Bolivia Bans State Oil Company From Using Crypto for Energy Settlements Bolivia, a country that has recently shown several positive signs of integrating crypto into its payments and financial systems, has prohibited the use of crypto for settling energy-related purchases. This measure is part of a series of economic actions aimed at curbing speculation on cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance. Executive Order 5399, which bans YPFB, the state-owned oil company, from purchasing crypto to settle payments, was enacted on May 23 after the rise of the price of stablecoins in parallel markets as traders tried to front-run the company in a for-profit dollar trade.

Crypto Twitter Sentiment: How Traders Can Use CT for Countertrading and Market Analysis The cryptocurrency market is often influenced by sentiment on platforms like Crypto Twitter (CT), but relying on it for trading directionality can be a risky move. A recent tweet by Miles Deutscher, a well-known crypto analyst, on May 19, 2025, highlighted this concern, stating that CT tends to 'echo the daily candle' rather than provide predictive insights. Instead, it serves as a valuable tool to gauge market sentiment and occasionally countertrade prevailing narratives. This perspective resonates with many traders who monitor social media for emotional cues but warns against letting such platforms dictate trading strategies. For context, the crypto market on May 19, 2025, saw Bitcoin (BTC) trading at approximately $68,500 at 10:00 UTC, with a 24-hour gain of 1.2%, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin Bitcoin btc -1.91% Bitcoin dipped 1.6% to around $101,846, losing the $103,100 support level.

XRP breaks out of wedge pattern but experts back another PayFi token for 400% gains XRP has just shattered its recent wedge pattern, igniting fresh excitement across the crypto space. This classic chart move could be the signal bulls have been waiting for, and if momentum holds, XRP might be gearing up for its next major rally. Traders are watching closely to see if this breakout has real legs, but the long-term outlook for XRP is not as assured as some would like. The breakout was fueled by the SEC and Ripple Labs finally coming to a settlement, but it seems the breakout was the peak of XRP this cycle. The bad news for XRP is there’s a new PayFi player in town, and it may just kick XRP’s knees out from under it. Remittix is already rumored to go up 400x, but looking at its use case, 400% may be on the low side. Let’s see how Remittix stacks up against XRP.
