Cardano Price Prediction: Hoskinson Takes Governance Into His Own Hands as ADA Wedge Nears Its Limit

Price reclaimed the top of its descending channel after Fridays scare, which had briefly threatened a drop to the lowest levels since March. That bounce held, but the chart is not clean yet. The Parabolic SAR sits at $0.2635, well above current price, keeping the daily bias bearish. A retest of the 50-day moving average near $0.2538 is the next logical step if bulls maintain momentum through the week.  Multiple Fair Value Gaps are stacked between $0.29 and $0.37, with Fibonacci confluence at the 0.5 level ($0.29245), 0.618 ($0.3094), and 0.705 ($0.3220). None of those matter unless ADA first clears $0.25 and reclaims $0.2754, which aligns with the 0.382 Fib and prior structure resistance.  ADA Key levels for May 26:Resistance: $0.2500, $0.2635 (SAR), $0.2754 (0.382 Fib)Support: $0.2400 (wedge lower trendline), $0.2200 (macro floor)  Cardanos Real Problem Right Now: Urgency, Not Fundamentals  Criticism circulating this weekend called out Cardano‘s $128M TVL, $1.3M daily DEX volume, and 17,000 active addresses as proof the chain is overvalued at a $9B market cap. The TVL figure is misleading, Cardano’s staking model means locked value never shows up in standard TVL counts, and by staked assets alone it would rank among cryptos highest.

Solana captures 64% of tokenized stock wallets – What it means now

Tokenized equities had already started gaining broader traction before Solana strengthened its lead across on-chain stock ownership markets recently.  Retail participation also accelerated once lower fees and faster settlement reduced barriers to global equity access.  Solana tokenized stockholders later climbed toward roughly 192,100 wallets, representing nearly 64% of total cross-chain participation overall. Growth also accelerated sharply after November 2025 before reaching fresh highs into May 2026 beneath expanding adoption conditions.  Source: Token Terminal  Meanwhile, BNB Chain remained near roughly 63,200 holders, while Ethereum [ETH] stayed closer toward 36,800 beneath slower network activity. That widening lead increasingly reflected how users prefer faster execution and cheaper transfers during active trading conditions.  However, tokenized equities still represent a very small share of broader traditional financial markets worldwide.  If adoption continues rising steadily, Solana may strengthen its role as a growing gateway for tokenized real-world financial assets.  DeFi revenue reaches historic highs  Tokenized financial adoption had already started expanding across blockchain networks before DeFi cash flows accelerated toward historic revenue levels recently. Institutions and retail users also increased participation once on-chain infrastructure started generating stronger recurring economic activity.  Holder revenue later climbed toward roughly $750 million year-to-date after 2025 peaked above nearly $2.1 billion across all chains. Earlier between 2022 and 2023, revenue

Hyperliquid price rallies over 40% in a week, can bulls push higher?

Hyperliquids native token $HYPE has surged more than 40% over the past seven days, fueled by aggressive institutional accumulation, fresh all-time highs in derivatives activity, and a major technical breakout that has traders eyeing another leg higher.  According to data from crypto.news, Hyperliquid ($HYPE) climbed from around $45 last week to an intraday high near $64 on May 25 before consolidating around the $63 region at press time. The move came even as Bitcoin struggled to decisively reclaim the $110,000 level and several large-cap altcoins traded sideways amid renewed macro uncertainty tied to U.S. Treasury yields and Federal Reserve rate expectations.  Institutional catalysts have played a central role in the rally. Earlier this month, both the 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF and Bitwises Hyperliquid ETF debuted on U.S. exchanges, opening direct institutional access to $HYPE exposure. Combined inflows into the two products reportedly surpassed $53 million during their opening sessions, adding significant spot demand pressure to an already supply-constrained market.  Adding to the bullish narrative, Bitwise disclosed that it would allocate 10% of ETF management fees toward purchasing and holding $HYPE tokens on its balance sheet. Traders interpreted the move as an early sign that asset managers may begin treating $HYPE as a strategic treasury

Vitalik Buterin pushes Ethereum Foundation toward AI-verified code

Vitaliks thoughts on the efforts to save and strengthen EF. Source: X.  Buterin reiterated that the foundation was just another node and not a central authority like Ethereum. It was consistent with its original objective during the token sale era, which was completed with the help of the Serenity upgrade.  Fiscal responsibility is at the heart of the pivot. At present, the EF owns only about 0.16% of the total ETH in circulation—significantly less than even some individuals or corporations—and is certainly not set up to be an everlasting guardian of the entire ecosystem.  To maximize effectiveness, it will focus on longevity rather than breadth, meaning it will sell less ETH.  Vitalik boosts EFs technical vision, taking on CROPS  Buterins vision starts and ends with the need for Ethereum to be “deeply impressive” within CROPS, not speed alone, which would simply make it mediocre. He flat-out rejects 250ms latency and 1 million TPS as a recipe for failure, as it would render Ethereum no more decentralized than its competitors.  Instead, the team will aim to achieve three key objectives with respect to technology, all of which can be done with the aid of high-throughput and scalable L2 systems:  Provably bug-free software via AI-assisted formal verification: What was

Mow: I Feel Sorry for Ethereum

Many rollups still rely on centralized sequencers, and massive staking pools of the likes of Lido continue to dominate the base layer (hence, centralization concerns are alive and well).  Ethereum is bleeding market dominance while struggling to defend its utility against other competitors.  Tom Lees multi-billion dollar catastrophe  Ethereums predicament is becoming painfully apparent on Wall Street.  Tom Lees firm, BitMine Immersion Technologies, is currently shouldering catastrophic paper losses.  The firms average acquisition cost sits around $3,850 per ETH. The firm is currently underwater to the tune of $8 billion in unrealized losses.  Despite a sharply dropping stock price, BitMine continues to stubbornly buy the dip.  A “smaller ship”  Amid the price depression and mounting criticism, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently introduced a new vision for the Ethereum blockchain.  Buterin is stepping out of the limelight, rejecting any aspirations of being the “eternal steward” of the network.  He has also explained that the Ethereum Foundation will be selling less ETH from now.  He also insists Ethereum must become “impressive” in more fundamental ways, focusing on bug-free code, resilient chain consensus, and higher decentralization.

Ethereum Foundation Director Behind Vitalik Buterin’s New ETH Plan

Under Bestians guidance, EF will become a smaller, leaner. It will become more focused organization centered on Ethereums core “cypherpunk” values. This includes decentralization, privacy, censorship resistance, openness, and security.  As Vitalik announced, rather than chasing 250ms latency, 1M TPS goal and aggressive business development, Ethereums goal is to become “deeply impressive” technically. For this, the organization is set to run through initiatives. It includes AI-assisted formal verification to make Ethereum nearly bug-free, “available chain consensus”, and intermediary minimization.  This comes after a week when Vitalik outlined plans to improve Ethereum‘s Native Privacy. FOCIL, EIP-8141, smart contract wallets, and specialized Layer-2 networks are few components now set to become part of Ethereum’s long-term scaling roadmap.  Other Articles…  This is something that Bastian had announced right when he took on the role. He had written in a X post, “The mandate of the EF is to make sure that real permissionless infra, cypherphunk, is what gets built.Ethereum should outlast us…to make it last 1000 years or more.”  Thus, the base for current transition had already been laid by Bastian as soon as he took over as EFs co-ED.  Board of Ethereum Foundation  The decisions that happen at and for Ethereum are made by cumulative majority. Besides Bastian Bues,

Japanese Yen: Intervention needs BoJ support – HSBC

Finance  Japanese Yen: Intervention needs BoJ support – HSBC  HSBC analysts argue that foreign exchange intervention alone is unlikely to keep the USD/JPY pair sustainably below 160. They stress that effectiveness increases when intervention coincides with Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hikes and lower Oil prices. They also warn that emerging fiscal concerns and rising long-dated JGB yields could limit any sustained Japanese Yen (JPY) appreciation in the near term.  Policy follow-through key for Japanese Yen  “The key lesson from 2024 is that intervention without policy follow‑through tends to lose impact quickly.”  “In practical terms, intervention alone is unlikely to keep USD/JPY below 160 for a prolonged period of time.”  “It is more effective when supported by broader conditions − such as a Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike and lower oil prices − which together could help USD/JPY grind lower over time.”  “However, fiscal concerns may re-emerge and complicate the near-term outlook. These risks could surface in late May, linked to supplementary budget discussions, and/or in June, when Japan releases its annual medium‑term economic and fiscal policy guidelines, expected to be Prime Minister Takaichis first.”  “Such developments could push long‑dated Japanese government bond (JGB) yields higher, reinforcing the view that underlying domestic pressures remain persistent.”  “Overall, even with

‘Clock Is Ticking,’ ECB Warns Banks Over Mythos and AI Cyber Risks

The European Central Bank has summoned banks to a Tuesday session over cybersecurity risks posed by Anthropics Claude Mythos and other advanced AI models.  Frank Elderson, vice-chair of the ECBs supervisory board, said the regulator wants banks to accelerate the rollout of software patches to address vulnerabilities.  Why Advanced AI Models Have Banks on Edge  Anthropic released the Claude Mythos Preview in April under Project Glasswing, a restricted program. Recent evaluations show the scale of what Mythos uncovers.  The UKs AI Security Institute (AISI) found Mythos Preview cleared 73% of expert-level Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges. No AI model could pass that benchmark before April 2025.  Mozilla shipped Firefox 150 with 271 patches for vulnerabilities found by the model, far above prior Opus 4.6 results.  Elderson said banks must accelerate patch deployment because attackers can now reverse-engineer fixes within 30 minutes. He warned that ‘andante’ tempo is no longer enough.  “There is a whole range of issues on cyber security that we have been engaging on with the banks for years, which are all still valid, but given the progress in AI, they need to be dealt with faster,” he told FT. “In musical terms, I would say andante may have been good enough, but we need
