🌕 CZ-owned Trust Wallet launches AI agents that can execute crypto trades

The digital wallet owned by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, which has more than 220 million customers, said Thursday that users can now employ artificial intelligence-powered agents to perform a variety of crypto transactions.

"Today, Trust Wallet launches the Trust Wallet Agent Kit (TWAK) — infrastructure that lets AI agents execute real crypto transactions, across more than 25 blockchains, within rules that users define and control," the company said in a blog post. The agents can handle cross-chain swaps across several networks, including Solana and Bitcoin, in addition to managing recurring buys.

Crypto firms are increasingly experimenting with AI-powered automation, aiming to allow users to enlist agents that can actively manage portfolios and execute trades.

The new toolkit offers two ways to operate, one where the AI agent has its own wallet and can execute trades automatically based on set rules, and the other where it suggests transactions that users then need to approve.

"Trust Wallet has always been built on a single principle: your keys, your crypto. TWAK extends that principle into the age of AI agents," also according to the blog post. "With WalletConnect mode, an AI can help you act on your portfolio — research, propose, execute — without ever holding your keys. You stay in control."

While the cryptocurrency exchange initially bought Trust Wallet in 2018, it now operates as an independent company.

🫠 1 Bitcoin fee

Someone wanted to transfer 1 BTC to the Kraken exchange, but ended up with 0.0001 BTC ($10) because the fee was 0.99 BTC ($105k).

Consider that you locked in a profit, just not the way you wanted 😁

💥 Hyperliquid ($HYPE ) Out: Multi-Day Uptrend Broken

Hyperliquid had been maintaining a clear 62-day uptrend, characterized by a respectable ascending trendline and a consistent series of higher lows.

Now that structure is broken, and the manner in which it broke is more important than the actual fact. Instead of drifting gradually, the price made a decisive move to break the trendline. That's not just consolidation; it's a change in power.

🔸 Uptrend is in serious danger

The market instantly shifted into a weaker posture after the uptrend, which was serving as dynamic support, failed. As you can see, the most recent bounce printed a lower high than the most recent peak, which was in the mid-$40s, and was unable to recover previous highs.

That change is beginning to show up in the moving averages. Instead of clearly bouncing off short-term averages, prices are slipping back toward them as they flatten. The end of expansion and the beginning of either distribution or a corrective phase typically coincide with that transition.

🔸 Momentum is rapidly descending

If momentum continues to wane, there is potential for a deeper retracement, because the 200-day baseline is still well below. A continuation is also not supported by volume. Participation in the push higher earlier in the trend was comparatively steady, but more recent movements indicate less follow-through.

Panic volume did not accompany the breakdown, indicating that this is a loss of demand rather than a capitulation event. Slow declines, rather than abrupt reversals, are more common in that type of environment.

The market is currently undergoing a structural shift from neutral to bearish. The bullish framework that underpinned the rally is eliminated when the trendline is invalidated.

The most likely course of events from here is either a gradual shift toward lower support zones in the high-$30s, and possibly mid-$30s, or sideways consolidation with a downward bias.

📊 Dogecoin Enters European Institutional Finance as 21Shares Launches Physically Backed ETP on Xetra

Swiss crypto investment firm 21Shares has listed a physically backed Dogecoin exchange-traded product (ETP) on Xetra, Germany's premier electronic trading platform. The listing marks a significant expansion of institutional access to DOGE within regulated European markets.

Xetra, operated by Deutsche Börse, is one of the largest and most liquid ETF trading platforms in Europe. It serves as a primary venue for banks, asset managers, and institutional investors. The addition of a DOGE-linked product on this exchange signals growing demand for regulated crypto exposure among professional investors.

🔸 A Physically Backed Product, Not a Synthetic One

The structure of this ETP sets it apart from similar products in the market. It is physically backed, meaning 21Shares holds actual Dogecoin in custody rather than relying on derivatives or swaps to replicate price performance. This approach offers investors more transparent and direct price tracking.

For institutions operating under strict regulatory frameworks, this distinction carries real weight. Synthetic products introduce counterparty risk. A physically backed structure does not carry that same layer of complexity, even if the underlying asset remains highly volatile.

Investors gain DOGE price exposure through a standard brokerage account. There is no need for a crypto wallet, private keys, or direct on-chain interaction. The product trades like any other listed security, lowering the technical barrier for institutional participation.

🔴 Chiliz Expands Fan Tokens to Solana, Base To Target Larger User Base

Chiliz has expanded Fan Token to Solana and Base ecosystem as it moves from a single-chain setup to a broader, multi-chain model. This change aims to increase access, improve liquidity, and connect sports-based crypto assets with a wider user base.

The Chiliz Chain will remain the core layer for the expansion. It will continue to handle smart contracts, governance votes, and core asset logic. At the same time, Solana and Base will serve as distribution layers. These networks are expected to help crypto reach more users and integrate with existing crypto platforms.

🔸 Chiliz Expands Fan Tokens to Solana, Base

According to the official blog, this change is supported by the Omnichain Fungible Token standard from LayerZero. The framework allows crypto to move across chains and also keeping a single, unified supply. When a token is transferred, it is removed from the original chain and recreated on the new one. This checks duplication and keeps pricing consistent across markets.

The approach also reduces reliance on wrapped assets. Wrapped tokens usually represent a locked version of an asset held elsewhere. This model can create risks and split liquidity across different pools. Chiliz’s system avoids that by maintaining a direct link between tokens across all supported networks.

Security remains a key part of the design. The integration uses a multi-layer verification system. Several independent validators must approve transactions before they are completed to reduce the risk of a single point of failure, which has affected several cross-chain systems in the past.

People will thus be able to access Fan Tokens without going to a separate blockchain. This reduces friction and increases participation in the ecosystem.

The update also introduces a direct link between Fan Token activity and the CHZ token. Chiliz has announced a buyback mechanism tied to ecosystem revenue.

🟣 Solana Price Prediction: $88 Resistance Caps Rally As Breakout Decision Nears

Solana is trading inside a tightening range as short term charts show pressure building near key resistance. SOL needs a clean move above the $87 to $88 area to confirm upside momentum, while a drop below $83 could shift focus back to lower support.

🔸 Solana Triangle Setup Points to Possible 10% Move as Price Nears Apex

Solana is moving inside a tightening triangle on the 1 hour chart, with price compressed between lower highs and higher lows.

The chart shared by Ali Charts shows SOL trading near $85.82 after a pullback from the upper trendline. The pattern has narrowed through late April, which means volatility has been shrinking as price moves closer to the triangle apex.

A breakout above the upper trendline near the $87 area would support the bullish case. In that setup, SOL could target the $89 to $92 range, based on the chart’s visible resistance zone and Ali’s 10% move estimate.

However, a drop below the lower trendline would weaken the setup. That could put the $85 and $84 areas back in focus, with deeper support near $82 if sellers take control.

For now, the chart shows compression rather than a confirmed direction. SOL needs a clean breakout from the triangle before the next short term move becomes clearer.

🔸 Solana Stalls Below Resistance as Consolidation Tightens

Solana is trading in a narrow range below resistance after a strong mid April push, with momentum slowing on the 4 hour Binance chart.

The chart shows SOL recovering from the early April low near $78 before climbing toward the $90.95 area. That move marked the local high, but price has since failed to extend the breakout.

SOL is now consolidating between the lower reversal zone near $83 and the resistance area near $87 to $88. The chart shows several attempts to move higher, but buyers have not pushed price back above the previous high.

🐧 Pudgy Penguins rally coincides with token unlock as analyst flags exit liquidity risk

Pudgy Penguins’ recent rally may be a breakout driven by ecosystem momentum. This move appears to have benefited long-term holders in unexpected ways, according to on-chain data.

According to DNTV Research founder Bradley Park, the surge may have provided liquidity, that is, enough buyers in the market, for large holders to sell following a mid-April token unlock.

"The news around the Pengu Card, PenguBot, and other ecosystem updates are secondary narratives at best," Park told CoinDesk. "The real story is the large token unlock that happened roughly 10 days ago."

Token unlocks are scheduled releases of coin supply, similar in spirit to post-IPO lockup expirations that periodically flood equity markets with newly available shares.

Park points to the token unlock on April 17, when roughly 703 million PENGU — about 0.79% of the total supply of roughly 88 billion — hit the market in a single tranche.

The on-chain activity in the hours that followed, paired with a sharp jump in futures positioning, tracks the pattern seen at prior unlocks, where large holders use a window of rising liquidity to sell into strength.

The primary unlock wallet received 182.8 million PENGU and, within roughly 50 minutes, dispersed them across 19 separate addresses.

Park calls the sequence a "vesting-claim-and-disperse" pattern, the kind of choreography more commonly associated with preparing to sell than with settling in for the long hold.

The mechanics aren't complicated: tokens come out of the vesting contract and get split across multiple wallets, which lets the eventual sale move in pieces small enough that no single transaction tips the market against the seller.

The futures market moved alongside it. Open interest in PENGU rose from about $36 million to $59 million during the rally, with repeated short squeezes amplifying upward momentum.

📣 Zcash (ZEC) Price Soars 5% to $360 Amid Bullish Sentiment

On Friday, Zcash (ZEC), one of the leading privacy coins, witnessed a spike of 5% on constant buying pressure, helping the cryptocurrency to soar above $360 in the last 24 hours.

The surge in Zcash ZEC 5.17% is part of a larger recovery for the asset, as in the 30 days, Zcash has gained more than 55%.

At the time of writing this, Zcash is currently trading at around $362 with a market capitalization of around $6.03 billion on a daily chart, according to CoinMarketCap. The daily trading volume has shot up by 21%, soaring above $622.08 million. This makes it among the top 20 most valuable digital assets in the world.

🔸 Security Patch and Quantum Computing Fears Spark the Rally in Zcash (ZEC)

A main reason behind this recent price surge is the release of a major security patch in the zcashd version 6.12.0 software. This update has fixed a long-standing weak point in the legacy Sprout shielded pool.

According to experts, this weakness could have allowed bad actors to take money out of the system. By fixing this issue privately before any attack could happen, the development team has greatly increased investor confidence. They have also reduced the looming risk of cyber attacks on the protocol.

A recent research paper from major technology groups about the future of quantum computing has triggered a shift of capital into assets with advanced cryptography.

Investors are increasingly seeing the zero-knowledge proof architecture of Zcash as a structurally better model. They are comparing it to the standard elliptic curve schemes used by older blockchains.

🔸 Zcash Price Gives Bullish Sign After Soaring Above MA

According to the current price chart on TradingView, Zcash is now showing a classic bullish reversal pattern. This comes after breaking out from a long-term descending channel. This price recently claimed its 200-day moving average at $344. This is a major in the ZRC's price chart.

🦊 184 Billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) Added Amid Weekend Market Trading Spree

With over 184 billion SHIB flowing into exchanges during a brief spike in market participation, Shiba Inu is witnessing a notable increase in exchange-related activity.

🔸 Is pressure rising?

Rarely does this type of movement occur in isolation, and the underlying metrics indicate that volatility in the larger cryptocurrency market may be about to increase. Exchange inflow totals have clearly increased, according to CryptoQuant data, and the 7-day average of inflows has also risen. This suggests increasing sell-side pressure, or at the very least, preparation for it.

Large token movements onto exchanges usually indicate an intention to either liquidate, hedge, or engage in active trading during anticipated price movements. Concurrently, there has been a slight increase in exchange reserves, which supports the notion that the market is getting instant access to more supply. Net flow is still positive, indicating that inflows are exceeding outflows.

🔸 Shiba Inu is back in growth

Following a protracted downward trend, SHIB is creating a modest ascending channel on the price chart. Although the higher timeframe moving averages, especially the 100 and 200 EMA, are declining, this is still a positive development. This restricts upside momentum unless there is substantial volume supporting a breakout.

The combination of increasing inflows and comparatively steady price action is noteworthy. That usually precedes growth. That kind of liquidity is not quietly absorbed by markets forever; eventually it resolves through volatility, either as a breakout or a sharp rejection.

The rise in large transaction inflows is another important indicator. This suggests that bigger players are actively positioning themselves. Their presence alone tends to amplify price swings, but whether they are distributing or getting ready for a move depends on follow-through.

💧Lido’s $3M First-Loss Buffer Faces Its First Real Test After Kelp Security Breach

A security incident at Kelp, a liquid restaking protocol, has sent ripple effects through decentralised finance, catching one of Lido Finance’s yield vaults in the crossfire. Lido has paused deposits and withdrawals on its EarnETH vault while it works through two separate but connected problems: direct exposure to a compromised asset and a liquidity squeeze spreading across lending markets.

🔸 The Exposure

Of Lido’s EarnETH vault, roughly 9% of total assets are tied to rsETH, the token at the centre of the Kelp incident. That is not a majority stake, but it is enough to trigger a pause while curators work out exactly how much, if any, has been lost.

The Arbitrum Security Council has already recovered around $70 million in ETH connected to the attack. Further recovery efforts are ongoing, but the final accounting on losses has not yet been settled.

🔸 A Second Problem: The Lending Crunch

Beyond the rsETH exposure, EarnETH is also dealing with a separate headache. Elevated borrowing rates across lending markets have put pressure on looping strategies inside the vault that have nothing to do with Kelp. Vault curators have been actively deleveraging those positions, and Lido says fast action has already achieved a significant reduction in outstanding wETH debt. A fuller update on progress is expected shortly.

🔸 The Safety Net Gets Tested

If losses are confirmed when the dust settles, Lido has a mechanism ready. The Lido DAO treasury holds a $3 million first-loss position inside the EarnETH vault, put there specifically for situations like this one. Under the protection mechanism, the DAO’s vault shares would be burned to absorb losses before ordinary depositors feel the pain, effectively using treasury funds as a buffer.
