Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Crypto and financial industry leaders have raised concerns over Elon Musk’s proposed X Money. This includes Senator Elizabeth Warren, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, who warned that the move will threaten financial stability. Senator Elizabeth Warren Questions Elon Musk’s X MoneySenator Warren wrote a letter to Elon Musk in which she raised concerns about the proposed April launch for the payments platform, X Money. She stated that developments around the launch of the payments platform raise significant consumer, financial stability, and national security concerns.  Related Reading: Elon Musk Has Confirmed When X Money Will Be Available, But Do You Know What To Expect?As part of these concerns, the senator noted that X Money may partner with Cross River Bank, which was subject to a serious enforcement action by the FDIC in 2023 for unsafe and unsound practices. She also highlighted X Money’s preview materials, which suggest that users can earn up to 6% APY on deposit accounts. Warren said it is unclear what risky investments they plan to pursue to earn this yield when the Federal funds rate is at 3.75%. Senator Warren also raised concerns over X’s record of allowing sanctioned individuals like Hezbollah and the Houthis to purchase verified accounts and raise funds through the platform. She added that there have also been systemic failures to address child sexual abuse material, data privacy violations, and widespread fraud by verified users. Meanwhile, the senator warned about Musk’s potential role in shaping the regulatory environment for his own financial product, as X Money may include stablecoin issuance. She alluded to the GENIUS Act, which Warren noted includes a “suspicious carveout” that enables companies like X to issue a stabl

Renowned Analyst Benjamin Cowen Issued a Warning Despite Bitcoin's Rise

In his latest video, Benjamin Cowen, a leading analyst in the cryptocurrency market, evaluated Bitcoin's current price movements using historical data and "seasonality."

Analyzing Bitcoin's return to the $77,000 level, Cowen warned investors about potential weakness in the coming weeks.

Cowen noted that Bitcoin's current trajectory bears striking similarities to the "US midterm election years" cycles of 2018 and 2022. According to the analyst, Bitcoin hit a low of $60,000 in February, followed by a higher low in late March and early April.

However, Cowen argued that this was not an absolute bullish signal, but rather that "time-based capitulation" within a bear market was more significant than price-based decline.

One of the most striking points in the analysis was the risks projected for late April and early May. Cowen predicts that Bitcoin could reach a local peak at the end of April, similar to 2018, and then decline again at the beginning of May after sweeping that high.

A new memecoin, Asteroid, has taken the crypto market by storm, jumping from a tiny $50K market cap to over $20M+ in just hours. Data shared by Arkham shows how quickly the token went parabolic, leaving traders scrambling to understand what just happened.

What is Asteroid Shiba (ASTEROID)
Unlike typical meme coins, Asteroid carries an emotional backstory. Radio host Glenn Beck shared Liv’s story publicly. It’s based on a Shiba Inu plush designed by Liv Perrotto, a 15-year-old who sadly passed away after battling cancer. Her creation wasn’t just a toy; it actually flew as a zero-gravity indicator on a space mission.

Before her passing, Liv had one dream: to connect with Elon Musk. One of her final questions stood out:

“Can you make Asteroid… the mascot for SpaceX?”

Musk replied :

“Will answer shortly.”

That was enough to ignite a market rally. Traders quickly piled in, betting on the possibility that Musk might acknowledge or even adopt the idea. As one trader described it:

“Degens are betting 5-6 figure positions that Elon Musk will make $Asteroid the mascot of SpaceX.”

From there, traders and whales amplified the move. According to Lookonchain, one early buyer held through 580 days of near-zero value, turning a $21K position into nearly $392K after the surge. On the other hand, a fast-moving trader flipped just 1 ETH into over $470K within hours by entering right after Musk’s comment.

Cardano Founder Explains Why Midnight and NIGHT Differ Fundamentally From Ripple and XRP

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson contrasts Midnight ($NIGHT) with Ripple and $XRP, arguing that the two models differ fundamentally in how value is created and distributed.

Hoskinson made this known during a recent interview with Wendy O on “The O Show.” His commentary centers on ownership, token utility, and whether network growth directly benefits token holders.

Key Points

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues that Midnight ($NIGHT) and $XRP differ fundamentally in value creation and distribution.

He argues Ripple uses $XRP sales to generate capital for external investments and acquisitions, but $XRP holders never benefit from this model.

Hoskinson compares Ripple’s model to Tether’s, where value accrues mainly to a central entity.

His comments have reignited tensions with the $XRP community, raising the prospect of renewed disputes with figures like Brad Garlinghouse.
