OKX Reportedly Eyes Coinone Stake Amid South Korea Crypto Race

Even so, Coinone remains one of the country‘s five main won-trading venues, alongside Upbit, Bithumb, Korbit and Gopax, making any sizable reported stake a potential entry point in one of Asia’s most important crypto markets.　　The reported approach follows earlier interest from other global players this year. In January, several local outlets reported that Coinbase was weighing an equity investment in Coinone, as its controlling shareholder explored a partial sale; however, no Coinbase deal was announced.　　Cointelegraph reached out to Korea Investment & Securities for comment, but did not receive a response by publication. OKX declined to comment on the matter.　　Korean financial giants deepen bets on crypto exchanges　　Domestic financial groups, meanwhile, are moving aggressively to lock down platforms of their own. In February, Mirae Asset Consulting agreed to buy a 92.06% stake in Korbit for 133.48 billion won (about $93 million), effectively taking control of the smaller exchange as part of Mirae Asset Groups digital asset push.　　On Friday, Hana Financial Group said it will invest roughly 1.003 trillion won (about $668 million) to acquire a 6.55% stake in Dunamu Inc., operator of one of Koreas biggest crypto exchanges, Upbit, with the deal slated to close in mid-June as a long-term strategic bet

DeFi Executives Speak on Critical Issues Affecting the Tokenized Asset Ecosystem

There is a “double-standard” problem facing the tokenized assets ecosystem.DeFi companies should not be discussing minimum standards amid high expectations.Regulatory elements are the potential catalysts for the tokenized asset sector.　　The experts expressed their opinions during a meetup hosted by NOWNodes as one of the sideline events of Consensus 2026 in Miami. The meetups panel of discussion featured industry experts from Crypto.com, Zerion, Solflare, Li.Fi, the TON Foundation, Paxos, Houdini Swap, and Globalstake, while the discussion focused on what it takes to build successful tokenized systems and the impact on those affected when they fail.　　Scaling Under Pressure　　Li.Fi CEO Philipp Zenter cited the industry‘s double standards as a crucial inhibitor to the sector’s development. During the first panel session moderated by ChangeNOWs Chief Strategy Officer, Pauline, Zenter questioned the prevailing scenario where users believe stablecoins are backed by cash held by a private, unaudited company, but doubt the reality of tokenized real-world assets.　　Responding to the same issue, Solflare co-founder Vidor Gence explained how his team operates, noting that they run five RPC providers simultaneously, cross-referencing responses for high-priority transactions. According to Gence, his firm cross-references data correctness across RPC providers when dealing with high-priority cases.　　Zerions Abi Dharshan had a different perspective on

CME and NYSE Push for U.S. Regulatory Oversight of Hyperliquid

The HYPE token had surged as much as 20% yesterday after Coinbase and Circle announced a new partnership with Hyperliquid. As CoinGape reported, Coinbase will become the official USDC treasury deployer for the DEX platform.　　Meanwhile, the CME and NYSEs push for U.S. regulation of Hyperliquid comes as the Perp DEX continues to gain market share with its 24/7 derivatives platform. Notably, the DEX has its HIP-3 markets, which enable traders to trade traditional assets such as stocks and commodities, which the CME and NYSE offer.　　The move from these TradFi giants has drawn a reaction from members of the crypto community, who have indicated that they are simply looking to attack the competition. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT noted that it was interesting that the NYSE only has an issue with Hyperliquid but not with Polymarket.　　This came as he highlighted the NYSEs stake in Polymarket. “Never mind, it all makes sense now,” he concluded. Hyperliquid is also in competition with Polymarket as the Perp DEX recently rolled out the HIP-4 upgrade on mainnet, which enables the creation of outcome markets.　　Bitwise HYPE ETF Goes Live　　The Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF has gone live amid the move from the CME and NYSE.

Strategys STRC Hits $1.5B Volume, Bullish Loses $605M, Strive Clears Debt

Strategys Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, known as STRC, registered an all-time daily trading volume of $1.53 billion on Thursday, the highest single-session liquidity print since the instrument launched. Executive chairman Michael Saylor confirmed the figure publicly, and a tracker monitoring the issuance estimates the firm could theoretically raise roughly $735.4 million in proceeds, enough to acquire approximately 9,066 Bitcoin at prevailing prices. Strategy has already added 56,770 BTC to its treasury since April and 101,147 BTC since March, lifting total holdings to 818,869 coins valued near $66.5 billion and cementing its lead among nearly 200 publicly listed Bitcoin holders.　　Bullish disclosed a first-quarter net loss of $604.9 million, deeper than the $348.6 million shortfall a year earlier, alongside adjusted revenue of $92.8 million that fell short of the $95.4 million Wall Street consensus. Adjusted earnings per share landed at 13 cents versus expectations of 17 cents, weighed down by $559 million in unrealized losses on the exchange‘s digital asset holdings during a quarter when Bitcoin declined 24%. Shares fell 5.6% to $39.46 during the regular session before recovering slightly after hours. Chief executive Tom Farley pointed to the proposed $4.2 billion Equiniti acquisition as central to the

Ethereum Network Registers Strongest Profit Realization In Weeks — What This Means

Ethereum　　Ethereum Network Registers Strongest Profit Realization In Weeks — What This Means　　Bitcoin Ethereum News　　Ethereum is showing a notable shift in on-chain behavior, as the network records its strongest wave of profit realization in weeks. After a period of steady accumulation and price recovery, a growing number of holders are now locking in gains. The spike reflects a meaningful shift in on-chain behavior as more investors move into profitable territory once again.　　What Rising Realized Profits Reveal About Ethereum Market Sentiment　　In a recent X post, Santiment Intelligence revealed that Ethereum has recorded its highest level of network realized profit in the past three weeks, with approximately $74.58 million in gains locked in. This surge in profit-taking comes as ETHs price has declined 5.5% over the last three days, creating a seemingly counterintuitive market dynamic.　　Currently, holders with a much lower cost are selling into the dip. A significant number of investors accumulated ETH when it traded below $2,000 during February and March, a period when savvy traders also accumulated, despite war fears and macro uncertainty across the crypto market.　　Traders who bought aggressively during those weaker conditions are still holding strong unrealized gains even after the current mid-May correction. As a result, some of

XRP leverage ratio rises to a 2-month high on Binance

The XRP derivatives exposure on Binance has surged to a 2-month high, raising the risk of a liquidation cascade if price momentum reverses.　　As of May 15, the Estimated Leverage Ratio (ELR) for XRP on Binance, which measures the ratio of derivative exposure to underlying collateral, has climbed to approximately 0.179, its highest level in two months, according to data from analyzed by Finbold. As such, the risk in the derivatives market has spiked as the token retested a crucial supply level around $1.50.　　ELRs for XRP on Binance. Source: CryptoQuant　　Historically, an elevated ELR has raised the odds of further capitulation, catalyzed by a long squeeze – a scenario when a price drop forces leveraged long positions into liquidation, thus strengthening selling pressure. As such, should XRP price reverse sharply, the elevated leverage could trigger a series of forced liquidations, hence amplifying losses and accelerating a deeper price decline.　　A similar situation was recorded in mid-March 2026, when the ELR on Binance surged above 0.18, after which XRP price fell more than 17%, declining from around $1.50 to a low near $1.27 as leveraged positions unwound sharply.　　XRP price outlook amid peak ELR　　Amid the elevated ELR for XRP on Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange

TRUMP token price drop after Trump Mobile T1 shipping update

A fresh TRUMP token price drop followed what should have calmed investors: confirmation that Trump Mobiles delayed T1 smartphone is finally close to shipping. Instead of lifting sentiment, the update appeared to deepen market doubts, pushing the token down about 5% after the company said the handset would begin going out to customers.　　That reaction stood out because the news itself sounded upbeat. Trump Mobile posted that the T1 phone had arrived, said pre-order customers would receive an update email, and added that phones start shipping this week. Still, traders treated the moment less like a launch milestone and more like a reality check.　　The backdrop helps explain why. TRUMP had already been under pressure for months, and the latest move leaves the token nearly 90% below its earlier peak levels. In other words, this was not a healthy market briefly shaken by mixed messaging. It was a weak market that took a shipment update as another reason to stay cautious.　　TRUMP token falls on shipping updateMarket reaction to the Trump Mobile T1 phone　　The immediate headline was simple: TRUMP fell around 5% after Trump Mobile confirmed the T1 phone was about to ship. The decline turned a product update into a market signal,

Markets raise odds for Federal Reserve rate hike after inflation report

The rate cut party that markets spent all of 2024 anticipating has officially been uninvited. Fresh inflation data has pushed traders to price in something that seemed unthinkable just months ago: the Federal Reserve might actually raise interest rates.　　US headline CPI climbed to 3.8% year-over-year in April, hitting a nearly three-year high. Paired with March‘s PCE reading, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, showing headline inflation at 3.5% and core PCE at 3.2%, the picture becomes harder to ignore.　　The pivot from pivot　　Market predictions currently indicate a 44% chance of a Fed rate hike before July 2027. Perhaps more telling, traders see no cuts happening before that date either.　　Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee has acknowledged that rate hikes are now on the table as a policy option. Thats notable because Goolsbee has generally been considered one of the more dovish voices on the Federal Open Market Committee.　　The shift represents a complete reversal from where markets stood entering 2024, when futures were pricing in as many as six rate cuts.　　Oil, geopolitics, and the inflation feedback loop　　The inflation resurgence isnt happening in a vacuum. Energy prices have surged due to geopolitical tensions stemming from conflict involving Iran, sending oil costs higher and creating the
