However, a positive sign for the bulls is that BTC exchange-traded funds recorded $1.63 billion in net inflows in May, according to SoSoValue data. That suggests investors are building positions as they anticipate the uptrend to continue. Analyst PlanC said in a post on X that BTC was about to enter its first supercycle, which began at the bear-market low of $16,000 in Nov. 2022. He expects BTC to rise above $250,000 in the second half of 2027 to the first half of 2028. Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/price-predictions-56-btc-eth-xrp-bnb-sol-doge-hype-ada-bch-zec</link><guid>846969</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Price predictions 5/6: BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, HYPE, ADA, BCH, ZEC</dc:text></item><item><title>Switzerland's Amina becomes first regulated bank to custody Canton Coin</title><description><![CDATA[The FINMA-regulated bank's institutional clients will get access to trading and holding Canton Coin through a banking platform instead of crypto-native venues.Swiss crypto bank Amina has added custody and trading support for Canton Coin, becoming the first regulated bank to offer services for the token tied to the Canton Network, an institutional-focused network.In a Wednesday announcement, Amina said clients will gain regulated access to the Canton Network, a public blockchain designed for capital markets and tokenized finance.

Cardano price was up 5% as bulls broke above $0.27 amid Bitcoin&rsquo;s surge.
Bullish RSI at 66 and rising open interest signal breakout potential.
Support could be at $0.25 and $0.23, while $0.30 and 200 EMA near $0.40 are next resistance levels.
Cardano (ADA) traded to above $0.27 as bulls across the cryptocurrency market extended gains toward the key resistance zones.
ADA&rsquo;s spike aligned with this broader market strength, which has seen renewed investor optimism push Bitcoin&rsquo;s price past $81,000.
The overall lift already has several altcoins posting double-digit gains, while a few like Toncoin and Zcash have exploded by more than 30% in the past 24 hours.
Cardano price surges to $0.27 as bullish sentiment builds
Data on CoinMarketCap shows Cardano&rsquo;s price has surged 5% in the past 24 hours and 8% this past week, with ADA decisively extending gains above the pivotal $0.25 level.
This momentum aligns with fresh capital flowing into altcoins, amplifying buying pressure.
Notably, derivatives data further bolsters the bullish narrative.
Open interest in ADA futures has risen to $546 million, signaling heightened trader conviction.
Meanwhile, funding rates for perpetual contracts hovered at positive 0.0074%, and 24-hour spot trading volume was at $129 million.
A lot of this is down to risk appetite returning across markets.
On Wednesday, analysts at QCP highlighted the outlook as largely boosted by geopolitical developments.&amp;
&ldquo;Trump&rsquo;s pause on &ldquo;Project Freedom&rdquo; is read as a de-escalation signal, sending oil lower, equities higher, and the dollar softer. $BTC has reclaimed $80k alongside the S&amp;P 500&rsquo;s best month since 2020, trading once again as a high-beta expression of dollar weakness and risk appetite,&rdquo; they noted.
These factors point to mounting bullish sentiment, and Cardano could capitalize on this and the market&rsquo;s broader recovery to eye higher levels.
Cardano price forecast
From a technical perspective, Cardano&rsquo;s short-term outlook is bullish.
The token is looking for a breakout from a descending triangle pattern, while the price has jumped above the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $0.25.
The picture signals the potential for an extended rally.
Cardano price chart by TradingView
Short-term targets cluster around $0.30, marked by a key horizontal resistance line from March highs.
Beyond that, the 200-day EMA near $0.40 looms as the next major hurdle, potentially unlocking a push toward $0.50 if momentum holds.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart stands at 66, firmly in bullish territory but yet to enter overbought levels.
This suggests room for additional gains before any pullback.
If bears take control, key support levels include $0.25 (now acting as dynamic support via the 50-day EMA) and $0.23.
A drop below this mark could temper enthusiasm and bring $0.20 into play.

After buying up 90% of the supply at launch, the wallet cluster sold about $100,000 worth of tokens and still holds 40% of the supply, said Bubblemaps in a Tuesday X post. The analytics company described the pattern as a “textbook scam.”Sniping refers to using bots or automated trading tools to buy newly launched tokens immediately after trading opens, often before ordinary traders can react. The findings highlight how automated buying and coordinated wallet clusters can dominate thinly traded memecoin launches, leaving later buyers exposed to sharp losses if early holders sell.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/bubblemaps-flags-mystery-token-over-90-wallet-launch-sniping-cluster</link><guid>846980</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bubblemaps flags MYSTERY token over 90-wallet launch sniping cluster</dc:text></item><item><title>Linea contributes ZK rollup stack to Linux Foundation open-source group</title><description><![CDATA[Linea Consortium board director Declan Fox said the move gives its technology a neutral, foundation-governed home.Linea Consortium has joined Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) as a premier member and contributed the open-source zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup stack powering Linea as a new code project called Lineth.The contribution places Linea’s core layer-2 technology under LFDT's open-source governance framework, rather than the control of any single company, Linea Consortium said in a release on Tuesday, positioning the move as a step toward decentralization.

Zcash price climbed 36% to above $600 amid Bitcoin&rsquo;s uptick.
ZEC&rsquo;s rally comes as a surge in shielded supply highlights Zcash&rsquo;s strength.
Bulls could target $700 and cycle highs, but RSI signals profit-taking.
Zcash (ZEC) is riding the latest wave in the cryptocurrency market, surging alongside Bitcoin&rsquo;s charge toward $82,000.
As the flagship asset nears this key psychological barrier, altcoins are joining the rally, with Toncoin (TON) climbing 22%, Internet Computer (ICP) gaining 18%, and Near Protocol (NEAR) up 15% in the past 24 hours.
This broad uptick signals a renewed investor appetite for privacy-focused and scalable protocols amid a dip in Bitcoin&rsquo;s dominance to 54%.
Zcash explodes 36% to above $600
Zcash&rsquo;s price has skyrocketed 36% over the past week, flirting with the $600 resistance level early Wednesday.
The privacy coin rose to highs of $606 on Coinbase, hitting its highest level since November 2025.
Meanwhile, open interest on major futures platforms like Binance and OKX has surged to $1.3 billion, up from $964 million the day before.
These metrics reflect surging conviction and have helped propel bulls past key resistances at $450 and $540. ZEC hovered at $578 at the time of writing, with the $600 mark now acting as the immediate hurdle.
Why is Zcash price surging?
As noted, Zcash&rsquo;s ascent gained momentum amid Bitcoin&rsquo;s rally. However, ZEC&rsquo;s surge has also accelerated amid key institutional developments.
Robinhood&rsquo;s late April listing of ZEC for spot trading unlocked access for millions of retail users, including those in New York for the first time, injecting fresh liquidity into the market.
Bulls also rode Grayscale&rsquo;s filing to convert its Zcash Trust into a spot ETF, a move that could draw billions in traditional capital.
Zcash has also seen its shielded supply rise steadily, underscoring growing adoption for shielded transactions.
Multicoin Capital, which has amassed a substantial ZEC position, highlights this uptick. Co-founder and managing partner Tushar Jain emphasized ZEC&rsquo;s appeal on X:
We believe that truly private, censorship and seizure resistant assets have clear product-market fit and demand is accelerating. We believe ZEC is the cleanest way to express this thesis in public markets.
Zcash price prediction &amp;- cycle highs next for ZEC?
Despite the rally, Zcash remains far from its all-time high set in 2016.
Yet, prices have surged significantly since lows of $15 in July 2024, and this uptick has seen bulls shatter the stubborn supply wall that capped prices since December 2025.
Zcash price chart by TradingView
Rising to $600 could clear a path for higher levels, with bullish momentum likely bolstered by fresh institutional and retail accumulation amid ETF prospects and privacy demand.
If this holds, buyers will eye $700 as the next target, aligning with last year&rsquo;s cycle highs. Movement towards $850 and $1,000 could align with an explosive rally across crypto.
However, technical indicators temper immediate optimism. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart sits at 86, signaling overextension and hinting at a pullback.
A retest of support at $452 (the recent breakout level) or deeper at $378 (a multi-month accumulation zone) could attract bears.
But these could offer entry points for renewed upside.

HYPE is trading above $44 on Wednesday after over 4% gains the previous day.
On-chain data shows an increase in user activity on Hyperliquid as TVL and stablecoin market capitalization rise.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) traded above $44.00 on Wednesday, extending its rally for a sixth consecutive session as rising derivatives activity and growing platform usage strengthened bullish sentiment around the exchange token.
The latest rally comes as investor confidence gradually returns to the broader crypto market, boosting both leverage exposure and user participation across the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Hyperliquid sees rising retail demand and platform activity
CoinGlass data show HYPE futures Open Interest (OI) climbed to $1.75 billion on Wednesday from $1.62 billion the previous day, signaling an increase in leveraged positions and fresh capital entering the market.
The sharp rise in Open Interest suggests traders are increasingly positioning for additional upside as bullish momentum accelerates.
At the same time, DeFiLlama data indicate Total Value Locked (TVL) on Hyperliquid increased more than 2% over the last 24 hours to reach $1.556 billion, reflecting stronger inflows into the protocol.
Growing TVL is typically associated with rising user engagement and improving platform fundamentals, as more capital flows into decentralized finance applications built on the ecosystem.
Hyperliquid also continues to rank among the strongest-performing DeFi protocols by revenue generation.
Excluding stablecoin protocols, Hyperliquid currently leads the sector in seven-day revenue with $11.58 million, underscoring sustained trading activity and demand for the platform.
Technical outlook: HYPE targets a breakout above $50
Technically, Hyperliquid maintains a strong bullish structure as price action continues to trade comfortably above the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), all of which continue to slope upward and reinforce the broader uptrend.
Momentum indicators also support the bullish outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains firmly in positive territory on the 4-hour chart, signaling sustained upward momentum, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 74, reflecting an overbought condition.
On the upside, the next key resistance level is the R1 Pivot Point near $45.52. A decisive breakout above this barrier would bring the broader descending trendline resistance near the psychological $50.00 level into focus.
A sustained close above the $50 region could trigger a stronger bullish continuation phase and potentially open the door for a broader medium-term rally.
On the downside, immediate support sits near the rising trendline around $40.00, followed by the 50-day EMA near $39.76.
Additional downside protection is seen at the 100-day EMA around $37.45 and the 200-day EMA near $36.45 if broader market conditions weaken and trigger a deeper correction.

Bitcoin Cash price extends gains on Wednesday, up over 3% since Tuesday.
Derivatives data support a bullish bias, with increasing open interest and long positions accumulating.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) continued its strong recovery on Wednesday, climbing above $489 and extending weekly gains beyond 8% as bullish positioning across the derivatives market reinforced the ongoing rally.
The broader crypto market backdrop remains supportive, with Bitcoin (BTC) holding near the $82,000 level, while technical indicators suggest BCH could be preparing for a breakout above the psychological $500 barrier.
Bullish derivatives activity strengthens BCH outlook
According to CoinGlass data, Bitcoin Cash futures Open Interest (OI) jumped to $683.83 million on Wednesday from roughly $642 million recorded on Sunday.
The increase in Open Interest signals fresh capital entering the market, typically reflecting growing trader participation and stronger buying activity that could further support BCH&rsquo;s upward momentum.
Additional derivatives data also point to strengthening bullish sentiment. CoinGlass shows BCH&rsquo;s long-to-short ratio rising to 1.25 on Wednesday, marking its highest level in more than a month. A ratio above one indicates that a larger share of traders are positioning for additional upside.
Meanwhile, CryptoQuant data presents a largely constructive outlook for Bitcoin Cash despite some mixed signals. The platform&rsquo;s summary metrics highlight increased whale activity across spot and futures markets alongside cooling market conditions, both of which historically support upside continuation.
However, persistent sell-side dominance in the spot market could limit the pace of the rally and create short-term volatility near key resistance levels.
Technical outlook: BCH bulls target rally above $500
Bitcoin Cash trades near $489.60 after breaking above several important technical levels. The token now holds comfortably above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $457.91 and the 100-day EMA at $478.47, reinforcing the bullish structure following the breakout above a former descending trendline near $449.56.
Momentum indicators continue to favor buyers. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart has climbed toward 70, approaching overbought territory but still signaling strong bullish momentum.
At the same time, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains firmly in positive territory and continues to expand, suggesting buying pressure remains dominant.
On the upside, immediate resistance is located near the 200-day EMA at $497.05. A decisive daily close above that level could open the door for a push toward the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $515.06.
Beyond that, bulls may target the 50% retracement near $544.56, followed by the 61.8% Fibonacci level around $574.07 if momentum accelerates.
On the downside, immediate support sits near the confluence zone between $478.47 and $478.55, where the 100-day EMA aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
Additional support is found at the 50-day EMA near $457.91, while the former breakout trendline around $449.56 could attract renewed dip-buying interest during deeper pullbacks.

Bitcoin (BTC) holds above $81,000 as short-term momentum strengthens.
Weak network growth signals cautious market participation.
BTC faces major resistance at $89,500.
Bitcoin has climbed above $81,000, extending its monthly recovery and testing its highest trading range in roughly three months.
At press time, BTC was trading around $81,467 after gaining 5.2% over the past seven days and 17.6% over the last 30 days.
The latest move places Bitcoin in a critical technical zone, with several underlying metrics suggesting the rally is still developing under cautious conditions rather than broad market conviction.
Network activity and derivatives participation remain muted
While Bitcoin&rsquo;s spot price has improved, on-chain data point to weaker user participation than during previous major rallies.
Active addresses and transaction activity have not increased at the same pace as price, signalling that retail demand remains limited.
This divergence between price and blockchain activity often suggests that current momentum is being supported more by institutional demand and large investors than by widespread organic adoption.
Notably, institutional participation through spot Bitcoin ETFs has surged, with billions in capital inflows helping stabilise prices above key support zones.
However, derivatives market participation has remained relatively restrained compared to previous breakout cycles, with lower speculative leverage and softer futures activity indicating traders are cautious.
In addition, the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index currently reads 50, placing sentiment in neutral territory.
This reflects a market that is neither euphoric nor fearful, reinforcing the idea that Bitcoin&rsquo;s recent strength has not yet triggered widespread speculative enthusiasm.
Technical indicators show bullish momentum
Bitcoin&rsquo;s short-term technical structure remains positive, with 12 out of 23 major technical indicators&amp; leaning bullish currently.
Furthermore, BTC is trading above its 10-day, 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day exponential moving averages, which support continued bullish momentum.
However, Bitcoin remains below its long-term 200-day EMA, showing that macro resistance is still intact.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index stands at 69.5, placing BTC just below overbought territory.
While this suggests strong momentum, traders should closely watch for possible exhaustion if RSI breaks above 70 without stronger volume.
Post-halving cycle points to late-stage expansion
Bitcoin&rsquo;s fourth halving took place in April 2024, reducing miner rewards to 3.125 BTC per block.
The asset is now approximately 25 months into its post-halving cycle.
Historically, this stage has often aligned with stronger price expansion, heightened volatility, and eventual cycle peaks before larger retracements.
Previous Bitcoin bull cycles reached new all-time highs roughly 1,405 to 1,477 days apart.
Based on this pattern, the current cycle may still have room for further upside, though historical trends also suggest increasing risks of correction as the cycle matures.
Short-term Bitcoin forecast remains cautiously bullish
Looking at the current market structure, the immediate resistance zone sits at $89,479.
A confirmed close above that level could open the path toward the next resistance near $90,975.
However, in case of a pullback, especially if the oversold region is reached, then the key support level sits at $75,109.
A break below $75,109 would likely weaken the bullish structure and raise the probability of deeper corrections.
Moving ahead, traders should carefully monitor the Bitcoin ETF inflows, whale accumulation, and RSI behaviour, for clearer confirmation of whether the current move can develop into a larger sustained rally.

The liquidations highlight a growing imbalance as BTC traders continue to build short positions above $80,000, while the price holds firm, creating repeat conditions for future short squeezes.Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. tracked over $7.9 billion in forced short liquidations since early February. The largest spike hit $737 million on Feb. 13, followed by multiple waves through March and April. The liquidation volumes ranged from $2 million to $28 million per day before jumping back to $175 million on May 4.

Latam remittances have reached an estimated $174B, although the growth is not following the US-Mexico route. 
Stablecoins have since overturned crypto use in the area and are now mostly used as a way to save money, rather than a form of payment. 
The majority of fintechs focus on the wrong users/corridors and overlook large underserved markets. 
Stablecoins are quietly reshaping cross-border payments in Latin America, but most fintech strategies are still misaligned. New insights from Bybit’s CMO Claudia Wang show the real drivers behind a fast-evolving $174 billion market.

LATAM Flows Shift Away From Mexico
Remittances into Latin America reached a record ~$174 billion in 2025. But growth is no longer centered on Mexico.
Mexico experienced the fall of 4.5% to $61.8 billion. Central American nations in the meantime shot up with over decade growths in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
This shift reflects changing migration patterns. Migrants from Central America are sending money home faster and in larger amounts, often reacting to policy pressure in the U.S.
Most fintechs still focus on the US &#8211; Mexico corridor. That’s a mistake. Smaller routes, especially non-U.S. corridors, remain underserved and face less competition.
Stablecoins Are Held, Not Just Sent
Users Want Dollars, Not Transactions
Stablecoins now account for around 40% of all crypto purchases across LATAM, overtaking Bitcoin.
But the key insight is behavioral. Users are not using stablecoins just to transfer money. In some nations such as Argentina, stablecoins control more than 70% of the crypto purchases. This is an indication of high demand for dollar exposure as there is inflation and capital controls.
The Real Remittance User Is Not Crypto-Native
Fintech products often target young, tech-savvy users. That’s not who drives remittances. The typical sender is 40–60 years old, sending $100–$600 monthly to the family. More than 80% of the money is spent on basic needs such as food and shelter.
This demographic prefers featureless features over features. When the process of sending money seems tricky, they will not use the commodity. Mobile-first design, the support of a local language, and rapid confirmation is more significant than advanced crypto tools.

Costs and Competition Are Shifting Fast
Conventional remittance service providers continue to charge on the order of 5%-6% per transaction. At the same time, market share is shifting.
Other legacy players in the telecommunication market such as Western Union are behind the times, unlike digital platforms. There is also an increase in the number of crypto-native companies, particularly in the areas where conventional services are either too costly or restrictive.
Regulation and Strategy Divide the Region
LATAM is not a single market. Every country possesses its own rules and infrastructure as well as user behavior. Argentina and Colombia are easier to enter. Brazil and Mexico are bigger and more challenging as regulation is more strict.
Another dimension, which was added recently in the U.S. policy, is the 1% tax on the cash remittance. This is driving users towards online and crypto-based remits. Firms able to adjust to these variations and integrate both local payment rails and combination of stablecoin liquidity are in a better position to respond to long-term demand.

Bitcoin has re-captured the first level in three months of at least $80,000 marking the renewed momentum.
The support of the rally is strong ETF inflows and the rising global risk sentiment.
BTC has also recovered almost 30% of its February low, and traders are monitoring higher levels.
Bitcoin has rebounded above a major psychological level to trigger a rebound in bullish sentiment in the crypto market. The shift is given by the fact that the macro conditions have stabilized and the institutional demand continues to accumulate.
Bitcoin Reclaims $80K
In the early trading of Monday, Bitcoin shot above $80,000, now its highest price since the end of January. The movement was rapid, and BTC passed the high-point of the high-$78,000 range and surged beyond it in a couple of hours.
The breakout indicates good buying pressure following weeks of consolidation. The price action gives a hint that traders were waiting to get a trigger and once the momentum began, it gained momentum very quickly.
This is a significant level. It has been used in the last few months as a form of resistance and going above it can often mean that both the retail and institutional players have recovered their confidence.

Momentum Builds Across Markets
The rally didn’t happen in isolation. The risk sentiment saw a positive move with the Asian equity markets opening with a positive takeoff, indicating a more positive macro backdrop. Crypto did not go against that trend. Other big altcoins followed suit, with Ethereum, XRP, and BNB recording good returns over the same time.
Meanwhile, the regulatory environment in the U.S. is gaining momentum. Continued debates around stablecoin laws are proving hope that the establishment of rules would open the way to additional institutional involvement.
ETF Demand Remains Strong
The further inflows in spot Bitcoin ETFs represent one of the largest factors in the recent empowerment of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin ETFs listed in the U.S. have reported inflows on most investment days in the recent weeks. Recently a one-off session in excess of $600 million brought to the fore the continued institutional interest.
This flow of constant capital gives a firm pillar to ground on the price support. Investor ETF inflows are also likely to indicate longer-term positioning as opposed to short-term speculation.

Nearly 30% Recovery From Lows
The fact that bitcoin has risen to more than $80,000, is a sharp recovery considering it fell as low as $62,000 in February. That would be a 30% bounce-back in a couple of months.
Market participants now seek to know whether bitcoin will continue gathering momentum that is above this point.
Certain analysts believe that further inflows and an increase in sentiment might propel BTC to the $100,000 area. Others warn that it is not over yet and volatility may increase, provided that macro conditions do change.

Atlas Live enables traders to analyze token concentration and spot potential rug pulls. Now in real time.
Odense, Denmark, May 6, 2026  &#8211; InsightX, the on-chain safety and analytics platform, launches Atlas Live, the world&#8217;s first real time token holder map.
InsightX is best known for Atlas, a holder visualization tool used by millions of traders each month. It simplifies token ownership at a glance, with clustering patterns revealing potential coordinated wallet activity. Atlas is integrated across major platforms including Pump.fun, Axiom, Terminal and GMGN.
The launch of Atlas Live transforms the research tool into a decision-making engine for live trading. Until now all holder maps required manual refreshing, leaving traders a step behind the true token distribution. In a market where scams unfold in seconds this delay was critical. Atlas Live changes this, turning static analysis into real-time insights.
What’s New 
Live Holder Map
Atlas Live introduces the world’s first live token holder map. Traders can now watch wallets buy, sell and transfer tokens in real time, revealing patterns that were previously invisible. This can make the difference between getting out early or being left with an empty bag.
“The word ‘real-time’ gets used a lot in crypto, but it rarely means truly instant.” said Lasse Møller, CEO of InsightX. “With Atlas Live, there’s no refresh button, no delay. The data is just there &#8211; live, as it happens.”
Historical Mode
With Historical mode traders can rewind any token’s distribution and analyze how early holders behaved. Most importantly, it enables the investigation of any given moment, not just snapshots.
This makes it possible to:
Identify insider accumulation before a pump 
Detect coordinated wallet clusters 
Understand how a token evolved over time
AI Powered Detection
Identifying true ownership has become increasingly difficult. Tokens may appear decentralized on paper, yet remain controlled by a small group of holders. Funds can be routed through intermediary wallets that may never interact directly but are linked via shared funding sources. AI powered detection uncovers these hidden links, helping traders separate normal activity from suspicious behavior.
“Not everything is black and white.” Møller added. “Large clusters of wallets can represent normal exchange flows, but they can also indicate coordinated behavior. Atlas Live helps traders understand that difference in seconds. That’s why context is so important.”
Built for speed and real-time insights
Atlas Live combines real-time data with contextual insights to help traders read token distribution and react faster. It highlights large holder movements and early liquidity shifts that may signal sell-offs or potential rug pulls.
Atlas Live is available cross-chain on 15 ecosystems: Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Abstract, XLayer, Monad, HyperEVM, Sonic, Avalanche, Sui, Tron, Polygon, Arbitrum and Unichain.
About InsightX
InsightX is an innovative Web3 transparency and security platform, transforming how traders and ecosystems navigate on-chain markets. The InsightX product suite combines smart contract security scanning with live holder maps to deliver clarity, trust and alpha across the DeFi space. Best known for its holder map, Atlas, InsightX powers major platforms like Pumpfun and Axiom, serving more than 2M traders each month.

On May 13, Moscow Exchange will introduce the indexes of SOL, XRP, TRX, and BNB
The index pricing strategy derives major exchanges with Binance holding 50% weighting
Data is updated every 15 seconds, which is a sign that it is moving towards near real-time crypto benchmarks
The leading exchange in Russia is going further into alt coins with a new line of alt coins indices, a definite plunge into creating regulated exposure without actual token trading.
New Crypto Indexes Go Live May 13
The Moscow Exchange confirmed it will begin calculating four new crypto indexes tracking Solana, XRP, TRON, and BNB.
These benchmarks including MOEXSOL, MOEXXRP, MOEXTRX, and MOEXBNB expand the exchange’s crypto lineup beyond its existing Bitcoin and Ether indexes. The move shows a shift from focusing only on major assets to covering a broader range of high-volume tokens.
The indexes are not tradable assets themselves. Instead, they act as reference prices for future financial products such as derivatives.
How Pricing Will Be Calculated
The exchange will use a multi-source pricing model based on trading volume across four global platforms.
50% from Binance 
20% from Bybit 
15% from OKX 
15% from Bitget 
Faster Updates Across Trading Sessions
From May 13, all crypto indexes on the platform will update every 15 seconds. This replaces the previous once-a-day calculation model.
The change aligns the exchange more closely with the 24/7 nature of crypto markets. It also reduces lag and improves accuracy for institutional users relying on these benchmarks.

Built for Institutional Access
Crypto-linked instruments on the Moscow Exchange remain restricted to professional investors. This is in accordance with the local regulations whereby exposure to crypto prices as either derivatives and security can be made, but not by direct ownership.
The exchange has already launched futures tied to its Bitcoin and Ether indexes, along with crypto-linked ETFs. The new indexes could support similar products once enough pricing history is established.
Expansion Plans Already Underway
The four new indexes are part of a larger roadmap. The Moscow Exchange is also planning to develop its crypto benchmark portfolio to the minimum of 10 assets.
New entries in the future might be Dogecoin, Cardano, Chainlink and other significant tokens. This is an indication of planned out development and not a single development. Meanwhile, exchange is also testing more advanced instruments, such as perpetual futures indexed on crypto indexes.
Long-Term Strategy: From Indexes to Trading
Russia’s approach remains controlledFinancial instruments that are regulated are the target, whereas spot crypto trading is instantly opened. This will enable institutions to be exposed whilst remaining within the current legal frameworks. It also reduces custody risks tied to holding digital assets directly.
The exchange expects to eventually move further. It is planned that in early 2027, assuming no regulatory obstacles appear along the way, direct crypto trading may be introduced.

XRP holds above $1.40 with modest ETF inflows and improving sentiment.
The weak derivatives activity and strong resistance levels keep the short-term outlook cautious.
Ripple (XRP) is trading just above $1.40 on Tuesday, showing gradual momentum despite lingering macro uncertainty.
The token, alongside the broader crypto market, has remained resilient even as tensions in the Middle East persist and the US&amp;-Iran ceasefire faces renewed pressure.
Risk appetite has stabilized in recent weeks, with the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index rising to 50 from 40 a day earlier, reflecting a shift toward more neutral sentiment.
ETF inflows signal cautious optimism
Investor interest in XRP spot ETFs remains mixed but constructive. US-listed products recorded modest inflows of $3.87 million on Monday following subdued activity at the end of last week, suggesting a cautiously bullish short- to medium-term outlook.
Cumulative inflows have now reached $1.29 billion, with total assets under management at $1.07 billion. Continued ETF demand remains a key pillar for sustaining positive sentiment and supporting the case for a broader uptrend.
In the derivatives market, momentum remains muted. Open Interest (OI) in XRP perpetual futures edged up slightly to $2.60 billion from $2.50 billion the previous day.
However, this is still well below the $10.94 billion peak seen in July, when XRP reached its all-time high of $3.66. The divergence highlights the importance of stronger retail participation to drive a more meaningful rally.
Technical outlook: XRP faces a key resistance zone
The XRP/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and efficient. XRP is&amp; trading just below the 50-day EMA at $1.41 and remains under the 100-day and 200-day EMAs at $1.51 and $1.74, indicating that upside attempts are still being capped.
Momentum indicators show mixed signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 60, pointing to mild bullish pressure but largely consistent with consolidation.
Meanwhile, a contracting negative MACD histogram suggests bearish momentum is fading.
A decisive daily close above the $1.51 resistance zone&mdash;aligned with the 100-day EMA and broader downtrend&mdash;would be needed to shift sentiment and open the path toward $1.74.
On the downside, immediate support lies at $1.39, followed by the monthly open near $1.37.

BNB price is looking to defend $620 amid Bitcoin&rsquo;s retreat from $81,000 highs.
Supply dynamics highlight $570 as potential support.
Upside catalysts could include BNB Chain ecosystem strengths and capital inflows.
BNB hovers near a key support area as bulls defend gains following retreat below the $630 level, with cautious sentiment prevailing as weak momentum shows across altcoins.
The Binance Coin&rsquo;s price thus remains under pressure amid overall caution in risk appetite. But what could trigger renewed momentum?
BNB price sees slight retreat to support
BNB&rsquo;s price hovered around $627 at the time of writing, as largely flat action in the past 24 hours kept bulls off intraday highs of $638 reached on Monday.
This pullback aligns with Bitcoin&rsquo;s partial unwind from its recent spike above $81,000, where the leading cryptocurrency briefly tested resistance before cooling off.
Despite shedding gains to under $630, traders note that BNB has successfully held the zone as critical support.
A key factor supporting this resilience is the BNB Foundation&rsquo;s recent 35th quarterly token burn, which eliminated over 1.56 million BNB tokens worth roughly $1.02 billion at the time.
This deflationary mechanism has trimmed the total BNB supply to about 134.7 million, enhancing scarcity and providing a floor against downside pressure.
Meanwhile, on-chain data reveals trading with reduced volume.
This comes as long-term holders accumulate amid the consolidation. Per CoinMarketCap, daily volume was down 9% to $1.74 billion.
Leverage &lsquo;still adjusting&rsquo;
BNB has traded in a more subdued manner since plummeting to $570 in early April, with the level key as the main support from the bloodbath in February.
Year-to-date declines have erased substantial gains.
The downturn wiped most of the explosive pump to $1,376 highs in October 2025, which occurred amid elevated leverage across the Binance ecosystem.
CoinGlass data shows that over the past 24 hours, BNB spot trading volume stood at over $109 million while BNB futures trading volume hovered around $667 million.
During this period, about $234,082 in BNB futures positions were liquidated as open interest of BNB lingered at just over $1 billion.
Analysts say the data suggest that leverage is still adjusting.
BNB price- support/resistance levels
Should prices slip below $600, analysts warn of a potential retest of deeper demand zones around $550-$570, where institutional reloads could materialize.
This negative outlook might strengthen if oil prices remain above $110 a barrel, with de-risking likely to explode if the global economy suffers amid rising inflation.
Conversely, upside potential remains. However, it could hinge on multiple catalysts.
Broader market conditions, such as sustained Bitcoin strength above $80,000, could propel BNB toward the $650-$670 resistance.
Network developments, including tokenization traction and scalability upgrades, could also act as tailwinds. A similar sentiment is likely amid fresh capital inflows as geopolitical tensions ease.

David Schwartz says his crypto exposure is now almost entirely XRP and Ripple equity.
Despite this, he still supports diversification and admits the position wasn’t fully planned.
He advises investors to take profits when gains become “life-changing,” though some ignore it and win big.
A senior voice inside Ripple has sparked fresh debate on crypto investing after revealing a highly concentrated portfolio. His remarks underscore the conflict between faith and risk-taking in the turbulent markets.
XRP Dominates Schwartz’s Portfolio
David Schwartz confirmed he now holds almost no crypto outside XRP and his stake in Ripple. The change was not a well-calculated plan but the outcome of the actions throughout years.
I have always said that if you had life changing amounts of unrealized gains in crypto, you&#8217;d have to be pretty crazy not to sell some. Of course, I also know a lot of crazy people who did really well because they didn&#8217;t listen to advice like that.
— David &#8216;JoelKatz&#8217; Schwartz (@JoelKatz) May 4, 2026
He even defined himself as a skeptic by nature as he tends to question his own decisions. The attitude, he explained, challenges him to continue trying to become better as opposed to believing that he is always right.
This cautious thinking contrasts with his current exposure. Being heavily tied to one asset is unusual for someone who openly doubts their ability to predict outcomes.

A Strong Case for Diversification
Even with his XRP-heavy position, Schwartz doesn’t advocate copying it. He argues most investors should spread capital across the crypto market.
He explained that diversification makes sense if you believe the sector will grow but aren’t confident in picking winners. For many, betting on the entire space reduces the risk of missing key opportunities.
Not A Believer in “Maximalism”
Schwartz pushed back on the idea of focusing only on one token. In his view, concentration increases risk unless you have strong conviction and timing.
His position represents a larger split in the crypto commentatorian sector where certain investors fully commit to one asset and others are more of a balanced investor.
When to Take Profits
Schwartz also addressed a topic many avoid: selling. He said investors sitting on huge unrealized gains should consider taking some profit.
According to him, holding everything through extreme gains can be irrational. Locking in part of the upside helps manage risk, especially in a market known for sharp reversals.
At the same time, he acknowledged reality is more complex. Some investors who ignored this advice and held through volatility ended up with even larger returns.

Balancing Conviction and Risk
The remarks by Schwartz point to one of the main challenges in crypto investment. Wholeheartedness in a project may lead to disproportionate returns, but it also increases vulnerability to a downside risk.
The portfolio he has personally reveals how even seasoned insiders would find themselves extremely concentrated. However, the direction of his counsel is the reverse, remain diversified and make money when there is a lot at stake.
The juxtaposition has straight forward conclusions. Within crypto, strategy can be less about ideology and more about the amount of risk that you can withstand.

XRP rose above $1.40 as Bitcoin surpassed $81,000.
A 23% surge in daily trading volume suggests sellers are active.
The CLARITY Act, ETF inflows, and regulated exposure are likely to aid bulls further.
XRP trades near the $1.40 resistance level, with recent upward momentum pushing the cryptocurrency above a key level amid overall market enthusiasm.
While the uptick has stalled following Bitcoin&rsquo;s breakout to above $81,000 and slight retreat, a pause could act as a base for fresh consolidation before XRP ticks up.
The Ripple-linked asset looked to have shrugged off news that a key insider trimmed their holdings in favour of the Ripple stock.
XRP price today
XRP is trading near the $1.40 resistance, with price action stalling at the level after the latest push higher amid Bitcoin&rsquo;s spike to above $81,000.
The Ripple-linked cryptocurrency could eye an upside extension. However, it also risks a pullback on potential profit-taking across the market.
A 23% increase in daily volume suggests that sellers are active, with bulls now in need of a decisive breakout to retain control.
Ripple CTO trimmed XRP holdings
Ripple&rsquo;s Chief Technology Officer Emeritus, David Schwartz, has publicly admitted he holds little XRP, saying he has moved most of his assets away from crypto exposure.
He revealed this via X, noting he recognizes crypto offers &ldquo;a once-in-a-generation&rdquo; wealth opportunity. However, Schwartz says he is choosing peace of mind over the potential windfall that crypto promises.
In this case, he has decided to buy Ripple stock for exposure to the company&rsquo;s fortunes without worrying about the massive volatility characterizing cryptocurrencies.
&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have that much left anymore. I&rsquo;ve tried to get most of my assets (other than Ripple stock) away from crypto exposure. As I&rsquo;ve said, I really don&rsquo;t like risk even though pretty much every risk I&rsquo;ve taken has worked out amazingly well for me,&rdquo; he noted.
XRP price outlook
The technical picture for XRP shows that the price continues to grind sideways, currently above the middle of the channel range formed since the February 2026 lows. Buyers have typically absorbed supply at $1.35 in recent weeks, with further support around $1.30.
XRP price chart by TradingView
Despite seller participation remaining steady, bulls could be positioning for a breakout above $1.50.
Meanwhile, the upsloping RSI at 52 on the daily chart supports this outlook. The daily RSI, sloping upward at 52, bolsters this view, indicating building momentum without overbought conditions.
External catalysts like the CLARITY Act, growing ETF inflows, and expanding regulated access further empower bulls.
Notably, Russia&rsquo;s Moscow Exchange (MOEX) will launch four new crypto indexes next week.
Going live on May 13 are indexes for XRP, Solana (SOL), Tron (TRX), and Binance Coin (BNB). MOEX is looking to enhance institutional visibility and liquidity.

DTCC intends to pilot tokenized securities trading in July 2026, and fully roll it out in October.
More than 50 large TradFi and crypto companies are coordinating to design the system.
The service will tokenize real-world assets, however, maintaining the rights and protections enjoyed by investors.
DTCC is hastening its prospects into tokenized finance, uniting dozens of giant institutions to transfer conventional assets onto blockchain tracks. It is an indication that the initiative is taking a very serious move towards subjecting the global capital markets to crypto infrastructure.
DTCC Sets Timeline for Tokenized Securities
The Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation confirmed it will begin limited production trades of tokenized securities in July 2026. A broader rollout is scheduled for October, marking one of the most concrete timelines yet from a major financial market infrastructure provider.
The vehicle is being constructed under The Depository Trust Company (DTC) which already protects assets worth in excess of $114 trillion. Rather than developing a parallel crypto system, DTCC seeks to modernize existing rails by integrating tokenization into the existing infrastructure.
The strategy preserves the historic protections. Tokenized assets will carry the same ownership rights, legal protections, and settlement assurances as their conventional counterparts.
50+ Firms Join Industry Working Group
More than 50 firms are contributing to the development through DTCC’s Industry Working Group. The list spans global banks, asset managers, crypto platforms, and infrastructure providers.
A Mix of TradFi and Crypto Players
The big names in the banking, trading and digital assets industry are the participants. This combination is a wider phenomenon in the industry: tokenization is no longer a niche project, a collaboration between old finance and new blockchain-based corporations.
According to DTCC, this collaboration allows to test actual workflows, between issuance and settlement, and to ensure the system can work across a variety of blockchain networks.

What Assets Will Be Tokenized
The initial scope focuses on highly liquid instruments. These are large cap U.S. equities, ETFs based on major indices, and U.S. Treasury securities.
This direction comes after receiving regulatory clearance in late 2025 when the SEC granted a No-Action Letter allowing DTCC to operate a three-year defined tokenization program. The approval limits the service to specific asset classes but gives enough room to test real market activity.
Focus on Scale, Not Experimentation
DTCC’s strategy is clear: bring tokenization to where liquidity already exists. Instead of building new markets from scratch, it is upgrading existing ones.
The executives explain that the intention is to increase efficiency, transparency and speed of settlement without undermining the very structure of financial markets. That involves adhering to the level of compliance and allowing processing based on blockchain-based processing.
Simultaneously, the tokenized asset market as a whole is rapidly growing. On-chain real-life assets have increased at a tremendous rate over the past years with tokenized equities, funds, and commodities gaining momentum.

Kresus and Canton aim to accelerate institutional blockchain deployment.
Focus shifts from pilot projects to full-scale production systems.
Hanwha partnership targets tokenized private market assets.
Kresus and the Canton Network are joining forces to push institutional blockchain use beyond the pilot stage and into production, in a collaboration aimed at making deployment easier for enterprises and financial firms.
Announced Monday in San Francisco, the effort centers on a familiar challenge in digital assets: many institutions have explored blockchain through proofs of concept, but far fewer have moved live systems into full operation.
Kresus says the new collaboration will help organizations design, build and deploy blockchain applications &ldquo;from first integration to full-scale launch,&rdquo; combining its implementation capabilities with Canton&rsquo;s institutional-grade infrastructure.
The companies said they are already working on several projects, with additional developments expected in the coming months.
Focus shifts from experimentation to execution
The collaboration is built around a practical problem that has slowed institutional blockchain adoption: implementation.
According to the companies, the aim is to reduce friction for enterprises and organizations that want to move from strategy to deployment.
That means helping clients navigate the technical and operational demands of production-grade blockchain systems rather than stopping at trials.
Kresus said the arrangement is designed to support institutions across industries, not just financial firms, as they look to deploy live blockchain solutions.
Canton&rsquo;s infrastructure is positioned as the foundation for that effort, while Kresus brings delivery capabilities intended to bridge the gap between planning and production.
Hanwha partnership highlights real-world asset push
Kresus said it is already working with leading global financial institutions to bring next-generation blockchain applications into production on Canton.
One of those efforts is its partnership with Hanwha Investment &amp; Securities, which is aimed at supporting the development of a tokenized digital asset platform focused on private market assets.
The platform is expected to enable the issuance, management and distribution of tokenized financial instruments aligned with real-world asset, or RWA, use cases.
That places the project squarely in one of the most closely watched areas in digital finance, where institutions are testing how traditional assets can be represented and managed on blockchain infrastructure.
Kresus also said it is bringing its core product stack to the Canton ecosystem. That includes enterprise-grade wallet infrastructure, tokenization systems and its secure middleware layer, KITE.
The company said these tools are designed to integrate into existing financial environments and support production deployments across payments, tokenized assets and digital asset management.
Institutional infrastructure remains the central pitch
The strategic message from both companies is clear: institutions need systems that are secure, reliable and scalable before blockchain can reach broader adoption.
&ldquo;Financial institutions are moving beyond trials and toward actual blockchain applications,&rdquo; Trevor Traina, founder and CEO of Kresus said.
The CEO added:
Success in regulated markets requires more than technology; it requires the ability to design, build, and deliver systems that meet real-world requirements. Kresus works directly with clients to bring these applications into production on Canton.
&ldquo;Institutions need secure, reliable, and scalable systems to advance digital asset adoption,&rdquo; Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset and co-founder of Canton said.
Through this collaboration, we are combining Canton&rsquo;s institutional-grade blockchain with Kresus&rsquo; ability to implement production-ready applications that meet the needs of financial institutions.

Stellar price steadies at $0.159, signaling consolidation after recent correction.
On-chain and derivatives data for XLM reflect mixed sentiment and lack a clear directional bias.
Stellar&rsquo;s native token XLM remains under pressure on Tuesday, with muted price action reflecting a broader lack of conviction across altcoins. XLM has stabilized around $0.158 as traders weigh conflicting on-chain and derivatives signals.
On-chain data hints at mild bullish bias
Data from CryptoQuant points to a neutral-to-slightly bullish backdrop for XLM. XLM presents a bullish picture, with buy-side dominance emerging but broader indicators staying largely flat. This combination points to mild bullish pressure, though not strong enough to confirm a clear trend reversal.
Data obtained from CoinGlass highlights a divided market. The long-to-short ratio sits below 1 (0.77 for XLM), indicating that a larger share of traders are positioned for downside. This typically reflects a bearish tilt in sentiment.
However, funding rate data tells a different story. XLM has flipped into positive territory, meaning long traders are paying shorts&mdash;often a sign of improving bullish sentiment and growing demand for long exposure.
The divergence between bearish positioning (long/short ratios) and improving funding rates underscores a market stuck in indecision.
Until either bullish momentum strengthens or bearish pressure intensifies, both XRP and XLM are likely to remain range-bound. A confirmed breakout above XRP&rsquo;s $1.40 resistance or stronger follow-through in XLM could provide the first real directional signal for traders.
Stellar price forecast: XLM remains in consolidation mode
The XLM/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as XLM is trading at $0.159 on Tuesday, maintaining a bearish near-term bias as it holds beneath the key EMAs.
The 50-day EMA at roughly $0.165, the 100-day EMA near $0.176, and the 200-day EMA around $0.208 all sit overhead as layered resistance, suggesting rallies are likely to be capped while the pair remains below this stack.
The RSI on the daily chart hovers around 43, suggesting subdued demand, while the MACD remains in negative territory, indicating that downside momentum persists despite recent stabilization.
If the rally persists, initial resistance is seen at the 50-day EMA around $0.165, followed by the 100-day EMA near $0.176.
A daily candle close above these levels could see XLM extend its rally towards the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $0.201, ahead of the 200-day EMA close to $0.208.
On the downside, immediate support sits on the nearby intraday pivot around the current price, with stronger support emerging toward the prior trendline break area near $0.139.
A break below this level could see XLM retest the $0.136 support zone in the near to medium term.

Bitcoin briefly topped the $81,000 mark on Tuesday, the highest level in three months.
Crypto sentiment improves, with inflows into US-listed spot ETFs totaling $154 million last week.
Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering just below the $81,000 mark on Tuesday after adding 1% to its value in the last 24 hours.&amp;
The broader crypto market remains constructive, with Ethereum (ETH) and XRP (Ripple) posting mild gains, reflecting a steady improvement in overall sentiment.
Sentiment improves as capital flows return
Market confidence is gradually recovering, supported by rising inflows into digital asset investment products. The Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index has climbed to 47 from 29 a day earlier &mdash; a sharp rebound, though still within the &ldquo;fear&rdquo; zone. Notably, this marks a significant improvement from last month&rsquo;s average of 11, which signaled extreme fear.
If this upward trend continues, it could reinforce expectations for Bitcoin to reclaim $80,000 as support and potentially grind higher toward the $90,000 level.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their fifth consecutive week of inflows, adding $154 million through Friday. While this is down from the prior week&rsquo;s $824 million, the data still highlights sustained investor appetite for crypto exposure &mdash; even amid geopolitical tensions such as the ongoing US&amp;-Iran situation.
Cumulative ETF inflows now stand at $58.72 billion, with assets under management averaging $103.78 billion, underscoring persistent institutional demand.
Bitcoin&rsquo;s recent move above $81,000 triggered notable liquidations. Short positions took the largest hit, with approximately $138 million wiped out, compared to around $46 million in long liquidations.
Bitcoin eyes the $90k psychological level
The BTC/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient as Bitcoin is trading above $80,800. While the price has reclaimed this long-term support, it remains capped below the 100-week EMA at $82,352, and the 50-week EMA at $85,777These levels continue to act as key resistance zones, limiting a full bullish breakout for now.
Momentum indicators suggest a market in recovery mode. The RSI on the daily chart sits near 48, close to neutral territory, while the MACD remains positive, signaling improving &mdash; but not dominant &mdash; bullish momentum.
If the rally persists, key resistance levels to watch include $82,352 (100-week EMA) and $85,777 (50-week EMA).&amp;
However, if the bears regain control, key support levels would be seen at&amp; $68,061 (200-week EMA) and $65,981 (trendline level).&amp;
A sustained weekly close above the upper resistance band would be needed to confirm a stronger medium-term bullish shift.

The rally above $80,000 puts the price just below short-term holders' cost basis of $81,486, the next dynamic resistance level. For the rally to continue, a daily close above this level is key to securing $80,000 as support. Bitcoin’s rally to $80,000 places the price directly under the short-term holder's realized price of $81,486. This metric reflects the average cost of coins moved over the last 155 days and indicates where recent buyers have flipped from loss to profit.A daily close above $81,500 would return these holders to profit and reduce sell-side pressure. According to crypto analyst Crazyyblockk, the short-term holder losses have narrowed to about -2.17%, showing that the overhead supply band is thinning. The long-term holders (LTHs) hold near +27% profit and are not distributing aggressively.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/bitcoin-short-term-cost-basis-approaches-profitability-but-80k-must-flip-to-support-first</link><guid>846342</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin short-term cost basis approaches profitability, but $80K must flip to support first</dc:text></item><item><title>Tether Gold tops $3.3B as demand for bullion-backed tokens rises</title><description><![CDATA[Tether’s XAUt tops $3.3 billion as gold reserves reach 154 tons, with demand rising amid geopolitical tensions and shifting expectations for Federal Reserve policy.

Prediction markets are evolving from retail speculation platforms into institutional-grade financial instruments, driven by demand for precise macro hedging and clearly defined binary outcomes, according to a May 4 report by Bernstein.The report highlights why institutional investors may find these markets attractive — namely, they allow users to hedge specific event risks, such as tariffs, elections and geopolitical developments, using contracts that resolve to simple yes-or-no outcomes.Bernstein pointed to the first bespoke institutional block trade executed on Kalshi last week as a key milestone.

The comments reflected the views of 27 registered VASPs, including the country’s five major exchanges: Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit and Gopax.DAXA said the proposal could increase suspicious transaction reports from South Korea’s five largest exchanges by 85 times, from about 63,000 cases last year to over 5.4 million, making compliance difficult in practice. The group also objected to a proposed requirement to verify the accuracy of customer information, arguing that lower-level rules add obligations not clearly set out in the underlying law. Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/south-korea-crypto-sector-warns-aml-proposal-goes-too-far-report</link><guid>846354</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>South Korea crypto sector warns AML proposal goes too far: Report</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoiners eye ‘sell in May,’ SBF’s bid for new trial shut down: Hodler’s Digest, April 26 – May 2</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin traders are split on whether the asset will hit $250,000 this year, a court rejects Sam Bankman-Fried’s motion for a new trial.]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/bitcoiners-eye-sell-in-may-sbfs-bid-for-new-trial-shut-down-hodlers-digest-april-26-may-2</link><guid>846355</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoiners eye ‘sell in May,’ SBF’s bid for new trial shut down: Hodler’s Digest, April 26 – May 2</dc:text></item><item><title>BTC price can ‘easily’ hit $95K: Five things to know in Bitcoin this week</title><description><![CDATA[Bitcoin gained fresh bullish BTC price targets after hitting new three-month highs above $80,000.Bitcoin (BTC) starts a new week in fighting form as $80,000 returns after a three-month absence.It started with a breakthrough a key 21-week trend line last week, and now, Bitcoin is back at $80,000 for the first time in three months.Data from TradingView shows new local highs of $80,617 on Bitstamp.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/btc-price-can-easily-hit-95k-five-things-to-know-in-bitcoin-this-week</link><guid>846356</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>BTC price can ‘easily’ hit $95K: Five things to know in Bitcoin this week</dc:text></item><item><title>GameStop makes $55.5B offer to buy eBay in surprise takeover bid</title><description><![CDATA[GameStop proposes a $55.5 billion cash-and-stock takeover of eBay, disclosing a 5% stake and says CEO Ryan Cohen would lead the combined company.GameStop proposed an unsolicited, non-binding $55.5 billion acquisition of eBay in a cash-and-stock deal, as the video game retailer looks to push further beyond its legacy retail business.The company on Sunday submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire 100% of eBay at $125 per share in cash and stock, according to an announcement.The offer includes a 46% premium to eBay’s unaffected closing price on Feb. 4, 2026, when GameStop began building its position in the company.

Wallets, exchanges, and fintech apps are emerging as the main entry points, shifting competition toward distribution and user experience.Singapore Summit: Meet the largest APAC brokers you know (and those you still don't!)According to Alvin Kan, this split between liquidity and access may define the next phase of the sector. Platforms like Bitget are focusing on access and usability, rather than building their own markets. The assumption is that adoption will depend more on how markets are accessed than where they are hosted. When Liquidity Meets Accessibility and User Experience The difference between using a native platform like Polymarket and accessing markets through a wallet lies in how users access and interpret them, Kan explains. “Platforms like Polymarket are effective at liquidity and price discovery, but they typically require users to navigate multiple steps and interpret raw probabilities independently. Bitget Wallet adds a layer focused on accessibility and usability,” he says. From an access standpoint, users can move from funding to execution within a single mobile interface, aiming to reduce friction. From an interpretation standpoint, AI-assisted analysis helps aggregate data, news, and on-chain signals into more structured insights. Kan describes this as a shift in the category, from building markets to making them easier to access and understand at scale. Integrations vs. Building Its Own Markets Rather than launching its own prediction market, Bitget Wallet chose to integrate with existing infrastructure, as what appears to matter most to users is access to deep, liquid, and diverse markets, Kan explains. “Building a prediction market from scratch requires significant time to bootstrap liquidity, and without that, pricing and participation tend to remain limited. Integrating with an established platform like Polymarket allows access to meaningful markets from the outset,” he says. However, this approach relies on external infrastructure for liquidity and market structure, limiting control over areas such as listings and monetisation. According to Kan, this trade-off is a deliberate choice, as the wallet focuses on improving access, usability, and distribution rather than rebuilding the market layer. How to Simplify the Complexity Prediction markets require users to understand probabilities, outcomes, and risk, which can be difficult without earlier experience. Within a wallet, this is combined with additional steps such as funding, transaction signing, and position management. According to Kan, making a complex product accessible is a main challenge. “The goal is to simplify this into a single, coherent user journey, from discovering markets to understanding them, to executing trades,” he says. “At the same time, it is critical to maintain clarity around risk and outcomes, so simplification does not come at the expense of transparency.” Compliance Tied to the Access Layer Kan points out that access is managed based on local regulatory requirements. This means that certain jurisdictions may have restrictions on prediction market participation. “As a self-custodial wallet, Bitget Wallet does not custody user assets or operate the underlying markets. Instead, it provides access to on-chain protocols while ensuring users are informed of applicable limitations and are expected to comply with local regulations.” This is consistent with a broader Web3 model, where infrastructure and interface layers are distinct, but compliance considerations remain relevant at the point of access. Where Users Will Access Prediction Markets Over Time Kan expects a hybrid model to emerge. “Dedicated platforms like Polymarket will remain central to liquidity and price discovery, particularly for more active or experienced users,” he says. However, broader adoption is likely to come through more familiar environments such as wallets and exchanges. Users are less likely to navigate separate platforms for each interaction and more likely to engage through environments where their assets are already held. “Over time, we expect liquidity to concentrate, while access becomes more distributed. Wallets are well-positioned to serve as that entry point, making prediction markets more accessible without changing where the underlying markets operate.”

By April 22, 2026, crude oil had gained 61.8% YTD, while gold rose 9.7%. Bitcoin, meanwhile, fell 10.6%, making it the weakest performer among the three assets.
In this analysis, you will understand how these three assets performed against each other, where the major differences come from, and why commodities clearly outperformed Bitcoin during this period.
Key Findings
Crude oil was the strongest performer, rising 61.8% YTD in early 2026.
Gold remained positive, gaining 9.7% YTD after a 64.7% rally in 2025.
Bitcoin was the only asset with negative returns in both periods, falling 6.4% in 2025 and another 10.6% YTD in 2026.
Crude oil outperformed Bitcoin by 72.4 percentage points, the widest gap in the comparison.
Gold outperformed Bitcoin by 20.3 percentage points, reinforcing its role as a defensive asset.
Commodities Outperform Bitcoin in Early 2026
Crude oil stands out as the strongest performer in early 2026, even after a weak 2025. It rebounded sharply to a 61.8% YTD gain, driven by tightening supply and rising geopolitical risks.
Gold also maintains solid performance. After a strong 2025, it continues to move higher, reflecting steady demand and its role as a safe-haven asset.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, remains the weakest asset in this comparison. It posts losses across both periods and has yet to show a clear recovery.
Overall, commodities are outperforming Bitcoin by a wide margin, signaling a shift in market preference toward tangible and defensive assets.
Oil Outperforms Bitcoin by 72.4 Percentage Points
The biggest gap in the analysis is between crude oil and Bitcoin.
Oil’s 61.8% YTD gain compared with Bitcoin’s 10.6% decline creates a performance gap of 72.4 percentage points. Gold also outperformed Bitcoin by 20.3 percentage points.
This gap shows how strongly market conditions have favored commodities over crypto in early 2026.
Crude Oil Pulls Ahead of Gold and Bitcoin in 2026
Bitcoin continues to trend lower without any strong recovery. Gold performs more steadily, rising gradually before stabilizing after a minor correction.
Crude oil behaves differently. It initially lags behind but then accelerates sharply, gaining strong upward momentum.
This divergence highlights how different macro drivers affect each asset class, with oil reacting quickly to supply shocks, gold responding to uncertainty, and Bitcoin remaining sensitive to liquidity conditions.
Oil Leads the Market With a 61.8% Rebound
Crude oil staged the strongest recovery among the three assets in early 2026.
After falling 20.1% in 2025, oil reversed sharply as supply conditions tightened and Middle East tensions added pressure to energy markets. By April 2026, WTI crude had climbed to $92.86 per barrel, pushing oil’s YTD return to 61.8%.
This made crude oil the clear outperformer, not only recovering from its 2025 decline but also beating both gold and Bitcoin by a wide margin.
Gold Extends Its 2025 Rally as Safe-Haven Demand Holds
Gold continued its upward trend in early 2026, building on its strong performance from the previous year.
After rising 64.7% in 2025, gold gained another 9.7% YTD by April 22, 2026. Its price increased from $2,624.26 at the end of 2024 to around $4,740.46 by April 2026.
The reason behind this strength is simple. Investors keep moving toward gold as a safe option, especially during uncertain times. Central banks are also buying more, which adds strong support. Plus, at the same time, expectations of lower interest rates help gold stay attractive.
Bitcoin Falls Further After a Negative 2025
Bitcoin remained under pressure in early 2026 and failed to regain momentum.
After declining 6.4% in 2025, Bitcoin fell another 10.6% YTD by April 22, 2026. Its price dropped from $93,508 at the end of 2024 to $87,520 at the end of 2025, before falling further to $78,195 in April 2026.
This makes Bitcoin the only asset in the comparison with negative returns across both periods. Higher interest rates, regulatory pressure, and geopolitical uncertainty have all weighed on risk appetite, limiting Bitcoin’s ability to recover.
Bitcoin, Gold, and Oil Price Trends Show a Clear Divergence
The closing price data confirms the gap between the three assets:
Bitcoin declined from $93,508 (Dec 2024) to $78,195 (April 2026), signaling a sustained downtrend.
Gold rose from $2,624 to approximately $4,740, maintaining a consistent upward trajectory.
Crude oil rebounded sharply from its 2025 lows to around $92.86, confirming a strong recovery cycle.
The result is a clear cross-asset split: oil is rebounding sharply, gold is extending its rally, and Bitcoin remains in decline.
Methodology
This analysis compares Bitcoin (BTC), Gold (XAU/USD), and Crude Oil (WTI) using daily closing prices in USD.
The 2025 return is calculated from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The 2026 YTD return is measured from December 31, 2025 to April 22, 2026.
Outperformance is expressed in percentage points relative to Bitcoin, which is used as the base asset for comparison. For the indexed performance chart, all asset prices are indexed to 100 on January 2, 2026.

Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has reminded digital
asset firms that they have less than two months to lodge an Australian
Financial Services (AFS) license application or risk falling foul of the
country's financial services laws.Singapore Summit: Meet the largest
APAC brokers you know (and those you still don't!)The Clock Is Ticking on
Australia's Crypto License SweepThe
regulator said today (Monday) that providers offering services tied to digital
asset financial products must decide whether they need a new AFS license, or a
variation to an existing one, and apply by June 30, 2026. After that date,
ASIC's sector-wide no-action position falls away, exposing unlicensed firms to
civil and criminal penalties that can reach up to 10% of annual turnover.Companies
seeking an Australian Market Licence or a Clearing and Settlement facility license
face an additional step. They must notify ASIC in writing of their intention to
apply and hold a pre-application meeting before the same June 30 deadline.ASIC's Information Sheet 225, refreshed
last year, now
classifies stablecoins, wrapped tokens, tokenised securities and digital asset
wallets as financial products under the Corporations Act.That
definition pulls a much wider slice of the local crypto industry into the AFS
licensing perimeter than the previous interpretation, which centered on
platforms trading conventional digital tokens.What the No-Action Window
Actually BuysThe
no-action letter, published in October 2025, gave providers a runway to digest
the updated guidance and either apply for fresh authorizations or vary existing
ones. ASIC has
said the position is not a safe harbor against private litigation or non-ASIC
enforcement, and it expires for everyone on the same date.Some firms
can comply by becoming an authorized representative of an existing AFS licensee
rather than securing their own license, depending on the services they provide.
ASIC has
also kept in place earlier relief instruments covering the distribution of certain stablecoins
and wrapped tokens.
Those carve-outs currently apply to a single issuer, Catena Digital, which
issues the AUDM stablecoin.The
licensing pipeline has already started to swell. ASIC granted 290 new AFS licenses in the financial year to June 2025
while cancelling or suspending 215 others, with applications from digital asset
operators rising notably, Commissioner Alan Kirkland said at the time.How Australia's Approach
Compares to Global PeersAustralia
is moving toward a destination several other major jurisdictions have already
reached, though by a different route. The
European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation took full effect in
December 2024, requiring exchanges, wallet providers and stablecoin issuers to
obtain a MiCA license to operate across the bloc.
Penalties for non-compliance under MiCA can reach 12.5% of annual turnover,
slightly above Australia's threshold.In Asia,
Hong Kong opened its stablecoin licensing regime in April and granted its first
approvals to HSBC and Anchorpoint. Japan moved its crypto sector under the
Financial Instruments and Exchange Act earlier this year and banned insider
trading in digital assets. Singapore
continues to license payment service providers under its 2019 Payment Services
Act.Enforcement Track Record
Adds PressureRecent
enforcement gives the deadline real teeth. The Federal Court of Australia fined Binance Australia Derivatives
AU$10 million in March after the company admitted misclassifying more than 85% of its local
clients. In December
2024, Bit Trade, the local operator of
Kraken, paid AU$8
million over a leveraged margin extension product the court found breached
design and distribution obligations.ASIC has
also flagged offshore venues offering high-leverage products to Australians,
including a public warning against Bitget over its 125x crypto futures. The
regulator has signalled that the same scrutiny will follow firms that miss the
AFS license window.A Second Deadline Comes in
2027The June 30
cutoff is not the end of the road. The Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets
Framework) Act 2026, which cleared parliament on April 1, received Royal Assent on April 8
and commences April 9, 2027. It introduces dedicated authorizations for digital
asset platforms and tokenized custody platforms, both supervised by ASIC.Many firms
that secure an AFS license under the current INFO 225 guidance will need to add
DAP or TCP authorizations once the new regime starts. ASIC has published a
roadmap covering its consultation timetable and the operational standards it
expects to set during the 18-month implementation period."Licensing
firms improves investor protections and provides greater certainty to providers
to operate under the law," ASIC said in its statement.

The survey also found that nearly half trust a traditional bank over a crypto platform, and two-thirds want Congress to impose strict regulations or broad oversight principles on AI.The numbers spell trouble for candidates taking money from industry-aligned super PACs. In hypothetical matchups, poll respondents were far less likely to back candidates supported by groups pushing looser AI regulations than those backed by groups calling for tighter tech rules.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/americans-distrust-crypto-ai-as-industry-super-pacs-flood-midterms-poll-finds</link><guid>846064</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Americans distrust crypto, AI as industry super PACs flood midterms, poll finds</dc:text></item><item><title>Iran’s largest crypto exchange founded by sons of family tied to supreme leaders: Reuters</title><description><![CDATA[Nobitex, Iran’s largest crypto exchange, was founded by brothers linked to the powerful Kharrazi family, which has ties to the country’s supreme leaders.

It argues that state-level crackdowns, ranging from cease-and-desist letters to criminal charges, are creating barriers that undermine the federal agency’s mandate to provide “impartial access to its markets and services.”In recent weeks alone, the CFTC has filed lawsuits against Illinois, Arizona, Connecticut, New York and Wisconsin, claiming that those states overstepped by trying to regulate markets that fall under federal jurisdiction. A16z backed that position, arguing that forcing exchanges to block users based on their state of residence directly conflicts with the CFTC’s impartial access rules.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/a16z-sides-with-cftc-against-states-seeking-to-ban-prediction-markets</link><guid>845838</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>A16z sides with CFTC against states seeking to ban prediction markets</dc:text></item><item><title>Riot posts $167M in Q1 revenue as data center arm pulls in $33M in first quarter</title><description><![CDATA[Riot Platforms reported $167.2 million in Q1 2026 revenue, with its new data center business contributing $33.2 million as Bitcoin mining income fell.Riot Platforms posted $167.2 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2026, with its newly launched data center business contributing $33.2 million.The data center revenue helped offset a decline in Riot’s core Bitcoin mining business, which fell to $111.9 million from $142.9 million in Q1 2025, driven by lower average Bitcoin prices and a 24% rise in the global network hash rate. Riot produced 1,473 Bitcoin during the quarter, down from 1,530 a year earlier, while the average cost to mine one coin increased to $44,629 from $43,808, according to an announcement.“The first quarter of 2026 marks a definitive inflection point for Riot, as we officially transitioned into an active, revenue-generating data center operator,” CEO Jason Les said, adding that AMD’s decision to double its contracted capacity to 50 megawatts during the quarter validated the company's ability to execute at institutional scale.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/riot-posts-167m-in-q1-revenue-as-data-center-arm-pulls-in-33m-in-first-quarter</link><guid>845769</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Riot posts $167M in Q1 revenue as data center arm pulls in $33M in first quarter</dc:text></item><item><title>CryptoGames Casino 2026: How Blockchain Is Changing Online Gambling </title><description><![CDATA[Growth of Crypto Casinos in the Digital Economy 
The online gambling industry has undergone a profound transformation over the past decade, largely driven by the integration of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Traditional online casinos once dominated the space, but they often struggled with slow payment systems, geographic restrictions, and concerns about transparency. Crypto casinos emerged as a response to these limitations, offering a decentralized alternative that prioritizes speed, accessibility, and fairness. As more players become familiar with digital currencies, platforms like CryptoGames are gaining traction for their innovative approach. The appeal lies not only in the novelty of crypto but also in the tangible improvements to the user experience. Players are no longer bound by banking hours or regional payment barriers. Instead, they can engage with games instantly from virtually anywhere in the world. This shift reflects broader trends in decentralized finance and increased user control over transactions. As of 2026, crypto casinos are expanding in adoption, though their prevalence varies by region and regulation. 
Key Features of CryptoGames 
CryptoGames is one example of a crypto casino that integrates blockchain technology with online gaming features.  The platform is designed with both simplicity and depth in mind, making it accessible to beginners while still appealing to experienced players. The interface is designed to be simple, with minimal visual elements that prioritize gameplay.  Unlike many older platforms that rely on outdated visuals, CryptoGames emphasizes modern design and smooth performance. This design approach may contribute to improved usability and user engagement. The platform’s architecture is built to support scalability, ensuring consistent performance even during high traffic. As a result, users experience minimal lag and fast loading times. Consistent performance may influence how users perceive the platform’s reliability. In competitive markets, consistent performance is one factor that may influence user preference. 
Transaction Speed and Efficiency in Crypto Casinos 
One of the most significant advantages of crypto casinos is the speed of financial transactions. Traditional casinos often rely on banking systems that can delay withdrawals for days, sometimes even weeks. In contrast, CryptoGames leverages blockchain networks to process transactions almost instantly. Deposits are typically confirmed within seconds, allowing players to start gaming without waiting. Withdrawals are similarly efficient, eliminating one of the biggest frustrations in online gambling. This speed is particularly valuable for players who prioritize liquidity and control over their funds. Additionally, the absence of intermediaries reduces transaction fees in many cases. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin provide flexibility and global accessibility. Players are no longer limited by currency exchange rates or banking restrictions. This efficiency may influence how users manage transactions on online gaming platforms. 
Accessibility and Decentralized Finance in Online Gambling 
Crypto casinos remove many of the traditional barriers associated with online gambling. Geographic restrictions, banking limitations, and identity verification hurdles are significantly reduced. Platforms like CryptoGames allow users to participate with minimal friction, often requiring only a crypto wallet to get started. This accessibility can expand availability to users in regions with limited access to traditional gambling services, depending on local regulations.  Decentralized finance (DeFi) plays a key role in enabling this inclusivity. By bypassing centralized institutions, users gain more control over their funds and personal data. This approach may offer increased privacy compared to traditional systems, depending on how the platform is implemented. The result is a more open and user-centric ecosystem. As adoption grows, this model is likely to become increasingly dominant.
Provably Fair Systems and Transparency in Crypto Gambling 
Trust has always been a critical issue in online gambling, and crypto casinos address this through provably fair systems. CryptoGames implements cryptographic algorithms that allow players to verify the fairness of each game outcome. This means that results are not controlled solely by the platform but can be independently checked by users. The concept of provable fairness introduces a new level of transparency to the industry. Players no longer have to rely on blind trust or third-party audits. Instead, they can see the mathematical proof behind each result. This transparency may contribute to increased user trust over time. It may influence expectations for transparency among similar platforms.  As more players become aware of this feature, it is becoming a key factor in choosing a platform.
Game Selection and User Engagement in Crypto Casinos 
A successful crypto casino must offer a diverse range of games to maintain user interest. CryptoGames provides a curated selection that includes classic and modern titles such as Dice, Slots, Blackjack, Roulette, and more. Each game is designed with intuitive controls and clear instructions, making them easy to learn. At the same time, they offer enough complexity to keep experienced players engaged. The platform avoids overwhelming users with excessive options, focusing instead on quality over quantity. This approach results in a more refined gaming experience. Players can quickly find their preferred games without unnecessary navigation. The inclusion of features like progressive jackpots adds an extra layer of excitement. The platform is designed to balance ease of use with a range of features. 
Technology Infrastructure and Platform Performance 
Advanced technology is at the core of CryptoGames’ success. The platform leverages modern web infrastructure to deliver fast and reliable performance across devices. Whether accessed on desktop or mobile, the experience remains consistent and responsive. This cross-platform compatibility is essential in today’s mobile-first world. Additionally, the integration of blockchain ensures data integrity and security. Some discussions in the industry also point toward future integration with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. While still emerging, IoT could further personalize gaming experiences by connecting devices and user preferences. This forward-thinking approach positions CryptoGames as a platform ready for future innovations. Technology is not just a feature here—it is the foundation of the entire ecosystem.
Reward Systems and Long-Term User Engagement 
Sustainable player engagement often depends on well-designed reward systems. CryptoGames focuses on long-term value rather than short-lived promotional bursts. Loyalty programs, VIP tiers, and ongoing incentives encourage users to stay active on the platform. This strategy fosters a sense of progression and achievement. Players are rewarded not just for winning but for consistent participation. Such systems create a more balanced and enjoyable environment. This approach focuses on long-term user engagement through structured reward systems. It also aligns with the platform’s broader philosophy of fairness and transparency. Over time, this may contribute to more consistent user activity. 
Future Trends in Crypto Casinos and Online Gambling 
The trajectory of crypto casinos suggests continued growth and innovation in the coming years. Platforms like CryptoGames are setting benchmarks that others will likely follow. As blockchain technology evolves, new features and capabilities will emerge. These may include enhanced security protocols, smarter contracts, and deeper integration with decentralized ecosystems. User expectations will also rise, pushing platforms to maintain high standards. The combination of speed, transparency, and accessibility will remain central to success. Crypto casinos are emerging as an alternative model that may influence the direction of the online gambling industry. In this context, platforms like CryptoGames illustrate one possible direction for the evolution of online gambling.

for a democratic financial revolution. It envisioned a world where the rigid,
exclusionary walls of traditional banking would be replaced by transparent,
automated, permissionless systems. As we move through 2026, that early optimism
has given way to a more sober reality.Singapore
Summit: Meet the largest APAC brokers you know (and those you still don't!)While the technology remains
powerful, the economic foundations of most DeFi lending protocols are still
structurally weak. Much of the system operates on reflexivity, where value is
borrowed from the future to support the present. Without a shift from internal
speculation toward external utility, the ecosystem risks long-term irrelevance.Recursive Lending Without Productive OutputAt the core of the problem is the circular nature of DeFi
lending. In traditional finance, loans fund productive activity that generates
real economic output. In DeFi, lending is largely recursive. Users deposit
volatile assets, borrow stablecoins, and
often recycle them back into the same assets.This creates leverage loops that
function in bull markets but produce no real economic surplus. Yield is driven
not by productivity, but by demand for leverage among speculators, making the
system heavily dependent on rising asset prices.Inflationary Tokens Attract Mercenary LiquidityThis fragility is reinforced by inflationary tokenomics.
Many protocols rely on liquidity mining incentives paid in governance tokens to
attract capital. This creates mercenary liquidity that
constantly chases the highest yield. These tokens often have limited real
utility, meaning their value depends heavily on future buyers. When prices
fall, yields collapse, liquidity exits, and protocols can spiral quickly. The
collapse of Iron Finance in 2021 illustrated this dynamic clearly, as its
partially collateralized stablecoin system broke down rapidly once confidence
eroded.Over-Collateralization Limits Real AccessCapital inefficiency is another structural flaw. Traditional
banking extends credit based on trust and repayment history, while DeFi is overwhelmingly
over-collateralized. Borrowers must lock up more value than they receive, often
making the system unusable for those who actually need capital. A small
business in an emerging market cannot access DeFi credit if it requires holding
150% collateral in volatile crypto assets. As a
result, the system favors capital-rich speculators rather than real economic
participants.Automated Liquidations Amplify Market StressSystemic risk is further amplified by liquidation cascades.
Smart contracts automatically liquidate positions when collateral falls below
thresholds. In volatile markets, these forced sales push prices lower,
triggering further liquidations in a feedback loop. The collapse of the
Terra/Luna ecosystem in 2022 showed how quickly this can escalate. Anchor
Protocol’s unsustainable yield attracted massive inflows, but once the
stablecoin peg failed, cascading liquidations wiped out tens of billions and
spread contagion across the broader market.Real World Assets Stabilize Yield BaseTo become sustainable, DeFi must integrate real-world
assets. Closed-loop crypto economies cannot sustain themselves indefinitely.
Lending protocols need exposure to external sources of yield such as government
debt, trade finance, and private credit. MakerDAO, now rebranded as Sky
Protocol, has already moved heavily into U.S. Treasuries and private credit,
creating more stable income streams during downturns. This shifts protocols
closer to blockchain-based investment structures, though concerns remain that
much of the value still depends on off-chain systems rather than fully on-chain
economic logic.Credit Systems Replace Collateral DependenceAnother key evolution is decentralized identity and on-chain
credit scoring. Moving beyond over-collateralized lending is essential for real
adoption. Zero-knowledge proofs allow borrowers to demonstrate creditworthiness
without revealing sensitive data, enabling risk assessment based on financial
history rather than collateral alone.DeFi is inevitable, but only if it can support the existing financial system.Real-world assets are giving the industry the chance it needs to find its footing in traditional market structure. https://t.co/XP6NjHEu0Q— Plume (@plumenetwork) April 29, 2026This could eventually allow DeFi to
extend credit to real businesses in emerging markets, bringing productive
activity onto the blockchain instead of purely speculative flows.Modular Design Reduces Systemic ContagionProtocol design also needs to become more modular. Early
DeFi systems relied on shared liquidity pools, which are highly vulnerable to
contagion. Newer models are introducing isolated markets where failures are
contained rather than spreading across the entire system. Aave has already
taken steps in this direction with isolation modes and risk segmentation.
Combined with better insurance mechanisms and improved smart contract security,
these changes could make DeFi more resilient and attractive to institutional
capital.Speculative Culture Undermines StabilityWe must also recognize that sustainability is as much about
human behavior as it is about code. The culture of "get rich quick"
schemes and astronomical annual percentage yields must be replaced by a culture
of risk-adjusted returns and long-term value creation. Regulatory clarity will
play a vital role here. While some in the crypto space fear
oversight, a clear legal framework provides the certainty needed for legitimate
businesses to build on-chain. When investors can distinguish between a
high-risk speculative play and a regulated, asset-backed lending product, the
market will naturally gravitate toward the more sustainable options.Meanwhile, watch out for the falling yields. Do not be
caught by surprise.

rules that allow tokenized funds to operate fully within the existing
authorized fund regime, rather than in separate experimental structures.Singapore Summit: Meet the largest APAC brokers you know (and those you still don't!).The changes give asset managers a clearer route to keep fund
registers on blockchain and to use an optional Direct‑to‑Fund
(D2F) dealing model, while keeping current investor protection standards in
place.Onchain Fund Registers Under the Blueprint ModelIn Policy Statement PS26/7, the FCA confirms that authorized
funds can run their unitholder registers on distributed ledger technology using
the industry “Blueprint” model.Onchain transaction records may serve as the primary books
and records for unit deals, and firms do not need a full off‑chain
mirror if they maintain appropriate operational resilience plans.The guidance applies to UCITS and other authorized funds and
allows registers to sit on public DLT networks if firms meet the regulator’s
expectations on governance, data privacy and financial crime controls. Units in a single share class can be recorded across
multiple blockchains as long as investors’ rights and the structure of charges
remain the same.Direct-to-Fund Dealing Model to Support TokenizationThe main rule change is the introduction of the optional
Direct‑to‑Fund
dealing model, which alters how subscriptions and redemptions are processed.
Under D2F, the fund or its depositary, rather than the asset manager, becomes
the counterparty to investor trades, so units are issued or canceled directly
against cash flows between investors and the fund in a single step.The FCA says this should make operations more efficient and
easier to align with onchain or shortened settlement cycles. Following industry
feedback, the regulator will still allow managers to deal as principal in units
of a fund using D2F and to combine different dealing models within an umbrella
structure.Looking ahead, the FCA outlines a roadmap from tokenized
funds to tokenized assets and ultimately tokenized cash flows, including models
where investors hold tokenized assets in digital wallets and managers use smart
contracts to manage portfolios.Keep reading: “Tokenisation Isn’t About Technology”: Singapore Builds Cross-Border Market InfrastructureIt also signals openness to waivers that would let funds use
digital cash and stablecoins for settlement and certain expenses, ahead of a
broader crypto asset and stablecoin regime due to take effect in October 2027.The FCA's journey toward approving tokenized funds has been
building since 2023, when it collaborated with industry groups to publish the
UK Blueprint model outlining how firms could run tokenized unitholder registers
within existing legal frameworks.Running parallel to this tokenization roadmap, the FCA has
been developing a comprehensive crypto asset regulatory regime that began with
legislation passed in February 2026. It launched a sterling stablecoin sandbox in
March 2026, and will open firm authorization applications in September ahead of the full regime taking effect next year.

That level capped the price earlier in March when BTC fell to $62,000 from $75,600 in two weeks, but now it aligns as a potential support pivot.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/bitcoins-75k-cost-basis-emerges-as-key-support-zone-for-current-bull-trend</link><guid>845246</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin’s $75K cost basis emerges as key support zone for current bull trend</dc:text></item><item><title>Sentora brings institutional DeFi to the public with the launch of its Smart Yield platform</title><description><![CDATA[Sentora has announced that Sentora Smart Yield is now publicly available, opening access to its DeFi vault discovery and monitoring platform to all users.April 30, 2026 – Sentora has announced that Sentora Smart Yield is now publicly available, opening access to its DeFi vault discovery and monitoring platform to all users.As DeFi vaults become a core way capital moves onchain, Sentora is opening public access to the same research-led yield infrastructure it has used to support institutional deployments.This comes as vaults have become a key part of DeFi infrastructure, and risk curators already account for nearly $7 billion in DeFi capital through curated vault structures.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/sentora-brings-institutional-defi-to-the-public-with-the-launch-of-its-smart-yield-platform</link><guid>845247</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Sentora brings institutional DeFi to the public with the launch of its Smart Yield platform</dc:text></item><item><title>Insider trading backlash forces Polymarket to step up surveillance</title><description><![CDATA[Polymarket has selected Chainalysis to flag suspicious trades as insider betting concerns mount and regulators tighten scrutiny on prediction markets.

Ondo price hovers around $0.26 after bouncing off crucial support.
Ondo leads tokenized stocks, ETFs with over $825M TVL peak.
Failure to hold support could see ONDO dip to $0.20.
Ondo (ONDO) is trading near a critical psychological support zone, with intraday action including a retest of resistance above $0.26.
The token is poised at these levels as on&#8209;chain activity around tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracts institutional and retail capital.
However, with prices pegged in a narrow range below $0.30 since early February, could the broader real&#8209;world asset (RWA) sector growth buoy ONDO?
Ondo Finance powers access to tokenized stocks and ETFs
Ondo Finance has emerged as one of the largest platforms for tokenized stocks and ETFs.
Currently, it accounts for over half of the sector&rsquo;s total market by value, with RWA&#8209;focused analytics trackers showing the protocol hitting over $825 million in total value locked (TVL) at peak.
The traction cuts across more than 250 tokenized US stocks and ETFs, including blue&#8209;chip names such as NVDA, AAPL, and major ETFs like SPY and QQQ.
These assets are now available across Solana, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, giving holders cross&#8209;chain exposure and liquidity via major wallets, exchanges, custodians, and protocols such as Binance, Bitget, MetaMask, Ledger, and Blockchain.com.
In a bid to deepen maturity, Ondo recently announced a collaboration with Broadridge.
The aim is to enable holders of over 250 tokenized stocks and ETFs to participate in proxy voting and receive regulatory filings and issuer communications related to these securities.
Separately, more than 260 Ondo&#8209;backed tokenized products are now listed on the KuCoin Web3 Wallet, signaling growing integration into mainstream crypto infrastructure.
Despite this momentum, ONDO&rsquo;s price has remained subdued, raising questions about the lag between protocol&#8209;level growth and token&#8209;price performance.
ONDO price technical analysis: can bulls reclaim $0.30?
From a technical standpoint, ONDO is currently navigating a short&#8209;term bearish backdrop as the price consolidates near $0.26.
Ondo price chart by TradingView
The daily chart shows the relative strength index (RSI) in a neutral zone, suggesting neither extreme overbought nor oversold conditions, while the MACD signal line remains negative, underscoring underlying bearish momentum.
Key support clusters lie around $0.24-$0.26, a decisive zone for both bulls and bears.
If price breaks lower, it could open the path toward $0.20, whereas a sustained hold above $0.26 may invite a retest of the recent range high near $0.27&amp;-$0.28.
The key target for bulls will be a fresh run to $0.30, a level last seen in mid-February.
On the weekly timeframe, RSI is drifting toward oversold territory, and price is trading below key exponential moving averages (EMAs).
This hints at exhaustion but also suggests bulls need a clear breakout above resistance to shift the overall bias.

An OG Shiba Inu whale sold 800 billion SHIB for $4.9 million.
SHIB held $0.0000060 support, trading near $0.0000063.
If buyers absorb selling pressure further, SHIB could revisit $0.0000075 resistance.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) price is showing resilience around $0.0000063, with bulls holding near a critical support level despite a major sell-off by a whale.
The memecoin&rsquo;s slight dip and intraday rebound come as cryptocurrencies navigate broader market headwinds. SHIB&rsquo;s daily performance also saw a 17% spike in trading volume, which stood at $170 million as of Thursday.
OG Whale sells 800 billion SHIB for $4.9 million
Dogecoin dominated memecoin headlines this week as a double-digit bounce pushed the DOGE token above $0.10. The gains were also reflected in peers like Shiba Inu, with SHIB rising to highs of $0.0000065.
On April 29, Bitcoin fell below $75,000 following the Fed&rsquo;s interest rate decision.
DOGE slipped below the psychological level, while SHIB declined to $0.0000060.
The dip coincided with a pivotal transaction from one of Shiba Inu&rsquo;s original whales, who initially acquired 103.33 trillion SHIB tokens in 2020 for just $13,760.
The purchase represented 16.84% of the token&rsquo;s total supply at launch.
On April 30, 2026, the wallet offloaded 800 billion SHIB, netting roughly $4.9 million.
This sale forms part of a broader divestment strategy: in recent years, the whale has liquidated 4.06 trillion SHIB, generating $37.6 million in proceeds.
Notably, the address still holds 99.27 trillion SHIB, currently valued at about $625.41 million.
&amp;
An OG whale, who once spent $13,760 to buy 103.33T $SHIB (worth $8.9B at peak), sold another 800B $SHIB($4.9M) today.
This OG spent only $13,760 to buy 103.33T $SHIB, sold 4.06T $SHIB for $37.6M over the past few years, and still holds 99.27T $SHIB($625.41M) &mdash; 16.84% of the&hellip; pic.twitter.com/F0bB0VP5t0
&mdash; Lookonchain (@lookonchain) April 30, 2026
Such moves by early holders often signal profit-taking after prolonged appreciation, typically putting pressure on prices. However, SHIB&rsquo;s resilience above $0.0000060 suggests buyers are stepping in on dips.
Shiba Inu price forecast
SHIB&rsquo;s price trajectory reflects mixed signals amid recent market swings.
Over the past week, the token posted modest gains as rival memecoin Dogecoin surged past $0.10, supported by renewed retail enthusiasm.
However, the past 24 hours have brought renewed pressure, with SHIB dipping slightly after Bitcoin retreated following the Federal Reserve&rsquo;s April 29, 2026, policy announcement.
The Fed&rsquo;s decision to hold rates steady added to uncertainty, triggering a broader crypto sell-off, with rising oil prices adding to the pressure.
SHIB has held firm at its key support in the $0.0000060&amp;-$0.0000063 range, as accumulation absorbs much of the selling pressure.
If buyers maintain momentum, bulls could target resistance at $0.0000075.
A breakout above this level could open the door to $0.000008, particularly if Bitcoin rebounds.
Shiba Inu price chart by TradingView
Currently, the RSI and MACD on the daily chart suggest potential upside momentum.
On the downside, failure to hold support could see SHIB test $0.0000058.
With overall market sentiment still fragile, SHIB&rsquo;s direction will depend on sustained buying interest and broader macroeconomic cues.

Nexo adds SOL, XRP to its 0% APR crypto-backed credit product.
ZiC lets users borrow at 0% interest with no liquidation risk.
Over 30% of Nexo loans now use non-BTC, ETH collateral.
Nexo has expanded its Zero-interest Credit (ZiC) offering to include Solana (SOL) and Ripple (XRP) as eligible collateral, marking what it says is an industry first for zero-interest, no-liquidation lending backed by these assets.
The move broadens access to interest-free borrowing beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), which previously dominated the platform&rsquo;s collateral base.
The announcement comes as crypto-backed lending continues to evolve, with platforms seeking to attract a wider investor base by offering more flexible borrowing structures tied to digital assets.
Expansion beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum
Nexo said the addition of SOL and XRP reflects shifting collateral trends on its platform.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum still account for around 70% of total collateral volume&mdash;closely mirroring their broader market dominance&mdash;more than 30% of loans are now backed by alternative crypto assets.
SOL and XRP lead this segment, prompting the platform to extend its flagship ZiC product to these tokens.
The company said the move allows a broader group of users to access liquidity without selling their holdings.
&ldquo;Nexo has always believed in being where the market is going, not where it already is. Zero-interest Credit set a new standard for Bitcoin and Ethereum holders, and expanding it to Solana and Ripple is the logical next step, one we are taking before anyone else,&rdquo; said Elitsa Taskova, Chief Product Officer at Nexo.
How the zero-interest credit product works
ZiC enables users to borrow stablecoins at 0% APR over a fixed term, with no risk of forced liquidation during the loan period.
The structure includes predefined repayment terms visible at the outset, offering greater predictability compared to traditional crypto lending products.
For SOL and XRP-backed loans, ZiC operates at a 30% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, with minimum collateral requirements set at 100 SOL or 5,000 XRP.
The core proposition remains unchanged: users can unlock liquidity while maintaining exposure to their crypto holdings.
The product has already seen notable traction. Nexo reported more than $170 million in total loan volume through ZiC, alongside a 66% borrower renewal rate and an average of four renewals per user.
More than half of the borrowed funds remain on the platform, indicating that users are leveraging liquidity while staying invested.
Growing relevance of crypto-backed lending
The expansion comes amid increasing recognition of crypto-collateralized financing in traditional financial systems.
In March 2026, US mortgage agency Fannie Mae began accepting crypto-backed mortgages, allowing borrowers to pledge Bitcoin without liquidating their assets.
Nexo positioned its ZiC offering within this broader trend, emphasizing demand for liquidity solutions that do not require asset sales.
The company said extending the product to SOL and XRP aligns with growing diversification in crypto portfolios and evolving borrower preferences.

Real Finance, Wiener Privatbank partner for regulated blockchain access.
EU-compliant framework enables institutional entry into on-chain markets.
MVP targets $50 million, scaling to over $500 million tokenized assets in year one.
In a move that underscores the growing convergence between traditional finance and digital assets, Real Finance has announced a strategic partnership with Vienna-based Wiener Privatbank.
The partnership is to develop regulated infrastructure for institutional participation in blockchain-based financial markets.
The collaboration aims to create a framework that aligns blockchain innovation with established European regulatory standards, potentially opening new pathways for institutional capital to enter on-chain ecosystems.
Building a regulated gateway to on-chain markets
At the core of the partnership is the integration of traditional banking services with the REAL blockchain.
Wiener Privatbank will provide essential financial infrastructure, including custody of client funds, reserve safeguarding, and support for asset origination.
Client funds will be held in EU-regulated accounts, with compliance structured around frameworks such as MiCA, alongside standard know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) procedures.
The framework is designed to address key institutional concerns around legal clarity, operational transparency, and risk management.
By embedding these controls within the system, the partnership seeks to make blockchain-based financial products more accessible to regulated financial institutions that require robust compliance and governance standards.
Scaling tokenized assets within a controlled framework
The collaboration will begin with a minimum viable product (MVP) phase expected to support approximately $50 million in on-chain assets.
Following the launch of the REAL blockchain mainnet, the partners aim to scale significantly, targeting more than $500 million in tokenized assets within the first year.
Wiener Privatbank will also play a role in originating and structuring euro-denominated assets, contributing to liquidity development within what the companies describe as a regulated digital asset environment.
This focus on euro-based instruments reflects an effort to align blockchain offerings with the needs of European institutional investors.
Looking ahead, the companies plan to explore the issuance of a euro-denominated stablecoin native to the REAL blockchain.
However, this initiative remains subject to further regulatory assessment and structuring, indicating a cautious approach to compliance and oversight.
Aligning innovation with institutional standards
Executives from both organizations emphasized the importance of combining innovation with regulatory integrity.
Ivo Grigorov, CEO of Real Finance, said the partnership reflects a commitment to building infrastructure that meets institutional expectations.
This partnership reflects our commitment to building institutional-grade infrastructure that meets the expectations of regulated financial institutions. By working with Wiener Privatbank, we are ensuring that access to on-chain markets is underpinned by robust compliance standards, clear governance, and trusted banking relationships.
Michael Munterl, a member of the Executive Board at Wiener Privatbank, highlighted the shared focus on regulatory integrity and innovation.
Our collaboration with Real Finance is grounded in a shared focus on regulatory integrity and innovation. We see this partnership as an opportunity to extend established banking standards into emerging digital asset infrastructures, while maintaining the compliance, transparency, and client protection principles that define our institution.
The REAL blockchain itself is designed to support the tokenization and distribution of real-world assets within a controlled environment.
Through partnerships with regulated financial institutions, Real Finance aims to create infrastructure where traditional finance and blockchain systems can operate within clearly defined regulatory parameters.

OKX said Wednesday that the cross-chain standard can handle agent-to-agent payments, recurring or top-up payment flows and other automated payment arrangements across business processes. The company also said agents will be able to negotiate with each other, escrow funds and release them on verified task delivery.OKX said the framework is built around its self-custodial Agentic Wallet and Payment SDK, with support on X Layer and broader cross-chain implementation. The company is pitching the protocol as a way for AI agents to move from simple payment requests to more autonomous commercial activity.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/okx-rolls-out-protocol-for-autonomous-ai-agents-to-pay-and-transact</link><guid>845261</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>OKX rolls out protocol for autonomous AI agents to pay and transact</dc:text></item><item><title>Crypto hack losses top $630M in April, highest since February 2025</title><description><![CDATA[Losses from crypto hacks have topped $630 million in April across more than 25 hacks, with DeFi dominating major incidents and exploits accelerating despite security updates.The cryptocurrency industry has seen a sharp spike in hacks in April, with losses topping $600 million in the worst month for crypto hacks in more than a year.According to DeFiLlama, the total value hacked in April so far amounted to $629.7 million, the highest since $1.47 billion in February 2025. With KelpDAO’s $293 million hack and Drift Protocol’s $280 million exploit accounting for 82% of the monthly losses, decentralized finance (DeFi) has taken the unwanted crown as the most targeted sector over the past month.

More importantly, we are making people less willing to deal with the regime,” Bessent said, adding that retirement funds and overseas real estate held by Iranian officials are also being targeted.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/us-seized-500m-in-iranian-crypto-assets-treasury-secretary-says</link><guid>845120</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>US seized $500M in Iranian crypto assets, Treasury secretary says</dc:text></item><item><title>South Korea’s Shinhan Card taps Solana to test real-world stablecoin payments</title><description><![CDATA[Shinhan Card signed a deal with Solana Foundation to expand stablecoin payment tests and explore non-custodial wallets and DeFi-based services.One of South Korea’s largest credit card providers, Shinhan Card, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Solana Foundation to test stablecoin payment technology and explore the use of non-custodial wallets through a more advanced follow-on proof of concept (PoC). Following a joint pilot project completed at the beginning of April, the new partnership will conduct a more “advanced” PoC to explore the commercial feasibility of stablecoin payments for merchants and customers seeking an improved payment experience, Shinhan Card announced on Thursday.The partnership will also explore developing a “hybrid financial model” that combines traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/south-koreas-shinhan-card-taps-solana-to-test-real-world-stablecoin-payments</link><guid>845121</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>South Korea’s Shinhan Card taps Solana to test real-world stablecoin payments</dc:text></item><item><title>Australia draft payments vision eyes stablecoin interoperability</title><description><![CDATA[A draft vision for Australia’s domestic payments system says stablecoins and tokenized fiat currency could reshape how money moves across future rails.Australia’s future account-to-account (A2A) payment systems may need to adapt if tokenized forms of money gain broader use, including stablecoins and tokenized liabilities, according to a draft vision for the country’s domestic payment rails.The draft, co-developed by the Account-to-Account Payments Roundtable, which includes AusPayNet, Australian Payments Plus, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Commonwealth Treasury, identifies digital assets as one of several external forces that could affect future A2A payments. “Tokenised forms of money, such as stablecoins and tokenised liabilities, are moving from experimentation to adoption,” the draft said, adding that the shift reflects a move toward programmable, ledger-based value that could enable new settlement models, continuous availability and more automated execution. Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/australia-draft-payments-vision-eyes-stablecoin-interoperability</link><guid>845122</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Australia draft payments vision eyes stablecoin interoperability</dc:text></item><item><title>Crypto becomes most muted topic on X, and AI slop may be the culprit</title><description><![CDATA[Crypto has become the most-muted topic on X since the platform launched its snooze feature, with AI-generated spam and InfoFi posting likely driving users to tune it out.Crypto has topped the list of most-muted topics on X since the platform rolled out its snooze feature, with spam and artificial intelligence content, or "AI slop," likely playing a major role.On Thursday, Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, revealed that crypto has become the most-muted topic ahead of politics, the Iran conflict, sports and business and finance, a notable shift in a platform that was once the heartbeat of Crypto Twitter.The snooze feature, which lets Premium subscribers hide topics from their For You feed for 24 hours, was launched on April 22. At the time, Bier described the tool as a way for users to “crank up or turn down the slop,” apparently a nod to the flood of low-quality content that has increasingly plagued the platform.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/crypto-becomes-most-muted-topic-on-x-and-ai-slop-may-be-the-culprit</link><guid>845123</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Crypto becomes most muted topic on X, and AI slop may be the culprit</dc:text></item><item><title>Ethereum to $60K?

What is Mercado Bitcoin?
Mercado Bitcoin (MB) is one of Brazil&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. It was started in 2013 as a simple exchange for buying and selling Bitcoin, but today, it has since evolved into a one-stop hub for crypto trading within the broader financial industry and digital asset market, including tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), staking, NFTs, and even a digital bank account.
The platform now offers access to more than 650 assets, including over 350 cryptocurrencies and hundreds of tokenized bonds, commodities, and real‑estate assets. It supports deposits in Brazilian reals via Pix, TED, and DOC bank transfers, and it even offers a digital account called MB Pay. Basically, this digital account is regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil and operates like a payment institution, letting you make instant payments, receive a prepaid Mastercard, and use your crypto as collateral for credit lines.

Where is Mercado Bitcoin Located?
Mercado Bitcoin was founded and is headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. The company’s parent company (2TM Group) runs a network of crypto and fintech businesses across Latin America. MB also operates an office in Lisbon, Portugal, following 2TM’s acquisition of the Portuguese exchange Criptoloja.
Now, even though MB serves millions of Brazilians, its services are restricted to people who hold a Brazilian taxpayer identification number (CPF) and a local address. So, that means you can’t sign up without Brazilian residency. 
Hence, if you’re looking for a platform with global availability, you should consider alternatives like Binance or Bitget, which accept customers in more than 180 countries.

Mercado Bitcoin vs. Binance
Binance is clearly better than Mercado Bitcoin in almost every global trading aspect. You will get way more coins, lower trading fees starting at just 0.10%, and access to futures trading with up to 125x leverage, which MB simply does not offer. Basically, if you are an active trader, MB feels a bit limited because it only supports spot trading and focuses mainly on Brazil.
Binance also wins in liquidity and tools. You get launchpads, staking, margin, copy trading, and advanced charting. MB focuses more on simplicity and local banking integration like Pix, which is great, but not enough for global traders.
So, if you want advanced trading features and lower costs, you should use Binance and start with our Binance referral code to sign up and get fee discounts and bonuses. MB works better only if you want a simple BRL-based experience.

Mercado Bitcoin vs. MEXC
MEXC is mainly best for traders who want maximum coins and lowest fees, and this is where it completely beats Mercado Bitcoin. You get access to over 3,000+ cryptocurrencies and futures trading with ultra-low fees like 0% maker and 0.02% taker.
Now, another big difference is leverage. MEXC offers up to 200x leverage, which is honestly huge for advanced traders, while MB offers no leverage at all. So, if you like high-risk, high-reward trading, MB is not even an option. But yes, MB still feels safer and more regulated, especially for Brazilian users. MEXC sometimes operates in less regulated regions, so you need to be careful about that. You can use our MEXC referral code to register.

Mercado Bitcoin vs. Bitget
Bitget stands out mainly because of its copy trading and derivatives ecosystem, which Mercado Bitcoin completely lacks. You can follow professional traders, use trading bots, and trade futures with up to 125x leverage. Also, fees are another area where Bitget wins. It offers competitive spot fees around 0.10% and even lower futures fees, while MB starts much higher.
Bitget also has a strong global presence, while MB is restricted to Brazil. So, accessibility and flexibility are clearly better on Bitget. Hence, if you want advanced tools like copy trading and lower costs, you can sign up using a Bitget referral code deal.

Advantages of Mercado Bitcoin
Strong regulation and audits by Brazil’s Central Bank and EY give you confidence that the platform is well run.
Deep integration with local banking; you can deposit and withdraw BRL for free via Pix, TED, or DOC and use MB Pay as a digital account.
It offers a wide range of assets, including hundreds of cryptocurrencies, tokenized bonds, and staking products, so you can diversify your portfolio.
You have passive income options through staking and tokenized fixed‑income tokens, offering yields that can beat traditional savings accounts.
A curated NFT marketplace and educational resources in Portuguese help you explore the crypto world safely.
Disadvantages of Mercado Bitcoin
It has higher base trading fees (up to 0.7%per trade) compared with global exchanges; I guess discounts only come with large volumes or use of the pro interface.
Only Brazilian residents with a CPF can register, excluding international users.
There are no margin or futures trading contracts, limiting advanced strategies.
The trading Interface and customer support are exclusively in Portuguese, which is hard for non‑speakers.
What Are Mercado Bitcoin&#8217;s Fees?
Mercado Bitcoin charges trading fees starting at 0.30% maker and 0.70% taker (lower with volume), offers free BRL deposits and withdrawals, and applies only network (gas) fees on crypto withdrawals.
Mercado Bitcoin Trading Fees
Mercado Bitcoin uses a maker–taker fee model and a progressive fee schedule based on your trading volume over the previous 30 days. The base fee for BRL‑denominated trades is 0.30% for makers and 0.70% for takers.
Basically, new users can easily enjoy “zero trading fees” for the first 48 hours after account creation. After that, fees decrease gradually as your monthly volume increases, reaching as low as 0.015% maker and 0.25% taker for volumes above R$200 million.
Actually, fees apply only to BRL pairs; crypto‑to‑crypto trades are free. However, quick trades (where you buy instantly) may include a spread of up to 2%. So, if you are looking for very low trading fees, you should check out the MEXC exchange. It applies 0% maker and 0.05% taker fees only.

Mercado Bitcoin Deposit Fees
You can deposit Brazilian reals and it is free. You can fund your account via Pix transfers, bank transfers (TED or DOC), or via the MB Pay digital account. The minimum deposit is only R$1, and funds are credited instantly via Pix or within the same business day via TED. 
Plus, depositing cryptocurrencies is also free, though the blockchain network may charge a miner fee for sending from your external wallet.
Mercado Bitcoin Withdrawal Fees
You can withdraw BRL to your bank via Pix or TED, which is generally free, but MB imposes daily withdrawal limits. So, unverified accounts can withdraw up to R$1,000 per day, while verified accounts can withdraw up to R$50,000. Also, cryptocurrencies can be withdrawn to an external wallet for free from MB’s side; you only pay the network fee set by the underlying blockchain.
Best Mercado Bitcoin Features and Trading Tools
The top MB features are spot trading, MB Pay digital account, staking services, tokenized real-world assets (MB Tokens), and an NFT marketplace.
Mercado Bitcoin Spot Trading
Spot trading on Mercado Bitcoin is a straightforward process that allows you to swap assets immediately once you have deposited BRL or crypto into your account. Well, you basically have two choices here: the quick interface for beginners or the pro interface for more experienced folks. 
Quick trades are great if you just want to trade fast, but you should know there is often a spread of up to 2%, which kind of acts like an extra hidden fee on your trade. The pro interface is much more detailed and shows you the real-time order books. 
It lets you place more complex order types like limit orders, stop orders, and stop-limits to manage your risk better. Right now, there are hundreds of trading pairs available, and most of them are paired with BRL or USDT. Also, we noticed that the liquidity is quite deep for the big names like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but some of the smaller tokens might have wider spreads.
Mercado Bitcoin Staking and Earning
Staking and earning features on Mercado Bitcoin provide multiple ways for you to generate passive income through blockchain validation and tokenized debt instruments. You can basically lock up your coins like Ethereum, Solana, Chiliz, Near, and Cardano to start getting annual yields right away. Here, annual rates usually range from about 2% to over 15%, and the exact number really just depends on which network you decide to use. 
Now, besides regular staking, MB has tokenized fixed-income products that are quite unique in the crypto space. Some tokens are even denominated in Euros and pay out yields around 8% per year. You can also find Brazilian corporate bonds that yield between 12% and 15% annually.
Mercado Bitcoin NFT Marketplace
The Mercado Bitcoin NFT marketplace operates as a curated ecosystem where only verified brands and artists can list digital collectibles for sale. Now, to participate, you must have an active MB account and a BRL balance. The marketplace works only in Portuguese. 
You can browse collections, read about the artists, and buy NFTs instantly. At the moment, MB allows buyers but restricts sellers: you cannot mint or list your own NFTs without approval, and some collections permit withdrawals to an external wallet only after contacting support.
Mercado Bitcoin Security and Privacy
The top Mercado Bitcoin security measures are cold storage for funds, two-factor authentication (2FA), proof-of-reserves, regulatory oversight, and regular audits by Ernst &amp; Young.
Cold storage: Most user funds are kept in offline cold wallets with multi-signature access, which helps keep assets secure and reduces the risk of online hacks.
2FA and biometric authentication: You must enable two‑factor authentication to withdraw funds. The mobile app also supports fingerprint or face recognition for logins. Plus, during large withdrawals, MB may ask for additional identity verification.
Proof of reserves: MB provides periodic proof‑of‑reserves reports showing that it holds assets matching customer balances. This transparency reduces fears of fractional reserves.
Regulatory oversight: The Central Bank of Brazil and the Securities Commission (CVM) monitor MB’s operations. MB complies with anti‑money‑laundering laws and data protection regulations.
Audits by EY: Ernst &amp; Young audits MB’s financial statements and custody systems. It gives users confidence that funds are handled properly.
Insurance and Fintech Segura: MB participates in the Fintech Segura program and maintains insurance coverage for operational risks. It also invests heavily in penetration testing and security partnerships.
Is Mercado Bitcoin Safe?
Yes, Mercado Bitcoin is one of the safest options for Brazilian crypto users. It has operated for more than a decade without a major security breach, and its strong security infrastructure separates client funds from company resources while being audited by EY. It also holds regulatory licences and insurance that many smaller exchanges lack.
However, you know, like any centralized exchange, MB requires you to trust that it will manage your keys properly. Hence, if you value complete self‑custody, you might prefer using a hardware wallet (Ledger or Trezor) after purchasing crypto on MB. But again, for day‑to‑day trading and staking, MB’s safety infrastructure should meet most users’ needs.
How To Create an Account and Start Trading on Mercado Bitcoin?
Step 1: Create an account 
You can start by visiting the Mercado Bitcoin website or downloading the mobile app. Then enter your email and create a strong password to register your account. The platform will send you a verification link, so you can just click that to confirm your email and activate your account.
Step 2: Complete ID verification 
You need to verify your identity by submitting your CPF number, personal details, and uploading a government ID along with a selfie. The MB exchange checks your information to comply with regulations, and approval usually comes within a few minutes to a few hours. You see, this step is important because it unlocks full features like deposits, withdrawals, and higher limits.
Step 3: Deposit funds 
You can deposit Brazilian reals using Pix or bank transfer, which is usually free and quite fast. Plus, you can also deposit crypto by copying your wallet address and sending funds from another wallet. But again, most users prefer Pix because it’s instant from your bank account without fees, so you can start trading without waiting.
Step 4: Start cryptocurrency trading
You can now buy or sell crypto using the simple interface for quick transactions or switch to the pro mode for better pricing and charts. It’s a good idea to explore both options, and you can also check staking or other earning features once your funds are in.
How To Withdraw From Mercado Bitcoin Exchange?
Go to the Withdraw section: You need to navigate to your dashboard and click on the “Withdraw” option under your account balance.
Select destination: Now, you should choose your linked bank account or enter your crypto wallet address carefully before proceeding. 
Enter amount and confirm: Input the withdrawal amount and submit the request with verification, then wait for processing (usually within 1 business day). You will have to enter your 2FA code to authorize the withdrawal
Mercado Bitcoin Customer Support
Mercado Bitcoin provides customer support via chat, email, and the app around the clock. But remember, all assistance is in Portuguese, which is fine if you’re local. 
MB has received the RA 1000 award for customer service and maintains a helpful knowledge base with articles about deposits, withdrawals, staking, and tokenization. So, overall, the quality of support ranks among the best in Brazil, but the lack of English assistance could frustrate international users.
Mercado Bitcoin Mobile App and User Experience
The Mercado Bitcoin mobile app offers a very polished user interface. Well, we have reviewed a lot of crypto apps, and think the layout here is pretty intuitive compared to others. You can easily find everything because the app groups products into clear categories like fixed income, stablecoins, passive income, and baskets.
You can view real-time prices and set specific price alerts so you never miss a move. The platform also lets you switch between quick and pro trading modes depending on how much detail you want to see. Honestly, logging in is also fast since it supports biometric authentication like your fingerprint or face ID.
The app has over 1 million downloads on the Google Play Store alone. The ratings are generally high, often sitting around 4/5 stars. But again, the biggest downside is that everything in the app is in Portuguese. You are going to find navigation really tough unless you speak the language well. 
Also, the MB app links directly to “MB Pay”. You can basically pay your bills and send Pix transfers without ever leaving the crypto environment. So, it is super convenient for Brazilian users who want just one app for their whole financial life.
Conclusion: Who Should Use Mercado Bitcoin Exchange?
To sum up our Mercado Bitcoin exchange review, it is the ideal choice for Brazilian residents who value local regulatory compliance and easy BRL banking integration. It’s great for beginners because you can deposit local currency instantly, trade without worrying about hidden fees or regulatory grey areas, and earn passive income through staking and tokenized bonds. Plus, MB’s integration with Pix and its digital account truly makes it a bridge between traditional finance and crypto.
But if you’re looking for global access, lower trading fees, or advanced products like futures and copy trading, MB is not for you. You should choose exchanges such as Binance, MEXC, and Bitget, as they offer hundreds or even thousands of coins, cross‑border payment options, leveraged products, and a multilingual interface.

However, Meta does not offer a built-in conversion option, so an external exchange is required to convert USDC into fiat currency, according to the announcement on Wednesday. The service is currently available only to select creators in Colombia and the Philippines, but Polygon said Wednesday that the stablecoin rollout is expected to expand to more jurisdictions soon.Read more]]></description><link>https://coinsnews.com/meta-rolls-out-stablecoin-payouts-for-creators-in-philippines-colombia</link><guid>845126</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Meta rolls out stablecoin payouts for creators in Philippines, Colombia</dc:text></item><item><title>ETH Price Prediction: $2,100 Retest Before $2,800 Recovery by June 2026</title><description><![CDATA[Ethereum's technical breakdown below $2,300 support sets up a likely drop to $2,100 over the next 2-3 weeks, but the current setup suggests a powerful bounce toward $2,800 by mid-2026.

This move would put it in direct competition with Kalshi and Polymarket.Singapore Summit: Meet the largest APAC brokers you know (and those you still don't!)The proposal, known as HIP-4, would let users trade outcome contracts on real-world events alongside Hyperliquid’s existing leveraged perpetual futures. Early versions are already running on testnet, while a mainnet rollout has not yet been scheduled.Yes for the HIP-4.— Hyperliquid News (@HyperliquidNews) April 29, 2026
Why Integration Matters Here
What makes Hyperliquid a credible entrant is not volume alone — it is the architecture. The platform runs on its own L1 blockchain and HyperCore engine, enabling a unified trading environment. A single account can hold event bets, Bitcoin positions, and commodity exposure against the same collateral pool.For sophisticated traders, that means cross-margining across market types — a feature absent from platforms built around prediction markets as a standalone product.
"Sophisticated traders will be able to take advantage of portfolio margin and figure out ways to generate alpha from these two different market types," said Sunny Shi, an investor at crypto fund Syncracy Capital.
Hyperliquid also does not need to build an audience for prediction markets. It is distributing the product to an existing and active base of traders.
Movement in Both Directions
Hyperliquid's entry coincides with prediction market platforms pushing the other way. Kalshi has announced a perpetual futures product called Timeless. Polymarket is launching 10x leveraged contracts on Bitcoin, Nvidia, and gold.
Each platform is approaching the convergence from a different position. Kalshi is operating as a CFTC-regulated exchange and is building toward regulatory legitimacy in the U.S. market. Polymarket is leaning on its crypto-native interface and global reach. Hyperliquid is treating prediction market contracts as one more instrument type on a high-throughput derivatives engine.
What This Means for the Industry
The competition is shifting from product creativity to infrastructure. Hyperliquid’s model depends on factors it cannot fully control, including oracle reliability, resolution disputes, and retail engagement with event contracts.Some market participants are skeptical that Hyperliquid will compete directly with Kalshi or Polymarket for retail volume. Its interface and distribution model are geared more toward experienced traders, suggesting that demand may come primarily from users looking to hedge or trade event contracts alongside existing derivatives positions.Im following @HyperliquidX hip4 prediction markets but imo they will not compete with @Polymarket or @Kalshi for retail volume The hl interface is just miles away from being retail friendly and even with builder codes implementing the markets i see the existing distribution… pic.twitter.com/x9wFPVyq2Z— James Ross (@jamesrosst) April 28, 2026Those are unresolved questions, and the $1 trillion annual volume figure cited by proponents for 2030 reflects projections, not a current trajectory.

Bitcoin dropped to lows of $74,958 before stabilizing above $75,000.
The decline also coincided with tighter liquidity in traditional equity markets.
Crypto stocks fell sharply as short&#8209;term volatility hit risk assets.
Bitcoin price briefly slipped to below $75,000 on Wednesday as the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, dimming hopes for near&#8209;term rate cuts and triggering a broad&#8209;based sell-off in risk assets.
The move weighed heavily on crypto&#8209;linked equities, with Coinbase, Riot Platforms, and MicroStrategy among the hardest hit.
Bitcoin dips to $75k as Fed holds rates
Bitcoin fell to roughly the $75,000 level, trimming earlier gains after the US central bank opted to keep borrowing costs unchanged, signaling a more cautious stance on monetary easing.
The decision reinforced expectations of a higher&#8209;for&#8209;longer rate environment, prompting investors to pare back exposure to volatile assets tied to speculative growth narratives.
Market data as of writing showed that over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin had logged a modest decline of about 1.4% as it hovered around $75,156.
The combination of elevated yields and geopolitical uncertainty has continued to dampen risk appetite, capping BTC below $80,000.

Crypto stocks tumble amid weak trading signals
The Fed&rsquo;s in&#8209;line&#8209;but&#8209;hawkish&#8209;leaning decision spilled into crypto&#8209;related stocks, which had already been under pressure from disappointing revenue trends.
Robinhood (HOOD) led the slide, plunging 14% after reporting an almost 47% year&#8209;over&#8209;year drop in crypto&#8209;related revenues for the first quarter.
The steep contraction was widely interpreted as a sign of weaker trading volumes and fading retail enthusiasm for digital assets.
The pessimism spread across the sector.
US crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) fell 7%, while Bullish (BLSH), the institutional platform owned by CoinDesk&rsquo;s parent company, likewise dropped 7%. Gemini (GEMI) declined 5%.
Bitcoin miners also sold off, with Riot Platforms (RIOT) and Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) both slipping 4%&amp;-6% as the softer Bitcoin price and elevated energy costs squeezed margins.
MicroStrategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, retreated 4%.
Oil surge adds to risk&#8209;off mood
The deterioration in sentiment extended beyond crypto, as US equities broadly declined and energy prices spiked.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed more than 300 points, pressured in part by a surge in oil that followed President Trump&rsquo;s comments on Iran.
In a Wednesday interview with Axios, Trump stated he would maintain a US blockade at the Strait of Hormuz until a nuclear&#8209;related deal with Iran is reached, heightening concerns over supply disruptions in one of the world&rsquo;s most critical oil chokepoints.
Brent crude climbed more than 4% above $111 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude topped $106 per barrel, further fueling inflation&#8209;sensitive market jitters and reinforcing the risk&#8209;off tone that weighed on Bitcoin and crypto stocks.

year. Bitwise plans to terminate its funds shortly after outcomes are decided,
while GraniteShares uses a rolling structure similar to Roundhill.Prediction contracts already trade on platforms such as
Polymarket and Kalshi, but ETFs could expand access by allowing investors to
hold these exposures in standard brokerage accounts and some retirement plans.Regulatory uncertainty remains. The Commodity Futures
Trading Commission withdrew a proposal in February that would have banned political event contracts. However, state regulators in jurisdictions including
Massachusetts, New York, and Nevada continue to challenge these contracts in
court.The CFTC’s latest move is to formally start writing prediction‑market rules instead of handling them case by case. Last month, it published an advance notice asking the public how event‑based contracts, like those tied to elections or economic data, should be regulated, including what types of events should be allowed or restricted. At the same time, CFTC staff issued guidance to US exchanges that list these contracts, reminding them that prediction markets fall under derivatives law and must meet existing exchange standards.

Visa offers five additional blockchains, including Polygon, Base, Arc, Canton, and Tempo, to the stablecoin settlement program
The network is achieving a run rate of $7B annualized, more than 50% in a quarter
Polygon is the largest chain in terms of USD stablecoin received and spent
As the payments presented as stablecoins shift to real-world payments, Visa is gaining pace on its multi-chain strategy. The recent growth also includes five additional blockchains in its settlement network, making it much more flexible to partners.
Visa Expands to Five New Blockchains
Visa has introduced Polygon, Base, Arc, Canton, and Tempo to its global settlement program using stablecoins. This makes it a total of nine networks supported. It has been a decisive step to a multi-chain environment. Visa does not make use of one blockchain anymore; now partners are free to select the one that suits them best.
The program is scaling fast. Visa reported a $7 billion annualized settlement volume, up 50% in one quarter. This rate of growth is an indication that blockchain-based settlement is in demand within institutions.

Polygon Leads Among New Additions
Polygon is also the best new network to buy based on its dominance in the stablecoin activity. It already circulates a large proportion of the world&#8217;s USD- based transfers. Key performance highlights entail the following:
34% of all USD stablecoin transfers
54% of USDC transfers
Millions of active users weekly
These indicators demonstrate that Polygon is already production-sized and can be used to realize actual financial settlement, instead of just experiments.

Real-World Usage Drives Selection
The infrastructure of Polygon enables high throughputs of transactions at low costs and rapid finalization. The transactions are normally settled within a few seconds and at minimal costs of less than one cent.
Major institutions, such as fintech companies and asset managers, have already used the network to settle. This has been the current adoption, which presumably led Visa to make the decision.
Multi-Chain Settlement Becomes Standard
The growth of Visa points to an industry trend. Financial institutions are now not devoting themselves to one blockchain. Rather, they are establishing connections between networks to:
Access deeper liquidity
Optimize costs
Improve transaction speed
Visa is adding each blockchain to fulfill a separate purpose. Others are performance and cost-effectiveness oriented, whereas others are compliance oriented or financial niche-oriented.
Stablecoins Move Closer to Mainstream Payments
Global finance is turning into a stablecoin settlement layer. Visa has already launched over 130 card programs that connect to stablecoins in over 50 countries.
These applications enable users to use digital assets and allow merchants to convert them into fiat, bridging the two worlds of traditional finance and blockchain. These five blockchains enhance this infrastructure. It provides partners with additional avenues to transfer money in seconds, without using conventional banking rails.
Infrastructure Competition Intensifies
The race between blockchains is shifting toward real performance. The factors that are currently facing institutional adoption are speed, cost and reliability.
Polygon’s strong usage metrics, combined with Visa’s broader multi-chain expansion, show that the market is moving beyond experimentation. Blockchain networks are now competing to power actual global payment flows.

There was a rejection of the request for a retrial filed by Sam Bankman-Fried by a federal judge who ruled there were no valid claims of “new evidence” and testimony from the witnesses
The court ruled the supposed witnesses were not newly discovered and that some claims were speculative and baseless
This is another blow to the ongoing appeals case of Bankman Fried and will strengthen the guilty verdict regarding the fraud case involving FTX
The attempt by Sam Bankman-Fried to reargue one of the largest criminal cases in crypto was met with a bang after the U.S. federal judge denied a retrial. The decision becomes a significant blow to the ex-FTX boss because he still is appealing his conviction.

Judge Rejects SBF Push to Reopen FTX Fraud Case
In a terse order, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied the motion, rejecting arguments that newly discovered witnesses or evidence warranted a retrial. Bankman-Fried had then suggested that former insiders would be able to testify to undermine aspects of the prosecution case, especially those related to the insolvency and loss of customers of FTX.
The court disagreed. Kaplan explained that the witnesses mentioned by Bankman-Fried were known prior to trial, thus did not qualify under the legal standard of “newly discovered” evidence. The order also observed that Bankman-Fried had the right to request or coerce them to give their testimony at the earliest bracket of proceedings but failed to do so.
The rationale right bisected the motion. The court also denied the request by Bankman-Fried that the case be handled by another judge based on the rationale that the request to recuse was way after the time and was also not reasonable.

Court Pushes Back on “Reputation Rescue” Narrative
One of the most striking parts of the order focused on what the judge described as a broader effort by Bankman-Fried to rebuild his image after FTX collapsed.
Kaplan cited media appearances, social posts, and messaging to the masses which he claimed was part of a long-term agenda to recast the case narrative. The judge proposed that the request to retrial fell in that pattern and not offer any real legal pleas.
Witness Claims Face Sharp Scrutiny
The judge deemed such claims to be feeble based on various reasons such as credibility issue and the fact that there was no sworn evidence that was reliable to substantiate what those witnesses allegedly would have said. The order also denounced the claims of government pressure on witnesses; these claims were refuted by the record.
This decision could be taken away as one of the possible means of relief, since the 25-year sentence along with his conviction is also being appealed by Bankman-Fried, who is also seeking to have any other option.

The ApeCoin token has shed 12% of its price value in the past 24 hours.
Pudgy Penguins and Blur have also dipped as NFT sector tokens suffer profit-taking.
APE faces potential deeper losses to $0.081 unless fresh catalysts emerge.
ApeCoin (APE), the governance token powering the ApeCoin ecosystem tied to the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs, has seen a sharp reversal.
After riding a brief NFT sector rally, APE plunged 12% over the past 24 hours and was trading around $0.14 at the time of writing.
The decline erased much of its intraday gains, during which the token briefly surged above $0.18. The losses highlight the volatile nature of meme and NFT-linked tokens amid broader market profit-taking.
APE pares gains after sector rally fades
ApeCoin&rsquo;s downturn follows a broader NFT sector rally that lifted several related tokens before momentum faded. The token surged over the past week alongside peers such as Pudgy Penguins&rsquo; PENGU and Blur&rsquo;s BLUR, driven by renewed hype around non-fungible tokens.
PENGU, for instance, climbed as the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection&rsquo;s floor price spiked, drawing speculative inflows into the ecosystem. BAYC floor prices also rose during the rally.
However, the momentum proved short-lived. Both PENGU and APE have since given up a significant portion of their gains, with PENGU&rsquo;s daily trading volume dropping 50% to $132 million.
The pullback reflects profit-taking after NFT-linked assets briefly outperformed the broader market.
APE&rsquo;s retreat mirrors this trend, as traders exited positions amid fading enthusiasm.
Data from CoinMarketCap shows APE&rsquo;s 24-hour trading volume surged to nearly $300 million at the peak before normalizing as selling pressure increased.
The token&rsquo;s failure to hold above the key $0.18 resistance level points to weakening buyer conviction, further accelerating the decline.
What next for APE token?
Like most meme and NFT-related tokens, ApeCoin faces an uncertain near-term outlook, largely tied to cooling sentiment in the NFT market.
While spikes in NFT activity often support tokens like APE, the broader market&rsquo;s lack of sustained momentum has limited upside.
ApeCoin price chart by TradingView
Analysts point to ongoing weakness in NFT fundamentals, with sales volumes and transaction activity failing to match the hype-driven price surges seen in recent weeks.
Data from platforms such as OpenSea and Blur indicate a decline in overall NFT sales over the past seven days, putting additional pressure on ecosystem tokens.
From a technical perspective, indicators suggest the possibility of further downside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has pulled back from overbought levels and is trending around 68. While not yet bearish, a move toward 50 or lower could open the door for a retest of the all-time low near $0.081.
On the upside, a recovery in sentiment could push APE toward the $0.20 and $0.30 levels, though that would likely require renewed strength in the broader NFT market.

XRP is currently trading at $1.38, down over 3% in the past week.
The XRP Ledger has attracted over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets.
XRP could retest $1.25 or lower if bearish pressure persists.
Ripple cryptocurrency XRP is trading largely flat over the past 24 hours, as buyers struggle to decisively breach the $1.40 level following an intraday uptick from lows of $1.36.
The price performance&mdash;showing XRP down on the weekly timeframe and up just 5% over the past month&mdash;contrasts with a sharp spike in the value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger.
XRP Ledger hits $3 billion RWA value
While XRP continues to struggle for upside momentum, bullish sentiment appears to be building around the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
The network has reached a milestone of $3 billion in total tokenized real-world asset value, marking a notable 55% increase over the past 30 days.
According to data from rwa.xyz, XRPL&rsquo;s growing RWA ecosystem now includes more than 290 active projects.
On-chain activity is also reflected in 3,819 unique RWA holders, while the stablecoin market capitalization on XRPL exceeds $508 million.
Among specific projects, the largest RWA on XRPL is Justtoken&rsquo;s JMWH token, a tokenized commodities asset valued at over $1.76 billion.
Meanwhile, Ripple&rsquo;s native RLUSD stablecoin accounts for more than $400 million in tokenized value, while Ondo Finance&rsquo;s short-term US Treasury products and VERT Capital&rsquo;s asset-backed credit contribute approximately $323 million and $139 million, respectively.
Market experts view XRPL&rsquo;s RWA growth as a sign of increasing institutional adoption and confidence, with the potential to drive further network utility.
XRP price analysis
Despite the surge in RWA activity, XRP&rsquo;s price remains capped below $1.50, as bulls face persistent pressure from macroeconomic headwinds and profit-taking.
The token has been in a broader downtrend since peaking at $3.67 in July 2025, with declines accelerating during major market sell-offs on October 10, 2025, and February 5, 2026, when prices dropped to lows of $1.58 and $1.13, respectively.
Recent weakness&mdash;including a pullback to $1.36&mdash;highlights the importance of the 50-day simple moving average as a key technical level.
From a chart perspective, XRP is trading within a descending triangle pattern on the daily timeframe.
The relative strength index (RSI) is hovering around 48 and trending lower, while a bearish MACD crossover reinforces near-term caution.
XRP price chart by TradingView
Despite the cautious technical outlook, potential inflows from a future XRP ETF and improving macro or geopolitical conditions could lift broader crypto sentiment.
If RWA growth continues, strengthening on-chain metrics&mdash;such as rising holder counts and stablecoin total value locked&mdash;may provide additional support.
In the short term, XRP risks a move toward $1.25 if downside pressure persists.
However, a sustained break above $1.45 could open the door to $1.70. In a more bullish, RWA-driven scenario, $2.00 and the key $3.00 level emerge as major resistance zones.

Bitwise CIO, Matt Hougan, argues Strategy has been a main driver of a 20% Bitcoin rebound, going by its purchase of $7.2 billion of Bitcoin
Strategic convenience is covering the purchases with the help of STRC, a preferred equity instrument with high yields that may cover billions of extra BTC
Hougan believes Strategy can still issue another $10 billion or $15 billion without having to worry about being over-leveraged
The current run of Bitcoin might be getting corporate capital engineering rather than just spot demand. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan says that the application of STRC financing by Strategy is currently a significant contributor to the recent Bitcoin strength and the purchases might not soon come to an end.
Strategy’s STRC Machine Is Driving Bitcoin Demand
Hougan identifies the approximately $7.2 billion in Bitcoin acquisitions by Strategy over the last eight weeks as a focal point to the resurgence of BTC, which had declined at a time when Strategy had been aggressively acquiring the assets.
Although spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and accumulation of long-term holders were also signals to support any price action, he believes Strategy is the largest single buyer that has influenced the market movement.
This is known as STRC, a perpetual preferred stock which is aimed at raising capital with a goal of raising the price to $100 a share with a dividend of 11.5% which is immediate. The capital is then in large scale redirected to purchases of Bitcoin.
This structure has been attractive in that Strategy will access new funds without solely using common equity and traditional debt markets. Effectively, it establishes a systematic avenue of treasury-led Bitcoin amassing.
Read More: Saylor Claims STRC Beats S&amp;P 500 Volatility While Paying 11.5% Yield Surge
Why Investors Are Watching the 33% Threshold
One of the metrics, as pointed out by Hougan, is the obligations of Strategy as opposed to holding Bitcoin. According to him, the amount of debt and preferred equity amounts to approximately $21 billion in comparison to approximately $63 billion in Bitcoin, which is approximately a third of the balance of Bitcoin-backed in his balance sheet. That ratio matters.
According to Hougan, it is possible that the markets will turn more cautious as soon as leverage approaches 50%, yet as it currently stands there remains the possibility of an extra $10-$15 billion issued by STRC. Assuming that capital is invested in Bitcoin, it might be one more significant surge of demand.

STRC Yield Could Keep Attracting Capital
The bullish argument is based in part on an 11.5% yield of STRC. As several credit instruments with greater risk of losing money are priced at a lower price, Hougan asserts that the preferred shares could still be appealing to buyers in search of an income, particularly when they consider the Bitcoin reserves at Strategy as a safety net to back the arrangement.
The issuance cycle could continue to be active due to that demand. The model is not devoid of risks. Provided that Bitcoin remains stagnant over a few years or lever increases too aggressively, then dividend pressure would be an issue. But the thesis put forward by Hougan is that that risk is neutralized by a large portion of the further BTC growth.

AAVE price consolidates as market awaits recovery clarity.
rsETH recovery plan addresses $246M bad debt from the Kelp DAO exploit.
The immediate resistance sits at $100 as governance execution drives the outlook.
AAVE token is currently priced at $97.13, down 0.3% over the past 24 hours, while the broader market has remained slightly positive.
That difference has kept AAVE in focus, not because of broad weakness, but because traders are waiting to see whether the proposed recovery plan designed to restore rsETH collateral after the Kelp DAO exploit can be executed cleanly.
The key question is whether the recovery effort can remove uncertainty fast enough to allow the token to reclaim the $100 mark and hold above it.
rsETH collateral recovery plan takes centre stage
The main driver behind AAVE&rsquo;s current setup is the technical plan proposed to rebuild rsETH collateral after the exploit linked to Kelp DAO.
The exploit left about $246 million in bad debt across Aave and Compound, creating pressure for a coordinated solution rather than a simple market fix.
The proposed plan is designed to restore backing for rsETH and reduce the fallout without spreading the losses across users.
https://t.co/9eUfrt0ESE&mdash; Aave (@aave) April 28, 2026
At the centre of the proposal is a governance-led process across Ethereum and Arbitrum.
The plan calls for temporary oracle adjustments and the liquidation of the attacker&rsquo;s positions in a controlled way. That makes the recovery effort more structured, but also more dependent on execution.
Traders are now watching the proposal as a practical test of whether Aave Protocol can repair collateral damage without introducing more risk.
In the short term, that uncertainty has kept sentiment measured, even though the plan itself is aimed at stabilising the system.
AAVE price outlook
AAVE&rsquo;s near-term outlook now depends heavily on how the recovery plan unfolds.
On a technical standpoint, the immediate support is near $96. The token has already spent time close to that area, and a failure to hold it could shift the market tone back toward caution.
A drop below $94 would be more concerning because it would suggest the market is no longer treating the recovery effort as a near-term stabilising force.
AAVE price chart
The broader technical picture also shows that AAVE is consolidating rather than trending aggressively.
Its current level is close to the 30-day simple moving average of $96.95, which supports the idea that the market is waiting for confirmation before committing to a stronger directional move.
What matters next
Market participants will be looking for approval of the temporary changes needed to support the recovery, as well as signs that collateral restoration is progressing without delays.
If those milestones are reached, AAVE could gain enough confidence to challenge the $100 level again.
Trading volume also shows that the market is engaged but not yet convinced.
The latest 24-hour volume of $254.39 million reflects active participation, but not a broad rush into the token. That usually means the market is waiting for a clearer signal before taking stronger positions.

After almost a decade of inactivity an early Ethereum ICO wallet transferred 10,000 ETH worth about $23 million.
The transfer created speculation of the potential whale sales and imminent supply pressure.
At this point, traders are eagerly deciding whether to go to exchanges or stay in self-custody.
A wallet in the Ethereum network that was inactive in the early days of the network has reemerged and is transferring 10,000 ETH, which immediately generated a buzz throughout the crypto market. Although the transfer does not regard a sale, it has rekindled interest in the old whale supply and its potential of what the next step would be by Ethereum.
Early Ethereum ICO Wallet Triggers Market Attention
An Ethereum blockchain-related talk from 2015 associated with the initial coin offering at the beginning of Ethereum transferred 10,000 ETH to a different wallet following several years of dormancy. According to ICO price, the initial location is thought to have cost approximately $3,100.
That holding is now worth approximately $23 million at present market prices, one of the most dramatic long-term returns in crypto history, having started with a small and simple bet one can make.
The transfer was not seen to transfer assets directly to a centralized exchange which has alleviated concerns of immediate liquidation. Legacy holders in most instances transfer funds to upgrade their wallets or change their security or reorganize their repositories.
Nevertheless, the age of the wallet renders this occurrence important. Any dormant addresses that moved more than nine years ago can receive a serious response as markets consider it as the end-of-surplus supply.
Traders Focus on Next Destination of the Funds
The focus has now been moved not on the transfer itself, but to the next thing then. Should the ETH be relocated into exchange-linked addresses, the traders can interpret this as intent to sell. That might add volatility in the in-the-short-run, particularly when the parallel movement of similar dormant wallets commences.
In case the tokens are kept in cold storage, then the event can turn out to be neutral.

Dormant Supply Can Influence Sentiment
The initial participants in Ethereum tend to have large amounts of tokens that they obtained at very low rates. That enables them to add large volumes of supply in case they choose to leave. Sentiment can be made by that alone.
Old wallets have been reactivated in the past bull cycles in periods of good price performance. Others ended up in profit-taking. There were others that were just internal transfers which did not reach the market.
That is why analysts do not pay much attention to the first move, rather to whether the 10, 000 ETH has an agreed exchange destination.
Ethereum Supply Dynamics Return to Focus
The transfer also arrives at a point when the markets in Ethereum already take note of broader conditions of supply, such as staking trends, exchange balances, and institutional demand.
By itself, 10,000 ETH is not sufficient to displace the long-term Ethereum architecture. However, due to its ICO-era origins, it has renewed discussions about the extent to which dormant supply might be reintroduced once more in case prices go up.
