Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer, created history on May 22, 2010, when he spent 10,000 Bitcoin on two pizzas. The trade was valued at about $41(market cap under US$1M) at the time. According to Binance, the 10,000 Bitcoins would be valued well over $700m (market cap over US$1.5T) now. In August 2025, when $BTC price was at an all-time high of $126k, the coins would be worth more than $1 billion. The amount now represents over 22 days of current issuance, given today’s block subsidy of approximately 450 $BTC per day. Major price milestones for Bitcoin have been reached amid dwindling…

U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds recorded a net outflow of approximately $28.1 million on May 20, marking the eighth consecutive trading day of withdrawals, according to data compiled by Farside Investors. The persistent selling pressure reflects ongoing caution among institutional investors toward the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. BlackRock and Fidelity Lead Outflows The largest single-day outflow came from BlackRock’s ETHA fund, which saw $30.9 million exit on May 20. That decline was partially offset by a $4.4 million inflow into BlackRock’s separate staking-focused ETHB product.

The CLARITY Act has become one of the most important U.S. crypto bills, as it attempts to answer the sector’s biggest regulatory question: who oversees digital assets, and under what rules? The legislation, formally known as H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, cleared the House in a 294-134 vote last year. It also advanced from the Senate Banking Committee on May 14 in a 15-9 vote. Regardless, the bill is not law yet, but its progress has made it a central test of whether the U.S. can create a permanent crypto market-structure framework. The central question…

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has publicly backed development of a new perpetuals DEX native to the Solana Virtual Machine, directly challenging Hyperliquid’s lead in onchain derivatives trading. The endorsement marks an escalating competitive push within the Solana ecosystem to capture perpetuals volume that has largely migrated to Hyperliquid in recent months. Yakovenko’s support signals Solana’s strategic intent to build atomically composable perpetuals infrastructure within the SVM, suggesting the ecosystem views perpetuals as critical to retaining user activity and trading volume on-chain. His backing carries weight given Solana’s technical architecture and developer ecosystem, though no specific project details or launch timeline…

In early trading, Ethereum price today sits around $2,130, lodged under every key daily moving average and hovering near the lower Bollinger Band as intraday mean reversion attempts build. Meanwhile, broader crypto is cautious (Fear & Greed at 29, Bitcoin dominance near 58%), which typically starves $ETH of leadership flows.
