Ethereum (ETH) has recovered 56% over the past month, reaching $2,565.95 at the time of writing on May 15, 2025. This renewed growth for Ethereum, following months where it lagged Bitcoin and newer Layer 1 competitors, points to shifts in institutional strategy, emerging blockchain technology use cases, and a broader market move away from single-asset dominance. The ETH recovery started around April 24, when ETH traded below $1,700, and accelerated between May 8 and May 13, briefly passing $2,700 before stabilizing.

Trump’s new 5% remittance tax bill will let the government track your money. Here’s how to avoid that
The 5% remittance tax hidden deep inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful” tax reform bill has started a firestorm. This proposal was rolled out on Tuesday and has already drawn heavy criticism for opening the door to more government surveillance. The bill is being pushed as part of Trump’s broader second-term agenda, but one detail stands out: this remittance tax will give federal agencies a direct line into who’s sending money abroad and how often. Under the new plan, anyone using regular remittance services like PayPal or MoneyGram could be forced to use only “qualified” providers if they want to avoid paying…
The Singapore High Court extended WazirX’s moratorium to June 6 as it reviews a user-backed plan to recover 85% of stolen funds. WazirX’s $230M hack recovery plan gains 93.4% user support, but 15% of assets remain unresolved amid ongoing legal proceedings. The victims of the WazirX crypto hack have more pain than resolution. The Singapore High Court held a hearing on May 13, 2025, regarding WazirX’s restructuring efforts following last year’s $230 million crypto hack. Although no final decisions were made, the Court extended the moratorium on claims until June 6 and asked the company to submit further affidavits by…
The last hour saw the withdrawal of 500 Bitcoin or roughly $522.6 million from Binance from a newly activated wallet. Since Bitcoin is approaching its all-time high, whales are actively buying up the cryptocurrency, which could lead to a spike in the asset’s momentum. The timing could not be more crucial. After breaking through the psychological barrier of $100,000, Bitcoin is currently trading at about $104,000. With the 50 EMA crossing above the 100 EMA, a bullish momentum signal that typically precedes further upside, Bitcoin is still in a strong uptrend on the daily chart. There is still room to…
Ethereum has experienced a week-long rally, pushing its price closer to the anticipated $3,000 milestone. However, this surge faces resistance from notable investors selling, putting pressure on the crypto asset’s continued upward momentum. Ethereum Investors Increase Selling Pressure The Liveliness metric for Ethereum is showing a sharp increase, signaling increased selling activity among long-term holders (LTHs). This surge is the first significant uptick in three months, suggesting that key investors are booking profits at current price levels. Since LTHs are considered the backbone of an asset, their selling may pressure Ethereum’s price downward. Such selling behavior from long-term holders often…
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) community has long wondered what happened to the first 32,569 ledger entries. With permanent record-keeping only starting at ledger 32,570, those early blocks have been missing from public view for years — and critics have not let that go unnoticed. For some, the missing data has fueled claims that Ripple, a crypto company which leverages XRP in its operations, or the XRPL development team, may have deliberately wiped early transactions, possibly to hide activity or gain an advantage. It is often cited in arguments that XRP is not truly decentralized and that Ripple has too much…
Caroline Pham, the acting chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures and Trading Commission, has openly discussed an intention to leave the commission once she’s permanently replaced, people familiar with her plans have said, leaving significant questions about the future track of agency policy. If President Donald Trump’s nominee for the chairmanship, former Commissioner Brian Quintenz, is confirmed by the Senate to take the job, the departure of Republican Pham could coincide with the planned exit of fellow Republican Commissioner Summer Mersinger to run the Blockchain Association. Who’s left? The new Republican chairman — who served as a policy head for…
