Ripple is expanding institutional finance ambitions while XRP traders are losing confidence

Tech　　Ripple is expanding institutional finance ambitions while XRP traders are losing confidence　　XRPs latest decline is exposing a widening split between traders betting on more weakness and investors using the selloff to build exposure.　　Over the past few weeks, the digital asset has faced sustained downward pressure driven by capitulating short-term holders and aggressive short selling in futures markets.　　However, underlying spot demand has proved resilient, as evidenced by XRP-linked exchange-traded funds being on track to record their strongest monthly performance of the year.　　This market disconnect is playing out as Ripple accelerates its expansion into institutional finance, providing long-term investors with a structural adoption narrative even as momentum traders exit at a loss.　　For market participants, the critical question is whether XRP is establishing a macro accumulation base or simply pausing within an extended downtrend.　　Trader losses mount as sentiment sours　　Beneath XRPs sluggish price action lies significant retail distress. According to blockchain analytics firm Santiment, the average trader active in the token over the past 30 days is holding unrealized losses of roughly 47%.　　The drawdown has pushed XRPs 30-day market-value-to-realized-value (MVRV) ratio to its lowest point since December 2020.　　XRP Traders Return (Source: Santiment)　　The steep decline marks a sharp reversal from recent optimism.

Bitcoin News Today: Unexplained $8M Bitcoin Burn, Whale Permanently Destroys BTC Supply

Bitcoin　　Bitcoin News Today: Unexplained $8M Bitcoin Burn, Whale Permanently Destroys BTC Supply　　Bitcoin News Today: Five Bitcoin addresses, all created on April 10, 2014, simultaneously transferred a combined 107 BTC, worth approximately $8.2 million at prevailing market prices, to the well-known burn address 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 on Monday, permanently removing the funds from Bitcoins circulating supply in a move that on-chain analyst Sani (SaniExp) was among the first to flag publicly.　　The synchronized timing, identical transaction construction, and deliberate locktime parameters ruled out coincidence almost immediately, sending observers across X into a cascade of competing theories about motive, identity, and intent.　　We suspect this is less a story about a dramatic mystery burn and more a structural signal about the deepening sophistication with which long-dormant Bitcoin holders – whether individuals, collectives, or automated systems, are engineering irreversible exits from the network. The mechanics matter more than the motive here, and the on-chain record is unusually legible.　　Source: CD　　DISCOVER: Best Crypto to Buy in 2026　　Bitcoin News Today: The Burn Mechanism and What the On-Chain Record Establishes　　The mechanism functions as follows: a Bitcoin burn address, such as 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 – sometimes referenced in community shorthand as a -style destination, is a valid-format address for which no corresponding private key

The Solana Pattern Traders Love Is Actually a 50% Crash Setup

Tech　　The Solana Pattern Traders Love Is Actually a 50% Crash Setup　　Solana price has held a rising channel for more than three months, yet the structure may be hiding the same continuation pattern that powered a collapse of over 50% from mid-January to early February.　　The token sits roughly 3% above the channels lower trendline. On-chain data shows hodler conviction slipping and short-term holder cushion thinning. The setup is one bad day from breaking.　　Solanas Rising Channel Looks Bullish, But the Pattern Hides a Continuation Risk　　Solana (SOL) has traded inside a parallel ascending channel since February 6, with the channel base anchored at the bottom of a 50%+ collapse that played out across roughly three weeks from mid-January to early February.　　The usually bullish channel itself looks constructive on the surface. SOL has put in higher lows along the lower trendline and tested the upper trendline once.　　Yet, the pattern nuance matters. A rising channel that forms immediately after a major drop is often a continuation pattern in disguise rather than a true reversal. Until SOL closes above the upper trendline, the broader bearish trend remains the higher-probability resolution.　　SOL Price Chart: TradingView　　Volume signals add weight to the warning. Buying volume has fallen steadily since early

Crypto advocacy group challenges Senator Warren's claims on OCC charters

The Digital Chamber, a cryptocurrency advocacy group that has been closely involved in negotiations with US lawmakers over digital asset-related legislation, questioned three-term Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warrens understanding of banking laws as applied to crypto companies.　　In a Tuesday letter to the US Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Jonathan Gould, Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone challenged many of the claims in the Massachusetts lawmakers May 18 letter. In that letter, Warren said that the OCC may have violated the National Bank Act by approving national trust charters for nine crypto companies “that intend to engage in activities that appear to go far beyond the narrow set of activities permitted by law.”　　“The claim that these firms seek to ‘evade’ regulations [...] or pose risks to the safety and soundness of the banking system is contradicted by their own conduct,” Carbone said in his Tuesday letter. “These companies voluntarily sought federal oversight: each applied for a national trust bank charter, submitted to OCC examination authority, and accepted the compliance obligations that come with federal supervision.”　　Source: The Digital Chamber　　Warren‘s concerns stemmed from OCCs approving or conditionally approving charter applications from Coinbase, Crypto.com’s parent company, Ripple, Stripe, BitGo, Circle, Fidelity Digital Assets, Protego Holdings and

Bitmine’s market cap was $10.15 billion as of market close on Friday.　　Lee said that “many active managers only buy equities on the Russell 1000,” adding that it is estimated that up to 25% of the market cap of a stock included in the index is held by passive index funds or exchange-traded funds.　　Bitmines inclusion in the Russell 1000 would place it in the same index as major US large-cap equities, including tech giants Nvidia Corporation, Microsoft, and Apple and could trigger automatic buying by passive funds, providing traditional investors with
