Trump Media aims to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. via a recently announced team-up, in the president's latest crypto venture.
A sudden, hefty $22 million transfer of XRP has raised eyebrows across the crypto community. On May 30, 2025, an XRP whale moved 10 million tokens, worth around $22 million at the time, to an unknown wallet, as reported by on-chain data tracker Whale Alert. Source: Whale Alert The transaction’s size and anonymity have sparked speculation, particularly amid growing volatility in the broader crypto market. Big Moves in a Volatile XRP Market The transfer comes during a period of heightened activity for XRP. Over the past 24 hours, over $1.95 billion worth of XRP was traded, representing an 8% increase in volume, according to CoinMarketCap. Despite the spike in trading activity, XRP’s price action remains under pressure, falling to lows of $2.08 during early trading before recovering slightly to $2.17 by day’s end—a 1% increase. Market data from TradingView shows that XRP has broken below its 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages at $2.25 and $2.30, respectively. XRP/USDT Daily Chart| Source: TradingView This breach indicates strengthening bearish momentum. IntoTheBlock data further supports this, showing that XRP has lost 75% of its on-chain volume, suggesting fewer transactions are taking place on the network than previous highs. Strategic Accumulation or a Warning Sign? Interestingly, the whale transfer coincides with major corporate developments involving XRP. Renewable energy firm VivoPower recently announced plans to raise $121 million to establish an XRP-focused treasury reserve—marking a first for a publicly traded company. Similarly, Webus International, a China-based firm, is raising $300 million to create an XRP strategic reserve. These moves indicate rising institutional interest in XRP despite market turbulence. Meanwhile, on-chain analysts and traders closely monitor XRP’s exchange open interest, which hit $4.87 billion on May 28, 2025. This spike in open interest signals elevated speculative activity, with traders likely positioning for a significant move. The anonymity surrounding the $22 million transfer has fueled market speculation. Large, unexplained whale transactions often precede significant price swings or strategic positioning by major players. However, interpretations remain speculative without confirmation from the entity behind the transfer. Recent XRP price patterns show three consecutive days of declines since May 27, 2025, despite rising volumes and renewed institutional interest. Analysts have noted that while large-scale acquisitions like those by VivoPower and Webus International signal long-term confidence in XRP, the near-term outlook remains clouded by bearish technical indicators and continued market volatility. Investors and traders will likely closely monitor XRP’s next moves. Key levels to watch include the $2.25 resistance and $2.08 support, with any decisive break potentially signaling the market’s direction. For now, the big money move has set the stage—but whether it’s a signal of bullish confidence or a defensive play remains to be seen.
Solana (SOL) is currently demonstrating a bullish performance, driven by key on-chain metrics. Within the past day, the trading volume increased by over 26% as investors shift their attention to SOL, a top market altcoin. Solana Breaks Key Resistance According to CoinMarketCap data , SOL rose 5.16% over the previous day, setting the price at $161. The ongoing rally comes as traders and investors accumulate more SOL coins, as indicated by the spike in trading volume. Solana has broken past the $153 key resistance level and moved to $162 during the day. This rally is attributed to daily active addresses and record transaction throughput spikes. Market analysts have highlighted $165 as the next price target for SOL as long as the momentum continues. Their expectations are not out of place, as SOL surged from $153.66 to $159.92 in just 24 hours. What Technical Analysis Shows Solana initiated a strong upside momentum after breaking above $155.55, confirmed by rising volume. After two failed retests, SOL has formed at a key resistance at $162.46, with a double-top pattern near $160.20. In the short term, SOL formed key support at $159.85, which is reinforced by the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $159.73. If Solana bulls reclaim $162, consolidation just below $160 signals continuation potential. Traders are optimistic that SOL could soon hit the $1,000 mark , driven by a combination of positive market sentiments. SOL Sees Massive Adoption The Solana ecosystem continues to see improvements and rising adoption amid the latest price rally. For instance, WalletConnect recently launched its token on the Solana blockchain, beginning with the distribution of five million units of WCT. This move demonstrates Solana’s growing reputation amongst its counterparts. This development comes shortly after Canary Capital filed to launch a spot Solana Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Canary applied to the US SEC in partnership with Marinade Finance, a popular Solana staking platform. The fund dubbed Canary Marinade Solana ETF would allow for staking, which makes it unique from similar filings. Already, there are futures ETFs in both Brazil and Canada that have placed a new focus on the top altcoin in the past few months. With institutional adoption set to keep soaring, the price of SOL may see an intense boost in the long run.

In an industry crowded with short-lived meme tokens and recycled hype cycles, the emergence of FloppyPepe (FPPE) has taken a different path—one that began with an unexpected grassroots movement on Telegram and rapidly expanded into strategic attention across Twitter (now X). What caught early investors off guard wasn’t just the scale of interest in the presale, but the real twist is the massive capital flowing into this ICO project, as well as its cutting-edge AI utility and meme generation capabilities. From Private Sale To Public Frenzy: FloppyPepe (FPPE) Is Drawing Real Capital FloppyPepe’s (FPPE) private sale triggered a surge of activity on Telegram and Twitter, selling out in just 24 hours and raising over $907,200 before the public even had access. This early traction reflected serious money flowing into a meme coin project already showing real utility and community interest. The transition into the second presale phase has only expanded the opportunity, with over $2.15 million now raised and momentum increasing daily. A key factor driving renewed attention is the unexpected and generous 80% bonus. At a presale price of $0.00000035 , a $1,000 investment secures 2.86 billion tokens—but using the FLOPPY80 code increases that total to 5.15 billion, a move few anticipated in a market where bonuses have shrunk and oversaturation looms. Paired with staking rewards, referral perks, and a creator rewards program, FloppyPepe’s (FPPE) token model is built for long-term value tied directly to community participation. FloppyPepe (FPPE) is also attracting attention due to its transparency and security infrastructure. The project has passed a thorough SolidProof audit , enables multi-signature wallets, and keeps its community informed through consistent updates across Telegram and Twitter. With exchange listings, CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap tracking, and global rollout plans in place, this project is showing all the signs of a well-positioned breakout. The Presale Twist: A Working Ecosystem Before Launch In a market where many presales overpromise and underdeliver, FloppyPepe (FPPE) has done the opposite. The Meme-o-Matic Machine, an AI-powered meme generation tool, is live in beta and fully integrated into FloppyPepe’s (FPPE) Telegram community, and these memes are posted on Twitter. These Users generate trending-format memes, compete in weekly contests, and engage with a live platform, not locked behind vague roadmaps. That active participation has fueled a rapid rise across both Telegram and Twitter. The Telegram community recently surpassed 8,000 members, driven by a mix of viral creativity, platform transparency, and structured reward systems. FloppyPepe (FPPE) has used this channel not only to build engagement but to showcase real-time product updates, security audits, and roadmap milestones. Alongside Meme-o-Matic is FloppyX AI agent in beta, an AI assistant that introduces automated video creation and market-responsive content, adding real utility and long-term demand for the token Meanwhile, Twitter further fueled this buzz, as influencers and traders dissected FloppyPepe’s (FPPE) zero-tax structure, 3% deflationary mechanics, and ambitious AI roadmap. That wave of attention carried over to YouTube, where creators like Nass Crypto , with over 1 million subscribers, and David in Crypto , a respected voice in the space, broke down the project’s tech stack and floppynomics. Their in-depth coverage brought a new layer of visibility and credibility, resonating with investors who prioritize substance over presale hype The Presale Is Live, The Product Is Working—And FLOPPY80 Is The Advantage What started as a viral moment in Telegram has now become a full-scale movement across Twitter and beyond. FloppyPepe (FPPE) has done what few projects manage to do—it delivered early, engaged its audience deeply, and built serious momentum before the token ever launched. The ongoing second-phase presale is a rare chance to secure a position before listings, marketing rollouts, and platform expansion send the price into open discovery. This is a rare window to enter a meme-driven ecosystem that works. FloppyPepe (FPPE) delivers substance: live tools, serious backing, and an army of meme creators on Telegram fueling the rise.

Bitcoin giant Strategy wants to raise fresh capital by selling shares of preferred stock, with the proceeds earmarked for additional Bitcoin purchases. In a Monday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it intends to sell 2.5 million shares of its 10% Series A Stride Preferred Stock (STRD). The offering will be listed on the Nasdaq, with each share initially priced at $100, offering “institutional investors and select non-institutional investors” a 10% annual dividend yield. “Strategy intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital,” the company said in an official statement. The STRD offering marks Strategy’s third preferred stock issuance this year following its Strike (STRK) and Strife (STRF) offerings, in addition to its effort to raise $84 billion — a combination of both equity and debt — to fund future Bitcoin buys. STRK and STRF are convertible preferred stocks that offer a yield of 13% and 10%, respectively. Strategy is currently the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder after accumulating 580,955 BTC , currently valued at over $61 billion at current market prices. In the Monday announcement, Strategy also pointed out under what circumstances it can redeem the STRD shares. “Strategy will have the right, at its election, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the STRD stock, at any time, for cash if the total number of shares of all STRD stock then outstanding is less than 25% of the total number of shares of STRD stock originally issued in the offering and in any future offering, taken together,” it stated. Strategy’s plan of stockpiling Bitcoin has caused the company’s stock price to grow by more than double during the past year. As such, many publicly listed companies around the world have been mulling the possibility of becoming crypto treasury companies after witnessing the success of Strategy’s Bitcoin playbook. Bitcoin was recently changing hands around $106,613, a 2.4% increase over the past 24 hours, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko . Late last month, the top crypto climbed to an all-time high of almost $112,000 before erasing some of those gains.
United States Senator Cynthia Lummis made a striking statement in an interview with Bloomberg, saying that the US military supports the strategic purchase plan of 1 million Bitcoins. Lummis stated that the US is in an economic war with China and argued that digital assets can play a strategic role in this war. “Guns, bullets, drones, planes… Yes, they are all necessary. But economic warfare is also serious. And we need to be prepared for that,” said Lummis, adding that Bitcoin should be a part of this preparation.

The senator noted that some US generals, especially in Southeast Asia, think it is necessary to have a strategic Bitcoin reserve. “When you look at the leadership of the US military today, you find support for the idea of a Bitcoin reserve,” Lummis said. However, Lummis’s statements have also reignited discussions about whether there is a conflict of interest in his policy decisions. Public questions are rising about whether his son-in-law, a Bitcoin maximalist, Will Cole, is influencing the senator’s cryptocurrency policies. These discussions drew further attention with a statement made by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on May 19. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse said that Lummis canceled a meeting and refused to reschedule, adding, “As a leader in Congress and a senator from the crypto-friendly state of Wyoming, I hope you will show leadership on behalf of the entire crypto industry.” *This is not investment advice.

In a moment of unexpected political whiplash, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of Donald Trump’s most loyal defenders in Congress, is now distancing herself from one of his hallmark legislative efforts, admitting she voted without thoroughly reviewing the bill. The legislation in question, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) by Trump himself, is a sprawling package that aims to boost economic growth, stimulate national security initiatives, and overhaul aspects of federal tech policy. Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in… pic.twitter.com/bip3hztSGq — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) June 3, 2025 MTG’s U-turn to unread AI bill Greene initially backed the bill but now, after reportedly reading more of its contents, she says she’s strongly opposed, especially to a specific section that imposes a ten-year federal ban on state-level regulation of artificial intelligence. “Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years,” Greene wrote in a post on X . “I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights, and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene admits she didn’t read Trump’s controversial provision to strip states of their right to regulate AI for 10 years. Source: @RepMTG The controversial artificial intelligence regulation provision appears to block state-level AI governance for ten years, effectively creating a federal monopoly on AI oversight during a critical period of technological development. Some quarters have also alleged that the bill will give the federal government and its agencies increased capability to carry out surveillance on Americans using tools provided by Palantir. Others see some of the provisions of the bill as the president’s way of enriching select big tech companies, associates and his family members. The change of heart came after Greene discovered the AI provision that prevents states from enacting their own AI-related legislation or oversight frameworks for the next decade, something Greene now calls a “violation of states’ rights.” “We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous,” Greene continued in her social media post. “This needs to be stripped out in the Senate.” Trump loyalists pick issues with his “big beautiful bill” MTG’s opposition puts her at odds with Trump’s legislative priorities, marking a significant break from her typical alignment with his agenda on the same day Elon Musk called the president’s tax bill a disgusting abomination . Known as one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in Congress, Greene has rarely broken ranks with the president’s agenda. However, her willingness to publicly oppose this bill may come as a surprise to many. The congresswoman has vowed not to support the bill again if the AI provision remains, setting up a potential confrontation with the Trump administration. Greene isn’t alone in her criticism of Trump’s comprehensive legislation. Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has been advising the Trump administration, previously called the bill an “abomination,” though for different reasons. This growing chorus of opposition from typically supportive voices suggests potential trouble for the legislation as it moves through the legislative process. President Trump has yet to personally respond to Greene’s reversal. As of Tuesday, the bill is still headed to the Senate, where it’s likely to face additional scrutiny, especially over the AI provision. The controversy also raises questions about the legislative process itself and whether lawmakers have adequate time and resources to fully review complex bills before voting. Some voices on X suggested that single-issue bills will solve the problem and prevent cases of oversight and failure to properly review bills.
