$BTC
- Bitcoin rises above 100 thousand dollars (it reached a price of 103.6 thousand dollars mid-week and remains strong).
- Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have finally settled - 50 million dollars, and the case is closed. Bonus: The Chicago Mercantile Exchange launches XRP futures contracts on May 19.
- The "Pectra" update for Ethereum is available - higher staking limits, smoother wallets, and lower exchange rates.
- The U.S. stablecoin bill has been frozen in the Senate, so clear rules have been postponed again.
Bitcoin at 104 thousand and Ethereum at 3.3 thousand - breaking this barrier could ignite a new bullish wave. 🔥
