The Filecoin price has displayed a sharp rally over the past couple of days. In the past week alone, the altcoin surged more than 80% and broke past several levels of resistance. On the daily chart, FIL appreciated by 24%.


On the development front, Filecoin is targeting the launch of a Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) in the upcoming month. This development will offer smart contract capabilities. This upgrade will help to amplify and accelerate the token’s value over the coming days.


The technical outlook of Filecoin has remained extremely bullish, with a major surge in demand. Buyers were in excess in number as both demand and accumulation for the altcoin shot up substantially over the past two weeks.


It is, however, too early to predict whether Filecoin’s price will continue to rise, as a price correction cannot be ruled out. FIL has to remain above a few important price levels if the coin has to maintain a positive stance.


The market capitalization of Filecoin went up, which indicated that buyers were circulating in high numbers during press time.


Despite an 80% increase in price, Filecoin is still trading 96% below its all-time high, which it secured in 2021.

Filecoin Price Analysis: One-Day Chart

FIL was trading at $9.21 at the time of writing. The coin was stuck under a crucial price resistance mark of $6.36. Finally, with the double-digit gains, Filecoin managed to breach the aforementioned price level and flip it into support for the coin. Immediate resistance for the coin stood at $9.80.


A move above the $9.80 level will take the coin to $10.70. Both $9.30 and $9.80 are crucial resistance levels. On the flip side, rather than FIL being able to topple its next resistance mark, it should remain above two important support lines.


The area of vital support lay between $7.40 and $6.30. FIL can fall to $5.69 if the price falls below $6.30. The amount of FIL traded in the last session was green, indicating an increase in buying strength.

Ever since FIL crossed the $7 boundary, the coin has visited the overvalued zone three times. At the moment, Filecoin is overbought. The Relative Strength Index was at 80, indicating that buyers dominated the altcoin.


Usually, overbuying tendencies lead to some form of price retracement due to a price correction. In case of that, Filecoin has to remain above the $7.40 support line.


On that note, the altcoin was above the 20-Simple Moving Average line (SMA), which meant that buyers were dominating the price momentum in the market.

Other technical indicators have depicted that the bulls were present in full force at the time of writing. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator indicates price momentum and change. The indicator formed green signal bars, which were related to buy signals.


Buy signals are often accompanied by a further increase in price. The Directional Movement Index (DMI) registers the price direction.

DMI was positive as the +DI (blue) line crossed above the -DI (orange) line. The Average Directional Index (red) was moving up near the 40-mark, indicating that the bullish trend was building on the chart.

How the CLARITY Act Reshapes the Stablecoin Yield Economy

The CLARITY Act, recently advanced by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, fundamentally reshapes the stablecoin yield economy by closing loopholes left by the earlier GENIUS Act. Its Section 404 expands the ban on "hold-to-earn" rewards to all Digital Asset Service Providers (DASPs) and their affiliates, prohibiting any passive, interest-like yield. Crucially, it introduces a legal distinction, permitting "use-to-earn" rewards based on actual activities like spending, trading, or staking. In anticipation of this regulatory shift, major Wall Street asset managers—Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, and JPMorgan—have launched a series of tokenized money market funds (e.g., BlackRock's BRSRV, JPMorgan's JLTXX) designed explicitly for stablecoin reserve assets. These products represent a new, compliant yield layer: the stablecoin issuer earns interest from the underlying tokenized fund, which can then be passed to users through redesigned activity-based rewards. This marks a paradigm shift from a "hold-to-earn" to a "use-to-earn" market. While pathways remain for exchanges to redesign rewards (Path A) and for DeFi protocols to offer yield (Path B), the tokenized reserve asset layer (Path C) emerges as the most robust and strategically positioned infrastructure. However, this concentration—exemplified by BlackRock's BUIDL fund backing over 90% of USDtb's reserves—introduces new systemic risks. The final outcome hinges on regulatory decisions, particularly the OCC's proposed 20% cap on tokenized assets in reserves, which will determine the scalability of this new financial infrastructure layer.

Kalshi and Coinbase Receive CFTC Approval, Ushering in the Most Regulation-Friendly Era for the Crypto Industry?

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) took two landmark actions on May 29. It approved Kalshi's application to list a Bitcoin perpetual futures contract and issued a no-action letter to Coinbase Financial Markets. This allows Coinbase to offer certain perpetual futures products to U.S. customers through a subsidiary, with digital assets permitted as collateral. These moves, coupled with a new CFTC policy statement, provide a clearer regulatory pathway for perpetual contracts in the U.S., moving them from a regulatory gray area. CFTC Chair Mike Selig stated this is a key step for U.S. crypto leadership but noted the policy is not yet permanent. The article explains that CFTC's previous reluctance stemmed from legal ambiguities, as perpetual contracts lack an expiration date. However, such contracts dominate global crypto derivatives, accounting for ~78% of centralized exchange volume in 2025, forcing U.S. regulators to adapt to competition from offshore platforms like Hyperliquid. The approvals offer two compliance paths: Kalshi's direct listing and Coinbase's model using foreign futures. This is expected to attract institutional capital back to regulated U.S. venues, stimulate the launch of more products like ETH perpetuals, and enhance U.S. competitiveness in the global crypto derivatives market. The author suggests this may signal a "regulatorily friendly" era for crypto.

Sharplink CEO: Ethereum's Future Is Playing Out Now

This article presents a perspective from Joseph Chalom, CEO of Sharplink and a former BlackRock executive. He argues that current controversies surrounding the Ethereum Foundation (EF) and ETH's price miss the bigger picture for institutional adoption. Chalom asserts that Ethereum is decisively winning in the three key attributes institutions value most: trust, security, and liquidity. He cites its dominance in stablecoin settlement, tokenized real-world assets (RWA), and high-value DeFi as evidence. This success is attributed to the EF's consistent, long-term protocol development over a decade, including major upgrades like The Merge and a robust future roadmap. He defends Ethereum's decentralization as a core strength, not a weakness, stating institutions require a neutral infrastructure not controlled by any single entity. Comparing ETH to Amazon, Chalom suggests critics focusing on short-term price are missing its potential to become the foundational settlement layer for the entire global financial system. The article encourages a contrarian "be greedy when others are fearful" investment approach, drawing parallels to Warren Buffett's strategy and BlackRock's continued investment during crypto winters. Chalom concludes that while the EF correctly focuses on core protocol attributes (CROPS: Censorship Resistance, Capture Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, Security), a leadership gap exists in market-facing narrative and institutional adoption. He calls for ecosystem participants, including his own firm Sharplink, to become more vocal advocates to support Ethereum's impending "supercycle" of institutional adoption.

Deconstructing the Investment Methodology of the 'Stock God Serenity' in One Article

"Serenity's Bottleneck Investment Methodology: A Deep Dive" This article dissects the "bottleneck point investment" strategy of the pseudonymous investor Serenity, known for exceptional returns (YTD 4502.45%). The core methodology involves identifying a major technological trend (e.g., AI compute expansion), mapping its supply chain, and investing early in the most irreplaceable, supply-constrained upstream component before the market fully values it. The framework is broken down into a five-factor model: 1. **Deterministic Demand**: Anchored in a large, validated trend. 2. **Constrained Supply**: The component must be difficult to replicate or scale quickly. 3. **Low Market Attention**: Opportunities exist where coverage is sparse. 4. **Value Capture**: The company must have pricing power, high margins, and customer lock-in. 5. **Catalyst**: A near-term event to trigger price discovery (earnings, customer ramp, etc.). The article provides illustrative examples like $AXTI (InP substrates for photonics), $RPI (edge hardware for AI agents), and $AAOI/$LITE (components for cloud ASICs). To apply this method, a six-step process is outlined: identify the macro trend, map the supply chain, pinpoint the true bottleneck, gather evidence (client wins, certifications), assess risks ("anti-thesis table"), and size the position according to research depth. Crucially, the article notes significant limitations: risk of overfitting inferences from sparse data, valuation challenges for pre-revenue companies, liquidity/reflexivity risks due to Serenity's own market influence, and survivor bias amplified by a strong AI bull market. The key takeaway is to emulate the rigorous research process—finding the trend, the bottleneck, the evidence—rather than blindly copying specific stock picks, emphasizing the discipline of "walking through the narrow gate."
