SoFi's share price has fallen by 50%, prompting additional purchases of the stock. Despite the decline, the strategy involves increasing holdings in SoFi Technologies, Inc. (SOFI). SoFi delivered a presentation at J.P. Morgan’s 54th Annual Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference, with a full transcript available. The company faces weak fundamentals and challenging valuations, though the stock appears oversold. Rising Treasury yields have drawn attention to stocks like SoFi.
Bitwise increased its HYPE holdings significantly, reflecting mounting institutional interest in the token. The firm's new BHYP ETF launched on the NYSE, creating a regulated pathway for investors. Early inflows into both BHYP and the 21Shares THYP product have attracted tens of millions of dollars. This robust capital flow indicates strong market confidence in HYPE’s value proposition. Hyperliquid expanded its trading capabilities by introducing canonical outcome markets. These new markets allow users to trade contracts based on real-world, offchain events. This approach differs from standard prediction systems because market resolution happens within the validator process. This greatly broadens the platform's reach beyond mere crypto perpetual futures. The HYPE token recently reached a new all-time high, driven by both ETF demand and high protocol revenue. Market stability is reinforced by the Assistance Fund, which has executed buybacks valued over $1.16 billion. With total value locked exceeding $5.5 billion, the platform remains a major derivatives venue. Analysts are keenly observing key price levels for potential short-term resistance or support.
XRP has been unable to surpass the $1.65 level for the past four months. Sellers continue to thwart every upward push, while buyers remain hesitant. The current consolidation phase often precedes rapid price movements in XRP, suggesting potential volatility ahead. For more details, see the article “XRP stuck below 1.65 dollars for four months” on COINTURK NEWS.
Meta AI predicts Bitcoin near $75,650 now and $100k‑$105k by summer 2026. The signal is technical: an 11.8% month‑on‑month rise and collapsing put premiums. ETF inflows over $65 bn provide a floor, while the base case targets $95k before the $81.5k 200‑day EMA supports. Bitcoin trades $72k‑$80k, with $80k matching the 200‑day EMA. Breaking $80k could lead to $95k; slipping below $72k would void the bullish view. RSI in the low 40s under its signal line shows bearish momentum and no reversal sign. Bitcoin Hyper adds a Layer 2 on Bitcoin via the Solana VM, offering fast, cheap contracts on Bitcoin security. The presale raised $32.7 m at $0.01368, with high‑APY staking for early backers. Risk is high, but early entry may deliver outsized returns if adoption follows.

Santiment data indicates a significant withdrawal of 34.94 million XRP. This volume left centralized trading platforms within one 24-hour period.
Bitcoin is defending the April 2025 low zone around $74,000 while traders eye the low $80,000s as the next barrier for a bullish continuation. A break below $74,000 would hand control back to sellers and revive the 2025 low focus. Conversely, a clean move above the $80,000 cluster would signal buyers regaining momentum. The price has retested Friday’s close, a level that could act as short‑term support. If buyers hold this zone, Bitcoin may target the monthly open near $76,000 and face resistance at last week’s lower high. Short positions above the current range could fuel a squeeze if the price pushes higher. The 200‑day moving average sits near $80,134, while the 100‑day sits around $72,922, framing the current range. A breakout above the low $80,000s would confirm a continuation, whereas a fall below $74,000 would trigger bearish pressure. Deeper declines would only be considered if the $74,000 support fails.
Some whales sold HYPE, while other investors purchased over $33 million worth, keeping the bullish setup alive.
Shiba Inu has maintained its demand despite general volatility across the cryptocurrency market. The slowdown in prices for major cryptocurrencies, including SHIB, has not diminished interest in the coin.
A $1.3 billion off‑exchange IBIT block sale rattled Bitcoin on Tuesday. Industry analysts, however, warn that the true challenge lies ahead.
Crypto analyst Ali Charts suggests a long-term technical view for XRP based on a parallel channel formation. The analysis highlights major support and resistance levels over several years. Specifically, the mid-range area near $0.73 is identified as a potential accumulation zone for buyers. This zone is based on the historical behavior of the price within the defined channel boundaries. The analysis generated mixed responses among XRP traders and market observers. Some users strongly supported the $0.73 level as a reliable buying opportunity. Conversely, other users expressed caution, questioning if isolated mathematical levels guarantee a signal. Many emphasized that broader liquidity and macroeconomic conditions are more critical than specific technical targets. The ongoing analysis confirms that XRP remains within a broader long-term structure despite recent volatility. Market participants are currently closely monitoring higher timeframe support levels. While the accumulation zone at $0.73 is suggested, the general sentiment remains divided. Traders await confirmation of broader market trends before making directional decisions.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission fined Tiger Brokers, Futu Securities and Longbridge Securities for illegal cross‑border operations involving mainland investors. All illegal profits will be confiscated and the firms have a two‑year window to stop new buy orders and capital inflows, allowing only sales and withdrawals. After that period they must shut down any mainland‑targeted websites, apps and servers. Although the crackdown targets offshore securities brokers, it directly hits the main crypto access routes used by Chinese traders, such as OTC desks and stablecoin on‑ramps. The move implements the February policy that expanded the crypto ban to stablecoins, tokenisation and offshore yuan‑pegged tokens. The two‑year rectification deadline now applies to any unauthorized cross‑border financial channel, not just licensed brokers. Shares of Tiger Brokers fell over 10% and Futu Holdings dropped more than 5% in pre‑market trading following the announcement. The enforcement signals Beijing’s willingness to impose heavy penalties on large, listed firms that breach the expanded crypto rules. How this shapes future Chinese crypto participation—whether it drives more OTC demand or curtails cross‑border flows—remains to be seen.
Gold slipped below the $4,500 threshold as the Fed, ECB and other major banks signaled a willingness to keep interest rates high for longer. Higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding a non‑yielding asset like gold, shifting demand toward yield‑bearing securities. Statements from Powell and Lagarde reinforced expectations of prolonged tight monetary policy, pressuring the safe‑haven metal. The $4,500 support level acted as a floor in recent sessions, but its breach is viewed as a bearish signal by analysts. Selling volume increased, the RSI fell below 50, and the 50‑day moving average now resists near $4,550, suggesting further downside toward $4,400. The 200‑day average remains well below current prices, indicating the longer‑term trend is still intact but vulnerable. The hawkish backdrop creates short‑term headwinds for gold as a portfolio hedge, yet central banks continue adding gold to reserves, providing a structural support level. Any signs of economic weakness or a dovish policy shift could quickly reverse the sell‑off. Investors should watch upcoming inflation data and central‑bank meetings for clues on the next directional move.
The third week of May saw a broad profit surge as Bitcoin traded within a stable range, sparking an altcoin rally. Three narratives dominated: privacy assets led by ZEC, perpetual DEX activity driven by HYPE, and AI‑focused growth centered on NEAR. New listings performed strongly, with ZEST jumping 131% to become the week’s top gainer. HYPE rose 38%, highlighting rising demand for high‑leverage, low‑slippage on‑chain derivatives. BTCFi gained momentum as ZEST (a Bitcoin lending token) surged 131% and ONDO climbed 28% as a flagship RWA/DeFi asset. The privacy sector recovered, with ZEC up 22% and NIL soaring 60% by leveraging privacy‑enhancing technologies for AI and data use cases. AI remained a durable theme, propelling NEAR up 56% as a combined blockchain‑AI platform and pushing GENIUS 54% as a professional on‑chain trading OS. Market capital is now allocated across multiple parallel narratives rather than single‑theme speculation. HTX highlights this shift, continuing to list high‑potential assets across AI, BTCFi, DeFi, RWA, and privacy to capture emerging structural opportunities.
Bitcoin lingered just below Tom Lee’s $76,000 bull‑market benchmark, while HyperLiquid and Monero moved contrary to the broader weakness in the cryptocurrency market.
In April, AI-powered attacks caused DeFi platforms to lose roughly $722 million. Vulnerabilities in permissionless transactions and bridge implementations, especially in $AAVE, amplified the damage. The incident underscores how automated exploits can rapidly drain crypto assets. Attack activity declined in May, yet human mistakes and centralized points of failure continue to pose the greatest risk. Even with fewer AI-driven assaults, the underlying system weaknesses remain. The situation highlights the need for stronger safeguards across the DeFi ecosystem.
XRP has been rebuffed at the $1.65 resistance for about four months, solidifying the level as a firm ceiling. Sellers repeatedly absorb upward moves, keeping the price in a broad consolidation. Prolonged trading below this barrier signals waning bullish strength and raises the chance of a liquidity‑driven pull lower. Analyst CasiTrades warns a final sweep could clear leveraged positions before any breakout. The asset is near $1.33, down roughly 2.8% over the past week and firmly range‑bound. A clean breakout above $1.65 followed by a retest would confirm a trend reversal; without it, rejection or a move to lower support remains likely. Whale transactions have fallen more than 50%, indicating major holders are waiting on clearer direction. Retail sentiment is muted, with some seeing the weakness as a potential entry point at lower prices. Key liquidity zones sit at $1.10 and $0.87, where prior buying clustered and could absorb further downside. A decisive move—either a breakout or a sweep into these supports—should set the medium‑term trajectory. Historical patterns suggest such tight ranges end with a spike in volatility. The next price action will therefore define whether XRP resumes an uptrend or enters a deeper correction.
Analysts suggest that XRP could surpass Ethereum’s growth in decentralized finance by the year 2027. Charles Hoskinson has recently expressed that XRP may evolve into a leading platform beyond its traditional payment use case. The original article was published on COINTURK NEWS.
A single entity moved $1.289 billion in BlackRock’s IBIT ETF via a dark‑pool transaction, the largest of its kind. The block of nearly 29 million shares temporarily exceeded the fund’s normal daily volume. The trade was designed to avoid an immediate spot‑price crash. It coincided with a brutal market day and heavy outflows from spot BTC ETFs. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $336 million net outflows, extending a seven‑day bleed and totalling $1.88 billion in losses. IBIT alone saw $192.44 million of redemptions, fueling the sell‑off. Analysts link the crash to these outflows, macro fragility, basis‑trade unwinds and leveraged liquidations. Bitcoin now trades in the $75‑$78 k range, a 7 % drop from the $83 k zone. The $78.5 k level acts as a pivot in the options market; a rebound above it could retake the $83 k resistance. Failure at $75 k may push price below $70.5 k. Historical ETF inflow spikes have marked local bottoms, suggesting a possible recovery if inflows reverse. Longer‑term resistance lies near $90 k with an ultimate target around $94 k. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) aims to solve Bitcoin’s scalability limits as a Layer‑2 solution using the Solana Virtual Machine. It offers sub‑second finality, low‑cost smart contracts, and a native BTC bridge. The project has raised $32 million, with the presale priced at $0.01368 and staking rewards for early backers. It presents a distinct risk profile from holding spot BTC.
Vitalik Buterin, co‑founder of Ethereum, explains that the network is prioritizing decentralization over speed as it positions itself for broader adoption.
Two spot exchange‑traded funds that track Hyperliquid’s HYPE token captured 1.04 % of the token’s total market capitalization within their first ten trading days. At the same time, a single wallet withdrew $30.93 million in HYPE from Coinbase Prime. The HYPE ETFs have outperformed every previous altcoin fund debut in the United States.
David Hoffman, co‑founder of Bankless, sold his ETH after deciding the “ETH is money” thesis has largely played out. He remains very bullish on Ethereum as a network but sees no clear path for the ETH token to gain a structural rerating. Hoffman's decision reflects a personal capital‑allocation call after years of building his career around Ethereum. The thesis required simultaneous success in governance, technology, L2 incentives and market dominance, a narrow coordination challenge. Ethereum chose programmability and broad utility over a stripped‑down monetary focus, making ETH’s value dependent on multiple layers aligning. Although the network has advanced, it has not achieved the maximal version of the original monetary expectation. Ethereum’s design now channels most margin to rollups and applications, leaving ETH with limited direct revenue capture. Rollups obtain up to 97 % of user‑facing margins while Ethereum provides cheap, secure settlement. This “giver” model supports the ecosystem but weakens ETH as an asset. The rise of stablecoins on Ethereum has expanded tokenised dollars rather than ETH’s monetary role. The brief COVID‑era boom that boosted ETH as internet money has faded, reducing its store‑of‑value appeal. Hoffman stays confident in Ethereum’s tech future but treats ETH as a mature, non‑rising investment.
