Bitcoin (BTC), Zcash (ZEC), Ethereum (ETH) and XRP Price Analysis for May 30: Bearish Pressure Emerges

After failing to hold above a number of significant moving averages, Bitcoin is displaying signs of weakness. The most recent daily candles indicate that bearish momentum is starting to pick up steam. Just below the 200-day moving average, which still serves as a significant technical barrier, Bitcoin seems to have lost momentum following a robust recovery from the March lows.  A pivotal moment in the recent rally occurred with the rejection in the $81,000-$82,000 range. Although buyers were unable to produce enough volume to maintain the move, Bitcoin momentarily broke above its rising trendline and moved toward long-term resistance. The asset has since rolled over and fallen below the short-term support structure.  BTC/USDT Chart by TradingView  Bitcoin is currently trading below the 20-, 50-, and 100-day moving averages on the daily chart. After several weeks of rising momentum, the 50-day moving average is starting to flatten, which is even more worrisome for bulls.

Can XRP Repeat Stellar (XLM) Price Success After DTCC Integration?

Why the DTCC announcement only sparked one tokenShould XRP investors expect a repeat?  The historical correlation between XRP and Stellar (XLM) has officially cracked this week. While XLM jumped 50% in just a couple of days after the announcement of a partnership with clearing giant DTCC and erased its yearly decline, XRP remained near the bottom with a YTD result of -29.15%.  We break down why XRP cannot repeat this move through the DTCC angle, but is preparing much heavier artillery.  Why the DTCC announcement only sparked one token  The main paradox of the May split between the charts lies in the timeline, since Ripples ecosystem interacted with DTCC two months earlier, in March 2024.

Bit Digital (BTBT) Boosts Ethereum Holdings to 158K ETH with $20M Buy

Bit Digital (NASDAQ: BTBT) has ramped up its Ethereum holdings with a $20 million purchase, adding 8,568 ETH to its treasury at an average price of $2,334.25 per token. This acquisition, made on May 11, 2026, pushes the companys total ETH reserves to 158,462 ETH—surpassing Coinbase Global to become the fourth-largest public corporate Ethereum holder, according to CoinGecko data.

Bit Digital‘s Ethereum holdings now outpace Coinbase Global’s 151,175 ETH, signaling aggressive positioning in the race for on-chain dominance among public companies. While BitMine Immersion Technologies leads with over 5.39 million ETH, Bit Digitals latest purchase cements its position among top-tier Ethereum treasury holders.

$1.5 Million Wiped Out as Hyperliquids SpaceX Pre-Market Perpetual Flash Crashes 45%

Tech  $1.5 Million Wiped Out as Hyperliquids SpaceX Pre-Market Perpetual Flash Crashes 45%  Bitcoin Ethereum News  Onchain Data Shows Severe Vacuum in Pre-Market Contract  SPACEX-USDH, a synthetic pre-market asset, plunged from an opening price of $2,277 down to a low of $1,254 within a 30-minute window, representing a nearly 45% collapse. The contract eventually recovered to trade near $2,157, but the brief liquidity vacuum triggered cascading liquidations across the decentralized trading platforms order books.  Image source: X  The sharp drawdown wiped out 1,393 leveraged positions across 405 individual users, resulting in a total notional loss of exactly $1.51 million. Market analysts noted that the median margin of the liquidated positions was only $31, indicating that the market was heavily skewed toward high- leverage retail participants.  The SPACEX-USDH contract behaves as a synthetic perpetual tied to the implied market valuation of the aerospace company SpaceX. Because SpaceX remains a private entity with an initial public offering expected around June 11, there is no publicly available price benchmark for the asset.  The market was built using Hyperliquid‘s HIP-3 architecture by a venue called Ventuals, which allows independent builders to construct pre-markets for private equities using the exchange’s core matching engine.

Solana, Sui and Aptos wallet data targeted in TrapDoor package attack

A new crypto-theft campaign is targeting the developers most likely to have wallet keys, cloud credentials and production access sitting on their machines.  Researchers at security firm Socket said earlier this week they identified a supply-chain attack called TrapDoor spread across three major open-source programming registries, with more than 34 malicious packages and hundreds of related versions and artifacts.  A key takeaway is that attackers are becoming more focused. In addition to social engineering, which targets individuals holding key information, supply-chain attacks are built not to catch random retail users but developers. Those are the very people who may have wallet files, SSH keys, GitHub tokens, cloud credentials and production access on the same machine they use to build crypto and AI tools.  Socket did not identify victims or stolen funds, but said the packages were live across npm, PyPI and Crates.io and contained payloads that could steal wallet data, exfiltrate credentials, test AWS and GitHub tokens and leave behind files to keep access active.  The packages programmed in JavaScript, Python and Rust were disguised as developer helpers, security scanners, wallet tools, Solidity utilities, AI prompt packages and Sui or Move build helpers.  Boring by design  The names were boring by design. Packages were named “wallet-security-checker,”

STRC slips below par as Strategys (MSTR) cash reserves face growing scrutiny

Strategys perpetual preferred security, Stretch (STRC), fell as low as $97.11 on Thursday as bitcoin slipped to the $73,000 mark.  STRC tends to face selling pressure during bitcoin drawdowns and in the days immediately following its ex-dividend date, as seen on Nov. 20 and Feb. 5. The ex-dividend effect typically results in a price adjustment reflecting the value of the dividend, while periods of bitcoin weakness can reduce investor appetite for Strategy-related securities. Together, these factors have historically created short-term pressure on STRCs market price.  The company has structured STRC to trade near its $100 par value, as maintaining that level enables Strategy to continue issuing shares through its at-the-market (ATM) program and raise additional capital efficiently.  Strategy repurchased $1.5 billion of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2029 recently, reducing its overall debt burden. However, the buyback was funded using cash from the company‘s U.S. dollar reserve. Strategy’s cash balance declined from approximately $2.25 billion to $871 million as a result.  Based on the companys current annual preferred dividend obligations of roughly $1.7 billion, the remaining cash reserve now provides only about six months of coverage but was initially implemented to cover the dividend obligations for 24 months.  Executive Chairman Michael Saylor discussed several

SOL’s 30% Open Interest Drop Puts $68 Back In Focus

Tech  SOLs 30% Open Interest Drop Puts $68 Back In Focus  Bitcoin Ethereum News  Solana (SOL) futures dropped sharply in May as traders reduced leveraged exposure across all exchanges. SOL open interest (OI) dropped to $1.90 billion on Thursday from $2.75 billion on May 11, a 30% decline, while funding rates remained close to neutral. The combination points to weakening investor sentiment as SOL eyes a retest of its yearly low at $68.  SOL spot demand offsets futures market weakness  The aggregated funding rate for Solana futures held near -0.005, showing balanced positioning between longs and shorts. SOL traders have not built aggressive directional bets despite the recent price slide to $80.  At the same time, the aggregated futures volume cumulative volume delta (CVD) for stablecoin-margined orders fell to a yearly low of -$13 billion. The CVD tracks whether buyers or sellers are more active over time. The decline signals stronger sell-side pressure in futures markets through May.  However, spot activity paints a steadier picture. Spot CVD has improved to $350 million since March, showing that buyers have continued to absorb supply on spot exchanges even as derivatives positioning has weakened.  The positive flows into spot SOL exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to that trend. The monthly net inflows reached
