According to "on-chain detective" ZachXBT's post on platform X reviewing the previously disclosed suspected market manipulation incident involving RAVE, he stated that the RAVE token dropped from $26 to $1 in the past 24 hours. After calling for Binance, Bitget, and Gate to investigate the abnormal trading, the relevant platforms have gradually responded publicly.ZachXBT pointed out that RAVE was launched in December 2025, with an initial total supply of 1 billion tokens, of which about 95% is controlled by a few addresses, posing a high concentration risk. He discovered that some wallet addresses related to the RaveDAO team showed suspicious centralized exchange activity in April, which may contradict the team's claim of "not participating in price fluctuations." In addition to RAVE, several other tokens such as SIREN, MYX, and COAI have also recently exhibited similar suspicious trends.ZachXBT stated that he recognizes the significant losses this behavior causes to retail traders but still plans to investigate similar fluctuations in hopes of identifying the responsible parties. He also reiterated that he does not hold any RAVE positions; if he did, he would also be liquidated, and he cannot predict whether or when the exchanges will publicly comment.

At the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" themed forum held in Hong Kong, Gongye Feng, co-founder and CEO of Monera Digital, delivered a keynote speech titled "AI Empowered Private Banking for the Smart Economy."Feng pointed out that what disappeared after 2022 was not the demand for digital assets, but the market's confidence in the ways capital could enter. Monera Digital positions itself as an AI private bank for the smart economy, with the core not being to use AI as traders, but to act as an accelerator, compressing the research, testing, and iteration cycles from months to days.He emphasized that risk control must be institutionalized rather than personalized. Monera has built four lines of defense: source constraints on exposure and collateral, automated clearing and margin management, complete segregation of client assets, and eliminating maturity mismatches while maintaining liquidity buffers. Additionally, AI plays the role of a 24/7 digital CRO, achieving a leap from passive monitoring to proactive warning.In terms of service model, Monera does not operate as a pure technology platform, but insists on "anti-AI illusion," where AI is responsible for optimization and efficiency, while trust, responsibility, and continuity of relationships are still borne by humans. Feng believes that the prerequisite for crypto assets to truly become configurable assets is to translate complexity into clear, continuous, and trustworthy private banking services.

Famous trader Killa (@KillaXBT) posted that there is a CME exhaustion gap around $84,000 for Bitcoin, just before the waterfall decline.

Killa believes that the current Bitcoin trend is highly similar to the 2022 pattern, suggesting that the $84,000 gap is unlikely to be filled in the short term, so the local top may be closer than most people expect to the $80,000 target.He reminds traders that the current market's expectation of chasing highs may face downward pressure rather than a quick rebound.
