山寨币季节指数达到 36，加密货币市场仍处于比特币季节

唐纳德·特朗普和梅拉尼娅的模因币在周末飙升，成为价值数十亿美元的代币。 官方特朗普（TRUMP）代币的市值为 93 亿美元，而梅拉尼娅特朗普（MELANIA）代币的市值为 12 亿美元。 尽管这些代币在特朗普就职典礼前后可能会继续上涨，但有几个因素表明它们可能在未来几天崩盘。 首先，大多数以名人为主题的代币在最初都会经历飙升，但一旦炒作消退，就会回落。例如，说唱歌手 Iggy 的 MOTHER 代币在最初几天内上涨了 1,000% 以上，达到 0.2410 美元的高点。然而，此后它下跌了 91%，交易价格为 0.020 美元，接近历史最低点。 其他热门代币也出现了类似的模式，例如 Daddy Tate (DADDY)、Jason Derulo 的 JASON 和 Caitlyn Jenner 的 JENNER。“哄抬价格并抛售”现象在 meme 代币中也很常见，例如 Kekius Maximus 和 Popcat。 你可能还喜欢：受币安推动，MELANIA 代币价格飙升逾 75% 其次，这些代币可能会因“谣言买入，新闻卖出”现象而崩盘。特朗普和梅拉尼娅代币在唐纳德·特朗普就职典礼前飙升，但一旦炒作平息，市场进入新常态，代币可能会下跌。 随着这一新阶段的开始，内部人士和大型投资者（鲸鱼）可能会出售其持有的代币以获利，这可能会让散户投资者承担损失。人工智能代理领域的 meme 代币 ai16z (AI16Z) 也出现了类似的情况。如下所示，利润最高的投资者出售了他们的代币，可能会让小投资者承担风险。 Ai16z 顶级利润领导者已售出 | 来源：Nansen 特朗普和梅拉尼娅可能会掉落大量 meme 币 此外，历史表明，许多加密货币最初都会飙升，然后在一段时间后回落。Shiba Inu 在 2021 年跃升至 0.000088 美元，目前比其历史高点下跌了 76%。同样，狗狗币比其历史高点下跌了约 50%，而 Floki 下跌了 57%。 由于美国证券交易委员会的政策，特朗普和梅拉尼娅代币可能会崩盘。大多数加密货币投资者都为加里·根斯勒时代的结束欢呼，并期待着保罗·阿特金斯的到来。 过去几年，阿特金斯一直是加密货币行业的积极支持者。然而，作为美国证券交易委员会主席，他的一些政策可能并不像加密货币投资者预期的那样友好。 此外，由于币安和 Coinbase 等最大的加密货币交易所已经上架了 TRUMP 和 MELANIA 代币，因此目前它们缺乏任何明显的催化剂。 从技术角度来看，最近的飙升是威科夫加价阶段的一部分，该阶段的特点是需求增加。此阶段通常紧随其后的是资产下跌时的派发和减价。 你可能还喜欢：MELANIA meme 币飙升超过 50%，Bitget 也加入炒作行列

据 CoinDesk 报道，由花旗集团前高管创立的初创公司 Receipts Depositary Corp. (RDC) 计划推出 XRP 支持的证券。 此举将允许机构通过美国监管的市场基础设施访问 XRP。 RDC 尚未回应 crypto.news 的评论请求。 你可能还喜欢：特朗普和美国关税威胁持续，加密货币市场转红 大约一年前，RDC 宣布推出首个比特币存托凭证 (BTC DR)，将机构级比特币所有权纳入受监管的美国证券生态系统。 BTC DR 以美国存托凭证 (ADR) 为蓝本，允许合格机构买家 (QIB) 使用与传统证券相同的基础设施来持有和交易比特币。 XRP 证券将以相同的方式通过存管信托公司 (DTC) 进行清算。 RDC 的联合创始人 Ankit Mehta、Bryant Kim 和 Ishaan Narain 都曾在花旗集团工作过。这家初创公司得到了资产管理公司富兰克林邓普顿、金融服务公司 BTIG 和风险投资公司 Broadhaven Ventures 的支持。 阅读更多：报道称，特朗普表情包币推出后，超过 700 种山寨币涌入市场

A group of nine Senate Democrats who previously backed crypto-friendly legislation are now threatening to derail a landmark stablecoin bill, signaling deepening divisions over how the fast-growing digital asset sector should be regulated. In a surprise Saturday statement first reported by Politico, the senators declared they would not support the GOP-led bill “in its current form” if it reaches the Senate floor, citing a range of unresolved concerns. Their demands for changes focus on several key areas: safeguards to prevent illicit financial flows, stricter rules on overseas stablecoin providers, national security, stronger guarantees that stablecoins won’t undermine the safety and soundness of the existing financial infrastructure, and tougher penalties on noncompliant actors. The move comes just days before the chamber is expected to hold a procedural vote on the legislation, which aims to create the first federal framework for stablecoin issuers — digital tokens typically pegged to the U.S. dollar or other assets.

Ruben Gallego (Ariz.), Mark Warner (Va.), Lisa Blunt Rochester (Del.), and Andy Kim (N.J.) — all of whom previously voted in favor of the bill when it passed the Senate Banking Committee in March — now say the legislation still “has numerous issues that must be addressed.” The letter, also signed by Sens. Raphael Warnock (Ga.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), John Hickenlooper (Colo.), and Adam Schiff (Calif.), emphasized a continued willingness to negotiate. “We are eager to continue working with our colleagues to address these issues,” the senators wrote. “As stablecoins continue to grow in popularity, it is critical for Congress to work in a bipartisan fashion to create a regulatory framework that sets forth clear rules of the road.” Notably absent from the statement were the bill’s two Democratic co-sponsors: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (Md.). GOPeeved The bill’s lead sponsor, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), responded to the pushback with a warning and a challenge. “We have a choice here. Move forward and make any remaining changes needed in a bipartisan way, or show that digital asset and crypto legislation remains a solely Republican issue,” he said, stressing the need to solidify U.S. dominance in the digital asset space. The defection adds a new layer of complexity to an already contentious process, especially as the Trump family’s growing involvement in the digital asset space — including plans for a new stablecoin venture — has injected fresh political sensitivities into the debate. With the bill now hanging in the balance, Democrats may hold the leverage to reshape key provisions — or stall one of the crypto industry’s most significant regulatory breakthroughs to date.

The SEC is continuing to investigate Coinbase over past statements about its user base, despite recent moves under President Trump to roll back crypto enforcement,The New York Timesreported. According to four people familiar with the matter, the SEC inquiry centers on Coinbase’s past claims of having more than 100 million “verified users,” a figure prominently featured in its 2021 IPO filing.  You might also like:Why France is suddenly the world’s epicenter for “crypto kidnappings” User number issues Regulators are examining whether that number may have misrepresented the scale of the company’s user base and misled investors. Coinbase stopped citing the metric in 2023, acknowledging it may have overstated unique users since individuals could register multiple accounts. Coinbase, which is working with law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, says the investigation began under the Biden administration and should be closed.  Chief legal officer Paul Grewal called it “a holdover investigation” and noted the company ceased using the metric over two years ago, according to theNYT.  Still, the inquiry reflects how some SEC oversight has persisted even as the agency, now led by crypto-friendly Chair Paul Atkins, has dropped numerous enforcement actions, including a major lawsuit against Coinbase filed last year. The investigation comes as Coinbase gains institutional clout. The company was added to the S&P 500 this week, and CEO Brian Armstrong has become increasingly visible in Washington.  In March, he attended a White House crypto summit, sitting just a few seats from President Trump. Coinbase also disclosed a data breach this week that could cost up to $400 million, according to an SEC filing. You might also like:Coinsilium raises £1.25m to fund its Bitcoin treasury strategy

Major stock indices were up today on continued U.S. trade talks with China, after Google dragged Nasdaq down with it. Positive sentiment prevailed in the broader markets, though the tech sector saw some turbulence. On Wednesday, May 7, the Dow Jones rose 377 points, or 0.92%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.42%. The Nasdaq, however, hovered just above the opening level, up 0.07%, after briefly diving 200 points earlier in the day. The tech-heavy index fell sharply from a high of 17,793 to a low of 17,600 in under an hour, largely due to pressure on major tech stocks. Notably, Google was one of the biggest losers, dropping 8.11% following reports that Apple plans to shift its Safari browser’s focus to AI-powered engines.

Renewed trade talks boost markets Despite tech stocks tumbling, markets were up on news of renewed trade talks between the U.S. and China. Notably, reports surfaced that U.S. officials were meeting with Chinese representatives to resolve the tariff crisis. Talks are set to take place this week on the unprecedented 145% U.S. tariff rate on all Chinese goods, and the retaliatory 125% Chinese tariffs. While these talks are encouraging, it is likely that negotiations are going to last at least several months.
