XRP price recovery hits resistance, raising bull trap concerns

Sen. Lummis stated that Donald Trump supports her BITCOIN Act, which would mandate that the government accumulate 1 million Bitcoins. Bitcoin strategic reserve could soon become a reality. On a Friday, May 2 speech to the U.S. Senate, Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that U.S. President Donald Trump supports her BITCOIN Act. The BITCOIN Act is the only solution to our nation’s $36T debt. I’m grateful for a forward-thinking president who not only recognizes this, but acts on it. pic.twitter.com/NVWH6v2EcH— Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) May 2, 2025 I’m particularly pleased with President Trump’s support for my strategic Bitcoin reserve initiative, which will address our national debt, while securing America’s position as the global leader in financial innovation,” Senator Cynthia Lummis stated.

Notably, Lummis stated that Bitcoin puts “the everyday American and the everyday worker all over the world in control over their own money.” As Bitcoin comes into more usage, its use makes the whole system more secure, more robust, and more capable of serving our needs all over the world. We should be the global leader,” Lummis. The act, which Lummis proposed in the Senate, mandates the U.S. government to acquire 1 million Bitcoins (BTC) over five years. This acquisition would make the U.S. government the largest single holder of Bitcoin, which has a capped supply of 21 million.

At current prices, the U.S. would need to invest around $76 billion in BTC to reach the 1 million BTC target. However, prices are unlikely to remain stable, as markets would likely see this move as a major bullish signal. The relatively illiquid supply of Bitcoin, compared to traditional assets, means that Bitcoin’s price would likely rise significantly once the acquisition starts. U.S. would also have to compete with Bitcoin giants such as Strategy, which has announced plans to invest $84 million in BTC.

Solana meme 币今年遭遇了严重挫折，散户投资者损失了数十亿美元。 大多数 Solana meme 币暴跌 大多数 Solana (SOL) 模因币的价格都暴跌了两位数，总市值跌至 100 亿美元。 据 CoinGecko 称，该估值已从 1 月份的 250 多亿美元下降。 Solana meme 币 | 来源：CoinGecko 1 月 19 日推出的特朗普官方股票 (TRUMP) 从 103 美元跌至 16 美元，而市值从 1 月份的 140 多亿美元跌至今天的 32.7 亿美元，这意味着投资者损失了 107 亿美元。 矮胖企鹅（PENGU）代币的市值已从 32 亿美元跌至 5.54 亿美元，而梅拉尼娅（MELANIA）代币的市值已从 19 亿美元跌至 1.43 亿美元。 过去 30 天内，只有少数 meme 币价格飙升。Would token 上涨了 24%，而 Comedian、Unicorn Fart Dust 和 Just a chill guy 均上涨了两位数。 你可能还喜欢：由于 LIBRA 丑闻导致交易活动减少，Pump.fun 将 1100 万美元 SOL 转移到 Kraken 业内人士称，Pump.fun 是最大受益者 持续的 SOL 模因币崩盘让许多投资者损失了数十亿美元。唯一的受益者是 Solana、Pump.fun 等模因币生成器和内部人士。 Solana 的网络在过去几个月中产生了大量费用，主要来自这些 meme 币。TokenTerminal 的数据显示，Solana 在过去 180 天内收取了 7.48 亿美元的费用，今年收取了 3.28 亿美元。它今年产生的费用甚至超过了以太坊 (ETH)。 Solana 最大的代币生成器 Pump.fun 也赚得盆满钵满。据 DeFi Llama 称，Pump 本月手续费收入达 6800 万美元，1 月份则达 1.21 亿美元。 泵费 | 来源：DeFi Llama Solana DEX 网络（如 Raydium、Meteora、Jupiter 和 Orca）也受益匪浅，因为它们的交易量激增。过去几个月，它们处理的交易量超过 1 万亿美元。 内部人士和早期采用者，俗称狙击手，是最大的受益者之一。链上数据显示，他们中的大多数人已经抛售了手中的代币，赚了数百万美元。 一个很好的例子就是梅拉尼娅。南森数据显示，最赚钱的交易员赚了 8200 万美元，并已全部售出。如下所示，最赚钱的梅拉尼娅投资者已经抛售了所有代币。 梅拉尼娅表情包币利润领袖纷纷抛售 | 图片来源：Nansen 特朗普官方也是如此，最赚钱的交易员赚了 2900 万美元，然后卖掉了所有代币。大多数持有者都卖掉了他们的代币。 特朗普表情包币利润领袖纷纷抛售 | 图片来源：Nansen 仔细观察大多数其他 Solana meme 币，就会发现同样的情况。这也可能解释了为什么 Solana 的价格会暴跌，尤其是在最近的 Libra 崩溃之后，它最初上涨，随后在数小时内暴跌。 SOL 较今年最高水平下跌了 40% 以上。 为什么 Solana 是 meme 币的首选区块链 该代币的最大优势之一是其高速、低成本的交易。 Solana 能够每秒处理超过 65,000 笔交易 (TPS)，且费用极低，与以太坊不同，以太坊的高昂 gas 费用可能会阻碍小额交易。 此外，Solana 程序库让开发人员可以轻松部署新代币。Pump.fun 等平台允许用户在几分钟内推出 meme 代币，使代币创建变得民主化，并推动 meme 驱动资产的快速增长。 强烈的社区和零售兴趣 Bonk (BONK) 和 Dogwifhat (WIF) 等 meme 币的成功培育出了一个强大的零售和社区驱动市场。这种环境鼓励投机和病毒式采用，使其成为 meme 币爱好者的完美游乐场。 这些 meme 币还迅速在主要的中心化交易所和去中心化交易所（如 Raydium (RAY) 和 Jupiter (JUP)）上市。这确保了高流动性和可访问性，使新项目能够迅速获得关注。 NFT 与模因文化的协同作用 许多基于 Solana 的 meme 币还利用 NFT 或非同质化代币进行品牌推广、营销和社区参与，进一步提升了它们的病毒式吸引力。 BonkBot 和 Maestro 等交易机器人也可以作为工具，让用户可以直接从 Telegram 立即购买和出售 meme 币。 阅读更多：LIBRA 崩盘成为 Solana 自 FTX 以来最大的丑闻：Jupiter 和 Meteora 如何让零售业陷入困境
