Bitcoin price remained under pressure on Monday as weakening technical indicators, heavy ETF outflows, and rising geopolitical tensions continued weighing on investor sentiment, with traders increasingly watching whether $BTC could revisit the key $75,000 support zone next. According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin ($BTC) traded around $76,700 at press time on May 19 after briefly attempting to stabilize above the $77,000 region earlier in the day. The asset has now lost momentum following its recent rejection near the $83,000 area, where a large amount of leveraged long exposure had previously accumulated. One of the biggest catalysts behind the latest risk-off…

Ethereum researcher Luca Zanolini has explained why the network separates continuous block production from final settlement, arguing that this structure lets Ethereum keep operating through software faults, outages and falling validator participation. His account connects Ethereum’s decade-long block production record with current work on faster finality and a cleaner consensus design. Meanwhile, Ethereum uses one process to keep adding blocks and another to mark older blocks as final. The production layer follows the chain supported by active validators, while the finality layer requires approval from at least two-thirds of the total active stake. If that threshold disappears, finality can pause…

Payments firm Corpay (CPAY) add stablecoin wallets and settlement capabilities for its global corporate customers alongside BVNK to give companies another way to move money across borders outside traditional banking hours. Teaming up with BVNK will allow Corpay clients to see stablecoin balances alongside fiat balances inside its platform, while allowing them to send, receive, store and convert stablecoins through embedded wallets. Corpay said it will use the same stablecoin rails in its treasury operations. It expects to reduce reliance on pre-funded accounts, improve capital efficiency and make it easier to move funds across its global footprint doing so. The…

Solana’s real-world asset sector is having a big moment. According to a post from RWA market expert Zeus, the network’s total RWA value has climbed to $2.5 billion, up from just $215 million a year ago. That is a massive jump in a relatively short time, and it shows how quickly tokenized assets are finding traction on Solana. What makes the growth especially notable is not just the size of the number, but the kind of assets driving it. This is not a market built on one trend alone. It includes everything from tokenized credit and Treasury-backed yield products to…

Bitcoin [$BTC] sentiment weakened after repeated failures to reclaim the $82,000 resistance earlier this month. Those rejections gradually shifted momentum lower, driving $BTC back toward the critical $76,000–$77,000 support zone. Selling pressure strengthened further once long liquidations accelerated across derivatives markets beneath rising fear and tightening liquidity conditions. Notably, volume also expanded heavily during red sessions, reinforcing emotional positioning as traders rapidly closed leveraged exposure.

However, CMF conditions remained slightly positive, suggesting some spot accumulation continues absorbing downside volatility around…

Tether’s second reserve asset is intelligence Tether’s QVAC project begins with an unusual phrase for a stablecoin company. The company describes “QVAC Psy” as a family of foundational models “rooted in the principles of Psychohistory.” The reference to psychohistory belongs to Isaac Asimov’s Foundation universe, where Hari Seldon uses mathematics, statistics, and social dynamics to forecast the behavior of very large populations and shorten the dark age after the Galactic Empire’s collapse. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction describes Asimovian psychohistory as an “Imaginary Science,” while Seldon’s work is a plan that predicts future events and preserves knowledge through systemic breakdown.…

Ripple’s CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has defended his integrity against accusations that a post-departure Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or “gag order” is forcing him to lie about the company and the $XRP token. The pushback comes after a community member accused the Ripple veteran of playing “devil’s advocate” regarding $XRP. The $10,000 $XRP debate As reported by U.Today, Schwartz recently poured cold water on hyper-bullish influencers who have been hyping up a $10,000 price target for $XRP. Schwartz has argued that the current market data simply does not support that level of conviction. If rational and wealthy investors truly believed there…
