Kaito AI 宣布推出 KAITO 代币，代币经济学细节待定

Ripple’s attempt to finalize a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been halted after a federal judge dismissed their joint request as procedurally flawed.  The decision, issued by Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on May 15, was first shared by attorney James Filan on X, who also posted the accompanying court documents. Filan noted that Judge Torres had “denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling.”  The motion was deemed “procedurally improper” because it wasn’t filed under Rule 60, which requires proof of exceptional circumstances when modifying a final ruling. #XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP Judge Torres has denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling. “If jurisdiction were restored to this Court, the Court would deny the parties’ motion as procedurally improper.” pic.twitter.com/4s95ILvzsy— James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 (@FilanLaw) May 15, 2025 The rejected motion, filed on May 8, sought to dissolve an injunction and reduce a $125 million civil penalty to $50 million. Both parties had agreed to the deal as part of a broader effort to settle the case during ongoing appeals. However, the judge’s ruling effectively blocks that plan unless the motion is refiled correctly.

Nothing in today’s order changes Ripple’s wins (i.e. XRP is not a security, etc). This is about procedural concerns with the dismissal of Ripple’s cross-appeal. Ripple and the SEC are fully in agreement to resolve this case and will revisit this issue with the Court, together. https://t.co/vBQdBD3FNe— Stuart Alderoty (@s_alderoty) May 15, 2025 Commenting on the setback, attorney Fred Rispoli added that both sides now have to “do it the hard, messy way” by formally requesting relief under the appropriate legal rule. The SEC sued Ripple in 2020 for allegedly selling XRP as an unregistered security, sparking the start of a protracted legal battle. The SEC won a partial decision in 2023 that ruled that institutional sales qualified as securities. However, it was decided that retail sales did not violate security laws. The delay has shaken market sentiment. XRP fell about 7% over the last day, while CoinGlass data indicates a 9.4% drop in open interest to $4.93 billion. As traders responded to the court’s ruling and the uncertainty it created, long positions worth over $21 million were liquidated. Traders are keeping a close eye on XRP’s next move as it retests support at $2.36. Read more:New XRP ETF reaches $67m AUM as price outperforms Ripple

The United States has imposed sanctions on a Myanmar warlord and the militia he leads for their involvement in major cyber scams, including cryptocurrency-related fraud, that have harmed U.S. citizens. U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced the sanctions against Saw Chit Thu, the warlord leader of the militia group Karen National Army. The OFAC sanctions are also against Saw Chit Thu’s two sons Saw Htoo Eh Moo and Saw Chit Chit  as well as KNA, with the Treasury Department designating them for not just cyber scam syndicates, but also human trafficking and cross-border smuggling. Per the Treasury Department, the Myanmar militia group’s transnational crimes include cryptocurrency-related fraud schemes. OFAC noted in the press release that U.S. victims lost over $2 billion in 2022 and more than $3.5 billion in 2023. On May 1, 2025, the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network identified Cambodian financial institution Huione Group as key money laundering player in the Southeast Asia region. U.S. authorities say most of the cyber scams hitting Americans emanate from the region. Huione Group, which serves as a critical money laundering conduit for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and criminal organizations, is in the U.S. crosshairs.

The laundering and “pig butchering” scams have netted billions of dollars in revenue for the criminal entities. According to OFAC, Saw Chit Thu is a key figure in Myanmar’s scam economy, with his ties to the country’s military junta helping his criminal operations enabled from a KNA-controlled zone along Myanmar-Thailand border.   The United Kingdom and the European Union sanctioned Saw Chit Thu in 2023 and in 2024 respectively.

Fartcoin 刚刚超越 Bonk，成为市值第二大的 Solana 模因币，此前 Fartcoin 股价上涨 15%，市值突破 10 亿美元大关。 过去 24 小时内，Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) 上涨逾 15%，突破 1 美元心理阻力位，截至发稿时交易价为 1.06 美元。凭借此轮上涨，Fartcoin 的市值已突破 10 亿美元，超过了 Bonk (BONK)，后者目前市值约为 9.8 亿美元。 FARTCOIN 的突破并不令人意外，因为其价格走势近期火爆，突破了 3 月 29 日至 4 月 9 日盘整的 0.40 美元至 0.55 美元区间。4 月 9 日，该 memecoin 强势突破，成交量激增，价格一度飙升至 0.78 美元的盘中高点。这一势头持续至今，4 月 11 日价格触及 0.97 美元，随后小幅回落，进入短暂的盘整阶段。 价格走势很快恢复上涨趋势，突破此前高点，并突破1美元关口。FARTCOIN目前的交易价格远高于20日均线和50日均线，因此趋势明显看涨。如果这种势头持续下去，下一个短期目标价位将在1.20美元至1.25美元左右。然而，RSI指标接近70，这可能预示着即将出现回调。 资料来源：TradingView 您可能还喜欢：根据历史趋势，狗狗币价格有望飙升 500%——继狗狗日之后的又一值得庆祝的事件 与此同时，Bonk 在过去 24 小时内略有下滑，持续在 0.0000095 美元至 0.0000138 美元之间波动，与 Fartcoin 的爆发式突破相比，其动能相对疲软。移动平均线呈看涨趋势，价格在区间顶部附近盘整，如果成交量开始回升，这可能是突破前的先兆。然而，近期成交量远低于 3 月份的峰值，这表明此次突破尝试仍缺乏定力——这可能是持续区间波动或缓慢上涨的潜在迹象。 来源：crypto.news 如果每日收盘价高于该区间，且后续走势和成交量上升，则可确认突破，下一个直接价格目标在 0.000015 美元左右，该价格曾两次被拒绝——分别在 3 月初和 3 月下旬。 您可能还喜欢：这就是为什么 Kaspa、Fartcoin、Solana、Shiba Inu 等山寨币价格上涨的原因

2025 年 4 月 8 日，播客《The Wolf of All Streets》的主持人 Scott Melker 在他的每日新闻通讯《The Wolf Den》中大胆宣称。他称 Strategy 的联合创始人 Michael Saylor 是现代历史上最糟糕的交易员之一，后者以购买数百万比特币而闻名。Melker 对此给出了理由，但......他是认真的吗？ 为什么梅尔克说塞勒是个糟糕的交易员？ 实际上，梅尔克给塞勒的交易能力打了这么低的分数只是为了概括出一个更大的问题：无法从根本上把握市场时机。但首先要说的是。 截至 4 月 8 日，Strategy 持有超过 528,000 比特币。Melker 分析了 Strategy 进行大量 BTC 购买的价格，并得出结论，其中约 20% 的购买价格高于 90,000 美元，而 BTC 购买 4.5 年期间的平均价格为 67,400 美元，仅比当前价格低 10,000 美元。 Melker 概述说，在 2025 年的九次 BTC 购买中，Saylor 只有三次低价购买，而其余购买都是以高价进行的。此外，Melker 还指出，在这三次低价 BTC 购买中，有一次是“仅”购买了 130 个比特币，而 Saylor 通常一次购买数千个比特币。所以，这一次，它并没有为 Strategy 节省多少钱。 所有这些发现都表明，Saylor 在决定何时购买另一批比特币时犯了新手错误。此外，似乎在 4.5 年多的时间里，Strategy 的投资增长并不多，或者至少没有达到炒作的水平。考虑到比特币是通过扩大 Strategy 的债务来购买的，Saylor 似乎对自己在做什么一无所知。 阅读更多：迈克尔·塞勒 (Michael Saylor) 会撤走支持吗？ 情节转折 然而，看过 Saylor 演讲和采访的人都知道，他对比特币的态度并不影响购买时的美元价格。Saylor 更感兴趣的是购买尽可能多的比特币，这意味着对他来说，最重要的指标之一不是以美元等值表示的价格，而是所购买的比特币占总供应量的百分比。至于价格，Saylor 只会说一枚比特币的价格等于一枚比特币。 1 比特币 = 1 比特币— Michael Saylor (@saylor) 2025 年 4 月 7 日 在他的演讲“比特币为美国”中，他提醒听众，美国 78% 的土地是用 4000 万美元买下的。他将购买比特币比作用一毛钱买下美国土地。对于塞勒来说，如今比特币的任何价格都很低。我们总是早早的。他敦促美国政府收购高达 25% 的 BTC 总供应量，以保持在比特币竞赛中的全球领先地位。仅供参考：2025 年 2 月，塞勒表示，到 2045 年，BTC 的价格将达到每单位 1300 万美元左右。 我们以 4000 万美元的价格购买了美国 78% 的土地。美国应该购买比特币。pic.twitter.com/peBUix9AC3— Michael Saylor (@saylor) 2025 年 3 月 11 日 Melker 非常理解 Saylor 的逻辑，他在文章中继续表示，我们不应该根据 Saylor 把握市场时机的能力来评判他。Melker 大胆地宣称，把握市场时机根本是不可能的（如果你不是沃伦·巴菲特的话）。根据 Melker 的论述，我们可以把握市场时机，直到我们认识到当前的 BTC 价格仍然很低。Saylor 感兴趣的是长期价值，而不是短期价值。Melker 写道： 对于企业来说，以接近 Strategy 的成本基础进入比特币领域，现在是最好的时机。虽然短期内不可能在规模上与他们匹敌，但有机会在接近 Saylor 平均水平的水平积累 BTC，这是市场之神的罕见礼物。 虽然大家都知道 Saylor 对短期效应不感兴趣，但 Strategy 会以某些实际价格投资比特币。而且，正如 Melker 所概述的那样，在很多情况下，Strategy 都是在“错误”的时刻做出投资。专家认为，尽管 Strategy 正在损失部分资本，但该公司不太可能面临破产。例如，Crypto Quant 首席执行官 Ki Young Ju 表示，只有当小行星撞击地球时，Strategy 才会破产。 16K 是上一个周期的底部。现在谈论它就像在 BTC 达到 60K 时喊 3K 一样。如果 BTC 在经历了所有机构采用、ETF 和 MSTR 购买后再次跌至 16K，那就和小行星撞击地球一样糟糕。â Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) 2024 年 12 月 17 日 他特别指出，只有当 BTC 价格跌至 16,000 美元而 Strategy 不采取行动时，它才可能破产。即使在当前全球经济动荡的情况下，也很难想象比特币会跌至这一水平。比特币上次价格达到 16,000 美元是在 2023 年 1 月初。Melker 指出，如果 Saylor 想更好地把握市场时机，“他可以打电话给 Ray Dalio 或 Ken Griffin，让一个量化分析师和研究人员团队在晚餐前为他运行新模型。”所以事实证明，《万街之狼》嘲笑我们，说 Saylor 是我们这个时代最糟糕的交易员之一。 阅读更多：庞普利亚诺和塞勒呼吁建立储备，比特币竞争愈演愈烈

VIRTUAL rallied as much as 38% today following renewed investor interest after the Virtuals’ team rolled out a big Genesis update aimed at boosting transparency across the ecosystem. According to data from crypto.news, Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) surged to an intraday high of $1.67 on the morning of May 1, extending its gains to nearly 300% from last month’s low.  As of press time, its market cap has crossed the $1 billion mark, with daily trading volume reaching nearly $600 million, a 60% increase from the previous day. Today’s surge adds fuel to a rally that kicked off back on April 25, when VIRTUAL finally broke out of the $0.40–$0.80 range, where it had been consolidating since mid-March. Since pushing past that consolidation zone, the price has more than doubled, gaining over 100%. The breakout follows a multi-month downtrend that began after the token hit an all-time high of $5.07 on Jan. 2.  The main driver behind today’s momentum was the recent update to Genesis Launch, a new token distribution mechanism that helps bring users, devs, and AI agents into the VIRTUALS ecosystem. With the latest update, developers can now choose to auto-lock their token allocations and set clear, transparent vesting schedules, all of which are visible to users. Per a company announcement, this makes it easier for users to assess which projects carry less risk and are worth backing, giving the whole ecosystem a stronger sense of credibility. You might also like:VIRTUAL price wakes up as post-breakout momentum builds, eyes $4 next Another key catalyst driving VIRUAL’s gains was the recent listing of the token on crypto Binance.US. Listings on major exchanges typically tend to drive renewed investor interest and liquidity, drawing in both retail and institutional buyers. The ongoing surge was accompanied by an uptick in futures open interest, which just hit a three-month high of $186 million, way up from $39 million this time last month per CoinGlass data. Rising open interest often signals growing demand and speculative activity from traders. Meanwhile, its social sentiment has remained positive for the past four days, and the number of holders with 10,000 to 1 million VIRTUAL tokens has increased over the last two days, indicating more demand among mid-to-large holders. VIRTUAL price analysis On the daily USDT chart, VIRTUAL is currently trading inside an ascending channel pattern. A break above this channel could open the door to more upside ahead. VIRTUAL price, 50-day and 200-day EMA — May 1 | Source: crypto.news Also, the 20-day EMA (blue) has recently crossed above the 50-day EMA (green), forming a golden cross. That’s a strong bullish signal and usually suggests a bigger uptrend is already underway. Adding to the momentum, the SuperTrend indicator has flipped green, reinforcing the positive outlook. VIRTUAL Supertrend chart — May 1 | Source: crypto.news Based on this setup, the next key target for VIRTUAL is the $2 psychological resistance level, about 48% higher than where it currently sits — a level last seen at the start of April. Traders on X also appeared optimistic about VIRTUAL’s next leg up and have set even higher targets. According to pseudonymous analyst CryptoBull_360, VIRTUAL looks poised for a major breakout above its horizontal resistance zone on the 4-hour/USDT chart, with strong daily closes above a key trendline. Source: X/CryptoBull_360 If momentum holds, bulls could be eyeing an 80–100% upside move from current levels, the analyst noted. Others, like Bitboy, also believe VIRTUAL could see more upside if it manages to hold above $1.60.  At press time, VIRTUAL was exchanging hands at $1.63 per token.  Read more:Virtuals Protocol’s revenue plummets as VIRTUAL price nears oversold zone Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
