Wall Street behemoth Morgan Stanley has launched its long-awaited crypto trading pilot on its E*Trade platform, aiming to challenge major established players with competitive pricing.

Morgan Stanley Debuts Crypto Trading Pilot
Baking giant Morgan Stanley has rolled out a pilot to offer direct crypto trading on its E*Trade platform, with cheaper pricing than its competition, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, the bank is charging E*Trade users a 50-basis-point fee on the transaction value, placing its prices below those of other major players. For instance, Robinhood’s fees start at 95 basis points, while Coinbase and Charles Schwab’s fees start at 60 and 75 basis points, respectively.

Morgan Stanley is currently offering its crypto trading pilot to a limited number of users, but expects to give access to all of E*Trade’s 8.6 million clients later this year. Jed Finn, Morgan Stanley’s head of wealth management, said in an interview that the launch is “much bigger than trading crypto at a cheaper rate,” adding that “the strategy is disintermediating the disintermediators.”

The banking giant bought E*Trade in 2020 for $13 billion. In May 2025, it introduced plans to allow crypto trading on the platform, following the Trump administration’s efforts to make the US “the crypto capital of the world.”

People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that executives are preparing an offering to directly convert cryptocurrencies into shares of exchange-traded products (ETPs) without selling the assets. In addition, the bank reportedly plans to add the ability to trade tokenized equities in the second half of 2026.

HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

A group of activist investors (or treasury “raiders,” depending on who you ask) are proposing a treasury redemption program for $GNO tokenholders.

Should proposal GIP-150, which calls for “a one-time, opt-in pro-rata treasury redemption,” pass, those in favor would receive a share of the over $220 million held by the “well-capitalized” treasury.

This move comes less than six months after Gnosis DAO voted to fire its former treasury manager KPK.

The proposal’s author, who goes by Wismerhill argues that $GNO trades at a “persistent and widening discount” to the value of the Gnosis DAO treasury.

Despite $22.5 million of recent DAO funding to Gnosis Ltd, this “discount to NAV has widened” and value accrual to $GNO has been “minimal,” they add.

Voting is currently underway and runs until May 12. Despite a significant early lead for those voting in favor, 65% of the 330,000 votes cast are currently against the proposal.

RFV Raiders are back. Gnosis DAO is the new target.

It's a fun game, but first… a reminder:

In 2023 Real Value Raiders took down Rook (5x return), Tribe (Fei wind-down), and you'll probably remember they pushed Aragon to repurpose its treasury (they fought back).

Pro-rata calculations would be based on 1.3 million eligible $GNO tokens, excluding tokens held by Gnosis Ltd, which the proposal argues “already operates with DAO funding.”

This would produce a redemption value of approximately $170 per token, almost 30% above $GNO’s current market price of $131.

DeFi commentator and $GNO holder Ignas admits, “the RFV logic has a point” but also points out that “this is pure arbitrage trade, not some moral mission.” They voted against the proposal.

Ethereum Foundation DeFi coordinator “ivangbi” agrees that if $GNO isn’t advertised as having its “bottom price line protected by the assets,” holders have no “moral” right to the tre

IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN) has announced revenue fell to $144.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, down from $184.7 million in the prior quarter, as weaker Bitcoin economics collided with its ongoing buildout of AI Cloud capacity.

The drop was $39.9 million, tied to a lower average Bitcoin price and the removal of older mining machines before new GPU systems began generating full customer billing.

The bottom line was uglier. IREN reported a net loss of $247.8 million, compared with a $155.4 million loss in Q2 FY26. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $59.5 million from $75.3 million. Costs also came down by $25.9 million, mainly because reduced mining activity lowered power use.

The quarter carried $140.4 million in non-cash impairments, mostly from retired mining hardware, and $23.7 million in unrealized losses tied to capped calls linked to convertible notes.IREN signed a five-year, $3.4 billion AI Cloud contract with NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) covering air-cooled Blackwell GPUs. The company plans to place that hardware inside 60MW of existing data center space at Childress, with customer ramp-up expected from early 2027.

Daniel Roberts, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of IREN, said, “The world is structurally short compute, and the bottleneck is delivered data center and GPU capacity.” After that, Daniel said the quarter included work across power, land, data center construction, and large-scale compute delivery.

The company also entered a wider 5GW partnership with NVIDIA. That agreement covers data center designs and infrastructure built around NVIDIA systems across IREN’s global power base. IREN also gave NVIDIA a five-year right to buy up to 30 million ordinary shares at $70 each, which could bring in up to $2.1 billion if all conditions are met, including regulatory approvals.

$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

DEX activity declined in April, extending an overall downward trend. The liquidity outflows and volume declines affected both spot and futures markets.

DEX activity dipped again in April, extending the overall downward trend since October 2025. Trading on DEX reflects crypto sentiment for native traders, as well as general interest in long-tail assets.

In April, total DEX volumes reached $166.78B, the lowest level since August 2024, according to DeFi Llama data.

DEX trading is now around 59% lower than the October 2025 peak, reflecting the generally weaker sentiment in the crypto market.

As of early 2025, DEX volumes still outperformed results for January, February, and March of the past five years. In April, however, DEX volumes fell below the levels from 2025 and 2024, stalling the expansion trend.

DEX activity makes up 14.57% of centralized trading, standing within its usual range. The ratio is preserved due to the outflow of traders from centralized markets.

Why did liquidity flow out of DEX trading?

The main reason for the slowdown comes from Uniswap and PancakeSwap, the two most widely used DEXs. Traders shifted to Hyperliquid and HIP-3, gaining exposure to perpetual futures for stocks, gold, and oil.

The idea of decentralized trading remains, but activity shifted from token swaps to other markets. Token hype diminished, and memes no longer attracted speculative trading. Some DEXs were still used for the most liquid crypto assets, or for swaps between stablecoins.
DEX activity also reflected the more stagnant crypto sentiment. Traders no longer expected hype to lift all tokens. Instead, only specific assets rallied, supported by market makers and deliberate liquidity providers.

Overall, liquid

Sharplink vs. BitMine

Instead of merely holding Ethereum, Sharplink is transforming its holdings into a yield-generating engine, gradually adding more Ethereum to its balance over time.

Additionally, Sharplink has also gained a total of 868,699 ETH – Valued at $2.09 billion. This amounts to almost 0.720% of the total amount of Ethereum.

Though this is not as much as BitMine Immersion technology, it is still comparable. For its part, BitMine has amassed 5,180,131 ETH, which is valued at $12.48 billion – Highlighting intense competition. 

On the other hand, BitMine has staked 87.9% of its total holdings, bringing the total amount of ETH staked to 4,553,557 ETH at a value of $10.77 billion, as previously reported by AMBCrypto.

As expected, the announcement had a positive impact on the stock price of $SEBT, which was trading at $7.85 in the pre-market after a hike of 3.35%.

According to Market Analyst Samson Mow, Strategy Selling Bitcoin Isn’t a Bad Thing—Here’s Why

Samson Mow made noteworthy statements regarding Strategy’s remarks that it could sell Bitcoin if necessary.

Mow argued that it was “not a bad thing” for a Bitcoin treasury company to sell $BTC when circumstances required it, saying the main goal should be to protect shareholders and provide flexibility to the company.

According to Mow, the “never sell Bitcoin” approach restricts companies’ room for maneuver. Describing public markets as a “battlefield,” Mow stated that a company sticking to only one strategy can create an advantage for short-positioning investors and arbitrageurs. He argued that Strategy’s ability to utilize different tools such as selling, hedging, or issuing new shares when necessary makes the company more resilient to market attacks.

Mow also recalled that his previously designed Bitcoin bond model included planned $BTC sales. He explained that after a five-year lock-in period, the issuer would sell $BTC, providing investors with a return on capital. Mow stated that Strategy’s STRC structure follows a similar logic, adding that both models reduce Bitcoin volatility while offering investors upside potential.

In his statements, Mow also drew attention to Michael Saylor’s previous posts, recalling that Saylor had said in April that “dividends could be met without issuing new MSTR shares as long as Bitcoin’s annual growth remains above approximately 2.05%.” According to Mow, this statement indicated that $BTC could be sold to fund dividend payments if necessary.

Mow stated that the saying “Don’t sell your Bitcoin” is a general guideline for individual investors, but it doesn’t mean “never sell until you die.” $HTX

Coinbase reports $394M Q1 loss as stock declines 5% after hours amid trading slowdown


Coinbase shares declined about 5% in after hours trading Thursday after the crypto exchange reported a first quarter loss and weaker revenue as trading activity slowed across the market.

The company posted $1.4 billion in total revenue, $756 million in transaction revenue, and a $394 million net loss for Q1 2026.

The results marked a sharp reversal from the same period last year, when Coinbase reported a profit of $65.6 million. Revenue fell from $2.03 billion a year earlier, while analysts had expected about $1.49 billion.

Coinbase said total crypto market volumes and spot volumes both fell more than 20% quarter over quarter, while low volatility suppressed trading activity, particularly in longer tail assets. The company said transaction revenue fell 23% quarter over quarter, outperforming broader market volume declines.

Subscription and services revenue reached $584 million, accounting for 44% of net revenue. Stablecoin revenue totaled $305 million, driven by $USDC market cap growth and record average $USDC held in Coinbase products of $19 billion.

The company also pointed to growth in newer business lines. Retail derivatives annualized revenue topped $200 million, while prediction markets reached more than $100 million in annualized revenue in March, its first two full months live.

Coinbase reported $303 million in adjusted EBITDA, marking its 13th consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. The company also ended the quarter with $10.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and said it had $12 billion in available resources, including $1.8 billion in crypto and marketable investments.

For Q2, Coinbase said transaction revenue was about $215 million quarter to date through May 5 and guided subscription and services revenue between $565 million and

Ripple risks deeper pullback below $1.40 despite capital inflows


Ripple ($XRP) is grinding lower toward the $1.40 short-term support area at the time of writing on Thursday. The correction from the weekly high at $1.46, reached the previous day, aligns with the broader crypto market, which has seen Bitcoin (BTC) test support at $80,000 after hitting a three-month high at $82,850.

Stable ETF inflows, retail growth support $XRP

Market participants have maintained confidence in $XRP, increasing exposure through spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and derivatives. After facing volatility last week, US-listed $XRP spot ETFs recorded increasing inflows from Monday’s $3.87 million, Tuesday’s $11.28 million and Wednesday’s $13.03 million. SoSoValue data shows that cumulative inflows now average $1.32 billion, with net assets under management at $1.11 billion.

The increase in demand for $XRP ETFs aligns with rising market sentiment, as reflected in the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which holds at 47 on Thursday, marginally up from 46 the day before. Sustained price rallies in crypto markets are typically underpinned by robust demand and persistently positive investor sentiment.

Toncoin $TON has rallied more than 110% in the past week, climbing from around $1.35 to a four-month high near $2.89. The catalyst was a single post from Telegram founder Pavel Durov on May 4, announcing that @telegram itself is taking direct control of The Open Network and stepping in as its largest validator. The move ends years of arms-length distance between the messaging app and the blockchain it originally built.
