According to CoinDesk, CoinShares data shows that last week, cryptocurrency funds saw a net inflow of $858 million, marking the fifth consecutive week of inflows and the largest single-week inflow since the end of April. Among them, Bitcoin funds attracted over $700 million in a single week, with a total inflow of $4.9 billion this year, indicating that institutional investors' demand for the cryptocurrency market continues to rise. Market analysts believe that expectations related to the Clarity Act have improved institutional sentiment.Currently, the BTC price remains above $80,000, and the market is focused on whether it can effectively break through the 200-day moving average located around $82,000. Marex analysts pointed out that if Bitcoin closes above $82,000 on a daily basis, accompanied by stable spot buying, it may initiate a new round of upward momentum.In terms of altcoins, SUI rose 12% in 24 hours to $1.26. Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder of Mysten Labs, revealed that Sui plans to launch a confidential transaction feature this year to support fee-free privacy payments.In addition, Nasdaq-listed Sui Group Holdings (SUIG) previously announced that it has staked most of its SUI reserves, equivalent to a reduction of about 2.7% of the market circulation supply.

According to Fortune, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared his views at the Sequoia Capital AI Summit, noting significant generational differences in how users of different ages utilize ChatGPT. He stated that older users tend to use ChatGPT as a substitute for Google Search, while those in their twenties and thirties use it as a life advisor, and college students use it as a deeply integrated daily operating system.In the U.S., over one-third of young people aged 18 to 24 frequently use ChatGPT, leveraging its conversational memory feature for emotional advice, workplace negotiations, medical consultations, and even major life decisions. Sequoia Capital made its first investment in OpenAI in 2021, when the company was valued at $140 billion; after significant private equity financing, its current valuation has reached $852 billion.

a16z Crypto stated on platform X that the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) has grown tenfold in two years, now exceeding $30 billion, with nearly half being U.S. Treasury bonds. This growth reflects the increasing demand from institutions to tokenize traditional financial instruments such as government bonds, commodities, stocks, and private credit.Although U.S. Treasury bonds currently dominate, this asset class is expanding, with more categories gaining significant shares in recent quarters.

According to crypto analyst Amr Taha, the Bitcoin reserves of Binance, OKX, and Gemini have significantly decreased since February, with a total outflow of nearly 100,000 BTC, worth over $8 billion, bringing reserves to their lowest level since 2023. Among them, Binance's reserves dropped from about 670,000 on February 21 to about 620,000 on May 7, OKX fell from about 132,000 on March 2 to about 102,000, and Gemini decreased from about 114,800 in early February to 95,000.At the same time, OTC balances continue to tighten, with the 30-day OTC balance change dropping to -24,940 BTC. On the demand side, the holdings of accumulator addresses increased by 60.5% within two weeks, reaching 264,000 BTC on May 6. Binance's seven-day net buying volume also shifted from about -$1 billion (seller-dominated) at the end of March to +$2.63 billion (buyer-dominated) on Thursday. Analysts point out that simultaneous outflows across multiple platforms are more indicative than those from a single platform, and the reduction in exchange inventories may amplify price reactions when strong spot demand returns.

According to monitoring by HyperInsight, as ETH fell below $2,300, the long positions held by Huang Licheng's address turned from profit to loss, with a total unrealized loss exceeding $930,000, including: · Long 18,000 ETH (approximately $41,100,000), unrealized loss of $1,060,000, liquidation price: $2,247.59; · Long 250 BTC (approximately $19,930,000), unrealized profit of $130,000, liquidation price: $77,168.1.

NEAR Protocol stated on platform X that the team is adding post-quantum cryptography support for the network. NEAR's account model is different from Bitcoin and Ethereum; accounts are decoupled from cryptography and controlled through rotatable access keys.The NEAR One team is adding the NIST-approved lattice-based signature FIPS-204 scheme as the first post-quantum signature option. Once launched, any NEAR account holder can rotate keys through a single transaction, achieving quantum safety. NEAR is also collaborating with software and hardware wallets to advance post-quantum support.Through the chain signature feature, NEAR can provide threshold signatures for over 35 chains. The NEAR Intents team is developing a quantum-safe cross-chain signature solution. If other chains progress slowly in adopting post-quantum cryptography, NEAR can offer a quantum-safe environment. Aspects such as consensus mechanisms, validators, block synchronization, and transaction signatures also need to evolve for the post-quantum era, with the goal of achieving a one-time future-compatible migration.

Both the first and second addresses directly purchased during the downward trend of sato through the sato bonding curve, with the market cap of sato once dropping below $3 million before breaking through to $40 million.

According to CoinDesk, Johan Kerbrat, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Crypto at Robinhood, stated at the Consensus Miami conference that overseas investors' demand for U.S. stocks (especially those related to AI) is growing, but access channels remain limited in many regions.Kerbrat pointed out that features such as tokenization, 24/7 trading, and instant settlement will enable investors to build global portfolios rather than being limited to a single-country strategy. Robinhood has launched tokenized stock products in Europe and plans to expand access to asset classes traditionally limited to accredited investors, such as private equity. Kerbrat emphasized that the goal is to provide investors with the option to participate in investments before new assets go public.

According to official news, Coinbase has announced the official launch of self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs) support in Australia, providing compliant and secure digital asset investment solutions for Australian trustees to help diversify retirement portfolios.This service is based on the Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) recently obtained by Coinbase and local expertise.

SMSFs have become one of the few retirement structures globally that allow individuals to directly manage digital assets, providing this flexibility.Coinbase's SMSF solution offers a streamlined real-time verification process, audit reports compliant with local accounting standards, and institutional-level security, helping Australian investors incorporate cryptocurrency into long-term retirement strategies.

Concerns about quantum computing in Bitcoin always revolve around a "Satoshi-related problem." If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer emerges, millions of Bitcoins stored in old wallets with exposed public keys may face the risk of being stolen, including approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins that are allegedly owned by the anonymous creator Satoshi, currently valued at about $84 billion.Senior developer Jameson Lopp and five other developers formally proposed this plan through BIP-361 in mid-April, which aims to gradually phase out addresses vulnerable to quantum attacks over a five-year timeline and freeze any coins that fail to complete the migration. However, this proposal creates another issue: Satoshi and all other long-dormant holders would have to publicly "reveal themselves," or risk losing access to their assets.Dan Robinson, a general partner at Paradigm, released a proposal on Friday that suggests a way to circumvent this trade-off, with the core concept being "Provable Address Control Time Stamps" (PACTs). The main idea of PACTs is not to move coins, but to timestamp ownership proofs on specific dates, without disclosing any information externally until the wallet owner truly needs to spend.If Bitcoin later implements a soft fork to freeze coins vulnerable to quantum attacks, the protocol could include a rescue path that accepts STARK proofs (a type of zero-knowledge proof that remains secure against quantum computers), proving that the holder created their commitment before the existence of quantum hardware. When the holder wishes to spend, they submit this proof, and the network releases the corresponding coins. This redemption process will not reveal any information about the address, amount, or even the original timestamp creation time.

Curve Finance officially announced that it is introducing a bad debt recovery mechanism based on on-chain market mechanisms, allowing CRV-affected users in certain lending markets with bad debts to choose different recovery strategies: directly selling their claims to exit, continuing to hold and wait for potential recovery, or providing liquidity to earn fees and incentives. The core of this mechanism is to establish a trading pool between crvUSD and the tokens of the affected claims, allowing bad debt claims to be priced in the market and creating liquidity, thereby providing users with an immediate exit channel instead of relying solely on the final liquidation results.It is reported that after the cryptocurrency market crash in October last year, some lending markets under Curve Finance experienced bad debt issues, with various liquidity pools being impacted by severe price fluctuations and liquidity contraction, leading to some deposit users facing withdrawal restrictions and asset losses.Curve stated that the recovery mechanism will not eliminate losses or guarantee recovery, but will gradually reflect risks and recovery expectations through a market-oriented approach. Additionally, if the governance layer distributes rewards through the veCRV incentive mechanism, it will help enhance liquidity depth, improve exit conditions, and strengthen market pricing efficiency.

The blockchain infrastructure company Paxos, regulated by multiple countries, announced that its Crypto Brokerage platform officially supports BONK.

This move marks BONK's transition from a community-based meme coin to mainstream financial channels. Currently, over 500 million users worldwide can purchase BONK through major retail trading platforms and exchanges, relying on the same compliant regulatory platform trusted by institutions like PayPal, Mastercard, and Venmo.

According to independent analyst Markus Thielen's chart analysis, Bitcoin weakened for five consecutive months after reaching an all-time high in October 2025, only recording positive returns in March 2026.April has not yet concluded, but the monthly increase is expected to become the strongest single-month performance since April 2025, and Bitcoin may see a second consecutive month of gains. Analysts point out that the two-month rebound has released certain repair signals, combined with historically positive seasonal patterns from May to July, Bitcoin may still receive some support in the future, but a single-month rebound is still insufficient to confirm a trend reversal.

Bitcoin fell below $76,000 after failing to break through $80,000, with uncertainties surrounding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the macroeconomic situation unsettling the market.Meanwhile, technical indicators and on-chain data provide mixed signals regarding whether BTC can sustain this round of rebound. Bitcoin recorded a 30% recovery after hitting a low below $60,000 on February 6, but it stalled under selling pressure in the supply zone between $78,000 and $80,000. This range also coincides with the current 20-week exponential moving average (EMA), reinforcing the significance of this resistance level.Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Capital, stated that the current pullback is "typical behavior" ahead of the FOMC meeting. He added, "I believe we are still in a phase of strong market conditions." On the support side, Bitcoin has tested the support level at $75,500, which also serves as the lower boundary of the 20-day EMA, 100-day EMA, and an upward channel.Glassnode's UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) data shows that direct resistance is around $78,000, where investors hold 335,650 BTC; the average purchase price of about 298,560 BTC is $75,500, forming a key support level.On the on-chain front, Glassnode data indicates that the Bitcoin market exhibits "a coexistence of bullish momentum and cautious sentiment." The spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) rose from $18.3 million to $54.8 million, with an increase of nearly 200% over the past week, reflecting strong bullish sentiment among market participants. However, spot trading volume decreased by 13.8% from $6.95 billion a week ago to $5.99 billion, "indicating a reduction in market activity." During the same period, the number of daily active addresses fell by 1.6%, showing a more subdued network participation.

According to The Block, Visa has partnered with WeFi, a "on-chain bank" company founded by former Tether CEO Reeve Collins, allowing users to hold digital assets through self-custody wallets while directly spending within the global Visa acceptance network, without the need to custody assets in centralized exchanges.Maksym Sakharov, co-founder and CEO of WeFi, stated that stablecoins are directly embedded in the underlying infrastructure, with settlements automatically completed in the background, providing a user experience similar to regular payments. This collaboration will initially roll out in certain markets in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, with further expansion depending on regulatory approval progress.
