MAGNE.AI and MarsCat Partner to Build a Complete Privacy Stack for Web3

The use of Web 3 has always been about a promise of privacy, with some apps and dApps still having at least some dependency upon centralized servers, centralized clouds, or third-party data. On May 7th, 2026, MAGNE.AI announced a collaboration with MarsCat whereby they are creating an “end-to-end” privacy layer where MarsCat manages the infrastructure for the network and MAGNE.AI constructs devices that are secured upon that network.　　What Each Side Brings to the Table　　MarsCat is a distributed connection network and a decentralized Web3 application engine that allows decentralized applications to function in a privacy-first, serverless manner with no dependency on centralized servers. This ensures secure communication, using decentralized peer to peer networks to eliminate the need for a central data relay/notification and therefore allow peers to communicate directly with each other.　　The use of encryption and temporary data storage through RelayX will improve the reliability of communication. The RelayX project is backed by an investment of $3 million from Animoca Brands, Cogitent Ventures and Cryptogram Venture (CGV), giving it both financial legitimacy and a solid institutional network to grow.　　MAGNE.AI has shifted to the hardware solution side to solve similar issues that other firms are working on with software.

Solana price stuck in range - Can SOL reverse its long-term downtrend?

Tech　　Solana price stuck in range – Can SOL reverse its long-term downtrend？　　Since the 4th of May, Solana [SOL] has rallied 7.2%. Its price has been above $80 for a while now, and AMBCrypto reported that some bulls were confident in the altcoins upward momentum.　　Source: SOL/USDT on TradingView　　Even after four consecutive green days, SOL continued to labor under a bearish trend. The range formation since February, combined with the downtrend that preceded it, meant SOLs chances of a breakout past the psychological $100 level were slim.　　Source: Glassnode　　The new addresses growth has been trending downward since March but recently saw a small uptick in new addresses. However, this increase was minimal compared to the new participant interest that accompanied Solana during past bull runs.　　Comparing with a bull run might be unfair, given the wide consensus that Bitcoin [BTC] and Solana were in a bear market. The new address growth trends tend to remain muted during times of downturn, as they have been since March.　　In other words, the data does not support the idea of widespread retail demand and an impending breakout from the range.　　What the MVRV extreme deviation bands can tell us about Solana trendsSource: Glassnode　　In May 2022, SOL prices fell below

Pump.fun Traders See 70% Profitability Surge in 2026

After two years of persistent losses, traders on the meme coin platform Pump.fun are staging a striking comeback. According to CoinGecko data, 70% of Pump.fun wallets recorded profits in March 2026, a significant leap from the platforms low point in June 2025, when only 30.1% of traders were in the green. By April 2026, profitability had climbed further to 73.3%, solidifying the trend reversal.　　Pump.fun, launched in January 2024, operates as a Solana-based launchpad for meme coins, allowing users to create and trade tokens with minimal technical skills. The platforms model, built around bonding curves, had initially gained traction but became infamous for high volatility and rampant losses. Between April 2024 and late 2025, the majority of active wallets posted monthly losses, as inexperienced traders flooded the platform.　　The turnaround appears to coincide with a decline in overall trading activity. Monthly active wallets peaked at 5.2 million in May 2025 but dropped to 1.8 million by December of the same year. This contraction likely reflects the exit of less experienced retail participants, leaving a more selective and seasoned base of traders. In early 2026, wallet activity started recovering, reaching 3.3 million by March, with profitability metrics improving alongside.　　Small Gains Dominate, High-Frequency Trading

Why Most Trading Platforms Don’t Teach You How to Trade

Tech　　Why Most Trading Platforms Dont Teach You How to Trade　　The post Why Most Trading Platforms Dont Teach You How to Trade appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News　　Image Source　　A trading platform can give you charts, prices, indicators, order buttons, account history, and access to the market. What it usually cannot give you is the judgement to decide whether a trade is worth taking.　　That is where many beginners struggle. They open a forex trading platform, see professional-looking tools, and assume the platform will teach them as they go. But access is not education. A platform helps you execute decisions. It does not automatically help you make better ones.　　The Illusion of Learning Through Trading Platforms　　Many beginners confuse platform use with trading skill. Charts, indicators, demo accounts, news feeds, and tutorials can make the interface feel educational, but most features only show information. They do not teach market context, risk control, emotional discipline, or strategy.Why beginners expect platforms to teach them: Modern apps are designed to feel simple, and onboarding often makes trading look like a few clicks. That can create the impression that the platform will also teach the decision-making behind each trade.Why “tool = skill” is the wrong assumption: A platform may

By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.　　Christians journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).　　Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a
