Amy Howe departed as FanDuel CEO on May 6 with $4.37M severance after five years leading the US sportsbook.

Christian Genetski assumed leadership; Dan Taylor was named President of Flutter Entertainment in a newly created role.

Flutter Q1 revenue up 17% to $4.3bn; FY 2026 EBITDA guidance lowered from $2.97bn to $2.87bn.
Per the press release, Howe will receive severance of $4,370,828 – equal to 24 months of her $1.03 million base salary plus bonus opportunity – alongside time pro-rated and fully vested equity awards and up to 12 months of company-paid health insurance.

According to an SEC 8-K filing, Flutter and Howe agreed to her departure on April 30, with the formal Separation Agreement signed May 5 and her employment terminating May 6. The agreement includes time pro-rated vesting of the “Value Creation Award” granted to Howe in October 2021 under its existing terms.
hristian Genetski, FanDuel President since 2015, will assume leadership of the US business in addition to his existing responsibilities for corporate strategy, business development, strategic partnerships, legal, regulatory, and government affairs.

Flutter also created a new group-level role, appointing Dan Taylor as President of Flutter Entertainment alongside his existing position as CEO of Flutter International. Taylor will oversee the FanDuel business in addition to the international portfolio that includes Paddy Power, Betfair, Sportsbet, PokerStars, and Sisal.

Q1 results suggest U.S. underperformance as the reason behind this restructuring. Flutter reported group revenue of $4.3 billion for Q1 2026, up 17% year-over-year, but U.S. revenue grew only 6% to $1.76 billion, with US sportsbook revenue up just 1%. CEO Peter Jackson said the decision to depart was not Howe’s, telling Reuters: “It’s no secret that FanDuel has underperformed, but looking forward, we

Bitcoin slips below $80,000: Why the 'Trump rally' is hitting a wall of profit-taking




Bitcoin slipped back below $80,000 on Wednesday after a brief breakout attempt, as onchain data suggested the rally was already running into profit-taking pressure.

CryptoQuant said bitcoin’s 37% rebound from April lows still looks more like a bear-market rally than a confirmed trend reversal, with realized profits hitting their highest level since December and short-term holders increasingly exiting at a gain.

Bitcoin’s rally has pushed traders back into profit, with holders cashing out at the fastest pace since December, as recent buyers increasingly sell into strength, they wrote.

But the rebound still looks more like a relief rally than a true bull-market breakout, since profits remain well below levels seen in past sustained uptrends while unrealized gains are already high enough to tempt more selling, according to CryptoQuant. Traders are also sitting on an 18% unrealized profit margin, the highest since June 2025, a level where profit-taking has historically accelerated.

Stablecoin card spend is growing 100% year over year, Rain exec saysStablecoin-based cards could soon account for double-digit percentages of all cards in some Latin American markets, John Timoney, head of strategic partnerships at Rain, a payments infrastructure platform, said.

Retail stablecoin card spend grew about 105% to 106% over the past year, Timoney said during a panel at Consensus Miami 2026. Cards are physical or virtual, allowing users to spend stablecoins such as tether and USD Coin (USDC) directly from a digital wallet for daily purchases.

Rain provides stablecoin infrastructure for card issuers and recently became a Mastercard Principal Member, allowing it to offer credit and prepaid cards on the Mastercard network. Rain and Mastercard are also exploring on-chain settlement for some card program flows using regulated stablecoins.

The company is not trying to replace card networks, Timoney said. It is trying to make stablecoin balances usable through existing networks that already reach merchants globally.

“The card networks over decades have rolled up hundreds of millions of merchants,” Timoney said. “Rain explicitly did not want to reinvent the wheel.”

Despite record-breaking adoption figures, Solana is still trading below $100, prompting analysts to label it undervalued and a big bet for the future. The 7th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is currently trading right around $90 at press time, up 12% since the start of May, but the value proposition could be substantial.Crypto analyst on X, The Other Parker, tweeted earlier:Based on the influencer's tweet, $SOL currently commands one 1/5th the market capitalization of Ethereum, even though its liquidity only trails the latter by a much smaller difference. While top coins like BTC, ETH, and others have rebounded strongly in recent weeks, SOL continues to trade sideways, offering a strong relative trade opportunity, Parker argues.Solana blockchain's unique Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism and system architecture, offering second finality and minimal fees, has found important use cases in Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. The first quarter of 2026 saw record transaction volumes, with tokenized asset trading reaching $1.26 billion in the first three months alone. Solana's performance during the 2025 calendar year marked a major development, with Decentralized Exchange (DEX) volumes reaching as high as $1.5 trillion and generating $2.4 billion in revenue for the native ecosystem. The network commands millions of daily active users and has inked important partnerships with Visa, Stripe, PayPal, Circle, BlackRock, JPMorgan, and others, which have strengthened its market position. Many analysts had predicted that the programmable blockchain would have a stellar end to 2025, but instead, it experienced a major price meltdown, with its value dronning more than 70% in a matter of months

Bitcoin retreats below $80,000, liquidating $300 million in futures betsBitcoin tumbled back below $80,000 late Thursday after the U.S. launched fresh airstrikes in Iran, causing brent crude oil to briefly top $100 per barrel before giving back a portion of gains during Asia and European hours.

The crypto market was already slightly jittery after Strategy chairman Michael Saylor said that the company would consider selling bitcoin to cover dividend payments from its STRC, a u-turn from its previous "never sell" strategy.

Ether (ETH) is trading at $2,280 having lost 0.2% since midnight UTC and around 2% over the past 24 hours, with other altcoins like monero (XMR) and dash (DASH) losing between 4% and 5%.

The broader crypto recovery remains intact with bitcoin having rallied from $65,000 in late March, although it's worth noting that a drop below $75,000 would negate the recent string of higher lows and would signal a reversion to the pervious trading range.

Derivatives positioning

The crypto futures market has cooled for the second-straight day, with cumulative industry notional open interest down over 1.5% at $131.5 billion and trading volume down over 12% at $191 billion. Investors are clearly deleveraging in the wake of bitcoin's overnight drop below $80,000.

Exchanges have liquidated nearly $300 million in bets in 24 hours, with longs accounting for most of the tally. It shows that traders were positioned for continued price rises into the weekend, only to take the brunt of the unexpected market weakness.

Open interest (OI) has declined in most major tokens, including bitcoin and ether. Meme token DOGE's OI has dropped by over 4%, the most among top 10 coins. TON is the standout, with OI rising by 6%.

For the second straight day, OI-adjusted cumulative volume delta for most majors remains negative, a sign of traders aggressively shorting using market orders rather than passive limit orders.

What’s Expected for Bitcoin (BTC) Price by Year-End? Option Bulls’ Movements Analyzed: Two Levels Stand Out!

The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin ($BTC), surged above $82,000 on news of a possible deal between the US and Iran, coupled with institutional support. However, new developments regarding the conflict in the Middle East pushed $BTC back below $80,000.

However, this recent downturn did not affect the options market, and it entered an upward trend.

Accordingly, options investors are targeting $115,000 for Bitcoin by the end of the year.

According to the data, the number of investors betting that Bitcoin will rise above $115,000 by the end of 2026 in the options market is steadily increasing.

The 33% price increase since the annual low of $60,130 on February 6th is playing a significant role in increasing bullish expectations.

It is estimated that there is approximately $6 billion in open positions in Bitcoin options that expire on December 25th.

A significant portion of this consists of call option bets on the Bitcoin price rising above $115,000. Open positions for $115,000 and above are approximately $1.85 billion.

However, at prices of $55,000 and below, there is a $1 billion put option, a figure that is also noteworthy.

This means that options traders are betting on extreme price expectations in both bullish and bearish markets. If the bulls appear overly optimistic, those taking short positions appear equally overly pessimistic.
