    JPMorgan Says Bitcoin Will Keep Leading Crypto Market

    JPMorgan Chase warned Ethereum and other altcoins are unlikely to outperform Bitcoin anytime soon. In a May 14 client note, analysts cited Ethereum’s weak network activity, slow DeFi growth, and limited real world adoption since 2023. Bitcoin continues attracting stronger ETF inflows while more holders move coins into long term storage. JPMorgan also pointed to rising selling pressure on Ethereum despite upcoming upgrades like Glamsterdam. The bank believes Bitcoin’s growing dominance near 60% strengthens its position as crypto’s leading store of value globally.

    Ethereum Exchange Balances Rise Sharply

    Ethereum exchange supply climbed from 4.2% to 4.6% within just ten days, signaling increased short-term trading and possible selling pressure among holders. The rise suggests more investors are moving $ETH onto exchanges, often viewed as preparation for active trading or profit-taking. Despite the recent increase, Ethereum balances on exchanges remain near historic lows compared with levels seen since 2015. Analysts say the broader trend still reflects long-term accumulation, although near-term market volatility could increase if exchange inflows continue rising.

    AI Helps Bitcoin Holder Recover $400,000 Wallet After 11 Years

    A longtime Bitcoin holder says Anthropic’s Claude AI helped recover access to a wallet containing about 5 BTC, now worth roughly $400,000, after more than a decade of failed attempts. The user had spent weeks brute-forcing passwords before uploading files from an old computer into Claude, which identified a forgotten wallet backup. The backup matched recovery details already written in a notebook, allowing the wallet to be unlocked. The case highlights AI’s growing usefulness in digital forensics and data recovery rather than breaking cybersecurity itself.

    DeFi Dev’s Solana Strategy Hit by Token Crash Despite Revenue Beat

    DeFi Development Corp posted stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue but reported a steep earnings loss after a sharp decline in Solana prices battered the value of its crypto treasury. SOL fell more than 30% during the quarter, triggering major unrealized losses and dragging DFDV shares far below last year’s highs. Still, the company continued increasing its SOL holdings per share and reaffirmed aggressive accumulation targets, betting that staking rewards and validator income can eventually separate it from traditional crypto treasury firms.

    CPI Data Released, US Inflation Rises to 3.8%

    Fresh U.S. inflation data just delivered another upside surprise, reinforcing fears that inflation is heating up again. Headline CPI rose 3.8% year-over-year in November, above the 3.7% forecast and sharply higher than the previous 3.3% reading. Core CPI also climbed to 2.8%, beating expectations. On a monthly basis, core inflation accelerated 0.4%, signaling persistent price pressures across the economy. The hotter-than-expected report could strengthen the Federal Reserve’s “higher for longer” stance, reducing chances of near-term rate cuts and increasing volatility across stocks and crypto markets.

    Solana ETF Inflows Hint at Growing Institutional Demand

    Solana ETFs recorded $8.4 million in net inflows last week, signaling rising institutional interest in the asset despite broader market uncertainty. Net inflows indicate more capital entered the funds than exited, suggesting steady accumulation from regulated investors rather than speculative retail trading. Analysts note the timing is significant, with SOL still trading near key support levels around $98 — a pattern similar to the early stages of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF adoption cycles. The growing inflows could strengthen the long-term bullish case for Solana.

March CPI came in at 3.3%, but forecasts for April are now climbing toward 3.7% year-over-year — the highest inflation reading in nearly two years. Rising energy prices tied to Middle East tensions are already pushing costs higher, while tariff impacts have yet to fully hit the data. Core CPI is also expected to rise, strengthening fears that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated for much longer than investors hoped.

    Is Bhutan Quietly Exiting Bitcoin?

    Bhutan has reportedly moved another 100 BTC — worth around $8.1 million — from government-linked wallets, fueling speculation the country may be accelerating its Bitcoin selloff. According to Arkham data, Bhutan has already sold over $230 million in BTC during 2025 while still holding roughly $252 million. If sales continue near the current pace of $50 million monthly, the kingdom could fully exit its Bitcoin position before September. Even after the selloff, Bhutan would still secure an estimated $767 million profit from its long-term crypto strategy.

    Australia is reportedly preparing its biggest capital gains tax overhaul in decades, with plans to remove the 50% tax discount for crypto investors holding assets over 12 months. The proposal, expected in the 2027 budget, would replace the current system with a full inflation-indexed tax model on real gains.
