Most people first hear about VPNs in the context of privacy. But in 2026, they’ve become useful for far more than just hiding your IP address. Whether it’s accessing region-locked content, securing public Wi-Fi connections, avoiding tracking, or simply browsing with a little more peace of mind, VPNs have quietly turned into an everyday digital tool for millions of users around the world.

At the same time, not all VPNs are built the same. Some focus heavily on speed and streaming, while others prioritize privacy, advanced security features, or support for crypto payments. And with so many services competing for attention, figuring out which VPN is actually worth using can quickly become overwhelming. That said, here are the top 9 VPNs to use in May 2026.

$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

The chief marketing officer (CMO) at Crypto.com, Steven Kalifowitz, who has overseen more than $1 billion spent on partnerships and high profile campaigns in the past several years, is leaving the company.

Crypto.com spokesperson said Kalifowitz will be moving on from his role as CMO, effective June 30, and will then continue on as advisor to the CEO.

“Steven has been a significant contributor to the effective mainstreaming of the Crypto.com brand, from introducing Crypto.com on a global stage through our first brand film in 2021, to striking strategic partnerships and sponsorships that have helped connect Crypto.com to millions of consumers,” the spokesperson said.

Kalifowitz has been CMO at Crypto.com for close to six years, during which time the company surged in recognition from just being an app to a global brand.

During his tenure, Crypto.com has invested over $1 billion in partnerships, including a $700 million, 20-year deal for naming rights to the Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center), and a $100 million campaign with Matt Damon.

The crypto buying platform also has high-profile partnerships with Formula 1 and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), an American mixed martial arts promotion company based in Las Vegas.

Kalifowitz was previously a brand manager at Twitter for four years, and president of real estate platform Localize.city.

Founded in 2016, Singapore-based Crypto.com allows users to buy and sell more than 200 cryptocurrencies, as well as the ability to earn rewards by depositing crypto or using its Visa card.

Bitcoin [BTC] has been on a wild ride four months into 2026. After experiencing volatility in March, the leading cryptocurrency recovered in April. Even though the year got off to a great start, Bitcoin dropped to a low of $65K in March.

Only in April did Bitcoin manage to break $70,000, and by May, it had surpassed $80,000. On the contrary, Ethereum’s price dropped to $1,943 in March, but it recovered to $2,421 in April. At the time of writing,

Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock, used the Milken Institute Global Conference stage on Tuesday to dispel concerns about an AI bubble. He maintained that a new tradable asset class, computing power futures, will emerge due to growing demand for computing capacity.

Fink said that there is no AI bubble and emphasized that the true problem is a lack of processing power. He clarified that the sector is under structural pressure, as demand for processors, memory, and data center capacity is growing faster than supply can keep pace

Computing power is increasingly being viewed as a fundamental economic input, much like electricity or gasoline.

Speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference, Larry Fink made the case that the size of AI workloads requires continuous computing capacity, making it both limited and quantifiable. As a result of this change, computer infrastructure is becoming a fundamental resource that supports global competitiveness, productivity, and innovation.

Building on that idea, Fink proposed that the development of futures markets may turn computing power into a financial product. Under such a system, suppliers could guarantee steady revenue streams by selling capacity in advance, while businesses could lock in future costs for computing capacity.

Fink pointed out structural constraints across the AI ecosystem, as demand for data centers is growing faster than supply can keep up. He highlighted the need for risk-management solutions, such as futures contracts, that guarantee availability and stabilize costs for businesses expanding their AI operations.

Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield Corp., presented a similar scenario during the same panel discussion. He predicted that, over the next 10 years, data centers, cloud computing, and AI will transform the world economy. “Over the next 10 years, we’re going to rewir

Circle has submitted a formal comment letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency [OCC], supporting stricter regulatory standards for stablecoin issuers under the proposed GENIUS Act framework.

The submission, filed on 1 May, responds to the OCC’s proposed rule establishing a licensing regime for payment stablecoins in the United States, covering areas such as reserve management, risk controls, and operational standards.

Circle is the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, one of the largest dollar-backed tokens with a market cap of over $78 billion.

Ripple is feeding North Korea-linked threat intelligence into Crypto SAC, hoping shared context on DPRK operatives and DeFi exploits can blunt a 2026 hack wave led by Drift and KelpDAO. Summary Ripple is contributing exclusive North Korea-linked threat intelligence to the Crypto ISAC information-sharing platform, arguing that
"the strongest security posture in crypto is a shared one." DPRK hackers have stolen about $577 million in crypto so far in 2026-76% of all hack losses year-to-date —largely via two DeFi exploits on Drift Protocol and KelpDAO. The intelligence covers enriched profiles of suspected North Korean IT operatives and detailed indicators of compromise (IOCs), as attackers pivot from pure technical exploits to long, social engineering-driven campaigns. Ripple said it has begun sharing internal threat intelligence on North Korean hacking activity with members of Crypto ISAC, a not-for-profit cyber collective focused on the digital asset sector. In a joint blog, Crypto ISAC growth director Christina Spring wrote that the data "ranges from domains and wallets known to be associated with fraud, to Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from active DPRK hack campaigns." Ripple's threat feeds go to Crypto ISAC She stressed that what differentiates Ripple's feeds is not just raw indicators but "contextual enrichment from a security team with deep expertise of the threat actors impacting the crypto ecosystem," giving defenders more actionable context than a typical IOC list.
Ripple's own announcement on X argued that "the strongest security posture in crypto is a shared one," adding that "a threat actor who fails a background check at one company will apply to three more that same week. Without shared intelligence, every company starts trom zero.

intelligence reportedly includes enriched profiles of suspected North Korean IT workers attempti

Memecoin trades carry rare 'seven-leg' parlay odds, BONK's Nom says at Consensus
The odds on a seven-leg parlay and the odds on a fresh memecoin trade are roughly the same, $BONK core contributor Nom told audience at the ongoing Consensus Miami on Tuesday.
Most memecoin teams lack the staying power to push their projects through real regulatory steps, Nom said, citing exchange listings, ETF filings and public-company structures as the markers that separate tokens that last from those that rinse retail.
Crypto has built systems "really, really good at incentivizing inorganic traffic," he added, pointing to points programs and airdrop farms that pull in mercenary capital and then watch network activity collapse the following week.
$BONK has worked through several of those rails. Nasdaq-listed Bonk Holdings (BNKK), which rebranded from beverage company Safety Shot in October 2025, holds roughly 2.7% of $BONK's circulating supply and is targeting $115 million in token holdings by the end of 2026.
Tuttle Capital has filed a 2x leveraged $BONK ETF with the SEC, and TenX Protocols, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, made a public treasury allocation in January.
The token launched Christmas Day 2022, days after the FTX collapse, with Solana trading below $10 and most builders questioning whether the chain would survive. $BONK went out as an airdrop to NFT holders, developers and active wallets with no presale, no venture funding and no whitepaper.
The pitch was distribution rather than a token, Nom said, built to give Solana developers something to rally around in a dead market.
The surrounding stack now includes LetsBonk.fun, the Solana memecoin launchpad that flipped rival Pump.fun on monthly volume earlier this year, plus BonkBot, a Telegram trading interface, and around a million wallets, per figures cited on the panel.
Pressed on where the next breakout community comes from,

Traders, stay cautious!

Keeping all that aside, sentiment is only just beginning to rise back up. At the time of writing, Bitcoin's price was attempting to hold above $80,000, with the unified sentiment index moving back into the positive zone. This, after months of weakness.

The index (ranging from -100 to +100) showed that the market was slightly in "greed." That hinted at increasing belief among investors, so they'd hold and not feel the need to sell.

However, there was a similar move in January. At the time, sentiment entered the greed zone before falling back into another price drop.

Iggy Azalea is facing a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. over claims that buyers of her Solana-based MOTHER memecoin were misled about its real-world use cases, business links, and future development.
Summary Iggy Azalea faces legal claims over
MOTHER token utility promises and business integrations allegedly not delivered. The lawsuit says MOTHERLAND used Tether despite being promoted as powered by the MOTHER token. MOTHER's market value dropped sharply after peaking above $136 million in June 2024. The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court by plaintiff Kenneth Kolbrak on Monday. It names Azalea, whose legal name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, and seeks damages for MOTHER buyers who lost money after purchasing the token. The complaint claims Azalea promoted MOTHER as the native token of a wider business ecosystem. That ecosystem allegedly included telecom services, an online casino, a luxury gifting platform, merchandise, and entertainment links.

The complaint also said the terms tied to market support were not clearly disclosed to consumers. Kolbrak said he bought MOTHER after seeing public statements about the token's utility. He claimed he would not have bought the token, or would have paid less, if he had known the alleged claims were not fully delivered. The lawsuit does not appear to frame MOTHER as a security. Instead, it focuses on consumer protection claims tied to alleged deceptive marketing, payment features, and commercial integrations.
