As an analyst, I’ve been observing that scammers aren’t necessarily inventing new techniques, but they’re becoming much more effective at exploiting well-known psychological vulnerabilities. We’re seeing a significant surge in fake token giveaways and airdrops, and these aren’t just simple attempts anymore. Attackers are using them to cleverly trick people into connecting their crypto wallets to dangerous websites or, even worse, giving up their seed phrases. It’s a clear escalation of classic scams, and people need to be extra cautious.

At Tuesday’s announcement, the behemoth proudly declared the launch of Schwab Crypto for a select cadre of retail clients. A heroic step, a mere plod through a bureaucratic maze, but both the website and the H2 pages echo the songs of the oppressed: “You may trade now, but you cannot escape the 75‑basis‑point tax that clings to every transaction like a night watchman’s chains.”

The token’s price fell by 2.47% in the last 24 hours, trading between $0.27 and $0.28 during that period.

Imagine, if you will, the absurdity of it all: weeks spent in the Sisyphean task of brute-forcing passwords, only to be outdone by a machine that, with a mere glance at the relics of an old computer, uncovered the forgotten backup. Ah, the irony! The notebook, once a mere collection of scribbles, became the Rosetta Stone of his financial resurrection.

A fortune risen from the ashes, thanks to the cold, unblinking eye of AI.

On the fateful day of May 13, them Bitcoin ETFs saw more money fly out the door than a politician at a fact-checking convention-$635 million, to be precise. BlackRock’s IBIT fund led the charge, shedding nearly $285 million like a hound dog shedding hair in summer. That’s the biggest one-day exodus since January 29, when folks were still trying to figure out if Bitcoin was a currency, a commodity, or just a fancy word for “confusion.”

This change affects how information about certain swap agreements is reported and kept on file, specifically those traded on major exchanges and processed through clearinghouses.

Arab Chain’s CryptoQuant analysis reveals that XRP’s open interest on Binance is sitting pretty at $475.4 million, a whopping 8% above its 30-day average of $440.7 million. Why? Because apparently, traders haven’t learned their lesson about leverage. The Z-Score, a fancy way of saying “how much risk are we taking?” is at 1.65, which is above the 1.0 threshold. Translation: everyone’s betting big, but no one’s sure if they’re betting on a rocket or a hand grenade.

On May 13, ADI Foundation and Settlemint announced they’re joining forces to create a digital securities infrastructure on the ADI Chain. Their goal? To make tokenizing assets in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) as easy as ordering a camel latte. (Yes, that’s a thing.)

Xi Calls for U.S.-China Partnership in Talks With Trump During a two-hour meeting in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged U.S. President Donald Trump to view China and the United States as partners rather than competitors.

There it sat, trading at a humble $0.2224, with a market cap of $738 million and a 24-hour trading volume that barely tickled $34 million. The “sell the news” crowd struck again, proving that in the wild west of cryptocurrency, good news is just a fancy invitation to cash out.
