Volume Shows Big Players Are Reloading On Solana As They Push For 4-Month Highs
Solana is seeing renewed interest from institutional investors, who appear to have flipped bullish on SOL again. This follows the record inflows that the SOL ETFs have recorded since the start of this month, which have pushed the altcoin to a four-month high. Solana Sees Fresh Inflows From Institutional Investors According to SoSoValue data , Solana ETFs have recorded a total net inflow of $90 million since the start of the month, higher than their net inflows over the past three months. Notably, these funds saw total inflows of $26 million on May 11, which is the highest daily net inflow since February 25. The Solana ETFs now boast total net assets of $1.02 billion, which represents almost 2% of SOL’s market cap . Meanwhile, renewed inflows into these funds pushed SOL to a four-month high of around $97, with the altcoin now eyeing a push toward the psychological $100 level. However, derivatives data paint a mixed signal about the sentiment towards SOL at the moment. CoinGlass data show that the long/short ratio is currently below 1, suggesting that more traders remain bearish on Solana. However, SOL’s derivative trading volume has surged by 33%, reaching $12.81 billion. Options volume is up 116%, reaching $37.75 million, while the options open interest has climbed 22% to $125 million. It is worth noting that Solana and the broader crypto market remain under bearish pressure as U.S.-Iran peace talks appear to have stalled. This has raised concerns that the war could begin again, which is bearish for crypto prices. At the same time, recent inflation data show that inflation is steadily rising due to the war in Iran. Other Bullish Fundamentals For SOL In addition to renewed inflows into Solana ETFs, there are other bullish fundamentals for SOL, including the Alpenglow upgrade going live on the community test cluster. This comes ahead of the planned rollout on the mainnet in the third quarter of this year. This upgrade is notably the biggest consensus change in Solana’s history, and it aims to make the network 100x faster. Meanwhile, Western Union just launched its USDPT stablecoin on the Solana network, boosting the network’s adoption. The CLARITY Act is also set to advance, which would provide regulatory clarity for SOL once the Senate eventually passes the crypto bill. From a technical analysis perspective, crypto researcher Senior noted that technicals signal a strong buy sentiment, with the immediate resistance for SOL at $95. His accompanying chart indicated that SOL could easily rally to $100 if it successfully breaks above this resistance. At the time of writing, the Solana price is trading at around $90, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

JPMorgan: Altcoin Weakness Against Bitcoin Is Here to Stay
BitcoinWorld JPMorgan: Altcoin Weakness Against Bitcoin Is Here to Stay JPMorgan has released a sobering analysis for altcoin investors: the prolonged underperformance of cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) relative to Bitcoin (BTC) is unlikely to reverse course anytime soon. The investment bank’s assessment points to structural weaknesses in the decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset (RWA) sectors as key drivers of this trend. Bitcoin’s Resilience Outshines Altcoins According to a recent report cited by The Block, JPMorgan analysts noted that Bitcoin has demonstrated greater resilience across multiple fronts. This includes stronger performance in spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows and more robust institutional positioning in futures markets. In contrast, altcoins have struggled to maintain momentum, even during periods of broader market recovery. The bank’s analysis underscores a divergence that began in 2023. While Bitcoin has solidified its position as a macro asset and store of value, many altcoins remain tethered to the performance of their underlying blockchain ecosystems, which have faced headwinds. Ethereum’s Upgrades Haven’t Helped JPMorgan specifically highlighted Ethereum, the largest altcoin by market capitalization. The bank observed that while Ethereum has a scheduled upgrade on its roadmap, previous upgrades over the past three years have failed to meaningfully boost network activity. Instead, these upgrades have inadvertently weakened Ethereum’s token burn mechanism, reducing deflationary pressure on the supply. This technical dynamic has contributed to a perception that Ethereum’s value proposition is weakening relative to Bitcoin’s. The report suggests that without a significant catalyst in the DeFi or RWA sectors—areas where Ethereum is heavily relied upon—the trend is likely to persist. Liquidity and Confidence Erosion The broader market environment is also working against altcoins. JPMorgan pointed to deteriorating liquidity conditions, a lack of market depth, and damaged investor confidence as compounding factors. These issues make it difficult for altcoins to stage sustained rallies, even when Bitcoin leads the market higher. For retail and institutional investors alike, this analysis serves as a cautionary note. The current cycle appears to favor Bitcoin’s narrative as a digital gold, while altcoins face a longer road to recovery in terms of both price and ecosystem health. Conclusion JPMorgan’s latest report reinforces a growing consensus in traditional finance: the gap between Bitcoin and altcoins is widening, and structural improvements in DeFi and RWA adoption are needed to reverse the trend. Until those sectors show meaningful growth, altcoin underperformance is likely to remain a defining feature of the crypto market. FAQs Q1: Why is JPMorgan predicting continued altcoin underperformance? JPMorgan cites a lack of significant improvements in the DeFi and RWA sectors, along with Bitcoin’s superior resilience in ETF flows and institutional positioning. Q2: How have Ethereum’s upgrades affected its performance? Recent upgrades have failed to boost network activity and have weakened Ethereum’s token burn mechanism, reducing its deflationary appeal. Q3: What could change the altcoin outlook? A meaningful recovery would likely require a major catalyst in DeFi or real-world asset tokenization, along with improved market liquidity and investor confidence.

Analyst Says Avoid Bitcoin At All Costs; Here’s What To Do Instead As 50% Crash Looms
Crypto analyst Xanrox has advised market participants against buying Bitcoin, warning that a crash is looming for the leading crypto. Instead, the analyst advised buying altcoins, which are likely to offer greater gains. Analyst Advises Against Buying Bitcoin With Crash Looming In a TradingView analysis, Xanrox advised against buying Bitcoin, citing the crypto’s bearish price action. Commenting on BTC’s daily chart, he noted that the LOG scale shows a bearish flag pattern, indicating bearish price action. He added that it will be a technical error to buy or go long at the resistance of the channel. Related Reading: 9 Red Candles Before The Bottom: Why Bitcoin Price Will Continue To Crash Xanax further revealed that Bitcoin’s price is currently within the channel, indicating a huge selling wall above the current price. The analyst admitted there is still a chance BTC could rise to between $83,000 and $84,000. However, he advised opening a short position at this point rather than longing BTC. The analyst’s accompanying chart indicated that the recent Bitcoin rally was simply a bull trap, with BTC now at risk of dropping to around $60,000. BTC notably fell below $80,000 yesterday following the release of the U.S. PPI inflation data, which showed that inflation rose 6% year-over-year (YoY) in April due to the U.S.-Iran war. Meanwhile, Xanrox also noted that Bitcoin’s dominance is bearish, which is a strong sign of an altcoin season. He stated that the BTC price is currently looking to retest the main channel’s support trendline at around $60,000. Altcoins To Buy Xanrox listed ADA, TRX, LINK, DOGE, BNB, XLM, XRP, and ETH as altcoins to buy for those looking to trade with huge banks and institutions because they control the price of these coins. He reiterated that market participants should avoid Bitcoin as its dominance is falling and that it has already pumped from its February lows of around $60,000. Related Reading: Can An Altcoin Season Come Again? Why Bitcoin Price Can’t Fall Below $40,000 Meanwhile, the analyst stated that trading lower-cap coins will be better for those looking to make much more profit, as those coins have greater upside than the major altcoins, which he described as ‘bank’s coins.’ Some altcoins have recorded significant gains over the last month, with TON, SUI, and ONDO leading the way. TON is up almost 50% in the last month, rising to almost $3 as the Toncoin network’s fees dropped by 600%. The altcoin also recorded this surge as the Toncoin network now offers one of the most attractive yields among all layer-1 networks. Meanwhile, SUI and ONDO are up over 26% and 57%, respectively, on the back of bullish fundamentals in their respective ecosystems. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $79,600, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Ripple News: Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz Just Warned of AI-Cloned Executives Draining XRP Wallets, Are You at Risk?
Ripple co-founder and CTO David Schwartz has issued an urgent public warning about what he described as a ‘huge escalation lately in airdrop and giveaway scams targeting XRPL users,’ flagging a coordinated wave of XRP scam news campaigns that have grown sharply more sophisticated through AI-generated impersonation and wallet drainer technology. The warning, posted to his 700,000-plus followers on X, arrives as XRP commands elevated institutional attention and retail volume, precisely the conditions that make its holder base a high-value phishing target. Bearish signal for ecosystem trust. SCAM ALERT: There has been a huge escalation lately in airdrop and giveaway scams targetting XRPL users lately. Any such posts you see are likely scams. Anyone claiming to be me on Instagram, Telegram, or almost anywhere else is likely a scammer. Stay safe XRP fam. — David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz (@JoelKatz) May 14, 2026 Discover: The best pre-launch token sales Ripple News: How the Attacks Work, Fake Airdrops, Wallet Drainers, and AI-Cloned Executives The mechanism here is worth understanding precisely. The dominant attack vector is the fake airdrop: users are directed to a fraudulent promotional site promising free XRP tokens, where connecting a non-custodial wallet triggers a malicious script, a wallet drainer, that executes a single authorized transaction to empty holdings before the user realizes what happened. The authorization step is the trap; once signed, the transaction is irreversible on-chain. Giveaway scams operate through a simpler but equally effective social engineering play. Fraudsters promise to return twice any amount of XRP sent to a scammer-controlled address, packaging the pitch around fabricated Ripple announcements or milestone celebrations. The delivery infrastructure has matured significantly in 2026. Attackers are deploying AI-generated deepfake videos on TikTok and YouTube that clone Schwartz’s likeness and voice with enough fidelity to fool retail holders. In a separate and notably sophisticated attack vector, Schwartz flagged a phishing campaign that injected fake emails into Robinhood’s infrastructure, exploiting Gmail’s dot-trick for account creation and embedding malicious HTML payloads in device names, with messages that passed SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication checks, making them appear as legitimate Robinhood correspondence. Fake Accounts on Telegram Fake accounts impersonating Schwartz and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse have proliferated on Instagram and Telegram, with Ripple reporting over 50 such accounts on both platforms in Q1 2026 alone. Schwartz warned explicitly : ‘Anyone claiming to be me on Instagram, Telegram, or almost anywhere else is likely a scammer.’ Discover: The best pre-launch token sales The post Ripple News: Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz Just Warned of AI-Cloned Executives Draining XRP Wallets, Are You at Risk? appeared first on Cryptonews .

ONDO price prediction: can bulls defend key support near $0.33?
Ondo Finance (ONDO) has extended its losing streak to Thursday, dropping below the critical $0.4000 mark as it faces mounting selling pressure. After experiencing three consecutive days of declines, ONDO has extended its correction from its May peak of $0.4877, raising concerns of a potential deeper correction. Ondo’s May rally fades as retail demand declines ONDO was one of the best performers earlier this month, recording massive gains. Its rally in the first week of May was largely driven by increasing retail interest, which helped push futures Open Interest (OI) to $245 million—its highest level since October. The rally was fueled by the first-ever successful interbank settlement of tokenized short-term United States (US) Treasuries' pilot in collaboration with JPMorgan, Mastercard and Ripple. However, since then, Open Interest has steadily declined, falling from nearly $229 million to $179 million as of Thursday. This drop in demand from the derivatives market signals a retreat in investor confidence, further weighing on Ondo’s price. As Open Interest dwindles, traders are reducing their risk exposure, adding to the downward pressure on ONDO’s price. Despite these challenges, the futures market indicates potential for a rebound. Ondo’s futures Weighted Funding Rate remains positive at 0.0049%, suggesting that long-positioned traders remain dominant and are willing to pay a premium to maintain their positions. This continued conviction could support a recovery if buy-the-dip demand materializes. Technical analysis: Ondo bears target the $0.3348 support The ONDO/USD 4-hour chart remains bullish thanks to Ondo Finance’s rally earlier this month. At press time, ONDO is trading at $0.38305, maintaining a constructive bullish bias as it holds well above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), clustered around $0.3100. The bulls are holding ONDO’s price above the SuperTrend support near $0.3348. The momentum indicators on the 4-hour chart suggest that the bulls are losing control. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram has dropped to the negative region on the 4-hour chart, indicating a bearish bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers at 44, suggesting a growing bearish bias. If the bulls regain control of the market, they would encounter immediate resistance at the 200-day EMA around $0.4017. A clean daily close above this level would open the door to a continuation of the recent rally. However, if the selloff continues, the bears would encounter a strong support level near $0.3348. Failure to defend this support level would expose lower demand zones close to the 100-day EMA at $0.3132 and the 50-day EMA at $0.3055. These levels could allow for a pullback as buyers could step in and absorb the selling pressure. The broader cryptocurrency market is still undergoing selling pressure. Unless the bulls regain control, ONDO and other leading crypto assets could underperform in the near term.

Binance to List AIGENSYN With Seed Tag, Signaling Higher Risk Profile
BitcoinWorld Binance to List AIGENSYN With Seed Tag, Signaling Higher Risk Profile Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced the upcoming listing of AIGENSYN for spot trading. The trading pair will go live at 1:00 p.m. UTC today, marking the token’s entry into one of the most prominent digital asset marketplaces. Seed Tag Designation Signals Elevated Caution Binance has applied its Seed Tag to AIGENSYN, a designation the exchange reserves for tokens that may exhibit higher volatility and risk compared to other listed assets. The Seed Tag program is part of Binance’s broader risk management framework, designed to inform traders about projects that are still in early development stages or have limited track records. Traders holding AIGENSYN will see the Seed Tag displayed on the trading interface, and they must pass periodic quizzes to confirm they understand the associated risks before trading. This mechanism is similar to Binance’s Monitoring Tag, but the Seed Tag specifically targets newer, less established projects. What Is AIGENSYN? AIGENSYN is a token associated with an artificial intelligence-focused blockchain project. While specific technical details about the project remain limited in public disclosures, the token’s listing on Binance suggests the exchange’s listing team has completed a review of the project’s fundamentals, team background, and market potential. The broader AI and blockchain convergence sector has attracted significant investor attention in recent months, with several projects seeking to combine decentralized infrastructure with machine learning capabilities. However, the sector remains nascent, and many tokens in this space carry substantial uncertainty regarding adoption and long-term viability. Implications for Traders The listing on Binance typically provides a token with immediate liquidity and exposure to millions of active traders. However, the Seed Tag serves as a formal warning. New listings often experience significant price volatility in the hours and days following launch, driven by speculative trading, limited order book depth, and asymmetric information among market participants. For retail traders, the Seed Tag requirement means they must actively acknowledge the risks before executing trades. Binance has previously used this designation for tokens that later experienced both rapid gains and sharp corrections, underscoring the importance of due diligence. Market Context and Timing The listing comes amid a broader recovery in cryptocurrency markets, with Bitcoin and major altcoins showing renewed momentum. Exchange listings in such environments can amplify price movements, as traders often seek higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities during bullish sentiment phases. Binance’s listing decisions are closely watched by the crypto community, as they often serve as a signal of a project’s credibility, though the exchange has faced criticism in the past for listing tokens with questionable fundamentals. The Seed Tag represents a compromise: providing access while flagging elevated risk. Conclusion Binance’s listing of AIGENSYN with a Seed Tag provides traders with access to a new AI-focused token while maintaining a clear risk warning. The move reflects the exchange’s ongoing strategy of expanding its asset offerings while attempting to manage user risk through labeling and education requirements. Traders should approach the listing with caution, conduct independent research, and be prepared for the heightened volatility that often accompanies new token listings. FAQs Q1: What does the Seed Tag mean on Binance? The Seed Tag is a risk label Binance applies to tokens that may have higher volatility and risk. Traders must pass quizzes to confirm they understand these risks before trading. Q2: When will AIGENSYN spot trading begin? Spot trading for AIGENSYN is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. UTC on the listing date. Q3: Is AIGENSYN a safe investment? All cryptocurrency investments carry risk. The Seed Tag indicates that AIGENSYN is considered higher risk by Binance, and potential investors should conduct thorough research before trading.
