Ethereum (ETH) has given back most of its earlier-month gains as broader selling pressure returns. Analyst Ali Martinez says a weekly TD Sequential sell signal is active, with potential supports at $1,900, $1,565 and $1,090, while $1,071 is framed as a possible buy zone. Separately, US spot Ethereum ETFs posted four straight outflow days from May 11 to May 14, including $130.6 million on May 12.

Cardano (ADA) traded around $0.26 while millionaire-tier wallets continued to add tokens, lifting their combined holdings to 25.09 billion ADA for the first time. Those wallets now control 67.47% of circulating supply, even as ADA's market cap fell more than 70% over the past nine months. Analyst Ali Martinez flagged $0.25 as a key historical support zone, with upside targets of $0.36 and $0.53 if the level holds.

On April 23, 2026, blockchain investigator ZachXBT said a Discord call in which Dritan Kapllani Jr. displayed an Exodus wallet helped link him to a broader social-engineering theft network exceeding $19 million. The investigator connected the shown Ethereum address to a March 14, 2026 Bitcoin theft of 185 BTC (about $13 million at the time) and alleged the wallet later received roughly $5.3 million, with nearly $1.6 million spent or laundered within six weeks.

Charles Schwab began rolling out Schwab Crypto accounts on Tuesday, enabling selected retail clients to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum directly within its platform alongside traditional assets. The service is broadly available across the U.S. but excludes New York, Louisiana, and U.S. territories for now, and it is not yet open to users outside the United States. Schwab Crypto is set to charge a 75-basis-point trading fee.

Revised language under the CLARITY Act framework has advanced in the Senate Banking Committee, raising attention on how U.S. market-structure rules could classify major tokens such as XRP. Standard Chartered has estimated that if XRP ultimately receives commodity-like treatment, XRP ETFs could draw $4 billion to $8 billion in inflows by the end of the year. That scenario has also refocused interest on where institutional XRP capital could be deployed, including Flare-based XRPFi via FXRP.

Digital asset investment products logged $857.9 million in weekly inflows, extending a six-week streak of positive flows, with Bitcoin drawing $706.1 million. Short-bitcoin products saw $14.4 million in outflows as CoinShares pointed to a pullback in hedging amid improved market confidence. The U.S. led regional totals with $776.6 million, while Ethereum, Solana, and XRP also posted weekly inflows.

CoinGecko data shows Pump.fun traders on Solana shifted back into profitability in early 2026 after months of mostly losing outcomes through late 2025. Profitable wallets rose to nearly 57% in February, then climbed to 70% in March and 73.3% in April 2026, with most results concentrated in small dollar amounts. Pump.fun also said it burned previously repurchased PUMP tokens worth about $370 million, or 36% of the circulating supply, and launched a new buyback-and-burn funded by 50% of future net revenue.

XRP network usage has cooled since late 2024, with new addresses falling from about 18,000 per day in December 2024 to roughly 2,700 currently, an 85% drop. Whale-to-Binance inflows also slid to around 736 million XRP after peaking near 2.6 billion XRP in early March, suggesting reduced exchange-transfer pressure. Separately, analyst Ali Martinez said a TD Sequential buy signal appeared on the 4-hour chart, pointing to a potential rebound toward $1.45 and possibly $1.80 if resistance is cleared.

On March 1, Bitrefill reported a cyber intrusion that led to the theft of cryptocurrency from certain hot wallets and misuse of its gift card supply flows. The company's investigation has identified indicators consistent with techniques attributed to the North Korea-linked Lazarus/Bluenoroff group, and traced the breach to a compromised employee laptop. Around 18,500 purchase records were accessed, while Bitrefill says financial losses will be covered from operational capital and most services have been restored.
