Representative James Baird won the Republican primary for Indiana’s 4th Congressional District, keeping his reelection campaign on track before the 2026 midterms.  Summary Baird won Indiana’s Republican primary after crypto-linked PAC Defend American Jobs spent heavily supporting him. Fairshake’s political network is targeting 2026 races to support candidates backing crypto market rules. The victory comes as lawmakers debate the CLARITY Act and stablecoin yield rules in Washington. Decision Desk HQ data showed Baird ahead with 35,805 votes, or 60.28%, while Craig Haggard had 18,256 votes, or 30.73%. John Piper followed with 5,340 votes. The race drew attention from the crypto sector because Baird received support from Defend American Jobs, a political action committee linked to Fairshake. Crypto.news reported that the PAC spent about $514,000 on media buys to support Baird before the Indiana primary.

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in May 2026 during his first trip to China in eight years, as tensions between the world’s two largest economies continue to reshape global trade, technology, and energy markets.Since Trump returned to the White House in 2025, Washington and Beijing have engaged in an intense economic rivalry marked by tariffs, sanctions, export controls, and strategic negotiations. In May 2026, China invoked its anti-sanctions law in response to U.S. blacklisting measures targeting Chinese refineries accused of purchasing Iranian oil. Beijing warned domestic firms against complying with American sanctions, signaling a tougher stance against U.S. pressure.The dispute intensified in April after China’s State Council granted authorities broader powers to investigate foreign entities accused of disrupting supply chains or applying discriminatory trade measures. Chinese officials also explored tighter export restrictions on advanced solar panel manufacturing equipment destined for the United States. Meanwhile, Washington imposed sanctions on several Chinese refineries linked to Iranian oil imports.Despite rising tensions, both sides maintained diplomatic engagement. Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer held several rounds of trade talks described as “constructive.” Discussions covered tariffs, semiconductor exports, rare earth minerals, shipping restrictions, and agricultural trade.Throughout 2025, the trade conflict escalated sharply after Trump introduced sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs on imports from China. Beijing retaliated with countermeasures and restrictions on rare earth exports, causing tariffs on both sides to surpass 100%. Temporary truces later eased some pressure, with agreements involving soybean

Ripple Chief Technology Emeritus Officer David "JoelKatz" Schwartz has admitted to intentionally holding back his true optimism regarding XRP and the broader digital asset market.  Advertisement Schwartz is hesitant to share his opinions because his enthusiasm could be misconstrued as market manipulation. Known for his candid interactions with the crypto community, the Ripple veteran recently expressed regret over the stifling effect his prominent position has on his ability to speak freely.

Trump American Bitcoin Crypto Lost $45M. Here’s What the Math Actually Shows.

The core problem is structural. American Bitcoin’s average cost to mine one Bitcoin sits at approximately $68,000 per coin, against a spot price that briefly touched $81,425, leaving a razor-thin margin that evaporates the moment energy costs spike or hashrate efficiency lags.

The firm’s fleet efficiency stands at 18 J/TH, compared to Marathon Digital’s 14 J/TH, meaning ABTC burns meaningfully more power per unit of computational work. That gap compounds daily.

Revenue dropped 41% year-over-year in Q1 2026, and operational hashrate fell from 10 EH/s to 7.2 EH/s – a 28% contraction that directly cut Bitcoin output.

The company mined 4,500 BTC across all of 2025 at that $68,000 average cost, according to company filings, while simultaneously carrying $200 million-plus in debt servicing from Texas and Wyoming facility expansions.

Q4 2025 alone produced a $59.5 million net loss on a $70 million equipment impairment as Bitcoin dropped 23% from $105,000 to $81,000.

Energy costs are the structural anchor. Glassnode data puts ABTC’s average energy rate at approximately $0.045/kWh, the upper ceiling of what domestic miners can sustain in the current post-halving epoch.

That is not bad luck. That is the April 2024 halving working exactly as designed, cutting block rewards in half while U.S. energy costs have risen 35% since 2025, per TipRanks analyst James Thorne’s February 28, 2026 assessment.

In this articleHello, this is Leonie Kidd writing to you from London. Welcome to another edition of CNBC's Daily Open. Amid a plethora of global market forces, sometimes an unlikely trend emerges. The strength of South Korea's Kospi is one of those moments, logging a remarkable set of returns since the start of the year. But the Iran war continues to loom large over markets, with the near-daily decisions from the White House keeping investors on edge.It's only the start of May, and already South Korea's Kospi has surged over 70% since the start of the year. Today's trading adds to those gains, driving the index above 7,000 to a fresh record high. The surge is supported by Samsung. Shares jumped more than 15% Wednesday, pushing the chip giant's market capitalization past the $1 trillion mark as investors continued to pile into artificial intelligence-linked stocks.Samsung is the second Asian company to cross the $1 trillion mark, after TSMC, which first crossed that threshold on Feb. 26, according to FactSet data.Samsung's stock has breached a record high and is on course for the largest single-day gain on record, data from FactSet showed.Broader equity markets are higher, after U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is pausing "Project Freedom," the U.S. military's effort to guide commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, one day after the operation began.Trump, in a Truth Social post, said the decision was based in part on "the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement" with Iran.Project Freedom "will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed," Trump wrote.China hosted Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Wednesday for the first time since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israel war on Tehran, just days before Trump's scheduled visit to Beijing.Wang Y

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure A crypto pundit has revealed five major investment plans for long-term XRP holders. The plan, shared publicly on X this week, outlines several key points to help investors make the most of their holdings and position themselves for potential gains. With the crypto market showing renewed volatility even as the XRP price remains in a downtrend, the insights from these points could positively shape investment decisions for some holders in the months ahead. Analyst Urges Patience And Security In XRP HoldingOn May 5, Vincent Van Code, a well-known crypto analyst, took to X to outline a unique plan he created for investors who hold XRP as a long-term investment. The first three plans focus on security and patience as investors hold their bags. Related Reading: Crypto Market Still In Fear After Historical Lows, But Can Bitcoin And Ethereum Recover?Van Code strongly recommends that investors keep their XRP in personal wallets where they alone own and control the keys. He noted that sending coins to exchanges or third-party services regularly exposes XRP holders to unnecessary risks. As such, he urges investors not to risk their safety for a small percentage of return. Van Code also recommends being patient enough as investors hold for the long term. While it can be frustrating to see steady, low-price action even when other cryptocurrencies in the market are gaining, the analyst urges investors to make investment decisions with a clear head. He pointed out that although XRP has already achieved major gains, surging by 5x over the past months, investors should resist the urge to liquidate early. Speaking on his own investments, Van Code said that he has also benefited significantly from XRP’s growth but does not plan to withdraw his holdings prematurely.
