Why is the Stellar (XLM) price up today?

XRP ETF inflows paint a positive picture, but will it be enough to reverse course for its price?

The post Bitcoin (BTC) underperforms risk assets as record 9th day of ETF outflows signal waning demand: Crypto Daily appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin BTC$73,477.46 is stabilizing near $73,500, about 10% below its monthly high of $81,000. Data suggests the stall reflects a shortage of new buyers rather than a plethora of sellers. Risk assets broadly advanced after reports that U.S.-Iran negotiations could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil passageway, lifted sentiment. “The expectations of a de-escalation in geopolitical tension and the normalization of the Strait of Hormuz are reducing pressure on oil prices,” analysts at Spanish lender Bankinter wrote in a market note. Against that supportive backdrop, bitcoin’s weakness looks crypto-specific. Long-term holder supply has reached a record 15.8 million BTC, according to CryptoQuant, normally a bullish signal because it reflects coins held rather than traded. The firm argued the record may be hollow, reflecting slowing

The post Circle Freezes $12.6 Million in Confidential USDC, Exposing Surveillance Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Circle blacklisted Zama’s confidential USDC contract on Ethereum on May 30. The blacklist freezes roughly $12.6 million held in a cUSDC token contract. The freeze prevents holders of confidential USDC (cUSDC) from redeeming the tokens for standard USDC. The action raises fresh questions about issuer control over privacy-focused Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols. Circle Blacklist Halts cUSDC Redemptions Circle, the issuer of USDC, maintains a built-in blacklist on the USDC smart contract. Authorized Circle accounts add addresses, and blacklisted addresses cannot send or receive the stablecoin. The frozen contract is an ERC-1967 proxy that holds USDC on behalf of cUSDC token holders. Zama’s privacy protocol uses fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to conceal balances and transfer amounts on public chains. Circle blacklisted the Zama (privacy protocol) Confident

The post ETH Price Prediction: $2,200 Target Within 14 Days as Oversold Conditions Create Bullish Reversal Setup appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Alvin Lang May 29, 2026 07:04 Ethereum sits dangerously oversold at $2,017 with RSI at 32 and massive retail long positioning of 73.6%, setting up a contrarian bounce toward $2,200 with 65% probability over the next two weeks. The Immediate Setup Ethereum is bleeding but showing classic oversold exhaustion signals that veteran traders live for. At $2,017, ETH has carved out a clean 1.70% bounce off yesterday’s $1,967 low, with the RSI sitting at a juicy 32.28 – deep enough to trigger institutional buying algorithms but not panic-level oversold. The MACD histogram flatlined at zero tells me momentum is shifting from bearish to neutral, creating the perfect storm for a relief rally. What’s particularly compelling is the Bollinger Band positioning at 0.165, meaning price is hugging the lower band like a desperate trader cli

The post Bitcoin bear market could last until 2027 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju warns the Bitcoin bear market could extend into early 2027, based on on-chain PnL data. Summary Ki Young Ju cited CryptoQuant’s PnL Index Signal, which shows investor profitability typically falls for 18 months after profit-taking cascades begin. The trend began in October 2025, placing a potential bear market bottom in early 2027 based on historical patterns. A true reversal requires unrealized profits to rise while realized profits fall simultaneously, a signal that has not yet appeared. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju posted on X this week warning that Bitcoin’s current downturn mirrors the extended bear cycles of 2014, 2018, and 2022, and may not resolve until early 2027. “Once profit-taking cascades, Bitcoin investors’ PnL typically falls for about 18 months,” Ju wrote. “Since the trend change started in October 2025, the bear market could last until early 2027.
