Solana Institute-backed super PAC pours $8 million against Sherrod Brown in Ohio race

Sentinel Action Fund said it will spend $8 million with its sister advocacy group to back Republican Senator Jon Husted against Sherrod Brown in the upcoming race.

Sentinel Action Fund has received backing from the Solana Institute and Multicoin Capital, a crypto-focused venture capital firm.

Sentinel Action Fund, a U.S. super PAC (political action committee) backed by the Solana Institute, has pledged $8 million to support Republican Senator Jon Husted in Ohio for the upcoming November midterms.

The super PAC said Wednesday that it plans to pour $8 million alongside its sister advocacy organization Right Vote to back Husted's campaign.

Jon Husted has been a vocal supporter of crypto innovation. Advocacy group  rates him as "strongly supports crypto" based on his past statements, and he has backed key pro-crypto legislation, including the GENIUS Act.

In a , Husted called for a "pro-innovation framework for digital assets," suggesting that digital asset technology represents the "next wave of economic opportunity for working families."

Husted is running against Sherrod Brown, a Democratic Senator who has been a vocal critic of the crypto industry. Notably, Brown has advocated for a crackdown on the use of cryptocurrency to fund terrorism and evade sanctions. Brown lost his Senate seat in the 2024 election.

"[Brown] has stood in the way of pro-innovation policies when it comes to digital assets," Sentinel Action Fund President Jessica Anderson said in the Wednesday statement.

Sentinel has received backing from the Solana Institute and Multicoin Capital, a crypto-focused venture capital firm. The Solana Institute has donated $750,000 to the super PAC so far, while Multicoin has contributed $250,000, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Why is XRP stuck below $1.40 despite ETF inflows and rising 

The cryptocurrency market has slightly retraced following its recent rally.

Bitcoin has dropped to the $74,300 level, while Ether is trading around $2,330, down by more than 1% in the last 24 hours.

Ripple’s $XRP is also down by 0.5% since Tuesday and is now hovering around $1.35 per coin.

It has failed to take out the $1.40 resistance level once again and could record further losses in the near term.

$XRP ETFs, derivatives gain on renewed investor interest

$XRP is down by less than 1% in the last 24 hours despite a mild return in risk appetite from both institutional and retail market participants.

According to CoinGlass, US-listed $XRP spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) extended a three-day bullish streak, attracting $10.9 million in inflows on Tuesday and roughly $1.46 million on Monday.

Cumulative inflows now stand at $1.23 billion, with net assets under management averaging $966 million.

If the risk-on sentiment holds and draws investor interest, $XRP could gain momentum, driving prices above $1.40.

In addition to that, $XRP is currently experiencing a mild influx of retail capital, as futures OI rises to $2.47 billion on Wednesday, from $2.38 billion recorded on Monday.

Europe is warming up to blockchain innovation—but it’s doing so carefully. In its latest bulletin, the European Central Bank made it clear: tokenization can transform capital markets, but only if it’s backed by strong regulation, interoperable systems, and central bank money.
At the heart of the discussion is Distributed Ledger Technology, which the ECB يرى as a tool to modernize how financial markets operate. From issuing securities to settling trades, tokenization could streamline processes that today rely on multiple intermediaries, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
But the ECB isn’t rushing in blindly.
Transparency, stability, and control remain top priorities.
The central bank outlined key conditions for safe adoption:
→ Settlement must rely on central bank money
Tokenized markets should not depend solely on private tokens or commercial bank money. Anchoring transactions in central bank money is critical to maintaining financial stability.
→ Infrastructure must be interoperable
Fragmented blockchain systems could create inefficiencies and new risks. The ECB warns against a “patchwork” of incompatible platforms.
→ Regulation must evolve alongside innovation
Frameworks like Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation will play a crucial role in ensuring safe growth, especially for stablecoins and tokenized assets.
The report also highlights emerging trends:
• Tokenized bonds are showing early promise, with potential for lower borrowing costs and tighter spreads—but results are still preliminary.
• Euro stablecoins and tokenized money market funds (MMFs) could either strengthen liquidity during market stress or introduce new contagion channels, depending on how they are structured and regulated.
The ECB’s message is clear:
Tokenization isn’t the risk—uncontrolled tokenization is.
As finance moves on-chain, the real challenge will be balancing innovation with resilience. Europe wants to lead this shift—but on its own terms.

Strategy has continued its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation with another billion-dollar buy despite the BTC price trading below its cost basis.

Strategy Has Added 13,927 BTC To Its Treasury
As shared by Strategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor in a new X post, the treasury company has furthered its Bitcoin buying spree. The new acquisition involved a total of 13,927 BTC, bought for $1 billion or $71,902 per token.

This is a sizeable purchase and a step up from the company’s last two buys of 1,031 and 4,871 coins. Saylor hinted at the purchase being significant in his usual Sunday X post with the company’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker, this time using the caption “Think ₿igger.”

Following this acquisition, Strategy has witnessed its holdings cross the 780,000 BTC milestone. Also, its total investment is approaching the $60 billion mark, with its current value sitting at $59.02 billion.

According to the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy made the new purchase between April 6th and 12th and funded it using sales of its STRC at-the-market (ATM) stock offering.

With 780,897 BTC in Strategy’s wallets, its holdings alone account for about 3.9% of the entire circulating supply of the cryptocurrency. This makes it by far the largest public holder of BTC.

Strategy has continued its Bitcoin accumulation despite the fact that the cryptocurrency’s spot price has been trading below the company’s cost basis of $75,577 since the crash at the start of February. At the current price, the firm’s massive holdings are about 6.3% underwater.

Interestingly, Strategy actually doesn’t need much of a return on its BTC investment to sustain its operations. As Saylor has explained in an X post, the company’s break-even BTC annual rate of return is just 2.05%. “If Bitcoin grows faster than that over

 XRP Holds Strong as
Market Awaits Breakout Above Key
Resistance
XRP is currently showing stability in the market as it trades within a tight range, building momentum for a potential breakout.
Despite overall market fluctuations, XRP has managed to hold its ground, which indicates strong buyer support. The main focus for traders right now is the ongoing interest in Ripple's ecosystem and its cross-border payment solutions, which continue to attract institutional attention.
Another factor supporting XRP is the growing optimism around regulatory clarity.
Positive developments in Ripple-related discussions are improving investor sentiment, which could play a major role in XRP's next move. However, like other altcoins, XRP is also facing resistance due to short-term profit-taking and overall market uncertainty.
Il Current Market Situation:
XRP is currently trading around the $0.60 - $0.65 range, which is acting as a
consolidation zone. This range is important because it will decide the next direction of the price. A breakout or breakdown from this zone is expected soon.
~ Price Prediction (Short-Term):
If XRP breaks above $0.66 resistance, next targets could be:
$0.75
$0.85
If rejection occurs:
Support levels: $0.55 - $0.57
• Final Insight:
XRP's structure is currently neutral to bullish, with a high chance of breakout if buying volume increases. Traders should wait for confirmation before entering trades.
