Todd Lyons, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is set to depart from federal service on May 31, 2026, transitioning to the private sector. The announcement came from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who praised Lyons as "a great leader" during his tenure at the helm of one of the country's most scrutinized federal agencies.Lyons was appointed acting ICE chief in March 2025, having previously served as executive associate director of the agency's Enforcement and Removal Operations directorate, where he oversaw the arrest and deportation of undocumented immigrants. His career with the directorate spanned several senior roles, including assistant director of field operations and deputy assistant director of western operations, before rising to lead the entire agency. He originally joined as an immigration enforcement agent based in Dallas.His departure comes amid intense national debate over the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement campaign. Civil rights organizations have raised serious concerns, arguing that ICE operations have infringed on constitutionally protected rights, including free speech and due process. The controversy intensified following the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota — Alex Pretti and Renee Good — in January, which triggered widespread protests and prompted human rights advocates to warn of a growing climate of fear, especially among minority communities.Adding to the scrutiny, prosecutors in Minnesota recently filed assault charges against an ICE agent accused of pointing his firearm at occupants of a vehicle on a Minneapolis highway in February — marking the first criminal charges brought against an ICE officer in connection with the administration's immigration operations in the state.President Trump has consistently defended the crackdown,

The US government has moved around $606,000 worth of BTC to a Coinbase Prime wallet, research from on-chain intelligence portal Arkham shows. While the value of the cryptocurrency involved was minuscule compared to the overall stash in the government wallets, the origin of these BTC can be traced back to the Bitfinex hack of 2016. The move is raising questions about whether this is a test run to transfer these BTC to institutional wallets, signaling the end of this nearly decade-long high-profile hack.The cryptocurrency exchange witnessed one of the largest cyber attacks in the history of the digital currency market, with users losing 119,754 BTC in total. Ilya Lichtenstein exploited a vulnerability in Bitfinex’s multi-signature withdrawal system, authorizing over 2,000 fraudulent transactions, and was able to steal a huge amount from the exchange’s wallets.American authorities recovered roughly 94,000 BTC from the hackers, and the stash has been sitting in government wallets ever since. It is worth a whopping $7.1 billion based on the cryptocurrency’s latest valuation. Ten years ago, it was worth just $71 million. Arkham tweeted:Lichtenstein and his wife, Heather Morgan, were both co-accused in this case and were arrested in 2022 under money laundering charges. Both received multi-year sentences after pleading guilty.While Arkham didn’t exactly say that the US government was dumping its multi-billion-dollar stash, Twitterati were quick to criticize Arkham’s choice of words, which may not be the case.One user replied:Another quipped:The truth is that there is a court-mandated restitution process in which the US government is obliged to return the BTC directly to the affected exchange, rather than liquidating it first and then paying it back.The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has been actively moving the seized Bitcoin to institutional wallets (s

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge


Cardano is already being used by roughly 200 large companies in Germany through agentic AI deployments, even if those firms do not realize the blockchain is sitting underneath their stack, according to Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard. The claim, made during an interview with Jane King on GBBC’s Markets on Chain series from the New York Stock Exchange published April 16, points to a version of blockchain adoption that is less visible to end users but potentially more embedded in enterprise infrastructure.

200 German Companies Use Cardano Without Even Knowing It

Gregaard framed the Cardano Foundation’s role as pushing blockchain into systems people use without necessarily recognizing it. “We have about 200 companies in Germany who live on agentic AI, fairly large companies, and they don’t even know they’re using Cardano as a security layer, as a digital identity layer and as an accountability layer,” he said. “Part of when you have, for instance, agentic AI who’s using data from two different databases, [is] ensuring that the agentic AI is who they say they are, that they have the data they claim without disclosing it, because we want privacy.”

That argument was central to Gregaard’s broader pitch: blockchain, in his view, is becoming an underlying trust and coordination layer for AI-driven systems rather than simply a rails story for tokens or payments. He described a model where users could interact with seamless consumer applications while Cardano handles provenance, identity and compliance in the background. The point was less about visible crypto branding than about infrastructure-level deployment.

Zcash (ZEC) Price Drops 4% Following Selling Pressure

Despite the bullish sentiment in the overall crypto market, the leading privacy coin, Zcash ($ZEC), suffered a drop of around 4.23% on a daily chart, declining its value by $330.

At present, Zcash is trading at around $328.69 with a market capitalization of $5.46 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The daily trading volume is revolving around $468.36 million.

While the $ZEC price witnessed back-to-back drops in the last few days, it still has a monthly gain of around 33%.

Zcash Faces Correction Despite Bullish Sentiment in Crypto Market

The decline comes even while the crypto market is showing mixed signals with selective profit-taking across alternative coins. Bitcoin traded with limited movement around recent levels after earlier gains, and this created a cautious environment for privacy-focused tokens like Zcash.

According to experts, investors mentioning short-term profit booking following a strong rally in $ZEC earlier in 2026 as one major reason behind the current drop. During the last few trading sessions, many traders have purchased $ZEC at low prices. Now, they are selling their tokens.

The current drop comes after facing a rejection at $350, which played a role as a major resistance level. $ZEC has followed a consolidation pattern between $320 and $350 for many weeks after an earlier surge. The recent sessions saw the price break above an important support level around $340, and this breakdown triggered additional sell orders from traders watching the chart closely.

Zcash is now showing early signs of potential further weakness if the price fails to reclaim the broken level on strong buying volume. According to the current price chart, there is a strong support level at around $320, and if the cryptocurrency falls below this level, it could open the door for deep corrections.

Russia introduces bill to criminalize unregistered crypto services

Russia’s government submitted a bill to its parliament’s lower house in an effort to amend the country's legal code to attach criminal liability for crypto services offered without regulatory approval or licensing.

In a draft law sent to the State Duma on Friday, Russian lawmakers proposed that entities "carrying out activities related to the organization of digital currency circulation,” that operate without a license from Russia’s central bank, could be subject to criminal liability.

Without registration with the Bank of Russia, individuals could face up to $4,000 in fines and up to four years in prison, or more severe penalties if part of an organized group.
The same act committed by an organized group, or involving the infliction of damage or the extraction of income on a particularly large scale, would be punishable by compulsory labor for up to five years or imprisonment for up to seven years,” the bill’s text said.

The bill also proposes a “fine of up to 1 million rubles [$13,100] or an amount equal to the convicted person’s salary or other income for a period of up to five years.”

The draft law followed a package of bills initially proposed in March that included criminal penalties for illegal crypto miners, but the most recent legislation included details on fines and potential prison time for any unregistered digital asset services.

According to Russian media outlet RBC, the country’s Supreme Court said that the crypto bill lacks “reasoned justification” for criminal penalties.

The court said that the measure was “premature” until Russia enacted its “Digital Currency and Digital Rights law,” expected to go into effect in July. If the bill passes it would give Russia’s government more control and oversight over the crypto industry.

HBAR price prediction improved Friday as Hedera gained 1.4% and Stellar’s XLM added 1.5% to top the CoinDesk 20 performance update, placing the index at 2,125.52, up 0.3% from Thursday’s close, with just 9 of 20 assets trading higher as Bitcoin approached the $76,000 resistance level that has capped every major rally attempt in 2026. Summary Laggards included Near Protocol at -2.3% and Polkadot at -1.6%, reflecting the selective nature of Friday’s session as capital rotated toward payment-layer and enterprise-backed tokens rather than broad altcoin names. HBAR’s 24-hour trading volume surged 57.6% to over $103 million, a signal of directional positioning ahead of the April 22 Iran ceasefire deadline that has driven selective rotation toward utility networks with institutional governance backing. Stellar’s Protocol 26 “Yardstick” testnet launched April 16, with a mainnet governance vote scheduled for May 6, while LOBSTR Wallet added XRP Ledger support for 1.5 million users the same day, deepening cross-chain utility between two payment-focused ecosystems. HBAR price prediction improved Friday as both tokens outperformed the CoinDesk 20’s 0.3% gain by a wide margin, with Hedera rising 1.4% and Stellar 1.5% against an index that saw 11 of 20 assets move flat or lower. Bitcoin’s push toward $76,000 drove selective altcoin rotation, and both HBAR and XLM carry the profile that tends to lead early in such moves — payment-layer infrastructure with institutional governance and regulatory credibility. Near Protocol fell 2.3% as the session’s worst performer, and Polkadot dropped 1.6%. General-purpose Layer-1 networks with slower development cadences underperformed, while tokens with specific near-term catalysts and enterprise backing attracted the session’s marginal buying.

XRP Mimics 2017 Fractal, Trader Predicts Price in 90 Days
Double-digit price predictions for XRP are back in the spotlight as some analysts suggest the asset may be repeating its historic 2017 price pattern.


The outlook has raised expectations of a dramatic breakout in the coming months, as the coin surged 8% over the past week. Notably, XRP is trading at $1.44, its highest price in three weeks. Amid the ongoing bullish momentum, market watchers are drawing parallels with historical patterns.

Key Points

XRP mirrors its 2017 fractal, with traders eyeing a potential breakout toward $32 in 90 days.

The coin is up 8% weekly, trading near $1.44, its highest level in three weeks.

Analyst CryptoCupra says XRP’s current consolidation pattern resembles its explosive 2017 rally setup.

Skeptics argue past fractal predictions haven’t worked, while XRP must first reclaim $2–$3 resistance.
