According to The Block, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, noted that three enterprise-grade blockchains—Arc (by Circle), Canton Network, and Tempo (by Stripe)—have collectively raised over $1 billion in funding recently. All three funding rounds occurred after the signing of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. Hougan believes this legislation broke a prior regulatory stalemate that had discouraged institutional capital from entering the space. Hougan identified three key signals: First, all three blockchains prioritize native privacy-preserving transactions as a core design feature, addressing institutions’ need for transaction confidentiality. Second, the implementation of the GENIUS Act has significantly reduced regulatory uncertainty; the next critical variable is the pending Clarity Act, from which stablecoins and tokenization infrastructure stand to benefit. Third, these blockchains are backed by top-tier institutions—including Goldman Sachs, Citadel, BlackRock, Stripe, and Visa—marking a stark contrast to Ethereum and Solana, which emerged from grassroots origins. Hougan stated that his firm’s capital remains primarily allocated to native crypto projects, and he believes these emerging enterprise chains will raise the overall competitive bar and attract additional capital inflows.

According to Amr Taha, a CryptoQuant analyst, following the release of U.S. April CPI data—which came in higher than expected—Bitcoin derivatives markets witnessed synchronized risk reduction. Open interest across four major exchanges—Binance, Gate.io, Bybit, and OKX—collectively declined by approximately $1.25 billion. Gate.io saw the largest drop, at roughly $578 million; Binance followed with about $473 million; Bybit and OKX declined by approximately $123 million and $75 million, respectively. This synchronized contraction across multiple platforms indicates that the deleveraging was not an isolated incident confined to a single exchange, but rather a broad, market-wide defensive response to macroeconomic data. Analysts note that the decline in open interest may stem from long-position liquidations, short-covering, or proactive leverage reduction—and should not be interpreted in isolation as a definitive bearish signal. However, large-scale, synchronized open interest contraction triggered by macro catalysts typically signals that derivatives traders are rapidly adjusting their risk exposure.
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a whale withdrew 3.79 million LIT (worth $3.55 million) from OKX and Bybit and deposited them into the Lighter Vault.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on X platform that although the U.S.-Iran conflict and inflationary pressures continue to pose challenges to the market, the altcoin market has recently begun to show signs of recovery. After experiencing an overall correction of over 50%, the altcoin sector is gradually regaining activity. This round of adjustment is not only affected by the BTC correction but is also related to market token dilution. Currently, there are approximately 51 million altcoins in the market, with 46% deployed on Solana, 36% on Base, and 10% on BNB Smart Chain. Recently, the overall performance of altcoins listed on Binance has recovered to levels seen since September 2025. Currently, about 21% of altcoins listed on Binance have reclaimed the 200-day moving average, compared to only 2% in February of this year that remained above this key technical level. Darkfost believes this indicates a gradual resurgence of market interest in altcoins, serving as an important signal for investors looking to allocate to altcoins. However, it is still too early to declare the start of an altcoin season, as market liquidity remains limited.
