Lawyers for Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky argue that prosecutors are stripping him of his humanity to support a harsh sentence disconnected from his true actions. Alex Mashinsky‘s legal team has criticized the U.S. government’s request to sentence the former Celsius Network CEO to at least 20 years in prison, calling it a “death-in-prison sentence” for a non-violent, first-time offender. In a May 5 filing, Mashinsky’s lawyers said the government’s “venom-laced submission recasts this case as one involving a predator with an intent to ‘target’ victims, ‘harm’ them, and ‘steal’ their money.” They argue the Department of Justice ignored Mashinsky’s background in order “to dehumanize him.” “So their submission says nothing about the persecution of his Soviet Jewish refusenik family. There is no acknowledgment of the injuries and losses he suffered as a member of the Israeli Defense Forces.” Mashinsky’s lawyers The lawyers say the submission also omits Mashinsky’s businesses “he founded over thirty years in heavily regulated environments that brought him success well before Celsius, with nary a blemish on his record.” Mashinsky’s team claims the DOJ’s narrative paints him as if he “was born at 59 years old, a fiend,” and that this approach “renders all the more absurd the notion that a man dedicated to service throughout his life suddenly underwent a Jekyll-to-Hyde transformation.” You might also like:Celsius files new appeal against Judge order denying $444m claim on FTX damages Whole person According to the defense, prosecutors have used “savage and primal terms usually reserved for the most violent criminals,” such as saying Mashinsky “deliberately targeted real, ‘everyday’ people,” “plundered” and “preyed,” “destroy[ed] lives,” and “does not even feint at contrition.” The defense has asked the court to consider Mashinsky as a “whole person” ahead of the May 8 sentencing. As crypto.news reported earlier, U.S. prosecutors are seeking a 20-year prison sentence for Mashinsky, calling his actions a calculated fraud that left thousands of customers with billions in losses. According to reports, Mashinsky and his wife withdrew an estimated $12 million in crypto from the Celsius Network before the bankruptcy proceedings began. Celsius, launched in 2018, grew to 200 employees and managed around $10 billion in crypto assets by 2021. More than 200 victim statements were submitted ahead of sentencing, with many calling for a life sentence for Alex Mashinsky. Read more:Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky loses bid to dismiss charges

亿万富翁投资者兼企业家肯·格里芬 (Ken Griffin) 表示，他的公司正在考虑进入加密货币市场，并表示唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 担任总统后市场信心重燃。 Citadel LLC 创始人兼首席执行官格里芬此前曾对加密货币行业表示怀疑，如今他暗示将提供加密货币做市服务和数字资产交易。据彭博社报道，Citadel 创始人表示，该公司是纽约证券交易所最大的做市商，有兴趣在 Coinbase 等平台上提供流动性。 与许多专注于技术的创始人一样，格里芬在佛罗里达举行的 2025 年瑞银金融服务会议上发表讲话时呼吁特朗普政府制定更清晰的加密货币监管规定。 同时，他批评了拜登政府和美国证券交易委员会前主席加里·根斯勒等官员采取的“执法邪恶监管”方式。 你可能还喜欢：Bitfinex 分析师称，Bybit 黑客事件的后果可能会推高以太坊的价格 Citadel 历来回避加密货币市场，理由是监管不确定性。格里芬本人过去是比特币 (BTC) 的强烈怀疑论者，并质疑加密货币的整体效用。然而，自 2022 年以来，他和 Citadel 都逐渐改变了立场。在 Terra 价值 600 亿美元的生态系统崩溃前不久，格里芬暗示该公司将在年内推出加密货币业务。 虽然该计划最终失败了，但格里芬对加密货币的立场随着时间的推移而发生了变化。去年 12 月，当比特币首次突破 10 万美元时，他承认后悔没有早点进入市场。 然而，时间并没有让格里芬完全相信加密货币的优点。“它解决了什么问题？”他当时说道，同时仍然承认 Citadel 有可能满足加密货币流动性需求。 阅读更多：Strategy 以 19.9 亿美元增持 20,356 枚比特币，扩大企业 BTC 持有量

XRP 价格已经失去了第四季度的看涨势头，现在面临更深层次崩盘的风险。 随着加密货币市场持续低迷，瑞波币（XRP）自 2 月 2 日以来首次跌破 2 美元的支撑位。 持续的下滑很大程度上是由美国的宏观经济因素推动的，唐纳德·特朗普威胁对加拿大、墨西哥和中国商品征收高额关税。 这些关税可能导致滞胀，迫使美联储过早降息。事实上，10 年期美国国债收益率已降至 4.26%，而 30 年期美国国债收益率已降至 4.53%。几个月前，由于美联储暗示打算长期维持高利率，两者均徘徊在 5% 左右。 你可能还喜欢：比特币价格调整可能持续到 4 月的原因如下 尽管价格下跌，但瑞波币的基本面依然稳固。美国证券交易委员会结束对瑞波币诉讼的可能性有所提高，尤其是现在该机构已经撤销了对 Coinbase 和 Uniswap 的诉讼。 与此同时，XRP Ledger 生态系统继续吸引更多开发者，对潜在现货 XRP 交易所交易基金的猜测也在增加。如果获得批准，XRP ETF 可能会吸引数十亿美元的资金流入，从而推动对该代币的需求增加。 XRP 价格跌至危险区域 XRP 价格图表 | 来源：crypto.news 技术指标表明，瑞波币可能在未来几天出现强劲的看跌突破，目前它已进入危险区域。价格跌至 1.9615 美元的低点，这是一个关键水平，因为它是头肩形态的颈线。 头肩形态由一个头、两个肩和一条颈线组成。当价格跌破颈线时，确认出现看跌突破。 此外，XRP 的价格已达到 50% 斐波那契回撤水平，并跌破 50 天移动平均线。平均方向指数也飙升至 36，表明趋势强劲，因为 ADX 读数高于 20 通常确认动量强度。 Given these factors, Ripple’s price could decline further to the 61.8% retracement level at $1.6230, where it may experience a reversal. This retracement level, known as the golden ratio, is where most pullbacks typically occur. 如果未能守住这一支撑位，则可能导致 XRP 进一步下跌，可能跌至 1.13 美元，即 78.6% 的回撤位，比当前价格低约 45%。 你可能还喜欢：分析师称 Coinbase 有望赢得 SEC 驳回，这是“重大胜利”

Crypto market consolidates after a rally earlier this week; Bitcoin’s return above $94,000 supported trader sentiment. While most altcoins suffered a pullback in the market-wide correction, three tokens could yield gains for holders in the coming weeks: Dogecoin, Solana and ONDO.  Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL) and Ondo (ONDO) could begin rallying in the coming weeks amidst several catalysts in the ecosystem. From U.S. President Donald Trump’s softening stance on tariffs to Bitcoin’s attempt to reclaim the “digital gold” title, a few altcoin rallies are pending and could yield gains for traders. Table of ContentsBitcoin pullback and what to expectBitcoin bull run strategy, top three tokens to watchDogecoin, Solana and Ondo price forecast Experts believe Bitcoin could see limited upside, pave way for altcoin rally Crypto adoption is rising, DOGE, SOL, ONDO could benefit Bitcoin pullback and what to expect Bitcoin started the week strong, making a comeback above the $94,000 level before correcting mid-week. Early on Thursday, Bitcoin hovered close to the $93,000 support level. The market-wide crypto correction affected altcoins in the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, and tokens have kicked off a slight recovery in the past 24 hours. Cryptos in the top ten ranked by market capitalization | Source: Crypto.news The Bitcoin pullback highlighted two key support zones for BTC and a sticky resistance above $95,000. The two support zones, between $88,465 and $91,935 and $85,230 and $87,076, are key to Bitcoin’s current consolidation phase. Consecutive daily candlestick closes under these levels could signal the beginning of a downward trend in Bitcoin.

The zone between $837 billion and $850 billion is important for altcoins and has served as a support level in previous bull markets. Crypto market capitalization excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum | Source: Crypto.news  Once the altcoin market capitalization breaks into this zone, top altcoins could yield gains for holders. Tokens like Dogecoin, Solana, and Ondo, with pending price rallies, could climb higher. In April 2025, the altcoin market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum grew by 2.2%, from $797 billion to $815 billion. Similar market conditions could drive value higher. If Bitcoin dominance slips and the largest cryptocurrency declines, it could pave the way for an altcoin rally.

The largest meme coin could rally nearly 20% and test resistance at $0.21465, a key resistance level that coincides with the lower boundary of an imbalance zone on the DOGE/USDT daily price chart. RSI, a key momentum indicator, reads 59, and the MACD shows underlying positive momentum in DOGE’s price trend, with green histogram bars flashing above the neutral line. Technical indicators paint a bullish picture for the meme coin in the short term; traders could expect a recovery next week. DOGE/USDT daily price chart | Source: Crypto.news  The Solana daily price chart paints a similar picture with both momentum indicators, RSI and MACD signaling a rally in SOL price. RSI reads 64 and is sloping upwards. It remains well under the “overbought” level at 70, that typically generates a sell signal.  MACD flashes consecutively taller green histogram bars above the neutral line, implying positive momentum underlying Solana’s price trend. SOL could extend gains by 18% and test resistance at a key level of $180. A daily candlestick close above this level and flipping it into support could signal an end to the consolidation phase and the start of an upward trend in Solana. The $125 level serves as key support for the Ethereum-alternative token. SOL/USDT daily price chart | Source: Crypto.news Ondo could also see gains in the coming weeks, with the token breaking out of its consolidation phase. A daily candlestick close above $0.98 could confirm that the token has kicked off an upward trend. A 21% rally could push ONDO to test resistance at $1.1895. The $1.0667 level acts as an intermediate resistance. ONDO could find support at $0.8174, and a decline to this level could trigger a liquidity sweep and a rebound toward R1 and R2 levels. ONDO/USDT daily price chart | Source: Crypto.news Experts believe Bitcoin could see limited upside, pave way for altcoin rally  CoinShares bi-weekly digest published on April 24 notes that global digital asset ETFs recorded inflows of $1 billion, pushing weekly inflows to $2.4 billion. Alongside rising inflows, a decline has been observed in the ETH/BTC ratio, now down to 0.018. Analysts at CoinShares believe Bitcoin has limited upside. While tariff policies remain a key driver of volatility, minor developments are ushering in price swings in cryptocurrencies. Traders remain cautious as Bitcoin reverses gains from earlier this week. Innokenty Isers, Chief Executive Officer at the crypto exchange Paybis told Crypto.news: “In the last 24-hours Bitcoin has started reversing its growth trend and is now hovering at $92,507.12, a sign that the current rally might not be a sustainable one. Current market outlook suggests that Bitcoin price may face more stiff resistance moving forward.  In the last two months, the uncertainty around the tariff war triggered an unusual concern for investors as many decided to temporarily steer clear of more volatile assets like Bitcoin.  Adding to this, the Federal Reserve has spotlighted the inflationary risks the tariff war may introduce. Despite this outlook, there are clear indications of sustained accumulation of BTC by institutional investors and market whales.” Crypto adoption is rising, DOGE, SOL, ONDO could benefit Ethereum, the largest altcoin and a token often labeled as a “zombie” in some circles, has gained 1.83 million new users in just a week, raising hopes for broader crypto adoption and altcoin demand. Data from IntoTheBlock shows a 40% rise in Ethereum adoption. Altcoins and meme coins could benefit from the rising demand for crypto among new users. Dogecoin, considered a blue-chip meme coin, Solana, an Ethereum-competitor that has solidified its place in the top 10 cryptos and Ondo, an RWA token rising in popularity could benefit from an influx of new users and demand from users in the ecosystem.  Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
