Bybit is gearing up to offer more than just crypto, with plans to roll out U.S. stocks, commodities, and indices by the end of the current quarter. During a May 3 livestream, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou announced that the exchange plans to roll out trading for U.S. stocks, commodities like gold and oil, and stock indices by the end of the second quarter of 2025. Soon, Bybit users will be able to trade popular U.S. stocks like Apple, Microsoft, and MicroStrategy, alongside commodities and indices, all within Bybit’s existing system. These new products will connect with the platform’s current infrastructure, including the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, which already offers leveraged gold trading. Industry watchers see Bybit’s expansion as part of a broader trend where crypto exchanges and traditional finance are starting to blend.  While Bybit brings stocks and commodities into its lineup, some traditional trading platforms are moving in the other direction, looking to offer crypto products.

The latest rollout builds on Bybit’s efforts to enhance the customer experience. Bybit is also reportedly leveraging artificial intelligence through tools like CryptoLens and TradeGPT to deliver real-time market insights, project analysis, and token-specific data. However, not everything has been smooth sailing for the Dubai-based exchange. In February, Bybit faced a massive security breach that led to the theft of 500,000 ETH, worth about $1.5 billion, marking the biggest crypto theft to date. While Zhou initially reassured users that their funds were safe and that the platform could cover the losses, he later admitted in an April 21 update that roughly 27.6% of the stolen assets have gone completely dark and are no longer traceable.

Kraken 交易所因违反反洗钱法于 2024 年被禁止，现正准备重新加入印度市场。 The exchange has been working with local authorities to secure the permits required to resume operations. According to a news reporting by The Economic Times, Kraken has appointed Vishesh Khurana, co-founder of Shiprocket and managing partner at Tribe Capital India, as an advisor to lead its India expansion efforts. Arjun Sethi, founder of Tribe Capital and Kraken’s co-CEO, is expected to play a key role in shaping the exchange’s strategy in the country. Nine offshore exchanges, including Kraken, were blacklisted by India’s Financial Intelligence Unit last year for breaking the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. To operate legally, exchanges must register with the FIU, implement Know-Your-Customer compliance, and report suspicious transactions.

The FIU has previously granted clearance to Binance and KuCoin, paving the way for Kraken’s possible approval.  根据 CoinMarketCap 交易所排名，Kraken 目前是全球第七大加密货币交易所（按 24 小时交易量计算）。该交易所 2024 年的收入为 15 亿美元，是其 2023 年 6.71 亿美元收入的两倍多。 与此同时，Kraken 因与 Barstool Sports 创始人 Dave Portnoy 的关系而受到批评。Portnoy 与多起 memecoin 哄抬和抛售阴谋有关。他被指控操纵市场，发行并迅速出售代币，随后价值暴跌。 加密货币社区质疑，为何 Kraken 尽管被指控有不道德行为，仍继续支持他。X 上的一名用户写道，“当 Dave Portnoy 每天都公开嘲笑这个领域时，Kraken 还要继续赞助他多久？” 阅读更多：Coinbase CPO 敦促美国国会对加密货币监管采取行动

A cryptocurrency investor who prematurely sold a large position in the TRUMP meme coin has returned to the market by purchasing 337,000 tokens. The current price is nearly double their previous selling price. On-chain analyst Ember CN reported that the whale used 5.196 million USDC to re-enter the market and paid an average price of $15.39 per TRUMP (TRUMP) token. This purchase follows the investor’s previous decision to sell 630,000 TRUMP tokens at $8.70 each. This was just 20 hours before the announcement of a dinner event with former President Trump, which caused the token’s value to surge. “He missed the explosive surge after the dinner plan was announced. Today, he got back in at $15.39,” Ember CN noted. The timing of the investor’s initial sale was unfortunate, as they missed potential profits of approximately $3.8 million by exiting their position before the price spike.

This has positively impacted the token’s value but drew scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers. According to the official TRUMP leaderboard, the largest holder currently possesses over 1.22 million tokens, while the second-place position holds approximately 1.19 million. Meanwhile, other traders have been actively restructuring their portfolios to capitalize on the TRUMP token’s surge. Blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain identified one particularly successful trader who swapped their entire holdings of 1.18 million Fartcoin (worth approximately $1.22 million) for 78,671 TRUMP tokens.

However, the meme coin is still down by close to 80% since its all-time high of $73. The promise of direct access to the former president has created a competition among holders trying to maintain their ranking on the leaderboard to secure an invitation.

Coinbase 东南亚区域主管哈桑·艾哈迈德 (Hassan Ahmed) 在接受彭博社采访时谈到了他对加密货币当前抛售的看法以及美国政策转变的影响。 艾哈迈德表示，尽管目前数字资产行业表现疲软，但他对长期前景仍持乐观态度。当被问及当前的抛售是由整体情绪还是更广泛的宏观经济因素推动时，艾哈迈德表示，他认为宏观经济状况而非加密货币特定问题才是主要原因。 “We’re in this macro malaise sort of phase where there’s just much more focus on fiscal policy, tariffs, rate cuts, the government U.S. debt maturing this year. And I think the market has to climb that wall of worry for all risk assets,” Ahmed explained. Impact of U.S. regulatory shift on global markets Ahmed also discussed how global crypto policies can shift under the leadership of the current Trump administration. A shift away from former President Joe Biden’s crypto stance represents a “huge regulatory and structural unlock”. Notably, Operation Choke Point and Operation Choke Point 2.0 created an unfavorable environment. Financial institutions were unwilling or unable to engage with crypto firms. 但艾哈迈德表示，情况正在开始改变。 他说道：“我们认为，这一切不仅会消失，而且是 180 度的转变，美国将大力发展加密货币。” 比特币战略储备和全球影响 艾哈迈德还认为，主要金融中心，尤其是新加坡，需要重新考虑其对加密货币行业的态度及其对该行业未来的愿景。 “这确实重新定义了整个游戏规则。所有司法管辖区和中心都应该重新审视其针对 G20 的政策，”艾哈迈德说。 He also proposed that creating a strategic bitcoin reserve could be a smart move for nations looking to position themselves strategically in the digital economy. Creating a reserve is a “smart idea” and “something that they should be taking a closer look at.” You might also like:Why is the crypto market crashing today?

Litecoin price held steady on Wednesday, a day after the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the Canary LTC ETF.  Litecoin (LTC) rose to $93.70, its highest level since March 26, and 43% above its lowest level in April. The coin rallied even the SEC delayed approving a spot LTC ETF by Canary, a fast-growing asset management company. As a result, the odds of approval on Polymarket dropped to 75% from this week’s high of 80%. A spot LTC ETF is seen as having higher chances of approval due to Litecoin’s similarity to Bitcoin. Both are proof-of-work coins, with key differences in their maximum supply caps and mining algorithms. Bitcoin (BTC) has a maximum supply of 21 million coins and uses the SHA-256 algorithm. Litecoin, on the other hand, has a cap of 84 million and utilizes the Scrypt algorithm, which is more memory-intensive.

Ethereum ETFs have seen about $2.5 billion.
