🚨 Could a nation-state disrupt the XRP Ledger?
Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz says state actors could potentially cause temporary disruptions to XRPL, but he’s skeptical about any lasting damage. ⚡
According to Schwartz, blockchain networks can adapt, upgrade, and evolve to defend against emerging threats over time. 🔒
As XRPL expands into tokenization and institutional finance, security remains a key focus for the ecosystem. 👀

Market reaction to the latest Strait of Hormuz headlines:
BTC is back above $74K.
HYPE printed a new ATH.
But the headline is not fully confirmed yet. Fars News, Iran’s state-linked news agency, says informed sources have rejected Trump’s latest claims about a possible deal with Iran.
So for now, the market is reacting to the de-escalation narrative — but confirmation remains mixed.

📉 INSIGHT: Bitcoin’s expected 30-day volatility has fallen to a nine-month low as trading activity declines and investor interest shifts elsewhere.

🇺🇸 JUST IN: President Donald Trump says he will not allow other countries to replace the U.S. as the Bitcoin and crypto “capital of the world.”
“It is a major industry, and we must protect it.”

Pavel Durov says Telegram has “never disclosed a single byte” of private messages to third parties while still facing multiple charges in France.

Twitter experts are calling for a BTC drop.
According to the latest confident takes, Bitcoin could fall to $48,000 as soon as next week.
The market is getting nervous again - and when everyone suddenly becomes a macro analyst on the timeline, volatility usually follows.

Every time a new Fed Chair steps in, markets usually go through a rough period first. Uncertainty tends to hit before confidence does.
We’ve seen it happen across multiple cycles, volatility increases, liquidity tightens, sentiment turns bearish, and markets start pricing in fear before the new policy direction is even fully understood.
And honestly, this time doesn’t feel much different.
A lot of people are reacting to headlines, but I think the bigger issue is the second order effects: inflation pressure, geopolitical tensions like the US-Iran situation, tighter cash conditions, lower risk a

Crypto Knights:
Everything points lower. 🔽
Yesterday, Donald was warming up the markets right before another escalation around Iran.
Now the media is pushing the story about Trump potentially skipping his son’s wedding, with speculation that he may use that time to give the order for a strike on Iran. The long weekend in the US only adds to the tension - Memorial Day is on May 25.
This is Donny Dump’s favorite move: create panic during a long weekend, give markets time to digest it, and let investors come back to their screens after the damage is done.

🇺🇸 The US has inaugurated a new Fed Chair.
Trump attended Kevin Warsh’s swearing-in ceremony and made several key statements:
He said he expects Warsh to go down in history as a great Federal Reserve Chair.
He also said Warsh will lead the Fed starting today and that he wants him to be fully independent - sure, but preferably with rate cuts on demand.
Trump added that the US plans to grow its way out of debt, while Warsh will restore the Fed’s integrity, push reforms, and modernize the regulator.
We will stop inflation, but we will not stop America’s greatness.
Meanwhile, markets are now pri

The secret behind the $100 million HYPE short is out.
Turns out the whale is not simply shorting the token. The position is being used as a hedge against his 2.1 million HYPE spot bag, worth around $127 million.
After HYPE printed a new ATH, he started partially unloading the position: around 557K HYPE, worth roughly $33 million, has already been moved to Hyperliquid for sale.
He still holds about 1.67 million HYPE, worth around $105 million.
So this no longer looks like a reckless short. It looks more like a careful large-player hedge and exit strategy.

🇺🇸 The latest FOMC minutes just turned more hawkish.
Fed officials signaled that:
• Rate hikes could return if inflation stays elevated
• Interest rates may remain high longer than expected
• The ongoing Iran conflict is adding pressure through rising energy prices
📊 Markets now see lower odds of rate cuts in 2026 as the Fed stays cautious on inflation.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin remained stable near the $77K range despite the macro uncertainty.

❗️ Trump has temporarily postponed the planned strike on Iran.
