing code. These are the stakes.” 
The core of her warning, in other words, is that today’s regulatory uncertainty leaves a lot of software developers looking over their shoulders—especially when they’re writing code that helps run blockchain-related services.
What The CLARITY Act Would Change
The CLARITY Act includes several provisions aimed at reducing that uncertainty. One key part is the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, which is designed to protect software developers and infrastructure providers from being treated as money transmitters when they do not control customer funds. 
The CLARITY Act also addresses scenarios in which people compile network transactions. It directs the SEC to clarify when securities laws apply to decentralized finance trading protocols, specifically those involved in activities tied to securities.
As such, if the bill does not pass this year, a new administration—potentially bringing fresh appointments at regulatory agencies—could increase scrutiny across the broader sector. 
This could also draw more attention to code publishers operating in an environment where legal boundaries remain unclear. This could lead to renewed action similar to that seen during the Biden administration and under the leadership of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

Both cryptocurrencies are native to first-mover blockchain networks, which have survived for more than a decade, have processed large amounts of value, and have built strong investor communities.
However, both blockchain networks are also different in their operation, and that difference is where the comparison becomes very interesting.
XRP Ledger Holding Up Against The Bitcoin Network
Bitcoin is the first decentralized monetary network secured by proof-of-work, giving it unmatched strength as a store-of-value system. The XRP Ledger, on the other hand, was built for fast settlement, low transaction costs, and a payments-focused utility.
Network reliability is the baseline by which any financial infrastructure is judged. Based on this measure, both Bitcoin and the Ledger carry strong records, but one has a better record than the other. According to data from one XRP market commentator that goes by the name Rob Cunningham on the social media platform X, the XRP Ledger has less documented downtime compared to the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin&#8217;s documented downtime history runs to roughly 888 minutes, concentrated in two notable incidents that are now more than a decade in the past. These were an 8.5-hour outage in 2010 caused by a value overflow bug and a 6.3-hour disruption in 2013 stemming from a consensus fork. Since 2013, Bitcoin has maintained a clean 100% operational record, over 13 years of unbroken uptime as of mid-2026, with an overall historical uptime of approximately 99.988%.
The XRP Ledger&#8217;s documented downtime is much lower, at approximately 74 minutes in total. This downtime is concentrated in two brief events: a 10-minute disruption in November 2024 affecting some nodes due to a software bug, and a 64-minute consensus drift in February 2025 that self-healed without external coordination. The Ledger claims an uptime figure of approximately 99.999%, which puts it ahead of Bitcoin in this metric. 
The Quantum Question And What Comes Next
XRPL outpaces Bitcoin in terms of uptime, utility, speed, cost efficiency, and energy usage. Bitcoin processes blocks roughly every 10 minutes, with fees that fluctuate significantly during periods of network congestion. The XRP Ledger, on the other hand, processes transactions in three to five seconds, with consistent throughput. Transaction costs on the Ledger run to fractions of a cent, which is also consistently low regardless of network demand. 
Perhaps the most forward-looking dimension of the comparison between the Bitcoin network and the XRP Ledger is how each network is positioning itself against the long-term threat of quantum computing. Bitcoin currently has no formal roadmap for post-quantum cryptography, but the Ledger is moving in a different direction. 
Ripple published a detailed four-phase roadmap in April 2026 to prepare the XRP Ledger for a post-quantum future, targeting full readiness by 2028. The plan responds to recent research from Google Quantum AI that shows quantum computers could break current blockchain cryptography with fewer resources and on a faster timeline than previously estimated, with some scenarios placing a credible threat window as early as 2032.

The letter, dated May 22, 2026 and shared by BankXRP on X, points to a broader push for regulatory clarity around collateral treatment, custody requirements and whether on-chain records can serve as the authoritative legal registry for tokenized assets.
The document is addressed to the SEC Crypto Task Force at the US Securities and Exchange Commission and is marked as a follow-up to a prior Ripple meeting with the task force. According to the letter, Ripple met with the group on March 20, 2026 to discuss “the treatment of payment stablecoins and tokenized securities under the net capital and customer protection rules, and potential next steps for broader guidance.”
“We are submitting this response as a follow-up to several questions raised in our meeting,” Ripple wrote in the visible portion of the letter. “The enclosed sections outline our rationale and suggestions for the Task Force to provide clarity to the issues at hand. The response addresses the following:”
JUST IN: Ripple officially submitted a follow-up letter to the SEC Crypto Task Force on May 22, 2026
Here&#8217;s what they&#8217;re demanding: Stablecoins treated as proper collateral RLUSD haircut reduced to 0% XRP &amp; other non-securities get same treatment as BTC &amp; ETH

— ????????????????XRP (@BankXRP) May 27, 2026
What Ripple Is Requesting From The SEC
The first issue raised is the treatment of stablecoins as collateral. Ripple’s letter calls for Rule 15c3-1 to be amended to clarify how stablecoins can be applied on broker-dealer balance sheets. That rule sits at the center of net capital requirements, making the treatment of stablecoin collateral a practical issue for regulated intermediaries that want to handle tokenized instruments without facing capital treatment that makes the activity uneconomic.
Ripple also asks the SEC to clarify requirements for custodying clients’ stablecoins. The company proposes amending Rule 15c3-3, the customer protection rule, to define a new category called “Qualified Payment Stablecoins.” The framing suggests Ripple is seeking a clearer regulatory box for stablecoins used in payments and settlement, rather than forcing them into legacy categories that may not reflect how these assets function in crypto market structure.
Another major point concerns crypto asset non-securities beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The letter asks the SEC to clarify that “crypto asset non-securities aside from BTC and ETH can receive equivalent treatment,” citing the agency’s recently released guidance on the application of securities laws to crypto assets. Ripple specifically proposes revising Question 4 in the SEC’s FAQ relating to crypto asset activities to account for any non-securities that meet the “readily marketable” definition.
That language matters because it pushes against a narrow regulatory framework in which only BTC and ETH are treated as clearly eligible for certain forms of favorable or workable treatment. While the visible page does not name XRP directly in that section, the implication is significant for assets that issuers, exchanges or broker-dealers may argue are non-securities and sufficiently liquid to be treated similarly under capital and customer protection analysis.
The letter also challenges the SEC’s treatment of stablecoin haircuts. Ripple says it is providing analysis showing that a 2% haircut for stablecoins “remains punitive,” and argues that “Stablecoins should have a 0% haircut” when there is a mint-burn relationship between the broker-dealer and issuer. For firms operating in tokenized settlement, that distinction could affect whether stablecoins are usable at scale as collateral or treated as carrying a capital cost that limits adoption.
The final issue listed in the letter goes to tokenized asset ownership. Ripple asks the SEC to clarify whether an off-chain or on-chain registry takes precedence in determining ownership and legally enforceable rights. Its proposed answer is direct: “Designate the on-chain registry as the single authoritative legal register,” which Ripple says would eliminate “dual-registry ambiguity” in digital twin structures.
BankXRP framed the submission more aggressively, saying Ripple was demanding stablecoins be treated as proper collateral, RLUSD receive a 0% haircut, XRP and other non-securities get the same treatment as BTC and ETH, and on-chain registries be recognized as the only legal record. “Ripple isn’t asking anymore. They’re telling,” the XRP community account wrote.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.3299.

Daodu points to a 30-day liquidity index that has fallen to roughly 0.043, the lowest level since January 2020. 
For context, between 2022 and 2024 the same index typically sat above 3—and at times above 4—signaling a much deeper and more active market.
XRP Liquidity Thins
What makes this shift stand out is that it appears to have happened while price strength was holding up. Daodu says market depth thinned out as XRP pushed to new highs in 2025, then continued to thin even as the token maintained its current trading range this year. 
The liquidity drop was reflected in exchange flows. Between May 3 and May 15, around 403 million XRP left Binance, with large wallets withdrawing tokens almost every session. 
The pattern resurfaced on May 22: whales removed $49.2 million worth of XRP while the price remained below $1.35. Daodu notes that similar behavior also showed up in late February and twice in March, again around the $1.35 to $1.40 area.
On the surface, withdrawals can look like a quiet positive because they reduce potential sell-side supply on the exchange. But Daodu’s key point is that removing coins from Binance doesn’t automatically produce a rebound. Price still depends on buyers showing up. 
CryptoQuant’s interpretation adds another layer: the drain appears less like long-term investors losing confidence and more like a change in who holds XRP and where that liquidity sits.
CryptoQuant’s Explanation
CryptoQuant suggests large holders may be relocating XRP from Binance to venues such as over-the-counter (OTC) desks and regulated funds—places institutions typically use to trade large sizes privately. 
In that reading, XRP isn’t necessarily being dumped into the market. Instead, it’s being moved beyond the reach of the retail order book, which is why liquidity on Binance is thinning while the token’s broader narrative can remain intact.
This distinction matters because a thinner order book changes how XRP’s price reacts to trades. Daodu explains that when there are fewer orders resting near the current price, there’s less liquidity to absorb incoming market activity. 
That means even a single medium-sized order—something that might barely register in a deeper environment—can move XRP by roughly 4% to 5% on its own. 
‘Neither And Both’ Read
The same thinness that makes sell-offs more painful can also make rallies more dramatic. If buyers return with size, there may be little resistance in the form of resting sell orders. 
In that scenario, a wave of positive news or even one large buyer could push XRP higher quickly, because there’s less in the way to slow the move. 
So is the liquidity drop a red flag or a bullish setup? Based on the data, Daodu’s framing is that it’s both “neither and both.” A five-year liquidity low isn’t, by itself, a crash signal. But it also isn’t an all-clear. 
With the market’s “usual cushion” stripped away, XRP appears caught between durable support and an unusually hollow order book, leaving the next significant volume wave to decide the outcome. 
At the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at the lowest point of its three-month consolidation range, at $1.32. This represented a 5% drop over the course of the month.

Bitcoin held its ground above $74,000 when BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) shed over a billion dollars in BTC through consecutive daily redemptions, and a Satoshi-era miner shifted $203 million to over-the-counter trading desks, showing that someone on the other side of these transactions was absorbing the pressure.
BlackRock-Linked Bitcoin Wallets Shed Over $1 Billion With IBIT Outflows
Arkham Intelligence data shows that BlackRock-linked Bitcoin wallets sold every trading day last week, with total sales reaching about $1.01 billion for the entire week. The tracked movements were tied to about 15,000 BTC sent through Coinbase Prime, a flow that appears connected to redemptions from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, IBIT.
However, the selling did not stop there, as the outflows have continued into this week. On May 25, an additional $105.19 million in outflows was recorded from IBIT, while another $333.71 million was recorded in outflows on May 26, extending the pressure into the new week.
The balance history data from Arkham shows IBIT&#8217;s holdings peaked above $75 billion in the first half of May, briefly touching near $75.5 billion around May 11. From that point, the fund&#8217;s balance declined in a near-uninterrupted slide, falling below $67 billion by May 26, a drop of about $8 billion from peak to trough over less than three weeks.
According to data from SoSoValue, the 11 US pot Bitcoin ETFs logged net outflows of $1.26 billion across the five trading days from May 18 to May 22. The reversal is notable given that April recorded $1.97 billion in net inflows, the strongest monthly total of 2026, and an early-May streak.

Satoshi-Era Miner Moves $203 Million In Bitcoin
The ETF outflows are not the only large-wallet activity catching attention. A Satoshi-era Bitcoin miner moved 2,650 BTC, worth around $203 million, to FalconX and Cumberland, two major OTC desks used by large holders and institutional counterparties. The transfers were split across three transactions, and the wallet still held about 6,000 BTC, worth about $460 million.
OTC desks are used to reduce visible price impact, especially when a large holder wants to find private counterparties without dropping a block of coins directly on crypto exchanges. There&#8217;s also the case of these Satoshi-era coins moving from inactive supply to active supply.
The strange part of this setup is that retail behavior has not fully matched the outflows coming from large wallets. Dip-buying language is loud across crypto social media, and Bitcoin’s ability to hold above $76,000 despite more than $1 billion in ETF-linked selling has helped keep the bullish crowd active. 
The question being asked by Arkham, &#8220;If BlackRock is selling… who’s buying?&#8221; captures the current divide. The supply is clearly moving, but there is still enough demand to keep Bitcoin from breaking down immediately below $76,000.

Mastercard Wins Major Regulatory Approval
On Wednesday, Mastercard announced that its subsidiary Mastercard Transaction Services (U.S.) LLC had been granted a BitLicense by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to operate digital asset services under the strict regulatory framework.
New York’s BitLicense framework is one of the most rigorous and comprehensive crypto regulatory frameworks in the US. It establishes strict requirements for consumer safeguards, cyber defenses, financial integrity, and operational resilience.
The payment giant joins the list of companies to receive the license in 2026. As reported by Bitcoinist, the NYDFS granted GalaxyOne Prime NY, its entity designed to serve New York clients, both a BitLicense and a Money Transmission License last week, allowing the company to provide institutional trading and custody services to clients.
The approval aligns with Mastercard’s long‑term strategy for digital assets, especially stablecoins and tokenized deposits, while maintaining and building upon the same standards that support its global payments network.
It also supports Mastercard’s commitment to “meeting the high standards required to operate in a well‑regulated financial environment as payment systems continue to evolve,” the announcement noted.
Jorn Lambert, Chief Product Officer at Mastercard, stated that “clear regulatory frameworks play an important role in building trust and confidence as new forms of digital value move from experimentation toward practical application,” adding that “this approval underscores our focus on aligning innovation with regulatory expectations of high levels of security, compliance and risk management.”
The company also reaffirmed its goal to advance interoperability, reliability, and trust within the payments ecosystem. Additionally, it emphasized the strengthening of the infrastructure that underpins global commerce, ensuring its safe and scalable operation.
Mastercard Expands Digital Asset Strategy
Mastercard has made strategic moves in the digital asset landscape this year, including the launch of a global partnership program to connect crypto payments to the company’s network.
In March, the payments giant announced an initiative to scale digital assets, integrate them seamlessly into existing payment frameworks, and position itself as a bridge between digital assets and traditional payment systems.
The company partnered with more than 85 firms from the payment and financial sectors, including Circle, Binance, Ripple, SoFi Technologies, Global Payments’ Worldpay, PayPal, BitGo, Crypto.com, Gemini, and Paxos.
This project follows a collaboration between Ripple, Gemini, WebBank, and Mastercard to explore settling Gemini Credit Card transactions using Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
In addition, Mastercard, alongside Ondo Finance, Kinexys, and Ripple, completed the first near-real-time cross-border, cross-bank redemption of tokenized US Treasuries in early May. The pilot, executed in under five seconds, used XRP Ledger as the settlement blockchain, connecting public blockchain infrastructure directly to global banking rails for the first time.
The company also announced earlier this year the acquisition of BVNK, a stablecoin infrastructure solutions provider operating in more than 130 countries. The deal aimed to expand Mastercard’s end-to-end support of digital assets and “value movement across currencies, rails, and regions.”

The S&amp;P: How The Stock Market Predicts The BTC Bottom Before the Rally</title><description><![CDATA[Crypto analyst Chain Mind has drawn a correlation between Bitcoin and the S&amp;P 500, noting how the latter could determine the BTC bottom. Based on analysis, the leading crypto has yet to find a bottom, with the stock market still making new highs. 
Bitcoin Yet To Bottom With The S&amp;P 500 Still Reach New Highs
In an X post, Chain Mind stated that Bitcoin has never bottomed before the S&amp;P 500 does. He further noted that each BTC bear market ended exactly when the stock market made its final retrace, as in the 2015, 2018, and 2022 cycles. The analyst added that BTC is repeating the same structure again. Meanwhile, he noted that the stock market hasn’t printed its final retrace yet, which means that BTC hasn’t bottomed.  
The S&amp;P 500 continues to reach new all-time highs (ATHs), climbing above $7,500 this week, and has yet to see a significant retrace despite the U.S.-Iran war. As such, the Bitcoin bottom may not be in. However, Chain Mind suggested that BTC may soon bottom, with a potential retrace for the stock market on the horizon. 
In another X post, Chain Mind stated that the S&amp;P 500 is showing a classic top signal, including a broadening pattern, a parabolic arc, and a fake breakout. He noted that history shows this exact setup before every major top, as this setup appeared during the Dotcom bubble and the financial crisis in 2008. The analyst added that the macro confirms this, with the Buffett Indicator at historical highs, suggesting a dump is imminent. In line with this, he declared that the stock market won’t reach $9,000 as some have predicted. 
BTC May Be Forming A Topping Pattern
In an X post, crypto analyst Colin stated that he sees the current Bitcoin price action as a potential Head-and-Shoulders topping pattern. He noted that BTC will have to break below the neckline to confirm this bearish pattern. The analyst added that if that happens, the downside target will be $65,000, and that it could even drop lower due to a potential breakdown of the yellow channel, with the target being as low as $61,000. As such, he believes that this is something to keep an eye on. 
Meanwhile, crypto analyst Chain Mind revealed that Bitcoin has just printed a Head-and-Shoulders pattern on the 1-week chart. He noted that the cycle structure has played out exactly as expected, with a first peak, a cycle high, a final rebound, and now a dump. He added that BTC has gotten the final rejection to dump and will mark the final bottom at around $50,000.

The firm said the products’ early asset accumulation marks the strongest debut it has tracked for a spot crypto ETF on that basis.
Hyperliquid ETFs Mark Strongest Debut In Crypto ETF History
Kairos said spot HYPE ETFs absorbed 1.04% of HYPE’s market capitalization over their first 10 trading days. That compares with 0.59% for spot Bitcoin ETFs, 0.41% for spot Ethereum ETFs and 0.31% for spot Solana ETFs across the same initial trading window, using a new-issuer cohort and stripping out GBTC and ETHE outflows because those products were legacy trust conversions.
“Spot HYPE ETFs have absorbed 1.04% of HYPE’s market cap in their first 10 trading days,” Kairos wrote on X. “Strongest debut of any spot crypto ETF to date. HYPE: 1.04%. BTC: 0.59%. ETH: 0.41%. SOL: 0.31%.”
The comparison is notable because it frames demand relative to the underlying asset’s market size rather than simply ranking ETF launches by dollar inflows. In absolute terms, Bitcoin products still operate on a much larger scale. But Kairos’ metric suggests that, adjusted for the size of the underlying token market, HYPE’s ETF launch has drawn unusually strong early demand.
SoSoValue data supports the picture of a fast start. The platform lists total net assets across US HYPE spot ETFs at $117.38 million, equal to 0.88% of HYPE’s market capitalization, with cumulative total net inflows of $95.36 million. Daily net inflows stood at $20.45 million, while total value traded reached $53.76 million.
The market currently consists of two listed products in the SoSoValue dataset: Bitwise’s BHYP on NYSE and 21Shares’ THYP on Nasdaq. BHYP accounted for the larger daily inflow on May 26, taking in $19.05 million and bringing cumulative net inflows to $55 million. THYP added $1.41 million on the day, with cumulative net inflows of $44 million.
Assets were more evenly split. SoSoValue listed BHYP with $62.92 million in net assets, representing 0.47% of HYPE market capitalization, while THYP held $54.46 million, or 0.41%. Trading activity was also balanced: BHYP recorded $23.30 million in value traded, compared with $30.35 million for THYP. Both products closed higher on the day, with BHYP up 9.49% and THYP up 9.44%.
Kairos also addressed a methodological question around whether the 1.04% figure was based on circulating supply. In response to a user, the firm said it avoided that approach because of uncertainty around the correct way to calculate HYPE’s circulating supply.
“No &#8211; given disputes on how to properly calc HYPE circ supply we did a different methodology you can see in bottom right hand corner,” Kairos wrote. “We ran the same thing using circ supply and the results are roughly the same even when you include &amp; exclude GBTC &amp; ETHE.”
That caveat matters because ETF absorption metrics can shift depending on whether analysts use total market capitalization, free float, circulating supply or adjusted supply. Kairos’ argument is that HYPE’s relative lead remains intact even under alternative supply assumptions and even when legacy trust dynamics are handled differently.
At press time, Hyperliquid traded at $62.90.

The proposal, titled AMM Swappable Curves and designated XLS Discussion #547, was submitted by Denis Angell (@dangell7) and Roman Thpt (@RomThpt) — both active contributors to the XRPL codebase — and is currently in draft status awaiting community review, per the GitHub discussion thread. It builds directly on XLS-30, the amendment that introduced XRPL&#8217;s original automated market maker in 2024.
The Problem The Proposal Solves
The current XRP Ledger AMM operates on a single invariant: the constant product formula — the same model used by Uniswap v2, where liquidity is spread uniformly across all price ranges. The proposal identifies three structural gaps that limit the current system&#8217;s competitiveness.
The first is capital inefficiency. Spreading liquidity uniformly means that only a small fraction is ever active near the current market price — making it less attractive for liquidity providers than concentrated alternatives. The second is curve inflexibility. Volatile trading pairs benefit from constant product pools. Stablecoin pairs benefit from StableSwap curves, which minimize slippage between closely correlated assets. Long-tail or asymmetrically weighted pairs benefit from Balancer-style weighting.
Forcing all pairs into one model is a structural disadvantage, per the proposal. The third is composability. The XRPL payment engine already routes across AMM pools and its native order book — adding curve diversity multiplies available liquidity sources without requiring changes to existing pathfinding logic.
What The Amendment Would Introduce
The proposal introduces a pluggable curve architecture — pool creators select their preferred curve type at creation time from an initial set of three. Curve 0 is the existing constant product model, preserving full backward compatibility with all existing XLS-30 pools. Curve 1 is Concentrated Liquidity — equivalent to Uniswap v3 — allowing liquidity providers to target specific price ranges for dramatically greater capital efficiency. Curve 2 is StableSwap — equivalent to Curve Finance v1 — optimized for stablecoin and correlated asset pairs where minimal slippage matters most, per the proposal&#8217;s specification.
A fourth curve type — Smart AMM — is reserved for a forthcoming companion specification. It would allow pool creators to deploy WebAssembly binaries providing fully custom swap mathematics, dynamic fees, and lifecycle hooks including before and after swap, deposit, and withdrawal events. The architecture intentionally mirrors the host ABI and sandbox model already being developed for XLS-100 Smart Escrows — meaning the WASM runtime infrastructure is being built once and reused across multiple XRPL features, per the proposal.
Why It Matters For XRP
Multiple pools per token pair — one for each curve type — would operate simultaneously without affecting existing pools. The XRPL&#8217;s payment engine would route across all of them automatically, selecting the optimal liquidity source for each transaction without any changes required from end users or existing integrations, per the technical specification.
This development marks a pivotal moment for the XRP Ledger&#8217;s DeFi infrastructure. A protocol that already hosts over $2 billion in tokenized real-world assets and processes $1.93 billion in monthly stablecoin transfers gaining Uniswap v3-grade concentrated liquidity and Curve Finance-style stable pools would represent a meaningful step toward institutional-grade on-chain liquidity — exactly the infrastructure that the asset managers, banks, and stablecoin issuers currently building on XRPL will eventually require.

Galaxy research lead Alex Thorn first flagged the transaction on X, calling it a “massive $1.289 billion IBIT block sale by an unknown party through dark pool at 10:30am today.” Thorn said it was the “biggest such trade I&#8217;ve ever seen,” while adding that he was still checking whether it was the largest in IBIT’s history.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas later said the trade had been confirmed. “Confirmed.. 29 million share trade ($1.3b) of IBIT executed at 1030am this morning. This screen shows all the IBIT trades today by size and you can see one of these is not like the others. Price unchanged today so mkt absorbed it well.”
James Seyffart, another Bloomberg ETF analyst, also said he had verified the print on his terminal. “It was def a massive block sale of IBIT,” he wrote. “29.2 million shares.”
Spot Bitcoin ETF Continue To Bleed
The trade comes after a sharp reversal in US spot BTC ETF flows. According to SoSoValue, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.257 billion of net outflows during the May 18–22 trading week, with IBIT accounting for $1.008 billion of that total. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $112 million of weekly outflows, while total spot Bitcoin ETF net assets stood at $98.87 billion and cumulative net inflows at $57.08 billion.
That followed another weak week. For May 11–15, SoSoValue data shows $1.039 billion of net outflows, ending six consecutive weeks of inflows. ARKB led that week’s withdrawals with $324 million, while IBIT saw $317 million of outflows; total spot Bitcoin ETF net assets were then listed at $104.29 billion.
The daily data also shows that the pressure was not confined to a single print. SoSoValue data shows US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $70.47 million of net outflows on May 20, extending the streak to four days, followed by $101 million on May 21 and $105 million on May 22, the sixth consecutive day of outflows.
Michael Nadeau of The DeFi Report framed the sale against that broader run of withdrawals. “This is on the heels of $2.5b of outflows over the last few weeks. The ETFs have held up remarkably well. Many have pointed to this as evidence that the bottom is in.”
He added a more cautious macro read: “But it looks like institutions are starting to get skittish about what they&#8217;re holding in an environment where inflation and rates are rising.”
At press time, BTC traded at $75,730.

Russia-Linked Crypto Firms Hit With New Sanctions
On Tuesday, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO) announced a new package of sanctions targeting crypto firms and illicit networks used by Russia to circumvent sanctions and channel funds.
The announcement disclosed that the Kremlin has “increasingly turned to dark networks and shadow financial systems to bypass legal restrictions.” Consequently, the UK government is taking measures to restrict these avenues and adapt its approach to counter Russian evasion strategies effectively and shut down the payment routes that fuel its “war machine” against Ukraine.
The package designated 18 entities linked to Russia’s illicit financial infrastructure used to move funds, procure goods, and sustain the war against Ukraine, such as the A7 network. Notably, the Kremlin-backed network reportedly exploits Kyrgyzstan’s financial systems to channel funds into Russia.
The measures target key A7-linked individuals, including a Kyrgyz bank suspected of facilitating payments for the network and a major global cryptocurrency exchange suspected of channeling over $1.5 billion back into the Kremlin’s hands.
Officials have sanctioned Huobi Global S.A., the Panamanian company that operates crypto exchange HTX, listing it as part of the “entities and individuals involved in making available funds, economic resources, goods or technology to individuals and entities in the Russian financial sector.”
A spokesperson for HTX told Bloomberg that “Regulatory compliance remains our absolute top priority at HTX,” adding that they “proactively monitor and strictly adhere to regulatory frameworks in all jurisdictions where we operate globally, including the UK.”
The FCDO also imposed sanctions on three Georgian companies operating Russia-focused exchanges seeking to evade sanctions. The list names crypto exchanges and financial services providers, EXMO Exchange Limited, ARVIX Limited Liability Company, RAPIRA GROUP LLC, AIFORY LLC, among others, as entities and individuals “involved in supporting the Russian financial sector.”
International Crackdown Intensifies
Over the past four years, the UK has sanctioned over 3,300 individuals, businesses, and ships to sever the Kremlin’s access to vital cash flows, the announcement noted. This has significantly impacted Russia’s war economy, with officials estimating the loss of approximately $450 billion due to international sanctions, equivalent to four years of funding for its war against Ukraine.
Earlier this year, the European Commission (EC) began exploring measures to prohibit all crypto transactions linked to Russia to further crack down on the country’s use of digital assets to evade sanctions.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the EC’s proposal focused on preventing the growth of successors to the Russia-linked exchange Garantex, targeting payments platform A7 and connected ruble-pegged stablecoin A7A5.
The FCDO noted that “as long as the killing in Ukraine continues, the UK and its allies stand ready to ratchet up pressure on Russia and will continue to strengthen sanctions at every opportunity.”
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that “If the Kremlin thinks it can evade our sanctions by hiding behind crypto networks and shadow financial systems, it is gravely mistaken.”
“We will continue to act fast and decisively, alongside our allies, to expose, disrupt and dismantle these networks, and ensure those enabling Russia’s aggression face consequences,” she concluded.

The Seoul Southern District Prosecutors&#8217; Office Virtual Asset Crime Joint Investigation Unit announced on May 27 that it had arrested and indicted two suspects on market manipulation charges, indicted a third without arrest, and separately indicted two additional suspects for obstructing justice by helping the ringleader evade capture — five defendants in total across two separate charging tracks, per Digital Asset&#8217;s May 27 reporting of the prosecutor&#8217;s statement.
How The Solana Scheme Worked
The operation centered on CATFI — a Solana-based meme coin launched on pump.fun, the widely used Solana token issuance platform that gained significant traction during the early 2025 meme coin frenzy. The group spent several million Korean won to launch the token and list it on a decentralized exchange, per the prosecution&#8217;s account.
The ringleader, identified only by his surname Park, operated under the influencer alias &#8220;EtherFather&#8221; on social media — presenting himself as an independent third party with no financial interest in the project while actively recommending CATFI purchases to his followers. Simultaneously, the group operated the project&#8217;s official social media accounts, artificially inflating follower counts and publishing false promotional announcements to drive retail buying interest, per the prosecutor&#8217;s statement as reported by Digital Asset.
To conceal their control over the token&#8217;s supply, the group distributed holdings across multiple wallets and conducted circular trading — a technique designed to create the appearance of organic market activity while masking the fact that the issuing parties controlled the token&#8217;s liquidity. Once retail investors had entered, the group executed the rug pull — abandoning the project and exiting with approximately 400 million Korean won in illicit proceeds from an initial outlay of roughly 10 million won, per the filing.
The Scale Of The Damage
CATFI&#8217;s price surged 1,001 times in the 26 hours following its launch, attracting approximately 6,000 investors. Of those, 256 suffered confirmed financial losses totaling approximately 900 million Korean won — roughly $650,000 at current exchange rates — per the prosecution&#8217;s figures cited in the Digital Asset report.
Why The Precedent Matters
Two firsts define this case&#8217;s significance. It is the first prosecution under the Virtual Asset User Protection Act using fraudulent trading charges — specifically the act&#8217;s prohibition on &#8220;use of fraudulent means, plans, or schemes&#8221; and &#8220;false statements on material matters&#8221; in connection with digital asset transactions, per the prosecution&#8217;s legal framing.
The prior landmark case under the same law applied market manipulation charges relating to centralized exchange activity. This case extends that framework to decentralized exchange transactions for the first time — a meaningful expansion of regulatory reach into a space prosecutors have historically struggled to address.
This development marks a critical juncture for the nascent sector&#8217;s regulatory trajectory in South Korea. A successful rug pull prosecution targeting DEX activity on Solana, influencer-driven manipulation, and coordinated wallet obfuscation simultaneously signals that Korean enforcement agencies are developing both the technical capability and the legal framework to pursue crypto fraud beyond the centralized exchange perimeter.

After challenges ranging from security concerns to government investigations, Spanish regulators have begun a formal process against both prediction market operators and ordered their sites blocked nationwide.
Sanctions Against Polymarket And Kalshi
Spain’s Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling launched a sanctioning process targeting Polymarket and Kalshi. Along with opening the procedure, the authority ordered the nationwide blocking of both platforms’ websites across Spanish territory as a precautionary step, pending the outcome of the case.
Spain’s regulator framed the action around allegations that the companies are operating without the proper authorization. In an official release connected to the matter, the agency said it initiated the sanctioning procedure over what it described as breaches of gambling rules. 
The accusation centers on the claim that Polymarket and Kalshi are present in Spain without the mandatory administrative license. According to the regulator, Spain—similar to other European jurisdictions—treats prediction markets as games of chance where users place wagers on uncertain future outcomes. 
Under that interpretation, platforms operating in Spanish territory must obtain a specific administrative license. The authority argued that operators without authorization do not provide the technical and regulatory guarantees Spain requires for gambling activities. 
Those safeguards include systems for identity verification, mechanisms designed to prevent access by minors, controls related to self-excluded or banned individuals, and supervisory standards intended to protect users.
The regulator also indicated that the procedure against both Polymarket and Kalshi is expected to run for roughly three to four months before a final decision is issued.
US Investigation, Indonesia Ban
The Spanish action follows pressure on Polymarket and Kalshi elsewhere, making it an unusually tough month for the sector. Earlier developments included Polymarket dealing with an exploit and also being banned in Indonesia on Monday after increased local attention surrounding a bet related to the President’s term. 
Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs said the restriction was intended to protect the public, with emphasis on younger users and people participating in the digital space. 
In the US, Representative James Comer announced a formal investigation into the duo of prediction market platforms. In that inquiry, Comer requested that the CEOs of both companies explain how their platforms detect and prevent insider trading. 
The probe was reportedly prompted by a series of suspicious trades linked to classified US military operations and geopolitical events. With Spain now moving to sanction and block access, the regulatory list continues to expand.

Bitcoin Has Seen Institutional Demand Turn Red Recently
In a new post on X, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards has discussed the latest trend in the institutional demand for Bitcoin. The indicator cited by Edwards is the &#8220;Net Institutional Buying,&#8221; which gauges the net trend of institutions in the BTC market.
As a proxy for institutions, the metric makes use of the data of the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital-asset treasury (DAT) companies. The spot ETFs are investment vehicles that allow investors to gain indirect exposure to Bitcoin. These funds hold and custody BTC on behalf of their investors. Similarly, DAT firms also provide their traders with exposure to the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price by holding BTC on their balance sheets.
As both of these represent a regulated off-chain route into digital assets, they tend to be the preferred mode of investment for the more traditional traders like institutions.
Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the Net Institutional Buying for Bitcoin over the last couple of years:
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Net Institutional Buying rose to a positive level during March and stayed there until very recently, indicating that demand from massive entities was pouring into the cryptocurrency.
The trend has changed, however, and the metric is now back inside the negative territory. &#8220;Institutions are once again dumping on us,&#8221; noted Edwards. The indicator&#8217;s decline has primarily been driven by the United States spot ETFs, which have observed a shift toward net outflows since the May 12th Consumer Price Index (CPI) report.
The report showed that the CPI rose to 3.8% in April, which is the highest level seen in the US since May 2023. The high inflation rate could be why big-money entities have been pulling out of risk assets like Bitcoin.
It now remains to be seen how long the Net Institutional Buying will remain negative for. &#8220;Hard to get meaningful price improvement while this metric is in the red,&#8221; explained the analyst.
In some other news, there are currently 7.75 million tokens held at a net unrealized loss on the Bitcoin network, as on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has pointed out in an X post.
This level is lower than the highs seen after the February crash, but still notably elevated compared to last year&#8217;s figures. &#8220;This supply overhang is a structural feature of bear markets, typically resolved only as weaker hands capitulate,&#8221; said Glassnode.
BTC Price
Bitcoin has overall moved sideways over the last few days as its price is still floating around $77,300.

How The Attack Works
The scheme targets people searching for Uniswap, the decentralized exchange, by placing fraudulent ads above the legitimate site in Google&#8217;s sponsored results section.
Attackers either purchase ad space outright or break into existing advertiser accounts to run the fake listings, then outbid the real protocol to secure the top position.
What makes the ads hard to catch is how they are built. The phishing links use URLs that look authentic, while a hidden secondary element quietly loads the malicious code — invisible to Google&#8217;s automated review systems.
Victims who click through land on convincing replicas of the real Uniswap platform, with all their network activity routed silently through attacker-controlled servers.
Community alert:
A website impersonating Uniswap is draining funds from multiple wallets.
The scammers are currently holding at least ~$400,000.

On-chain analyst &#8220;b-block&#8221; raised the alarm on Monday after tracing stolen funds to addresses linked to the fake Uniswap site.
At the time of writing, two flagged wallets held a combined 146 ETH, valued at roughly $306,000. The total haul is estimated at at least $400,000.
A Year Of Losses
The nonprofit Security Alliance, known as SEAL, has been tracking the broader pattern. According to the group, there was a sharp rise in this type of phishing activity in March, with $1.27 million stolen between March 13 and 30 alone.
SEAL said it blocked more than 356 malicious ad links, describing that number as typical of weekly attacker activity sustained for more than a year — and said the pace has not slowed.
Stacy Muur, founder of Web3 marketing agency Green Dots, shared a screenshot of one such sponsored result and said scammers had used it to steal funds from users. She called out Google directly, saying the company has let the problem persist for years while users continue to lose money.
DeFiLlama, a crypto data platform, echoed the concern, calling fake Google ads a common and recurring source of phishing attacks targeting the crypto community.
Two scammers have already stolen ~$400,000 from users through a phishing @Uniswap ad on Google.
It’s insane that Google has ignored this issue for years while fake links keep getting pushed above real ones and users keep getting drained.
This is the first result that popped out… https://t.co/Ov488s9DIl pic.twitter.com/qStRGq8qTE

The Threat Spreads Beyond Google
The Uniswap case is part of a wider pattern hitting multiple platforms and audiences. Reports indicate that in early May, attackers were abusing both Google Ads and shared chat links from AI tools to push malware targeting Mac users in an active campaign.
Meanwhile, reports note that Facebook has seen a similar wave of fake paid ads, with scammers mimicking official Microsoft promotions and directing users to counterfeit Windows 11 download pages loaded with credential-stealing malware.
SEAL said it continues to receive reports from victims and that the campaign shows no sign of stopping.

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. From the ringing bells of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange to the historic prosperity of New York’s Wall Street, traditional finance (TradFi) has built a vast, rigid, and tightly regulated capital operation system over the past centuries.

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.
