Yield-bearing stablecoins are growing faster than the broader stablecoin market, according to Messari, as Washington remains divided over how crypto-linked yield should be treated under US law. Yield-bearing stablecoins have outpaced the growth of the broader stablecoin market 15-fold over the past six months, according to a Messari research report published on Thursday. The increase was driven by a 198% rise in the market cap of Circle’s USYC (USYC), a 169% increase in Paxos’ Global Dollar (USDG), a 114% rise in the value of the Tron DAO-linked Decentralized USD (USDD), and a 91% rise in Ondo Finance’s Ondo US Dollar…

The old “token playbook” is over, according to 21Shares researcher Darius Moukhtarzade, who said that launching at high FDV, low float with a governance “meme coin” does not work anymore. Moukhtarzade explained that there is a widening “sentiment-fundamentals gap” as the core reason behind failing token launches. On one hand, fundamentals remain strong, amid a growing global user base, improving regulatory clarity, rising institutional participation, and scalable infrastructure supporting long-term adoption. On the other hand, market sentiment is deeply negative. This is evidenced in extreme fear levels, repeated failures of recent token generation events (TGEs), and capital dilution caused by…

Bitcoin is moving inside a tight short term range while a broader chart suggests the market is still cooling from earlier excess. One chart shows whales defending key levels on both sides. Meanwhile, another places $BTC back near its long term fair value zone. Together, they point to a market that has lost momentum but has not chosen its next direction yet. In the near term, traders are watching whether Bitcoin can break through heavy sell walls above or lose bid support below. At the same time, the longer term regression model suggests the recent correction has eased some of…

Ethereum price today: $2,290 Ethereum faces supply pressure near the cost basis of accumulation addresses. Retail wallets distributed 756K $ETH over the past week amid persistent bearishness in perpetuals. $ETH continues to hold the support near the 20- and 50-day EMAs. Ethereum ($ETH) is hovering near $2,300 on Tuesday, following signs of distribution across key onchain metrics over the past week, as US-Iran peace talks leave the market in a state of uncertainty. The Accumulation Addresses Realized Price (AARP) has historically acted as a support level. However, since $ETH declined below it for the first time in February, the level…

Belgian-born crypto millionaire, Olivier Janssens, reportedly offered to pay Nevis residents $100 per month if the government approves his development plans for a tech-friendly libertarian community on the Caribbean island. Jannsens’ Destiny, a project aiming to buy and restructure about 2,400 acres of land on the Caribbean island, said it will begin paying residents $100 per month, “immediately once the final agreement with the government is approved,” according to an email seen by the Financial Times. The monthly $100 figure is an increase from the initial 30 East Caribbean dollars (US$11) announced by the project in November 2025. The offer…

Popular XRPL dUNL validator Vet expresses confidence in the $XRP Ledger community’s ability to coordinate a quantum-resistant hard fork. At the same time, he questioned whether the Bitcoin ecosystem could achieve the same outcome. Key Points XRPL dUNL validator Vet argues that the $XRP Ledger can coordinate a quantum-resistant hard fork, while casting doubt on Bitcoin’s ability to achieve the same. He emphasizes that Bitcoin’s biggest obstacle lies in social coordination rather than technical limitations. Vet expresses strong confidence in XRPL’s willingness and ability to implement upgrades that strengthen network security. A recent Google report warns that advanced quantum systems…

A recent report published by the cryptocurrency analysis platform CryptoQuant points to a notable divergence in the Bitcoin market. According to the analysis, Bitcoin demand has contracted internally due to sales by both individual investors and large wallet holders, resulting in a significant mismatch between market sentiment and capital flows. The report noted that despite the Fear and Greed Index hovering in the 8-14 range, indicating “extreme fear,” net inflows of over $1 billion into spot Bitcoin ETFs occurred in March. However, the Coinbase Premium Index, reflecting US-based institutional demand, remained in negative territory, suggesting limited participation from US investors.…

An anonymous address that participated in the Ethereum ($ETH) Initial Coin Offering (ICO) has transferred 10,000 $ETH, worth approximately $22.88 million, after remaining dormant for nearly 11 years. This significant movement of funds, reported by Cointelegraph, highlights a potential profit of 7,381 times the original investment.

Ethereum ICO Wallet Details and Transaction Analysis The transaction, recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, involved the transfer of 10,000 $ETH from an address known to be an ICO participant. The address received the…

Here’s a fun paradox: the US economy just delivered a one-two punch of stubborn inflation and weakening growth, and Bitcoin’s response was… a 3% rally. Either crypto has developed an immunity to macroeconomic gravity, or the market is pricing in something the headlines haven’t caught up to yet. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index — came in at 3.1%, matching expectations but doing absolutely nothing to suggest rate cuts are around the corner. Meanwhile, GDP growth was quietly revised down to a barely-there 0.7%, and real consumer spending essentially flatlined. In English: prices…

$XRP Ledger validator Vet has raised fresh questions about whether Bitcoin can successfully navigate the coming shift to quantum-resistant security. He argued that the challenge may be less technical and more about community consensus. Key Points $XRP validator Vet says Bitcoin faces a “social test” in adopting quantum-resistant security solutions. Bitcoin developers remain split on whether to use a soft fork for quantum-resistant upgrades. Larger quantum-safe signatures could reduce transactions per block and impact miner fees. Vet argues $XRP Ledger is more adaptable, with smoother upgrades and less community friction. Bitcoin Quantum Path May Trigger Another “Civil War” Reacting to…
