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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6.04 Million Bitcoin Is Estimated To Be Exposed To Quantum Risk
In a new X article, Glassnode has talked about the part of the Bitcoin supply in circulation that&#8217;s exposed to the risk posed by Quantum Computing. &#8220;Quantum Computing&#8221; refers to an emerging class of computers that can, in theory, be powerful enough to break advanced cryptographic systems. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could be examples of such systems.
While Quantum Computing is something that has been &#8220;upcoming&#8221; for years now, the technology has made some advancements recently that has made many in the digital asset industry talk about its possible consequences for the sector.
For Bitcoin, the main threat from Quantum Computing involves the supply that&#8217;s sitting in vulnerable wallets. &#8220;The relevant threshold is whether the public key needed to spend a coin is already visible on-chain,&#8221; noted Glassnode.
Based on this criteria, the analytics firm has estimated 6.04 million tokens to be vulnerable to potential Quantum Computing attacks. In terms of the supply percentage, these coins make up for more than 30% of all BTC in existence today.
The supply at risk to the Quantum Computing threat can be further divided into two categories. As Glassnode explained:
The first is structural exposure: outputs whose script type reveals the public key by design. The second is operational exposure: coins that may have been protected initially, but where address reuse, partial spending, or custody behaviour has already made the public key visible while BTC remains tied to it.
Below is a chart that shows how the composition of the Bitcoin supply has changed in terms of these two categories over the years.
As is visible in the graph, a major part of the Bitcoin supply was structurally unsafe during the cryptocurrency&#8217;s early years. This is naturally due to the fact that early wallets weren&#8217;t as secure as those in use today.
As the years have gone by and investors have adopted better wallet standards, the structurally unsafe supply has shrunken to just 9.6%. A notable 20.6% of the supply, however, is still inside the operationally unsafe category. This part of the supply has actually seen some growth in recent years.
In pure numbers, the operationally unsafe supply includes about 4.12 million BTC right now, as the below chart shows.
Meanwhile, the structurally unsafe supply is made up of 1.92 million BTC, while the safe one includes 13.99 million BTC.
BTC Price
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $77,000, down more than 3% in the last seven days.

According to the research, 6.04 million Bitcoin, or 30.2% of the issued supply, is exposed under an “at-rest” model that looks for whether public-key material is already visible on-chain. The remaining 13.99 million BTC, representing 69.8% of the supply, is described as showing no public-key exposure at rest
Structural Vs. Operational Exposure
Glassnode breaks the concern into two distinct categories: structural exposure and operational exposure. Structural exposure covers outputs where the script type itself reveals the public key by design. Operational exposure is different. 
It refers to coins that may have been protected originally, but where address reuse, partial spending, or custody behavior has already made the public key visible—while the BTC remains tied to the same address, key, or script structure. 
In the study’s breakdown, structural exposure accounts for 1.92 million BTC, equal to 9.6% of issued supply. Operational exposure is larger, totaling 4.12 million BTC, or 20.6%. Within this operational bucket, exchange-related balances alone come to 1.63 million BTC, or 8.1% of all issued Bitcoin. 
The quantum risk behind the analysis is rooted in a scenario involving a sufficiently capable “Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer” (CRQC) running Shor’s algorithm. In principle, if an attacker knows a public key, Shor’s algorithm could be used to recover the corresponding private key. 
Glassnode’s at-rest framework matters here because the attacker would not need the owner to move the coins. If the public key is already visible on-chain, the coin is considered exposed; if the public key is not visible on-chain, the coin is not exposed under this specific model.
The Bigger Warning
Under Glassnode’s structural exposure definition, the output type itself reveals the relevant public-key information, independent of how carefully the owner manages addresses. 
The report points to early P2PK outputs—associated with Satoshi-era coins—and legacy bare multisig structures such as P2MS. It also includes modern Taproot (P2TR) outputs. 
While these script types come from different eras and were built for different purposes, they share the same property in Glassnode’s framework: the public key, or a public-key equivalent, is visible by default on-chain. That means these coins are targetable while they remain unspent.
Operational exposure is where the situation becomes more complex, and where the report places most of its emphasis. In these cases, the outputs are not necessarily vulnerable by design. 
Instead, they become exposed because the public key has already been revealed at some point during spending, yet Bitcoin remains associated with the same key or script arrangement. Glassnode describes this as an “address reuse problem.” 
4 Million Bitcoin Operationally Unsafe
Glassnode classifies 4.12 million Bitcoin, or 20.6% of issued supply, as operationally unsafe, and within that bucket, it highlights exchanges as a major labeled subset.
For exchange-related balances, the study estimates 1.66 million BTC, or 8.3% of total supply, falls into the operationally unsafe category. Glassnode notes that this represents approximately 40% of all operationally unsafe BTC. 
Among the largest exchanges, Glassnode reports that Coinbase labeled balances appear largely concentrated in non-exposed structures, with only 5% exposed balance. By contrast, Binance and Bitfinex show dramatically higher susceptible balances—85% and 100%, respectively.
For the countries covered in the report—the United States, the United Kingdom, and El Salvador—Glassnode indicates 0% quantum exposure to their Bitcoin holdings.

The breakdown raises an immediate question that a CryptoQuant report has now answered with uncomfortable precision: what was actually driving the rally that carried Bitcoin back toward $82,000 — and why is it now fading?
The report&#8217;s finding reframes the entire recovery in a single diagnosis. The recent Bitcoin advance appears to have been driven primarily by a derivatives-led short squeeze rather than by the kind of organic spot demand that characterizes sustainable bull market advances. Short sellers who had accumulated positions during the correction were forced to cover as the price moved against them — creating buying pressure that pushed Bitcoin higher without the underlying spot market activity that would typically accompany a genuine recovery.
That distinction carries a specific forward implication. Short squeeze-driven rallies are mechanical rather than fundamental — they run as long as there are shorts to force out, and they exhaust themselves when that supply of forced buyers is depleted. The CryptoQuant data suggests that depletion has arrived. Spot market demand has failed to generate the new inflows required to sustain the move independently, and futures demand has begun declining rapidly.
The result is a Bitcoin that reached the upper boundary of its resistance zone on borrowed momentum — and is now facing the consequences of that foundation proving insufficient.
The Historical Playbook Is Not Encouraging
The CryptoQuant report places the current demand deterioration in a historical framework that removes ambiguity about what typically follows. During previous bearish phases, whenever Bitcoin&#8217;s total demand — the combined reading across spot and futures markets — fell below zero, the asset either declined further or entered extended periods of sideways consolidation before finding a genuine directional catalyst. The current reading has crossed that threshold, placing Bitcoin in the same structural category as those prior episodes.
The macro environment adds pressure from outside the crypto market simultaneously. Rising sovereign bond yields across major economies are tightening the financial conditions that influence risk asset allocation — a dynamic that reduces the pool of capital available for speculative positioning and increases the attractiveness of fixed-income alternatives relative to assets like Bitcoin. That external pressure does not create the demand weakness, but it makes the recovery of demand considerably harder to achieve while it persists.
The selling pressure increasingly visible on US-based exchanges adds the domestic dimension. When American exchanges show elevated sell-side activity, it reflects the institutional and retail participants most sensitive to macro conditions, reducing their exposure — the cohort whose return would be most meaningful for a genuine demand recovery.
The report&#8217;s forward assessment is honest and conditional. A technical rebound remains possible given the scale of the recent short-term decline — oversold conditions create mechanical bounces regardless of underlying structure. But the downward trend pressure is likely to persist until total demand recovers meaningfully above zero. A bounce that occurs without that demand recovery is a bounce that faces the same structural headwinds that produced the current breakdown — and those headwinds do not resolve simply because the price temporarily moves higher.
Bitcoin Tests Critical Support As Recovery Momentum Weakens
Bitcoin is attempting to stabilize near the $77,000 level after losing momentum below the local highs around $82,000. The daily chart shows BTC pulling back directly into a critical support confluence formed by the 200-day moving average near $75,000 and the previous breakout zone between roughly $73,000 and $74,000. That area acted as resistance throughout March and early April before Bitcoin finally broke above it during the latest recovery phase. Now, the market is testing whether former resistance can successfully flip into support.
The rejection from the 200-day exponential moving average near $81,000 remains technically important. BTC briefly pushed into that region but failed to sustain upside momentum, confirming that sellers are still defending higher levels aggressively. At the same time, volume during the recent decline has not expanded dramatically compared to the capitulation phase seen in February, suggesting that the current move resembles a corrective retracement rather than a panic-driven breakdown.
Short-term structure remains fragile. Bitcoin continues trading below the declining 200-day EMA while attempting to hold above the 200-day SMA, leaving the market trapped between bearish momentum overhead and structural support underneath. If bulls lose the $73,000–$75,000 zone, the next major support sits near the $65,000 region highlighted by the February accumulation range.

Singapore&#8217;s central bank has ordered the crypto firm to produce a closure certificate confirming that all customer funds have been returned. The company told regulators it holds no outstanding customer assets.
A License Gone In 16 Months
The Monetary Authority of Singapore revoked Bsquared&#8217;s Major Payment Institution License on Wednesday after an on-site inspection turned up a range of problems.
Regulators found gaps in how the company managed risk and handled conflicts of interest. There were also failures to follow the central bank&#8217;s outsourcing rules.
Worse, officials said Bsquared had given false or misleading information to MAS on multiple occasions — starting from when it first applied for the license and continuing through the inspection itself. The firm, also known as BSQ, had held the license for just 16 months.
MAS Not Done With Bsquared
The central bank made clear that revoking the license is not the end of the matter. MAS said it is now reviewing the conduct of the company&#8217;s key officers, signaling that individuals within the firm could face separate consequences.
Singapore has licensed 37 entities to offer digital payment token services. Revocations are rare. The action against Bsquared puts other operators on notice that the regulator will move against firms that fall short — or mislead — authorities.
A Hub That Holds Its Standards
Singapore has built a reputation as one of Asia&#8217;s leading centers for crypto business. Coinbase and Ripple maintain regional offices there. Crypto.com has its global headquarters in the city-state.
That standing has come partly from how seriously regulators treat licensing requirements. Last year, MAS rejected an application from AmazingTech, the operator of Tokenize Xchange, and the Commercial Affairs Department later launched a probe into the company.
The Bsquared revocation fits a pattern: Singapore wants the business, but not at the cost of oversight.
Beyond Payments, Deeper Integration
The city-state has also been expanding its digital asset ambitions in other areas. Singapore Gulf Bank recently launched a service letting institutional clients mint and redeem stablecoins directly through their bank accounts via the Solana blockchain.

The decline is uncomfortable — but top analyst Darkfost has identified a signal in the derivatives data that reframes the current weakness in a way that experienced market participants will recognize immediately.
The Taker Buy Sell Ratio for Ethereum on Binance has just reached its most negative reading since September 2023 — a period that sat squarely within the previous bear market and preceded one of the most significant recoveries the asset has produced. The weekly ratio currently sits at 0.91, meaning aggressive sell orders are substantially outweighing aggressive buy orders in Binance&#8217;s futures order books. Sellers are not merely present — they are dominant, and the margin of their dominance has not been seen in nearly two years.
The metric Darkfost examines is one of the most direct available gauges of short-term market momentum and investor sentiment. When the ratio falls below 1.0, sellers control the immediate order flow. When it reaches the kind of extreme that September 2023 represented — and that the current reading is now matching — the market has entered a phase where bearish conviction has become the overwhelming consensus rather than simply the prevailing view.
Consensus trades in financial markets have a history. And that history is what makes Darkfost&#8217;s analysis worth reading carefully before drawing conclusions about what Ethereum&#8217;s current weakness actually means for what comes next.
When Everyone Is Short the Market Becomes Its Own Catalyst
Darkfost places the current sentiment extreme in the price context that gives it its forward implication. Ethereum has corrected approximately 9% over the past seven days and continues trading within the broad range that has defined its structure since the recovery from the cycle lows — roughly $1,500 on the downside and $4,000 on the upside. Within that range, the current price level does not represent a breakdown into new bear market territory. It represents a correction within an established structure, against which an unprecedented level of bearish positioning has now accumulated.
That combination — a correction within a range, not a breakdown beyond it — is what makes the sentiment extreme analytically interesting rather than simply alarming. When markets break decisively into new downside territory, extreme bearish positioning can reflect an accurate assessment of the trend. When markets correct within an established range while bearish positioning reaches a two-year extreme, the positioning itself becomes the risk.
Darkfost is careful about what this observation does and does not confirm. These situations are difficult to anticipate with precision, and sentiment extremes can persist longer than logic suggests before resolving. The mechanism, however, is straightforward: the more aggressively participants position on the short side, the larger the pool of forced buyers becomes if the price moves against them.
A market where everyone is short is a market where a recovery does not simply move the price higher — it forces exits, which accelerates the move, which forces more exits. The current 0.91 ratio does not guarantee that sequence. It does mean the conditions for it have rarely been more fully assembled than they are right now.
Ethereum Trades At Critical Support As Bearish Momentum Continues Building
Ethereum is trading near $2,130 after losing the momentum that briefly pushed price toward the $2,400 resistance region earlier this month. The daily chart shows ETH breaking below the 100-day moving average again while remaining firmly capped beneath the descending 200-day moving average near $2,600, reinforcing the broader bearish structure still controlling the market.
The recovery from February’s capitulation low near $1,800 initially looked constructive, with Ethereum reclaiming key support levels and printing a sequence of higher highs through April. However, bullish momentum faded significantly once ETH approached the heavy resistance cluster between $2,300 and $2,400. Multiple failed breakout attempts created a lower-high structure, signaling weakening buyer conviction before the latest decline accelerated.
Importantly, Ethereum is now testing the $2,100-$2,150 region, an area that previously acted as support during the April consolidation phase. Losing this zone decisively could expose ETH to another move toward the broader demand area near $1,900-$2,000, where buyers aggressively defended price after the February crash.
Volume remains relatively subdued compared to the volatility seen earlier this year, suggesting the current decline is being driven more by deteriorating sentiment and defensive positioning than by panic capitulation. Combined with the extremely bearish Binance taker buy-sell ratio, the chart reflects a market increasingly dominated by short-side conviction while still lacking strong spot demand capable of reversing momentum sustainably.

Governor Henry McMaster signed Senate Bill 163 on May 19, adding it to a growing stack of state-level digital asset laws that have quietly moved through Republican-controlled legislatures across the country.
A Near-Unanimous Vote That Signals Shifting Ground
The bill cleared the South Carolina Senate 38-1, a margin that says more than the law itself. Filed in January 2025, it spent 17 months working through the legislative process — passing the Senate in May of that year, getting reconciled with House amendments in April 2026, and landing on the governor&#8217;s desk this month.
Senators Daniel Verdin and Matthew Leber sponsored the bill. It now adds a new Chapter 47 to Title 34 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, laying out one of the more detailed state-level crypto frameworks in the country.
The law prohibits state government agencies from accepting or requiring payments in a central bank digital currency. It also bars those agencies from joining any Federal Reserve CBDC pilot or testing program.
But the definition matters: the bill describes a CBDC as a digital currency issued directly by the US Federal Reserve or a federal agency. Privately issued stablecoins backed by legal tender or government treasuries — such as USDC — fall outside that definition and remain permitted under state law.
What The Law Actually Covers
Beyond the CBDC ban, S.163 covers a wide range of crypto activity. Individuals and businesses are protected from being blocked from accepting digital assets as payment for legal goods and services.
Self-hosted and hardware wallets are formally recognized, allowing users to hold their own assets without government interference. State and local governments are also barred from taxing digital asset payments at higher rates than other payment types.
The law&#8217;s definition of digital assets is broad, covering cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, fungible tokens, non-fungible tokens, and other digital-only assets that carry economic, proprietary, or access rights.
Crypto mining operations also get legal cover. Local governments cannot impose unfair zoning rules, excessive noise restrictions, or regulations that single out mining businesses.
Node operations, blockchain software development, staking services, and mining activities are exempt from money transmitter license requirements under certain conditions.
Staking-as-a-service and mining-as-a-service providers will not automatically be classified as securities issuers under state law.
At the same time, the South Carolina Attorney General retains authority to prosecute fraud involving anyone who falsely claims to offer those services — a consumer protection measure built directly into the law.

For Ripple, which has been seeking a Fed master account tied to its RLUSD stablecoin strategy, the order moves a long-running industry fight closer to the center of Washington’s financial policy agenda.
The May 19 order, titled “Integrating Financial Technology Innovation into Regulatory Frameworks,” frames the issue as one of competition and modernization. “The Federal Government must update regulations to allow integration of digital assets and innovative technology into traditional financial services and payment systems. The Federal Government must also remove overly burdensome and fragmented regulations and supervisory practices that form barriers to entry and primarily benefit incumbent financial services firms,” the order says.
The most important section for crypto firms is the part on Federal Reserve services. The order asks the Fed to evaluate the legal, regulatory and policy framework for access to Reserve Bank payment accounts and payment services by uninsured depository institutions and non-bank financial companies, including those engaged in digital assets. The Fed is requested to submit findings and recommendations within 120 days, including whether existing law allows expanded access and whether regional Reserve Banks can act independently when granting or denying applications.
What This Means For Ripple
For Ripple, the timing is notable. In July 2025, CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the company had applied for a US national bank charter, while also seeking a Fed master account that would let it access Federal Reserve payment infrastructure and hold RLUSD reserves directly with the central bank. Ripple’s charter application was confirmed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, while the master account bid was positioned as part of the company’s broader stablecoin and payments strategy.
Ripple’s application is not occurring in isolation. Kraken Financial, the exchange’s Wyoming-chartered banking arm, announced in March that it had received a Federal Reserve master account, becoming the first digital asset bank in the US to gain direct access to the Fed’s payment infrastructure. Kraken said the approval followed more than five years of regulatory engagement and would allow direct connectivity to Fedwire without relying on intermediary banks.
That approval has become the template and warning sign for the rest of the sector. Kraken’s account is limited-purpose and initially granted for one year, giving it access to Fedwire and limited overnight balances, but not interest on reserves, emergency Fed lending, FedNow or ACH. Other firms seeking similar access include Ripple, Anchorage Digital and Wise.
Notably, the issue has already been tested in court. Custodia Bank, another Wyoming crypto-focused institution, applied for a master account in October 2020, sued the Fed in 2022 over delays, and saw its application denied in January 2023. In 2025 and 2026, appeals court decisions reinforced the view that Reserve Banks retain discretion to reject master account requests, a legal backdrop Trump’s order now explicitly asks the Fed to examine.
Ripple has also shown interest in a more limited route. In November, Ripple chief legal officer Stu Alderoty said the Fed’s “skinny” account concept was attractive despite restrictions, because it could still improve RLUSD reserve redeemability without granting the full benefits of a traditional master account.
The Fed had already opened that door before Trump’s order. In December, it requested public input on a special-purpose “payment account” for eligible institutions focused on payments innovation. The prototype would be distinct from a master account, would not pay interest, would not provide Fed credit, and would be subject to balance caps.
Ripple’s stablecoin push gives the master account question added weight. The company said in December that the OCC had conditionally approved Ripple National Trust Bank, a federally supervised trust bank that would manage RLUSD reserves under both NYDFS and OCC oversight.
Overall, Trump’s order does not grant Ripple a master account. It does, however, force the policy question into a formal timeline: whether firms building crypto payment and stablecoin infrastructure should remain dependent on bank intermediaries, or gain direct, risk-limited access to the sovereign rails beneath dollar settlement.
At press time, XRP traded at $1.3647.

He shared several truths about Bitcoin, noting that the market is currently at the point where institutional investors, firms, and almost everyone are announcing a fresh bull cycle. He said that even some investors suggest the bear market, or crypto winter, has ended. 
TheModernInvestor attributed this surge in optimism to the CLARITY bill, which just concluded a voting session by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. He also said the widespread positive sentiment is likely due to hopes of an interest rate cut, with investors in both the crypto and stock markets strongly believing that asset prices will continue going up. 
Furthermore, TheModernInvestor noted that prominent figures in the crypto market, like Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, have been trending online for weeks after announcing the start of a new bull market. According to the analyst, Wood said that ARKInvest’s research has shown that not only is the market going back up, but Bitcoin could reach a valuation of about $1 million per coin in the next few years. 
TheModernInvestor also noted that asset management firm Fidelity and Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury, had previously made similar predictions. Given how bullish everyone in the market is, including top institutional players, the analyst highlighted that it has become very difficult for market watchers not to get excited and follow the trend.  
In addition, TheModernInvestor explained that the crypto market tends to revolve around the movements of institutional players. He said that in 2017, when Bitcoin was seen as just a digital asset with no significant valuation, everyone dismissed it and even laughed at people who invested in it. However, once Larry Fink, the CEO and Chairman of BlackRock, spoke about Bitcoin, it became a thing of interest, with many investors flooding the market. 
The analyst also mentioned a truth about the recent quantum computing trend that has been rampant in the crypto market. He said that many top blockchains, including Ethereum, XRP, and Cardano, have announced plans to make their networks more quantum-ready to improve security. 
However, TheModernInvestor noted an oddity in the narrative. He said that many BTC developers are also trying to make Bitcoin’s network quantum-secure, and one way they intend to do that is by freezing older wallets, which they say makes the blockchain less secure.
This solution to rising quantum threats has caused an uproar in the crypto space, as these developers appear to be targeting the wallet of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, which currently holds roughly 1 million BTC,  worth billions of dollars. Many Bitcoin supporters, including Alex Thorn, the Head of Firmwide Research at Galaxy Digital, have warned that Nakamoto’s original wallet holdings must remain strictly untouched. Thorn said Nakamoto’s coins and BTC’s core property rights must be preserved even if Bitcoin’s price were to crash 50% and altcoins by 90%. 
Analyst Says This Cycle Will Be The Most Difficult
In his video, TheModernInvestor further warned that this could be one of the most difficult cryptocurrency cycles for retail investors who are not yet in the market. He noted that even those already holding crypto assets may be surprised by what plays out as the cycle develops through 2026.
With price expectations continuing to rise across the market, TheModernInvestor is confident that this decade will go down as one of the most remarkable periods for investing the world has ever seen.

Crypto To Move Fentanyl Proceeds
Treasury noted that the Sinaloa Cartel is among the oldest and most powerful drug trafficking groups in Mexico. The United States has identified the organization as a significant foreign narcotics trafficker since April 15, 2009. 
According to the agency, the cartel’s operations include illicit fentanyl sales, which generate proceeds that must then be moved, cleaned, and ultimately transmitted back into the cartel’s network.
A central figure in the Treasury’s announcement is Armando de Jesus Ojeda Aviles, known as Ojeda Aviles, who the US describes as the leader of a crypto laundering network tied to the cartel’s drug trafficking operations. 
Treasury alleges that Ojeda Aviles coordinates the collection of large amounts of cash in the United States—cash that Treasury links to fentanyl and other illicit drug sales. 
From there, the Treasury says he facilitates the conversion of that bulk cash into cryptocurrency. The agency’s concern is that the resulting digital-asset funds are then transferred for the cartel’s use in Mexico.
Ethereum Addresses Added In Sanctions
Treasury also identified Jesus Alonso Aispuro Felix, described as a close associate and the network’s chief money broker. Treasury’s release says Aispuro Felix is responsible for brokering large transfers of drug proceeds using crypto addresses. 
Another associate highlighted in the release is Rodrigo Alarcon Palomares, who the Treasury alleges facilitated money pickups in the United States on behalf of the network. 
The agency further points to a legal development involving Alarcon Palomares: in April 2024, a federal grand jury in the US District Court for the District of Colorado returned an indictment against him on three counts of laundering drug proceeds through cryptocurrency.
As part of the sanctions action, Treasury said the list of additions includes six Ethereum network addresses. The agency added that five of those addresses are connected to Ojeda Aviles.

According to one crypto analyst, it may be doing so again, and if history holds, the next move is not upward.
Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader has outlined a six-step framework on X that places BTC&#8217;s current price action directly onto the structure of the 2021 market cycle. Three steps have already been completed. The fourth, he says, is next, and it involves another Bitcoin price crash.
Bitcoin Is Now At The Most Important Stage Of The Playbook
Merlijn’s weekly candlestick timeframe chart divides Bitcoin’s previous cycle into six phases: distribution, small consolidation, redistribution, accumulation, re-accumulation, and then the final rally. In the 2021 section of the chart, BTC first formed a distribution range near the cycle top before entering a smaller consolidation, then a redistribution phase, and finally a deeper accumulation zone after the major bear market breakdown.
The analyst is of the notion that the same structure is now playing out again. Distribution, he said, has already occurred. Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $126,060 in October 2025 before turning lower. Since that peak, Bitcoin&#8217;s price has been declining in bear market price action.
The small consolidation phase that followed the distribution top has also been completed, and Bitcoin’s price action since late January is all in the redistribution phase. This caveat is why BTC is currently in the most important part of the technical setup. The next projection based on the setup is not another immediate rally phase, but a crash to an accumulation range much lower than current prices.
The $78,000 Line That Changes Everything
Merlijn placed that possible accumulation zone between $45,000 and $59,000. This would imply that Bitcoin still has one major downside leg left if the 2021-style structure continues to play out. 
However, Merlijn&#8217;s analysis carries an interesting condition. If BTC holds $78,000, Step 4 is skipped entirely, and the cycle advances directly to re-accumulation and eventually the major run. If $78,000 breaks, the $45,000 to $59,000 accumulation range becomes the next destination before any real bounce. Therefore, the strongest version of the bullish case would be Bitcoin closing multiple weeks above $78,000 and forcing the Bitcoin price to skip the deeper accumulation phase. 
That level is now under direct pressure. BTC broke below the $77,000 price level on May 18, but it is now back to trading around $77,500 at the time of writing. This means a drop to $59,000 would represent a decline of about 23.8%, while a fall to $45,000 would mark a deeper correction of 42% from the current price.

The company behind the world&#8217;s largest stablecoin filed seven trademark applications with the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service on May 19, covering not just its tokens but its company name, official logo, and gold-backed asset Tether Gold, known as XAUT.
A Shift In Strategy
That&#8217;s a departure from how Tether has approached South Korea before. Earlier filings were limited to stablecoin product names. Covering the broader brand signals something bigger — a possible push toward establishing an actual business presence in the country, not just protecting a label.
Timing is everything here. South Korea is in the middle of drafting new rules under the second phase of its Digital Asset Basic Act.
Tether is quietly trademarking itself in South Korea before the rules land@tether filed seven trademarks in South Korea, covering its name, logo, and Tether Gold (XAUT), per Seoul Economic Daily citing the Korean IP office&#8217;s KIPRIS database.
It&#8217;s a strategy shift. Tether&#8217;s… pic.twitter.com/WASjdNc2AF
— BSCN (@BSCNews) May 19, 2026
One proposal under discussion would require foreign stablecoin companies to set up a local branch before they can legally offer their tokens to South Korean users.
Tether&#8217;s trademark filings, some observers say, look like early preparation for that kind of requirement.
South Korea is not a small market. The country has one of the most active retail crypto trading populations in the world, which makes it a place no major stablecoin issuer can afford to ignore.
Circle Already Has A Head Start
Tether is not alone in moving on South Korea. Circle, the company behind USDC, filed 11 local trademarks last year and has already seen results — USDC&#8217;s market share in the country grew by 10%.
Tether now has seven active trademarks in South Korea, a number that has been growing as competition between the two stablecoin giants heats up.
Earlier this year, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire traveled to South Korea and held meetings with major banks and crypto exchanges, exploring possible partnerships.
That kind of ground-level relationship building puts Circle ahead in terms of local ties, at least for now.
Payments, Not Just Trading
The trademark filings also fit into a wider ambition Tether has for South Korea. The country runs a significant export economy, and businesses there regularly move money across borders.
Tether sees that as an opening. Using blockchain-based payments instead of traditional bank transfers through systems like SWIFT could offer faster, cheaper transactions for South Korean exporters.
That vision — stablecoins as a real payment tool, not just a trading instrument — reflects where the bigger competition between Tether and Circle may eventually play out, well beyond crypto exchanges and into mainstream finance.

Demand Patterns For Bitcoin Are Undergoing A Change
Bitcoin continues to struggle with heightened bearish pressure, and a subtle but crucial shift is currently emerging in the market. Currently, BTC’s downside price action has begun to reflect changes in its demand dynamics.
In an analysis of the Bitcoin Spot and Perpetual Futures Demand Growth, Julio Moreno has shared that BTC’s total demand entered into a contraction phase on Monday, May 18. This shift comes after a steady upside since early March this year, driven by speculative demand. 
With fading buying pressure and cooling speculative activity colliding, this development triggered concerns about whether the market is either getting ready for a wider trend reversal or is about to enter a consolidation phase. Moreno highlighted that speculative demand growth, which is represented by the blue bars on the chart, reached its highest level as prices approached the $80,000 mark. However, this activity has since slowed down significantly. 
Meanwhile, spot demand, indicated as the grey bars on the chart, is contracting slightly faster than the speed of the cooling speculative demand. As demand patterns continue to adjust, this could play a role in shaping BTC’s next major move in either direction.
BTC Held At Loss Matching Past Levels
During this weakening momentum, another development that is drawing attention is the number of Bitcoins held at a loss. According to Darkfost, another CryptoQuant author, the supply of BTC held at a loss by long-term holders is not 5.7 million BTC, matching levels previously seen at the peak of past bear markets. 
In 2015, it was 5.96 million BTC, in 2019, it was 5.8 million BTC, while in 2022, it was 6.8 million BTC. It is worth noting that the most severe discomfort was felt by LTHs during the last cycle. Nonetheless, the recent 52% decline in Bitcoin is still significantly lower than what was observed in earlier bear markets.
Darkfost stated that this suggests a very large number of BTC was exchanged between $80,000 and $126,000, and the losses are probably present among the youngest cohort of LTHs. What’s important here is that the trend is not completely confirmed yet, but a slight distortion caused by the movement of 800,000 BTC from Coinbase on November 21 and 22 was observed.
Furthermore, a spike of more than 740,000 BTC can clearly be seen around April 21 and 22, while on Bitbo, the transaction to long-term holders occurs after 155 days. By adjusting the figure for this movement, the value could still be around 4.93 million BTC, which remains historically significant.
In the following 3 to 4 days, Darkfost noted that a number of LTH-related measures on platforms that use a 6-month threshold may also begin to move quickly. At that point, these BTC, which moved around $84,500, will officially shift from STH to LTH supply.

‘Breadcrumbs’ In Crypto
A FOX Business report released Wednesday points to new figures from a threat-detection data firm estimating that Tehran controls roughly $7.7 billion in digital assets. 
Officials and analysts behind the crackdown argue that, despite claims by foreign adversaries that cryptocurrencies can help them evade sanctions, the technology can still leave clear trails that investigators can follow.
Chris Perkins, the CEO of 250 Digital Asset Management, is quoted in the report describing why crypto can be useful for law enforcement to monitor. 
He said investigators repeatedly found that adversaries using digital assets inadvertently create “breadcrumbs,” making transactions easier to track than some might expect. 
Iran Advances Hormuz Insurance Using Bitcoin
The report also suggests the US could apply even more pressure by leveraging threats to the on-ramps that make crypto movement easier. 
Industry insiders believe Washington may escalate its stance by warning it could cut off crypto exchanges from the American banking system, a move that would raise operational risks for firms handling transactions tied to sanctioned networks.
At the same time, the US crackdown comes alongside reports that Iran has moved forward with a new digital insurance platform for cargo ships operating through the Strait of Hormuz. 
As Bitcoinist reported earlier this week, payments tied to the insurance are being settled entirely in Bitcoin (BTC), linking Iran’s maritime finance strategy directly to the cryptocurrency ecosystem that US officials are targeting.
The Iranian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance had been working on the strait-related insurance plan. The initiative is designed to make management of the strait possible through insurance products, including maritime insurance policies and financial responsibility certificates. 
The scheme could allegedly produce more than $10 billion in revenue for Iran, potentially creating an additional stream of funding that supporters of the plan believe could be harder for international enforcement to interrupt.

According to new reports from on-chain analytics platform Santiment, Whales are currently holding over 450 billion coins, setting a record 8-year high. With more tokens being swallowed up by this group of investors, speculation about a fresh bull run is emerging, one that could propel the price from its current downtrend to new highs.
XRP Whales Now Control Over 68% Of Token’s Supply
On May 18, Crypto analyst Zach Humphries posted on X that large holders now control a whopping 68.5% of XRP’s total circulating supply. Santiment’s data has also shown that the whales in question own wallets with at least 10 million XRP. 
Combined together, these whales own approximately 45.83 billion tokens. Humphries said this substantial figure matches levels the market has not seen since May 2018, about four months after the altcoin recorded its all-time high of $3.84. 
Because of this level of concentrated control, Humphries stated that the sell side of XRP could get extremely thin if this accumulation trend continues at such an aggressive pace. The analyst revealed that smart money is now using the current sideways consolidation to absorb supply directly from crypto exchanges. 
To put this into perspective, the altcoin has been in a steep downtrend for months, with the price currently trading in the $1.3 to $1.4 range. The cryptocurrency has failed to recover despite the recent positive developments surrounding Ripple. While prices remain below 2025 highs, large-scale investors appear to be taking advantage of market volatility and declining to buy coins at cheap levels.
Against this backdrop, Humphries has suggested that a clean break above XRP’s current range could completely transform its macro chart. He implied that this recent trend could be the final accumulation phase before a real price breakout occurs, potentially sending it to new highs. Meanwhile, Santiment has said that the recent accumulation could see the token jumping back toward $1.5. 
Analyst Projects Next Big Move Above $1.8
In a recent price analysis, market expert Ali Martinez stated that XRP is gearing up for a major price move. The analyst said that he has been closely watching the tightest Bollinger Band squeeze on XRP’s 3-day chart for over a year now. He noted that at the time, volatility had compressed firmly, signaling that a violent price rally could be imminent. 
Martinez also described the altcoin’s current compression zone as a “no-trade zone,” suggesting that the market has to move first before any trades are confirmed. With this in mind, the analyst said he will remain patient while watching for a clean 3-day candlestick close outside the $ 1.29 to $ 1.50 range. He noted that if this close happens, it could confirm the next major trend direction.  
According to the analyst, a close above $1.50 could spark a major price explosion above $1.8, representing a more than 30% rally from current levels. On the flip side, if XRP were to close below $1.29, Martinez predicts this could invalidate the cryptocurrency’s bullish structure and trigger a steep correction back toward the $1 psychological support level.

His wallet, tied to a project called Kelly Claude AI assistant, was drained of Ether — though the hacker left his memecoin holdings untouched. Allred said there was no sign anyone else had logged into his Bankr account, suggesting the attacker got to the private keys through other means.
How The Attack Unfolded
Bankr is a crypto trading tool that lets users send plain-language instructions — like &#8220;swap this token&#8221; or &#8220;transfer funds&#8221; — to an AI that carries out the trades.
The platform also creates a crypto wallet automatically for every X account that interacts with its bot.
That feature had already drawn attention earlier this year, when someone reportedly tricked Grok into telling Bankr to launch a token, then pulled funds from it into a wallet they controlled.
Tuesday&#8217;s incident appears to follow a similar pattern. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security firm SlowMist, said the breach was likely a social engineering scheme aimed at the AI agent.
According to Xian, the attacker exploited the trust connection between Grok and Bankrbot to push through unauthorized transaction approvals.
He identified three wallet addresses linked to the attacker that together held $440,000 in crypto.
Xian also pointed to prompt injection as part of the method — a technique where malicious instructions are fed to an AI to manipulate its behavior.
update: we&#8217;ve identified an attacker was able to access 14 bankr wallets.
we&#8217;ve temporarily locked things down while we work through the details. we will be reimbursing any and all lost funds.
will provide more updates as we have them. https://t.co/gVMLexiglT
— Bankr (@bankrbot) May 19, 2026
Bankr Pledges Full Reimbursement
Bankr confirmed the breach in a post on X, saying it had identified an attacker who accessed 14 wallets. The platform said it shut down all transaction activity — swaps, transfers, and token deployments — while the investigation continues. It also pledged to cover all losses.
Users were warned not to sign any transactions for now. For those with wallets already hit, Bankr told them to stop using the affected accounts entirely, set up a new wallet with a fresh seed phrase on a clean device, and transfer any remaining tokens or NFTs out immediately.
If assets can&#8217;t be moved, revoking existing approvals was advised. Bankr also flagged the possibility of malware, urging users to check their computers and phones for suspicious software or browser extensions.
What Users Lost
Some users reported losing as much as $150,000 from a single wallet. The exact total across all 14 breached wallets has not been confirmed.
The attack adds to a rough stretch for the crypto space. Bad actors stole more than $168 million in the first quarter of the year.
April brought two of the biggest hits so far — a $280 million exploit of Drift Protocol and a $292 million breach of Kelp.
Just a day before the Bankr incident, the Ethereum bridge of Verus Protocol was also reportedly hit.

The release was flagged by TFTC (@TFTC21) on X on May 19, describing Nostr VPN as a fundamental departure from the architecture that has defined commercial VPN services for decades. Malmi — known in Bitcoin&#8217;s early history as Sirius, the developer who received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi and later maintained bitcoin.org — built Nostr VPN using the Nostr protocol as its signaling and coordination layer, per the TFTC post and the project&#8217;s open-source repository on git.iris.to.
The Problem With Every VPN You&#8217;ve Ever Used
The structural flaw at the center of commercial VPN services is straightforward. When a user connects to NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, or any equivalent service, all internet traffic routes through servers owned and operated by that company. The user trusts the provider not to log, analyze, sell, or hand over that traffic to third parties — including law enforcement.
That trust has been violated repeatedly across the industry. Multiple VPN providers marketed as no-log services have subsequently been shown to maintain logs when compelled by legal process, per documented cases cited in the TFTC post.
The promise of privacy in a conventional VPN is only as strong as the company behind it — a company with employees, legal addresses, server infrastructure, and obligations to comply with the jurisdictions they operate in.
What Nostr VPN Does Differently
Nostr VPN eliminates the central server entirely. The architecture operates as a peer-to-peer mesh network — devices connect directly to each other rather than routing through a corporate intermediary. The Nostr protocol handles signaling between nodes using public-key cryptography, the same cryptographic framework that secures Bitcoin transactions, per the project&#8217;s repository. Each user&#8217;s identity on the network is a cryptographic key pair, not an account or email address tied to a real-world identity.
The exit node model is where the practical privacy advantage becomes concrete. A user designates one of their own devices — a home server, a rented VPS from a provider like Hetzner, or any machine they control — as the exit point for their internet traffic. Websites and services see only the IP address of that exit node, not the device actually being used. The critical distinction from a commercial VPN is that the user is the operator. There is no third party between the user and the exit node who could be compelled to produce logs, because no third party holds them, per the project documentation cited in the TFTC post.
Why A Bitcoin Developer Built This
Malmi&#8217;s involvement is not coincidental. The philosophy underlying Nostr VPN maps directly to the same sovereignty argument that animated Bitcoin&#8217;s original design — the elimination of trusted intermediaries from a system where that trust represents both a single point of failure and a single point of control. Bitcoin removed trusted third parties from money. Nostr VPN applies the same logic to internet privacy infrastructure.
The Nostr protocol itself was built by and for the Bitcoin community from its earliest days, using the same public-key cryptographic primitives and attracting developers who share a specific set of convictions about censorship resistance, self-custody, and the dangers of centralized infrastructure that can be pressured, subpoenaed, or shut down.
The release arrives as governments across multiple jurisdictions — including the United Kingdom, per recent legislative developments — move to tighten controls over VPN usage and expand surveillance capabilities. For the nascent sector&#8217;s community of privacy-focused users, developers, and holders for whom financial privacy and internet privacy are inseparable concerns, Nostr VPN represents a meaningful step toward infrastructure that cannot be compelled to betray its users — because there is no operator left to compel.

3 Reasons Nazarov Is Bullish On Chainlink
In a lengthy post on X, Nazarov argued that the market is moving toward infrastructure providers that can meet higher reliability standards across DeFi and TradFi. He said this shift is already benefiting Chainlink because the network was “built with security and reliability in mind from the start,” contrasting Chainlink’s 16-node model with “1 of 1 or 2 of 2” systems, which he said can often functionally resemble a single point of failure.
“Our industry has started caring much more about the security and reliability of the infrastructure, standards and oracles/dependencies that it is built on top of,” Nazarov wrote. “This shift in focus towards security is already massively benefiting Chainlink because it is built with security and reliability in mind from the start e.g. 16 nodes vs 1 of 1 or 2 of 2.” He added that this focus “makes a better system for everyone in the DeFi/TradFi industry to transact with less risk.”
Nazarov said the same dynamic is now playing out in cross-chain interoperability, where he pointed to large users migrating to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol after deeper security reviews of bridging providers. He cited Kraken’s stated rationale for choosing CCIP, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, secure-by-default architecture, 16 independent nodes and native rate limits.
He also referred to Lido’s cross-chain security review, which said Chainlink CCIP provides decentralization, native safeguards and issuer control as protocol-level guarantees, including protections that insulate wstETH from several attack vectors associated with the Kelp and LayerZero exploit. Lombard Finance, according to Nazarov’s cited example, described CCIP as an “enterprise-grade framework to secure high-value assets.”
“With over $4Billion migrated in just a few weeks and more on the way, I am clearly seeing the industry&#8217;s clear preference for security and reliability being a key trend leading to accelerated adoption of Chainlink and CCIP,” Nazarov wrote.
The second trend, Nazarov said, is Chainlink’s ability to keep building through down markets. He framed quieter periods as a productive environment for teams with existing product-market fit, saying less market noise gives builders more room to develop infrastructure for future demand.
“Chainlink has always continued to build and added many of its best features during down markets, when there is less noise to distract top teams from building,” he wrote. “Because Chainlink already has clear product market fit, being able to focus on building the future is a powerful accelerant for future progress and is actually what I and many of the people building Chainlink are here for.”
Nazarov highlighted both use-case-specific features, such as collateral management, and reusable primitives, including verifiable confidential compute in Chainlink Runtime Environment, or CRE. He said those components are being built, refined and launched with major users.
The third trend is the expansion of RWA, TradFi tokenization and digital assets as a market that Nazarov said has “decoupled from crypto prices as a determining factor of its success.” In his view, that creates a more durable opportunity for infrastructure platforms that can combine data, interoperability, identity and compliance, and verifiable off-chain orchestration into end-to-end systems.
He pointed to several recent capital markets examples, including DTCC using CRE and Chainlink Data for production plans around 24/7 collateral management, SGX using DataLink, and Chainlink backend integrations involving State Street and Fidelity International. Nazarov said these are only a few examples of broader work across payments, tokenized equities and tokenized funds.
The broader thesis is that DeFi applications and TradFi institutions may increasingly converge through shared on-chain standards, interoperability connections and oracle infrastructure. Nazarov closed by framing that convergence as the next major phase for Chainlink, saying the goal is not only to solve isolated market problems, but to help DeFi and TradFi “merge into the new global financial system.”
At press time, LINK traded at $9.595.

The withdrawal request, dated May 19, 2026, was addressed to the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance and its Office of Crypto Assets. In the filing, the company requested “the immediate withdrawal” of its Form S-1 registration statement, which had originally been filed on June 5, 2025, under File No. 333-287789. The company said the registration statement had not been declared effective and confirmed that “no securities have been sold” under it.
“The Company has determined to withdraw the Registration Statement and not to pursue the public offering at this time,” the filing stated. “The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission and the Company confirms that no securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. Therefore, withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors as contemplated by Rule 477(a).”
The filing closes a nearly year-long regulatory process that began shortly after NYSE Arca submitted a Form 19b-4 to list the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF on June 3, 2025. That exchange filing described the proposed product as a vehicle designed to reflect Bitcoin’s performance while reducing the “complexities and operational burdens” of direct BTC ownership. Reuters reported at the time that US President Donald Trump was the majority owner of Trump Media &amp; Technology Group, which operates Truth Social.
The ETF’s S-1 described Truth Social Bitcoin ETF, B.T. as a Nevada business trust whose assets would consist primarily of Bitcoin held by a custodian. Yorkville America Digital, LLC was named as sponsor, while Foris DAX Trust Company, LLC, a Crypto.com affiliate, was listed as Bitcoin custodian in the initial registration statement. The trust was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and was structured as a Securities Act of 1933 product, the same broad framework used by spot Bitcoin ETPs rather than traditional ’40 Act ETFs.
Trump Media later amended the filing in August 2025, saying Crypto.com would act as the ETF’s exclusive Bitcoin custodian, prime execution agent and liquidity provider. The company said at the time that the launch remained subject to both effectiveness of the S-1 and SEC approval of the related 19b-4 filing, with shares expected to list on NYSE Arca if approved.
Why Was The Bitcoin ETF Withdrawn?
Yorkville America framed the withdrawal as a strategic pivot rather than a retreat from ETFs. In a May 19 press release, the firm said it had “proactively withdrawn its registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933” for certain planned ETF strategies and would instead focus product development under the ’40 Act framework.
“After careful evaluation, the ’40 Act structure allows us to bring more differentiated investment strategies to our investors that are not possible under the ’33 Act framework,” Yorkville America President Steve Neamtz said. “Our focus has always been on delivering the right strategies through the right structures. This is a forward-looking decision that reflects our commitment to delivering the best possible investment products to our growing base of America First investors. Yorkville America is not stepping back – we are stepping forward with a stronger product platform.”
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart was unconvinced by that explanation. Sharing a screenshot of the withdrawal on X, he wrote that the reasoning “doesn’t make a ton of sense,” noting that the difference between a ’33 Act exchange-traded product and a ’40 Act ETF was already well understood in the market. Seyffart said he suspected the decision had more to do with the “competitive landscape for spot bitcoin ETFs,” especially with Morgan Stanley’s MSBT entering at 14 basis points.
He added: &#8220;They do seem to planning to launch more flexible crypto related ETF strategies in the 40 act wrapper which makes sense. I mean do we really need a 14th spot bitcoin ETF? But something that can be more differentiated makes sense.&#8221;
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas agreed via X: &#8220;My guess: Yorkville guy told Truth ppl after MSBT that they either gotta come in below 14bp fee or you might as well forget it, bc no one will buy it, and it could be embarrassing. They aren’t used to Terrordome life so prob said “no way are we charging so little”
Could be wrong but that’s my theory for now.&#8221;
That fee pressure is material. Morgan Stanley’s proposed spot Bitcoin fund was priced at 14 basis points, below products charging closer to 15 to 25 basis points, including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust at 25 basis points.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,274.

The amendment, scheduled to take effect on June 1, 2026, will exclude qualified foreign trust beneficiary rights-based stablecoins from classification as “securities” under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA), allowing them to be handled by domestic operators registered as electronic payment instrument operators.
To achieve this, the Cabinet Office Ordinance established four requirements, including the legal status of stablecoin issuers, the management of underlying assets, measures to prevent criminal use, and currency denomination consistency.
Under the new rules, issuers must be registered or licensed under foreign laws deemed equivalent to Japan’s Payment Services Act or Banking Act and supervised by an authority that can share oversight information with the FSA commissioner upon request. The FSA will verify each issuer’s supervisory cooperation framework during its suitability review, the report noted.
Foreign stablecoin issuers must also manage reserve assets under applicable foreign laws and submit to audits by local professionals equivalent to certified public accountants or audit firms.
In addition, they must maintain systems to detect and respond to criminal misuse, including mechanisms to suspend transactions, and ensure the trust property and reserve assets are denominated in the same currency.
Notably, authorities will assess on a case-by-case basis whether a stablecoin can reliably be redeemed at its issue price to the same degree as Japanese electronic payment instruments. As a result, stablecoins used overseas may be treated differently in Japan depending on their reserve composition and audit arrangements.
Japan Expands Crypto Regulations
Over the past few years, Japanese authorities have been working to restructure the treatment of crypto assets in the country. The latest changes to the Cabinet Order Ordinance have expanded Japan’s legal framework for stablecoins, established through the 2022 amendment to the Payment Services Act.
The government recently amended the FIEA to classify crypto assets as financial instruments and backed a tax reform plan to introduce a separate system for different transactions and a flat 20% tax on crypto income.
Last month, the FSA, alongside the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the National Police Agency, and the Ministry of Finance, issued joint guidance outlining compliance requirements for the use of crypto in real estate deals.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the regulators requested that real estate firms conducting crypto transactions strictly enforce Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and source-of-funds verifications.
The joint guidance outlined reporting obligations for cross-border payments, unlicensed transactions, or suspicious fund flows. Additionally, it warned firms that activities involving the exchange of crypto assets for fiat currency or brokerage services on behalf of clients may constitute crypto asset exchange operations, which carry the risk of legal violations.

Median SOPR In The Altcoin Sector Has Been Stuck Below 1
In a new post on X, Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the median SOPR for the altcoin market. The &#8220;SOPR,&#8221; which stands for Spent Output Profit Ratio, here refers to a popular on-chain indicator that tells us whether traders on a given network are transferring their coins at a net profit or loss.
When the value of the metric is greater than 1, it means profit-taking is the dominant mode of transactions. On the other hand, the indicator being under this threshold suggests investors are, on average, realizing a net loss with their selling. Naturally, the SOPR being exactly equal to 1 suggests the profits being realized on the network are exactly canceling out the losses. In other words, the holders as a whole can be considered to be just breaking even on their moves.
Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the median SOPR for the top 500 assets in the cryptocurrency sector by market cap over the last couple of years:
As displayed in the above graph, the median SOPR of the top 500 digital assets rose to a value of 1 during the recent recovery surge in the sector. This suggests that altcoin investors as a whole rushed to use this opportunity to exit at their break-even level. Since this selling, however, markets have reversed course. In terms of weekly returns, Bitcoin is down more than 4%, while Ethereum is in a loss of 7%. Major altcoins like XRP and Solana have also taken a notable hit inside this window.
From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that loss realization in the sector has returned alongside the pullback. With another failure to find a break into the profit zone, the median SOPR for the top 500 coins is now extending its already-long stay inside the underwater region. During 2025, there were a couple of very brief surges above the 1 level for the metric, but the last time a proper break occurred was all the way back in late 2024. Thus, it would appear that the average altcoin trader has been in loss-realization mode for 1.5 years.
This loss-taking behavior among investors, interestingly, couldn&#8217;t change when Bitcoin and other assets observed a bull run last year. Considering this, it only remains to be seen what will need to happen to change the situation of the altcoin traders, if their situation will change at all.
ETH Price
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $2,100, down 0.2% over the last 24 hours.

In his May 19 “Bitcoin Morning Brief,” Adler pointed to a mixed setup across two closely watched on-chain indicators: Bitcoin Percent Supply in Profit and Short-Term Holder SOPR. The first metric shows a meaningful structural recovery. The second still suggests that recent buyers are not yet realizing sustained profits with enough confidence to validate the move.
“Supply in Profit has recovered after the capitulation phase, but short-term holders are still not realizing sustained profits,” Adler wrote. “There is still no behavioral confirmation of a reversal.”
Bitcoin Nears Critical Zone as Short-Term Holders Flash Warning
According to Adler’s data, Bitcoin Percent Supply in Profit on a seven-day simple moving average has climbed from a March low of 53.6% to 63.3% as of May 18. The recovery indicates that a larger share of circulating Bitcoin now has an on-chain cost basis below the current market price, marking a clear improvement from the capitulation phase earlier this year.
The move, however, remains incomplete by the analyst’s framework. Adler noted that the current reading is still roughly 10 percentage points below January levels, when the metric stood above 72%, and remains beneath the historical cumulative average of around 76.9%. In his view, that keeps Bitcoin in a recovery phase rather than a fully normalized profitability regime.
“The current level remains below the historical cumulative average of around 76.9%,” Adler wrote. “This means the market is still in a recovery phase. A return above 70% while the current price dynamics hold would be the first signal of normalization in the supply structure.”
The more fragile signal comes from short-term holders. Adler said Bitcoin’s STH-SOPR SMA-7D recovered from a capitulation zone below 0.97 earlier this year but has failed to hold decisively above the neutral 1.0 threshold. As of May 18, the indicator stood at 0.9994, slightly below neutral, with Bitcoin near $76,900.
That matters because STH-SOPR tracks whether coins moved by short-term holders, typically defined as coins held for less than 155 days, are being sold at a profit or loss. A reading below 1.0 indicates that these market participants are selling at a loss on average. For Adler, that makes the recent slip below the threshold more important than the headline improvement in aggregate supply profitability.
“STH-SOPR SMA-7D reached the cycle low in early February 2026 at 0.967,” Adler wrote. “This was a zone of clear capitulation, when short-term holders were broadly realizing losses. The following recovery was gradual.”
The indicator had stabilized in the 1.001 to 1.009 range in April as Bitcoin moved above the $75,000 to $80,000 area. But the pullback to 0.9994 marked the first move back below 1.0 after roughly two weeks above the threshold, according to the brief. Adler framed that as a warning that the recovery still depends heavily on price holding a narrow support band.
“The key question now is whether STH-SOPR can hold above 1.0 again or continue declining together with price,” he wrote. “Losing the 1.0 level with price below $76k would increase the risk of retesting the March lows in Supply in Profit.”
For now, Adler described the market stance as neutral with a cautious bias. The critical zone is $76,000 to $77,000, which he said is sufficient to push STH-SOPR back above 1.0 if buyers defend it. A stronger confirmation would require STH-SOPR to remain above 1.0 for five to seven trading days while Bitcoin holds above $78,000 to $80,000, alongside Supply in Profit moving toward the 68% to 70% range.
The downside scenario is more immediate. Adler flagged a potential pullback to $73,000 to $74,000 as the main risk, saying that move could drag STH-SOPR back into the 0.98 to 0.99 zone and stall the improvement in Supply in Profit.
At press time, BTC traded at $77,015.

The breakdown is not simply a technical level failing — it is a price entering a specific intersection of holder cost bases that creates a structural conflict between the forces trying to push Bitcoin higher and the forces preventing it from going there.
Rei Researcher&#8217;s analysis draws on CryptoQuant&#8217;s Holder Metrics chart to map exactly where Bitcoin currently stands relative to the cost basis of different participant cohorts. The picture that emerges is of a market caught between competing pressures at precisely the level where those pressures are most evenly matched.
Bitcoin recently completed a recovery wave that carried it meaningfully above the April lows — a move that returned a significant cohort of short-term holders to profitability for the first time since the correction began. That recovery brought the price directly toward the Short-Term Holder cost basis — the average entry price of participants who acquired Bitcoin within the past several months and have been sitting on losses throughout the decline.
At that level, the dynamic shifts. Holders who endured weeks of losses and finally returned to breakeven face a decision the data says they have consistently made the same way: they sell. The STH cost basis is not simply a technical resistance level. It is a behavioral threshold, and Bitcoin approaching it from below has met the same supply every time.
Between The Floor Institutions Built And The Ceiling Holders Created
Rei Researcher&#8217;s analysis identifies the constructive element that prevents the current breakdown from being read as unambiguously bearish. Despite losing $80,000 and trading near $77,000, Bitcoin is still holding above the cost basis of institutional fund flows — the average entry price of ETF capital that has accumulated since the spot Bitcoin ETFs launched.
That level functions as a crucial support buffer in the current environment, representing the price below which institutional investors who entered through regulated products would begin sitting on unrealized losses.
&amp;
The implication of breaking that support is direct and significant. ETF holders who have been absorbing volatility from a position of profit would shift to a position of loss — a psychological and structural change that historically triggers accelerated outflows and reduced institutional appetite for adding exposure. Rei Researcher identifies a break below the ETF cost basis as the specific condition that would trigger a negative trend rather than continued consolidation.
Bitcoin at $77,000 is therefore positioned in the most contested price zone of this cycle — supported from below by the cost basis of the most structurally significant new category of buyer, and weighed down from above by the combined resistance of the STH cost basis and the 200-day moving average.
The medium-term trend will not be established by gradual drift in either direction. It will be established by a decisive break above or below one of those two cost basis zones — a break accompanied by the volume and follow-through that confirms a genuine regime change rather than another test that reverses at the boundary. Until that break arrives, Bitcoin is consolidating at the exact price where the market&#8217;s next directional decision is being made.
Bitcoin Weekly Structure Shows Indecision
Bitcoin is trading near $76,700 on the weekly chart after failing to reclaim the major resistance zone between $78,000 and $80,000, an area that now acts as the market’s primary structural ceiling. The rejection reinforces the broader corrective structure that has dominated price action since Bitcoin topped above $110,000 late last year.
The chart shows BTC attempting to stabilize after the sharp capitulation event that briefly pushed price toward the low-$60,000 region earlier this year. Buyers successfully defended the broader demand zone between $64,000 and $68,000, allowing Bitcoin to recover back toward the weekly 50 moving average. However, momentum weakened significantly once price approached the overhead resistance cluster formed by the 50-week moving average and previous breakdown levels near $80,000.
Importantly, Bitcoin continues trading below the weekly 100 moving average, while the weekly 200 moving average remains far below the current price near the long-term macro trend zone. This positioning reflects a market still structurally bullish on higher timeframes but facing meaningful medium-term weakness and uncertainty.
Volume has also declined during the latest rebound attempt, suggesting the recovery lacks the aggressive spot demand that characterized previous bull continuation phases. For now, the market remains trapped between key holder support zones below and heavy resistance overhead. A decisive breakout above $80,000 would likely shift momentum back toward bullish continuation, while losing the $68,000 region could trigger a broader market reset.

One of the areas the SOL network is currently seeing massive growth again is its Real-World Asset (RWA) ecosystem.
RWA Value On The Solana Network Climbs Sharply
Solana is gaining the community’s attention once again, even with its price pulling back to the $85 mark. Underneath its sideways price action over the past few weeks, the SOL network is rapidly expanding its footprint in the Real World Asset sector.
As tokenization gains major traction in the crypto space, the value of tokenized assets on the SOL network has seen explosive growth. A recent report from Solana&#8217;s official page on the X platform reveals that its RWA value has surged to over $2.8 billion, representing a new all-time high.
This figure marks yet another major milestone for the leading network, reinforcing its position in the blockchain sector. The rapid expansion demonstrates the growing interest in bringing conventional financial products such as treasuries and other yield-bearing assets to the blockchain.
SOL attracting this kind of massive value in RWA is largely due to its fast transaction speed and lower costs. As institutional and developer activity around RWAs accelerates, this figure is expected to expand in the future.
SOL Perp Volume Is Trending At Its Highest Level Yet
In other areas, such as Perpetual (Perp) futures volume, the Solana network is also witnessing substantial growth. David Alexander, an on-chain data expert, reported that SOL’s perp volume has climbed sharply, opening the week at an all-time high. Such development has led to a significant rise in trader engagement and speculative activity, with derivatives markets becoming more active in response to SOL&#8217;s price fluctuations.
According to the data, the network is now handling about $20 billion in total perp volume, coming second only to Hyperliquid (HYPE), which currently handles over $42 billion. However, open interest across Solana perps is valued at just $223 million compared to the $9 billion of Hyperliquid.
Alexander highlighted that the majority of SOL’s perp volume was led by GMTrade, a leading RWA perp DEX, with $16 billion. Others include Pacifica and Jupiter Exchange, scooping up $2.9 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. 
This milestone comes just a few days after Solana perp volume saw its highest daily perp volume, recording over $4.7 billion in a single day, representing a +500% MoM. At the time of the achievement, SOL accounted for 21% of all perp activity, still only behind Hyperliquid’s 36%. In times of increased volatility and velocity like the current market state, rising perp volume is sometimes seen as an indication of increasing market interest and liquidity.
At the time of writing, SOL’s price was trading at $85, demonstrating a 0.41% increase over the last 24 hours. Its trading volume has also slightly risen by over 1.61% within the same time frame.

The announcement arrives amid intensifying concern across the crypto sector over the security of the cryptographic systems used by major networks like Bitcoin (BTC), as advances in quantum computing raise the possibility that sufficiently powerful quantum machines could eventually threaten the cryptographic foundations.
XRP Ledger Targets Quantum Readiness
As outlined in Project Eleven’s disclosure, the work with XRPL will begin with a comprehensive assessment of key parts of the network. The partnership plans to conduct a full audit covering XRPL’s validator, custody, networking, and wallet layers to identify potential quantum-related vulnerabilities. 
After the audit phase, the parties plan to move toward deployment of hybrid signatures. In practice, that means adding quantum-resistant cryptography on top of existing standards rather than relying solely on older mechanisms. 
The announcement also points to the development of a quantum-secure custody wallet prototype, with Project Eleven expected to contribute working code, real performance data, and an implementation path that can lead to production.
Ayo Akinyele, Head of Engineering at RippleX, said the quantum risk should not be treated as speculative. He described the threat as an engineering challenge with a clear timeline and emphasized that the blockchain is not starting from zero. 
Hybrid Security Path
In his remarks, Akinyele highlighted capabilities already present on the network, including key rotation and a validator network designed to coordinate upgrades at scale. 
He added that working with Project Eleven is intended to accelerate testing and implementation while adding rigor across the stack. The stated objective, he said, is to reach production readiness well before “Q Day,” rather than scrambling when the risk becomes immediate.
XRPL also weighed in on the announcement via X, saying the ledger is “built for the Quantum Era.” The network described its design as running on a native account-based architecture that includes built-in key rotation. 
According to XRPL, this structure allows users and organizations to shift to quantum-resistant signatures without changing the r-addresses their customers already recognize and trust. 
The ledger said it expects Project Eleven to complete the planned audit of the XRPL network, wallets, and validator layer ahead of deploying quantum-resistant cryptography, framing the effort as a step-by-step move toward stronger security across the system.

While his self-titled meme coin, Official Trump (TRUMP), continues to trade in the market after a more than 80% crash, new federal disclosures reveal that the President and his family have been investing in firms with direct ties to BTC. The trades, made in the first quarter of 2026, targeted major global companies built around bitcoin mining, holding, and trading. The move reveals Trump’s deeper push into the crypto market ahead of a clearer regulatory landscape. 
Trump Expands Exposure From Meme Coins To Bitcoin Firms
New government records show that Trump and members of his family made a series of investments in crypto-linked stocks during the first three months of this year. The disclosures, which immediately caught the attention of investors and analysts, were submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics (OGE) and made public this week.
The document, known as an OGE Form 278-T, revealed thousands of stock trades carried out under the names of Trump and his family between January and March 2026. Among the crypto stocks, the family bought shares in MARA Holdings (MARA), the world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner, Coinbase (COIN), the largest crypto exchange, and Strategy (MSTR), the world’s first and largest Bitcoin treasury. 
Filing records also show nine trading entries linked to Coinbase, with the biggest single transaction executed on February 10 and valued somewhere between $100,001 and $250,000. Two smaller purchases of MARA Holdings were also recorded, with each trade below $50,000.
Interestingly, Strategy shares saw the most activity, with eight transactions that included both buying and selling. The largest stock purchase came on February 12, valued between $50,001 and $100,000. Meanwhile, the largest sale was recorded on January 12, with an estimated amount between $15,001 and $50,000. 
Thousands More Trades Round Out Trump’s Busy Quarter
Bitcoin-related stock purchases were only a small part of what Trump and his family traded in Q1. In total, more than 2,000 transactions took place during that quarter, with the overall value of trades estimated between $220 million and $750 million.
Beyond Bitcoin, the filing reported that Trump bought shares in some crypto and fintech stocks, including Robinhood (HOOD), Block Inc. (XYZ), PayPal (PYPL), and SoFi Technologies (SOFI). Other major transactions included purchases of major tech companies such as Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL), and Boeing (BA), with some of those trades falling in the $1 million to $5 million range.
Notably, Trump&#8217;s assets are held in a family trust managed by his children, and some of the trades appear to have been handled through third-party firms rather than directly by the US President. The filing does not give exact amounts of these trades, only ranges. It also does not show whether any trades resulted in a profit or a loss.

The firm, known for its highly disciplined approach to investing and its massive influence across global financial markets, is said to have closed all its put options on the Canary XRP ETF while maintaining its call options. This combination has drawn significant attention from analysts and investors tracking institutional activity in the crypto space, as it possibly signals Citadel&#8217;s belief that the XRP price could rise soon. 
Citadel Files 13F On Canary XRP ETF
Market analyst Xaif Crypto disclosed in an X post on May 16 that Citadel has reportedly filed a 13F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), revealing a major stake in the XRP ETF. According to claims going around, the firm holds $1.7 million in XRP exposure across multiple providers, including Bitwise, Canary, Franklin, and Grayscale.
These claims suggest that Citadel had previously held put options on its XRP ETF, a move that would have protected it if the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price fell. Those puts are now said to be completely closed out at 100%, meaning Citadel allegedly removed its entire safety net. 
What makes this move even more interesting, if confirmed, is what the Wall Street firm had reportedly kept after it closed out all its puts. Citadel is said to still hold 34,900 call options on its XRP ETF, bets that could pay off significantly if the cryptocurrency’s price surges higher. Although the size of the bets tied to those positions has not been revealed. 
In large-scale investing, a company removing its downside protection while keeping upside bets is generally read as a sign of growing confidence in an asset. This means that Citadel likely expects XRP’s downtrend to end soon, potentially flipping into bullish territory once more and triggering a fresh rally. 
Although the rumored 13F filing remains unconfirmed, what is certain is that Citadel and Fortress co-led a $500 million round in Ripple in November 2025, valuing the crypto company at $40 billion. This suggests that the hedge fund has shown interest in the XRP ecosystem well before the latest claims emerged. 
XRP ETFs See Highest Weekly Inflow This Year
X Finance Bull, a well-known crypto analyst on X, announced on May 18 that XRP spot ETFs recorded their highest weekly inflow since January 2026, pulling in $60.5 million. This capital brought the crypto fund&#8217;s cumulative total net inflow to a whopping $1.39 billion.  Notably, the surge in demand came during a period when XRP&#8217;s price remained low and was consolidating. X Finance Bull noted that while retail investors panicked and sold into the dip, institutions continued to accumulate XRP-linked products at an accelerated pace.
The analyst explained that this bizarre opposite movement between retail and institutional investors is due to upcoming events that could significantly impact the XRP price. X Finance Bull points to a series of regulatory and structural developments that institutional players appear to be tracking closely. 
Among them are the CLARITY Act markup, the appointment of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair, the Ripple Prime $200 million facility, a DTCC working group, and reported settlement activity involving JPMorgan Chase and Mastercard on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). He noted that these are the kinds of developments that large funds tend to position around well ahead of any price movement.

Her latest concern centers on the OCC’s approvals—some granted on a conditional basis over recent months—at a time when the conventional banking sector has already been raising objections throughout the year.
Warren Challenges OCC On Crypto Charters
Bloomberg reports that Warren’s argument is that at least some of the companies appear to be “seemingly ineligible” for the type of charter they are receiving. 
In her letter to Jonathan Gould, the head of the OCC, the Senator said the regulator has 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 went further, describing what she sees as an “apparent violation of the National Bank Act.”
Among the approvals mentioned are those granted to crypto giants such as Ripple, Circle (CRCL), BitGo, Fidelity, and Paxos in December of last year. 
Others, such as Coinbase (COIN), received conditional approval from the OCC to establish Coinbase National Trust Company. Around the same timeframe, Kraken’s parent company, Payward, also filed an application seeking approval for a National Trust Company charter. 
Those approvals would allow these companies to manage and hold assets on behalf of customers—an arrangement that could speed up payment settlement compared with older processing timelines.
However, Warren’s critique is not only about what the trust charters allow today, but also about where she believes some firms may be headed next. 
OCC’s Defense
Per the report, the Massachusetts Democrat argued that some companies are trying to move past traditional custody and into business areas that look more like banking operations. That includes activities such as lending, payments, and running trading platform-type services. 
In her view, easing rules for trust companies this year could effectively enable crypto firms to broaden their financial activities too far, without the same level of constraints and oversight that typically apply to banks.
Warren framed the concern as follows: if crypto firms are permitted to engage in bank-like businesses without “the same regulations and safeguards,” it could create problems for consumer protection and for overall stability in the financial system.
Yet, the Senator is not the only critic of the OCC’s approach. Traditional banks have voiced their own apprehension throughout the year, arguing that the OCC’s approvals stretch the historical intent behind the national trust bank charter. 
The OCC, through Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould, has defended its actions. Last year, Gould emphasized that bringing new entrants into the federal banking system could improve competition and deliver additional products and services. 
From his perspective, the OCC’s approach is beneficial for both consumers and the broader banking industry, and it supports modernization rather than regulatory dilution.
