Hyperliquid whale turns bearish, flipping $1 billion BTC position from long to short A crypto trader on the platform Hyperliquid has opened one of the largest on-chain short bets in history, putting nearly $50 million on the line to open a $1 billion short position on with 40x leverage, just hours after closing a similarly-sized long bet on the world's most valuable cryptocurrency. James Wynn, also known as "moonpig" on the DEX, opened the 40x short cross-margin position — meaning his entire wallet, worth nearly $50 million, is on the line — shortly after closing a $1.2 billion BTC long position and reducing his historical profit by $17.5 million, according to CoinGlass data. https://www.theblock.co/post/355669/hyperliquid-whale-turns-bearish-flipping-1-billion-btc-position-from-long-to-short

Bitcoin Poised For $120,000 Rally As Wyckoff Accumulation Hits Final Phase, Analyst Says As Bitcoin (BTC) trades within striking distance of its all-time high (ATH) of $108,786, recorded earlier this year in January, several indicators suggest that sustained bullish momentum could soon push the top cryptocurrency to new highs. In a recent post on X, crypto analyst Ted Pillows highlighted that BTC has entered the final phase of the Wyckoff Accumulation pattern. According to Pillows, Bitcoin’s ongoing consolidation just above $100,000 is a “good sign.” https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-poised-for-120000-rally-as-wyckoff-accumulation-hits-final-phase-analyst-says/

Sonic Labs wins judgment for Multichain Foundation to wind up A Singapore High Court has ruled in favor of Sonic Labs’ motion to force the Multichain Foundation to wind up in an effort to recover funds stolen during a 2023 hack. In the May 9 judgment in the Singapore Supreme Court, Justice Kwek Mean Luck granted a request from Sonic Labs, formerly the Fantom Foundation, to declare Multichain bankrupt and appoint liquidators from global audit, tax and advisory service KPMG. Sonic Labs CEO Michael Kong said in a May 14 statement to X that the team behind the layer 1 Sonic blockchain felt it had no choice but to file a lawsuit to forcibly wind up Multichain because its former employees were being “completely uncooperative” and “hid from victims.” https://cointelegraph.com/news/sonic-labs-wins-judgment-multichain-foundation-to-wind-up

Privacy Coins Face EU Ban Under New AML Rules Starting 2027 Privacy coins and anonymous crypto wallets might soon become history in the European Union. As part of a sweeping overhaul to tighten anti-money laundering rules, the EU has announced plans to ban both by July 1, 2027. The message is clear: crypto can stay, but it has to play by the same rules as the rest of the financial system. Regulators make it clear that privacy coins in the EU will not be tolerated under the updated AML framework. The new rules fall under the bloc’s updated Anti-Money Laundering Regulation, or AMLR, and they’re already shaking up conversations around privacy, surveillance, and the future of decentralized finance. https://99bitcoins.com/news/legal/privacy-coins-face-eu-ban-under-new-aml-rules-starting-2027/

Eric Trump: Crypto is going to leave big banks with regret and ‘in the dust’ Big banks are going to regret going after crypto individuals and political individuals, according to Eric Trump, Executive VC at The Trump Organization and the son of U.S. President Donald Trump. "Our system is broken. Modern finance is absolutely broken," said Eric Trump, in a fireside chat with World Liberty Financial Co-Founder Zach Witkoff and Tron Founder Justin Sun at Token2049 in Dubai.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Remains In Positive Zone — What This Means For Price The price of Bitcoin jumped by more than double digits over the past week, putting in one of its best performances so far in 2025. After struggling under $87,000 for the past two months, the flagship cryptocurrency has finally returned above the $90,000 level. It remains unclear whether the recent BTC price surge is a continuation signal for the bull cycle. However, the latest on-chain data suggests that the investor sentiment might be turning positive again, meaning that the Bitcoin bull run could truly be back on. In an April 25 post on the X platform, a crypto analyst with the pseudonym Maartunn shared an on-chain insight into the recent price rally experienced by the world’s largest cryptocurrency. https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin_coinbase-gap-positive-meaning-price/

IMF Cuts Global Growth Forecasts as US Tariffs Lead to Significant Economic Downgrade The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its global economic growth forecasts for 2025, projecting an increase of just 2.8%, down from a previous estimate of 3.3%. This downgrade is primarily attributed to rising tariffs and heightened uncertainty in international trade, which are expected to significantly slow economic activity. Among advanced economies, the United States faces the largest reduction, with growth now anticipated at 1.8%, a decrease from the earlier forecast of 2.7%. The IMF’s updated outlook underscores the challenges posed by escalating trade tensions and their potential impact on global economic stability. https://news.bitcoin.com/imf-cuts-global-growth-forecasts-as-us-tariffs-lead-to-significant-economic-downgrade/

Base to Prioritize Creators Over Traders, Says Architect Jesse Pollak Base creator Jesse Pollak has rejected a trader-first approach, declaring creators and developers his top priority, following a chaotic week. Coinbase’s Layer 2 network Base’s creator, Jesse Pollak, has defended the platform’s focus on creators, following backlash over an experimental content token drop. “If you are a creator or developer and you want to be the #1 priority, we would love to have you on Base,” Pollak tweeted Monday. Pollak was responding to Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen’s criticism, who tweeted Monday, “traders are easily the most important user group in crypto,” not creators or developers. https://decrypt.co/315717/base-creators-over-traders-creator-jesse-pollak

Metaplanet buys additional 330 BTC against crypto market uncertainty Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced today that it has purchased an additional 330 BTC, worth $28.2 million. This is the company's third bitcoin purchase this month, despite market uncertainties driven by U.S. tariff measures. The company said it made the purchase at an average price of 12.18 million Japanese yen, or $85,605 per bitcoin. The latest purchase coincides with bitcoin's first rally above $87,000 since April 2. The world's largest cryptocurrency is up 2.5% in the past 24 hours, trading at $87,279 as of publication time. Metaplanet took on its bitcoin accumulation strategy in April 2024, and continued to make purchases, even during the recent market downturn triggered by U.S. tariff announcements. In April, the company acquired 809 BTC, keeping it on track to reach its year-end target of 10,000 BTC. https://www.theblock.co/post/351337/metaplanet-buys-additional-330-btc-against-crypto-market-uncertainty

SafeMoon CEO Set To Face Trial Despite DOJ Crypto Memo New York prosecutors have stated intentions to proceed with the trial of SafeMoon CEO Braden John Karony, despite a recent directive by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to scale back certain types of crypto enforcement actions. This development adds another layer to Karony’s troubles after the defendant lost his private counsel service due to insufficient funds to cover the legal fees. Crypto-Friendly Memo Fails To Save Karony From Trial On April 7, the US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memo directing prosecutors to abandon all digital assets-related lawsuits targeted at “regulation by persecution”. This action aligned with the broader crypto-friendly policies being implemented by the administration of US President Donald Trump. https://bitcoinist.com/safemoon-ceo-set-to-face-trial-doj-crypto-memo/

Russia Eyes National Stablecoin After US Freezes Garantex-Linked Wallets A senior Russian finance official has called for the development of a national stablecoin following the US government’s freeze of wallets linked to the sanctioned crypto exchange Garantex. The move, which also involved stablecoin issuer Tether, has sparked renewed concerns in Moscow over the vulnerability of relying on foreign-backed digital assets. The push for a Russian stablecoin comes amid a surge in global stablecoin usage. According to a joint study by Artemis and Dune, active stablecoin wallets rose by over 50% year-over-year, with total market capitalization surpassing $200 billion in early 2025. https://99bitcoins.com/news/russia-eyes-national-stablecoin-after-us-freezes-garantex-linked-wallets/
