It’s been less than 72 hours since the ceasefire, and its durability already looks questionable. According to The Kobeissi Letter, U.S. President Donald Trump recently said Iran isn’t fully sticking to the ceasefire terms. In this kind of volatile backdrop, it’s still a stretch to call this a sustained bull market just because sentiment has flipped risk-on. Ethereum [$ETH] is reflecting this uncertainty in real time. After a 6.28% rally on the 7th of April, $ETH has since retraced around 2.2%. While the pullback may look modest on the surface, it still suggests that the follow-through bid is weakening at…
Vugar Usi, the newly appointed CEO of MEXC, has a provocative explanation for the collapse in memecoin trading: the tokens didn’t lose their appeal, the rest of the financial system caught up to them. Gold moves on a Trump tweet. Oil spikes on a geopolitical rumor. Equities swing on a single Fed headline. “Everything has kind of become a meme at this point,” Usi said in an interview with CoinDesk. “Meme coins were driven by social sentiment, virality, speculation,” he continued, adding that today one of “President Trump’s tweets does all these three.” That thesis underpins his plan to reposition…
THORChain Interface Records over 1B Swap Volume with Zero-Fee Model Shaking the DEX Landscape
A ten-figure volume threshold is a challenge in the fast-paced world of decentralized finance that can only be met by systems that offer real value. Unstoppable Private Wallet recently declared that the custom THORChain interface they built has surpassed the $1 billion swap volume mark. In a time when the entire marketplace has been dealing with “bearish” sentiment for almost a year, this gateway has experienced a surge of activity. This increase represents a shift in users’ attitudes and actions toward obtaining cross-chain liquidity. The Appeal of “Zero-Fee” Architecture This surge of $1 billion has been generated primarily by disruptive…
Crypto analyst Crypto Patel has shared realistic targets that the Ethereum price can reach in the next bull run. The analyst matched potential market caps to those of popular U.S. companies, noting that Ethereum has gone mainstream and could go head-to-head with them. Realistic Targets For The Ethereum Price In The Next Bull Run In an X post, Crypto Patel stated that the ‘ultra bear’ target for the Ethereum price in the next bull run is $5,000, representing a 2.4x gain from current levels and a market cap of $610 billion. He also noted that this sits around Visa’s current…
South Korea’s financial regulators have ordered all domestic crypto exchanges to adopt a single, strict system for delaying withdrawals, aiming to block a surge in voice phishing scams that rely on speed. The Financial Services Commission and Financial Supervisory Service announced the new rules, removing the discretion exchanges once had to let users bypass holding periods, local news outlets report. In the past, platforms set their own exceptions to keep trading fast. Fraud groups learned those rules and coached victims to slip through them. Voice phishing scams often push victims to convert cash into crypto and send it out within…
DeFi protocol ZeroLend’s decision to shut down after three years in February, citing thin margins, hacks and inactive chains, landed with a tone the market now recognizes. Another reminder that the industry’s early optimism has given way to a far more demanding reality. Zeroland isn’t alone. Several DeFi protocols and adjacent crypto platforms have wound down in 2025 and early 2026, squeezed by low usage, liquidity collapses, security incidents and token-driven business models that never achieved durable economics. For instance, Polynomial, a DeFi derivatives protocol that processed 27 million transactions, recently paused operations and is prioritizing user fund safety with…
