Breaking News

Solana drops a major update for Web3 identity!

The Solana Foundation just launched the Solana Attestation Service (SAS) — a decentralized identity verification protocol that allows apps to validate off-chain data like KYC checks and user accreditation, without ever handling sensitive user info.

SAS introduces cryptographically signed, reusable credentials issued by trusted parties, making cross-platform onboarding seamless and secure.

This move positions Solana at the forefront of compliance and privacy in crypto, just as global interest in Web3 continues to surge.

A big leap forward for trust, identity, and decentralization.

Macro-Economic Update

U.S. Economy Contracts for First Time in 3 Years — But There's a Twist

The U.S. economy shrank by 0.2% in Q1 2025, a slight upgrade from the initial -0.3% estimate, marking the first quarterly contraction since 2022. The dip came as consumer spending slowed to just 1.2% — its weakest pace in nearly two years — and federal spending dropped 4.6%.

Despite the drag, there were bright spots: fixed investment jumped 7.8%, the strongest since mid-2023, and exports rose 2.4%. While not enough to keep GDP in the green, these gains suggest parts of the economy remain resilient — even as trade tensions and weaker consumption weigh on growth.

Wallet Inflows & Outflows Weekly Report

Top 2 Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH)

Bitcoin Inflows Spike, Ethereum Still in Accumulation Mode

It’s been a positive week for Bitcoin inflows, with a notable green spike suggesting a pause in profit-taking. This signals renewed confidence among holders as capital flows back into BTC wallets.

Ethereum, meanwhile, shows more movement overall, but with a near-neutral balance between inflows and outflows. This aligns with our recent market analysis, indicating that the accumulation phase is ongoing, gradually absorbing the older short positions still open in the market.

Economic Trends Affecting Crypto Markets

U.S. PMI Strength Fuels Inflation Fears, Global Growth Diverges: Tariffs, AI Job Cuts, and Crypto in the Crosshairs

Stronger-than-expected U.S. PMI data signals economic resilience but also rising inflation, driven by tariffs, raising fears of holding rates. Meanwhile, Europe shows weaker growth, highlighting a growing economic divide that may impact crypto tied to fiat.

Japan’s bond yields spiked after a weak auction, stirring global market concerns. At the same time, AI-driven job cuts are reshaping labor markets, hinting at long-term shifts in spending and investment that could ripple through the crypto space.

Key Macroeconomic Insights

Trump Tariffs Reinstated, Markets Rattled: Trade Tensions Rise as Consumer Confidence Climbs

A U.S. federal appeals court has temporarily reinstated President Trump's tariffs, following a trade court's ruling that deemed them unlawful. This legal back-and-forth has introduced uncertainty into global trade dynamics, potentially impacting markets and investor sentiment. 

Meanwhile, U.S. consumer confidence rebounded in May, with the Conference Board's index rising to 98.0 from 85.7 in April, suggesting increased optimism about the economy. However, the crypto market experienced volatility, with Bitcoin's price declining by 2% to $106,094 and Ethereum dropping by 4.5% to $2,635, reflecting investor caution amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
