RAVE Token Crashes 95%
RAVE token collapsed by about 95% after allegations of market manipulation rattled traders. Launched in December 2025, RAVE spiked from under $1 to nearly $28 within 10 days before tumbling to around $0.70 by April 20. Crypto analyst ZachXBT reported that nine addresses linked to the project held most of the supply and moved funds to major exchanges, wiping out billions in value. Several exchanges said they would investigate the activity, while the RaveDAO team denied any misconduct. Traders reacted with frustration as billions in value evaporated.

Over the past year, Solana has been the platform of choice for cryptocurrency speculation. This positioning provided its network with an invaluable "stress test." The result was an explosive growth in user activity, fees, number of developers, and investor attention.

However, this also made the network highly vulnerable to a "cooling down" effect once risk appetite subsided. This "cooling down" effect arrived in the first quarter. Solana is now in reset mode. This article will share a comprehensive data-driven update on the Solana network's performance in the first quarter, as well as our focus going forward.

REV = Base Fee, Priority Fee, MEV (Jito Tip), and voting fees for accessing L1 block space. MEV (Jito Tip) is distributed to SOL holders through staking. The remaining fees belong to validators, with 50% of the base fee being burned.

 Solana network total fees in Q1 were $89.9 million—the lowest level since Q3 2023. This represents a 1.4% decrease from the previous quarter and a 68% decrease year-over-year.

For reference, Ethereum L1 fees in Q1 were $82 million.

Detailed analysis follows:

Base Fees: Down 8.7% in Q1, but up 9.4% year-over-year;

Jito Tips (MEV): Down 19.7% in Q1, down 72.3% year-over-year;

Priority Fees: Up 23% in Q1, but down 68.8% year-over-year;

Voting Fees: Down 44.5% in Q1, down 16.4% year-over-year.

Key Takeaways

Solana was a "hotbed of speculation" in the previous cycle (alongside Hyperliquid).  The most powerful applications on the network (Pump, Axiom, Raydium, Jupiter) are all geared towards retail traders, resulting in highly cyclical on-chain revenue that is heavily reliant on speculative demand.

Coinbase Announces New Regarding Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)!


Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, continues to expand its presence in the UK.

At this point, Coinbase recently announced the launch of its cryptocurrency-backed lending service in the UK.

Coinbase stated in a press release that users in the UK can borrow in $USDC using Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and cbETH as collateral.

Users can borrow $USDC by offering $BTC, $ETH, or cbETH as collateral. Accordingly, Coinbase allows users to borrow up to $5 million in $USDC in exchange for other crypto assets through Morpho on Base.

The service is offered through Morpho, an open-source lending protocol built on the Base network.

According to the announcement, users can access the borrowing feature in the Coinbase app’s “Borrow” section by selecting an asset as collateral and specifying the amount of $USDC they wish to borrow. Morpho then transfers the loan to the user’s Coinbase account within seconds, where it can be converted to British pounds or transferred.

According to the statement, there is no fixed repayment schedule, and borrowers can repay their loans at any time.

“…There is no fixed repayment schedule, and users will always have the flexibility to choose when they repay their loans.”

Coinbase’s UK lending product service launched a year after it introduced crypto-backed loans in the US in January 2025. The initial US offering allowed customers to borrow up to $100,000 (currently $5 million) in $USDC using Bitcoin as collateral. This service is available across the US, excluding New York. Starting with Bitcoin, the lending service has now expanded to include Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Litecoin (LTC).

Coinbase also added that it plans to expand access to cryptocurrency-backed loans to more countries in the near future.

U.S.-Iran ceasefire ends, Tesla earnings: Crypto Week Ahead

Crypto heads into the new week with its Friday rally on shakier ground.

The announced reopening of the Strait of Hormuz sent oil lower and pushed risk assets higher, including bitcoin and the wider crypto market. The opening reversed on Saturday, with Iran firing at ships attempting to pass and the U.S. seizing an Iranian-flagged tanker on Sunday.

With the ceasefire set to expire by mid-week, traders will be watching whether the risk-on rotation can survive a renewed energy shock.

The technical level to watch is clear. Luke Nolan, senior ETH research associate at CoinShares, told CoinDesk the follow-through hinges on bitcoin holding its ETF cost basis near $74,000.

"With Hormuz reopening, oil is off and equities have caught a bid back to ATHs, pulling crypto higher with it," Nolan said. "Follow-through now hinges on BTC decisively holding above its ETF cost basis (~$74k), which would confirm the risk-on rotation already visible in flows. ETF flows have turned positive the last three sessions, and a pickup in that pace would be supportive of the move higher."

A decisive hold above $74,000 into the ceasefire deadline, paired with a fourth straight session of positive ETF inflows, would validate the rotation thesis. A break below would bring volatility back into the sector.

Tether backs UAE tokenization firm KAIO in $8M funding round to bring Emirati funds onchain



Abu Dhabi-regulated tokenization firm KAIO said Monday it had raised $8 million in a strategic funding round backed by Tether and several other crypto and institutional investors, as it builds infrastructure to bring traditional funds onto blockchain rails.

The round brings KAIO’s total funding to $19 million. New investors include Systemic Ventures, while Further Ventures and Laser Digital joined again alongside earlier backers such as Brevan Howard Digital.

KAIO said it develops infrastructure that allows asset managers to distribute funds onchain. It packages products from firms like BlackRock, Brevan Howard and Hamilton Lane, then makes them accessible through blockchain-based systems.

With the investment, KAIO plans to expand into other products such as credit, structured investments and exchange-traded funds. The firm said it plans to launch onchain fund with Mubadala Capital, the Emirati private equity firm with $385 billion in assets under management.

By creating tokens of institutional funds, the firm said its goal is to lower investor barriers to entry. KAIO targets minimum investments starting at $100 for eligible users, far below the typical thresholds for institutional funds.

Tether's involvement ties the model to stablecoin flows. USDT is the most popular stablecoin, boasting a $185 billion supply, and is often used to move money across borders, especially in emerging markets. KAIO aims to channel that liquidity into regulated investment products.

"KAIO’s unique position unlocks new pathways for capital formation and investment by bringing institutional-grade assets onchain and making them more broadly accessible, helping expand participation in global financial markets," Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a statement.

Bitcoin CME open interest near a 14-month low as basis trade unwinds.

Two Prime’s Alex Blume says one dominant buyer has changed the market structure.

So-called "basis traders" are done dragging down the Bitcoin market just as one dominant buyer is accelerating its purchases, according to Alex Blume, CEO of investment adviser Two Prime.

The sharp drop in futures positioning shows that what's known as the “basis trade,” which weighed on the market for months, is largely finished. Meanwhile, Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy has stockpiled nearly $60 billion in the top crypto.

“When directional capital makes a decision, it moves [the] price,” Blume said in a note shared with DL News. “The combination of one large directional buyer systematically accumulating while hedged yield farmers exit is an unusual market structure.”

Blume’s assessment lands amid a striking divergence between the cryptocurrency industry and other global markets. On Friday, the S&P 500 hit a new record high while Bitcoin still remains roughly 40% below its October peak near $126,000.
