Cantor Fitzgerald 与 Anchorage 和 Copper 合作，推动 20 亿美元比特币融资

Twenty One Capital has added another 4,812 Bitcoin to its treasury after a fresh purchase by major backer Tether ahead of a planned Special Purpose Acquisition Company merger. On May 9, Tether acquired the BTC at an average price of $95,319 per token and transferred the assets to an escrow wallet, as revealed in a May 13 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The purchase, worth roughly $458.7 million, brings Twenty One Capital’s total holdings to 36,312 BTC, placing it just behind Strategy and MARA Holdings in terms of corporate Bitcoin ownership. Tether is one of the leading stakeholders in Twenty One Capital, alongside crypto exchange Bitfinex and Japanese tech giant SoftBank. The trio co-founded the company in April 2025 with a shared goal of creating a Bitcoin-native public firm focused on long-term BTC accumulation and institutional access. As noted in a business combination agreement signed in April, Tether agreed to buy Bitcoin equivalent to the expected proceeds from a PIPE investment and transfer it into a designated wallet to be sold to Twenty One Capital at the close of the merger. CEO Paolo Ardoino has previously said that the stablecoin issuer views the venture as a long-term bet on Bitcoin’s institutional relevance and value proposition. “Twenty One will take a Bitcoin-first approach that aligns with our vision—prioritizing accumulation over speculation and building long-term value for those who understand what Bitcoin represents,” Ardoino said last month.

Once complete, Twenty One Capital will be listed under the ticker “XXI” on public markets. Cantor Fitzgerald is also providing advisory services and securing additional capital to support the company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy. Earlier filings disclosed that the company plans to debut with at least 42,000 Bitcoin in assets. As a part of the commitment, Tether will provide 23,950 BTC, SoftBank 10,500 BTC, and Bitfinex around 7,000 BTC, all of which will be converted into shares priced at $10 each. Last month, Twenty One Capital positioned itself as a future competitor to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), stating its goal is to become the “superior vehicle” for capital-efficient Bitcoin exposure. Rather than focusing on traditional financial metrics, the company said it will prioritize “Bitcoin per share” as its key success indicator. At the helm of this initiative is Strike founder Jack Mallers, who was appointed CEO of Twenty One Capital in April.  Known for his vocal support of Bitcoin and his work on Lightning-based payments, Mallers described the new company as a stock “built by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners.” Mallers has outlined ambitious plans for Twenty One to roll out Bitcoin-native financial products, including lending tools and capital market offerings. “Our mission is simple: to become the most successful company in Bitcoin,” Mallers said at the time.

Sui is riding a wave of bullish momentum as its native ecosystem metrics surge, with the stablecoin market cap once again approaching its recent all-time high. Sui (SUI) has climbed nearly 29% in the past week and 70% over the last 14 days, outperforming the broader crypto market, which gained just 1.3% in the same timeframe. This rally comes as activity on the Sui network shows steady growth. As per DeFiLlama data, the total stablecoin market cap on Sui has rebounded to $886 million, just $2 million short of its all-time high set earlier this week. In the past year, stablecoin inflows into the network have been rising. According to an Apr. 28 post on X by on-chain analyst Torero Romero,  29% of Ethereum (ETH) outflows through the Wormhole Bridge over the past year have been directed to Sui. This establishes the network as a growing alternative layer-1, despite Ethereum’s continued dominance and a robust developer ecosystem.  $SUI received 29% of Ethereum's outflows over the past 365 days (Wormhole Bridge). pic.twitter.com/pZcLwI7Qhg— ToreroRomero (@Torero_Romero) April 28, 2025 You might also like:SUI or SEI: Which one will dominate the 2025 bull market?

Sui-based decentralized exchanges are also seeing rising momentum. Weekly DEX volume hit $3.64 billion last week, marking a 75% increase from the $2.08 billion recorded the week before. SUI is currently trading at $3.56 after recently breaking out from consolidation. Strong bullish momentum is indicated by SUI consistently closing above the upper Bollinger Band. Bullish conviction is confirmed by the price action being well above the 50-day moving average of $2.70 and the rising volume supporting the recent green candles. Sui price analysis.

The next psychological level is close to $4.50 if bulls break through the resistance at $3.95. Support on the downside is located at $2.70 and $3.51. A deeper retracement towards the $2.00–$2.20 range might be triggered by a break below these. Read more:Sui launches virtual Mastercard with xPortal and xMoney in Europe

Vinanz, a Bitcoin-focused firm listed on the London Stock Exchange, has secured $4 million to expand its U.S. operations and pursue a potential Nasdaq listing. London-listed Bitcoin (BTC) mining firm Vinanz has secured up to $4 million in investment from an undisclosed “global asset manager,” with plans to boost its U.S. operations and pursue a potential dual listing on Nasdaq, the firm revealed in a regulatory filing. The deal was secured through U.S. investment bank Dominari Securities, who have been working with the firm since April. According to the filing, the investment agreement is structured into two tranches. The first one, valued at $2 million, will be used to support the firm’s efforts in growing its Bitcoin reserves. The second tranche, also $2 million, can be used later if certain conditions are met.

The firm said the listing would give it more access to institutional investors and U.S. capital markets, though no timeline for the dual listing has been revealed thus far. Vinanz moved to the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market in January, after previously trading on the AQSE Growth Market. Read more:Trump-linked American Bitcoin merges with Gryphon Digital Mining

Solana is down 6%, reflecting a broader decline in the markets, as liquidations contribute to volatility. Solana (SOL) is down amid a broader market decline, caused by a spike in liquidations. On Monday, May 19, Solana dropped 6.02%, trading at $163.97 amid a sector-wide pullback caused by the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Almost all crypto tokens that aren’t stablecoins were in the red today, with a few suffering double-digit losses. Bitcoin was the least affected, only losing 0.52% and still trading at $104,770. The reason for the decline is likely due to widespread liquidations of long positions, which usually cause volatility. The total long and short liquidations in the last 25 hours amounted to $642.65 million. For Solana, this figure was at $23 million. In both cases, most of the liquidations came from long positions. This suggests that futures traders overestimated market performance up to this point. Liquidations, unstaking drives Solana down A spike in liquidations has a strong effect on volatility. Specifically, liquidations increase the supply of tokens in circulation, which can put downward pressure on their price. In this context, Solana’s pullback is aligned with the broader market trend.

For instance, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes believes that the altcoin season may start when Bitcoin reaches $110,000. This will likely prompt many investors to convert their Bitcoin gains into even bigger potential gains with altcoins. At the same time, Solana is also seeing some positive signals. For instance, the recently approved 2X Solana ETF saw $30 million in inflows since its launch in February. This suggests that the likely approval of spot Solana ETFs in the U.S. has the potential to serve as a future price catalyst, especially as ETFs make it easier for some investors to gain exposure to crypto tokens.
