Roaring Kitty Hacked? GameStop Stock Roared, Then Whimpered – GameStop (NYSE:GME)

It looked for a moment that Roaring Kitty was back in the meme-stock spotlight after sharing new cryptic posts that had traders scrambling on Monday afternoon.

The first post featured a meme coin on the Solana blockchain, “7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump,” paired with a gif of a cartoon cat wearing a red neckerchief.

The post was up for less than 30 minutes before it was deleted.

This post was also deleted, but the combination was enough to spark speculation across meme-stock and crypto circles, where Roaring Kitty’s posts are often treated as puzzle pieces.

Gill, known online primarily as Roaring Kitty, became a central figure in the 2021 GameStop frenzy after his bullish…

Bitcoin Price Holds Near $82,000 As ETF Inflows Surge And CLARITY Act Battle Intensifies

Bitcoin price hovered in a tight range around 82,000 today, extending a week of steady but cautious gains as structural forces, not retail hype, set the tone for the market.

At time of writing, Bitcoin price trades near 82,000, up about 0.65% from Sunday morning but still roughly 22% below its level a year ago and far off the October 2025 peak above 126,000. 

Over the past week the coin has held mostly between 80,000 and 82,000. The latest leg higher came late last week after the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio signaled reduced risk of further military escalation with Iran, which eased pressure on the dollar and crude oil and supported risk assets.

Behind the calm price…

Liquidity Is Surging And May Find Its Way To Scarce Assets Like Bitcoin – State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF T

Liquidity is absolutely surging- but where is it actually coming from?The Surge

Last week focused on the Yen Carry Trade and noted it as being one of the many marginal drivers of liquidity. With that clearly in the rear-view mirror, as yet another Yen intervention has occurred since that article was published, we need to confront a critical reality:

Dollar liquidity is absolutely soaring.

One of the primary reasons I became more cautious in late-summer/early-fall of last year was due to liquidity very clearly rolling over. Not only was the repo market in increasingly severe distress, the broad money supply was decelerating.

Nominally, M2 was still growing (and almost always does), but that’s…

Ztudium’s Dinis Guarda: Real-World Asset Tokenization Is No Longer A 2030 Bet

Real-world asset tokenization is still treated by many investors as a slow financial market shift. The evidence is starting to move faster than that assumption.

J.P. Morgan says Kinexys has processed more than $3 trillion in transactions since inception and now averages more than $5 billion a day. US banking regulators also clarified in March 2026 that eligible tokenized securities should generally receive the same capital treatment as their non-tokenized form.

The investor question is no longer whether tokenized finance can work in theory. It is whether markets are still valuing it like a 2030 theme while regulated institutions are already building the pipes.

The 2030 Timeline Looks Too… Read more on Benzinga

American Bankers Attempt Last Ditch Effort To Kill Crypto Market Structure Bill Regarding Stablecoins

American Bankers Association (ABA) CEO Rob Nichols sent an emergency Sunday letter to every bank CEO in the country, urging “immediate engagement” against what he called a stablecoin yield loophole in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, days before a Senate Banking Committee markup scheduled for Thursday.

The letter, dated May 11 — Mother’s Day — and addressed to ABA member bank CEOs, asked bank leaders to contact their senators and mobilize their employees to do the same before the committee convenes for a scheduled May 14 executive session on the bill.

“I am reaching out to make every bank leader in this country aware of an urgent advocacy fight that requires…

Bitcoin Stalls Near $80,000, But These 6 Factors Could Change That Soon – Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN)

Why Crypto Is Stuck

The Coinbase Institutional Head of Research said on the Milk Road Show that crypto remains stuck in a “headline driven market,” with traders reacting to fast-moving developments around Iran and broader geopolitical risk.

“You could get a headline at breakfast that really won’t carry over at dinner time,” he said.

David said Bitcoin’s correlation with U.S. equities peaked near 65% in February but has eased in recent weeks. That suggests crypto may be starting to trade on its own drivers instead of simply following stocks.

Those drivers include:

Liquidity conditions

Institutional flows

Long-term holder behavior

Digital asset credit products

Bitmine Slows Ethereum Acquisitions To 26,659 ETH: Is Tom Lee Signaling The Top? – BitMine Immersion (NYS

Bitmine Now Holds 4.31% Of Ethereum Supply

The purchase brings Bitmine’s total holdings to over 5.2 million ETH, representing 4.31% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. That marks over 1 million ETH acquired since January alone.

Lee said the firm is moderating buys as it approaches its long-term goal of owning 5% of the token’s supply. 

“We have decided to slow down our pace of weekly accumulation from over 100,000 [ETH] per week,” Lee said in Monday’s statement. “Our previous pace of buys would have us reach 5% by mid-July,” he added.

The slowdown follows comments Lee made last week at Consensus 2026 in Miami, where he said Bitmine was considering easing purchases as it neared…

Senate Schedules CLARITY Act Markup As Banking Lobby, Democrats Mount Resistance

The Senate Banking Committee has set May 14 as the date for its long-delayed markup of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, the most consequential piece of cryptocurrency legislation ever to reach this stage in Congress, as a last-minute lobbying blitz from major banks and a Democratic ethics standoff threaten to derail the bill before it clears committee.

The executive session is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at Room 538 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., where committee members will debate amendments and vote on whether to advance the legislation to the full Senate floor. Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) confirmed the date last week, and live video feed of…
