Polygon Breaks Away From the Pack
While stablecoin supply has contracted across several major networks over the past week, @0xPolygon is moving in the opposite direction. The total stablecoin market cap on Polygon has surged more than 8% in seven days, reaching approximately $3.678 billion at time of writing. That puts $POL in eighth place globally by stablecoin supply and within reach of @arbitrum, which currently holds the seventh spot.
The divergence is notable. @Ethereum, @trondao, and @Solana have all seen their stablecoin supply edge lower over the same period, underscoring that Polygon's gains are not simply a reflection of a rising tide across the sector.
A Network Built Around Stablecoin Activity
The latest surge is part of a longer-running growth story. By February 2026, stablecoin supply on the Polygon network had already reached an all-time high of $3.4 billion, more than doubling from $1.6 billion in January 2025. That represented a near 100% year-on-year increase, outpacing the global stablecoin market average growth of 45.2%.
USDC is the dominant stablecoin on Polygon with a 51.1% market share, followed by USDT at 27.8% and USDS at 19.5%. The network's strength is not just in idle supply, either. Polygon reportedly processed 178 million USD stablecoin transactions in March 2026, reflecting high velocity rather than parked balances.
Institutional payment flows have helped drive that activity. Revolut moved $810 million through Polygon in 2025, Tazapay processed $687 million on the network in January 2026 alone, and Stripe processed over $75 million in payments on the network.
Polygon Labs is also pushing deeper into regulated payments infrastructure. The company is exploring raising up to $100 million for a new unit focused on stablecoin payments, as it looks to expand into regulated financial services and drive greater transaction volume on its network. This forms part of a broader vision called the "Open Money Stack," which was announced in January 2026 and marked the network's formal transition from an Ethereum sidechain to a full-stack payments ecosystem.
With supply now approaching $3.7 billion and a potential flip of Arbitrum for the seventh spot in sight, Polygon's position in the stablecoin rankings looks set to keep climbing.

O serie neîntreruptă de intrări
De la lansarea din mijlocul lunii mai 2026, cele două fonduri tranzacționate la bursă $HYPE listate în SUA de la @Bitwise și @21shares nu au înregistrat nicio zi de ieșiri nete. Raliul token-ului nativ al Hyperliquid coincide cu o serie neîntreruptă de intrări în primele ETF-uri HYPE spot din SUA. Zile fără ieșiri. Nicio sesiune de vânzări nete.
Două produse conduc acțiunea: THYP de la 21Shares, tranzacționat pe Nasdaq, și BHYP de la Bitwise, listat pe NYSE. Ambele au fost activate în mijlocul lunii mai 2026. ETF-ul Bitwise Hyperliquid a început să tranzacționeze pe NYSE pe 15 mai 2026, sub tickerul BHYP. BHYP se numără printre primele ETP-uri Hyperliquid spot din SUA și este primul care oferă staking intern.

While most of the crypto market was working through a bruising period of losses, @Zcash was quietly compounding. One year ago, $ZEC carried a market cap of roughly $890 million. At the time of writing, that figure stands at around $9 billion, representing a roughly 9x return for long-term holders.
What Is Driving the $ZEC Rally?
The move is not a simple case of speculative overflow. $ZEC hit $642.18 on May 9, 2026, marking the peak of a rally from 2024 lows that crowned it the largest privacy coin by market cap, overtaking Monero. Several structural catalysts have converged to support the run. The SEC closed its nearly two-year investigation into the Zcash Foundation on January 15, 2026, without enforcement action, removing the regulatory overhang that had suppressed institutional participation for years. Shortly after, Grayscale filed a Form S-3 to convert its Zcash Trust into the first US spot privacy coin ETF, ticker ZCSH, on NYSE Arca on May 12, 2026.
Multicoin Capital also disclosed a "significant position" in $ZEC on May 5, accumulated quietly since February 2024. On the protocol side, 2025 saw a massive surge in shielded pool adoption, with over 30% of the total ZEC supply now fully shielded, an all-time high. The NU7 testnet, launched in May 2026, doubles shielded transaction speed and cuts block times, paving the way for quantum-resistant privacy.
A Broader Privacy Narrative With Institutional Legs
The $ZEC surge sits within a wider shift in how the market values financial privacy. Privacy tokens outperformed all other cryptocurrencies in 2025 and are poised to continue the trend in 2026, driven by increasing demand for financial anonymity amid tightening regulations. According to CoinDesk, analysts argue the thesis is grounded in something real: as regulation tightens and blockchain surveillance expands, financial privacy is shifting from an ideological preference to a functional requirement.
The "Privacy is Normal" narrative has shifted institutional perception from privacy coins as evasion tools to privacy coins as essential infrastructure for compliant commercial confidentiality. That reframing, combined with the SEC clearance, Grayscale's ETF filing, and growing on-chain usage, gives this rally a more durable foundation than previous cycles. $ZEC has surged approximately 920% over the past year, ranking first in annual price performance within the Broad Market category on Coinbase.
For long-term holders who stayed patient through years of underperformance, the privacy narrative has proven to be a very rewarding thesis indeed.

O cale lungă până sus
@Cardano's $ADA nu mai este o criptomonedă în top-10. Conform datelor CoinMarketCap, $ADA se clasează în prezent pe locul #13 cu o capitalizare de piață de aproximativ $8.5 miliarde, plasându-se între @Zcash $ZEC și @StellarOrg $XLM în clasamentul global.
Aceasta este o scădere dramatică pentru o rețea care a fost odată printre cele mai valoroase în crypto. $ADA a atins un preț maxim istoric de $3.09 în septembrie 2021 și, la vârful său, a avut o capitalizare de piață de aproape $92 miliarde, clasându-se anterior printre primele trei sau patru active digitale la nivel mondial.

Shiba Inu ($SHIB) is quietly adding to its on-chain holder base, even as the wider memecoin sector struggles for relevance. According to Etherscan data, the @Shibtoken memecoin now counts approximately 1,586,297 unique holder addresses. Two weeks ago, that figure stood at 1,584,659, representing a net gain of 1,638 addresses over the period.
Slow and Steady Growth
The numbers are modest, but the direction is consistent. On-chain data has pointed to a gradual, sustained climb in SHIB wallets over the past year. In March 2026, the holder count crossed 1.55 million, with The Crypto Basic reporting that over the prior month alone, the network had added around 8,500 new wallets. That pace has since slowed, but the upward trend has held.
Context matters when reading these figures. Holder count measures unique addresses, not people. One person can control multiple addresses, and custodial addresses can represent many users. Still, the steady rise does suggest that new participants continue to enter the ecosystem while existing holders remain committed.
Long-term holding remains dominant, with 78% of wallets holding their positions for more than one year. That kind of conviction stands out in a market category that has otherwise seen sharp declines in participation.
A Tough Backdrop for Memecoins
The broader memecoin environment offers a stark contrast to SHIB's incremental progress. Total memecoin market capitalization fell from $93.1 billion in January 2025 to $36.5 billion by January 2026, a decline of around 61%. Trading activity also fell sharply, with memecoin trading volume peaking near $20 billion in mid-2025 before sliding to under $3 billion by December.
The sustained contraction reflects waning speculative fervour, oversupply from millions of new tokens, and a rotation of liquidity toward assets perceived to have more durable fundamentals or utility. Against that backdrop, a memecoin that is still adding holders, however slowly, is at least moving in the right direction.
The memecoin market remains highly concentrated, with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu together accounting for about 84% of total memecoin market capitalization. That dominance speaks to SHIB's relative staying power, but it also underlines how much the sector has narrowed around a handful of established names as smaller tokens collapsed.
For $SHIB, the holder growth story is a positive signal, though one that needs to be weighed carefully. Wallet count is one metric among many, and the token still faces headwinds including a massive circulating supply and a price well below its all-time high. For now, slow and steady appears to be the pace.

@Ripple's $RLUSD stablecoin has posted a strong 2026 so far, capping a sustained run of growth with a new all-time high in circulating supply on May 20. Supply crossed $1.88 billion at its peak before pulling back modestly to around $1.77 billion, where it appears to be holding.
A Year of Steady Expansion
Circulating supply expanded from around $1.33 billion at the end of 2025 to successive new highs through 2026, even after a $128 million burn at the end of Q1 trimmed the float to $1.247 billion on March 31. The rebuild from that low to a fresh record took less than four weeks. The latest milestone on May 20 pushed the supply beyond $1.88 billion, surpassing earlier April peaks and marking the highest level since the token's launch.
$RLUSD is fully backed 1:1 by cash and U.S. Treasuries held in segregated accounts at BNY Mellon, with monthly third-party attestations and oversight from the New York Department of Financial Services and the Dubai Financial Services Authority. That compliance-first structure has been central to its growth story.
Institutional Demand Driving Growth
Much of the 2026 expansion has been driven by TradFi onboarding. On January 12, Ripple confirmed $RLUSD is being used as a settlement asset for BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), via Ripple's September 2025 partnership with tokenization platform Securitize. Investors in BUIDL can now swap tokenized treasury fund shares directly for $RLUSD on-chain, around the clock.
The product was framed from day one as a compliance-first stablecoin built for cross-border payments, remittances, and enterprise settlement through Ripple Payments rather than DeFi yield farming. The stablecoin has also benefited from improving U.S. regulatory sentiment toward crypto infrastructure in 2026, with recent developments surrounding stablecoin legislation and fintech banking access strengthening confidence in compliant issuers.
$RLUSD holds roughly 0.4% to 0.5% of the global stablecoin market, which stood at about $315 billion in early 2026, with Tether's USDT commanding around 58% share and Circle's USDC near 23%. Ripple's pitch is regulated rails for institutions, not a liquidity arms race. For now, the supply data suggests that pitch is landing.

On-chain data shared by Lookonchain shows the US government has moved more than $5 million in altcoins seized from Alameda Research roughly three years ago. The transfers were split into two batches: $4.55 million sent to @Coinbase Prime in the first move, followed by a further $805,000 shortly after.
Which Tokens Were Moved?
The tokens transferred include $DAI, $RNDR, $UNI, $SAND, $MASK, $AXS, and $APE. On-chain tracking flagged the batch covering Render, Uniswap, The Sandbox, Mask Network, and Axie Infinity, with most of the dollar value concentrated in $RNDR and $UNI. The transfer is larger than an earlier move flagged by Arkham Intelligence on May 27, which covered a $1.89 million subset of these same tokens.
The assets trace back to seizure proceedings in January 2023, when the Department of Justice pursued civil forfeiture proceedings against three Alameda accounts at Binance and Binance.US. The case later led to more than $11 billion in court-ordered forfeitures.
Sale Signal or Routine Custody Move?
Coinbase Prime is the exchange's institutional arm, used by hedge funds, asset managers, and government agencies for custody and structured sales. Past US government transfers there have preceded both custody changes and outright liquidations.
The DOJ's Asset Forfeiture Program tends to liquidate non-core altcoins ahead of Bitcoin, treating BTC as a longer-hold reserve and moving it in larger, structured batches. By contrast, wallets linked to the US government hold $27 billion in digital assets across 610 addresses as of early May 2026, with 328,361 BTC worth about $26.6 billion accounting for the bulk of that total.
In general, this kind of transfer is considered operational rather than inherently bearish. Deposits to Coinbase Prime do not always indicate immediate selling activity, as the platform is commonly used for custody and institutional liquidation procedures. Still, the size of this particular transfer is notably larger than recent government moves, and market participants will be watching closely for any follow-through.
In the wake of the earlier tranche flagged on May 27, Render fell about 9.5% over 24 hours to $1.99, while The Sandbox dropped 4.47% to $0.06682. Mask Network declined 4.45% to $0.4231 and Axie Infinity slid 6.05% to $1.09.

On May 28, @Algorand's average transaction fee fell to just $0.00015, its lowest point this month according to on-chain analytics platform @chainspect_app. The reading puts $ALGO among the cheapest networks to use in the industry and reinforces a cost-efficiency story that the project has long leaned on.
A Fee Structure Built for Accessibility
Algorand's approach to fees has always been straightforward. According to the Algorand Developer Portal, the network applies a uniform fee structure across all transaction types, whether payments, asset transfers, or application calls, with costs determined by transaction size rather than smart contract complexity. There is no equivalent of Ethereum's gas fee mechanism. When the network is not congested, fees default to their minimum level, which is what drove the May 28 reading so low.
That predictability matters for everyday users. The official developer documentation notes that fees on Algorand amount to "fractions of a penny in most cases," making the network accessible for smaller participants who would otherwise be priced out on higher-cost chains. The $0.00015 average recorded by @chainspect_app is consistent with that design and marks a meaningful data point for anyone evaluating $ALGO against competing layer-1 networks.
Quantum Resistance Adds a Second Layer to the Narrative
Low fees alone are a familiar talking point in crypto. What makes the @AlgoFoundation's positioning more distinctive heading into 2026 is the convergence of cost efficiency with quantum-resistant security. Algorand's post-quantum page confirms the network has deployed FALCON, a NIST-selected lattice-based signature scheme, in production.
That implementation has drawn notable external validation. In March 2026, Google Quantum AI published a whitepaper citing Algorand as a real-world example of post-quantum cryptography deployment on an otherwise quantum-vulnerable blockchain. A month later, Coinbase's Quantum Advisory Council echoed that view, identifying $ALGO as one of the front-runners in preparing for quantum computing risks, alongside Aptos. Both papers arrived at a time when regulatory pressure around quantum readiness is rising, with U.S. mandates targeting full quantum resistance by 2035.
Taken together, a fee structure that sits at monthly lows and a security architecture that major institutions are beginning to reference publicly gives Algorand a two-pronged narrative that is increasingly difficult to ignore.

@StellarOrg's $XLM token is up over 80% on the week at the time of writing, nearly doubling in seven days while most of the crypto market has moved in the opposite direction. The token is also up roughly 23% in the past 24 hours alone and now carries a market cap of around $8.65 billion. So what exactly is driving it?
The DTCC Partnership
The answer, in large part, comes down to one announcement. On May 27, 2026, the DTCC and the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) outlined plans to enable tokenization of assets held in DTCC's subsidiary, The Depository Trust Company (DTC), on the Stellar network. DTCC processes and safeguards over $100 trillion of assets annually.
The initiative forms part of DTCC's broader multi-chain approach to bridging traditional finance with distributed ledger technology, with highly liquid assets including stocks from the Russell 1000 index, major ETFs, and US Treasuries set to debut on the Stellar platform during the first half of 2027.
While Bitcoin and the broader crypto market slid more than 3% over the past 24 hours on fresh geopolitical jitters, Stellar Lumens ripped in the opposite direction, posting one of the strongest single-day moves among large-cap tokens. Trading volume surged over 1,100%, crossing $1.25 billion.
Context and Caveats
The move has solid fundamental backing. Data shows Stellar holds over $1.82 billion in distributed asset value on its platform, with existing partnerships including Amundi, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and Janus Henderson. In March 2026, both the SEC and CFTC designated Stellar as a digital commodity, meaning institutions responsible for safeguarding assets now view $XLM as eligible for custodial services.
Still, perspective is warranted. The DTCC integration is a plan targeting 2027, not live volume today, and it sits within a broader multi-chain strategy that also includes rivals. The risk for Stellar is that investors may start selling the DTCC news since its implementation is still some way off. RSI readings have entered strongly bullish territory, approaching overbought levels, which suggests strong momentum but also raises the possibility of a near-term pullback or consolidation.
For now, $XLM is the standout trade of the week. Whether the rally has legs will depend on whether the market treats the DTCC deal as a lasting re-rating or a short-term catalyst to fade.

CFTC Chair Backs Trump's Vision for US Crypto Leadership
The United States is taking steps toward a formal national crypto strategy, with Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair @MichaelSelig describing @realDonaldTrump as "The Crypto President" in a recent interview. Selig outlined the administration's ambition to develop a national crypto roadmap and characterised the Trump team as a "pro-crypto army" committed to cementing America's position at the top of the global digital asset industry.
Selig was sworn in as the 16th Chairman of the CFTC after being nominated by President Trump on October 27, 2025 and confirmed by the US Senate on December 18, 2025. Before taking the CFTC role, he served as chief counsel of the SEC's Crypto Task Force and senior advisor to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, where he helped develop a regulatory framework for digital asset securities markets and worked to harmonise the SEC and CFTC regulatory regimes.
Project Crypto and a Unified Regulatory Push
Selig's comments align with concrete regulatory action already underway. The SEC and CFTC have re-launched Project Crypto as a joint policy initiative to better prepare US markets for the digital asset era. The initiative is designed to ensure the United States is ready to reinforce its global financial leadership when Congress acts, including creating clear regulatory on-ramps for compliant participants and modernising surveillance tools to reflect on-chain market activity.
Thanks to Trump's leadership, Congress is now on the cusp of enacting historic digital asset market structure legislation that would provide long-overdue regulatory clarity to an American industry that embodies the promise of the future. The GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets, have been received well by investors in the sector.
In April 2026, Selig appeared at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas alongside SEC Chair Paul Atkins, with two agency heads historically at odds over crypto jurisdiction standing shoulder to shoulder at the largest Bitcoin conference in the world. In four months as CFTC chairman, he co-signed a historic memorandum of understanding with the SEC, helped architect a joint token taxonomy classifying 16 crypto assets as digital commodities, and launched the CFTC's "Future-Proof" initiative to rewrite rules so they work for Bitcoin and modern digital markets.
The administration's push signals a significant shift in Washington's approach to crypto, moving away from enforcement-led oversight toward a structured, co-ordinated regulatory framework designed to keep digital asset innovation on American soil.

@0xPolygon CEO @0xMarcB a ieșit public săptămâna aceasta cu o plângere directă despre experiența echipei sale de a colabora cu blockchain-ul de plăți Tempo, susținut de Stripe, spunând că procesul de integrare a stagnat timp de aproape o lună din cauza unei singure cereri de pull necombinată.
Scriind pe rețelele sociale, Boiron a spus că a "așteptat aproape o lună pentru ca echipa @tempo să combine o cerere de PR astfel încât să putem integra Trails cu Tempo și să oferim utilizatorilor lor și clienților noștri o experiență mai bună între lanțuri." De asemenea, a spus că a încercat să contacteze direct membrii echipei de bază Tempo, fără succes, descriind aceste eforturi de contact ca fiind ignorate.

The @BNBChain ecosystem has quietly reached a significant milestone: 13 billion total transactions processed on the network, according to data shared by @chainspect_app. The figure underlines the chain's sustained activity even during a period when it has attracted less attention than some of its rivals.
A Network That Keeps Moving
The transaction count milestone is not an isolated data point. BNB Chain hit an all-time high of 31 million daily transactions on October 5, 2025, and throughout that year the network consistently operated at large scale, supporting sustained growth across trading activity, stablecoins, and real-world assets without downtime. A series of technical upgrades drove that growth. Key optimizations already implemented in 2025 cut block times to 0.45 seconds, reduced finality to 1.125 seconds, and lowered transaction fees by roughly 20 times.
The 2026 roadmap pushes further still. These efforts support the goal of exceeding 20,000 transactions per second in 2026.
Stablecoin Position Adds to the Picture
Alongside the transaction milestone, @BNBChain holds roughly $13.4 billion in stablecoin supply, with @tether's $USDT making up the dominant share. USDT accounts for roughly 60% of on-chain stablecoin supply on BNB Chain as of Q1 2026. That stablecoin base has grown considerably over the past year. According to data from Artemis, BNB Chain's stablecoin supply climbed to around $16.12 billion, a 73% increase from a year ago. DeFiLlama tracked a somewhat lower figure, logging $13.87 billion using its own methodology, with USDT making up roughly 66% of the chain's stablecoin base.
The stablecoin growth reflects BNB Chain's broader role as a liquidity hub. BNB Chain recently led stablecoin inflows, recording a significant $840 million increase in supply growth according to on-chain market data. The chain holds roughly $14 billion in stablecoin supply as of Q1 2026, placing it among the top four networks for dollar-pegged assets alongside Ethereum, Tron, and Solana.
Taken together, the 13 billion transaction count and the stablecoin position paint a picture of a network that has kept pace with the broader market without generating many headlines. Whether that changes as the 2026 technical roadmap rolls out remains to be seen.

@Aster_DEX has crossed $1.261 trillion in total perpetual futures trading volume since its launch, according to data from DefiLlama, cementing its place among the most active on-chain derivatives venues in the industry.
Rapid Rise in the Perp DEX Rankings
The milestone is a reflection of how quickly @Aster_DEX has scaled. In the last 30 days alone, $ASTER drove $48.3 billion in perps volume, a pace that has helped the platform establish itself as the second-largest perp DEX by cumulative volume. DefiLlama data covering January 1 to March 30, 2026 shows perpetual DEXs processed roughly $2.41 trillion in combined volume over that period, with Hyperliquid leading at $619.46 billion and Aster in second at $318.70 billion.
Aster is a next-generation decentralized exchange offering both perpetual and spot trading across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. It is powered by Aster Chain, a high-performance and privacy-focused L1, and backed by YZi Labs. YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, is run by Binance co-founders Changpeng Zhao and Yi He, and Zhao has promoted the project on X, helping to catapult it to prominence in the crypto market.
Can Aster Challenge @HyperliquidX?
The comparison with @HyperliquidX is the central question in the perp DEX space right now. Both platforms regularly sit inside a combined $13 billion-plus daily volume bracket, yet their design choices pull traders in opposite directions: Aster leans wide, flexible, and multi-chain, while Hyperliquid goes narrow, deep, and sovereign.
As of March 2026, Hyperliquid maintains a clear lead in open interest with an average of around $5.15 billion, while Aster recorded approximately $899.70 million over the same period. On total value locked, Hyperliquid held approximately $4.06 billion compared to Aster's $1.05 billion in March 2026. Open interest and TVL are widely seen as more reliable indicators of sustained platform health than raw volume alone.
The broader context is worth noting. Perp DEX volume jumped roughly eight-fold in two years, and DEX market share expanded from just 2.0% of total perps trading in January 2024 to 10.2% by January 2026. In that environment, Aster's ascent has been swift, though the gap in liquidity depth and open interest with Hyperliquid remains significant for now.

Lupta pentru randamentul stablecoin-urilor

Atkins susține proiectul, dar drumul rămâne lung
Președintele SEC, Paul Atkins (@SECPaulSAtkins), și-a exprimat sprijinul ferm pentru Legea Clarității Pieței Activelor Digitale din 2025, spunând unei audiențe că se așteaptă ca Congresul să livrez legea la Casa Albă. "Am încredere că Congresul va adopta Legea CLARITĂȚII și că Președintele va putea să o semneze," a spus Atkins, argumentând că statutele ar oferi agenției un fundament legal solid și ar menține inovația crypto în țară. Comentariile sale vin după ce Comitetul Bancar al Senatului a avansat proiectul de lege în mijlocul lunii mai, cel mai recent pas procedural într-un proces care a avansat lent de când Camera a acționat acum aproape un an.

@FWDind Forward Industries (Nasdaq: FWDI), cel mai mare deținător corporativ de $SOL, urmează să se alăture indicilor Russell 2000 și Russell 3000 când reconstituirea semestrială a FTSE Russell va intra în vigoare pe 29 iunie 2026. Această includere urmează unei liste preliminare de adăugiri postate pe 22 mai 2026. Mutarea plasează expunerea pe acțiuni legate de Solana în fața fondurilor pasive și a managerilor instituționali care compară aproximativ $12.2 trilione în active cu indicii Russell US.
O avalanșă de firme de trezorerie crypto intră în benchmark-uri

@CantonNetwork a ocupat prima poziție în clasamentul veniturilor blockchain de la @DefiLlama, raportând comisioane de 2,03 milioane de dolari în ultimele 24 de ore și depășind toate lanțurile publice majore. Tron a venit pe locul doi cu 1,08 milioane de dolari, iar Base, Ethereum și Solana sunt și mai în urmă.
Conducerea se menține și pe o perioadă mai lungă. Pe parcursul a 30 de zile, Canton a rămas în frunte cu aproximativ 63 până la 65 de milioane de dolari în venituri, comparativ cu cele 31,7 milioane de dolari ale lui Tron, un margine care indică o activitate susținută mai degrabă decât un vârf de o zi.

Raportul recent al firmei de cercetare @MessariCrypto despre Starea Ledger-ului XRP pentru T1 2026 oferă cifre concrete în spatele poveștii instituționale-DeFi a XRPL, arătând o creștere generalizată în activele din lumea reală, oferta de stablecoin-uri și activitatea on-chain.
Baza RWA urcă la 2,25 miliarde de dolari
Activele din lumea reală pe ledger au sărit cu 124% de la un trimestru la altul, ajungând la 2,25 miliarde de dolari, încheind T1 ca a șaptea cea mai mare bază RWA dintre orice rețea blockchain. De atunci, clasamentul s-a îmbunătățit și mai mult, urcând pe locul patru. Traiectoria marchează o accelerare bruscă față de cele 281,2 milioane de dolari înregistrate la sfârșitul T4 2024, când XRPL a încheiat acel trimestru cu un plafon de piață RWA distribuit în creștere cu 37,2% față de cele 204,9 milioane de dolari din trimestrul anterior. Creșterea reflectă un avans mai larg în emiterea de active tokenizate pe ledger, determinat de creșterea emisiunii de active precum fondul de trezorerie tokenizat OUSG de la Ondo, hârtia comercială digitală de la Guggenheim și imobiliarele tokenizate.

Piața ETF-ului spot pentru Bitcoin a pierdut mai mult de 4 miliarde de dolari în ieșiri nete de la 7 mai, conform firmei de analitică Santiment (@SantimentFeed), marcând una dintre cele mai grele și susținute perioade de răscumpărare din ultimele luni. Cei mai mulți analiști ar trata asta ca un semnal bearish. Santiment interpretează altfel.
O abordare contrariană asupra datelor de ieșire
Santiment spune că aceste ieșiri ar trebui interpretate ca un semnal contrar, nu ca un avertisment.
