Cardano (ADA)’s price appears to be regaining bullish momentum alongside other major cryptocurrency assets across the market, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This renewed upward performance of ADA is attributed to multiple factors, such as a broader market recovery and potentially the recent uptick in whale activity.

ADA Faces Key Test After Accumulation Surge
With the market environment slowly turning bullish once again, the price of Cardano is exhibiting upside action, approaching the $0.25 mark. Despite this upward move, the altcoin is now being faced by significant resistance that may serve as a trigger for more upside activity or downside trend.

After examining the chart on the 3-day time frame, Ali Chartz, a seasoned crypto analyst and trader, outlined that Cardano is currently approaching a decisive moment that could dictate its next move. Ali stated that the altcoin has returned to a make-or-break point, located at the $0.243 level.

Currently, the price seems to be tightening around this key area. Here, the support and resistance dynamics are expected to dictate the next significant direction as indicated by the market expert. According to Ali, this make-or-break zone has historically acted as the ultimate pivot for ADA’s trend.

This is backed by past scenarios where hitting this level becomes the launchpad for significant rebounds. At this point, a continued upward action falls into the bulls’ hands. If these investors can defend this floor, the positioning could set the stage for a relief rally toward the $0.03 resistance.

However, when ADA fails to hold here and loses the zone on a daily close, it would be a major structural failure and shift into a bearish phase. Ali highlighted that the breakdown here could expose ADA to a deeper correction, potentially testing the yearly lows near the

Bitcoin stalls below $76,000 as sell wall caps rally despite rising derivatives activity


Bitcoin is testing $76,000 for a third day, trading at $75,440 as bullish traders continue to chip away at $450 million of sell orders between $75,900 and $76,300, CoinGlass data shows.

The orders will be placed by traders who are either attempting to short the range-high in expectation of a reversion to around $68,000, and those defending against a breakout with liquidation risk above.

U.S. equities surged to record highs on Thursday as the war in Iran appears to be winding down following a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

The crypto market outperformed equities since the start of the war, and is now taking a back seat.

Derivatives positioning

Activity in the crypto futures market has picked up, with bitcoin briefly topping $76,000 during European trading hours. Total market volume has risen 28% to $225.8 billion, while open interest (OI) has edged up over 1.5% to $126.68 billion.

More notably, total liquidations have surged 140% to $529 million, with short positions slightly exceeding longs, suggesting a mild short squeeze and building of upward pressure in the market.

Solana's $SOL is leading the growth in OI among the biggest cryptocurrencies. In 24 hours, the number of active contracts in Solana futures has increased by 11% to 5.53 billion $SOL, the most since March 18. Dogecoin is another standout, with OI hovering at the six-month high of 14.17 billion DOGE.

$SOL’s capital inflows appear to be driven by rising appetite for bullish positioning, with the positive funding rates and 24-hour OI-adjusted cumulative volume delta (CVD) signaling increasingly aggressive buying pressure.

Signals for dogecoin remain mixed, as a positive CVD points to buying pressure, while slightly negative funding rates suggest lingering bearish sentiment among deriv

The crypto industry is facing another wave of security incidents.
Since the massive ~$280 million exploit of Drift Protocol on April 1, more than 12 DeFi protocols and crypto platforms have been targeted in rapid succession. The attacks have ranged from smart contract vulnerabilities to oracle manipulation, liquidity pool exploits, and access control failures.
Among the affected projects are CoW Swap, Hyperbridge, Bybit, Silo Finance, Zerion, and others—highlighting how widespread and persistent these incidents have become.
One of the most notable recent cases is Rhea Finance, which lost around $7.6 million after attackers exploited its margin trading system. The exploit involved fake token contracts and liquidity manipulation that reportedly confused oracle and validation layers.
At the same time, a Russia-linked exchange suspended operations after a separate multi-million-dollar breach, while other protocols including bridge aggregators and GPU computing networks also reported losses earlier in the month.
Security analysts warn that the threat landscape is evolving quickly. Some attacks linked to DPRK-affiliated groups are increasingly using AI-assisted social engineering tactics to steal credentials and gain system access—making traditional defenses less effective.
According to on-chain data, DeFi protocols have already lost over $168 million across dozens of incidents in just the first quarter of 2026.
Bottom line:
DeFi security is entering a new phase where technical exploits and AI-powered social engineering are combining to create faster, larger, and more coordinated attacks.

# Blockchain Forum 2026, Beaten-down digital asset treasury names lead crypto stock surge as bitcoin hits $78,00

Crypto-linked stocks surged Friday, led by a sharp rally in beaten-down digital asset treasury firms, as progress toward ending the Iran war jolted risk assets, sending bitcoin to a two-month high of $78,000.

U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that Iran committed to keeping open the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy markets.

"Iran has just announced that the Strait… is fully open and ready for full passage," Trump said in a Truth Social post, adding that peace talks between the countries were progressing. Reports that the U.S. is considering unfreezing $20 billion in Iranian assets and Trump's remarks about acquiring Iran's enriched uranium further boosted sentiment.

As the headlines helped calm fears of a prolonged energy shock, crude oil tanked 13% to near $80 per barrel.

Risk-on signal

"The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is the risk-on signal the global markets have been waiting for," said Matt Mena, senior crypto research strategist at digital 21shares.

"By removing one of the most significant geopolitical chokepoints in the world, Iran has effectively uncorked a massive wave of liquidity and investor confidence," he added. "With oil nose diving below $85 for the first time in a month, inflation fears may finally come to an end."

Bitcoin climbed to $78,000, breaking out from a two-month range that capped prices since early February and up nearly 5% over the past 24 hours.

The move rippled across the broader cryptocurrency prices higher, with major altcoins ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and $XRP ($XRP) posting 4%-5% gains.

Looking at crypto-related equities, the biggest winners were crypto treasury firms — companies that hold digital assets on their balance sheets — which had been heavily battered in recent months.

UBS Expects 50 bps Fed Rate Cuts as Gov Miran Downplays Inflation Risks

UBS predicts 50 bps Fed rate cuts later this year.

Fed's Stephen Miran and Trump-nominated Fed Chair Kevin Warsh could push for more rate cuts.

Stocks, Bitcoin and crypto market would rally amid positive macro tailwinds.

Wall Street banking giant UBS forecasts further Fed rate cuts later this year. This comes as Fed Governor Stephen Miran claims the US-Iran war and tariffs will not have long-term impacts on inflation, but expects three rate cuts instead of four in 2026. Bitcoin and gold will rise further if the Federal Reserve proceeds with more rate cuts this year. The broader crypto market will follow, with the S&P 500 hitting new highs.

The U.S. Federal Reserve would deliver 50 bps rate cuts later this year, UBS reported in the latest insights. Economists at the bank, including those in Global Wealth Management, project two 25 bps reductions potentially in September and December.

Anthropic CEO to meet top Trump aide today amid Pentagon dispute



Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is set to enter the West Wing on Friday for a meeting with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, in what could mark a turning point in the company’s dispute with the Pentagon over its advanced AI systems, Axios reported.

The Trump administration is weighing the significance of Anthropic’s Claude model, Mythos, a new frontier AI model focused on cybersecurity.

Mythos is seen as highly advanced and potentially capable of breaching cybersecurity defenses. The AI system, unveiled earlier this month, can scan software, detect serious security flaws, and even figure out how those flaws could be exploited, often with minimal human input.

The latest development comes as Anthropic continues its lawsuit against the Pentagon after being blacklisted for refusing to allow unrestricted use of its AI.

Anthropic had drawn two firm lines. Its models would not be used for mass domestic surveillance. And they would not power fully autonomous weapons systems. These have been core to the company’s identity since its founding in 2021, when a group of researchers left OpenAI specifically because they believed AI development needed stronger ethical boundaries.

After the Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic, the company filed suit. A federal appeals court rejected its initial bid to block the blacklist, but the legal battle continues.

Meanwhile, Anthropic pivoted to a parallel political strategy, hiring Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm with deep ties to Trump’s inner circle.

Despite the legal standoff, multiple US agencies including elements of the intelligence community and CISA are already testing Mythos, with additional interest from Treasury.

The new model demonstrates the ability to identify zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers. The Treasur

Bitcoin’s ceasefire boost is starting to fizzle out as investors look for real-world results


Bitcoin's price action signals the momentum from U.S.–Iran ceasefire headlines is fading and markets are looking for substantive progress that could unwind war-driven stress across the global economy.

The largest cryptocurrency briefly topped $76,000 early today, only to fall back in a repeat of Tuesday's choppy pattern. The stall follows a 10% climb, predominantly driven by news of the Iran-U.S. ceasefire from a week ago.

However, while optimism persists and President Donald Trump suggests the conflict is nearing an end, progress in negotiations to restore oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that accounted for 20% of global flows before the war began, remains limited.

"A ceasefire extension alone is no longer enough. Markets need tangible progress such as restored energy flows, compression in crude premia, and clearer disinflation," QCP Capital, one of the largest digital asset market makers in the world, said in an email.

"Until then, this remains a story of partial normalization rather than full repair. Constructive, but not yet comfortable."

Traders should keep an eye on oil prices, as signs of normalization are likely to be evident in energy markets first. WTI recently traded near the weekly low of $87.50 and Brent around $90, a level it has held since April 8.

The continued decline in bitcoin and ether's 30-day implied volatility indexes suggests traders expect material progress soon.

In the meantime, solana (SOL) and could see increased volatility as open futures contracts tied to these tokens have climbed to multiweek highs. The increases point to rising demand for leveraged exposure, which often amplifies price swings through liquidations and heightened market turbulence.
