Altcoin Season 2026? Long-Term Chart Hints at 2017 and 2021 Repeat, Data Says Otherwise

A long-term altcoin market cap chart shows a structure that preceded the last two altcoin seasons. The Altcoin Season Index, however, reads 35 and remains firmly in Bitcoin Season territory.　　Two technical setups argue for a coming altcoin rally, while one real-time data point argues against it. The chart hints at a 2017 or 2021 repeat as Bitcoin dominance breaks out of accumulation.　　Altcoin Market Cap Repeats a Pattern That Preceded 2017 and 2021 Rallies　　X analyst el_crypto_prof published a weekly altcoin market cap chart showing three structurally similar setups across the past decade. The total altcoin market cap, excluding Bitcoin (BTC), currently sits near $1.06 trillion.　　The first setup ran through 2015 and 2016. Altcoins built an accumulation base, climbed an ascending trendline, then printed a fakeout below the line in late 2016. That fakeout marked the bottom before the parabolic 2017 altcoin rally.　　Altcoin Market Cap / Source: X　　The second setup played out in 2019 and 2020. Compression along a descending trendline ended with the March 2020 Covid Crash fakeout. That fakeout preceded the 2020 and 2021 altseason explosion.　　The current setup has shown a similar structure since 2023. Altcoins built a base, climbed an ascending trendline through 2024, and recently printed a fakeout

Economic Pessimism Hits Another All-Time High Thanks To Soaring Gas Prices

Views on the U.S. economy dropped again in May to another record low, according to a widely tracked survey by the University of Michigan, which warned that further ceasefire talks with Iran are unlikely to boost optimism unless surging gas prices cool.　　Getty Images　　Key Facts　　The University of Michigan‘s consumer sentiment reading, a monthly survey of Americans’ views on the economy, dropped to 48.2 in May from a previous record low of 49.8 in April.　　Values below the surveys historical benchmark of 100 correspond with growing pessimism among Americans, and any reading above—which last occurred in 2018—suggests broader optimism.　　Survey interviews were completed between April 21 and May 4.　　Why Are Americans Pessimistic About The Economy？　　About one-third of respondents mentioned gas prices and 30% mentioned President Donald Trump‘s tariffs, survey director Joanne Hsu said in a statement. “Consumers continue to feel buffeted by cost pressures, led by soaring prices at the pump,” Hsu said, adding, “Middle East developments are unlikely to boost sentiment until supply disruptions have been fully resolved and energy prices fall.” Americans’ views of their current financial situation fell to their lowest level since 2009, while the surveys expectations index—how optimistic consumers are about the economy and their finances over the next

Senator Warren Probes Meta Over Stablecoin Plans as Senate Panel Eyes CLARITY Act Markup

Senator Elizabeth Warren, a ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee, has raised concerns about Metas plans to integrate stablecoin payments into its platform. The senator highlighted the importance of the Senate having an idea of these plans, especially as they consider legislation to structure the crypto market.　　Senator Warren Probes Metas Stablecoin Integration Plans　　In a release, the senator‘s office revealed that she had sent a letter to Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, raising concerns about the companys plans to integrate a stablecoin to its platform for payments. Warren said that any attempt to control, influence, or preference a stablecoin on the companys platform could have serious implications for competition, privacy, the integrity of the U.S. payments system, and financial stability.　　Senator Warren also noted that it is essential for Congress to fully understand the implications of Metas plans to integrate stablecoins as it considers legislation to structure the crypto market. As CoinGape reported, the company has already integrated USDC for creator payouts. However, it remains unclear whether the tech giant plans further stablecoin integration in the latter part of this year.　　Meanwhile, the senator also mentioned that this is not Metas first attempt at stablecoin-related business plans. The company announced the Libra project

MegaETH launches MEGA buyback funded by USDm stablecoin revenue

MegaETH has activated a MEGA token buyback program funded entirely by net revenue from its USDm stablecoin, turning Treasury‑backed yield into a standing bid for its “real‑time Ethereum” L2 token after a sharp post‑launch selloff.The MegaETH Foundation has kicked off a MEGA token buyback program, completing its first purchase using all net earnings generated by USDm through the end of April.USDms current supply is about $480 million, and future MEGA buybacks will run programmatically, with size determined by USDm supply and yield on its reserve assets.The foundation stresses that USDm is not issued or operated by MegaETH or MegaLabs, even as its revenue stream becomes a core economic engine for MEGA demand.　　The MegaETH Foundation says its MEGA token buyback plan is now live, with the first repurchase funded entirely by net earnings from USDm accumulated through the end of April. In an announcement on X, the foundation said it had “completed the first MEGA buyback using all net income generated by USDm‘s issuer as of April 30,” framing the move as the start of an ongoing demand loop where the ecosystem’s stablecoin revenue is recycled into the native token.　　MEGA buyback goes live, tied directly to USDm revenues　　Importantly, the foundation reiterated

Philippine Tycoon Lucio Tan-Backed PNB Holdings May Push Back $930 Million IPO

PNB Holdings—the property arm of tycoon Lucio Tans Philippine National Bank (PNB)— may delay its initial public listing to protect its estimated 56.3 billion pesos ($930 million) valuation from a prolonged equities selloff fueled by the Middle East conflict.　　Pushing back the listing will protect shareholder value amid current market volatility, said Lucio Tan III, the tycoon‘s grandson and chief operating officer of LT Group, PNB’s largest shareholder.　　“The initial plan was to list very, very soon, but due to the issues that were seeing with the market, we may potentially have to push it back,” Tan said in a text message LT Group sent to . “At the end of the day, we want to make sure that we maximize the value of this overall listing and we want to do it in a way where we are able to fully capitalize.”　　PNB spun off its property unit in 2021 and distributed 51% of the shares in PNB Holdings, which owns prime real estate in the Makati central business district in the Philippines and along Manila Bay, to the bank‘s shareholders as dividends. Its planned IPO has been ongoing since then to help boost the bank’s capital and raise funds to develop

Retail Investors Are Doubling Down And Fear May Be Driving The Rally

Retail investors are pouring money into the market even as geopolitical risk rises and volatility creeps higher, a divergence that‘s helping fuel the AI‑driven rally. Flows into U.S. equities have remained resilient, with retail traders continuing to buy dips rather than pull back, a pattern strategists highlighted at this week’s NYSE Creator Economy Summit. But beneath the confidence is a deeper question: Whats motivating everyday investors to lean in when the macro signals say caution？　　Markets are rallying despite the ongoing war, and optimism around first-quarter earnings driven — particularly from AI-linked companies — appears to be adding momentum, Reuters reports. Retail investing behavior drives about 20% of total market activity, and retail investors seem to be leaning in rather than pulling back despite macro uncertainty.　　This week, Bilal Little, director of exchange-traded products, invited me to attend the NYSE Creator Economy Summit to learn more about the markets from strategists, analysts and wealth managers, alongside other creators from around the country. The event brought ETF Central‘s education platform to the forefront, a resource built to deliver real-time data, sharp insights and tools for investors navigating an increasingly complex ETF landscape.

Re drops LayerZero and goes all-in on Chainlink CCIP for cross-chain transfers

Re, the onchain reinsurance protocol with more than $475 million in total value locked, is migrating from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure following an internal review of bridging solutions, according to a Friday statement.　　The switch covers reUSD, the protocols yield-bearing deposit token with a market cap above $160 million, and will govern how that asset travels across every chain it touches.　　The team said that it selected CCIP for its security-first design, including decentralized oracle networks, 16 independent validator nodes, built-in rate-limit protections, and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.　　CCIP enables reUSD transfers through a lock-and-burn mechanism on the source chain and mint-and-release on the destination chain, validated through Chainlinks decentralized infrastructure.　　“Chainlink has been a foundational technology provider powering Re from the beginning,” Cliff White, Vice President of Engineering for Re, said. “It is an obvious choice to upgrade to Chainlink and secure the expansion of reUSD across chains.”　　Re stated that its infrastructure decisions prioritize security, auditability, and institutional-grade resilience over speed of deployment, particularly for cross-chain operations involving real-world financial exposure.　　“Were excited to support Re as it upgrades to Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure to expand reUSD across chains. This highlights a broader industry shift

USD: Fed focus shifts to inflation path – TD Securities

TD Securities‘ FX strategists Jayati Bharadwaj and Howard Du note that stronger United States (US) payrolls produced only a modest reaction in the US Dollar (USD), as markets focus more on inflation than labor data. With the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 2026 path now tied to the energy shocks pass-through to core prices, they expect choppy USD trading and see near-term downside as elusive without progress in the Middle East.　　Dollar reacts modestly to strong jobs　　“The stronger than expected payrolls report had a modest reaction in the USD. We have flagged that the Fed path for the year now leans much more on how much the energy shock from Q1 will pass through to core inflation, rather than on labor market conditions (as long as they remain stable). This could potentially be why markets are reacting more to the softer wage growth data in the report rather than the stronger headline jobs number.”　　“We have flagged that the Fed path for the year now leans much more on how much the energy shock from Q1 will pass through to core inflation, rather than on labor market conditions (as long as they remain stable). This explains the timid reaction in the FX space, and
