Cooling in the economy could act as a catalyst for crypto asset growth, while a strong dollar will keep the market in the current range.\"AI treasurer\" and crisis manager: Why is XRP treasury Evernorth assembling such a board of directors? Evernorth Holdings (future ticker XRPN on Nasdaq) has made an unexpected move. In its updated S-4 filing with the SEC, the company confirmed the appointment of two new board members: Robert Kaiden and Derar Islim.This duo is not just \"big names\" for investors, but a pragmatic choice for a company aiming to manage a treasury of $1 billion equivalent in XRP. Kaiden, the current CFO of OpenAI Foundation, is likely needed to bring an understanding of how the economics of AI giants are structured. His involvement fuels interest in the hypothesis that XRP could become a settlement layer for microtransactions between AI agents.Islim, who led Genesis during the collapse of FTX and the subsequent bankruptcy, represents a bet on survivability. His task is likely to build an asset protection system that does not repeat the mistakes of 2022.Despite the star-studded lineup, the actual XRP strategy in the documents is still described in broad terms. The market is waiting for specifics: whether this will be simple holding like Strategy with Bitcoin, or aggressive use of the asset in liquidity and lending.The deal is expected to close in the current second quarter of 2026. If everything goes as planned, Evernorth will become the first \"pure-play\" XRP treasury on the US stock market.Bitcoin enters May 2026: Why DonAlt's \\\"worst-case scenario\\\" is not a crash but patience While the crypto community is guessing when Bitcoin will finally break the psychological $80,000 level, well-known analyst DonAlt, who accurately predicted XRP's 700% rally in 2024-2025, has shared his outlook. In his view, as of May 2026, the worst thing that could happen to the market in the near term is not a catastrophic drop but exhausting consolidation.In a recent tweet, DonAlt emphasized that he does not see conditions for BTC to move significantly lower and that \"chop\" is the worst scenario in his mind right now. By chop, analysts mean a prolonged sideways trend with sharp but short-lived moves in both directions that shake out impatient participants without creating directional movement. Bitcoin price action with the tweet from DonAlt, Source: TradingViewDonAlt notes that panic sentiment has largely disappeared, as support levels were handled cleanly. As of this morning, market conditions confirm the idea of a deadlock.  BTC is trading around $77,200–$77,400, showing moderate growth on the back of positive US tech earnings. Strong demand is seen at $75,000, while the $80,000 zone remains an unbreakable barrier.Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and uncertainty around leadership at the Federal Reserve (Powell's term expires this month) are limiting institutional optimism. DonAlt's main thesis, voiced earlier this week, is that the current cycle simply needs time. Resistance from sellers is still too strong for an immediate move to $100,000, but there are also no grounds for a collapse unless a global force majeure occurs, which, according to the analyst, is pointless to discuss.Ethereum ETFs lose $183 million in a week amid a \"perfect storm\" in DeFi Institutional investors ended April with mixed feelings. Although total net inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs reached an impressive $355.98 million for the month, the final week of April saw a sharp reversal, with funds recording capital outflows of $183 million as per SoSoValue.The main trigger for cooling interest was an unprecedented security crisis in the decentralized finance sector. April 2026 entered history as a month of 28 hacks, during which the industry lost around $635 million.Particular concern among ETF holders was caused not so much by direct thefts but by their systemic consequences. April showed a qualitative jump in hacking strategies. The exploit of Drift Protocol ($285 million) on Solana, prepared over six months using social engineering, demonstrated that even top-level audits do not guarantee full protection. The hack of Kelp DAO ($293 million) triggered a \"bad debt\" issue in the biggest protocol Aave, putting the liquidity of the entire ecosystem at risk.Total Ethereum Spot ETF Net Inflow by the end of April 2026, Source: SoSoValueIt is symbolic that in the same month, on April 7, Anthropic introduced its new model Claude Mythos. While AI tools are becoming the main hope for automating security, experts note that access to powerful language models has also reached malicious actors, which may have contributed to the abnormal frequency of hacks in April.The Ethereum market is now at a unique point, where institutional infrastructure in the form of ETFs is functioning properly, but the fundamental backbone in the form of DeFi protocols is undergoing a serious stress test. May will determine whether the current outflow is a temporary correction or the beginning of a long-term reassessment of the risks of holding the \\\"second cryptocurrency.\\\"Crypto market outlook: Bitcoin options and the May macro storm As the market enters May 2026, Bitcoin has recovered to $77,000-$77,500 after a prolonged sideways period at the beginning of the year. Drivers include strong US tech sector earnings and expectations of Federal Reserve policy easing.Key checkpoints:End of \"options gravity\": Today at 08:00 UTC, expiration of $2.14 billion pinned BTC to the $76,000 level. The removal of this pressure opens the path for a sharp move. Historically, volatility in the first 3-7 days after settlement increases by 4-12%.Bitcoin: The $73,500-$74,000 zone remains a strong support for BTC price. Holding this level is a required condition for a medium-term move toward $80,646 and higher. For ETH, critical support is $2,150, resistance is $2,450.Macro triggers of the week (May 1-8): The market will go through a series of reports, from ISM Manufacturing and JOLTs data (May 5) to the key NFP (expected at 165K) and unemployment rate on Friday. Strong data will strengthen the dollar and extend the Fed's pause, while any sign of economic cooling will act as fuel for a bullish move in crypto assets.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.1","shortVersion":"4.42.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2632567824","isCrawlerRequest":true}
