Moody’s cuts U.S. credit rating to AA+ — should markets worry?
After markets closed on May 16, Moody’s became the third major agency to downgrade the U.S. long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+.
Traditional markets dipped ~1% in after-hours — a reflex rooted in 2011.
Back then, S&P’s first-ever downgrade triggered a panic selloff, with equities dropping up to 20% in the following months.
Why? Many contracts required AAA collateral — and Treasuries no longer qualified.
But things have changed.
Veteran analyst Jim Bianco explains:
In 2011, the fear was real — many derivatives, credit agreements, and mandates prohibited anything below AAA.
After that chaos, contracts were rewritten to refer simply to ‘U.S. government securities’ — not their rating.
When Fitch downgraded in 2023, markets barely flinched.
Moody’s move now makes the AA+ consensus unanimous — but it changes nothing mechanically.
No forced action, no shock to markets.
It’s symbolic — not structural.

– BEARISH RETEST IN PLAY! WATCH THE BREAKDOWN
Ethereum is tapping back into a key resistance block after a bearish drop — and bulls are struggling to reclaim ground. The current rejection zone between $2,585–$2,590 is proving tough, hinting at a potential short opportunity!
Trade Setup
• Entry: $2,582
• Stop Loss: $2,598
• Take Profit: $2,559
We’re seeing consistent lower highs and wicks showing seller strength. If price fails to break back above this key supply zone, downside continuation toward $2,559 is likely.
Pro Tip: A clean 15min candle close below $2,575 will add confirmation. Don’t rush — let the market come to you.

Price Action:
The price has formed a higher high, indicating bullish momentum.
The chart shows Fibonacci retracement levels, suggesting the recent bullish rally has reached a critical resistance level (around 1.3602).
RSI Divergence:
The RSI has formed a lower high despite the price moving higher.
This is a classic bearish divergence, often signaling weakening momentum and a potential trend reversal.
Fibonacci Levels:
The price has retraced significantly from the low at 0.5718 to the current high.
The key Fibonacci levels (0.618 and 0.5) have acted as support during the rally.
The price is currently near the 0.236 (1.1086) level, which may act as resistance.
Trend Channel:
The price has broken out of the downtrend channel, which initially signaled bullishness.
However, the divergence with the RSI suggests caution, as the upward momentum may be losing steam.
Conclusion:
The combination of bearish divergence and resistance at the Fibonacci level suggests that a correction or pullback could be imminent.
Watch for a potential break below the previous support levels or confirmation with increased selling volume before considering a bearish move.
If the price manages to sustain above the resistance, it could indicate bullish continuation despite the divergence.

I try to sum up crypto in 2025 to people with a song lyric
Outkast - Hey Ya
"Y'all don't wanna hear me, you just wanna dance"
I can't stress it enough, people just want to dance
"Dance" in crypto = speculate and gamble
People want to show up to a party to party, might as well let them have a banging party
People know if they drink a lot at a party they'll wake up hungover the next day, and they still show up to party
We don't need to lecture them on why they should party or not, just let them have fun for the reasons they came here for and make the party the best experience ever
I think that's why Ethereum is in the state that it's in
They kept trying to lecture the party-goers that just wanted to dance, on why and why not they should be partying and what they should be listening to at the party
Too much to the point it ruined the Ethereum party
I love Ripple for this reason, it's the Uber driver's favorite token
Ripple is still a top 5 coin in 2025 and with all the “fair distributions PoW coins” not one of them being in top 10 should tell you as to how much people like being lectured about “team holding most of the supply” or “team is making money dumping the token” or any of these narratives, they are meaningless outside of the CT bubble
Ripple holders truly just wanna speculate and gamble and can care less about anyone lecturing them on the FUD
"Y'all don't wanna hear me, you just wanna dance"

Tron Reclaims the Throne: TRC20 USDT Surpasses Ethereum for the First Time in Half a Year
Big news in the stablecoin world—Justin Sun’s Tron network has officially overtaken Ethereum in total USDT issuance, reclaiming the top spot it lost half a year ago.
As of now, the total USDT in circulation exceeds $151.2 billion, making it larger than the GDP of over 130 countries—ranking it roughly as the 60th largest economy globally.
TRC20-USDT now leads with $75.7B issued, narrowly surpassing Ethereum’s ERC20-USDT at $74.5B. Together, the two chains dominate with over 99.36% of all USDT supply.
A Strategic Move That Paid Off
In April 2019, Tether launched TRC20-USDT—then a minor player behind Omni and ERC20.
Now, in May 2025, it’s a different story: TRON accounts for half of all USDT in existence.
Over the past week alone, TRC20-USDT smart contracts were called over 16 million times.
These interactions burned 49.36 million TRX (~$13M)—making up 96.87% of all burns on TRON, generating significant passive income for the ecosystem.
What’s Next for Sun’s Stablecoin Empire?
After integrating major stablecoins like USDT, USDC, TUSD, USDD, and USDJ, Tron’s ecosystem now connects to USD1, the new stablecoin launched by WLFI, where Justin Sun plays a key advisory role.
Whether USD1 becomes a major player—or just another token in the stablecoin war—remains to be seen. But with Sun Ge’s influence, TRON’s liquidity dominance, and the upcoming Trump-era regulatory climate, this could be a pivotal moment.
USDT is to TRON what the dollar is to global trade—and today, Tron just became the world's most-used blockchain for it.
