Hyperliquid fell 3.42% within 24 hours to $57.12, underperforming the slightly weaker overall crypto market, mainly due to a decline in market risk appetite. Main reason: The overall crypto market pulled back, with total market capitalization dropping about 1.64%, leading HYPE to weaken in sync. Secondary reason: No significant independent negative factors or project-level catalysts were observed. Short-term outlook: If HYPE holds the $55 support level, it may consolidate in the $55–$60 range; if it breaks below, it could retest the short-term trend support near $52.

NEAR Protocol pulled back to around $2.34 after surging over 70% from the monthly low, mainly due to profit-taking following overbought conditions and overall market weakness. 1) Profit-taking The rapid rise pushed the 14-day RSI to 82.43, entering a severe overbought zone, triggering short-term capital to take profits. This is a normal technical correction after a rally, not a trend reversal. 2) Overall market pressure The total crypto market cap dropped about 1.71%, Bitcoin fell about 1.62%, and market sentiment shifted to "fear." Macro uncertainties (such as changes in Federal Reserve policy) also intensified the pullback in risk assets, and NEAR's high beta characteristic caused it to decline in sync. 3) Short-term outlook Key support is at $2.15 (close to the intraday pivot at $2.12). If this range holds, the overall pattern remains a healthy consolidation with potential to retest the $2.34 high; if it breaks below $2.07 (23.6% Fibonacci), it may further retrace to $1.91. Summary: Overall, this is still a "healthy consolidation after a rally," with the key focus on whether the support level can hold going forward.

$LAB fell about 0.87% in the past 24 hours, currently priced at $4.48, which is not an increase. However, compared to the overall market decline of about 1.64%, LAB is actually relatively resilient, showing some strength. At present, this movement looks more like a low-volume consolidation phase following the previous surge, rather than new negative news. Data shows: * 24-hour trading volume has only slightly decreased by about 1% compared to the previous day * No obvious negative news targeting LAB in the market * Selling pressure is relatively weak compared to other altcoins Main reasons: * Funds are digesting the previous parabolic rise * Bulls have temporarily entered a consolidation phase * The overall market is weak, but LAB's decline is relatively limited Key short-term levels: * If the $4.20 support holds and market sentiment remains stable, LAB has a chance to challenge the $4.80 area again * If it breaks below $4.20, it may further pull back to around $3.50 Overall, it currently leans more towards a "strong consolidation" rather than a complete trend reversal to bearish.

Zcash (ZEC) has dropped about 3.98% in the past 24 hours, with the price retreating to $605.78, underperforming the overall crypto market, mainly due to increased market risk aversion. Currently, market funds are withdrawing from volatile niche altcoins, and ZEC has a high sensitivity (Beta) to Bitcoin's volatility, so its decline is further amplified when BTC falls. The core reasons for this round of decline: Overall market entering risk-off mode Funds tending to exit high-volatility assets BTC breaking key support levels dragging down altcoin sentiment No obvious secondary drivers have appeared in the current data, such as protocol issues, regulatory news, or on-chain anomalies. In the short term: If ZEC can hold the psychological support level at $600, the price may enter a consolidation phase If it breaks below $600, the next target area will likely test the $580–$590 range Especially if BTC cannot reclaim above $75,000, ZEC may continue to face pressure Overall, this looks more like a risk release after a high-level rally rather than a sudden deterioration in fundamentals.

After Metaplanet announced Eric Trump joining the company's Strategic Advisory Board, its stock price surged about 17%, with the market viewing this move as a signal of the Trump family's further bet on Bitcoin. Subsequently, Metaplanet accelerated its BTC purchases, quickly adding 150 more Bitcoin, valued at approximately $12.6 million. By early 2026, the company's holdings reached about 40,177 BTC, making it the third-largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder globally. Currently, its average purchase cost is between $97,000 and $104,000. Metaplanet's strategy basically replicates Michael Saylor's approach (formerly MicroStrategy): * Financing through bond issuance and additional stock offerings * Continuously buying BTC as corporate reserve assets This model is now rapidly spreading worldwide. The market believes that Eric Trump's involvement not only brings political and traffic effects but may also help the company gain more attention and financing channels in the U.S. capital markets. He was also arranged to attend the shareholders' meeting to discuss subsequent fundraising and plans to continue increasing BTC holdings. However, this kind of "corporate coin hoarding model" carries very high risks. Companies like Nakamoto have recently suffered huge unrealized losses due to BTC volatility and were even forced to sell coins to cover operating costs. The market is increasingly divided into two camps: * One believes BTC will appreciate long-term and thus aggressively finances to hoard coins * The other worries that if BTC crashes, highly leveraged companies may face chain risks Regardless, "public companies aggressively buying Bitcoin" has moved from a conceptual stage to a real large-scale capital competition phase.

Jane Street significantly adjusted its crypto asset allocation in Q1 2026, increasing its Ethereum ETF position by about $82 million while cutting its Bitcoin ETF holdings by up to 71%. Regulatory filings show that this Wall Street quant trading giant clearly rotated funds between BTC and ETH: * BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) holdings decreased by about 71%, down to approximately $225 million * Fidelity's FBTC holdings decreased by about 60% * Meanwhile, there was a substantial increase in BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH However, market analysts caution against simply interpreting this as "Jane Street being outright bullish on ETH." Since Jane Street has long employed a market-neutral (delta-neutral) strategy, these ETF positions are likely just part of complex hedging trades. The 13F filings only show long positions and do not reveal shorts, futures, swaps, or other hidden hedging structures. In other words, they may not be purely betting on ETH price appreciation but are engaging in: * ETH/BTC relative strength arbitrage * Arbitrage between ETFs and futures funding rates * Volatility or hedging strategies Therefore, retail investors who directly mimic these holdings may easily misinterpret the situation. At the same time, institutional sentiment toward the crypto market shows clear divergence: Bearish/Reducing positions camp: * Harvard Fund reduced IBIT by 43% and fully exited ETHA * Goldman Sachs exited XRP and Solana ETFs and cut ETH ETF holdings by 70% Continuing to increase positions camp: * Abu Dhabi sovereign fund Mubadala increased IBIT to $566 million * JPMorgan increased IBIT holdings by 174% This indicates that there is currently no unified consensus among institutions but rather a phase of "divergent competition": Some are taking profits, while others continue long-term positioning.

Bitcoin fell below the $75,000 mark, influenced by news of a possible US military action against Iran, causing market risk aversion to rapidly intensify and leading to large-scale liquidations in the crypto market. Data shows that this round of decline triggered approximately $945 million in leveraged position liquidations, the vast majority of which were long positions. The total market capitalization of the entire crypto market shrank by about 3% within 24 hours, dropping to $2.5 trillion. ETH and major altcoins fell in sync, clearly a systemic sell-off triggered by a macro risk event. The market had gradually calmed down since the ceasefire in April, but now tensions have escalated again, with focus shifting to the upcoming $6.25 billion BTC options expiry on May 29. Currently, $75,000 is regarded as the "Max Pain" point in this options market cycle. However, on-chain data shows a different signal. Despite the price plunge, whales continue to buy BTC. Data indicates that large wallets increased their holdings by about 30,000 BTC again in May, valued close to $2 billion; while the cumulative increase in April was even higher, around $4 billion. At the same time, Bitcoin futures open interest has surged 50% over the past two months, reaching about $64 billion, indicating that a large amount of capital is still betting on a subsequent rebound. The current key support level is concentrated around $77,000. If this is broken, BTC may further drop to $72,000 or even $67,000; conversely, if it climbs back above $82,000, the short-term bearish structure may be broken.

Michael Saylor stated that in the past 6 months, almost all major banks in the United States have proactively contacted him to inquire about Bitcoin-related business, indicating a significant shift in traditional finance's attitude towards BTC. He mentioned that institutions including BNY Mellon, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, JPMorgan, and Citi have already started researching or planning Bitcoin products. Saylor said: "Two years ago, no one dared to imagine this situation. Now, the largest banks in the U.S. are not only paying attention to BTC but are actually starting to develop products." Currently, Strategy holds about 818,000 BTC, remaining the world's largest corporate-level Bitcoin holder. Saylor revealed that 8 of the top 10 U.S. banks are advancing BTC custody, mortgage loans, and even financial products linked to spot ETFs. This means Bitcoin is gradually transitioning from a "high-risk speculative asset" to a formal collateral asset within the traditional financial system. In the future, users might be able to borrow from banks using BTC as collateral, similar to mortgaging real estate, without having to sell their holdings. Saylor also stated that Wells Fargo and Citi plan to launch full Bitcoin custody services in 2026, which may later expand to BTC mortgage loan services. However, the market also warns that this kind of "BTC leveraged financialization," while beneficial for institutional adoption, could amplify market volatility. Previous collapses of crypto lending platforms like Celsius and BlockFi are typical cases of excessive leverage.

Dogecoin plunged more than 10% this week, with its price falling to the lowest point since the end of April, once breaking below the $0.12 support level and dipping to around $0.10. However, during the market panic sell-off, whales began aggressively accumulating. On-chain data shows that large holders have collectively bought about 525 million DOGE, valued at over $52.5 million. Analysts believe that this "price drop + continuous whale buying" pattern often indicates that major players are positioning at low levels, possibly signaling that the short-term market is nearing a phase bottom. In contrast, whale capital flows in other major altcoins are noticeably weaker. For example, XRP's large transfer volume has plummeted 57% over 9 days, indicating whale funds are retreating, whereas DOGE shows the opposite trend. Currently, the market's focus is on whether the $0.10 level can be successfully defended and form a new strong support. If whale buying continues to strengthen, DOGE has a chance to rebound; but if overall market sentiment worsens, the price may still decline further.

Ethereum mainnet fees have dropped to a historic low, with the average transaction costing only about $0.21, a year-over-year plunge of over 50%. However, at the same time, on-chain transaction volume has hit a new high, creating a stark contrast. The core reason comes from the Dencun upgrade and the implementation of EIP-4844. A large amount of transaction traffic has been absorbed by Layer2, with networks like Arbitrum and Base taking on more and more user activity, easing congestion on the Ethereum mainnet and significantly reducing Gas fees. Data shows that the ETH mainnet daily transaction count once reached a new record of 1.87 million transactions, but the fee burn volume dropped to only about 53 ETH per day, completely different from the thousands of ETH burned daily in 2022–2023. This has led the market to reconsider the narrative of ETH as an "ultrasound money." In the past, ETH relied on high Gas burn to achieve deflation, but now with extremely low fees, the burn rate has clearly weakened, and ETH is once again facing inflationary pressure. Although low fees benefit ecosystem growth and user experience, more and more value is flowing to Layer2 rather than the Ethereum main chain itself. The market believes that in the future, ETH is more likely to become the settlement layer for the entire L2 ecosystem. The market’s next focus will be on the 2026 Glamsterdam upgrade, which aims to increase mainnet TPS to 10,000 transactions per second. Whether this upgrade can enhance the competitiveness of Ethereum’s main layer will directly impact ETH’s long-term value logic.
