The MEV gods do not discriminate.

Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum's co-founder and a vocal advocate for fixing toxic maximal extractable value, got hit by the very kind of attack he has been campaigning against, blockchain data from earlier this week shows.

Data shows a transaction by Buterin on April 30 was sandwiched by the bot in block 24993038, per Etherscan data, resulting in a worse execution price for the Ethereum co-founder.

A sandwich attack is when a bot spots a trader's pending transaction, places its own buy order in front to push the price up, lets the victim execute at the inflated price, then dumps the tokens immediately after to pocket the difference. The victim usually does not even notice, as they just get a slightly worse fill than they should have.

Analysis by CoinDesk shows Buterin swapped 26,544 digitalbits (XDB) tokens worth roughly $3.86 for 0.00197 ETH worth $4.56. The bot ran $1.14 million worth of WETH through SushiSwap and Uniswap V2 to manipulate the XDB price between the two pools right before Buterin's swap landed.

After gas fees of $5.14, Jared appears to have lost money on this particular sandwich, and Buterin's slippage was likely in a few cents.

This shows the bot is so industrialized that it scans every pending transaction in the mempool for any opportunity to insert itself, profitable or not.Buterin has spent the past several months pitching encrypted mempools as a fix for toxic MEV in Ethereum's 2026 roadmap.

MEV is the profit that whoever orders transactions on a blockchain can pocket by reshuffling them. Anyone running a bot that watches the public mempool, the holding pen where pending transactions sit before being added to a block, can spot opportunities to insert their own trades around someone else's.

Sandwich attacks are the most aggressive form, with cumulative MEV extracted on Ethereum is now ov

The great derivatives disconnect: Why 'negative' funding is actually a bullish signal for Bitcoin
Bitcoin funding rates are flashing one of the most bearish positioning signals in years, even as spot prices keep grinding higher.

Funding rates have been running near minus 4% annualized, James Aitchison, founder and CIO of Caerus Global, said during a panel at Consensus Miami 2026. That means longs are being paid to hold exposure, a rare setup that points to heavy short positioning.

“The longs are getting paid, which is quite a rarity,” Aitchison said. “On a 30-day basis, the lowest it has been this decade.”

The setup mirrors a broader derivatives disconnect. Bitcoin funding rates hit their most negative levels since 2023 in April, even as BTC pushed through $75,000 at the time. Aitchison said similar conditions have historically preceded positive returns over 30- to 365-day periods.
Bitcoin has rebounded from roughly $60,000 to the low $80,000s at the of writing. The move has forced traders to reassess whether old crypto-native signals still work in a market increasingly shaped by ETFs, basis trades and Wall Street distribution.

Spot bitcoin ETF demand has held through the drawdown. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in $1.6 billion so far this month, even as short-term holders sold.

That resilience has made ETF holders central to the current market structure. Dan Blackmore, chief commercial officer at Glassnode, said bitcoin is moving into a new regime as volatility falls and allocations become more strategic.

“We’re witnessing the early innings of the Wall Street machine and its impact on the crypto market,” Backmore said.
Options are accelerating that shift. IBIT options open interest topped Deribit in April, pointing to a migration of bitcoin derivatives activity into regulated U.S. venues. Morgan Stanley’s bitcoin ETF opened just last

$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

South Korean crypto exchange Upbit has added B3 to its Korean won market, giving local traders direct access to the Base-linked token.

Trading was first scheduled for 13:45 KST on May 7, before Upbit moved the start time to 14:00 KST.

B3 is a layer-3 blockchain built on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network developed with the OP Stack. The Upbit listing gives the token access to one of Asia’s most active retail crypto markets.

Exchange sets early trading limits

Upbit said deposits and withdrawals will only support B3 through the Base network. The exchange also asked users to confirm the contract address before sending funds. Deposits through unsupported networks may face a long refund process.

The exchange placed normal controls on early trading. Buy orders were restricted for about five minutes after launch. Upbit also limited low-price sell orders and restricted non-limit order types for about two hours

Upbit warned, “If a certain level of liquidity is not secured after the commencement of deposit and withdrawal services, the start of trading support may be postponed.” The notice shows the exchange kept room to adjust trading if market depth was weak.

B3 joins recent Upbit listing wave

The listing comes after several Upbit market additions drove fresh attention to selected tokens. As crypto.news reported yesterday, Dogwifhat rose after Upbit added WIF trading pairs against KRW, $BTC, and $USDT on May 6. The report also noted that new listings can expose traders to fast price swings.
Earlier, crypto.news reported that Centrifuge jumped more than 180% after Upbit announced trading support. Another report said Internet Computer added about $100 million in market value after Upbit opened ICP trading against KRW, $BTC, and $USDT.

These cases show why new KRW pairs draw close market attention. They create direct local currency acces

XRP Ledger Processes First Near Real-Time Cross-Border Redemption of Tokenized U.S. Treasuries


$XRP Ledger has just processed one of its most significant institutional transactions yet, involving tokenized U.S. Treasuries.

On X, validator Vet disclosed that he examined activity tied to Ondo Finance on the $XRP Ledger. During this review, he discovered two recent Ripple transactions that redeemed Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG) as part of a settlement flow involving Mastercard and JPMorgan.

According to Vet, the transactions settled “for fractions of a penny in a few seconds,” highlighting XRPL’s low-cost and high-speed settlement capabilities.

Ripple Redeemed OUSG on XRPL

In his post, Vet stated that Ondo operates as a native issuer of tokenized U.S. Treasuries on the $XRP Ledger. After reviewing on-chain activity, he said the transactions reflect Ripple’s participation in a cross-border settlement process involving Mastercard and JPMorgan.

The validator added that this may be the “first near real-time, cross-border, and cross-bank redemption” of tokenized U.S. Treasuries on $XRP. Now, the next step is scaling adoption.

The comments came shortly after Ondo Finance announced a successful pilot connecting traditional banking systems with the $XRP Ledger.

Ondo, Ripple, Mastercard, and JPMorgan Complete Pilot Transaction

In its statement, Ondo Finance confirmed that it worked alongside JPMorgan Chase & Co., Mastercard, and Ripple to complete a landmark pilot transaction.

The transaction connected the $XRP Ledger with interbank settlement infrastructure and enabled tokenized U.S. Treasuries to settle across borders and banking systems in near real time, even outside traditional banking hours.

Ondo outlined the process in three steps:

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

PEPE is trying to hold its place in the meme coin market after months of weaker momentum, but a new technical setup shows that the next move may be decided by a narrow support zone. The latest chart analysis shared by crypto analyst Lars Koostra on X shows the meme coin reacting from a demand area.

PEPE Holds Demand, But The TCT Model Still Warns Of Distribution
The analysis is built around a TCT model, which analyst Lars Koostra says has now been confirmed. The question now is whether it can defend the current demand point of interest or whether the token is setting up for a deeper bearish rotation back into range lows.

The technical chart shows PEPE trading around 0.00000400, with its price bouncing from what the analyst describes as the only demand POI currently preventing a full bearish rotation. This is the final support area keeping the structure from completing the downside move projected by the TCT model.


Source: Chart from Lars Koostra on X
The TCT model points out that the meme coin has already shown signs of distribution near the upper part of the range. The price action previously moved into the higher supply area in late April but failed to break cleanly above it, confirming the analyst’s view that demand is below the current price.

Therefore, the recent bounce does not automatically invalidate the bearish structure. It only delays it until PEPE either breaks higher with strength or loses the support now holding the market together. Speaking of the recent bounce, the meme coin is currently trading with a 4.8% increase in the past 24 hours and a 5.5% increase in the past seven days.

Extreme Supply Could Decide Whether The Bounce Has Real Strength
The chart’s red projection shows PEPE possibly pushing higher into extreme supply before reversing lower. This upper resistance band visible on the chart is sitting in the $0.000004130 t
