Washington’s week from hell for stablecoins and the Fed. Summary Over the past 12 hours, crypto X has behaved less like a meme factory and more like a Bloomberg terminal, with feeds dominated by U.S. regulatory brinkmanship, institutional Bitcoin bets and rising macro anxiety around the next Fed Chair. Traders and analysts are fixated on three overlapping storylines: Kevin Warsh’s looming Senate confirmation as a pro‑Bitcoin Fed Chair, knife‑edge votes on stablecoin yield and the Clarity Act, and MicroStrategy’s refusal to stop buying BTC even as technicians warn of 30% drawdowns. In the background, Australia’s plan to scrap its 50%…

Market maker giant Jane Street is again drawing intense attention in crypto markets, with experts claiming the firm’s “next target” may now be Ethereum (ETH).  The speculation comes after reports that Jane Street made several major adjustments to its positions during the week, following months of scrutiny tied to alleged trading manipulation connected to Bitcoin (BTC). From Bitcoin Retreat To Ethereum Expansion Jane Street, one of Wall Street’s most active proprietary trading firms, reportedly reduced multiple Bitcoin-linked holdings in the first quarter (Q1) of the year, while meaningfully increasing its exposure to assets tied to Ethereum. Jane Street’s position in…

ChainCatcher 消息，据 The Block 报道，摩根大通分析师表示，尽管伊朗冲突后加密市场整体复苏，但以太坊和山寨币持续跑输 Bitcoin。分析师认为，除非网络活动、DeFi 和现实世界应用出现实质性改善，否则这一自 2023 年开始的趋势不太可能改变。分析师指出，现货 Bitcoin ETF 已收复约三分之二的此前流出资金，而现货以太坊 ETF 仅收复约三分之一。CME 期货持仓显示，机构重建 Bitcoin 敞口的力度强于以太坊，Bitcoin 期货持仓已几乎完全恢复，而以太坊期货持仓仍低于此前水平。分析师还质疑即将到来的以太坊升级能否有效提升网络活动。他们表示，过去三年的升级主要降低了 Layer 2 交易成本，导致以太坊网络费用下降、代币销毁机制减弱、净供应增长加快，从而削弱了 ETH 的价格支撑。对于山寨币，分析师指出流动性差、市场深度不足、DeFi 活动增长有限以及屡次黑客事件侵蚀了信心，阻碍了新资本配置。

Developers behind the Tezos ecosystem launched a testnet prototype for private blockchain payments designed to resist future quantum computing attacks, as concerns grow that advances in quantum technology could eventually compromise existing blockchain privacy systems.The prototype, called TzEL, uses post-quantum cryptography and zk-STARK proofs to shield transaction data and encrypted payment metadata that could otherwise be vulnerable to “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where encrypted blockchain data collected today is decrypted in the future, according to Tezos. The prototype also uses Tezos’ Data Availability Layer to handle the larger proof sizes associated with post-quantum cryptography, which developers say has been…

Ethereum’s price action has been closely tied to macro liquidity conditions and institutional risk appetite. Summary Ethereum is trading near elevated levels as macro sentiment and equities strength support risk assets. Analysts are watching whether ETH can follow Bitcoin’s move above $80,000 with a sustained breakout. Institutional flows, ETF demand, and DeFi activity remain key drivers for Ethereum’s next move. Ethereum (ETH) is currently positioned at a critical juncture as broader crypto markets attempt to sustain bullish momentum alongside improving equity market sentiment. After Bitcoin recently reclaimed the $80,000 level, traders are increasingly asking whether ETH can deliver a similar…

An early Ethereum investor who spent approximately $120 during the 2015 ETH presale has resurfaced after more than a decade of dormancy, moving 400 ETH — worth roughly $900,000 at current prices — in a transaction flagged by on-chain intelligence platform Arkham on May 14, 2026. The Ethereum Trade Of A Lifetime According to Arkham’s post on X, the wallet sent 50 ETH to a new address and deposited 350 ETH directly to Bitstamp, one of the world’s oldest regulated cryptocurrency exchanges — a move consistent with a partial or full liquidation of a position held untouched for over ten…
