BitGorilla Launches Cross-Chain Execution Platform to Close the Swap Quality Gap

Built on solver-based routing infrastructure, BitGorilla helps traders, builders, and autonomous agents access more consistent cross-chain execution.　　Every crypto trader has a theory about what makes a good trade: pick the right asset, time the entry, read the chart. But according to @_capfree, founder of BitGorilla, most traders are optimising the wrong variable entirely. Execution differences between identical swaps can vary by 0.5%–2% depending on routing depth, solver competition, and mempool exposure.　　That gap is the execution gap. And it sits beneath almost every swap interface in crypto today.　　The fee that isnt called a fee　　The problem starts with a misconception: free trading is not actually free. The cost has simply moved somewhere the user cannot easily see it.　　On cross-chain routes, every intermediate hop introduces its own spread, pool fee, and extraction surface. Most users never see the breakdown — only the estimate before the swap and the result after it settles.　　Fragmentation, sandwiching, and the auction nobody told you about　　The deeper problem is structural. Crypto liquidity is scattered across hundreds of chains, thousands of pools, dozens of aggregators, and a growing network of professional solvers bidding on order flow through private auctions.　　The route your swap takes through that landscape determines the outcome more

Robinhood Crypto Revenues Fall 47% in Q1

Crypto　　Robinhood Crypto Revenues Fall 47% in Q1　　Robinhood announced that its revenues and trading volumes from cryptocurrencies halved in the first quarter of 2026; the decline bears traces of the trend at the end of 2025. The company‘s crypto revenues fell to 134 million dollars, experiencing a 47% loss on an annual basis. In-app trading volumes also dropped to 24 billion dollars, showing a 48% contraction. These figures in the earnings report announced on Tuesday, April 29, 2026, indicate a new era in the platform’s crypto-focused growth story. Investors are closely monitoring the companys slowdown in this area. This overall market downtrend is also seen in tokens like ID detailed analysis.　　Robinhoods Diversification Success and Other Revenues　　Platforms like Bitstamp, acquired by Robinhood last year, continue their trading activities, while overall trading revenues rose to 623 million dollars, achieving a 7% annual increase. This success was largely driven by a revival in categories like event contracts, options, and equities; CFO Shiv Verma stated that customers quickly adapted to new products, net deposit growth exceeded 20%, and double-digit progress was made in stock and options volumes. Records were broken in prediction markets, futures, and index options. Following the 38% drop in fourth-quarter crypto revenues

XRP Price Prediction for May 2026: Can Bulls Trigger a Rally Near $2?

Tech　　XRP Price Prediction for May 2026: Can Bulls Trigger a Rally Near $2？　　XRP price hovers near $1.40 in late April 2026 as traders weigh a daily cup-and-handle pattern targeting $1.70, while a sharp on-chain warning could derail the breakout. What is the latest XRP price prediction from May 2026？　　The token has moved sideways since February 2026, but compressing volume and a slowly turning weekly MACD suggest a bigger move is brewing as May begins.　　NVT Ratio Spike Flags Overheated XRP Network　　The Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio for XRP surged to 1,076 on April 29. That marks the highest reading on the chart since October 2025. Earlier spikes during the same window stayed mostly below the 700 mark.　　However, a high NVT reading indicates that the price has risen faster than actual on-chain activity. Historically, similar extremes have preceded short-term price corrections, since the rally was not supported by transactional volume.　　NVT Ratio for XRP / Source: Santiment　　Meanwhile, exchange inflows and whale transaction counts above $100,000 have remained stable since February 2026. No fresh spikes are visible in the Santiment data, mirroring the structural concerns flagged in previous BeInCrypto coverage.　　For the bearish signal to fade, the NVT ratio must drop below 300 while

Google-Pentagon AI deal boosts confidence in Gemini model quality

Tech　　Google-Pentagon AI deal boosts confidence in Gemini model quality　　The Google-Pentagon AI deal has moved odds on Google having the best AI model by end of May to 15% YES, up from 0% before the deal was announced.　　Traders in the May 31 market are reading the deployment of Google‘s Gemini on classified DoD networks as a direct endorsement of its model quality. With 32 days left until resolution, the question is whether a government contract translates into the kind of benchmark performance that determines this market’s outcome, where Google is measured against OpenAI and Anthropic.　　The news has no bearing on the military action against Iran by April 30 market, but it does signal a shift in government trust toward commercial AI providers, which could affect how future AI-related markets resolve. The deal may change how traders evaluate government adoption as a proxy for model quality. That said, trading volume in the AI market remains absent, suggesting traders want more data before committing.　　No recent trades have been recorded, and real USDC traded sits at zero. Sentiment moved the odds, but nobody is putting money behind it yet. If Googles models outperform on upcoming benchmarks, the odds could climb further. For now, this

VF Corp CEO Pledges To Deep Brand Turnaround At Berlin Congress

Mark Faithfull　　At the World Retail Congress in Berlin today, VF Corp. CEO Bracken Darrell used his platform to reframe what a turnaround really meant for the retail group and why the market may be too focused on immediacy.　　VF Corp., the parent company of brands including Vans, The North Face and Timberland, has been navigating a difficult stretch marked by declining revenues, wholesale disruption and uneven brand momentum. The companys stock has come under pressure over the past two years as Vans in particular lost cultural traction, forcing leadership to rethink both cost structures and brand positioning.　　While recent quarters have shown early signs of stabilization — cost-cutting measures, inventory normalization and leadership reshuffles among them — the turnaround remains very much in progress, with investors watching closely for sustained growth rather than short-term fixes.　　Darrell, who took the helm in 2023 for Logitech, made clear he has little interest in quick wins at the expense of long-term brand equity.　　“I came in for a turnaround, and when I was hired I was described as a turnaround person but I am not,” he said. “Its not about short term; despite the fact there is a sense of urgency. So, you have to take a

According to a report, Canada has nearly 4,000 ATMs — the highest per capita globally — compared with more than 39,000 worldwide.　　A 2023 CBC News investigation found the machines have become a leading vehicle for fraud.

Commodity or Security? Ripple CTO Emeritus Explains Key Distinction

Tech　　Commodity or Security？ Ripple CTO Emeritus Explains Key Distinction　　Ripple CTO Emeritus, David Schwartz, recently joined a discussion on X pertaining to what qualifies as a commodity.　　The discussion began on X when a user asked how insider trading charges could apply in a case involving Polymarket. “Polymarket doesn‘t sell securities,” the X user added. The point was that if the platform doesn’t deal in securities, how could insider trading laws even come into play？　　Another X user pushed back, noting that there are insider trading rules for commodities. Still unconvinced, the initial X user responded by asking whether the asset in question (trading on Polymarket) could even qualify as a commodity.　　ASTEROID Whales Pivot to New Memecoins But Lose All Their Money　　Ripple CEO on XRP: ‘Lock In’　　You Might Also Like　　“I dont get how this would be a commodity either. Commodity is defined as goods and articles and all services, rights, and interests in which contracts for future delivery are presently or in the future dealt in,” the X user said, citing 7 USC 1a(9).　　This qualifies as a right or interest to a future delivery because it is a conditional entitlement to a particular quantity of a particular good in the future traded on

Kevin Warsh Fed chair nomination heads to Senate Banking Committee vote

Tech　　Kevin Warsh Fed chair nomination heads to Senate Banking Committee vote　　Kevin Warshs nomination as Federal Reserve Chair heads to a Senate Banking Committee vote. Jerome Powell out as Fed Chair by May 14, 2026, sits at 4.8% YES, up from 2% a day ago.　　Market reaction　　The May 31 market jumped to 97.0% YES, showing strong trader belief that Powell‘s exit is near-certain by that date. The May 15 market spiked to 73.0% YES, meaning traders expect action in the next two weeks, likely tied to the committee’s decision.　　The Kevin Warsh confirmation market sits at 92.0% YES after a 43-point surge in recent days. A successful committee vote would lock in those expectations. The low cost of moving the May 14 odds suggests a thin market, susceptible to swings from single large trades.　　Why it matters　　Volume on the Powell-out market is at $25,950 in USDC traded over the last 24 hours. The May 14 market requires just $3,604 to move 5 points, so any real news could cause sharp volatility. The largest move on that contract was a 48-point spike, a sign of trader uncertainty about the exact timing.　　The closure of the DOJ probe into Powell removed a major obstacle for Warsh‘s confirmation,
