Bitcoin Faces Mixed Signals As Long-Term Holders and Market Dynamics Diverge
With Bitcoin floating just above the $102,000 benchmark, on-chain and market indicators are painting a complicated picture of sentiment, momentum, and capital flow.
And despite the cryptocurrency’s current nosebleed price, certain data trends are starting to hint that its ongoing rally may be hitting some short-term air resistance.
As for the institutional demand side of the equation — which has, for the most part, brought us to this point — it remains robust. And especially with spot ETFs. Bu

1. Institutional Interest: Ethereum is seeing a surge in interest not just from retail investors but also from prestigious financial institutions.
2. Supply Dynamics: The supply of Ethereum available on exchanges has been dwindling.

BelieveApp’s “Tweet-to-Token” Revolution Is Reshaping Project Funding on Solana
In the rapidly developing world of Web3 innovation, not many ideas stimulate as much fascination as BelieveApp’s “tweet-to-token” model.
It’s a new way of funding decentralized projects, and it’s picking up a lot of momentum on Solana. BelieveApp has quickly become not just really popular but also the third most active memecoin launchpad on the Solana network, behind only Pump.fun and Meteora.
Yet underneath the excitement surrounding this altcoin is a much bolder vision — and one that ultimat

Week in BNB Chain: Meme Coins, Lower Gas Fees, and Major Institutional Moves Define a Pivotal Week
The BNB Chain ecosystem saw one of its most noteworthy weeks in recent memory, fueled by a cocktail of soaring market interest, some serious protocol upgrades, and a very public heist.

Timeboost on Arbitrum Hits $400K Revenue Milestone Amid Surge in Usage
A new economic layer is taking shape on Arbitrum, and it’s making noise so fast that it almost seems to be gaining speed. Timeboost, the freshly launched “Express Lane” for prioritized transactions, has made over $400,000 in revenue in less than a month since going live.
With average bids at that range from $25 to $30, the system is quickly proving to be more than just a niche mechanism. It’s emerging as a meaningful force in how users trade and interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) on the

Pump.fun Faces Rising Competition As BelieveApp Gains Momentum in Token Launch Race
In the swiftly changing world of onchain tokenization, where you stand today might not be where you stand tomorrow. For months, Pump.fun has been the undisputed number one in the creation of meme tokens on Solana.
But fresh data shows that it is increasingly being pushed by Bonk.fun and BelieveApp, which have inched very close to it since last month, in what now is racing like hell to define a large part of Solana’s daily network activity.
On one day, across different platforms, 37,800 tokens

Delegate Spotlight: L2BEAT’s Role As a Pillar of Arbitrum Governance
In the decentralized world of DAOs, few names command the level of respect and consistency that L2BEAT has earned. They are one of the most influential voices in the Arbitrum DAO.

Virtuals Ecosystem Sees Resilience As AI Agent Market Adjusts: May 15th Daily Recap
The market for AI agents rewound a fair bit, pushback from institutional trading and some rebalancing of capital that had flowed into AI and other crypto projects over the summer.
But with big names in the space still attracting attention; enthusiasm for new, emerging players in the market ramping up; and some next-level development happening across the Virtuals ecosystem, things ain’t too shabby, really.

Bitcoin’s $2.05T Market Cap Reflects Growing Institutional and Retail Divide
Once again, Bitcoin has reasserted its dominance in the cryptocurrency landscape, where it now commands a total market capitalization of about $2.05 trillion.
At just over $103,000 per coin, the largest digital asset not only leads the pack in valuation but is also evolving in how its supply is dispensed among different classes of holders. New data show a clear and clean breakdown of the Bitcoin supply landscape across three distinct tiers. And if you want to sell them to anybody, these are the

MapleStory Token ($NXPC) Defies Expectations, Proving Crypto Gaming’s Profitability for CEXes
Following a prolonged period of doubt and waning enthusiasm, crypto gaming has returned to the center stage — and it has brought with it a regenerated hunger from centralized exchanges (CEXes).
The event that set this all off? The ripsnorting launch of MapleStory’s native token, $NXPC, which has smashed to smithereens several narratives around gaming tokens and their profitability.

BSC Foundation Doubles Down on AI Tokens With Major SKYAI Investment
In a decisive strategic move that demonstrates an increasing institutional interest in artificial intelligence tokens, the BSC Foundation has made a sizable purchase of SkyAI (SKYAI)—to the tune of $75,000, in fact.
The acquisition was made using decentralized trading platform Mimic.fi and was completed at what looks to be a pretty decent average price per token of $0.04634. Now the Foundation’s total holdings have risen to 2.16 million SKYAI, which, as of this morning, looks to be worth around

Week in GameFi: Market Rebounds, Tap-to-Earn Fades, and SuiPlay Ecosystem Gains Traction
The strength of the GameFi sector returned this week, making across-the-board significant gains in both market cap and trading volume.
With Bitcoin now well over the $100,000 mark, the crypto landscape most associated with gaming seems almost buoyant, even as it leaves behind a couple of outdated models (T2E being one of them).
