Ripple CTO Emeritus on ETH Decision: Even 1% Chance Would Have Changed Everything

In a recent discussion on X, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz reflected on his early Ethereum exit. An X user had retold Schwartz‘s story of selling his ETH holdings for $1.05 each and that the Ripple CTO Emeritus wouldn’t have sold if he thought there was a 1% chance of ETH hitting $2,368.　　Schwartz famously sold a total of 40,000 ETH when the second largest cryptocurrency was trading at just $1.05. The Ripple CTO Emeritus initially bought the 40,000 ETH tokens at $0.311 and sold because he thought the token had reached its top. The proceeds were used to purchase a set of solar panels that he installed at his home in Oakland, California. Shortly after this, the ETH price started rising.　　In response to the X user, Schwartz responded that a 1% chance of his knowing the ETH price would rise might have made a difference and he would not have sold it for $1.05. To him, the odds of ETH reaching $2,368 werent just there.　　Crypto Regulation 2026: What Is Happening in Russia？　　Bitcoin Might Never Trade Below $60K Again　　If I had thought there was a 1% chance of it hitting $2,368, I would not have sold it for $1.05.

Bitcoin drops to $79,000, ETH, SOL, DOGE sharply lower on renewed U.S.-Iran war tensions

Bitcoin dropped to $79,074 in late Asian hours Monday, reversing nearly $1,500 from a $80,594 intraday high that had marked the highest print since January 31.　　The pullback came as Irans Fars news agency claimed two missiles hit a U.S. patrol boat near Jask Island after the vessel allegedly ignored Iranian warnings to leave its territorial waters. Brent crude jumped more than 5% to trade above $113 a barrel before paring the gain.　　The U.S. denied the report shortly after and said no American ship had been struck.

ECB: June leaning shapes Euro outlook – BNY

BNY‘s Bob Savage highlights that the European Central Bank (ECB) is now clearly leaning toward a June rate move, contrasting with the Bank of England’s (BoE) preference to wait for fuller confirmation. He sees this directional guidance as a break from the prior “policy in a good place” stance. Divergent paths for Norges Bank and Riksbank versus ECB expectations are likely to drive NOK–SEK and Euro-area rate pricing into year-end.　　June move bias and Nordic spillovers　　“Our take: The ECB and BOE decisions for April have largely set the tone for the rest of the continent. The ECB is clearly leaning toward a June move at this point, with President Christine Lagarde stating at the post-decision press conference that while the economy was not seen as facing second-round effects, she knew ”where the ECB is headed on interest rates.“”　　“The fact that there is even a direction in place moves squarely against the notion of the ”policy in a good place“ designation before the conflict. This also stands in contrast to BOE Governor Andrew Baileys notion that unchanged rates were ”a reasonable place“ for the BOE.”　　“Transposing such views onto Norges Bank and the Riksbank, which decide in the coming days, we believe a

OFAC Said Seized Wallets Were Iranian; Analysis Finds Other State Actors More Likely

Multiple wallet addresses recently sanctioned by the US Treasury ‌Department for their ties to Iran may not be linked to the Islamic Republic, but to other state actors instead, analysis published Sunday suggests.　　That analysis, by blockchain intelligence firm Nominis, said that while the recent seizing of wallets holding more than $340 million by Treasury‘s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) was a significant crypto enforcement event, some of those wallets’ characteristics lack a similarity to previously seized wallets linked Tehran.　　“While the use of cryptocurrency by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is well established, this case presents structural and behavioral characteristics that diverge meaningfully from previously observed patterns,” said Nominis CEO Snir Levi.　　He said that IRGC-linked wallets have shown some consistency in their operations, including that the funds are distributed across multiple wallets, individual wallet balances are kept relatively low — typically a few million US dollars, holdings arent retained for extended periods and activity is structured to minimize exposure to seizure or freezing mechanisms.　　“The behavioral divergence observed in this case raises a critical question: To what extent does the frozen $340 million reflect direct IRGC control, versus infrastructure that overlaps with broader, potentially foreign, financial networks,” Levi said.　　He said

The 50-day EMA at $86.21 sits inside the same zone, making $84.74 to $87.21 the immediate decision range.　　The descending trendline from the March high runs through the $87 to $88 area, adding a third layer of resistance to the 0.5 Fib and 50-day EMA. The MACD below the chart has both lines below zero, with the signal line at negative $0.23 and the histogram printing small red bars.

Tokenization Megatrend: Grayscale Names ETH, SOL, LINK in $30B Market

Tokenization Could Drive Fees, , and Developers　　As tokenized assets expand, usage may rise through issuance, trading, and transfers. This activity can drive demand for blockspace and transaction fees on platforms. Networks with higher activity may attract more , developers, and capital over time. The market is also split by architecture. Institution-centric networks prioritize privacy and permissioning, which may support early adoption by financial institutions. Open networks provide transparency and broader access, enabling wider participation and application development. Hybrid approaches combine elements of both, allowing customization while maintaining connections to larger ecosystems.　　The analysis frames tokenization as a multi-phase process rather than a single-chain outcome. Grayscale Research said:　　“In our view, value will accrue to the underlying blockchain tokens — including ETH, SOL, and CC — with institution-centric networks potentially capturing early activity and open networks driving longer-term upside potential.”　　“Regardless of how this transformation unfolds, LINK appears well positioned to offer consistent, chain-agnostic exposure across adoption phases,” the report added.　　Institution-focused platforms may lead early adoption, while open networks could expand their role as privacy solutions develop. Chainlink is positioned to operate across different systems through its middleware services. Overall, the outlook points to several blockchain networks benefiting as tokenization continues to develop across
