More than 4 million ETH is already deployed in staking programs, generating yield while reducing liquid supply. The company’s broader plan targets holding a larger share of Ethereum supply. Reports indicate a strategy aimed at securing up to 5% of total ETH over time through continued purchases and staking. This approach combines accumulation with yield generation.

Bitcoin ETFs saw $14.76M inflows as Blackrock IBIT added $26.61M after a 3-day slump.

Ether ETFs lost $23.64M, led by Blackrock ETHA’s $50.57M outflow in 4th straight drop.

XRP and Solana ETFs lost $5.83M and $1.24M, respectively, with potential for inflows only returning if bitcoin rebound holds.

The mood across crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) shifted again, though not in unison. Bitcoin products edged back into positive territory, but the rebound was narrow and uneven beneath the surface.

Bitcoin ETFs posted a net inflow of $14.76 million, breaking a three-day run of outflows. The headline figure, however, masked persistent selling across several funds. Valkyrie’s BRR led the exits with $8.62 million, followed by Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB at $6.34 million and Grayscale’s GBTC at $5.94 million. Invesco’s BTCO, Bitwise’s BITB, and Vaneck’s HODL also recorded smaller outflows.

The turnaround came from two heavyweight issuers. Blackrock’s IBIT drew in $26.61 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC added $19.05 million, more than offsetting the broader selling pressure. Trading activity remained steady at $1.40 billion, with total net assets climbing back to $100.53 billion.Ether ETFs told a different story. The group extended its losing streak to four consecutive days, with net outflows of $23.64 million. Blackrock’s ETHA accounted for the bulk of the decline, shedding $50.57 million. Additional outflows were seen in Bitwise’s ETHW, Grayscale’s ETHE, and Fidelity’s FETH.

There were, however, pockets of demand. Blackrock’s ETHB attracted $29.10 million, continuing to serve as a key inflow channel, while Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust added $4.72 million. These gains softened but did not reverse the overall negative flow. Trading volumes came in at $339.87 million, with net assets ending at $13.25 billion.

XRP faces stiff resistance above $1.40
XRP’s recent 18% rally from its local low at $1.27 reached on April 5 was stopped at $1.48, coinciding with the upper boundary of a symmetrical triangle. 

This trend line has suppressed the price since early February, as shown in the chart below. 

Bulls must push the price above the $1.40-$1.45 resistance zone to confirm a bullish breakout from the triangle. This area is also where the 50-day exponential moving average, the 100-day simple moving average and the upper trend line of the triangle sit, reinforcing the significance of this resistance zone.According to XRP’s cost-basis distribution data, investors hold approximately 2 billion XRP at an average cost of $1.40-$1.45, creating a potential resistance zone. This concentration suggests many investors may sell at break-even, potentially stalling XRP’s upward momentum.
A break above this supply area could open the way for a rally toward the measured target of the triangle at $2.10, about 50% above the current price. 

In a Friday post on X, analyst ChartNerd said a big move was brewing for XRP price once resistance above $1.40 is “cleared
As Cointelegraph reported, the XRP/USD pair was required to hold the $1.27 support and rise above the moving averages around $1.40 to signal a trend change.

Can Ethereum Price Hold $2,300 Next Week?

ETH’s current setup offers little comfort. At $2,300, the asset sits just below its SMA 5 of $2,308, SMA 10 at $2,320, and its SMA 21 at $2,312. Critically, its 200-day moving average, $2,755, is also flashing sell signals. The only technical bright spots are the SMA 50 and SMA 100, which are currently providing marginal support from below.Arguably, Ethereum and the whole crypto market have been flatlining sideways for months now, signaling potential seller exhaustion. But exhaustion alone doesn’t produce a reversal. But then again, the Moving Averages indicator shows buy.
Derivatives compound the concern with long positions dominating futures, but negative funding rates indicate waning conviction behind those longs.

The current play will depends if ETH can hold its $2,200 support. If it is, the Ethereum price would likely stabilize above $2,300 and retest $2,400. A consolidation above $2,400 opens a longer path toward $2,700 recovery targets.However, if the root cause of the vulnerability isn’t identified quickly, security premiums will narrow and asset rotation will accelerate.

Microsoft and OpenAl restructured their landmark 2019 partnership on April 27, converting Microsoft's cloud license from exclusive to non-exclusive, allowing OpenAl to sell its full model suite on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud for the first time, as Amazon CEO Andy Jassy confirmed OpenAl models will arrive on AWS Bedrock within weeks. Summary OpenAl Microsoft exclusivity is gone: the new terms give Microsoft a non-exclusive licence to OpenAl's IP through 2032, while OpenAl remains obligated to ship new models to Microsoft stops paying its revenue s Al immediately, while OpenAl continues paying Microsoft through 2030 subject to an undisclosed total cap. The restructuring resolves the legal conflict triggered by OpenAl's $50 billion Amazon investment in February, which had granted AWS exclusive third-party cloud distribution for OpenAl's enterprise platform Frontier. OpenAl Microsoft released a joint statement on April 27 announcing the partnership overhaul that ends seven years of effective Azure exclusivity. As crypto.news reported, OpenAl's models and its Codex agent are already available to AWS customers through Amazon Bedrock, with Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAl allowing enterprises to build autonomous Al agents within AWS infrastructure.

DeFi Yield vs Traditional Gold Investing: How They Compare in 2026Gold reached an all-time high of $5,589.38 per ounce on January 28, 2026, before settling into a $4,500 to $5,000 range through Q1. Central banks bought 244 tonnes in the first quarter alone, and total quarterly demand hit a record $193 billion according to the World Gold Council.

For investors holding gold, the cycle has paid off in price terms. But 2026 is also the first year when investors can earn yield in gold through on-chain protocols. 

Returns are now distributed to gold holders monthly or quarterly, generated from sources outside price movement. That shifts the question for any gold allocation: not whether to own it, but how. 

This piece compares two approaches: traditional gold investing through familiar vehicles like physical bullion and ETFs, and DeFi gold yield products built on gold-backed crypto. The comparison covers what each pays and where each fits in a portfolio.

The Two Ways Gold Pays in 2026
The two approaches share an underlying asset and build markedly different exposure profiles around it.

Traditional gold investing brings decades of regulatory infrastructure and deep liquidity in the largest products. DeFi gold yield is newer and smaller, but pays income that traditional gold cannot. Each section below covers one path.

Traditional Gold Investing in 2026
Traditional gold exposure runs through four main vehicles, each with different cost structures and access points.

Physical Bullion
Bars and coins held directly or through allocated storage give the most direct ownership without counterparty risk. 

The cost is storage and insurance, typically 0.3% to 1% per year for vaulted holdings. Tax treatment depends heavily on jurisdiction, with collectibles tax rates applying in some countries and standard capital gains in others. Resale spreads can also drag total returns.

Gold ETFs
ETFs dominate retail gold exposure. The SPDR Gold S
