Bitcoin's growing divergence from tech stocks raises concerns as AI spending surges, says Quinn Thompson.
Thompson's broader concern extends beyond crypto and believes a wave of blockbuster IPOs (SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI) could absorb trillions of dollars in investor capital, creating a liquidity drain.
One of the clearest signs for Thompson is the Magnificent Seven's underperformance relative to the broader Nasdaq. Historically, healthy bull markets are characterized by leaders leading. Today, however, many of the index's gains are being driven by semiconductor and AI supply chain names rather than the hyperscalers that sparked the initial rally.
The challenge for those hyperscalers is growing, Thompson says. Massive AI-related capital expenditure commitments pressure free cash flow, increasing debt levels, and reducing share buybacks.
Yet cutting spending could undermine the semiconductor and AI infrastructure trade that has supported the broader technology complex.
Thompson concludes that rising IPO supply is set to compete for capital and investor attention, while He sees a difficult path forward for both AI leaders and the wider market.

Net assets of U.S.-listed spot ETFs have fallen to levels last seen just after Trump won the election in early November 2024.
This is not to say the ETFs didn't grow in the 19-month period. Hopes that Trump would deliver on his campaign promise of friendlier crypto regulation helped push bitcoin higher, along with ETF assets. Total net assets crossed $90 billion within a week of this election win and went on to hit a record high of $169.54 billion in October 2025.
But since then, these post-election gains have been erased even though the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under the Trump administration, dropped several high-profile enforcement actions. The U.S. has established a strategic bitcoin reserve and, further, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which seeks to establish jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC and give the industry the legal heft, is advancing in Washington.
In other words, the regulatory environment has never been more favorable, yet investors' response has been to leave, pulling the net assets lower.
These ETFs have registered a net outflow of over $5 billion in four weeks. Cumulative net inflows since inception, which peaked at $62.77 billion in October 2025 when bitcoin was at its all-time high, have since declined by nearly $9 billion to $53.77 billion, the lowest since August last year.
ETF outflows reflected short-term pressure as inflation drives the Fed hawkish, while on-chain supply tightening remains intact," Binance Research said in a report shared with CoinDesk.
Market analyst and former co-founder of 21Shares, Ophelia Snyder, said AI and other trending corners of the financial market are draining capital from crypto.
You have ETF outflows as investors are increasingly distracted by other narratives competing for attention and capital, whether that's AI, SpaceX, or other high-profile growth stories. You have ongoing market jitters around geopolitics, the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. jobs data, inflation, and broader macroeconomic uncertainty," she said in an email.

The relief rally that lifted crypto off last week's lows is unwinding alongside tech stocks and gold, with traders bracing for a US inflation print and a Warsh Fed that may stay hawkish.
Ether (ETH) fell 3.4% to $1,625, and solana (SOL) dropped 4.1% to $64.24, according to CoinDesk data. XRP (XRP) lost 4.3% to
each slid less than 3%. Hyperliquid's HYPE was the worst of the majors again, down 10.2% on the day and 21.3% on the week to $55.52, the highest-beta name in the group as risk came off.
Gold and bitcoin rarely fall in lockstep, as both are stores of value that pay no yield, so both lose their appeal when traders bet on higher rates, and that is what Wednesday's U.S. inflation report could force.
South Korea's Kospi, the market most exposed to the artificial-intelligence trade through its chipmakers, tumbled 6.3%, leading a 2.5% drop in MSCI's broad Asia-Pacific equity gauge and its fourth loss in five days. Nasdaq 100 futures pointed 0.8% lower after a volatile Wall Street session. Brent crude traded near $92 a barrel as renewed U.S. strikes on Iran kept a bid under oil, and the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.54%.
A hot reading would harden the case for new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh to keep rates higher for longer, draining liquidity from the assets that ran hardest on cheap money.
The bounce that ran into Monday was a short squeeze, not fresh buying, as over $500 million in bearish bets were liquidated, the highest such figure since April.
Buyers have stepped in after the move lower, but spot demand has yet to return in a meaningful way," said Diana Pires, chief business officer at sFOX, pointing to a run of U.S. spot bitcoin ETF outflows that has kept institutional money cautious. When new demand isn't broad enough to cover the selling, she said, rallies struggle to hold.
Watch whether bitcoin can hold a bid through the inflation print or keeps trading tick-for-tick with the Nasdaq. If gold steadies and bitcoin keeps falling, the case for it as a macro hedge thins further.

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 on Tuesday, its most capable public model running on Mythos, as it pursues a fall listing it has already filed for confidentially alongside OpenAI, which filed Monday, and SpaceX.
Mythos is Anthropic’s most advanced tier of artificial intelligence models, and Fable is the first publicly released version of this powerful underlying architecture but it comes with strict built-in safety filters.
Bitcoin has spent the past week trading as the high-beta arm of the Nasdaq, sliding with chipmakers and Asian tech as the AI trade unwound. An Anthropic listing, after its $65 billion round at a $965 billion valuation, would hand index funds and retail traders a single AI-lab stock to pile into. Crypto already moves with the AI trade, and giving that trade its own ticker only tightens its grip.
AI-linked tokens caught a modest bid on Fable's launch while bitcoin barely moved, because model releases are narrative for the sector's small caps while the majors now trade on what the AI trade does to risk appetite, not on the models themselves.

The compromised laptop held enough multisig keys to take over the project's bridges on two chains, a basic security failure for a startup backed by Pantera and Jump Crypto.
Those bridges ran through multisignature wallets, which require a number of separate keys to approve any change. A multisignature wallet is supposed to spread keys across different people and devices so that no single machine can move funds.
In this case, all the keys were stored on a single device, meaning a compromise allowed the exploier to cross the approval threshold on both chains, Humanity said.
The attacker obtained three of the six keys controlling the bridge's admin account on Ethereum, enough to seize controls linked to the project's deployment on the network.
The attacker then transferred ownership to their own wallet, swapped the bridge's code for a malicious version and drained about 141 million H in one transaction.
In a Telegram message to CoinDesk, Humanity founder Terence Kwok said the team had set up a multisig wallet across four individuals (as it should have).
Humanity suspects that "some of the keys were accidentally backed up to a compromised device during setup," Kwok said. "We use a licensed custodian for the majority of token treasury, mpc for operations treasury, and for certain contracts multisig keys were set up in one place and then dispersed.
The attacker executed similar steps on BNB Chain with three of five keys. This time, installing code with an unlimited mint function, which allowed the creation of tokens at will, and minted about 200 million new H straight to their wallet.
Humanity has since removed the team page from its website. The project said it has halted deposits and withdrawals on the affected bridges and is working with exchanges and the police to recover funds.
ZachXBT, a prominent onchain investigator, said the key compromise and a separate round of suspicious market-making in the token were not connected.
He also raised questions about how the token traded in the weeks before the breach, ahead of a large scheduled token unlock, as H token prices shot up from 20 cents to 70 cents within two weeks.
The token has clawed back some of the lost ground. After falling as low as about 5 cents during the attack, it recovered to around 20 cents, according to CoinGecko data. It remains well below the roughly pre-breach level of 67 cents.

The Nasdaq tumbled more than 3% at one point on Tuesday, helping to drag bitcoin (BTC) nearly all the way back to $60,000. An afternoon rally, however, narrowed the Nasdaq's decline to just 1%, and bitcoin bounced alongside, trading at $62,000 just after the market close.
Bounce or not, crypto-related stocks were clobbered across the board, with Coinbase (COIN) decining 4.1% and Strategy (MSTR) 8%. A notable outperformer was Galaxy Digital (GLXY), rising 7.1% as investors reassess the company's valuation in light of its rapid data center expansion.
Higher by more than 1% at the open, the Nasdaq has turned decidedly lower just ahead of the noon hour on the East Coast, now down 1.9% and below its close on Friday.
The drop can't be blamed on Middle East tensions as crude oil is at a session low, down 4% to $87.58 per barrel. Gold and silver are also taking part in the quick dive, each dropping more than 2% over roughly the past hour.
With the AI trade leading losses, bitcoin miners turned AI infrastructure players are all sharply lower. Hut 8 (HUT) is down 6.3%, MARA Holdings (MARA) 4.9%, and IREN (IREN) 8%.
If you look at bitcoin vs other assets, from a valuation perspective, it's cheap," says Jim Ferraioli, Schwab's director of crypto research (h/t Eric Balchunas).
Speaking at the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals conference, Ferraioli, said investors waiting for a specific catalyst, such as the passage of the Clarity Act, may find it too late.
There is a fundamental mismatch between the growth of money in the economy and the amount of bitcoin available to buy," said Ferraioli. "So what we look for when you want to be long crypto is when you expect an expansion of money and liquidity. The U.S. debt is larger than the US economy, and there’s historically one way govts get out of that situation: monetary inflation."
Crypto prices have returned to familiar territory on Tuesday, headed lower as risk markets across the globe are in rally mode.
Trading at $62,500, bitcoin (BTC) is down 1% over the past 24 hours and lower by nearly 3% from Monday's high.
Shortly before the U.S. market open, Nasdaq 100 futures are higher by 0.9%, tacking on to yesterday's 1.5% gain. WTI crude oil is down 2.15% to $89.34 per barrel as investors continue to price in what might be the end of the Iran conflict.
Possibly dragging on bitcoin on Tuesday was a $36 million exploit of the Humanity Protocol and its H token. Bitcoin maxis, however, might say the opposite — that the Humanity attack (and numerous other incidents against other chains in recent weeks) shows why "there is no second best."
There isn't much expected in the way of macro news on Tuesday, but May U.S. inflation data is on tap for the U.S. on Wednesday. With interest rate traders now convinced the next Fed move will be a rate hike, a downside surprise could make things interesting.

In other words, anything below $80,000 would be seen as a corrective bounce within the broader bear market that began last year. Only a move beyond that would signal the beginning of a new advance.
Technically, a recovery up to $68K could be viewed as a rebound from the downward momentum seen between 11 May and 5 June," said Alex Kuptsikevich, the chief analyst at FxPro, hinting at a lower price level to beat for the bulls.
A rally even to these levels hinges on ETF flows and macro factors. The 11 spot bitcoin ETFs listed in the U.S. have processed redemptions over $5 billion in the past four weeks. On Monday, investors yanked another $91 million, according to data source SoSoValue.
These outflows need to meaningfully reverse for the bitcoin price to gain upward momentum. In addition, Wednesday's U.S. inflation data may have to come in softer than expected, easing concerns the Fed will raise interest rates. The data is expected to show the cost of living topped 4% in May, well above the Fed's 2% goal.
The constructive path is conditional: inflation softens, Treasury yields stabilize, AI equities stop de-risking, BTC/ETH ETF outflows slow, and the market reclaims the key technical levels. Until then, the conclusion is deliberately simple: below the reclaim, there is no regime shift," Hex Trust said. Stay alert!

Circle unveiled cirBTC, a token backed 1:1 by the world's largest cryptocurrency, to allow traders to use their bitcoin wealth in DeFi protocols.
Synthetic, or wrapped, bitcoin tokens exist to address the historical lack of provision for DeFi activities on the Bitcoin network. Many cryptocurrency users prefer to hold only bitcoin because it is worth more than every other crypto combined. But using it for DeFi is challenging because that Bitcoin lacks the native programmability of networks like Ethereum.
The first token to cross the divide, wrapped bitcoin (wBTC), was introduced in 2019 and remains the largest, with a market cap of around $7.3 billion. Coinbase's (COIN) cbBTC, which appeared in 2024, sits at just under $5.4 billion.
Circle is pitching cirBTC to institutions that may focus their crypto allocation on BTC and are familiar with the company and trust its infrastructure due to its visibility in the stablecoin market. Circle's USDC is the second-largest stablecoin on the market with a cap of over $75 billion.
The introduction of cirBTC could see Circle going head to head with Coinbase and wBTC's primary custodian, BitGo Holdings (BTGO), for dominance of the institutional synthetic BTC market.
The market cap of all synthetic bitcoin tokens combined hovers between $12.5 billion and $13.5 billion, representing about 1% of bitcoin's total value of around $1.25 trillion.

Unlike most crypto, Hyperliquid actually generates cash flow and has a token buyback mechanism, says Citrini Research
Hyperliquid is a blockchain-based exchange that allows users to trade perpetual futures of crypto and other assets, such as commodities and private stocks. Its associated token, HYPE, has been one of the biggest outperformers this year, even as the rest of the digital asset sector was caught in a freefall.
The platform has generated $1.06 billion in annualized fees and about $220 billion in 30-day perp volume, according to DeFiLama data
Over 90% of the fees generated by the platform are redirected into the Assistance Fund [token buyback vehicle], which are then systematically used to purchase HYPE on the open market," the Citrini Report said.
The structure in itself is attractive, but what's more astonishing is the pure scale of the Fund. Since its launch in January 2025, cumulative purchases have surpassed $2 billion," the report added, noting that the buyback accounted for nearly half of all token-buyback activbities across crypto sector last year.
Hyperliquid has emerged as the dominant player in decentralized perpetual futures trading, accounting for the majority of on-chain derivatives volume. HYPE’s investment thesis is increasingly tied to the underlying business performance of the exchange, however, some analysts have argued that the buyback model relies heavily on sustained trading activity and could come under pressure if derivatives volumes decline. Nevertheless, the company’s ability to generate substantial revenue sets it apart from much of the crypto sector where many token valuations are simply a result of speculation.
Beyond the company’s business model, its dominance in global markets has helped fuel a broader push into perpetual futures - which have historically been banned for American traders due to regulatory constraints - in the U.S
The Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) last month opened the door for certain crypto perpetual futures products to be offered under U.S. oversight. The move has triggered a race among exchanges, including Kraken and Coinbase (COIN), seeking to capture demand for a market that accounts for the majority of global crypto trading activity. While Coinbase has already expanded its perp offerings in the U.S., Kraken is likely launching its product later this month.

Arca is blaming Strategy's sale of 32 BTC for last week's BTC crash, not AI capital rotation, as Strategy's Saylor claimed.
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market value fell nearly 14% to $60,000 last week. The sell-off happened after Strategy on June 1 disclosed that it sold 32 BTC in the preceding week. Strategy still holds 845,256 BTC worth billions of dollars.
Saylor attributed the sharp slide to AI infrastructure spending absorbing capital at historic scale.
The AI buildout is absorbing capital at a historic scale, creating temporary pressure across global markets. That does not weaken Bitcoin. It strengthens the case for scarce, liquid, digital capital. Bitcoin remains the premier asset for the long term," Saylor said.
Dorman's argument is straightforward. What crashed the market waqs not the amount of BTC sold, which was just 32, worth roughly $2.5 million, but the realization of what that sale implied: that Strategy may need to sell significantly more bitcoin to meet the cash dividend obligations on its preferred shares, including STRC.
In Arca's view, Saylor has made a series of missteps over the past three weeks. He used his only cash to pay off zero-coupon debt, then rattled markets by teasing a $2.5 million bitcoin sale, which is barely enough to cover one month's preferred dividends. Strategy currently has roughly five months of cash flow remaining, Dorman noted, leaving the market to wonder what comes next
Dorman says there is one scenario that could stabilize things quickly. If Saylor announces via 8-K filing that Strategy has raised $2 to $4 billion by selling MSTR stock and bitcoin, enough to cover preferred dividends through September 2028, Dorman believes markets would rally sharply. That buffer would remove the forced-seller overhang and give bitcoin room to breathe.
By week's end though, BTC's selloff became too intense and most assets joined the downtrend.

USDT's dominance rate has flashed a golden crossover in a sign of caution for the broader crypto market.
USDT's dominance rate, which measures its share of the total crypto market cap, is sporting a golden crossover, a technical signal that indicates the dollar-pegged token's allocation may increase in the weeks ahead.
At $186.84 billion, the Tether-issued token trails only bitcoin and ether (ETH) in market cap. It is designed to trade 1:1 against the U.S. dollar and is widely seen as a dollar-equivalent asset, a sort-of tokenized version of the greenback.
That's a negative signal for bitcoin because it implies crypto market participants are shifting their funds into a token whose value doesn't fluctuate against the dollar, rather than piling into riskier investments.
Its dominance rate tends to rise when the price of bitcoin falls, reflecting capital rotation out of more speculative investments into dollar equivalents, a classic risk-off move, much like in traditional finance.
Last week offered a clear glimpse of that dynamic. USDT's dominance rate surged 13.5% to 9%, the biggest single-day jump since March 2025, as the bitcoin price fell almost 14%, briefly dipping below $60,000.
The golden cross, in which the 50-week moving average overtakes the 200-week average, suggests this rotation may not be over because it's a sign that momentum in USDT's share of market cap is becoming more bullish.
In other words, risk aversion across the broader crypto market could deepen, driving continued capital flows into USDT
It is worth noting that the capital sitting in the stablecoin may not simply be waiting for the right moment to re-enter the market. Investors may convert their holdings to fiat and leave the crypto market altogether.
That appears to be what happened last week. While USDT's dominance rose sharply, its market cap fell for a third consecutive week. That combination suggests a meaningful portion of the capital did not stay there. More likely, it left the crypto market entirely.
The golden cross arrives alongside bitcoin's worst weekly performance in months, persistent outflows from spot U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and growing competition from AI stocks for institutional capital.
Until USDT's dominance starts reversing, signaling capital rotating back into risk assets, the path of least resistance for bitcoin and the broader market may remain to the downside.

The decentralized identity project said attackers compromised the keys of a foundation member and are dumping the stolen H tokens for ether.
The thief has been selling the stolen H for ether and minted another 100 million H, worth roughly $11 million, on the BNB Chain, blockchain data shows, pointing to more selling pressure ahead.
Humanity confirmed the breach, with founder Terence Kwok saying attackers had compromised the private keys, the secret codes that control crypto wallets, of a member of the Humanity Foundation.
The project urged users to stop touching its bridge, the tool that moves tokens between blockchains, and its liquidity pools until the issue is contained, and said it was working with security firms and exchange partners.
Humanity Protocol is a decentralized identity project that uses palm-scan biometrics and zero-knowledge cryptography to let people prove they are human without revealing personal data, positioning itself as a rival to Sam Altman's Worldcoin.
The hack fits the dominant pattern of 2026, in which the biggest losses have come from stolen keys rather than flawed code. Solana exchange Drift lost about $285 million in April after attackers seized an administrative key, and Kelp DAO lost roughly $292 million the same month through a single-validator bridge.
H last traded around $0.13, down about 82% on the day, with the theft still in progress.

Alpenglow upgrade update, Ripple on North Korea hacking threat, Cloudflare on AI agents and web economics
Ripple is now sharing its internal threat intelligence on North Korean hackers with the crypto industry, the company said, in a move that reframes how the sector is responding to a shift in DPRK attack methodology. The Drift hack was not a hack in the way most people think of one. Nobody found a bug or exploited a smart contract. North Korean operatives spent months befriending Drift's contributors, slipped malware onto their machines, and walked off with the keys. By the time the $285 million moved, every system that was supposed to catch a hack had nothing to flag. That is the version of events Ripple and Crypto ISAC, the crypto industry's threat-sharing group, laid out Monday alongside news that Ripple is now sharing its internal data on North Korean threat actors with the rest of the sector. The 2022-24 wave of more DeFi hacks was centred on exploiting code, with attackers finding smart contract vulnerabilities and draining protocols in minutes. But as security gets tighter, the modus operandi shifts from technology to people. Rogue operatives apply for jobs at crypto firms, pass background checks, show up on Zoom calls and build trust for months. Then they deploy attacks that no traditional security tool was built to catch, because the attacker is already inside. Ripple is now feeding Crypto ISAC the kind of profile data that makes that pattern legible across companies.
For decades, the web ran on a simple bargain: Publishers and businesses made information freely accessible, search engines and other crawlers indexed it, and those services sent human traffic back. Sites could then monetize that traffic through ads, subscriptions or commerce. But that's all changing fast, Cloudflare Chief Strategy Officer Stephanie Cohen said at CoinDesk’s Consensus conference in Miami. With the rise of AI agents, software can scrape a webpage, summarize content and keep the source user inside a chatbot or automated workflow instead of sending a person back to the original site. Cohen said that shift is breaking the internet’s old business model, with non-human traffic now exceeding human engagement. Cloudflare’s proposed answer is to give websites more control over automated traffic: identify the bots, verify who they are, understand what they intend to do and decide whether to allow, block or charge them. Cohen pointed to x402, an open payments protocol built around the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code, as one piece of that stack

The upgrade, known as Alpenglow, is live on a community test cluster, said Solana core developer Anza.
Alpenglow is live on the community test cluster,” Anza wrote on X. “The biggest consensus change in Solana’s history, now running on validator infrastructure ahead of mainnet.”
Today, Solana relies on Proof-of-History, a cryptographic clock that timestamps transactions, alongside TowerBFT, a voting mechanism validators use to agree on the state of the blockchain. While the design has helped Solana achieve high throughput and low fees, some have pointed to outages and network instability during periods of heavy demand.
Alpenglow proposes replacing major portions of that system with a redesigned framework centered around new components. In simple terms, the new model aims to let validators communicate and confirm blocks faster and more efficiently, potentially cutting transaction finality from several seconds to near real-time speeds.
The start of the community test cluster also suggests that validator software can successfully perform what developers are informally calling “Alpenswitch,” transitioning validator nodes from Solana’s existing process to Alpenglow in a live network environment.
The test milestone comes just days after Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said at Consensus Miami 2026 that Alpenglow could reach mainnet as soon as next quarter if testing continues smoothly.

Ronin, the gaming-centric blockchain once synonymous with the industry’s infamous $625 million exploit in 2022, is officially shedding its sidechain skin on May 12 to become an Ethereum layer 2 to improve security while maintaining throughput. Ronin, which announced the migration in April, will execute a hard fork at block 55,577,490, a process that will result in about 10 hours of downtime for users, the network said Monday on X. According to onchain data, the migration is expected to begin on Tuesday around 15:16 UTC. “Four years ago, we launched Ronin because Axie Infinity needed a faster and more efficient network,” Ronin said when announcing the migration. “It worked. Axie Infinity onboarded millions of gamers to crypto, and Pixels proved that it was possible to do it again.” The time has come to plug "back into the mothership." While operating as an independent sidechain in mid-May 2022, Ronin suffered what is still today the largest DeFI bridge exploit in history. Layer 2 protocols benefit from tighter links to the underlying blockchain than sidechains, offering benefits that include greater security. — Olivier Acuna Read more.
The Ethereum Foundation and a group of major crypto wallet developers are rolling out a new security standard designed to stop users from accidentally signing away their funds, a problem that has fueled some of the industry’s biggest hacks and scams. The initiative, called “Clear Signing,” aims to replace the confusing walls of code users currently see when approving Ethereum transactions with simple, human-readable explanations of what they’re actually agreeing to. The effort comes after years of phishing attacks and wallet drains that often boil down to the same issue: users unknowingly approving malicious transactions they don’t understand. The Ethereum Foundation pointed to incidents like the Bybit hack as examples of how attackers exploit “blind signing,” where users approve transactions filled with unreadable technical data. Right now, signing a crypto transaction can feel like clicking “accept” on a terms-of-service page written in another language. Wallets often display long strings of code that only highly technical users can decipher, leaving everyday traders vulnerable to fake apps, malicious links and compromised websites.
Charles Schwab, the brokerage giant that manages around $12 trillion in client assets, began the rollout of its spot cryptocurrency trading service for retail customers in the U.S. An initial group of clients can now trade bitcoin and ether (ETH) on the Schwab Crypto platform, the company posted on X.In July last year, CEO Rick Wurster said the company planned to introduce crypto trading in the near future, with a timeframe of first-half 2026 confirmed last month.

JPMorgan (JPM) is preparing to launch a tokenized money market fund, the latest sign that major financial institutions and Wall Street asset managers are speeding up efforts to move traditional assets onto blockchain rails. A filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission SEC) outlined plans for a blockchain-based money-market fund investing exclusively in short-term U.S. Treasuries, cash and overnight repo agreements backed by government securities. The fund, dubbed JPMorgan OnChain Liquidity-Token Money Market Fund (JLTXX), will maintain blockchain-based token balances tied to investors' ownership records, allowing approved users to submit purchase, redemption and transfer requests through Ethereum, the filing said. The underlying blockchain infrastructure will be operated by Kinexys Digital Assets, JPMorgan’s blockchain unit formerly known as OnyxThe Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on Tuesday, moving President Donald Trump’s pick one step closer to becoming the next chair of the U.S. central bank. Lawmakers approved Warsh in a 51-45 vote. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was the only Democrat to support the nomination. Warsh still must win a separate Senate vote to become Fed chair, which is expected Wednesday. Governors serve 14-year terms while the chair serves a four-year term. If confirmed as chair, Warsh, 56, will replace Jerome Powell, whose eight-year term leading the Fed ends Friday. Powell, however, has said he plans to remain on the board until a federal probe into renovations at the Fed’s headquarters concludes.#gonnarich #Robertkiyosaki #Write2Earrn #NOTCOİN

Wall Street and payment giants are quietly taking over Solana, moving billions onto the network for tokenized funds and global payments even as the broader crypto market cools down, according to a new report by Messari.
The research firm said Monday that Solana’s real-world asset market capitalization rose 43% quarter-over-quarter to $2.01 billion, led by growth in BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund BUIDL and new integrations tied to payments and tokenized finance.
BUIDL, developed by BlackRock and Securitize, grew to $525.4 million on Solana after Anchorage Digital added custody support for the fund. Anchorage held roughly 81% of the asset’s supply on the network by the end of the quarter, Messari said.
The report framed Solana as increasingly becoming infrastructure for tokenized finance rather than only a hub for speculative crypto trading.
Several traditional financial firms expanded activity tied to Solana during the quarter. Ondo Finance launched more than 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs on the network through Ondo Global Markets, while Franklin Templeton partnered with Ondo to bring tokenized ETF products onchain. Citigroup also completed a proof-of-concept for tokenized trade finance on Solana with PwC.
Messari said firms including Visa, Stripe, Worldpay, Western Union and PayPal either integrated Solana for stablecoin settlement or launched Solana-native payment products over the past year. The report said Solana’s low fees and near-instant settlement times have made it increasingly attractive for payment infrastructure.
Stablecoin market capitalization on Solana ended the quarter at $14.85 billion, ranking the network third among blockchains. Adjusted stablecoin transfer volume rose 13% quarter-over-quarter to $246.8 billion.
Despite falling crypto prices, Solana’s onchain activity remained resilient. Solana’s total application revenue, which Messari refers to as “Chain GDP,” held roughly flat at $342.2 million during the quarter.
Still, Messari argued the nature of activity on Solana is changing. The report pointed to rising adoption of high-speed trading infrastructure known as “Prop AMMs,” which it said are beginning to outperform centralized exchanges on execution quality and trading costs.
Messari also described Solana’s upcoming Alpenglow upgrade as one of the network’s most significant technical developments. The upgrade is expected to reduce transaction finality times from roughly 12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds. The firm said those performance gains could strengthen Solana’s position in payments, tokenized finance and AI-driven applications.

In an interview with CoinDesk, the lead engineer at Firedancer gives an update on how the new client, also known as a software, is fairing in the Solana ecosystem.
The rollout, however, is intentionally restrained. Patel said the team preferred to roll out progressively across the network rather than through a broad public launch, as the team remains cautious about rapidly increasing adoption.
We don’t want everybody to run it yet,” Patel said. “If half the network upgrades before we’ve done full security audits, that would be a bit much.”
Firedancer, developed by Jump Crypto, is a validator client for Solana, or another version of the software that runs the blockchain. The effort emerged partly in response to concerns around Solana’s earlier outages and its reliance on a single dominant client maintained by Solana infrastructure firm Anza.
Rather than framing Firedancer as a competitor to Anza, Patel described the relationship as collaborative.
The project has also become a key part of Solana’s broader effort to prepare the network for institutional-grade trading activity and real-world financial applications. Patel said Firedancer has helped shift Solana engineering from a reactive posture during periods of heavy congestion to one where developers can confidently scale new use cases.
I remember when there were memecoin and NFT launches, we were frantically watching all the performance dashboards,” Patel said. “But now it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, yet another big launch, it’s fine.’”
The team recently completed a public security audit competition with a $1 million bug bounty pool, a move Patel said gave Jump additional confidence in expanding the rollout.
While Firedancer’s rollout remains gradual, its quiet move onto mainnet marks one of the most consequential infrastructure upgrades in Solana’s history, and a major test of whether blockchain networks can achieve trading speeds closer to traditional financial markets.

The fallen crypto mogul serving a 25-year sentence filed a clemency petition, betting on Donald Trump's history of crypto pardons even though the president had told him not to count on one.
The former crypto executive, known by his initials SBF, was convicted in 2023 for orchestrating the fraud and conspiracy scheme that ultimately undid FTX, once one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
The company collapsed in November 2022 after CoinDesk reported on balance sheet concerns tied to affiliated trading firm Alameda Research, exposing an $8 billion hole in FTX's accounts and triggering a run on customer deposits.
Bankman-Fried confirmed his interest in clemency during a recent interview with FOX Business.
"I assume that you would want a pardon from the White House?" FOX Business correspondent Susan Li asked him by phone. "Absolutely," Bankman-Fried responded. "It would be obviously, you know, ultimately up to the president, not up to me."
He declined to say whether members of his family were lobbying the administration on his behalf. SBF’s parents, Stanford Law School professors Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, have previously reached out to individuals in Trump's orbit to explore a possible presidential pardon for their son. It's not clear whether any direct discussions with White House officials took place.
The pardon request follows months of public statements from Bankman-Fried that have aligned with Trump's positions. Writing through intermediaries using prison-approved communications, he has praised the president's decision to launch strikes against Iran, argued that Trump helped "save" the Securities and Exchange Commission by replacing former Chair Gary Gensler with Paul Atkins and highlighted lower gasoline prices during Trump's tenure.
He also appears to be following a playbook he wrote to try and ingratiate himself with Republicans after being seen as a Democratic mega-donor during the 2020 election. This playbook included items like appearing on Tucker Carlson's show, something he did last year.
The outreach has drawn attention because Trump has shown a willingness to pardon high-profile defendants, including several figures tied to the crypto industry. Since returning to office, Trump has pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, former Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao and the co-founders of BitMEX.
Still, Trump's support is far from assured. In a January interview with The New York Times, the president said Bankman-Fried should not count on receiving clemency, grouping him with several other high-profile defendants he did not intend to pardon.
For now, Bankman-Fried remains incarcerated while his appeal efforts and clemency petition move through separate channels.

CoinShares data shows investors are rotating into listed products based on XRP and SOL while bitcoin and ethereum products posted heavy weekly outflows.
Altcoins held up notably well,” CoinShares Head of Research James Butterfill wrote, pointing to inflows for TON, DOGE, and Chainlink listed products as well.
Investors are looking past Bitcoin and Ethereum for selective exposure," Butterfill continued.
The divergence comes as XRP has held up better than ether (ETH) during the recent selloff, down about 5.1% over the past week compared with ethereum’s 7.4% drop, while bitcoin has shed roughly $5,000 in days amid ETF outflows and aggressive selling pressure.
CoinDesk previously reported that bitcoin’s recent slide may be more than a routine pullback, with ETF outflow accelerating over the last two weeks as traders aggressively sold in both spot and futures markets.
Options markets are also flashing caution, with investors paying up for downside protection, a sign that some expect the selloff to deepen.
Prediction market traders appear to agree. On Polymarket, bettors now assign a 65% chance that bitcoin falls to $75,000 this month, compared with just an 11% chance of a rebound to $85,000, underscoring how quickly sentiment has shifted toward further downside.
