Daily $5000U Airdrop Rain: Claim Yours Now!

An analyst using Elliott Wave theory has laid out a detailed roadmap that could take XRP toward $8 or higher in the coming months, provided the current corrective pattern holds.The crypto asset spent more than six years, from 2018 through 2024, tracing a large symmetrical triangle on the weekly chart. It broke out sharply in late 2024, forming a clear five-wave impulsive advance that the analyst labels wave 1 (A).That surge has since given way to a three-wave expanded flat correction of equal degree, which the analyst believes is either complete or very close to finishing. Price is now within a well-defined support zone that has been monitored for more than a year.From here, the highest-probability scenario calls for a fresh five-wave impulsive rally of the same timeframe as the preceding correction. This move, counted as wave 3 or C, is expected to clear the recent high near $3.70 and reach an initial measured target around $6. Because third waves frequently extend, the analyst sees a realistic path to $8-$10 or beyond.Once that advance concludes, the longer-term picture opens two paths: either a multi-year high-degree correction or a smaller fourth-wave pullback followed by a fifth-wave push that could eventually lift the token into the $20 range. For now, the immediate focus remains on the next leg higher to reach fresh all-time highs.The analyst notes that swing traders riding the anticipated rally will face a practical decision on when to book profits. The entire bullish count would be invalidated by a drop below $0.39, though that level is unlikely to be reached. Nearly two years have passed since the bull market began, and the chart is now testing for a higher low to launch the next leg.The weekly relative-strength index has already bottomed and is forming a bullish crossover. This supportive signal often aligns with the wave count. A bri

Zondacrypto under fire as Poland's prime minister links exchange to legislative interference



Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto's problems just keep mounting.

Already under fire following reports of frozen or delayed customer withdrawals, the company on Friday drew the ire of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who told parliament the company had sponsored some politicians who opposed crypto market regulation.

Blocking the legislation by some politicians showed they were toeing Zondacrypto's line, Tusk said before a vote to overturn President Karol Nawrocki's veto of the law, according to a report by AP. The exchange has links to Russia and had previously provided the lawmakers with financial support, he said.

Tusk's comments came a day after Zondacrypto CEO Przemysław Kral turned to X to defuse allegations the company was helping itself to investors' funds to bulk up its declining reserves.

In a statement and video published on the platform, Kral said the exchange had sufficient reserves, and owns a bitcoin wallet holding about 4,500 BTC, about $330 million. There is a problem, though: It can't access the funds because the previous owner didn't hand over the private key and has now disappeared.

Delayed withdrawals

Kral said he revealed the wallet address to "cut short the unfounded accusations of alleged misappropriation of funds." The key was not handed over by former CEO Sylwester Suszek in 2021, when ownership of the exchange, then known as BitBay, transferred and Kral took over. Suszek has been missing for four years.

Zondacrypto has faced reports of frozen or delayed customer withdrawals since late March, according to local news reports. Kral denied any misuse of client funds and said the exchange remains profitable. He publicized the inaccessible wallet to prove the exchange has reserves, he said.

‘I was wrong’ about Bitcoin’s 4-year cycle, expert James Lavish admits
Most analysts had ruled out the ‘4-Year Cycle’ for Bitcoin [$BTC], saying the narrative was dead. Among them is James Lavish, a partner at the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund.

James Lavish on Bitcoin’s ‘4-Year Cycle’

James Lavish claimed last year that a liquidity cycle drove the price, rendering Bitcoin halving cycles irrelevant. He admitted he was mistaken when $BTC went on to hit a new high of $126K. Lavish said,

I thought the four-year cycle was dead. I declared it dead last year. I was wrong

Bitcoin started to turn in the 4-year cycle when prices got up over $100K, solidifying the narrative last year. Several Bitcoin OGs sitting on tens of thousands of $BTC coins started selling relentlessly, monetizing all the wealth they accumulated over the years.

From those actions, Lavish said Bitcoin was the only rational exit as the US debt spiraled to new heights, tipping $BTC to make a new high in 2026.

Why liquidity always wins

When money supply increases, the prices of everything go up, including gold, silver, Bitcoin, stocks, bonds, and real estate.

Conversely, Lavish noted that fears about wars, quantum computing, and AI may take the markets down in the short term.

Lavish said this period resembled March and April 2020, into 2021 and 2022, when the market rebounded after quantitative easing. Hence, liquidity always wins.

That could repeat as the Fed pumps billions into the money supply through the buying of long-term treasury bills from banks.

On that note, Lavish noted that the Fed had no other choice but to print more dollars to manage debt that had doubled in 10 years to around $39 trillion. The US needs to service $12 trillion in debts this year.

Hence, they needed to ensure more US dollars hit the system. The authorities intentionally kept the dollar weak to facilitate financing.

As for this, Lavish said,

The $39T US debt isn’t a problem to solve. It’s

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin warns of the dangers of AI being controlled by a few big tech firms

Crypto’s next major inflection point is coming from artificial intelligence (AI).

That's according to Consensys CEO and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin. He told CoinDesk that autonomous or semi-autonomous agents can transact, coordinate and verify one another on decentralized networks, using crypto rails as a foundation for machine-driven activity.

Lubin, who will be speaking at Consensus Miami 2026 next month, said he is “sympathetic to the idea that blockchain is for machine intelligences,” but does not see humans being displaced. Instead, increasingly intelligent interfaces will abstract away complexity, allowing users to interact with crypto systems through intent rather than manual inputs. In that model, AI becomes the intermediary layer between people and protocols.

That vision comes with risks. If AI infrastructure remains concentrated among large technology firms, “we could be in trouble,” Lubin warned. He argued that decentralized systems and cryptography will be essential in ensuring accountability, enabling machines to “check on one another” in transparent, verifiable environments.

Within that broader shift, products like MetaMask — a Consensys product — are evolving to reflect the change. Lubin said the wallet is being rebuilt as “a new kind of neobank that you own and control,” part of a transition toward what he described as a “personal money operating system.” AI-powered agents could act on behalf of users, managing assets, executing transactions and navigating a growing decentralized economy. “You can walk around with your personal financial system in your pocket,” he said.

Data: BTC Falls Below $77,000 Amid Market Pressure

Bitcoin dropped below $77,000 as broad risk-off sentiment gripped crypto markets, with the largest cryptocurrency by market cap hitting an intraday low of $76,624 before partially recovering. The move pushed the Fear and Greed Index into Extreme Fear territory and raised questions about whether key support levels can hold.

Warren claims SEC’s Atkins likely misled Congress over enforcement data
US Senator Elizabeth Warren has accused Paul Atkins, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, of possibly lying to Congress about the agency’s enforcement numbers.

Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, said in a letter to Atkins dated Wednesday that the SEC’s enforcement data for fiscal year 2025, released on April 7, raised “significant concerns” about his answers at a Feb. 12 congressional hearing.

“At the hearing, I specifically asked you to comment on publicly available data highlighting a decline in SEC enforcement activity,” Warren said. “In response, you demurred, stating that you were ‘not sure what data’ I was looking at.”

“Now, it is clear that my assertion regarding the SEC’s declining enforcement actions was correct: the data you released last week show that the number of enforcement actions initiated by the SEC was lower than at any point in the last decade,” she added.

The SEC has rolled back its enforcement against crypto companies under the Trump administration, settling or dismissing crypto-related lawsuits the agency launched under the Biden administration, garnering criticisms from some lawmakers.

Warren said the SEC’s enforcement data was “deeply disturbing” and showed it had “largely abdicated its enforcement responsibilities” as the agency’s enforcement activity had dropped to the lowest level in more than 20 years.

She told Atkins that, in light of the data, his answers at the hearing in February “were deeply troubling and raise concerns that you may have been deliberately trying to mislead the Committee about the state of SEC enforcement.”

Warren said the hearing took place more than four months after the end of the 2025 fiscal year, a

Will Bitcoin’s Major Rally Continue? Here’s What the Experts Say

Cryptocurrency analysis platform Santiment assessed Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent rise to the $77,000 level and the overall market sentiment.

Santiment, an analytics company that closely tracks Bitcoin’s price movements, examined Bitcoin’s rise to the $77,000 level in its latest market assessment. Despite the price increase, the prevailing skeptical approach among investors is noteworthy.

According to the analysis, Bitcoin’s push to new highs hasn’t generated as much enthusiasm in the market as expected. On the contrary, many traders are skeptical about the sustainability of this rise. Santiment notes that this skeptical atmosphere in the market could actually create a healthy foundation for the continuation of the rally.

The question of “Has the bottom been reached?” remains a major topic of discussion among market participants. Santiment experts state that conversations on social media platforms and on-chain data indicate that investors are still expecting a major correction. Historically, periods of skepticism often coincide with phases of sustained price increases.

It is noted that the continued low supply of Bitcoin on exchanges is reducing selling pressure. In particular, the fact that whales are not aggressively selling at current levels is interpreted as a signal that long-term confidence is being maintained.

According to Santiment, this “skepticism” that emerged during Bitcoin’s $77,000 rally indicates that the market hasn’t overheated yet. If this cautious stance continues among investors instead of FOMO (fear of missing out), Bitcoin’s potential to test higher levels could strengthen.
