Bitcoin’s Price Is Being Set Further Away From Bitcoin Holders Bitcoin spent the end of March in a range that looked calm on the surface and unusually crowded underneath. By Monday, Bitcoin’s price was trading around $67,000 after a week that had already pulled in one of the year’s largest derivatives events and another round of institutional withdrawals from spot exchange-traded funds. That combination deserves more attention than it has received. Conventional analysis would split the move into separate buckets. Options expiry belongs in one box, ETF flows in another, price in a third. However, the reality is that Bitcoin’s…
World Liberty Financial ($WLFI), a decentralized finance protocol affiliated with the Trump family, has filed a defamation lawsuit against TRON (TRX) founder Justin Sun. According to the announcement posted on X on May 4, $WLFI is accusing the crypto entrepreneur of organizing “a coordinated media smear campaign” that affects the reputation of the entire sector. “This is about the integrity of decentralized finance. When a major investor tries to destroy the project’s reputation, it threatens the trust of every holder. We cannot allow that,” $WLFI wrote. Today, we are filing a lawsuit against Justin Sun for defamation. Sun has launched…
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals (NBY) — a nanocap with a market capitalization of about $30 million — has renamed itself Stablecoin Development Corporation and changed its ticker to SDEV, marking a full shift from healthcare to crypto. This follows a $134 million private placement backed by firms including Framework Ventures and Tether Investments, the company said. The firm is using those funds to build a large position in $SKY, the governance token tied to the Sky protocol, a decentralized finance protocol that issues the cryptocurrency-backed dollar-pegged stablecoin USDS.. The company currently holds about 2.06 billion $SKY tokens, roughly 8.78% of the total…
The Senate Banking Committee is preparing to mark up the CLARITY Act on May 14, 2026, and the banking lobby would very much like a word before that happens. A coalition of major financial trade groups, including the American Bankers Association, the Bank Policy Institute, and the Independent Community Bankers of America, sent a joint letter on May 8 demanding consumer protection enhancements and wording tweaks to a recently struck stablecoin yield compromise. The timing is not subtle. Chairman Tim Scott wants the bill wrapped up before the May 21 Memorial Day recess, which leaves roughly a week to hash…
Where is Bitcoin price headed this week? BTC falls to $65,000 but starts the week in recovery mode
Bitcoin reclaims $67k after a weekend spent below support, while $68k sets the first test for the new week Bitcoin price opened the new week with a modest structural improvement after spending most of the weekend below one of its most closely watched channel boundaries. The reclaim of $66,900 shifts the immediate condition from clean downside acceptance toward early repair, while the higher boundary at $68,000 continues to define the next decision point. That leaves the Bitcoin market in a narrow but important transition zone as traders move from a weekend defined by failed support into a macro backdrop shaped…
An investment in 100 shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) at the beginning of 2025 would have delivered modest capital gains by now, as the chipmaker continued benefiting from surging demand tied to artificial intelligence expansion. In this line, an investor who bought 100 NVDA shares at the start of 2025 would have earned just $5 in dividend income by early May 2026. The investment would have been made around Nvidia’s January 2, 2025, closing price of approximately $138.26 per share, bringing the total purchase cost to about $13,826. As things stand, Nvidia currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per…
FBI dismantles decade-long insider trading ring, charges 30 in scheme spanning multiple countries
Federal authorities just pulled the curtain back on one of the most elaborate insider trading operations in recent memory. On May 7, the DOJ, FBI, and SEC unsealed criminal charges against 30 individuals accused of running a scheme that allegedly generated tens of millions of dollars in illegal profits over the course of roughly a decade. Nineteen defendants were arrested in the US. Two others, located in Russia and Israel, are considered fugitives. How the scheme worked At the center of the operation sit two attorneys: Nicolo Nourafchan, based in California, and Robert Yadgarov, based in New York. The pair…
Bitcoin traded at $67,625 on March 30, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, rebounding within a $65,112 to $67,777 range after U.S. President Donald Trump signaled potential negotiations with a “new regime” in Iran while threatening energy infrastructure if talks fail. The geopolitical jolt nudged crypto markets higher, though price structure across multiple timeframes still reflects consolidation rather than conviction. Bitcoin Chart Outlook The daily bitcoin chart continues to reflect a market stuck between recovery and fatigue, with $BTC hovering in a broader $65,000 to $70,000 band following rejection near the $76,000 region. Lower highs remain intact, suggesting lingering downward…

Whale, Considered One of the Best Traders of His Era, Dumped a Massive Amount of an Altcoin Today
One of the most notable transactions in the cryptocurrency market came from High Stakes Capital, dubbed “the best trader of the FTX era.” The trader’s large sell order, executed within the last two hours, has become the focus of market participants.

These sales, conducted at an average price of $38.17, generated a total value of $11.45 million. However, it appears the trader still holds a significant amount of $HYPE in their portfolio.
