The selloff comes as Congress has also confirmed a new Federal Reserve (Fed) chair—Kevin Warsh—raising expectations for how monetary policy could evolve next. 
Warsh’s Confirmation
In a recent report, market expert Sam Daodu pointed to Warsh’s unusual position among Fed leaders: Daodu noted that Warsh would be the first Fed chair who owns crypto personally and has referred to Bitcoin as “the new gold for people under 40.” 
But Daodu also emphasized an important counterweight. He described Warsh as one of the more hawkish voices in the Fed—particularly on the issue of quantitative easing (QE)—and said that President Trump wants Warsh to cut rates right away.
Markets, however, are not fully aligned with the political push for faster easing. After today’s hot inflation reading, trading models are pricing roughly 39% odds of a rate hike instead of cuts. 
Against that backdrop, Daodu laid out multiple factors that could shape how BTC responds to Warsh’s appointment—especially since Bitcoin could move in very different directions depending on how Warsh signals policy intent.
Daodu framed it as a split between two broad paths for the Fed, both affecting the market’s expectations for the rest of 2026. 
Bitcoin Risk Hinges On Two Fed Paths 
In the “realistic scenario”—described as hawkish—Edward Jones economist James McCann said, “spiking inflation will leave the Fed firmly on the sidelines for his first few meetings and potentially through the rest of 2026.” 
Under that view, if Warsh signals that 3.8% inflation is unacceptable and that the Fed will hold longer, Bitcoin could slip below $78,000, the level marked by the 200-day moving average (MA). 
In the other scenario, Daodu said a more constructive message could emerge from Warsh’s argument that artificial intelligence (AI) productivity justifies cutting rates even with a hot Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading. If that happens, the expert says Bitcoin could rebound toward the $82,000 –$85,000 zone.
What happens at the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting may not be the main catalyst. Daodu noted that markets have largely already priced in that the Fed will likely do nothing at the next meeting. 
CME FedWatch places the probability of a hold at the current 3.50%–3.75% rate at about 70% for June, with a 25 basis point cut priced at roughly 28%. Yet, the larger issue, according to Daodu, is whether anything Warsh says changes the expected rate path further out.
Revised Dot Plot Vs. Surprise Cut
According to Daodu, two outcomes could move BTC. One is a surprise cut scenario that is still priced at about 28% odds. If that materializes, Daodu said Bitcoin could surge toward $85,000 –$88,000, with the implication that Warsh would be cutting rates without waiting for inflation to cool. 
The second outcome involves hawkish messaging combined with a revised dot plot. Daodu said the June meeting includes an updated Summary of Economic Projections and its associated dot plot, which shows where each Fed member expects rates to land. 
If Fed officials shift the dot plot toward fewer cuts for 2026, Bitcoin could fall below $78,000. Daodu described this as riskier because it could lock in tighter policy expectations regardless of Warsh’s personal preferences.

The story behind the recovery is as unusual as the outcome. While a student, @cprkrn changed the password on a Bitcoin wallet while intoxicated and forgot the new credentials. He still possessed an old mnemonic phrase — the seed phrase used to generate the wallet — but it no longer opened the current wallet file. Years of attempts followed.
He spent roughly $250 on professional recovery services, exhausted brute-force software testing an estimated 7 trillion password combinations, and eventually gave up on conventional methods entirely, per his X thread. He held out until Bitcoin crossed $100,000 before mounting one final serious attempt.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT OMG CLAUDE JUST CRACKED THIS SHIT, THANK YOU @AnthropicAI THANK YOU @DarioAmodei NAMING MY KID AFTER YOU https://t.co/gObNirRDpS https://t.co/ByTdIM4d20 pic.twitter.com/xB5LUJb6Pe
— (@cprkrn) May 13, 2026 
Bitcoin Found: How Claude Actually Did It
The recovery was not a case of AI breaking Bitcoin&#8217;s encryption. Wallet recovery experts who reviewed the X thread that Claude&#8217;s role was forensic rather than cryptographic — sorting through large amounts of historical data to identify clues tied to older wallet credentials and file versions. The distinction matters and @cprkrn&#8217;s own account confirms it.
His approach was straightforward. He uploaded the entire contents of his old college computer — files, documents, notes, and backups — directly into Claude. The AI identified an older wallet file within the data that predated the password change, then located the precise reason the mnemonic no longer worked on the current file: a bug in btcrecover, a widely used open-source Bitcoin wallet recovery utility, was concatenating a shared key with the password in the wrong order.
Claude identified the bug, corrected the decryption logic, ran the process, and extracted the private keys in Wallet Import Format. Claude&#8217;s output, which @cprkrn screenshotted and posted to X, read: &#8220;PRIVATE KEYS DECRYPTED! WE GOT IT!!! THE 5 BTC IS YOURS!&#8221;
Blockchain data from Blockchair confirmed the wallet at address 14VJySbsKraEJbtwk9ivnr1fXs6QuofuE6 had shown no transaction activity since 2015 until that day, when outbound transfers consistent with a recovery and wallet migration appeared.
The Thread That Went Viral
@cprkrn&#8217;s X posts generated more than 6 million views within hours of publication drawing responses from prominent crypto figures including Nic Carter, Laura Shin, and Jesse Pollak. In a follow-up post summarizing the method for others in similar situations, he wrote: &#8220;Just mega dump all of your computers and notebooks into Claude.&#8221; He also publicly thanked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei directly.
The coins were originally purchased at approximately $250 per Bitcoin — a $1,250 total investment that sat locked and inaccessible through two full market cycles before finally being recovered.
As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at around $79,300, meaning the recovered 5 BTC now represents a return of approximately 32,500% on the original purchase price — eleven years later.

More Than 332,000 Wallets Now Hold 10,000+ XRP
In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the population of the mid-to-large holders of XRP. The indicator of relevance here is the &#8220;Supply Distribution,&#8221; which tells us, among other things, the number of wallets that belong to a given group.
Addresses are divided into these cohorts based on the number of tokens that they are carrying in their balance. The 1 to 10 coins group, for example, includes all holders who own between 1 and 10 BTC. In the context of the current topic, the range of interest is the 10,000+ coins one (with there being no upper bound).
At the current exchange rate, the cutoff for this range converts to around $14,300. While this isn&#8217;t terribly high, it does act as a filter against the small entities. As such, the range can showcase the combined behavior of the mid-sized and large investor cohorts.
Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows how the Supply Distribution for the 10,000+ coins group has changed on the XRP network over the last few months:
As displayed in the above graph, the total number of XRP wallets holding more than 10,000 tokens observed a plunge alongside the price crash from January-end/February-start. This means that some of the prominent investors of the cryptocurrency cleared out their balance amid the market panic.
While the decline was sharp, it lasted only briefly, and before long, the indicator was back to following a similar trajectory as before the crash: a gradual uptrend. The new uptrend maintained throughout March and April, and so far, it has also sustained in May.
After the latest continuation to this trajectory, the indicator has completely retraced the earlier plummet and reached a value of 332,230, which is a new all-time high (ATH). The analytics firm noted:
The continued rise in XRP Ledger wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP is an important long-term signal because it shows that larger holders have kept accumulating even during periods of volatility and uncertainty.
In some other news, XRP continuing to struggle recently has meant that treasury company Evernorth has continued to hold deep losses on its holdings. As analyst Maartunn has highlighted in an X post, the firm was only in profit for about a couple of weeks before its reserves fell into the red.
From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that Evernorth&#8217;s XRP treasury, which spent $950 million to assemble its holdings, is currently down $389 million.
XRP Price
At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.43, down 1% over the last 24 hours.

The Size Of The Donation
According to reports, the money came from Harborne, a British cryptocurrency investor based in Thailand who gave £9 million to Reform UK in a single donation last year — the largest gift to a UK political party by a living person in British history.
His total contributions to Reform reached £12 million in 2025. The separate £5 million payment went directly to Farage in early 2024, months before Farage won a seat in Parliament.
Farage says the money was given to cover his personal security costs and describes it as a private, unconditional gift with no political strings attached.
His office confirmed it is in contact with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and said they expect the inquiry to clear him. &#8220;No rules were broken,&#8221; a Reform spokesman said.
It is right that Nigel Farage should be investigated for receiving a £5m gift from a crypto billionaire.
So far Farage and Reform have not given any satisfactory answers regarding this questionable donation.https://t.co/au9VBUNOuh
— Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough &amp; Thornaby East (@AndyMcDonaldMP) May 13, 2026
What The Rules Actually Say
Commons rules require newly elected MPs to register financial interests and any benefits received in the 12 months before their election. Farage was elected in July 2024. The gift was made in early 2024, which places it squarely within that window.
The rules do allow exemptions for purely personal gifts, but they also state that both the giver&#8217;s possible motive and the intended use of the money must be weighed. Where doubt exists, registration is expected.
This is not the first time Farage has run into disclosure issues. Earlier this year, he was found to have registered £384,000 in interests late. Standards commissioner Daniel Greenberg ruled that breach was accidental and allowed Farage to update his records without facing formal punishment.
Opposition Parties Push Back
Labour and the Conservatives have both called for answers. Labour Party chair Anna Turley said Farage has been dodging questions since the gift first came to light and called the investigation appropriate.
The Conservatives, who filed the complaint that triggered the inquiry, also raised the matter separately with the Electoral Commission, which said it is reviewing the information.
A Conservative spokesman put it bluntly: £5 million is more than most people earn in a lifetime, and Farage owes the public an explanation for how and why he received it.
If the Commissioner finds Farage violated the code of conduct, possible consequences range from a formal apology to suspension from Parliament. Expulsion remains an option in the most serious cases.

Schwab Launches Spot Trading For BTC, ETH
On Tuesday, the $11.7 trillion brokerage giant Charles Schwab revealed that it officially launched its spot digital asset trading platform, Schwab Crypto, to a select group of retail customers.
According to the X announcement, the first group of clients can trade Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) directly on its platform alongside their other digital asset-related investment products.
The crypto trading platform is available in all US states, excluding New York and Louisiana, and will charge a 75-basis-point fee on the dollar value of each trade, which is among the lowest in the industry.
Last month, the firm revealed the platform would be introduced in phases, starting with an internal employee pilot, moving to a client waitlist, and then opening to eligible customers throughout the rest of 2026.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the company explained that Schwab clients will maintain separate accounts under the new platform, which will be linked directly to their brokerage accounts.
Notably, Charles Schwab Premier Bank (CSPB) will serve as the custodian for customers’ assets, handling safekeeping and record-keeping. Meanwhile, blockchain infrastructure provider Paxos will handle trade execution and sub-custody, using a federally overseen trust model and enterprise-grade technology
The brokerage giant also revealed plans to add additional digital assets to the platform and introduce transfer capabilities for both deposits and withdrawals, allowing clients with existing digital asset investments to bring them to Schwab alongside their other accounts.
Jonathan Craig, Head of Retail Investing at Charles Schwab, previously noted that with Schwab Crypto, the firm seeks to allow clients who want direct access to the asset class to benefit from the service, educational resources, and research tools they expect from the company.
Traditional Institutions Expand Crypto Offerings
This move marks a major expansion from Schwab’s previous digital asset-related offerings, which included indirect exposure to investments through spot crypto Exchange-traded products (ETPs), futures, options on spot crypto ETPs, crypto-related ETFs, and mutual funds that invest in the broader digital asset ecosystem. Schwab clients hold approximately 20% of spot crypto ETPs, the firm noted.
Moreover, the launch comes as major banks and brokerages race to add digital‑asset products and integrate crypto into mainstream investing, with several firms expanding retail digital asset offerings in recent years.
Last week, Wall Street behemoth Morgan Stanley also launched a crypto trading pilot on its E*Trade platform to a limited number of users, seeking to challenge major players, including Schwab, with competitive pricing.
The banking giant is charging E*Trade users a 50-basis-point fee on the transaction value, placing its prices below Robinhood’s 95 basis points, Coinbase’s 60 basis points, and Schwab’s 75 basis points.
While the pilot is currently available only to a limited group, Morgan Stanley expects to expand access to all of E*Trade’s 8.6 million clients later this year. The bank’s executives are reportedly preparing an offering to directly convert digital assets into shares of ETPs without selling the assets, and planning to add the ability to trade tokenized equities in the second half of 2026.
Jed Finn, Morgan Stanley’s head of wealth management, affirmed that the launch is “much bigger than trading crypto at a cheaper rate,” explaining that their strategy is “disintermediating the disintermediators.”

The Math Behind The Mining
The kingdom began mining Bitcoin in 2019, tapping surplus electricity from its glacier-fed rivers. State-owned Druk Holding and Investments ran the operation, and at its peak in late 2024, the reserve reached nearly 13,000 BTC.
The April 2024 block reward halving cut mining output significantly. The last on-chain deposit above $100,000 into Bhutan-linked wallets occurred more than 12 months ago, raising questions about whether active mining continues at all.
On Tuesday, Bhutan moved 100 BTC — worth about $8.1 million — out of its holding wallets, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence.
The country has now offloaded roughly $230 million in Bitcoin since January, averaging about $50 million a month. Current holdings sit at approximately 3,100 BTC, valued near $252 million.
Bhutan is selling Bitcoin.
Bhutan just moved 100 BTC ($8.1M) out of its holding wallets.
At their current rate of selling, they will run out of BTC before the end of September. pic.twitter.com/z8P7yf0kzS
— Arkham (@arkham) May 12, 2026
A Sell-Off With No Fixed Timeline
Arkham projects Bhutan will exhaust its reserves before the end of September if sales continue at the current pace.
Not everyone buys that timeline. Markus Levin, co-founder of XYO, said the projection assumes a steady rate of selling — but that is not how Bhutan has operated.
Sales started with 2,077 BTC worth $163 million in late 2024, followed by a $100 million tranche in September 2025, with quieter stretches in between.
Earlier this year, transfers picked up again. Reports indicate Bhutan moved over $120 million in Bitcoin during March alone, including a single transfer of 519.7 BTC valued at $36.75 million at the time. Coins are often routed through Singapore-based trading firm QCP Capital, according to reports.
Analysts say the pattern reflects a deliberate treasury approach. Lacie Zhang, a research analyst at Bitget Wallet, described the activity as an active sovereign strategy aimed at monetizing gains while keeping some long-term exposure.
Since the Bitcoin was mined at near-zero cost, every sale generates profit regardless of timing.
Crypto Ambitions Remain Intact
The sell-down has not slowed Bhutan&#8217;s broader push into digital assets. Gelephu Mindfulness City, a special administrative region in southern Bhutan, has been designated to hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB as strategic reserves.
King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck pledged up to 10,000 BTC — then worth around $1 billion — toward the city&#8217;s development in December 2025.

The bill—described by participants as a crypto market structure package that has already been delayed by more than five months—is widely viewed by negotiators as close to a version they want to move forward. 
Even so, some senators, including well-known crypto critic Elizabeth Warren, are signaling they plan to keep pushing changes into the draft.
Warren’s XRP Banking Move
A post from market expert and crypto researcher Bull Winkle claims Warren “stayed up all night” on Tuesday drafting 40 amendments intended to block XRP from the US banking system. 
According to the post, the most consequential proposal would limit the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) ability to grant “master accounts” to crypto firms—an approach the amendments reportedly aim to apply broadly, including to institutions and companies such as Ripple, Circle, Anchorage, and Custodia Bank.
However, Bull Winkle’s assessment reminds that Kraken already holds a Federal Reserve master account and that Ripple has received approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to operate as a bank. 
In that framing, Warren’s effort is characterized less as preventing new access and more as attempting to reverse momentum that is already moving through the system. 
The amendment focus is not limited to XRP-related banking concerns. Eleanor Terrett of Crypto In America reported on Wednesday that one standout proposal attributed to Senator Jack Reed includes an amendment that would prohibit crypto from being used as legal tender, including for paying taxes. 
‘Anti-DeFi’ CLARITY Act Amendments
Terrett also reported that after more than 100 amendments were submitted to the CLARITY Act draft by members of the Senate Banking Committee, the DeFi Education Fund (DEF) is monitoring what it describes as “anti-DeFi amendments.” 
According to that tracking effort, the group says the proposals could damage decentralized finance (DeFi) technology, its users, and developers, and is urging supporters to lobby senators ahead of tomorrow’s markup.
In DEF’s description, the DeFi-targeted amendments in the CLARITY Act appear to come from Democratic senators including Cortez Masto, Andy Kim (NJ), Chris Van Hollen, Elizabeth Warren, and Jack Reed. 
The group’s stated concern is that the proposals would weaken or remove core protections. Those areas include the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), protections for non-controlling software developers, tokenization provisions, and what the group calls expanded BSA/AML obligations for developers.
With the Senate Banking Committee set to mark up the CLARITY Act on Thursday, negotiators are watching not only what gets added or removed, but also whether the final shape of the amendments will allow the bill to move forward without another round of disruption.
At the time of writing, XRP was trading at around $1.41, having recorded a 1.4% loss over the previous 24 hours. This amid a broader crypto market retracement, which saw Bitcoin (BTC) drop to $78,000 once again.

That blunt observation came from Legend CEO Jayson Hobby as he announced the closure of the DeFi mobile app he helped build — and it may be the most honest thing said about crypto consumer products in years.
A Costly Lesson in Crypto User Behavior
Legend, a mobile-first DeFi aggregator founded by former Compound Finance executives, will go offline on July 12 after roughly two years in operation. The app will continue running normally for 60 days before the shutdown takes effect.
Hobby said the product found an audience but failed to grow to the scale needed to keep the company financially viable. Closing, he said, was the right call for the team and its investors.
The app let users earn, trade, borrow, and swap assets like stablecoins and Ether through integrations with major DeFi protocols including Aave, Compound, and Uniswap — all from a single interface.
The idea was to spare users from juggling multiple wallets and applications. Legend operated as a non-custodial aggregator, meaning it never held user funds directly.

Backed By Big Names, Still Not Enough
In February 2025, Legend closed a $15 million funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase Ventures. The backing gave it credibility. It wasn&#8217;t enough to overcome the growth gap.
No active user counts or total value locked figures were disclosed, partly because the aggregator model makes those numbers harder to pin down.
What users want, according to Hobby, is simple: better yield, faster payments, more control over their money. Whether those outcomes come from a blockchain or a traditional bank account is beside the point.
&#8220;The product that wins,&#8221; he said, &#8220;is the one that hides it completely. The benefits are felt, not explained.&#8221;
The broader DeFi market has not made things easier. Total value locked across the DeFi ecosystem has fallen 50% since October, weighed down by a prolonged crypto bear market.
A Wave Of Closures Sweeps The Sector
Legend is far from alone. More than 20 DeFi, NFT, crypto, GameFi protocols have announced shutdowns so far this year.
ZeroLend closed in February after three years, calling its model unsustainable. Solana aggregator Step Finance wound down the same month following a $40 million treasury wallet breach.
DeFi derivatives platform Polynomial also ceased operations in February. Balancer Labs shut down in March after mounting pressure following a $116 million hack late last year.
And in April, Base-based lending protocol Seamless Protocol cited volatile market conditions as the reason for its closure.

In a post on X titled “America Must Fight to Win Crypto,” Novogratz framed the debate as both a policy test and a political one for the Democratic Party, which he said risks “hand[ing] the future away” if it allows the bill to stall in the Senate. He said the issue is no longer whether crypto demand exists in the US, but whether American lawmakers will write rules that keep that activity inside the domestic regulatory perimeter.
“I have voted for Democrats most of my adult life, and I will again,” Novogratz wrote. “I am writing this because I root for my party, and because, on the technology that will shape American power in this century, the loudest voices on our left are about to hand the future away.”
Democrats Must ‘Show Up’ On Crypto
The post centers on the CLARITY Act, a House-passed crypto market structure bill designed to establish a clearer federal framework for digital asset markets. Novogratz noted that the legislation passed the House last July with “overwhelming bipartisan support,” including 78 Democrats, but remains stuck in the Senate ten months later.
He argued that the delay is not primarily about policy substance, but political “posture,” pointing to an internal Democratic split over whether legislation that allows crypto firms to operate onshore should be treated as market infrastructure or as a concession to industry.
“A vocal slice of our caucus has decided that any rule letting American crypto companies operate onshore is a corporate giveaway,” Novogratz wrote. “The result is an offshore market.”
To support that claim, Novogratz contrasted the market share of Binance and Coinbase. Binance, which he described as having no formal headquarters but being licensed in Abu Dhabi, clears nearly 40% of global spot volume, while Coinbase, the largest US-based exchange, clears roughly 6%, according to his post. He also cited estimates that 55 million Americans, or one in five adults, own crypto, and that the US accounted for $2.4 trillion in crypto activity in a single year, nearly four times the next country.
For Novogratz, those figures underscore a mismatch between domestic demand and domestic regulatory capacity. His argument is that without legislation, the US will continue to export market structure, liquidity and company formation to rival financial centers such as Singapore, Dubai and London.
But he cast the legislative stakes as larger than exchange activity alone. Tokenization, he argued, could allow American equities, funds, Treasuries and brands to reach global users who may never open a US brokerage account. In that framing, the CLARITY Act is not merely a crypto bill, but a channel for projecting US financial infrastructure abroad.
“Tokenization on public blockchains lets American equities, American funds, American Treasuries, and American brands reach billions of people abroad who will never open a US brokerage account,” he wrote. “CLARITY could make it possible. It is a projection of American power that both Democrats and Republicans should want.”
Novogratz also tied the issue to voter realignment. He said the voters most enthusiastic about crypto include young men, Black men and Latino men, groups he argued Democrats are already struggling to retain. He pointed to Senator Ruben Gallego and Representative Ritchie Torres as examples of Democrats engaging with crypto policy because their constituents are asking about it.
The broader critique was aimed at what Novogratz described as a tendency among parts of the party to litigate rather than build. Citing Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson’s “Abundance,” he argued that Democrats cannot claim to believe in government while failing to make it function on technologies central to economic competition.
“The center of the ring is being contested in real time, by builders and regulators and rival capitals,” Novogratz wrote. “We do not get to opt out. Pass the CLARITY Act. Show up.”

The timing arrives against a backdrop of genuine momentum in on-chain activity that makes the legislation&#8217;s specific provisions more consequential than they would have been at any earlier point in the cycle.
XWIN Research Japan has drawn attention to a CryptoQuant dataset that contextualizes exactly what is at stake. The All Stablecoins ERC-20 Active Addresses chart shows a sharp rise in stablecoin usage since late 2025, with active addresses briefly approaching 600,000 in 2026 — a level that reflects not simply more stablecoin supply circulating, but genuine growth in real on-chain dollar usage. People are using stablecoins as a functional payment and settlement layer at a scale the network has not previously seen.
Into that growing ecosystem, the CLARITY Act introduces a regulatory distinction with significant structural implications. The bill&#8217;s current draft draws a clear legal line between payment stablecoins — which it appears designed to protect and legitimize — and yield-bearing stablecoin products, which face considerably more restrictive treatment.
Building on the already-passed GENIUS framework that prohibits issuers from paying interest simply for holding stablecoins, the CLARITY draft extends those restrictions to exchanges, custodians, brokers, and wallet providers — targeting the deposit-like APY model that has attracted millions of users to products promising 3% to 5% simply for holding USDC.
The CLARITY Act Is A Boundary. And The Boundary May Actually Help
The XWIN Research Japan analysis draws the distinction that prevents the CLARITY Act from being misread as a broad regulatory assault on the stablecoin ecosystem. The bill does not ban stablecoins. It does not target DeFi as a category. What it appears designed to do is considerably more precise: formalize stablecoins as regulated payment infrastructure while drawing a legal boundary between that infrastructure and the bank deposit model that yield-bearing products have been approximating.
The boundary is not absolute. Rewards tied to genuine economic activity — liquidity provision, staking, governance participation, and collateralized lending — may remain permissible under certain conditions. The distinction the CLARITY Act draws is between passive yield for simply holding a stablecoin and yield generated through actual participation in financial activity. The former is the target. The latter appears to have a viable path forward.

The structural focus of the legislation falls on centralized intermediaries — exchanges, custodians, brokers, and wallet providers offering bank-like APY products. Genuinely decentralized protocols and self-custody activity are not identified as the primary regulatory concern.
The forward implication the analysis identifies is constructive and extends beyond stablecoins. Regulatory clarity around payment infrastructure tends to accelerate adjacent development — tokenized US Treasuries, real-world asset products, and on-chain financial infrastructure all benefit from a defined legal environment. And since stablecoins function as the core dollar liquidity layer of crypto markets, expanding regulated stablecoin usage creates the capital flow conditions that historically strengthen long-term inflows into Bitcoin as well.
Thursday&#8217;s vote will determine whether that framework becomes law or returns for further negotiation. The on-chain usage data suggests the market has already been moving in the direction the legislation is trying to formalize.
Stablecoin Dominance Declines As Capital Gradually Returns To Risk Assets
Stablecoin dominance is trading near 12.1% after declining steadily from the February peak above 14%, a move that reflects capital gradually rotating back into higher-risk crypto assets following the first quarter correction. The chart shows that stablecoin dominance accelerated sharply during the February selloff as investors moved aggressively into dollar-pegged assets for protection while Bitcoin and altcoins experienced heavy liquidation pressure across the market.
That spike above 14% marked one of the highest stablecoin dominance readings of the cycle and coincided closely with the period of maximum fear and forced selling. Historically, rising stablecoin dominance tends to reflect defensive positioning, as traders reduce exposure to volatile assets and hold liquidity in stablecoins while waiting for clearer market conditions.
Since March, however, the structure has started to reverse. Stablecoin dominance has fallen back below the 50-day moving average and is now testing the 100-day moving average near the 12% region. That decline suggests part of the sidelined capital that accumulated during the correction is gradually re-entering the market.
At the same time, dominance remains well above the levels seen during peak speculative phases in previous bull cycles. This indicates that a large amount of liquidity still remains parked in stablecoins rather than aggressively chasing risk.

However, one crypto analyst is warning that the monthly chart may still be telling a different story, with Bitcoin’s past bear-market structures pointing to more downside before a price bottom.
The analysis, shared on X, is based on a simple pattern: Bitcoin has not formed its major bear-market bottom in recent cycles until it printed nine red monthly candles.
The Bottom Call May Be Too Early
The analysis, which was posted on X by a crypto market commentator, looks at a monthly candlestick pattern visible on Bitcoin&#8217;s long-term price chart. The observation is that Bitcoin has never established a bear market bottom before printing nine consecutive red monthly candles.
The first trend of nine consecutive red monthly candles can be seen in the 2018 cycle. Starting from the January 2018 peak that followed Bitcoin&#8217;s first major mainstream rally, the cryptocurrency printed nine consecutive red monthly candles before finding its bottom around $3,200 in December of that year. 
The 2022 cycle repeated the sequence with near-identical precision. From the November 2021 all-time high, Bitcoin closed nine straight red monthly candles before bottoming around $15,500 in November 2022, a decline of about 77%.
Bitcoin reached its current all-time high of $126,080 on October 6, 2025, before the monthly candle that followed closed in the red. That bearish sequence continued through February, giving the analyst’s red-candle theory some weight. However, the structure has since started to change, with Bitcoin closing March and April in the green. May is also on track to produce another green monthly candle, although it is still too early to tell.
What Does This Mean For Bitcoin?
This outlook does not mean Bitcoin must copy its past cycle candle-for-candle. However, the pattern is being used as a warning against assuming very early that the current bounce above $80,000 is the start of a new bull phase. Bitcoin still needs to register weekly closes above some levels before the price action can be called the start of a new bull phase. It&#8217;s just a theory. But it&#8217;s happened twice in a row.
That view also aligns with the broader market mood. Bitcoin has recently climbed back above $80,000, but the recovery has not been strong enough to erase caution from the market. It also matches other technical outlooks from crypto analysts who argue that Bitcoin bear markets usually take about a year to fully play out before a durable bottom is formed. 
Based on that reading, the current corrective price action may still extend further, possibly stretching into Q4 2026 before Bitcoin finds a stronger long-term floor.

The markup session will determine whether the most comprehensive digital asset legislation in American history advances toward a full Senate floor vote — or returns to negotiation. What is happening in the days before that vote is as significant as the vote itself.
Crypto America host Eleanor Terret has reported a development that reveals the intensity of the lobbying battle now unfolding in Washington. Since last Friday, members of the American Bankers Association have sent more than 8,000 letters to Senate offices urging lawmakers to fix the stablecoin yield compromise embedded in the bill&#8217;s current draft. The effort is focused and coordinated — Terret noted on X that the campaign does not include a separate phone call effort, meaning the letter volume alone represents the banking industry&#8217;s current pressure strategy.
The target of that pressure is specific. The stablecoin yield provisions in the CLARITY Act would restrict issuers, exchanges, custodians, and wallet providers from offering deposit-like yield products — the &#8220;earn 3% to 5% just by holding USDC&#8221; model that has drawn millions of users into stablecoin products. Banks, who would benefit structurally from those restrictions, are pushing to ensure the final language holds.
Thursday&#8217;s vote will reveal whether 8,000 letters were enough.
The Amendments That Will Define Thursday&#8217;s Vote — and the Industry&#8217;s Next Decade
The pre-markup maneuvering has produced a series of amendments that reveal exactly where the fault lines are. Political and financial journalist Brendan Pedersen reports that Senators Reed of Rhode Island and Smith of Minnesota have filed an amendment that will force a direct choice between the crypto industry and the banking sector, specifically by incorporating the banks&#8217; preferred changes to the stablecoin yield restrictions. The 8,000 letters from American Bankers Association members appear to have found legislative form.
Eleanor Terret has identified additional amendments that extend the battlefield considerably further. A Reed amendment would prohibit crypto from being used as legal tender — including for tax payments. The provision arrives as a pointed counter to a bill introduced last year by Representative Davidson that would have enabled Bitcoin to be used for exactly that purpose.
The most aggressive set comes from Senator Warren, who has filed more than 40 amendments ahead of Thursday&#8217;s markup. The most consequential would prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing master accounts to crypto companies — a restriction that would effectively close one of the most significant pathways toward crypto firms gaining direct access to the US banking system.
Thursday&#8217;s markup session is no longer simply a vote on the CLARITY Act as written. It is a live negotiation between competing visions of what role crypto will be permitted to play in American financial life — with amendments designed to draw lines that, once drawn, will be extremely difficult to redraw.
Crypto Market Reclaims $2.6 Trillion As Recovery Structure Strengthens
The total crypto market cap is trading near $2.68 trillion after recovering sharply from the February correction lows that briefly pushed the market close to the $2.2 trillion region. The chart shows that the broader crypto market has stabilized considerably during the last several weeks, with buyers successfully reclaiming several important technical levels that now define the current recovery structure.
One of the most important developments is the market’s ability to move back above the 200-week moving average, currently near the $2.55 trillion area. Historically, this level has acted as a major long-term trend indicator separating expansion phases from deeper corrective environments. Holding above it suggests that the broader market structure is transitioning away from capitulation conditions and back toward accumulation.
At the same time, the market remains below the declining 50-week moving average near $3 trillion and the 100-week moving average around $3.2 trillion. Those overhead levels continue to represent major resistance zones that buyers still need to overcome before confirming a broader bullish continuation.
Volume has also declined significantly compared to the panic-driven activity seen during the February selloff. That reduction suggests forced selling has largely cooled, but it also indicates that aggressive new capital inflows have not fully returned yet.

At the same time, the ETH network is demonstrating robust performance as transaction activity sees a steady increase across the blockchain.
Growing Network Strength Pushes Ethereum Back Into Focus
Ethereum’s recent upward momentum in the past few days is not only seen in its price action. This renewed strength is being observed across the ETH ecosystem as the network’s performance surges, which is triggering fresh momentum in the market.
During the period, there has been rising transaction activity, stronger on-chain engagement, and continued growth in key sectors that appear to be strengthening investors’ conviction in the network’s long-term value.
After examining the ETH chart in the monthly time frame, Leon Waidmann, a market expert and head of research at Lisk, revealed that the altcoin is currently exhibiting a trend that has caught the attention of the market. The chart shows a three-year sideways consolidation in a clean range supported by a breakout. Specifically, the momentum indicator at the bottom just broke out of its multi-year base. 
ETH has been ranging since 2023, and building energy at the base of the structure. After a period of building strength, the altcoin has broken above the multi-year resistance, which has created a classic accumulation before a major move. 
Consolidation phases are sometimes a positive reaction as they can precede upside movement. Waidmann noted that the longer the consolidation phase, the bigger the move out of it will be. What makes this period interesting is the increased network performance that is coinciding with the current momentum.
As stated by the expert, over 7.33 million ETH, representing 6% of all ETH supply, are locked on corporate balance sheets. Furthermore, inflation across the ETH ecosystem is currently lower than that of Bitcoin since the introduction of the Merge update.  Other significant achievements include the surge in transactions on the ETH mainnet and layer 2 solutions, reaching new all-time highs. “The fundamentals are catching up, and the chart is setting up,” Waidmann added.
ETH Dominating DeFi And Lending
Etherealize has shared a recent report from Galaxy Research regarding Ethereum. In the report, the platform’s VP Research noted that ETH’s TVL market share has held remarkably steady at roughly 55% to 60% since mid-2022. The ETH network is witnessing notable liquidity, reinforcing its dominance in lending and DeFi. 
This is due to the depth of its collateral markets, oracle infrastructure, and surviving multiple market crashes. Such development leads to the creation of a trust premium that newer chains cannot quickly replicate, particularly for the largest allocators whose risk tolerance is the lowest.
Also, stablecoin issuance on the network has skyrocketed to 50% of all stablecoin market cap, and over 60% of all tokenized real-world assets are issued on ETH. According to the platform, this is possibly some of the stickiest capital on Ethereum because institutional RWA issuers select a chain after months of legal examination, custodian integration, and compliance sign-off.

Despite also being a blue-chip cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP is currently trading at a level where anyone can buy large amounts of tokens without significantly altering their personal finances. While buying one Bitcoin costs over $80,000 and one Ethereum about $2,300 as of writing, XRP’s price is just $1.4 per coin. This low price gives investors more opportunity to accumulate significantly as they prepare for a potential price surge.  
Why XRP Won’t Be Cheap Forever
In an X post on Monday, crypto market analyst BarriC issued a pointed warning to investors, stating that the window to buy XRP at “cheap” prices may be closing faster than most realize. His argument hinges on a fundamental market shift he sees coming for the altcoin. 
According to the analyst, right now, the altcoin is largely traded as a retail asset, meaning its price is driven primarily by everyday investors&#8217; speculation about its movements and value. However, BarriC believes that that dynamic will likely change soon. 
The analyst noted that as XRP becomes an integral part of the global financial infrastructure, covering cross-border payments, institutional settlements, and interbank transfers, demand for the asset will no longer come from just retail investors. Instead, it will be driven by global banks, financial institutions, and payment networks that need XRP to function. 
Once that shift takes place, BarriC believes that the altcoin will be forced to reprice at significantly higher levels, reflecting its utility within the global financial system rather than its current status as a speculative token. From there, the analyst sees the token easily climbing to potential price targets somewhere in the $1,000 to $10,000 range. He has set an even more ambitious projection at around $50,000, which would represent more than half of BTC’s current price of roughly $80,000. 
After this happens, BarriC says it would be “game over” for investors who failed to buy the crypto at lower prices. He noted that once it reaches these levels, it will never be “cheap” again.
Whales Continue Buying And Holding
New reports from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment show that whale wallets on the XRP Ledger have now reached an all-time high. This shows that more whales are holding the token, suggesting increased accumulation at lower price levels. 
Analysts at Santiment noted that about 332,230 wallets now hold at least 10,000 XRP, extending the sustained growth trend that has been building since June 2024. They said that this consistent increase in whale wallets shows that large-scale investors have continued to buy and hold even during periods of volatility, price declines, and negative market sentiment. 
Additionally, their accumulation behavior shows they prefer to buy during periods of fear, likely taking advantage of lower prices to increase their positions ahead of a possible bullish reversal.

How Iran Moves Money Through Crypto
The map centers on two Tron-based wallets that were added to the US Treasury&#8217;s Specially Designated Nationals list on April 24. Treasury identified both addresses as property of Bank Markazi Jomhouri Islami Iran — the country&#8217;s central bank — citing ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force and Hezbollah.
Around $344 million in crypto was frozen as part of the action, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, describing the goal as cutting off Tehran&#8217;s ability to generate, move, and bring home funds.
Stablecoin issuer Tether confirmed it had frozen the funds at the request of US authorities, citing activity tied to unlawful conduct, without naming Iran directly in its public statement.
Arkham published its research on May 11, grouping the sanctioned addresses under a Central Bank of Iran entity page that it says can be used as a starting point to trace connected wallets and transaction flows.
The firm said the wallets hold TRC-20 tokens — a token standard that runs on the Tron network and includes USDT, the world&#8217;s largest stablecoin.
A Layered System Built To Hide
The money trail is not simple. According to Chainalysis, Iranian oil revenues passed through brokers, intermediary wallets, cross-chain bridges, and decentralized finance protocols before ending up in accounts linked to Iran&#8217;s central bank and IRGC-connected entities. The pipeline was built for concealment, layered step by step to obscure its origins.
A TRON spokesperson said the network itself cannot monitor or block individual transactions, but pointed to the T3 Financial Crime Unit — a joint effort between TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs launched in 2024 — as its main tool for flagging abuse.
The unit works with law enforcement to freeze hundreds of millions in funds tied to sanctioned groups and terrorism financing, the spokesperson said. Tether declined to comment separately.
Iran&#8217;s Crypto Activity Runs Deep
The exposed wallets are just one piece of a much larger picture. Based on estimates from TRM Labs and Chainalysis, Iran&#8217;s total crypto transaction volume reached roughly $11.4 billion in 2024 and $10 billion in 2025.
Meanwhile, Iran is said to be looking into charging crypto-denominated tolls to ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz — a sign that digital assets are being considered as a revenue channel well beyond sanctions evasion.

However, years later, the cryptocurrency has become a major target for large firms, acquiring the asset at a significant rate.
Institutional Bitcoin Holdings Reach New Scale
Despite being labeled as a highly volatile asset, Bitcoin continues to see major interest and adoption across the dynamic cryptocurrency sector. One interesting part about this development is the notable interest from big firms in the crypto and financial sectors, who steadily purchased the leading asset.
Over the years, institutional participation in Bitcoin has grown significantly, turning the asset from a specialized digital experiment into a well-known part of contemporary financial portfolios. This accumulation by corporations, asset managers, and financial institutions points to growing conviction in the asset as a reliable store of value and a strategic financial asset. 
After years of steady accumulation, On-Chain Mind, a crypto data analyst on X, reported that the institutional Bitcoin stack has now reached a staggering 3.24 million BTC, valued at approximately $261.2 billion at current price levels. According to the expert, this BTC stash is equivalent to almost the entire new issuance of BTC in the last 20 years.
As seen in the chart, the Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) hold about 1.39 million BTC, reflecting around 42.9% of the entire holdings of institutions. Furthermore, Corporate firms hold 1.23 million BTC, representing 38.0% of the institutional stack. Meanwhile, approximately 619,500 BTC, which marks over 19.1% of the stash, is being held by Sovereigns.
According to On-Chain Mind, this stash is expected to grow higher than this in the next few years. A few years ago, the expert highlighted that the institutions had zero BTC in their portfolios, which strengthens its prediction about additional growth. This sudden adoption by institutional investors demonstrates Bitcoin’s evolution from a risk asset people rent to a reserve asset people fight to own across the sector.
Key Stakeholders Are Buying More BTC
Santiment, a leading on-chain data analytics platform, has outlined a renewed accumulation trend among key stakeholders amid growing momentum. While BTC’s price stayed above the $80,000 mark despite the unexpected CPI report, these investors were observed buying more BTC consistently as retail holders started to exhibit signs of hesitance. This was part of the reason that BTC was able to maintain its newfound upward move.
In the report, it was seen that wallet addresses holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC have scooped up over 16,622 BTC, representing an increase of +0.12%. Meanwhile, those holding less than 0.01 BTC have dumped 28 BTC; a drop of -0.05%.
Large stakeholder persistently adding to their bags while store displays FUD are excellent conditions for any coin, making this bullish for BTC in the short term. During most of crypto’s bull markets, this 10-10,000 BTC group has played a major role in igniting pumps while prices move opposite to retail expectations.

Ledger Reassesses NYSE IPO Bid
For Ledger, the decision reflects a broader reassessment of how receptive investors are right now toward crypto listings. The French-based hardware wallet provider said it is “reassessing its public market plans as volatile conditions weigh on investor appetite for crypto IPOs.” 
That shift comes after months of speculation about Ledger’s listing strategy, which reportedly began circulating last November. At the time, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier told the Financial Times that the company was considering either a New York IPO or a private funding round in 2026.
That discussion later became more specific. In January, the Financial Times reported that Ledger was exploring a potential $4 billion IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), with major investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays involved as part of the underwriting process. 
Crypto IPO Wave Stalls
Consensys’ move follows a similar pattern. The MetaMask developer has also delayed its planned US IPO, signaling that weakness in the market for crypto-company listings continues to weigh on even established firms. 
CoinDesk reported Wednesday that Consensys pushed back its IPO timetable to at least this fall. The company had previously selected JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs as underwriters for the offering.
Ledger and Consensys are not acting in isolation. Their announcement comes after crypto exchange Kraken also paused its high-profile IPO plans after a concerning first-quarter for the broader crypto market, halting a move which had been described as targeting $20 billion for the year.

This comes as BTC struggles again to hold above the psychological $80,000, with experts predicting another imminent decline. 
Bitcoin Bear Market Rules As To When The Bear Market May End
In an X post, Bee stated that Bitcoin has three rules in a bear market. First, he noted that the bear market lasts at least 350 days. The analyst also mentioned that the bottom never forms without touching the MA 350, and lastly, the price always drops further than anyone expects. Based on this, he suggested that the bear market is yet to end despite BTC’s recent relief rally. 
His accompanying chart showed that BTC could still drop to around $46,000 before a bottom forms for Bitcoin in this bear market. The analyst also noted that the 350-day moving average is at $47,000, and that level remains untouched. However, Bee remarked that the good news is that the leading crypto is already 65% of the way through the bear cycle. 
For now, the analyst expects another downtrend, with Bitcoin potentially reaching new lows. Bee noted that there are too many things working against this bullish momentum at the moment, which is why he is confident that the leading crypto will still drop further. He declared that the flush is coming and that when the MA 350 gets tagged, he will flip bullish. 
His analysis comes amid Bitcoin’s recent rally above $80,000, with BTC reaching $82,000 over the weekend. However, the leading crypto is now struggling to stay above this level, falling below $80,000 yesterday on the back of the hot CPI inflation data. U.S.-Iran peace talks have also stalled, which puts BTC at risk of another decline. 
Analyst Open To The Bottom Being In
Crypto pundit Colin, who had previously predicted another downtrend for Bitcoin, said he is more open to the idea that the bottom is in than he was a month ago. However, if that is the case, the analyst opined that BTC is still likely to retest the range lows between $60,000 and $70,000 later this year. 
On the other hand, Colin also said he is open to the idea that the cycle bottom isn’t in yet and that BTC could see lower prices toward the end of the year. He noted that the logic is that the longer BTC trades sideways or higher, the less the odds are of a lower bear market floor.
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $81,200, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

According to the analyst, ETH is already laying the groundwork for this potential surge, with recurring historical patterns backing its bullish structure. Once Ethereum begins a bull run, Sykodelic believes that the cryptocurrency could gain enough momentum to trigger the long-anticipated altcoin season. 
Ethereum Price Rally Contingent On Bitcoin Breakout
Sykodelic believes that Ethereum is setting the stage for a new bull run that could push its price back toward the $4,000 range. In an X post dated May 11, the analyst shared a detailed analysis and an accompanying chart outlining conditions that could drive ETH to that level, and why Bitcoin’s next movements will be the critical trigger. 
According to the analyst, Ethereum’s price surge has yet to begin precisely because Bitcoin continues to lead the crypto market. He noted that only after BTC completes its “structure changing move,” will ETH have a real opportunity to rally.
That context matters, given Bitcoin’s recent market performance. Since early April, BTC has been on a steady upward rally, with its latest surge pushing its price to around $82,000. The flagship cryptocurrency has been outperforming the broader market for months, driven by strong demand from derivative traders, easing macroeconomic conditions, and sustained accumulation from institutions like Strategy. 
With that in mind, once Bitcoin concludes its current breakout phase or undergoes a meaningful trend shift, money and momentum will likely rotate into Ethereum, allowing ETH to begin its own major rally. Sykodelic reinforced this view by pointing to a chart pattern he has tracked over the past five years. 
According to him, during that period, Ethereum has consistently traded within a well-defined range marked by repeated deviations and reclaims. Notably, each of these range cycles took 70-77 days to complete. 
The analyst explained that each time Ethereum broke out of this range and reclaimed its structure, the cryptocurrency staged a strong rally back toward the range highs or lows. Given the current chart structure, Sykodelic believes ETH may once again be mirroring this historical pattern and, if so, another move toward range highs could now be in play. 
ETH’s Surge To $4,000 Could Ignite The Next Altcoin Run
In his analysis, Sykodelic pointed to Ethereum’s weekly Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) as further confirmation of the repeating historical chart structure. He noted that ETH is now back within the same range that led to new highs in past cycles and has been solidifying its position over the past 77 days as it prepares to move higher. 
Should Ethereum push back toward range highs around $4,093, Sykodelic believes that surge could serve as the catalyst for the next altcoin run. He stated that this long-awaited altcoin season could last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. He also acknowledged that the rally may be slow, but expressed confidence that it will inevitably begin.

Speaking at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Trump declared that Bitcoin is currently in its greatest period ever, pointing to what he described as a transformational shift in the past six months relative to the prior three years — driven by record ETF launches, corporate treasury adoption, and major banks now offering Bitcoin-backed financial products.
The declaration arrived not as an outside observer but as the operating executive of one of the most closely watched Bitcoin treasury companies in the nascent sector.
The Structural Advantage ABTC Claims Over Strategy
The core distinction Eric Trump and Asher Genoot, Executive Chair of American Bitcoin&#8217;s board, have drawn between ABTC and Strategy is architectural. Strategy accumulates Bitcoin exclusively through capital markets — equity offerings, convertible notes, and debt instruments — and then purchases Bitcoin on the open market. American Bitcoin mines it first.
Through its majority owner and infrastructure partner Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq: HUT), which contributed the vast majority of its Bitcoin mining ASICs in exchange for an 80% stake in the venture, ABTC acquires Bitcoin at what it describes as a discounted rate relative to spot market purchases, per Benzinga&#8217;s reporting on the company&#8217;s positioning. The framework combines active mining output — currently delivering an estimated eight to ten BTC daily through Hut 8&#8217;s facilities — with a dollar cost averaging strategy and a strict policy of retaining rather than liquidating mined coins to cover operating costs.
The company describes the result as the &#8220;absolute accumulation machine&#8221; — a structure where every operational dollar spent on mining generates Bitcoin that flows directly into the treasury rather than being sold to fund the next cycle of production, per American Bitcoin&#8217;s own promotional materials.
The Numbers Behind The Claim
The strategy has produced measurable results. American Bitcoin reported a Bitcoin yield of approximately 116% from its September 2025 Nasdaq debut through late January 2026 — a metric measuring growth in Bitcoin holdings from mined or purchased coins, calculated separately from capital raising activity. The company&#8217;s holdings stood at 6,899 BTC, valued at approximately $474 million, making it the 16th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, per Bitcointreasuries.net data cited by Benzinga.
In March 2026, ABTC expanded its mining fleet with the purchase of 11,298 additional ASIC miners, increasing capacity by approximately 12% and adding roughly 3.05 EH/s to its hashrate. The miners were deployed at its Drumheller facility in Alberta, Canada.
Strategy, by comparison, held 818,334 BTC valued at approximately $61.81 billion as of the end of Q1 2026, per CNBC — a gap that makes ABTC&#8217;s rivalry claim aspirational rather than imminent. But the strategic logic Eric Trump is articulating — that mining-integrated accumulation generates Bitcoin at a structural cost advantage over open-market purchases — represents a genuinely differentiated model within the corporate treasury landscape.
This development marks a pivotal moment for Bitcoin treasury competition in the nascent sector. Whether American Bitcoin&#8217;s mining-to-treasury pipeline can close the gap with Strategy&#8217;s scale advantage will depend on Bitcoin&#8217;s price trajectory, mining economics, and ABTC&#8217;s ability to expand its hashrate faster than difficulty adjusts — a race that is only just beginning.
As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at around $81,500, with American Bitcoin&#8217;s treasury now holding nearly 7,000 BTC as the company continues its stated mission of disciplined accumulation at every price level.

Bitcoin Retail Investor Demand Change Has Surged To +4%
In a new post on X, CryptoQuant author Axel Adler Jr has talked about the latest trend in the 30-day change of the Retail Investor Demand for Bitcoin. This indicator measures, as its name suggests, the degree of demand for the network that&#8217;s coming from retail traders.
Retail investors refer to the smallest of entities on the network who don&#8217;t tend to have any notable number of tokens in their wallet balance. As a proxy for their demand, the indicator makes use of the amount of transaction activity that they are participating in.
Naturally, the transfers made by this group are usually quite small in scale, so the metric specifically tracks the transfer volume associated with transactions involving a value of less than $10,000.
Below is the chart shared by Adler Jr that shows the trend in the 30-day change of the Bitcoin Retail Investor Demand over the last few years.
As is visible in the graph, the Bitcoin Retail Investor Demand saw its 30-day change collapse deep into the negative zone back in March. This means that retail traders shifted their attention away from the cryptocurrency.
Since then, however, the metric has climbed its way back up, with its value returning back into the green zone recently. Earlier, the indicator dropped to -8.2%, but this recovery has meant that it&#8217;s now sitting at +4.38%, a notable swing.
While this indicates a relative improvement in retail mood compared to one month ago, the analyst noted that full participation from the cohort has still not returned, with the transaction volume sitting at levels lower than February. It now remains to be seen whether the 30-day change in the Bitcoin Retail Investor Demand will continue its recent trajectory in the near future and if small investors will start pouring back into the asset in full force.
In some other news, the recent price recovery has led to an improvement in the situation of the short-term holders (STH), as analyst Maartunn has pointed out in an X post. The STHs refer to the BTC investors who purchased their tokens within the past 155 days.
Previously, these investors saw the vast majority of their supply dip into losses as Bitcoin went through its drawdown. As the below chart shows, though, the percentage of the STH supply in loss has dropped to just 38% after the recent price rally.
BTC Price

The new JPMorgan OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund will offer Token Class shares under the ticker JLTXX, according to a registration filing for JPMorgan Trust IV.
The filing positions the product as a government money market fund seeking current income while maintaining liquidity and stability of principal. Its Token Class carries a 0.16% net expense ratio after fee waivers and reimbursements, with gross annual operating expenses listed at 0.71%. Those waivers are scheduled to remain in effect through June 30, 2028, unless renewed or revised.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas framed the fee structure as a notable part of the launch. “JPMorgan filed for a tokenized money market fund,” he wrote on X. “Big deal bc JPM inching further into crypto and big deal bc fee is pretty low 16bps for a stable NAV (imposs to do in ETF). Cheaper than most money funds altho Vanguard’s is like 11bps.”
JPMorgan Taps Ethereum For Tokenized Treasury Fund
The fund’s strategy is conservative by design. Under normal conditions, it will invest exclusively in US Treasury bills, bonds and notes, along with overnight repurchase agreements fully collateralized by Treasury securities and/or cash. JPMorgan says the fund will seek to maintain a $1.00 NAV, buy only Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 93 days or less, keep dollar-weighted average maturity at 60 days or less, and invest only in US dollar-denominated securities.

The crypto relevance sits less in the portfolio and more in the rail. The filing says the fund will use blockchain technology to let investors submit transaction instructions for fund shares, while the official record of ownership remains the transfer agent’s traditional book-entry register. Token balances attributed to an investor’s blockchain address are intended to correspond one-for-one with fund shares, but JPMorgan makes clear that the Investor Register, not the blockchain balance, is determinative for legal ownership.
That structure reflects the institutional compromise now forming around tokenization: public-chain connectivity, but within controlled market infrastructure. JPMorgan says the blockchain system is designed, deployed and maintained by Kinexys Digital Assets, a business unit within JPMorgan Chase Bank. The system runs as a permissioned framework on top of public blockchains, requiring approved wallet addresses and allow-listing before investors can purchase, redeem or transfer token balances.
Ethereum is currently the only blockchain available for investors, though the filing says expansion to other blockchains is anticipated: “The Ethereum blockchain, a public blockchain network, is currently the only available blockchain for use by investors, although expansion to other blockchains is anticipated in the future.”
That detail drew attention from CEO and co-founder of Etherealize Vivek Raman who wrote via X: “Five months after MONY, JP Morgan is launching a second tokenized money market fund — on the biggest, most institutional public blockchain: Ethereum. Blackrock and JPM issuing on Ethereum in the same week…”
BlackRock is preparing two tokenized money-market funds aimed at investors holding cash in stablecoins, including a digital share class tied to the roughly $6.1 billion BlackRock Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund. After the success of BUIDL, those tokenized shares are also set to run on Ethereum alongside traditional share classes, reinforcing the chain’s role as the preferred public settlement venue for a growing set of institutional cash-management products.
At press time, Ethereum traded at $2,303.

This marked the sixth consecutive week of positive flows and the strongest weekly total since April 24, according to CoinShares&#8217; latest Digital Asset Fund Flows report — a streak that analysts are increasingly reading as a structural reset in institutional demand rather than a temporary bounce.
The weekly figure represents a more than sevenfold increase over the prior week&#8217;s $117.8 million, per CoinShares&#8217; data, underscoring how sharply sentiment shifted as Bitcoin climbed back above the $80,000 threshold. Total assets under management across digital asset investment products rose to $160 billion on the back of the inflows, according to the report.
Bitcoin Leads, But The Breadth Is Notable
Bitcoin products captured the dominant share of last week&#8217;s flows, attracting $706.1 million and bringing year-to-date inflows to $4.9 billion, per CoinShares. The directional shift extended well beyond Bitcoin. Ethereum products recorded $77.1 million in inflows, reversing the prior week&#8217;s $81.6 million outflow. Solana drew $47.6 million. XRP products attracted $39.6 million.
The breadth of positive flows across major assets signals a broader improvement in institutional risk appetite rather than Bitcoin-specific positioning, per the report&#8217;s geographic and asset-level breakdown. Short-Bitcoin products — instruments used to bet against the asset — posted their largest outflow of 2026, according to CoinShares, a signal that bearish institutional positioning is unwinding alongside the inflow surge.
The US Led, But Europe Held Firm
Geographically, the United States dominated with $776.6 million in inflows, recovering sharply from $47.5 million the prior week, per CoinShares. Germany followed at $50.6 million, Switzerland at $21.1 million, and the Netherlands at $5 million — a distribution that, according to analysis by TradingNews, points to European institutional participation holding steady even as Washington&#8217;s regulatory progression has emerged as the dominant catalyst driving sentiment.
Laser Digital&#8217;s derivatives desk attributed Bitcoin&#8217;s move above $80,000 to the combination of ETF inflows, anticipated purchases by digital asset treasury companies, and growing optimism surrounding a compromise on the CLARITY Act related to stablecoins, as reported by Bloomingbit citing market commentary from the week.
Six consecutive weeks of positive inflows into crypto investment products marks a pivotal shift in the nascent sector&#8217;s institutional demand profile. Whether the streak extends into a sustained re-rating of crypto as an institutional asset class — or fades as macro uncertainty reasserts itself — the $857.9 million weekly figure is the kind of number that makes it increasingly difficult for traditional allocators still sitting on the sidelines to justify staying there.

The amendment rush puts stablecoin rewards, crypto firms’ access to the Federal Reserve system and even the use of digital assets for tax payments at the center of Washington’s latest fight over crypto regulation.
According to Politico, committee members submitted more than 100 amendments before the markup vote. Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that Senator Elizabeth Warren alone filed more than 40 amendments, including one that would prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing master accounts to crypto companies. Terrett also flagged an amendment from Senator Jack Reed that would “prohibit crypto from being used as legal tender, for example, to pay taxes.”
That language would cut directly against one of the industry’s longer-running policy goals: expanding digital assets beyond investment and trading into payments, settlement and public-sector use cases. Terrett noted the contrast with prior pro-Bitcoin tax-payment proposals, writing that Representative Warren Davidson had introduced a bill last year “to do that very thing” with BTC.
Crypto Bill Enters High-Stakes Senate Markup
The latest clash comes after Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott, Senator Cynthia Lummis and Senator Thom Tillis released new market structure text that will serve as the basis for the committee markup. The committee said the text reflects negotiations with Democrats and input from lawmakers, regulators, law enforcement, financial institutions, innovators and consumer advocates. Scott framed the bill as a consumer-protection and national-competitiveness measure.
“Over the past year, we have listened, negotiated, and strengthened this bill because families, small businesses, investors, and innovators all benefit from clear rules of the road,” Scott said. “This bill reflects serious, good-faith work across the Committee and delivers the certainty, safeguards, and accountability Americans deserve.”
The most immediate fault line remains stablecoin rewards. The Senate text would ban rewards on idle stablecoin balances that closely resemble bank deposits, while allowing rewards tied to transaction-based activity, such as stablecoin payments. The SEC, CFTC and Treasury Department would be tasked with issuing joint rules to implement that provision.
Banks are not satisfied. Brendan Pedersen reported that Reed and Senator Tina Smith filed an amendment that would incorporate bank-requested changes to stablecoin yield restrictions, forcing lawmakers to choose between the crypto and banking industries. The amendment would target rewards “substantially similar” to deposit interest, a phrase that goes to the core of the banking lobby’s argument: that crypto platforms should not be allowed to compete with deposits through yield-like incentives while avoiding bank-style regulation.
Terrett reported separately that American Bankers Association members had sent more than 8,000 letters to Senate offices urging lawmakers to revise the stablecoin-yield compromise. The ABA has argued that the current language does not adequately close what it calls a loophole allowing exchanges and other digital asset service providers to bypass the GENIUS Act’s ban on interest or yield on payment stablecoins.
The bill also reaches well beyond stablecoins. Digital commodity exchanges, brokers and dealers would be treated as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, bringing them into anti-money-laundering, customer-identification and due-diligence regimes. The text would also allow crypto companies to raise up to $50 million annually, and up to $200 million total, without SEC registration, while clarifying that tokenized securities remain subject to securities law.
The political path is still fragile. Terrett said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared engaged in a Democratic member meeting and eager for members to reach a “yes” on the CLARITY Act, but stressed that ethics negotiations needed to move further before Thursday’s markup. Warren, the committee’s top Democrat, has been pressing that issue hard, saying the bill “puts investors, our national security and our entire financial system at risk” and would “turbocharge Donald Trump’s crypto corruption” without stronger conflict-of-interest provisions.
At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $2.67 trillion.

Sejm To Debate Crypto Legislation, Total Ban Proposals
On Tuesday, the Sejm, the lower chamber of the Polish parliament, began reviewing various bills to regulate the crypto market in Poland, following lawmakers’ failure to overturn President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of earlier legislation on the sector.
Ahead of the session, the Law and Justice (PiS) withdrew its crypto market bill after four of the party’s MPs pulled their support, and submitted a new bill pushing a total ban on digital asset-related activities in the country.
According to local reports, Sejm Speaker Włodzimierz Czarzasty criticized PiS’s shift, calling the change “astonishing” as the party’s proposal was scheduled for its first reading this week, and one of the bills to be reviewed today was filed by President Nawrocki, whom the party backs.
The other crypto bills submitted to the Sejm include proposals from the government and opposition parties Poland 2050 and Confederation.
The government and presidential bills are broadly similar, the report noted, with the primary differences being the Financial Supervision Authority’s power to freeze crypto accounts and the scale of fines for individuals who commit fraud.
While the Ministry of Finance&#8217;s draft proposes a maximum penalty of PLN 25 million, or $6.9 million, for obstructing inspections, the president’s text sets it at PLN 20 million, or $4.5 million.
Czarzasty revealed that the four bills concerning crypto market legislation will be reviewed and debated this week, and the PiS ban proposal will be considered after the process for the other bills is completed. The second reading of the bills is scheduled for Thursday, May 14.
“So the first decision is as follows: first, we will proceed with the four bills entering the Sejm today; once the legislative process for these bills is complete, we will proceed with the PiS parliamentary club’s bill, provided the club does not withdraw it,” the Sejm Speaker stated.
Zondacrypto Controversy Fuels Veto Debate
Czarzasty also renewed questions about the recent Zondacrypto controversy, including its alleged links to Polish political parties and Russian organized crime, and pressed for an explanation as to why President Nawrocki vetoed the Crypto-Asset Market Act twice.
For context, Prime Minister Donald Tusk accused crypto firm Zondacrypto of being backed by Russian money and having sponsored lawmakers who opposed digital asset regulation.
Ahead of the failed vote to overturn Nawrocki&#8217;s veto of the law last month, Tusk claimed that the blocking of regulations by some Polish politicians signaled they were serving the interests of the company.
Tusk affirmed that the firm “sponsors political and social events in Poland and promotes very specific political forces,” including by financing politicians from PiS and Confederation parties. He also claimed that the president was fully aware of Zondacrypto’s situation when he vetoed the proposed regulations.
However, Zbigniew Bogucki, head of the president’s office, responded to the accusations, asserting that Nawrocki was not opposing Poland’s digital asset market regulation, but that the government had proposed a “flawed” regulatory model.
As reported by Bitcoinist, the president’s office had stated that the president was trying to prevent “overregulation” and abuse of the “legal mess” proposed by the Polish government.
Sławomir Mentzen, leader of the Confederation party, said the new legislation would have “destroyed the Polish cryptocurrency market.” Similarly, Polish economist Krzysztof Piech praised the president’s decision, affirming that it “violated the Polish Constitution and was contrary to the EU regulation it was supposed to implement in Poland.”

A Violent Scheme With A Simple Disguise
Elijah Armstrong, Nino Chindavanh, and Jayden Rucker allegedly posed as delivery drivers to get inside their targets&#8217; homes. Once in, they used threats of violence to force victims to hand over their crypto seed phrases — the recovery keys that grant full access to a digital wallet.
According to the Justice Department, the attacks took place between November 22 and December 31 last year across the Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area. Prosecutors identified at least four people targeted during that period.
One victim was forced to transfer $6.5 million in cryptocurrency to a wallet controlled by the group. That figure represents the bulk of what prosecutors say was stolen during the entire campaign.
Craig Missakian, the US Attorney for the Northern District of California, did not mince words. &#8220;These individuals, as alleged, terrorized their victims in the hopes of stealing vast sums of cryptocurrency,&#8221; he said in a statement Monday. &#8220;The scheme was not only sophisticated, it was brazen, violent, and dangerous.&#8221;

Physical Attacks On Crypto Owners Are Rising
The three men were arrested in December. Armstrong and Rucker are scheduled to appear in court Tuesday. Chindavanh is set to appear June 26. All three face charges of conspiracy to commit robbery, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, attempted robbery, and attempted kidnapping.
Reports from blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs indicate that attacks like these have grown more common because personal data is easier than ever to find online.
Crypto wrench attacks are turning digital wealth into a real-world target. Image: Yahoo News
The public nature of crypto wealth — visible on-chain to anyone who knows where to look — combined with the perceived anonymity of transactions has made holders attractive targets for criminals willing to use force.
The California cases are not isolated. French authorities charged 88 people in April in connection with similar attacks on cryptocurrency owners in that country.
Seed Phrases And The Limits Of Digital Security
Physical attacks of this kind expose a gap that no encryption can fix. A seed phrase, once spoken under duress, hands over complete control of a wallet with no way to reverse a transfer after the fact. The indictment, filed in federal court in San Francisco, was unsealed Monday.

In a letter that warned senators the measure could put retirement security at risk, multiple unions argued the legislation would introduce new instability into retirement plans for workers who have little control over how their savings are managed.
Labor Unions Raise Alarm On CLARITY Act
According to CNBC, a letter and email first seen by the network show the AFL-CIO, along with the Service Employees International Union, American Federation of Teachers, National Education Association, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees sent a message to every senator on Friday. 
The unions said the legislation “jeopardizes the stability of workers&#8217; retirement plans, including public pensions, and introduces significant volatility to retirement savings accounts.” 
They also warned that the bill encourages the crypto industry to take “outsized risks,” arguing that if those bets fail, the costs would fall on working people and retirees rather than on crypto executives or wealthy investors.
The AFL-CIO also reportedly sent an additional email to members of the Senate Banking Committee on Friday. In that message, the union argued that without “sufficient regulation,” embedding cryptocurrencies and other digital assets into the broader economy could destabilize workers’ financial stability.
The labor push adds to pressure already building from the banking sector, where trade groups have been pushing for revisions to key CLARITY Act provisions and to parts of the GENIUS Act for stablecoins that have already been enacted. 
Last-Ditch Pitch Ahead Of Hearing
As Bitcoinist reported on Monday, Banking trade groups have opposed the stablecoin-rewards provision, arguing it gives crypto companies too much flexibility and could pull deposits away from the regulated banking system. 
They also described what they said is a last-ditch effort to win over skeptical Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee ahead of the upcoming hearing.
Even as criticism mounts, senators say negotiations have been ongoing and the committee’s markup is now expected to be based on newly released CLARITY Act text. 
On Monday night, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott, Subcommittee on Digital Assets Chair Cynthia Lummis, and Senator Thom Tillis, released market structure bill language.
Updated Digital Asset Text
In their release, the senators said the text reflects “continued negotiations with Democratic colleagues” and extensive input from lawmakers, regulators, law enforcement, financial institutions, innovators, and consumer advocates. 
Chairman Scott said the CLARITY Act reflects what he described as good-faith work that will benefit “families, small businesses, investors, and innovators” by offering clear rules. 
He added that the CLARITY Act is intended to deliver certainty, safeguards, and accountability, put consumers first, combat illicit finance, and crack down on criminals and foreign adversaries—while also keeping what he characterized as the future of finance in the United States.
Lummis, who said Wyoming “led the way” on digital asset legislation and that Washington is now catching up, praised the updated text as the product of nearly a year of bipartisan work. 
She described it as bringing the CLARITY Act one step closer to giving the industry the clarity it says it needs, and framed the markup as a move toward solidifying US leadership in digital asset advancement.

Christopher Delgado, former CEO of Goliath Ventures, sat down for a televised interview this week to apologize to the people who lost money under his watch.
Confined To A Luxury Estate
Delgado is currently out on bail, but he is not a free man. He is confined to his home — an 11,000 square foot estate in Florida — and fitted with an ankle monitor.
That estate, according to US prosecutors, was bought with investor funds. Three other Florida properties, bringing the combined real estate total to $14.5 million, were also allegedly purchased using money from investors.
Prosecutors with the Orlando US Attorney’s Office charged Delgado with fraud and money laundering on February 20 over an alleged $328 million crypto investment Ponzi scheme. He faces up to 30 years in federal prison if convicted on all counts.
In the interview, which aired on ABC-affiliated station WFTV, Delgado said he wanted to explain what happened and make clear how sorry he was. &#8220;They put their trust in me, and I failed them,&#8221; he said.
Who Were The Crypto Investors?
The people who lost money were not wealthy speculators. Reports indicate the investor pool included nurses, teachers, firefighters, and retirees — people who handed over their savings based on promises of steady monthly returns from cryptocurrency liquidity pools.
One investor lost roughly $720,000. That person was told returns were guaranteed and that the money could be pulled out at any time.
According to federal prosecutors, Goliath Ventures operated as a Ponzi scheme from January 2023 through January 2026. Company funds were used not only on real estate but also on lavish company events, Christmas parties, and upscale travel.
When asked how Goliath handled investor money, Delgado acknowledged the company was paying people what he called an astronomical amount.
By the time of his arrest, Delgado said only $160,000 remained in Goliath&#8217;s bank account.
JPMorgan Pulled Into Legal Fight
The case has spilled beyond Delgado himself. In March, a group of investors filed a proposed class action lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, claiming the bank played a role in moving funds tied to the alleged scheme.
Based on reports, the lawsuit claims $253 million was deposited into a JPMorgan account between January 2023 and June 2025, with about $123 million of that later transferred to Goliath wallets at Coinbase.

The recovery has been sustained and the price is constructive — but an Arab Chain report has identified a shift in miner behavior that adds a specific supply-side dimension to the current setup that the price chart alone does not reveal.
Since the beginning of May, miner inflows to Binance have reached approximately 50,000 BTC — a figure that reflects a clear and meaningful acceleration in miner activity over a compressed timeframe. The timing is not coincidental. Bitcoin trading near relatively high levels above $80,000 has created the conditions that miners have been waiting for: a price recovery significant enough to make profit realization attractive after months of compressed margins and elevated operational costs.
The behavior is recognizable and historically documented. When Bitcoin recovers meaningfully from correction lows, miners who accumulated during the downturn or maintained production through compressed profitability tend to increase their exchange deposits as the price rises toward levels where selling makes financial sense. The current 50,000 BTC in May inflows is the on-chain evidence that this dynamic is now active.
What the Arab Chain report examines is not whether miners are selling — the inflow data confirms they are moving coins toward that possibility — but whether the demand currently supporting Bitcoin above $80,000 is deep enough to absorb what arrives.
50,000 BTC From Miners. Bitcoin Is Absorbing It. The Question Is How Much Longer
The Arab Chain report places the inflow surge in the context that gives it its full weight. Daily miner deposits to Binance have repeatedly exceeded 7,000 to 8,000 BTC at peak moments during the current period — a pace of exchange-directed supply that historically creates meaningful overhead pressure, particularly when it coincides with slowing upward momentum or a consolidation phase rather than a continuation of the advance.
The constructive reading is visible in the price itself. Bitcoin holding above $80,000 throughout the inflow period reflects a demand structure capable of absorbing significant miner supply without breaking. That absorption is not passive — it represents active buying meeting the coins that miners are moving toward the sell side, and the price holding is the evidence that the buying has been sufficient.
The risk the report identifies is duration and accompaniment. A sustained period of elevated miner inflows at this pace does not become a problem if demand grows alongside it. It becomes a problem if buying volume weakens or broader exchange selling activity increases while miners continue depositing at the current rate. That combination — persistent supply meeting diminishing demand — is the specific scenario that creates the kind of volatility Bitcoin has managed to avoid so far.
The market is currently at the point where the distinction between temporary profit-taking and the beginning of a broader distribution phase is not yet visible in the price. The Arab Chain analysis identifies that determination as the most important forward question the coming sessions will begin to answer.
Bitcoin Tests Resistance While Buyers Defend Key Demand Zones
Bitcoin is trading around $80,700 after a strong recovery from the February capitulation low near $60,000. The chart shows a market that has transitioned from panic-driven selling into a structured recovery phase, with buyers consistently defending higher lows over the last two months.
The most important technical feature on the chart is the reclaim of the $72,000–$74,000 region highlighted in yellow. That zone acted as major support during the early stages of the correction before breaking down in February. Bitcoin has now recovered above it and continues using it as support, confirming that previous resistance has flipped into an important demand area.
A second highlighted support region near $64,000–$66,000 marks the base where buyers aggressively absorbed selling pressure during the worst phase of the decline. The sharp rejection from that area established the structural bottom of the current recovery trend.
Momentum remains constructive while Bitcoin holds above the rising 50-day moving average and continues printing higher highs and higher lows. However, price is now approaching the declining 200-day moving average near the $82,000 region — the same area that rejected previous rally attempts earlier in the year.
Volume has normalized significantly compared to the February panic, suggesting the market is stabilizing. A confirmed breakout above the current resistance zone would likely shift focus toward the $90,000–$92,000 area next.

Grayscale Pushes Privacy Coin Into ETF Race</title><description><![CDATA[Grayscale has filed to convert its Zcash Trust into a spot exchange-traded fund, setting up a potential first for regulated exposure to a privacy coin in the U.S. ETF market. If approved and listed, the product would give investors exchange-traded access to ZEC without requiring them to custody the asset directly.
The proposed ETF would hold ZEC, the native asset of the Zcash network, and is expected to list on NYSE Arca under the ticker “ZCSH.” The filing says the trust would be renamed Grayscale Zcash Trust ETF once the registration becomes effective and the shares are listed.
Grayscale Brings Zcash Into the Spot ETF Race
The filing pushes Zcash into a category that has so far been dominated by larger, more liquid crypto assets. Spot Bitcoin ETFs and spot Ether ETFs created a template for regulated crypto exposure, but a Zcash product would test whether that structure can extend to an asset whose market identity is closely tied to privacy-preserving transactions.
Grayscale’s registration statement describes the product in direct terms. “The Trust’s purpose is to hold ‘ZEC’, which are digital assets that are created and transmitted through the operations of the peer-to-peer Zcash Network, a decentralized network of computers that operates on cryptographic protocols. The Trust’s investment objective is for the value of the Shares (based on ZEC per Share) to reflect the value of ZEC held by the Trust, as determined by reference to the Index Price, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities.”
The filing also stresses that the shares are not the same as holding ZEC directly. “While an investment in the Shares is not a direct investment in ZEC, the Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to gain investment exposure to ZEC. Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC is the sponsor of the Trust.”
The trust is structured as a Delaware statutory trust. Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC is listed as sponsor, CSC Delaware Trust Company as trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon as transfer agent and administrator, Coinbase, Inc. as prime broker, and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC as custodian.
Trust Held Nearly 391,104 ZEC at Quarter-End
The existing Grayscale Zcash Trust already holds a material ZEC position. In its latest quarterly filing, the trust reported 391,103.88769118 ZEC as of March 31, 2026, down from 393,522.33134026 ZEC at the end of 2025. Using the filing’s stated fair value of $254.27 per ZEC, that position was worth roughly $99.45 million at quarter-end, with Coinbase identified as the principal market for valuation purposes.
The registration statement says creations and redemptions would occur in blocks of 10,000 shares, referred to as baskets. As of Nov. 21, 2025, approximately 817.0998 ZEC were required to create one basket of 10,000 shares.
For now, the filing describes a cash-order model. Under that structure, an authorized participant deposits or receives cash, while a third-party liquidity provider sources or receives the ZEC. The trust is not currently able to process in-kind creations and redemptions with authorized participants, though NYSE Arca may later seek approval for that model.
Privacy-Coin Context Returns to the Foreground
The filing follows a notable shift in the regulatory backdrop around Zcash. The SEC concluded its review of the Zcash Foundation without recommending enforcement action or other changes, easing a long-running concern around one of the crypto market’s best-known privacy-focused networks.
The Zcash Foundation said: “We are pleased to announce that the SEC has concluded its review and informed us that it does not intend to recommend any enforcement action or other changes against Zcash Foundation regarding this matter. This outcome reflects our commitment to transparency and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Zcash Foundation remains focused on advancing privacy-preserving financial infrastructure for the public good.”
The SEC’s conclusion does not amount to ETF approval. It does, however, change the setting for Grayscale’s attempt to bring a privacy-coin product into a regulated public-market wrapper.
At press time, ZEC traded at $551.44.

The legislation covers significant ground across stablecoins, decentralized finance, and the broader crypto ecosystem — and the timeline for its advancement is moving faster than most participants anticipated.
The most immediately debated provision targets stablecoins directly. The bill prohibits issuers from paying interest or yield simply for holding stablecoins. For yield-bearing stablecoin products that have grown significantly across both centralized and decentralized platforms, the implications are structural rather than cosmetic.
The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to vote on the CLARITY Act during a markup session on May 14, 2026 — two days from today. If the bill clears that threshold with sufficient support, a full Senate floor vote could follow by summer 2026, placing the United States closer to a comprehensive digital asset regulatory framework than at any previous point in the industry&#8217;s history.
The stakes extend well beyond stablecoins. What the CLARITY Act establishes about who regulates what, which protocols qualify as sufficiently decentralized, and which activities require registration will define the operating environment for the entire crypto industry in the world&#8217;s largest financial market.
Four Assets. Four Verdicts. One Framework That Changes Everything
Top investor Fred Krueger has broken down the CLARITY Act&#8217;s implications across the four categories that matter most to crypto participants — and his assessment is more constructive than the 309-page length and regulatory complexity might suggest.
For Bitcoin, Krueger&#8217;s verdict is unambiguous. The explicit protection of self-custody removes one of the persistent regulatory threats that has hung over Bitcoin holders, while a clear legal framework for lending, wrapping, and other financial products built around Bitcoin opens the door for banks to participate at scale. His characterization: very bullish.
For DeFi, the picture is conditionally positive. Protocols that are genuinely decentralized remain intact under the Clarity Act&#8217;s framework. The compliance burden falls primarily on front ends, which will need to implement more aggressive geo-blocking, suspicious activity reporting, and potentially KYC requirements. For protocols that can demonstrate genuine decentralization, the path forward is clearer than many feared.
For stablecoins, the yield restriction is the defining limitation. Banks emerge as the structural winners — they can issue stablecoins within a clear framework while yield-bearing alternatives face heavy restrictions. Bullish for the category, but with a clear hierarchy of who benefits most.
For crypto and Bitcoin companies, Krueger is again emphatic. US companies building genuinely decentralized protocols are protected. Importantly, products can begin with more centralized architectures and progressively decentralize to achieve compliance — a provision that gives builders a realistic pathway rather than an impossible starting condition.
The enforcement timeline Krueger identifies is summer 2027, giving the industry approximately a year after potential passage to adapt.
CLARITY Act Arrives As Crypto Market Tests A Critical Zone
The total crypto market cap is trading around $2.66 trillion as the market attempts to stabilize following months of volatility and macro uncertainty. The timing is notable. The Senate Banking Committee’s release of the CLARITY Act draft introduces the strongest regulatory framework proposal the industry has seen in years, just as the crypto market structure begins showing signs of recovery.
Technically, the chart shows the market reclaiming an important area after the February capitulation that briefly pushed total valuation near the $2.1 trillion zone. Since then, buyers have managed to recover a significant portion of the decline, driving the market back above the 50-week and 100-week moving averages. Those moving averages are now beginning to flatten, reflecting the transition from aggressive downside momentum into a broader consolidation phase.
The key level remains the $2.7 trillion region. That area acted as support during multiple phases of the 2024 rally before becoming resistance during the correction. The market is now testing that same zone from below while volume remains relatively controlled compared to the panic-driven spikes seen earlier in the year.
If the market holds above the major moving averages and pushes decisively through resistance, the structure would begin resembling a continuation phase rather than a temporary relief rally. Much of that confidence may now depend on how the CLARITY Act defines crypto’s future operating environment.

Bitcoin LTH Supply Has Hit The 14.8 Million BTC Milestone
As pointed out by on-chain and cycle analyst Root in an X post, the Bitcoin long-term holder supply is currently sitting at an ATH. The &#8220;long-term holders&#8221; (LTHs) refer to the BTC investors who have been holding onto their coins for more than 155 days.
The LTHs make up one of the two main divisions of the Bitcoin network, based on the basis of holding time, with the other side being known as the &#8220;short-term holders&#8221; (STHs). Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto their coins, the less likely they are to move them at any point. As such, the STHs with their low holding time are considered to represent the weak-minded side of the market, while the LTHs include the resolute diamond hands.
There are a few different ways to track the behavior of these cohorts, with one such method being via the size of their wallet holdings. Below is the chart shared by Root that shows the trend in the supply of the Bitcoin LTHs over the history of the cryptocurrency.
As is visible in the graph, the Bitcoin LTH supply declined during the second half of 2025 as the HODLers took their profits of patience. More distribution from the group came alongside BTC&#8217;s price drawdown, this time indicating some panic capitulation. Since bottoming alongside the cryptocurrency&#8217;s lows in February, however, the trajectory of the metric has reversed. From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent that the uptrend in the indicator since then has led it to a value of 14.8 million BTC, which is a record.
Something to note is that while a decline in the LTH supply hints at selling in the present, the same isn&#8217;t true when it comes to a surge. By definition, the LTH group only includes tokens that have been held for a period longer than 155 days, so there is always a 155-day delay attached between when coins were bought and when they registered in the metric. In contrast, distribution instantly shows up as tokens see their age reset back to zero as soon as they are transacted.
As such, the recent uptrend in the Bitcoin LTH supply doesn&#8217;t reflect any accumulation that&#8217;s occurring right now, but rather a growing tendency among investors to HODL their tokens.
BTC Price
Bitcoin has seen its recovery hit the brakes as its price has taken a sideways movement around the $80,700 mark.

Market maker Wintermute, in its latest digital asset report, said the move carries a warning label—“&#8230;The way it got here tells you to be cautious rather than euphoric.”
Why Retrace Risks Remain
Wintermute pointed to indicators that, in its view, don’t align with what typically confirms a healthy breakout. The move was accompanied by a roughly $10 billion jump in open interest (OI) and the lowest spot volumes in two years—a combination the report described as the opposite of the conditions that typically validate bullish continuation in spot markets. 
The firm also argued that bull markets are generally confirmed by spot demand, not by derivatives-driven pressure. In this case, the lift came primarily from perpetual (perps) activity, which it described as a different—and more risky—mechanism.
Wintermute also cautioned that short-covering is not the same thing as conviction buying. It added that funding remains predominantly short, implying more short-squeeze dynamics could still be possible. 
Even so, the firm’s concern is that the market could give back gains unless spot buyers step in once the squeeze fades. In its framing, the longer-term picture may be steadier, but the near-term driver looks suspect—meaning a retracement could follow quickly if spot doesn’t support the higher levels.
$80,000 Is The Key For Bitcoin 
Despite the skepticism around the short-term structure, Wintermute highlighted several longer-term factors it considers more constructive. 
It pointed to Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows adding $623 million, and noted that Morgan Stanley’s new Bitcoin ETF pulled in $194 million in its first month without experiencing a single day of outflows. 
The report also referenced exchange reserves remaining at seven-year lows, calling it a sign that the accumulation story is still intact. Wintermute’s view, however, is that the bullish case is currently being carried more by institutional and supply-side support than by broad, organic spot participation. 
Wintermute also offered a technical and momentum warning. With Bitcoin&#8217;s relative strength index (RSI) entering overbought territory, the firm suggested that while grinding toward $85,000 is possible, the risk-reward for chasing at these levels is not attractive. 
The report also added a macro layer to the risk. It said equities are currently driving crypto, and if Consumer Price Index (CPI) prints hot or if the Warsh transition creates uncertainty, the equity-led tailwind could stall. 
In that scenario, the firm suggested that Bircoin holding above $80,000 through a macro shock would be a clearer confirmation that the move is more than just a leverage-driven squeeze. 
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is attempting to consolidate just above the $80,800 level, while still holding onto gains of 14% over the past month despite the retrace from $83,000, according to CoinGecko data.

Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader says the current structure looks similar to Bitcoin’s fakeouts in 2017 and 2021, where price briefly broke below support, quickly recovered, and then expanded higher. This setup now raises the question of whether the latest breakdown was another bear trap before Bitcoin’s next major move.
Bitcoin Is Setting Up A Similar Price Structure
To understand why the current Bitcoin price setup is interesting, it helps to revisit what happened in 2017 and 2021. In both cycles, BTC bounced above a horizontal zone. However, the price reversed and fell below that floor, leading to a fakeout. 
Traders who had positioned themselves with that level as their line in the sand were stopped out. However, that wasn&#8217;t the end.  In both cases, the fakeout breakdown arrived in the middle of that journey, not at its end. BTC reversed course and then went on a rally that broke into new all-time highs.
According to crypto analyst Merlijn, Bitcoin might be setting up a similar structure in 2025. The recent break above $80,000 might as well be a fakeout before expansion. The next projected move is a sharp breakdown below support, and then an immediate recovery back into the range.
Watch Out For A BTC Trap
A fakeout would mean Bitcoin reverses its rally and then drops into the green support band, shakes out weak hands, and possibly convinces the market that a deeper bear move has started. This move will see BTC possibly falling below $60,000. The bullish part of the setup would only come if BTC then reclaims that support area quickly.
Bitcoin’s current position makes the setup more sensitive because the cryptocurrency is currently trading around the $80,000 level. This area has become a technical line that traders are using to judge whether the recovery can continue. 
Although Bitcoin has recorded its first weekly close above $80,000 since January, the market is not fully out of danger yet. A move above $82,000 would back up the bullish case and open the door for further upside, while the bearish trajectory depends on BTC breaking below $78,000.
Nonetheless, the final outlook is bullish, especially if BTC continues to follow the 2017 and 2021 playbook. The analyst&#8217;s projection points upward from the current structure, exactly like the parabolic moves that followed the equivalent setups in the previous two cycles. The projection is that this setup will eventually lead to Bitcoin reaching a new price peak above $242,000, as the analyst sees it. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $80,790.

AI Versus AI
That figure is part of a broader push by the world&#8217;s largest crypto exchange to fight fraud with the same technology criminals are using to commit it.
According to Binance, its AI-powered tools prevented a total of $10.53 billion in user losses between early 2025 and March 2026. Over 5 million users were protected during that period, the company said in a blog post Monday.
Binance deployed more than 24 AI-driven security initiatives and over 100 models to get there. Thirty-six thousand malicious addresses were blacklisted as part of the effort.
AI now drives close to 60% of the exchange&#8217;s fraud controls, and the company says that has led to a 60% to 70% drop in card fraud rates compared to industry averages.
The technology being used to commit crimes has grown more capable and more accessible. Binance noted that what once took real technical skill can now be done cheaply and at high volume.
Deepfakes, phishing bots, voice cloning, and fake platforms are being used to trick people into giving up their funds — and the cost of running those attacks has fallen sharply.
A Broader Threat
Data shows that crypto fraud is a massive problem beyond Binance&#8217;s walls. The FBI said in April that Americans alone lost $11 billion in crypto to scammers, with impersonation of government officials and crypto companies among the most common tactics used against victims.
Binance said it has built computer vision tools to catch fake payment screenshots and added real-time language analysis to spot scam patterns as they happen.
On the identity side, the exchange has integrated AI into its verification process to counter increasingly sophisticated deepfakes and what it calls synthetic identities — fake personas built to pass as real users.
Raising The Bar
Fraud in the crypto space has long been a problem, but the tools behind it have become harder to detect and easier to deploy.
Highly organized groups are behind many of these attacks, and officials in the US have moved to crack down on scam operations, including those run out of Southeast Asia.
Binance says the accelerating threat is why it has made AI central to how it protects users. The exchange did not release a detailed breakdown of what types of fraud made up the bulk of the losses it says were prevented.

In the correspondence—signed by FOP President Patrick Yoes—the group says it strongly opposes Section 604, a provision that, according to the letter’s description, would exempt certain non-controlling developers and providers from being treated as money transmitting businesses.
CLARITY Act Section 604 Becomes A Flashpoint
In reports shared on social media, Yoes wrote to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren, arguing that Section 604 would strip prosecutors and law enforcement of statutes they rely on to track and pursue people who commit crimes using digital assets. 
The FOP’s argument is that removing those tools would also make it easier for criminal organizations to profit from illegal activity. At the center of the dispute is how the law would apply to the developers behind crypto-related software. 
The TFTC agency says Section 604 is the part that matters most for open-source contributors, because it would help shield developers from being classified and pursued under money transmission laws based on what users do with the software—rather than on whether the developer ever handled or controlled funds. 
Without that protection, the agency warns, building certain kinds of privacy tools, non-custodial wallets, or software associated with mixing could expose a developer to criminal liability even if they never touched a user’s assets.
The agency’s conclusion frames the conflict as less about whether the FOP supports trading digital assets, and more about where legal responsibility should land. 
It says the FOP does not appear to object to people owning or trading digital assets; instead, it is focused on preserving what it believes are enforcement pathways against the people who build the tools used to move those assets in criminal activity. 
No Democrats Expected To Support
While Section 604 remains under scrutiny, the CLARITY Act still faces other unresolved policy battles. As Bitcoinist reported on Monday, the Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to hold its markup of the CLARITY Act on Thursday, but the released draft text is already drawing skepticism.
Among the concerns are objections tied to the bill’s stablecoin-rewards provision. Banking trade groups have reportedly opposed that element, arguing that it could give crypto firms too much flexibility and may encourage deposits to shift away from the insured banking system.
Crypto In America also reported that analysts expect the CLARITY Act to progress along party lines, noting that no Democrats on the Senate Banking Committee are expected to vote in support.

In a recent X post shared on May 10, 2026, the crypto founder argued that BTC could eventually face a serious challenge tied to declining miner incentives. His comments have quickly sparked discussions on what this could mean for Bitcoin’s future stability.
Bitcoin Mining Pressure Builds
The warning from the crypto founder centered on a growing concern that has followed Bitcoin for years but is now attracting renewed attention as block rewards continue to shrink. Bitcoin miners currently secure the network by verifying transactions and maintaining the blockchain through energy-intensive mining operations. In return, miners receive newly issued BTC alongside transaction fees.
However, Bitcoin’s halving system cuts mining rewards in half every four years. While this system helps control BTC&#8217;s supply and supports its scarcity, it also reduces the amount miners earn over time. Sirer warned that this could eventually create a difficult situation for BTC where mining rewards are no longer enough to cover the high costs of electricity, equipment, and mining operations.
The concern becomes more significant because Bitcoin’s security depends heavily on miner participation. If mining becomes less profitable over time, smaller mining firms could struggle to survive, potentially forcing some operators out of the market. This could reduce competition among miners and increase centralization risks, something critics have warned about for years.
The Avalanche founder also pointed toward a future where transaction fees may eventually become the main source of income for miners. However, that could create another challenge if fees become too expensive for everyday users or fail to generate enough revenue to maintain strong network security.
Crypto Founder Suggests New Direction For BTC
As discussions around the warning grew, attention also turned to the solution proposed by the crypto founder. Sirer suggested that BTC could eventually use an extra transaction layer connected to Avalanche technology before transactions are fully completed on the Bitcoin network.
The goal of the idea is to reduce pressure on Bitcoin’s current system while helping transactions move through a faster and more efficient verification process. Even though the technology behind it is complex, supporters believe it could help BTC handle future challenges linked to declining mining rewards and growing network demands.
However, the proposal may not easily gain support from the BTC community. Many long-time BTC supporters are known for opposing major changes to the network, especially when outside technologies or different consensus systems are involved.
Even so, the warning highlights a broader concern already being discussed across the crypto industry. Some investors believe Bitcoin’s increasing price and future transaction activity could eventually solve the problem naturally. Others believe declining miner rewards could become a serious long-term issue if solutions are not presented early enough.

One of the latest predictions comes from a crypto pundit, who has forecasted a $300 value for the leading altcoin.
XRP Will Eventually Hit the $300 Mark
While the XRP price is showing strength towards the upside gradually, once again, after weeks of downside action, a bold prediction is reigniting debate across the crypto community. In a recent post on the X platform, crypto market enthusiasts and engineer CharuSan have declared that XRP will reach the $300 price mark. 
CharuSan’s bold statement is based on expectations regarding expanding global adoption of the altcoin, its growing role in cross-border payments, and deeper integration into financial institutions across the sector. It is important to note that forecasts like this are often speculative, but they continue to capture the attention of the community.
Firstly, the crypto pundit stated that shortly after the much-anticipated CLARITY Act is enacted, banks across the financial sector will start to use XRP, due to its speed and efficiency. Putting this into consideration, he believes that participants who keep saying the altcoin will rise slowly or only reach $5 or $10 view the adoption from banks as a mere move. Meanwhile, this is one of the major catalysts for a price growth to the $300 landmark.
The expert has outlined a recent partnership between Ripple Labs and giant infrastructure providers such as Volante, ACI Worldwide, and FINASTRA as an example of this impending large-scale adoption. Currently, these infrastructure providers are serving thousands of banks with a single update. 
However, Ripple does not need to sign individual contracts with over 13,000 Banks. “The moment they plug into the central cloud, all banks connected to the system become capable of using XRP liquidity,” CharuSan added. As a result, claims like &#8220;it will take years&#8221; to hit the $300 mark show a lack of awareness of how quickly the software industry is developing. XRP is a system for transferring money.
Even if the altcoin is valued between $10-$20 with this kind of global scale, CharuSan noted that “it would be like trying to transfer the water in the ocean with a small straw.” Meanwhile, the straw needs to grow, and large pipes are required. In this scenario, the pipes expand, and the transfer becomes much faster as the price increases.
A Move Toward Collateral Utilization
The finance sector is set to see a new wave of models, with XRP poised to be fully utilized as collateral. According to Ripple Prime’s CEO Mike Higgins, the altcoin is expected to act as collateral alongside industry-leading blockchains such as Bitcoin in institutional finance.
Over time, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have been tokenizing anything of value as collateral for margin, and settlement is the next step. Meanwhile, XRP is placed with these networks, signaling its robust network capabilities.
Higgins stated that the evaluation of cross-margining shows how useful the XRP Ledger is becoming. Using the Ledger allows assets to work as high-grade collateral without the need for liquidation.

New Launches Shift Focus To Another Blockchain</title><description><![CDATA[The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, has picked Ethereum over the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as it plans to launch two tokenized money-market funds. These funds will target stablecoin holders as BlackRock continues to expand its crypto offerings. 
BlackRock Picks Ethereum Over XRP Ledger For New Funds
According to a Bloomberg report, BlackRock has filed with the U.S. SEC to launch two tokenized money market funds. The first fund will be tokenized shares of its BlackRock Select Treasury-Based Liquidity Fund (BSTBL), which will launch on the Ethereum network. Meanwhile, the second fund, the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle (BRSRV), will launch on multiple chains, although the asset manager didn’t specify if the Ledger will be included.  
The BSTBL fund is an ideal investment for stablecoin issuers seeking to boost their reserve assets, as it invests in cash, U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and securities that mature within 93 days. BlackRock’s second tokenized fund also targets these stablecoin issuers and stablecoin holders who rely more on self-custody. 
The imminent launch of these tokenized funds will further expand BlackRock’s tokenized offerings, with the asset manager already offering the BUIDL fund, a tokenized U.S. Treasury. The fund is on several networks, with the most circulating supply on the Ethereum network. Despite being on several networks, BlackRock hasn’t expanded this fund to the Ledger, even though Ripple’s RLUSD is one of the off-ramps for the fund. 
Meanwhile, BlackRock is also known to offer Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and has suggested that it has no plans to file for an XRP ETF anytime soon, despite speculations. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart also recently opined that BlackRock is unlikely to file for an XRP ETF anytime soon. Instead, he sees the asset manager filing for an active crypto index fund, although this could also include XRP. 
The Ledger Still Seeing Significant Growth
The XRP Ledger continues to see significant growth in tokenized value. RWA.xyz data shows that the total RWA value on the network is up over almost 47% in the last 30 days, rising to $3.5 billion. During the same period, Ethereum’s total RWA value has dropped by 4% to $16.8 billion. 
Another positive for the Ledger is that tokenized assets on the network are seeing increased trading volume. Notably, the trading volume of tokenized U.S. Treasuries has surged past $352 million this year, up 5x from last year&#8217;s $70 million. Ondo Finance and Ripple recently partnered to complete the first cross-border tokenized U.S. Treasury settlement using Ondo’s tokenized OUSG fund on the Ledger. 
At the time of writing, the XRP price is currently trading at around $1.46, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

However, a market expert has outlined several entities and cryptocurrencies he believes would benefit even from this upcoming legislation. He mentions a handful of coins, but XRP is not among his list of winners. 
Analyst Picks CLARITY Act Winners, But No XRP
The Digital Asset CLARITY Act was first introduced in 2025, and since then, it has been stuck in months of back-and-forth negotiations because many banking trade groups disagreed with allowing stablecoins to pay interest to holders. They argued it would pull deposits out of the banking system and threaten financial stability. After the prolonged debate,a the bill has reached a final agreement, with stablecoin yield banned but activity-based rewards still allowed.
Now, all that’s left is the scheduled May 14 markup, where the Senate Banking Committee will vote on whether to advance the bill. Once the CLARITY Act is passed, a pseudonymous crypto market expert known as Digital Oil on X has said that there will be five big winners who will benefit significantly. 
At the top of his list, he says the American people will be a major winner. This is likely because the bill ends years of regulatory uncertainty, giving US citizens clearer protections and rules when they invest in or use digital assets. 
Coming in second is Ethereum (ETH), because as the dominant settlement layer for DeFi, Digital Oil believes that Ethereum stands to gain the most from the bill among all cryptocurrencies, which draws a clean legal line between commodities and securities. With ETH likely to be labeled as a digital commodity, institutional money that has been sitting on the sidelines will finally have the legal clarity needed to move in. 
The third winner, Digital Oil, mentioned was Chainlink (LINK). As the leading “oracle network” that connects blockchains to real-world data, Chainlink benefits from a regulated crypto market, which means more institutions building on-chain, and this activity may increase demand for Chainlink. 
The next company on the list is Circle (CRCL). As the issuer of USDC, one of the largest stablecoins in the world, Circle is perhaps the most directly affected by the CLARITY Act. The recent compromise in activity-based rewards is an ideal change for Circle.
Lastly, Digital Oil mentions Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD), the two biggest retail-focused crypto exchanges in the US. Coinbase, in particular, was at the center of the CLARITY Act negotiations, and its CEO Brian Armstrong publicly pushed the bill despite rejecting it twice before. Meanwhile, Robinhood has been expanding its crypto offerings, and if the bill passes, the exchange will have a much clearer path to growth. 
Bitmine And Tom Lee Named Best Positioned Overall
In a separate post, Digital Oil stated that the “best positioned man and company” after the CLARITY Act is passed is Tom Lee, the founder of Bitmine (BMNR), which holds the world&#8217;s largest Ethereum Treasury. 
With ETH at the center of the bill’s biggest benefits and XRP falling behind, a company built entirely around accumulating the altcoin is about as well-placed as anyone could be. This is especially true, as the CLARITY Act could soon become crypto’s biggest regulatory moment. Digital Oil reconfirms this, saying Lee “is the best positioned of all!”

The transfers represented 32.26% of LAB’s circulating supply, according to the on-chain tracker, adding fresh fuel to allegations from ZachXBT and other analysts that LAB trading activity has shown signs of coordinated market manipulation.
The wallet activity comes as ZachXBT has escalated his criticism of Bitget, moving beyond the LAB token itself to question the exchange’s role in allowing suspicious trading patterns to continue. In a post on X, the on-chain investigator wrote:
“Shawn Liu is the Bitget big boss who allows these scams to operate behind the scenes while Gracy Chen is only the face of it. The Chinese CEX cartel has gone unchallenged for years and doesn’t care as long as they benefit from the activity. I think it is almost time to increase public attacks against Bitget.”
Why Bitget Is Under Pressure By ZachXBT
The dispute has been building for several days. ZachXBT previously addressed Chen directly over what he described as a lack of public updates on Bitget’s investigation into RAVE, another token that had drawn manipulation allegations. In April, Chen had responded to ZachXBT’s earlier RAVE claims by saying: “Thank you for pointing this out, we have already started investigating the RAVE incident.”
ZachXBT’s latest criticism links the unresolved RAVE matter with LAB’s trading activity. “The community has not received any update about the investigation of RAVE,” he wrote. “While now LAB is running yet another market manipulation scheme via Bitget spot. Every new token running similar scams only hurts the credibility of the industry further.”
He also questioned the incentives of centralized exchanges that list or facilitate markets around such tokens. “Yes CEXs want fees generated by volume however is destroying retail traders the best way to drive it?” ZachXBT wrote, adding that Binance, OKX and Bybit perpetual markets appeared to be “a potential source” of related activity.
The LAB claims center on alleged concentration of supply and exchange flows before the token’s move. SpecterAnalyst, whose thread was cited by ZachXBT, alleged that wallets linked to the LAB team still held large allocations and that one wallet linked to the team deposited 40 million LAB, then worth about $13.6 million, to Bitget on April 8. The same analysis claimed that, about a week before LAB began pumping on May 1, wallets linked to the team deposited another 96 million LAB, worth roughly $63 million, to Bitget.
SpecterAnalyst characterized the activity as coordinated, citing gas-fee distribution and additional wallet behavior, including aggressive LAB buying on-chain and deposits to Gate and Bitget. Those claims remain allegations based on wallet clustering and transaction interpretation, not a formal finding by an exchange or regulator.
ZachXBT has also put money behind the inquiry. The investigator announced a $10,000 reward for evidence related to LAB market manipulation, including insider information on market makers, contracts, chat logs, and identity details tied to the LAB founder known as Vova Sadkov.
At press time, the Bitget token traded at $2.11.
