Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) correction continued into Tuesday morning, although one analyst seemed confident the coin would reach $0.27 on the next leg up.



What happened: The dog-themed memecoin lost over 9% in the last 24 hours, reversing the gains made the day before. The trading volume rose 1.70% to $3.55 billion.



Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Rekt Capital said DOGE was retesting the key pre-Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) halving resistance of $0.22 as new support.



"Retest is now in progress. Hold green, and at least $0.27 would be next," the analyst predicted.

That said, the Relative Strength Index, used to determine if the asset is overbought or oversold, flashed a &#8220;Neutral&#8221; signal for the coin, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/WIFUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView. The Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, also showed no clear dominance.

Dogecoin Slips Early Tuesday — But Signs Point To A Rebound Toward $0.27

Payments-focused cryptocurrency XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) retained strong momentum in the early hours of Monday, while higher-valued coins retraced.



What happened: XRP rose by over 3% in the last 24 hours, defying corrections in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).



The 24-hour trading volume soared 150% to $10.59 billion, highlighting high liquidity and trader engagement.



Over the past week, XRP has posted a gain of 18.80%, primarily due to news of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45322133/xrp-price-breaks-higher-as-ripple-settlement-lifts-legal-woes">formal settlement agreement</a> between Ripple Labs and the SEC, which might bring the multi-year legal battle to a close.



The coin has also profited from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45366281/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-retreat-stocks-rally-after-us-china-tariff-de-escalation-analyst-sees-opportunity-in-2100-2250-if-eth-corrects">U.S.-China tariff de-escalation</a>.



The XRP derivatives market was also boosted, with Open Interest rising 14% in the last 24 hours and more than 70% of Binance traders betting on an increase, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to Coinglass.

Widely followed cryptocurrency influencer Sjuul Follings stated XRP was showing "nice strength."



"Structure is bullish, support held, so I have to assume we are moving to range high next," Follings wrote, predicting a move to $3

XRP Rallies Over 3% Tuesday Morning — Is The Coin Heading Toward $3?

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood applauded Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) on its inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 index, marking the first cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45365186/coinbase-stock-jumps-nearly-11-after-hours-monday-heres-why">company to achieve this milestone</a>.



What Happened: Wood responded to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong&#8216;s announcement by congratulating both him and the company on X, calling the recognition &#8220;well deserved.&#8221; 



She noted that while active managers like ARK Invest rely on fundamental research rather than index providers to select stocks, the inclusion of Coinbase in a major index would force index-tracking funds to take notice. &#8220;Index-sensitive managers will be compelled to consider COIN now,&#8221; Wood wrote. 



The S&amp;P 500 addition represents a watershed moment for cryptocurrency legitimacy in traditional finance, potentially forcing index fund managers to allocate capital to the digital asset space. 



Armstrong highlighted this achievement as validation that &#8220;crypto is here to stay,&#8221; reflecting growing mainstream acceptance of the asset class despite its historically volatile nature.

Why It Matters: Wood has maintained an exceptionally bullish outlook on cryptocurrency markets, recently reiterating ARK&#8217;s forecast of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reaching between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45335755/cathie-wood-stands-firm-on-bold-700000-bitcoin-prediction-for-investors-says-bull-case-in-the-1-5-million-range">$700,000 and $750,000 by 2030</a> in her base case, with a bull case target of $1.5 million. 



She attributes this dramatic growth potential to Bitcoin&#8217;s capacity to capture market share from gold, increasing institutional adoption and emerging market applications. 



This S&amp;P 500 inclusion comes amid Coinbase&#8217;s aggressive expansion efforts, including its recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45287050/coinbase-acquires-deribit-in-2-9b-deal-to-expand-crypto-derivatives-business">$2.9 billion acquisition of crypto</a> options exchange Deribit and the launch of 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) futures through its Commodity Futures Trading Commission -regulated exchange, making it the first regulated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45324908/coinbase-launches-24-7-bitcoin-ethereum-futures-trading-what-does-that-mean">U.S. exchange to offer around-the-clock access</a> to leveraged crypto derivatives.

Cathie Wood Says 'Index-Sensitive Managers Will Be Compelled to Consider' Coinbase As Crypto Exchange Platform Joins S&P 500 Index

Economist and market commentator&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;projected Monday that the next Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) pullback would trigger an unrealized loss for Michael Saylor-led Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) on its BTC purchases.



What Happened: During his YouTube podcast, Schiff weighed in on Bitcoin recapturing the crucial $100,000 level and Strategy buying billions in the cryptocurrency funded by debt.



&#8220;His average cost now is almost 70,000 a bitcoin, so it&#8217;s getting higher and higher,&#8221; he said.



Schiff predicted that Strategy&#8217;s average acquisition cost might reach $70,000 by his next purchase, and the subsequent Bitcoin decline could push the firm &#8220;into&nbsp;the red&#8221; for the first&nbsp;time. &#8220;We&#8217;ll see what kind of fireworks that sparks,&#8221; he added.



Strategy didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Saylor&#8217;s company Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has been heavily investing in Bitcoin. The firm reported acquiring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45349057/strategy-buys-134b-in-bitcoin-at-99856-cites-155-btc-yield">13,390 BTC for approximately $1.34 billion at an average price of $99,856</a> per coin on Monday, pushing their total Bitcoin holdings to 568,840 BTC, accumulated at a combined cost of $39.41 billion and an average purchase price of $69,287.



Notably, the Bitcoin treasury company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44704504/michael-saylor-still-trusts-bitcoins-long-term-potential-even-as-strategy-risks-going-into-losses-on-btc-buys">came close to experiencing an unrealized loss</a> on its investments last month after the apex cryptocurrency slipped below $75,000 following President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariff announcement.



Schiff, a fierce critic of all things Bitcoin, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237876/peter-schiff-predicts-microstrategys-bankruptcy-due-to-bitcoin-investment-strategy">consistently questioned Strategy&#8217;s Bitcoin playbook</a>, arguing that its commitment to repay a large sum of money to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">debt holders</a>&nbsp;could be at risk if the leading cryptocurrency falls sharply.

Peter Schiff Predicts 'Fireworks,' Says Michael Saylor's Strategy Will See Unrealized Loss During Bitcoin's Next Bearish Dip

The Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin project shortlisted the top 220 holders eligible for an exclusive dinner with President Donald Trump on Monday, with top wallets linked to foreign entities.



What Happened: The meme coin&#8217;s official website posted the <a href="https://trumpdinner.gettrumpmemes.com/">leaderboard</a>, stating, &#8220;President Trump will see YOU on May 22 at the Gala Dinner in Washington D.C.&#8221;



The top position on the leaderboard, with about $17.68 million in Trump&#8217;s meme coin, is associated with a wallet named &#8220;SUN,&#8221; which, according to Lookonchain, is owned by Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) founder and cryptocurrency billionaire Justin Sun.



Interestingly, Sun is also a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42198909/trump-linked-crypto-platform-world-liberty-financial-appoints-justin-sun-as-advisor-after-30-million-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">leading investor and advisor</a> at World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance platform backed by the Trump family.



Sun has been a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44543856/justin-sun-features-on-forbes-cover-talks-crypto-and-trump-linked-investments">controversial figure</a> and faced legal pressures from the SEC on charges of fraud and market manipulation. Earlier in February, both parties—Sun and the SEC—requested a 60-day stay in the proceedings to explore a potential resolution.



Sun didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

It also highlighted the entry of Kain Warwick, an Australian crypto investor, into the top 220.



Why It Matters: The exclusive gala dinner has raised concerns about the potential for corruption, with critics arguing that it allows wealthy and possibly foreign actors to buy access to the former president.

What Happened: Bitcoin witnessed a big sell-off after the market opened, slipping below $101,000, but recovered to the mid-$102,000s by evening.



Ethereum traders also cashed in, dragging its price to $2,411.59 before a recovery late evening.



Bitcoin's market dominance fell further to 61.9%, while Ethereum's share rose to 9.1%, suggesting rotation of capital away from the apex cryptocurrency.



The pullback resulted in liquidations worth more than $690 million in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations accounting for $489 million.



Bitcoin's Open Interest dropped 0.73% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, bets against the cryptocurrency in the Binance derivatives market fell sharply, although the majority were still bearish.



"Greed" sentiment prevailed in the market, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.



Top Gainers (24-Hours)

The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.29 trillion, following a 1.93% decline in the last 24 hours.



Stocks started the fresh trading week with a bang. The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 1,160.72 points, or 2.81%, to end at 42,410.10. The S&amp;P 500 rose 3.26% to close at 5,844.19, while the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite popped 4.35% to end at 18,708.34.



The surge came after the U.S. and China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">agreed to slash their retaliatory tariffs</a> by over 100 percentage points, allaying concerns of a trade war.

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe said he would be interested in the $2,100-$2,250 area if Ethereum sees a pullback.



"I expect shallow corrections, but would be diving into these as opportunities," the trader revealed his strategy.

Another widely followed analyst, Rekt Capital, noted that ETH has reclaimed the $2200-$4000 macro range and will "likely" lift across the range over time.



"Any dips, if needed at all, would only solidify $2,200 as range low support," the analyst predicted.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Retreat, Stocks Rally After US-China Tariff De-Escalation: Analyst Sees Opportunity In $2,100-2,250 If ETH Corrects

Dog-themed meme coin Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WIF</a>) continued its upward march Monday, leaving market heavyweights trailing.



What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based token spiked over 5% to become the second-biggest cryptocurrency gainer over the last 24 hours. Its trading volume popped 176% to $1.64 billion, making it one of the most traded meme coins in the 24-hour period.



WIF defied the pullback in blue-chip currencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), which fell 1.88% and 6.51%, respectively.



Notably, the memecoin's Open Interest slid 2.34% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to Coinglass. Typically, a decline in Open Interest combined with a price increase implies that shorts were covering their positions.



Furthermore, over 70% of Binance traders with open WIF positions were long as of this writing, signaling that the rally would sustain..

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index, used to determine if the asset is overbought or oversold, flashed a "Sell" signal for the coin, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/WIFUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView. To the contrary, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence, which compares two exponential moving averages of price, generated a "Buy."



Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, WIF was exchanging hands at $1.09, up 5.12% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Year-to-date, the coin has lost 41.26%.

Dogwifhat Shoots Up 5%: What's Going On?

Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is set to join the S&amp;P 500, replacing Discover Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) in the benchmark index, according to a Monday announcement.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).



Coinbase&nbsp;went public on April 14,&nbsp;2021, through a direct listing&nbsp;on the Nasdaq under the&nbsp;ticker COIN. The company boasted a market capitalization of nearly $53 billion as of this writing.



Discover, which will be delisted, had a 0.10% weight in the index, <a href="https://www.slickcharts.com/sp500">according </a>to Slickcharts.

Trader Notes: Altcoin Sherpa remains bullish on Bitcoin long-term but warns of a likely pullback in the short term, though the timing and depth remain unclear.

Voicing a similar opinion, Sherpa <a href="https://x.com/AltcoinSherpa/status/1921973201770332279">advised</a> that if anyone is looking to buy Bitcoin for long-term positions and aren&#8217;t very active, it&#8217;s probably best to wait for a dip, potentially to the low to mid $90,000s.



ShardiB2 <a href="https://x.com/ShardiB2/status/1921979353820225736">points </a>to $103,400 as a critical daily close level. A close above would invalidate a potential local top, but advises caution for longs at current levels, noting higher time frame signals are more reliable.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip While XRP Holds Firm: Is A Pullback Coming?

Canaccord Genuity analyst Joseph Vafi maintained a Buy rating on Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated the $32 price forecast</a>.



The analyst writes that he sees consistent progress at Hut 8 under the leadership of CEO Asher Genoot and his team, who have been in place for approximately five quarters.



While the past year has primarily involved operational streamlining and realignment within Hut 8, Vafi believes the future holds more significant potential.

Specifically, the analyst expects Hut 8 to navigate the complex challenge of maximizing the value of its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) miner power portfolio and existing assets while simultaneously pursuing emerging opportunities in AI hosting without hindering either endeavor.



The analyst notes that the U.S. Bitcoin miners have grown via capital markets, but public markets often undervalue them despite strong returns and potential cost advantage over direct BTC buys.



The analyst adds that the company&#8217;s American Bitcoin vision might prioritize BTC accumulation over max mining output, potentially mirroring MicroStrategy&#8217;s treasury success.



Overall, the involvement of Eric and Donald Trump Jr. in American Bitcoin suggests that the new company&#8217;s activities will likely extend beyond solely mining Bitcoin, writes the analyst.



Today, Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRYP#NASDAQ">GRYP</a>) disclosed a definitive stock-for-stock merger deal with American Bitcoin, a majority-owned subsidiary of&nbsp;Hut 8, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45347101" rel="noreferrer noopener">for an undisclosed amount</a>.

American Bitcoin Spin-Off, AI Ambitions To Boost Hut 8 Stock: Analyst

Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) has surged 23% over the past week as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45047461/i-dont-think-ethereum-will-survive-more-than-10-to-15-years-cardano-founder-charles-hoskinson-says">co-founder Charles Hoskinson</a> is exploring the possibility of launching a privacy-enabled stablecoin that functions with the anonymity of physical cash.



What Happened: Speaking on the Conversations with Leaders podcast hosted by eToro on May 9, Hoskinson said current stablecoins lack privacy and are too easily traceable on public blockchains like Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), <a href="https://www.dlnews.com/articles/defi/cardano-founder-says-he-wants-to-create-a-privacy-stablecoin/?utm_source=telegram&amp;utm_medium=organic_social&amp;utm_campaign=">according</a> to DL News.



While stablecoins are a $243 billion market, their transactions remain fully visible, raising privacy concerns for users. 



Cardano currently supports stablecoins with a modest $31.5 million market cap, but Hoskinson hinted at making Cardano the first blockchain ecosystem to introduce a compliant yet privacy-preserving stablecoin.



Hoskinson argued that consumers might prefer not to have every purchase permanently recorded. 



He proposed selective disclosure as a possible solution, enabling privacy in daily transactions while still allowing necessary regulatory access for law enforcement and financial compliance. 



This concept, however, is not without precedent or controversy.

Other privacy-centric projects such as Monero, Zcash and Firo have previously attempted to balance user privacy with regulatory demands.



Strategies like whitelisted addresses and shielded transactions were designed to retain anonymity while permitting certain institutions to verify transactions. 



Why It Matters: Despite these efforts, major regulators and exchanges have remained cautious, leading to delistings and declining liquidity in these assets.



The pressure is mounting from regulators worldwide. 



The European Union plans to prohibit privacy coins on exchanges and custodial platforms by July 2027, a move that signals further regulatory tightening. In the United States, efforts to pass federal legislation on stablecoins have faced setbacks. 



Last week, the GENIUS Act, a key stablecoin bill, failed to pass the Senate after objections from lawmakers who cited risks to financial stability and consumer protection.



Hoskinson's idea comes at a time when regulatory environments are rapidly evolving, and projects are under increasing scrutiny for how they balance user rights with legal obligations.

According to Coinpedia Markets, SHIB <a href="https://x.com/MarketCoinpedia/status/1921884391242133573">outperformed</a> even high-flying tokens like TRUMP, despite major news events tied to the latter. SHIB is now trading above all major daily and weekly moving averages, with the RSI holding firm at 71, a sign of ongoing strength.



If Shiba Inu breaks resistance at $0.00002148, analysts forecast a move toward $0.00003575, which would mark a 122% rally from recent levels. The price action is also said to mirror the coin's September 2024 breakout setup, further supporting bullish expectations.



Statistics: On-chain growth from Shibarium, including rising accounts, transactions, and new integrations like Zypto, plus Bury 2.0 incentives, are boosting utility and long-term adoption. 



Shibarium, Shiba Inu's Layer-2 scaling solution, is showing strong growth across the board: accounts grew from 240,421 (March 1) to 268,877 (May 10), transactions increased from 931 million to 1.15 billion. 



New integrations such as Zypto and Bury 2.0 are helping drive long-term utility and ecosystem stickiness.



Shibburn data shows the burn rate increasing by 2,267.9% in the past 24 hours, with 13.69 million SHIB burned. A single transaction burned 13.69 million SHIB around seven hours ago.



IntoTheBlock data shows Shiba Inu large transaction volume down by 29.8% in a single day, while daily active addresses were up 0.95%. Transactions greater than $100,000 dropped from 161 to 115 in a single day.

Shiba Inu Jumps 27% In 7 Days: What Is Going On?

Wall Street analysts rerated Coinbase Global, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) on Friday after the company reported disappointing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45302422/coinbase-q1-earnings-highlights-revenue-eps-miss-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter results</a> on Thursday.



Rosenblatt analyst Chris Brendler maintained Coinbase Global with a Buy and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COIN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$260 price target</a>.



Needham analyst John Todaro reiterated Coinbase Global with a Buy and lowered the price target from $330 to $270.



Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45155666/robinhood-stock-falls-after-analysts-cite-weak-crypto-volumes-and-market-headwinds-in-q2-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">Robinhood Stock Falls After Analysts Cite Weak Crypto Volumes And Market Headwinds In Q2 Outlook</a>



Rosenblatt: Revenue of $2.03 billion missed consensus of $2.10 billion by ~3% but came in slightly higher than Brendler&#8217;s estimate. 



Despite multiple attempts to anticipate trading weakness, transaction revenue still missed the analyst&#8217;s below consensus estimate ($1.26 billion versus his $1.30 billion) as high-yielding Consumer volumes were in line, but take rates declined more than expected in both Consumer and Institutional. 



On a positive note, MTUs of 9.7 million exceeded expectations (consensus 9.2 million), showing strength in platform engagement even as spot trading volumes declined sequentially.



In Brendler&#8217;s recent initiation, expanding opportunities outside the core trading business represented a key component of his thesis, as these largely recurring revenue streams should boost the multiple. This quarter, the analyst saw trading weakness more than offset by strength in Subscription and Services Revenue as Stablecoins were even better than anticipated and Other beat due to growth in premium offerings (Prime). 



The biggest positive surprise versus Brendler&#8217;s estimates was in Blockchain revenue, as despite a 35+ % decline in token prices, staking revenue only fell 8.5% sequentially versus the analyst&#8217;s -20% estimate.



Coinbase Global&#8217;s acquisition of Deribit is expected to close by year-end and should be immediately accretive to adjusted EBITDA. The deal is perfectly timed as it cements Coinbase Global&#8217;s leadership in the high-growth derivatives market and turbocharges its international exchange. Even better, Deribit&#8217;s $1 trillion+ in trading volumes are all outside the U.S., and with domestic regulatory clarity coming soon, Brendler noted the synergies could be substantial. Combined with a lower-than-expected price tag of $2.9 billion, this is one of the most compelling acquisitions the analyst noted in a long time.



Brendler projected second-quarter revenue of $1.78 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.48.



Needham: Coinbase Global reported a narrow top-line Street miss but modestly beat analyst Todaro&#8217;s estimates. The take rate modestly declined in the crypto transaction segment for both retail and institutional customers. Positive call-outs in the quarter were around USDC and the recently announced Deribit acquisition, which is expected to close by year-end 2025.



The $2.9 billion deal consists of $700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase Global stock.



The analyst noted the offering, which will be primarily geared for international markets, allows Coinbase Global to become a major player in derivatives and internationally. Additionally, Coinbase Global&#8217;s international exchange launched 39 new perpetual contracts and expanded the asset collateral type to 8 assets from 3.



Coinbase Global&#8217;s volume mix has recently been more Bitcoin and Ethereum than alt-coins, suggesting a greater shift towards institutional volume than retail for the second quarter. This negatively affects revenues as Coinbase Global has a significantly higher take rate on retail than institutional.



Additionally, April and May volumes are trending notably lower than average monthly volumes for the first quarter.



The good news is crypto asset prices recently inflected with Bitcoin rising back over $100k and a strong performance among alt-coins.



Historically, crypto asset prices find a bottom before volumes do, which suggests that with prices already inflecting, volumes should start seeing a bottom in the next one to two months. Nonetheless, Todaro lowered his fiscal 2025 and 2026 estimates to reflect lower volume estimates than his prior forecast.



Todaro projected second-quarter revenue of $1.56 billion and EPS of 80 cents.



COIN Price Action: Coinbase stock is up 5.74% to $210.76 at publication on Monday.

Coinbase's Subscription Gains, Deribit Acquisition, Blockchain Revenue Strength Prompt Analyst Support

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45333766/ethereum-dogecoin-and-other-altcoins-may-erase-4-years-suffering-in-just-months-says-michael-van-de-poppe-amid-historic-bullish-divergence">Altcoins are surging</a> as Bitcoin dominance pulls back, suggesting a renewed flow of capital into Ethereum and the broader altcoin market. Celebrity interest is also heating up, adding fuel to the narrative.



What Happened: Six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen joined the crypto conversation with a <a href="https://x.com/ScottiePippen/status/1921317743774593468">post</a> on X, declaring "altcoin season is here." 



He highlighted his focus on Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) and Mog Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MOG</a>) and asked Crypto Twitter what else they&#8217;re bullish on.



Pippen's tweet came just as Bitcoin dominance slipped from 64% to 61.5%, marking a 0.8% decline in a single day. 



According to DamiDefi, this drop <a href="https://x.com/DamiDefi/status/1921928635637969101">reflects</a> a rotation of liquidity toward altcoins, especially Ethereum and altcoins.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$BTC</a> dominance goes crashing as liquidity flows into <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$ETH</a> and altcoins <a href="https://t.co/T3xt5bab41">pic.twitter.com/T3xt5bab41</a>&mdash; Dami-Defi (@DamiDefi) <a href="https://twitter.com/DamiDefi/status/1921928635637969101?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 12, 2025</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



Echoing this sentiment, analyst Michael van de Poppe <a href="https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1921920545811259552">pointed</a> to a bearish divergence on the Bitcoin dominance chart, calling it a sign of the altcoin bear market ending. 



Another trader, Niels, <a href="https://x.com/Web3Niels/status/1921913680553238959">sees</a> a BTC dominance drop below 63% pushed altcoins "massively outperforming." 



He pointed out that Ethereum is up 45%, Solana spiked 30%, while many others surged 80%-100%. He believes a macro risk-on environment is reinforcing the altcoin breakout, with momentum clearly shifting in their favor.

Why It Matters: As altcoins gain strength, traders are adjusting their strategies. 



Analyst Miles Deutscher said in his latest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NbIK4uCu6M">podcast</a> that the trend is clear: &#8220;Long strong alts on pullbacks until the trend has shifted, whilst they&#8217;re still above key high time frame levels.&#8221;



He pegs Bitcoin at $100,000 and Ethereum at $2,000 as crucial levels. 



As long as they remain above these thresholds, Deutscher stays bullish on the further upside. 



Still, he cautions against confusing short-term opportunities with long-term investments:



"I think it&#8217;s a big mistake right now to start loading into or buying or FOMOing into long-term spot just because the market&#8217;s moved," he cautioned, suggesting traders should "treat these shorter-term entries as trades" while maintaining separate strategies for long-term holdings.

Scottie Pippen Declares 'Altcoin Season' As Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Rally

Stanford University has identified three defining challenges shaping the future of cryptocurrencies: the absence of clear U.S. regulation, looming risks from quantum computing and growing international momentum around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45139806/centralized-vs-decentralized-finance-what-the-rise-of-cbdcs-means-for-your-money">central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)</a>.



What Happened: The Stanford Emerging Technology Review 2025, published by the university avoids speculation but presents a data-driven assessment of how unresolved infrastructure, policy, and energy concerns may influence crypto's trajectory.



The authors highlight that cryptocurrencies currently operate in a fragmented policy environment. 



&#8220;The lack of a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency affects many American users, consumers, and investors who are often confused about the basic workings of cryptocurrencies and their markets&#8221;. 



This uncertainty not only deters user confidence but may also &#8220;prevent entrepreneurs from implementing their ideas in the United States or inadvertently incentivize them to move offshore&#8221;



On the technological front, the report warns that existing public-key encryption used by crypto protocols is not future-proof. 



"Support for the transition to a quantum-resistant encryption environment should continue with urgency and focus," it states.



Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45336934/ethereum-explodes-25-higher-to-2-400-notches-largest-1-day-gain-in-4-years">Ethereum Explodes 25% Higher To $2,400, Notches Largest 1-Day Gain In 4 Years</a>



Once quantum computers become viable, they could compromise older cryptographic methods, exposing previously encrypted data. "Messages protected by pre-quantum cryptography will be vulnerable in a post-quantum world," the report adds.



In parallel, global adoption of state-backed digital currencies is accelerating. 



While the U.S. has been cautious, &#8220;more than ninety nations are researching, piloting, or deploying CBDCs.&#8221;



According to the review, this trend could "reduce global dependence on the US currency and on a financial infrastructure largely controlled today by the United States." 



The authors suggest that delayed action on a U.S. CBDC may undermine traditional financial levers such as economic sanctions.



The report also addresses crypto's environmental footprint. 



"Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining uses more energy than the Netherlands," it stated, adding that whereas Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), following its transition to proof-of-stake, now uses "less than a 10,000th of YouTube's annual consumption."



Whether more energy-efficient networks can surpass Bitcoin in market dominance remains uncertain.



What&#8217;s Next: Rather than forecasting outcomes, the Stanford Review stresses that these interlocking factors—regulatory frameworks, technological resilience, and geopolitical shifts—will ultimately determine the sustainability and relevance of cryptocurrencies in the years ahead.
