While the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) rose above $108,000 today, investors do not believe that this rise is real. At this point, cryptocurrency analysis platform Santiment said that the data also points to a decline expectation in Bitcoin. Santiment analyzed the latest situation in Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH). He said that BTC recorded a negative funding rate while Ethereum recorded positive rates. Stating that BTC and ETH are showing opposite trends, Santiment said that short positions in Bitcoin and long positions in Ethereum are increasing.

Jump Crypto, the trading and venture arm of multi‑billion‑dollar firm Jump Trading that played a central role in underpinning Terra’s roughly $40 billion stablecoin ecosystem, has reintroduced itself and is apparently ready to build again. More than a year after stepping out of the spotlight amid lawsuits and settlements, the firm resurfaced this week with a new post on X. “@jump_ is re-introducing itself: the builders behind some of the most ambitious projects in crypto. We are transforming real-world constraints into open-source, decentralized infrastructure and inviting builders and policymakers to shape the future of financial markets with us,” the firm wrote…

An unofficial Solana meme coin dedicated to the Labubu toy range has skyrocketed 5,934% over the past two weeks to a $49.16 million market cap. The meme coin gained momentum after the dolls went mega viral. So viral, in fact, that stores have had to pull them from shelves to prevent customers fighting over the cute collectibles. The Labubu (LABUBU) meme coin was created via Pump.fun in October 2024, initially spiking to a $10 million market cap before retracing, bouncing back to $18.5 million, and subsequently falling below $1 million—where it remained for months. According to DEX Screener, the LABUBU…

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has climbed the ranks in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) world at an incredible speed. Just 1.4 years into its launch and IBIT has already landed a spot among the top 25 largest ETFs globally when measured by assets. That’s a major accomplishment, especially since it’s more than a decade younger than any other fund on that top-tier list. To put it in perspective, as noted by Bloomberg Intelligence’s Eric Balchunas, IBIT is like an infant mingling with financial veterans. But this “infant” is growing fast, powered by investor demand for Bitcoin exposure in a regulated…

This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. To no one’s surprise, the Fed held rates steady in the June FOMC meeting. As is the case in this modern age of monetary policy, the actual rate decision was well-telegraphed and wasn’t what moved markets. In terms of what did move markets…the FOMC statement saw minor changes to wording but, generally, there was very little for market participants to glean. More notably, the updated Summary of Economic Projections was substantial compared to the last update in March. Considering how much has changed since March (Liberation…

Although XRP has not changed much in price lately, the mood among the top Binance traders is shifting. On May 27, data revealed a clear shift toward short positions among the platform’s highest-margin accounts, even though XRP continues to trade quietly around the $2.33 level. Specifically, among the top 20% of accounts by margin balance, 58.7% are currently holding net short positions, while 41.3% remain long. The account-based long/short ratio is at 0.70, and the trend throughout the day has been consistent in its direction — a greater number of traders pulling back from the long side, and fewer willing…

Some members of Bitcoin’s community are quick to shrug off advancements in quantum computing, but behind closed doors, influential cryptographers and business leaders are concerned about a potential catastrophe. A computer strong enough to reverse engineer wallets’ private keys could one day disrupt Bitcoin’s market, flooding exchanges suddenly with ancient Bitcoin and sending prices spiraling, computer and security experts explained at a private luncheon last week—a short walk away from The Venetian’s cavernous Bitcoin 2025 conference rooms in Las Vegas. Although the threat was once viewed as far-off, experts now believe that Bitcoin’s community has less than a decade, even…

With a network overhaul just days away, the Sia Foundation is urging users to take control of their coins before it’s too late. The Sia network is about to get its biggest upgrade yet, with a major v2 hardfork set for June 6, giving users only a short time to update their wallets and software to stay connected. Once live, it will effectively shut out anyone still using outdated software or storing their Siacoin (SC) on exchanges that haven’t upgraded. The Sia Foundation has described the move as more than a technical refresh. According to a Monday blog post, the…
