A new report from CoinGecko indicates that 2025 is already the worst year for crypto project collapses: in the first quarter alone, 1.8 million tokens failed, representing 49.7% of all declines recorded between 2021 and 2025.

The analysis focused on objective data, without assigning direct blame. Nevertheless, it raises the hypothesis that market volatility during Trump's presidency may have contributed to the high failure rate.

Why are so many tokens disappearing?

The crypto industry is accustomed to cycles of rise and fall. A striking example is NFTs, which were once a trend but now have more than 95% of those assets dead.

The digitalization of financial services has established itself as an unavoidable reality, redefining processes, business models, and the relationship between institutions and consumers. However, this advancement has also brought new challenges: with greater interconnectivity and dependence on digital systems, the surface exposure to cyber threats has significantly increased, making cybersecurity a strategic priority.

The current scenario is marked by the accelerated growth of virtual attack attempts. According to data from Check Point Research, Brazil recorded 356 billion attack attempts in 2024 – a 95% increase in the third quarter compared to the same period the previous year. The weekly average of attacks per organization reached 2,766, the highest rate since the beginning of the historical series in 2021. Latin America also stood out negatively, with a 53% increase in threats.

Since 2024, it is evident that the number of companies that are, in some way, adopting cryptocurrencies is growing. There are companies eyeing tokenization, others in more modern payment formats, and many looking for a way to better fuel their cash flow.

MicroStrategy was the publicly traded company that decided to kickstart the purchase of Bitcoin. This wave encouraged other institutions to follow the same path. Some will call it a trend. But, honestly, I can't see BTC accumulation going out of style in the future.

A recent report from Reown revealed that the crypto market is maturing, with users expanding their engagement beyond trading activities. Many believe that payments and artificial intelligence (AI) will be key to driving the mass adoption of on-chain technology.

Despite the optimism about the future of cryptocurrencies, challenges such as high fees, security, and lack of interoperability between platforms still persist.

The future of crypto adoption

On Wednesday, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded their first net outflow since April 16, interrupting a streak of eight consecutive days of inflows.

The outflow marked a reversal after funds collectively attracted over $2 billion in net inflows during the previous eight trading sessions.

ETFs outflow amid sideways price action

Yesterday, the total net outflow from Bitcoin spot ETFs was $56.23 million. This sudden change in fund flow suggests a possible cooling in institutional demand after a sustained period of accumulation.

Pi Network (PI) enters May with mixed technical signals. Momentum indicators point to a strong bearish trend, while money flow suggests potential accumulation. The ADX rose above 50, signaling a powerful bearish trend.

At the same time, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has turned positive for the first time in weeks, suggesting early signs of renewed buying interest. However, with short-term EMAs still below long-term ones, PI must hold key support at $0.547 to avoid deeper losses.

The Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) is evaluating the launch of a utility token and a native digital wallet.

This includes advertising and the introduction of a subscription package that will feature premium content. The company is also working to secure new programs, including family entertainment, documentaries, and unbiased news broadcasts.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has recently shown signs of recovery after a period of consolidation. In recent weeks, BTC's price action has started to rise, suggesting the possibility of a rally that could drive the cryptocurrency towards the much-anticipated $100,000 mark.

This movement has generated new optimism among investors, as a significant price increase could bring considerable profits to those holding Bitcoin.

Bitcoin investors are eager for profits

According to various reports on social media, supposedly originating after the publication on Bloomberg, Circle rejected Ripple's large purchase offer. The issuer of the second largest stablecoin on the planet recently filed for an IPO but paused plans after the chaos of Trump's tariffs.

Partnership enables the sending of works inspired by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN to the lunar surface. The initiative aims to demonstrate how creativity, when integrated with blockchain and space technologies, can expand the boundaries of art and deepen its social impact.

The selected works will be stored in a permanent archive on the lunar surface, using Nanofiche technology designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space. They will be part of the Astrobotic Griffin-1 mission, linked to NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, with a launch expected to occur from Cape Canaveral, Florida, after November 2025.

Grab a coffee to see what experts think about Ripple's price, given the growing chances of approval for the XRP ETF (exchange-traded funds) in the U.S. These financial instruments provide investors with indirect exposure to crypto and progressively attract institutional players to the digital assets space.

Paul Atkins at the SEC renews optimism and expectations for altcoin ETFs

The crypto market remains euphoric with Paul Atkins' rise to the position of chairman of the U.S. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).

These coins showed negative performance in the first 100 days of Donald Trump's new term, with the five leading cryptocurrencies linked to the United States accumulating declines greater than 20% since January 20. The outcome occurs despite the more favorable rhetoric towards the sector from the new administration and recent signs of regulatory easing.

In contrast, non-American coins like Bitcoin and TRON have shown greater resilience. Even so, assets like Ethereum and Dogecoin have accumulated significant losses. The divergence highlights the impact of broader political pressures, such as tariffs, which may be offsetting domestic crypto reforms.

Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, warned about the growing threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin (BTC), emphasizing that the risk may be more significant than many imagine.

Thorn highlighted that while a quantum attack would affect all forms of public key cryptography and, by extension, all cryptocurrencies, potential solutions to protect Bitcoin are still not the best.

How is quantum computing a threat to Bitcoin?

To contextualize, quantum computing threatens Bitcoin by having the potential to break its cryptographic security. This includes elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and hash functions like SHA-256. Quantum computers could derive private keys from public ones, allowing unauthorized access.
