#CryptoNewss Here’s the big stuff moving crypto right now (May 18 , 2025):
Bitcoin pops & charts flash bullish. $BTC is approaching a “golden cross” on daily charts after trapping short-sellers earlier this month. Traders are watching $68-70 k for a breakout.
JPMorgan flips pro-bitcoin. The bank’s strategists just told clients they expect $BTC to beat gold through year-end, calling it the “macro hedge of 2025.”
SEC kicks the ETF can (again). Decisions on BlackRock’s iShares spot-$ETH ETF and Grayscale’s mini-BTC fund were pushed back, likely bunching several rulings into late-2025 under new chair Paul Atkins.
ETF filings show big shuffles. 13-F data reveal institutions trimmed some spot-BTC ETF positions while adding to covered-call funds—hinting at growing yield-hungry strategies.
“Wrench attacks” worry execs. Physical robberies of high-profile crypto holders are rising; French police link several brutal incidents this spring.
Runes & XRPL grab attention. Bitcoin-based Runes tokens led weekly gains, and XRPL’s new liquid-staking token XRT jumped 150 % on launch.
