Russian air defence systems intercepted more than 50 drones targeting Moscow within roughly 15 hours, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. The reported wave of drone attacks came just before Russia's planned three-day ceasefire linked to Victory Day commemorations marking the Soviet Union's triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II.Sobyanin shared frequent updates on Telegram throughout Thursday, stating that Russian air defence forces successfully destroyed multiple Ukrainian drones approaching the Russian capital. The interceptions reportedly began around 11 a.m. local time on Thursday and continued until approximately 2 a.m. on Friday. Emergency response teams were dispatched to inspect drone debris and assess any potential damage on the ground.Separately, Russia's Defence Ministry announced that a total of 95 Ukrainian drones had been intercepted across several regions in central and southern Russia during a four-hour period ending at midnight. The ministry described the attacks as part of continued cross-border drone operations amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine. The latest drone strikes highlight the growing intensity of aerial warfare in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Moscow increasingly targeted by long-range unmanned aerial vehicles. Russian authorities have frequently reported drone interceptions in recent months, especially ahead of politically significant events and public celebrations. Russia also confirmed that a temporary ceasefire would begin at midnight between May 7 and May 8 and continue through May 10. The truce is intended to coincide with annual Victory Day events, one of Russia's most important national holidays. Despite the planned ceasefire the recent drone activity underscores the

Stablecoins evolve from crypto trading tools into global payment infrastructureStablecoins are emerging as one of the most closely watched developments in global finance, as banks, payment firms, and technology companies explore blockchain-based alternatives to traditional payment rails.

Once mainly used by traders moving funds between cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoins are now expanding into cross-border remittances, merchant settlements, treasury management, and machine-to-machine payments.

The shift is happening as businesses seek cheaper alternatives to conventional banking infrastructure, where international transfers can take days to settle and involve multiple intermediaries.

According to a16z crypto’s April 24 report, stablecoin transfer volume reached $4.5 trillion in the first quarter of 2026, with usage increasingly tied to payments rather than speculative trading.

Why payment firms are leaning in

Industry executives say the appeal lies in continuous settlement and lower operational costs.

Financial infrastructure provider Finzly notes that stablecoins can streamline cross-border payments by settling continuously on blockchain networks instead of depending on banking hours and correspondent chains.

Retail Banker International reports that stablecoins are slowly entering real-world commerce as merchants test blockchain-based settlement.

Large payment and technology firms are positioning themselves around the trend. Reuters reported in January that Visa continues exploring stablecoin settlement infrastructure. “You still have to come back and connect to the existing merchant acceptance ecosystem,” Visa’s head of crypto Cuy Sheffield told Reuters.

AI agents are the new use case

Technology companies are also testing stablecoins for AI-powered commerce. The Block reported that Amazon Web Services is working with Coinbase and Stripe to support USDC payments for AI agents, allowing autonomous software sy

USD/CAD Price Forecast: Eases from one-week top; trades near 1.3650 ahead of jobs data
USD/CAD edges lower on Friday, snapping a two-day winning streak, though the downside seems limited.
Traders seem hesitant amid persistent geopolitical uncertainties and ahead of US/Canadian jobs data.
A bullish technical setup further warrants caution before positioning for any meaningful depreciation.
The USD/CAD pair struggles to build on its gains registered over the past two days and trades with a mild negative bias during the Asian session on Friday. Spot prices, however, hold above mid-1.3600s and remain close to a one-week top ahead of crucial employment details from the US and Canada.

In the meantime, hopes for a potential US-Iran peace deal keep a lid on any meaningful appreciation for the safe-haven US Dollar (USD) and cap the upside for the USD/CAD pair. However, a fresh leg down in Crude Oil prices is seen undermining the commodity-linked Loonie and acting as a tailwind for the currency pair. Traders also seem hesitant and opt to wait for the release of the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report and Canadian jobs data.

Arbitrum delegates approved the release of $71 million in ether frozen after last month’s Lazarus-linked rsETH exploit, setting up a direct clash between decentralized governance and an active U.S. court fight over who owns the funds.

The on-chain vote, which closed Friday afternoon Hong Kong time with more than 90% support, authorizes the release of 30,765 $ETH frozen by Arbitrum’s Security Council after the April 18 exploit, when attackers used unbacked rsETH tokens as collateral on Aave to borrow roughly $230 million in $ETH from the protocol.

The funds are earmarked for a coordinated industry recovery effort led by Aave, KelpDAO, LayerZero, EtherFi and Compound, aimed at making affected users whole.

But the frozen ether is also at the center of an escalating legal dispute in Manhattan federal court.

Last week, attorney Charles Gerstein, representing families holding roughly $877 million in unpaid terrorism judgments against North Korea, served a restraining notice on Arbitrum DAO claiming the frozen $ETH constitutes North Korean property because the exploit has been widely attributed to Pyongyang’s Lazarus Group.

That triggered an emergency legal fight.

Aave moved earlier this week to vacate the restraining notice, arguing the assets belong to innocent users, not North Korea, and warning that continued delays risk “cascading liquidations” and broader instability across decentralized finance markets.

Gerstein fired back Tuesday, arguing the exploit was not theft but fraud, meaning the attackers obtained legal title to the $ETH by deceiving Aave’s lending markets with worthless collateral.

Friday’s governance vote does not mean the funds move immediately.

Because the measure was structured as a Constitutional AIP under Arbitrum’s governance framework, the transfer cannot be executed for at least eight days, giving the Manhattan court time to intervene before any $ETH moves.

Arbitrum delegates were also not voting blindly to the legal risk. The proposal i

The institutional capital flow into Ethereum [ETH] has not slowed. A recent report explored how the biggest corporate Ethereum holder in the world, Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which holds over 5 million ETH, has a cleaner balance sheet for not taking on debt to acquire ETH more aggressively.

The Bitmine holdings have an average cost basis of $2,336 per Ethereum. Curiously, that was not far from the current market price of ETH.

Towards the end of April, the ETH spot ETF flows turned negative but have flipped positive in May once more. Combined with the promise of further purchases from the digital asset treasury, Bitmine, can Ethereum rally to $3,000 in 2026?

Prediction markets give Bitcoin only a 9% chance of hitting 1 million by 2030 despite VanEck’s bullish forecast

“There are no bailouts in Bitcoin, so it’s going to be cycles along the way,” Sigel noted, making clear that while he sees it as a major trend, wild swings in price will happen.

Not all major investors are equally optimistic about Bitcoin’s future.

Ray Dalio has questioned its potential to serve as a global reserve asset, pointing to possible regulatory obstacles.

Gold supporter Peter Schiff has also pushed back against the idea that Bitcoin could replace traditional safe-haven investments.

Whether the cryptocurrency reaches a seven-figure valuation within five years or only after several decades remains a topic of debate between bullish institutional analysts and the more cautious traders participating in prediction markets.

Zcash just exploded 40% – and the privacy coin rally is no longer just a crypto-native trade
Investors bet that the rise of AI and global data collection will force a massive premium on the zero-knowledge privacy features of ZEC.Zcash is rapidly shedding its historical reputation as a niche tool for digital anonymity, transforming instead into a high-stakes institutional hedge against global financial surveillance.

According to CryptoSlate's data, the privacy-centric cryptocurrency rocketed roughly 40% in a single trading session on Wednesday, briefly eclipsing the $600 mark to hit a local peak of $603 before settling near $570.

The explosive intraday move extends a staggering period of outperformance for the digital asset, which has now soared more than 100% over the past month.

Arjun Chirumamilla, an investor at HashGraph Ventures, observed that the current momentum stems from long-term fundamentals surrounding the digital asset rather than short-term manipulation.
