CryptoQuant rejects dump fears on Bitcoin whaleA Bitcoin whale dormant since 2013 moved $40 million in $BTC on May 10, with analysts ruling out an exchange dump.

A long-dormant Bitcoin whale wallet moved about $40 million in $BTC on Sunday after more than 12 years of silence. Whale Alert detected the transfer at 19:16 UTC, with funds moving to a new address not associated with any known exchange.

The wallet was created on November 27, 2013, and had remained untouched ever since. Bitcoin traded at roughly $923 when the coins were originally received, making the 500 $BTC stash worth about $461,500 at the time. At current prices, that position has risen approximately 87-fold.

Why analysts are not sounding the alarm

CryptoQuant’s Ki Young Ju called it on May 10: “Classic OTC prep, not dump pressure, low fees and non-CEX destination scream institutional.” The transfer fee was just 0.0001 $BTC, worth roughly $8 at current prices, a level well below typical exchange inflow transactions.

No spike in large-scale selling pressure was observed after the transfer became public. Blockchain data has not shown the 500 $BTC entering any known exchange deposit address. A comparable event in March 2026 saw a wallet dormant since 2012 move 2,100 $BTC worth $147 million with no confirmed exchange inflow.

Circle launched a suite of tools designed to let AI agents hold wallets, discover services and make programmable payments using $USDC, as companies race to build financial infrastructure for autonomous software systems.

The products, released under Circle’s new “Agent Stack,” include agent-focused wallets, a command-line developer interface, a marketplace for agentic services and a nanopayments protocol for machine-to-machine transactions.

Circle said the nanopayments infrastructure supports gas-free $USDC ($USDC) transfers as small as $0.000001 and is designed for high-frequency autonomous payment flows between software systems.

The company said the tools are built to allow AI agents to transact autonomously within predefined permissions, spending controls and policy guardrails across supported blockchains and payment networks.

The rollout also includes Circle CLI, a command interface for developers and AI agents building applications on Circle’s platform, and Agent Wallets, which the company said are designed for agents to hold, send and manage funds independently.

Circle is the issuer of the $USDC stablecoin, the second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization with roughly $78 billion in circulation, according to DeFiLlama data. Shares of Circle (CRCL) were up around 18% in midday trading and more than 51% over the past month.

Stablecoins emerge as payment rails for AI agents

Circle’s launch comes as crypto companies increasingly position stablecoins and blockchain networks as financial infrastructure for AI agents.

In March, MoonPay released an open-source wallet standard designed to let AI agents manage funds and execute transactions across blockchains through a shared wallet framework with built-in policy controls and encrypted key storage. That same month, BitGo launched an A

Ripple's Schwartz Joins XRP Ledger Foundation
The $XRP Ledger Foundation (XRPLF) has officially announced a major addition to its leadership ranks, welcoming Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz as an Honorary Board Member.

The appointment brings one of the most prominent and deeply knowledgeable figures in the cryptocurrency space directly into the fold of the independent non-profit tasked with fostering the XRPL ecosystem.

The Foundation announced the news via X (formerly Twitter), highlighting Schwartz’s foundational role in the creation of the network.

"We’re honored to welcome David Schwartz (@JoelKatz) as an Honorary Board Member of the $XRP Ledger Foundation," the organization stated. "As one of the original architects of the $XRP Ledger, David brings deep technical insight and a long-term perspective that will help strengthen the Foundation’s technical stewardship of the ecosystem."

The original architect

Schwartz, known affectionately across the crypto community by his handle "@JoelKatz," is a legendary figure within the $XRP ecosystem. In 2011, alongside Arthur Britto and Jed McCaleb, Schwartz was a core developer who built the original code for the $XRP Ledger—designing it as a faster, more energy-efficient alternative to the Bitcoin blockchain.

Currently serving as the CTO of Ripple, Schwartz has remained the most vocal and technically authoritative advocate for the XRPL, frequently engaging with developers, validators, and community members on social media to debate protocol mechanics and future upgrades.

Strengthening technical stewardship

The $XRP Ledger Foundation operates as an independent, non-profit entity separate from Ripple. Its primary mandate is to support the growth, security, and decentralized development of the $XRP Ledger. This includes managing core code repositories, maintaining a publisher Unique Node List (UNL) for validators, and supporting global developer initiatives.

Can MORPHO outgrow Aave after its TVL jumps to $11.78B?



MORPHO reached a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $11.78 billion, becoming the number two lender. This development came as most DeFi protocols struggled after a broader sector disruption from the KelpDAO’s hack.



The hack left Aave Protocol, which leads the lending sector by DeFi TVL, with bad debt of $200 million, while MORPHO’s exposure was only $1 million across two isolated markets.

Consequently, users started migrating to other protocols like SparkLend, which they deemed safer. Such observations suggested that MORPHO could outgrow Aave, though the certainty of when was undetermined.

Bank of Japan rate-hike pressure grows as oil shock puts Bitcoin at risk

Bank of Japan board members called for swift interest rate hikes if inflation risks from the Iran war and energy shock persist, raising pressure on Japan’s crypto market.

Minutes from the BOJ’s March meeting, released May 7, showed many board members supporting hikes if elevated oil prices continued to feed broader inflation.

One member said the BOJ should raise rates “without long intervals.” Another argued for tightening “without hesitation” if the economy avoided major damage from the conflict.

The April Summary of Opinions, released May 11, reinforced that tone. One member said the central bank should “act decisively” on further rate increases if price pressures intensify.

At its April 27-28 meeting, the BOJ kept its policy rate at 0.75% on a 6-3 vote, with board members Hajime Takata, Naoki Tamura, and Junko Nakagawa pushing for an immediate hike to 1.0%.

Why Japan rates are a Bitcoin risk

As Cryptopolitan reported in January, Governor Kazuo Ueda has signaled a willingness to keep raising rates as economic activity and inflation strengthen.

Every BOJ rate hike since 2024 has triggered sharp Bitcoin selloffs. The July 31, 2024, hike to 0.25% caused the yen to appreciate from 160 to below 140 against the dollar, with Bitcoin falling from $65,000 to $50,000 within a week, a 23% decline.

The January 2025 hike to 0.50% drove a 25% to 31% Bitcoin drop over 20 days. Each move unwound yen carry trade positions and forced liquidations across leveraged crypto holdings.

Barclays Fixed Income, Forex, and Commodities Research and overnight index swap markets are pricing a 74% probability of a BOJ rate hike at the June meeting.

Oil and yen weakness raise BOJ pressure

The BOJ sharply raised its FY2026 inflation forecast to 2.8% from 1.9%, citing elevated oil prices from the Iran conflict and continued yen weakness.

The growth forecast was lowered to 0.5% from

Circle stock rallies 15% as Wall Street sees further upside in stablecoin adoption
Shares of stablecoin issuer Circle surged Monday after the company reported mostly upbeat earnings and disclosed that a major crypto venture capital fund had purchased $222 million worth of its blockchain tokens.

Circle’s shares rose almost 16% to close at $131.76, its highest level since March 18, according to Yahoo Finance. CRCL stock gave back some of its gains in initial after-hours activity.

The gain extends Circle’s strong run in 2026. Shares are now up 66% year to date, giving the company a market capitalization of roughly $35 billion.
