Bitcoin firms dump holdings as treasury losses reach $30B – Whats next?

Bitcoin [$BTC] has failed to keep up with the market expectations. During the institutional boom of 2024–2025, many firms accelerated aggressive Bitcoin accumulation.  By 2026, as market conditions turned unfavorable, some treasuries were forced to liquidate positions to fund operations.  KULR Technology Group dumps $24.36 million in $BTC  With $BTC struggling, KULR Technology Group has begun selling its holdings, most likely to cut losses. According to Arkham data, KULR Technology Group transferred 300 $BTC, worth $24.36 million, to Coinbase Prime.  In December 2024, KULR announced it would allocate 90% of its surplus cash to Bitcoin. By July 2025, the company had built a reserve of 1,021 $BTC worth $101 million, purchased at an average price of $98,923.  Source: Arkham  Entering the market during the institutional boom, KULR benefited from favorable sentiment and a U.S. policy shift, with its stock soaring 10x to $43.92 after the reserve announcement.  Now, with $BTC trading well below its average entry price, the companys holdings have lost $18.25 million.  Source: Google Finance  The fading market frenzy has also hit its stock hard, which has dropped 74% year‑on‑year to $3.19, underscoring the struggles faced by public firms holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets.  Bitcoin public companies scale back amid rising losses  In addition to KULR Technology, Bitcoin

Ethereum Community Unveils Feature to End Blind Signing

The security feature comes as bad actors target the crypto industry with increasingly sophisticated hacks and scams despite considerable improvements in security measures in recent years.  North Korean state-backed workers have stolen over $7 billion in funds alone since 2009, with a large share of that coming from crypto protocols. The Bybit hack was its largest crypto heist by compromising a third-party service provider and manipulating transaction signatures.  Trezor chief technology officer Tomáš Sušánka told Cointelegraph that attackers have been exploiting this relentlessly due to there not being a widely accessible security feature that is capable of distinguishing malicious smart contracts from legitimate transactions.  This issue has led users to “unknowingly sign them, and lose everything,” Sušánka said, adding that the Clear Signing feature “directly addresses this by making transactions human-readable before approval.”  The Clear Signing feature was introduced through the Ethereum Foundations Trillion Dollar Security Initiative and initiated by Ledger through the open-source ERC-7730 token standard.  The foundation said the key components of the Clear Signing feature include “human-readable transaction descriptions” and a “neutral, mirrorable descriptor registry.”  It also includes an attestation framework enabling auditors to verify those descriptors.  A host of crypto platforms are supporting Clear Signing  Several other crypto wallets and Ethereum privacy and security

ETH Price Prediction: $2,450 Target Within 14 Days as Momentum Shifts Bullish

ETHs Technical Reality Check  Ethereum sits in a precarious but promising position at $2,301.70, trading well below its 200-day moving average of $2,639.58 but showing signs of base-building. The RSI hovering at 49.95 indicates neither overbought nor oversold conditions—classic consolidation territory where smart money accumulates before the next leg up.  The MACD histogram at dead zero tells the real story here: momentum has completely stalled, but this flatline often precedes explosive moves. With price sitting 40% of the way through the Bollinger Bands (0.39 position), Ethereum has room to run toward the upper band at $2,382.18 before hitting any technical ceiling. Blockchain.news technical analysis suggests this consolidation phase is nearing its end.  Volume & Price Alignment  The derivatives market is painting a bullish picture that spot traders are missing. With $514 million in 24-hour spot volume—respectable but not extraordinary—the real action is happening in futures. Open interest dropped 4.72% to $4.83 billion, typically signaling weak hands getting flushed out before stronger moves.  More telling is the positioning data: retail traders are 72.5% long while top traders (the smart money) are 69% long. When both retail and whales align on direction, price typically follows. The 1.10 taker buy/sell ratio confirms aggressive buying pressure is building, even

Previous Bitcoins Market Top Was Hidden Behind Sophisticated Whale Distribution — Analyst Explained

The previous Bitcoin market top may not have been marked by a dramatic crash or obvious sell signal, but by a highly coordinated, sophisticated wave of whale distribution. While most participants were driven by optimism and bullish conviction, large holders were quietly offloading positions in a way that blended seamlessly into normal market activity.  How Whale Distributed Bitcoin Without Triggering Warning Signals  The Bitcoin market top last year was less obvious than in past cycles, unfolding through a quiet, highly coordinated wave of whale distribution. ForeDex on X revealed that at a time when $BTC participants were filled with optimism and conviction, a whale moved roughly 30,000 $BTC to exchanges over 10 days via Galaxy Digital. Meanwhile, most market participants failed to recognize the significance of these flows.  ForeDex explained that $BTC was split into smaller amounts and distributed across multiple exchanges, unlike previous cycles. In earlier market tops, large flows often ranging from several thousand to 10,000 $BTC were sent directly to platforms such as Coinbase, Binance, or Gemini in a single transaction, making these movements relatively easy to detect.

Genesis Wallet Dormant Since 2015 Transfers 790 ETH Worth $1.78 Million

The address recorded zero outgoing or incoming transactions from 2015 through May 12, 2026. That stretch covers roughly 3,940 days, or 10.8 years. Around 21:47 UTC on May 13, 2026, the wallet became active. It first executed nine small test transactions, including dust amounts near 0.0000001 .  The holder then moved approximately 790.1739 across two transfers, 1 followed by 789.17388714 , to a brand-new receiving address identified as 0x0b9bcde72cd4390a9f91f5f52a29e0535e695942. That destination wallet had zero prior history and was created for this transfer.  At approximately $2,257 per at the time of the move, the transferred balance carried a value near $1,782,979. Alert was the first major onchain monitoring account to flag the transfer publicly. The math on the return is straightforward. A $244 entry at genesis pricing grew to roughly $1.783 million at the time of the move.  That represents approximately a 7,300-fold return over 10.8 years. Had the holder moved during s all-time high near $4,878, the same stack would have been worth over $3.85 million. The original address retains a small residual balance near 0.000024 along with negligible legacy token holdings, including minor amounts of LPT and OMG from early decentralized finance experiments.  Those positions carry minimal dollar value. No signs currently point

UK government bonds and sterling fall as pressure on Starmer rises

Tech  UK government bonds and sterling fall as pressure on Starmer rises  Britain‘s bond market just flashed a warning signal that investors haven’t seen in nearly three decades. The 30-year gilt yield surged to 5.825% on May 12, the highest it has been since 1998, while the 10-year yield climbed to 5.13%, a peak not reached since the 2008 financial crisis.  The catalyst isn‘t an external shock or a central bank surprise. It’s politics. Approximately 80 Labour MPs have called for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign following the partys bruising losses in local elections, and markets are repricing the risk of governing a country whose leadership may be in freefall.  Whats actually happening in gilt markets  Sterling fell alongside the bonds, declining against the dollar as traders connected the same dots. The FTSE and broader equity markets also dropped on May 12, completing a trifecta of bad news across UK asset classes.  For context, the last time UK bond markets moved this aggressively on political uncertainty was September 2022, when Liz Truss‘s mini-budget sent gilt yields spiraling and ultimately ended her 49-day premiership. The current selloff hasn’t reached that level of acute panic, but the direction is unmistakable.  The political backdrop  Nearly 80 Labour MPs demanding a

DeFi App Legend Shuts Down After Missing Growth Targets

Solana DeFi aggregator Step Finance said it was closing down in February after a $40 million treasury wallet breach in January, and DeFi derivatives protocol Polynomial also ceased operations in February.  Balancer Labs, the team behind the DeFi protocol Balancer, shuttered in March after mounting financial pressure following a $116 million hack in November.  Meanwhile, Seamless Protocol, a DeFi lending protocol on Base, said it was winding down in April, blaming volatile market conditions.  Users dont care whether product is onchain or not  Legend is a non-custodial, mobile-first DeFi aggregator launched around late 2024 by former Compound Finance executives, including CEO Hobby. It is used for earning, trading, borrowing and swapping assets like stablecoins and Ether via integrations with other DeFi protocols such as Aave, Compound and Uniswap.  It aimed to bring DeFi to its users rather than forcing them to sign into multiple different wallets or applications to use their crypto.  It announced its first funding round, raising $15 million from Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase Ventures, in February 2025.  However, Hobby said that mainstream users dont care if a product is onchain or not. “They want outcomes,” he said. “Better yield, faster payments, more control over their money.”  “The product that wins isn‘t the one that explains
