Cryptocurrency investors: 10 million Brazilians, representing 5% of the total population.

In other words, there is significant growth potential.

Ethereum approaches US$ 3 million with recovery in May

Ethereum began a consistent recovery after falling to US$ 2.400 on May 17. The following day, the asset reached US$ 2.550, with a 3% increase in the last 24 hours and liquidation of US$ 22 million in short positions. The movement reignites expectations that ETH could reach the range of US$ 3.000 still in May.
Data from CoinGlass shows that, in one hour, more than US$ 7.5 million were eliminated from short positions. In total, the market recorded over US$ 158 million in liquidations during the period, with most related to long positions. The immediate resistance identified is near US$ 3.000, with sell orders accumulated at over US$ 384 million up to this range.
The technical formation known as a bull flag remains valid on the four-hour chart. The breakout of the upper trend line occurred on May 13, with a retest of support at US$ 2.470. If the price holds above this level, the projected technical target is US$ 3.720, representing a potential advance of 50%.
Analysts diverge on the scenario. While Titan of Crypto points out that the stochastic RSI at 79 suggests continuity of the positive trend, analyst Chimp of the North sees a possibility of a new retracement to US$ 2.400 before advancing towards US$ 3.300. Crypto Patel considers a sharper correction, with a possible drop to US$ 1.800 before a potential rise to US$ 5.000.
The positive outlook is also supported by fundamentals such as the growth of applications with artificial intelligence, inflows to crypto ETFs, and technical advancements in the Ethereum network, including the Pectra update.
However, the drop of the RSI from 60 to 42 indicates an increase in profit-taking. If the price closes below US$ 2.470, further declines may occur, with supports at US$ 2.400 and US$ 2.300.

Scammer poses as Coinbase support and steals US$ 2 million from retired artist

A retired artist in the United States lost US$ 2 million in cryptocurrencies after falling for a sophisticated phishing scam that simulated customer service from the Coinbase exchange.
Ed Suman, 67, had been accumulating his savings in crypto assets after retiring from the art sector, where he worked for nearly 20 years, including work with sculptures by Jeff Koons. He stored 17.5 Bitcoin and 225 Ether in a physical Trezor wallet, considered one of the safest forms of digital protection.
In March, Suman received a text message alerting him about a supposed unauthorized access to his account on Coinbase. The message was followed by a call from a man who introduced himself as a member of the company's security team. The scammer, demonstrating technical knowledge, instructed Suman to enter his seed phrase — a code that provides unrestricted access to the wallet — on a fake website that mimicked the Coinbase environment.
Nine days later, another contact, also posing as support from the exchange, repeated the same procedure. In the end, all of Suman's assets had been transferred to accounts controlled by the scammers.
The scam occurred after the revelation of a data breach at Coinbase. Internal investigations indicate that outsourced employees in India were bribed to leak confidential customer information, such as names, balances, and transaction histories. The company confirmed that 1% of active monthly users were affected.
Among the affected is Roelof Botha, partner at Sequoia Capital. Despite the exposure, his funds were not accessed.
Coinbase announced that it intends to compensate impacted users, with amounts between US$ 180 million and US$ 400 million. After the incident, those involved in the leak were terminated from the company.

Tether expands its stake in Juventus and strengthens its presence in European football

Tether, the company responsible for issuing the largest stablecoin on the market, USDT, has increased its shareholding in Juventus Football Club to over 10%. This move consolidates the company's position as one of the main shareholders of the Italian club and expands its voting rights to 6.18%.
The investment, made through its subsidiary Tether Investments SA de CV, marks a new phase in the company's strategy to diversify its assets and strengthen its presence in traditional sectors such as sports. Tether had already acquired 8.2% of Juventus in February of this year.
Juventus is one of the most traditional clubs in European football, with 36 titles in the Italian league since its founding in 1897. Tether views the partnership as more than just a financial maneuver. For CEO Paolo Ardoino, the agreement represents an opportunity to align technology, innovation, and fan engagement.
"We believe that Juventus is in a unique position to lead both on the field and in adopting technologies that can elevate fan engagement, digital experiences, and financial resilience," said Ardoino.
The company also indicated its willingness to participate in future capital increases, aiming to strengthen Juventus's financial base and avoid dilution of its stake in the club.
Tether's move in football is part of a broader investment diversification strategy. The company, which earned about US$7.524 billion in 2024, has also invested resources in sectors such as artificial intelligence, bitcoin mining, and even agriculture.
In the market, the announcement had a positive effect: Juventus shares rose 2.7%, trading at 3.2 euros (US$7.524 billion) by the close of this report.

On Wednesday morning (23), several Brazilian Telegram users reported the sudden removal of groups on the platform, without any prior warning or apparent justification. The information was initially released by Alexandre Santos, a member of online projects affected by the measure.
“Telegram takes down several groups for no apparent reason,” wrote Alexandre in a message published at 6:05 am. Minutes later, he confirmed that, to date, there has been no official communication from the company about the incident.
According to reports, entire communities focused on Brazilian projects, especially those of a collaborative, educational and technological nature, were suddenly deactivated. The lack of transparency and a direct contact channel with the platform has caused outrage among administrators and participants of these groups.
“Several Brazilian projects have lost their communities,” lamented Alexandre. He emphasizes that these virtual communities were essential for the development and maintenance of collective initiatives.
There is still no information about the reason for the removals, nor whether the measure is permanent or the result of a technical error. The editorial team tried to contact Telegram representatives, but so far has not received a response.

Panama City will start accepting Bitcoin and Ether for payment of taxes and public services

The capital of Panama will allow the use of cryptocurrencies as a method of payment for municipal taxes and fees. The announcement was made by the mayor of Panama City, Mayer Mizrachi, on Wednesday night (16), through a post on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
According to Mizrachi, citizens will be able to pay taxes, parking fines, permits, and other fees using bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and the stablecoins USDC and tether (USDT).
"Previous governments attempted to pass a bill to make this possible, but we found a simple way to do this without the need for new legislation," said the mayor.
The solution found was a partnership with a local banking institution that will process payments in cryptocurrencies, making immediate conversion to US dollars, as required by current legislation.
"This allows the free flow of cryptocurrencies throughout the economy and within the government," highlighted Mizrachi.
The measure marks a significant step in integrating cryptocurrencies into the city's public system and could serve as a model for other jurisdictions interested in adopting decentralized financial technologies.

LinkedNation prepares for launch with political support and an innovative proposal for the use of blockchain

A new project promises to bring a transformative approach to the use of blockchain in Latin America. It is LinkedNation, an initiative that, even before its official launch, is already generating interest from political leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and influential investors on the continent.
With a focus on education, community empowerment, and strategic connections, LinkedNation proposes to go beyond the speculative logic of many crypto projects. The platform has already received public support from figures such as Alex Redano, state deputy and president of the Legislative Assembly of Rondônia (ALE-RO).
Education as the foundation of the ecosystem
The platform will offer courses on blockchain, financial education, entrepreneurship, and business management, aiming to democratize knowledge and empower communities in different socioeconomic contexts.
Network with purpose and high-level networking
Even before its launch, the proposal already brings together a diverse community formed by political leaders, educators, developers, investors, and entrepreneurs. According to the creators, this collaborative ecosystem is expected to favor the creation of mentorships, strategic alliances, and institutional support for emerging projects.
Exclusive connections and segmented events
Another differentiator of LinkedNation is the organization of private and exclusive events, aimed only at selected guests. The initiatives are expected to gather decision-makers and influential names in the sector, in spaces designed for authentic connections and collaborations with high social and economic impact.
$NATION: token with a social function
At the center of the platform will be $NATION, a token created on the Solana network. The proposal goes beyond speculation: users will be able to use it to participate in governance decisions, access rewards through staking, and engage directly in social transformation actions.

This "soulful memecoin" is becoming a craze and could explode in DeFi

The Kharpa Unity Network recently announced the launch of Kharpa Coin, a cryptocurrency that combines cutting-edge technology with a rich cultural tradition, inspired by the ancient legend of the carp that transforms into a dragon.
The Legend of the Carp that Transforms into a Dragon
According to Chinese tradition, a carp that could swim against the current and jump over the waterfall known as the "Dragon Gate" would transform into a powerful dragon. This legend symbolizes perseverance and overcoming challenges to achieve transformation and success.
Kharpa Coin: A Memecoin with Real Utility
Unlike other memecoins in the market, Kharpa Coin stands out for being a utility token, offering a variety of services within the Kharpa Unity Network ecosystem. Among the planned functionalities are liquidity pools, blockchain-based raffles known as Hash Prize, poker platforms, games, and DeFi products. The central goal is to create an engaged community that actively participates in the network and benefits from the offerings of the platform.
Launch and Appreciation Strategy
Kharpa Coin will initially be launched in a private sale phase, with a price of $0.001 per token. After seven days or upon reaching a sales volume of $150,000, the token will move to the second round, with the price adjusted to $0.0015. This process will continue through four rounds of appreciation during the private sale, culminating in a "pink sale" at the price of $0.003. Subsequently, Kharpa Coin will be listed on PancakeSwap and other decentralized exchanges (DEX) at the launch price of $0.005, representing a 500% appreciation since the initial private sale phase.

Trump raises tariff against China to 125% and announces a 90-day truce for other countries

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on Wednesday (9) a new hardening of trade relations with China. In a post on social media, the Republican confirmed the increase of import tariffs on Chinese products to 125%, effective immediately. At the same time, he ordered a 90-day pause on the implementation of harsher tariffs for other countries that, according to him, "sought to negotiate."
The decision was justified by Trump as a response to the "disrespect of China for global markets." According to the statement, the measure aims to pressure Beijing to reassess its trade stance. "The days of exploiting the U.S. and other countries are no longer sustainable or acceptable," wrote the president on his social media platform Truth Social.
While China was isolated from the tariff truce, more than 75 countries benefited from the temporary reduction of tariffs to 10%. According to Trump, these countries sought representatives from the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and USTR (United States Trade Representative) with the aim of opening dialogue on trade barriers, currency manipulation, and other distortions in international trade.
The reaction in the markets was immediate. The dollar, which was flirting with R$ 6.00, fell 1.45% and retreated to R$ 5.90 at 2:44 PM (Brasilia time). The Ibovespa reacted positively and surged 3.8%, reaching the day's high. In the United States, the indices also reacted with optimism: the Dow Jones rose 6.59%, the S&P 500 advanced 7.17%, and the Nasdaq, 8.80%.
The U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, commented on the measure on social media, classifying Trump's post as "one of the most extraordinary of his presidency." According to him, the world would be "ready to work with Trump to fix global trade," while China, according to the secretary, "chose the opposite direction."

Binance will launch LDUSDT, second margin-earning asset for futures trading

Binance has announced that it will soon launch LDUSDT, its second margin-earning asset aimed at traders using the brokerage's futures platform. The new token follows the model of BFUSD, launched previously, and offers users the opportunity to earn returns while using the asset as margin in stablecoin operations.
Although it does not have an expanded name, LDUSDT represents another bet by Binance on products that combine liquidity, yield, and flexibility. Investors will be able to swap their Tether (USDT) for the new token within the Simple Earn Flexible product and use it directly as margin for trades on the futures platform.
“After the positive reception from users with the launch of our first margin-earning asset, BFUSD, we are pleased to introduce another product that enhances the utility of our users' assets,” said Jeff Li, Vice President of Product at Binance. “LDUSDT increases capital efficiency and allows users to earn yields while maintaining the freedom to reallocate their resources whenever they wish.”
Although it functions similarly to a stablecoin, LDUSDT is a cryptocurrency token exclusively for margin purposes, with embedded yield. According to the portal The Block, annualized yields were around 1.5% as of the morning of Wednesday (9), with real-time updates.
The launch reinforces Binance's commitment to expanding products that integrate investment strategies and active operations, primarily benefiting users trading in the futures market.

CriptoNoPix, the Brazilian platform conceived by Victor Lacôrte, has just announced another great novelty for its users: the integration with the Solana (SOL) network. From now on, it is possible to buy and sell tokens from the SOL network directly via Pix, with the same agility and simplicity that the platform already offers for other blockchains.
In addition to tokens already listed in the market, CriptoNoPix will also support tokens in pre-sale on the Solana network, significantly expanding opportunities for those looking to enter early into promising projects, with liquidity and ease in the acquisition process.
Victor Lacôrte, founder of CriptoNoPix, is known for his journey as an institutional miner of Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as being one of the most active names in popularizing cryptocurrencies in Brazil. With this new functionality, he reinforces the platform's commitment to democratizing access to crypto assets, integrating new networks and local payment solutions like Pix.
Solana is known for its transaction speed and low fees, characteristics that make it ideal for instant purchase experiences — exactly the type of innovation that CriptoNoPix seeks to deliver to the market.
For Web3 enthusiasts, investors in the pre-sale phase, and curious individuals in general, the news could not be better: more practicality, more options, and the same trust as always.

Despite the climate of uncertainty in the global economy caused by Donald Trump's new tariff package, Brazil surprised by recording a surplus of US$702,848,541,361.4 million (approximately R$702,848,541,368.2 million) in the cryptocurrency investment balance. The number contrasts with the capital flight trend recorded in other regions, according to the weekly report by the manager CoinShares.
In total, the listed crypto asset funds on exchanges recorded outflows of US$70,284,854,136.240 million in the last week. The biggest impact was in the United States, where investors withdrew US$70,284,854,136.210 million. Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland also followed this same negative direction.
On the other hand, besides Brazil, countries like Australia, Hong Kong, and Canada managed to escape the pessimism. The highlight was the Canadians, who also closed the week with a surplus of US$702,848,541,361.4 million – the best performance among the analyzed countries.
Even with the weekly retraction, the United States continues with a positive balance for the year: there are already US$702,848,541,361.5 billion in net inflows into crypto funds.
Bitcoin leads losses; XRP stands out
Among the assets, Bitcoin was the most affected, concentrating US$70,284,854,136.207 million in withdrawals. Ethereum (US$70,284,854,136.37 million), Solana (US$70,284,854,136.18 million), and Sui (US$70,284,854,136.47 million) also showed negative performances.
In contrast, XRP funds recorded a positive week, with inflows of US$70,284,854,136.45 million. Funds with diversified cryptocurrency baskets and those focused on Short Bitcoin strategies – which profit from the decline in BTC prices – also had a positive balance.
Among the managers, Grayscale Investment led the losses of the week, with outflows of US$70,284,854,136.95 million. Following that is the iShares ETF from BlackRock, which saw US$70,284,854,136.56 million leave its funds.
On the opposite side, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin captured US$70,284,854,136.10 million, followed by 21 Shares AG, which attracted US$70,284,854,136.67 million in new investments.

I have been regularly hosting AMAs on Binance Live with several Brazilian projects, and it has been an incredible experience getting to know so many innovative initiatives.

I’ve noticed that many RWA (Real World Assets) projects are being built on the @BNBCHAIN , which highlights a strong movement toward the tokenization of real-world assets on the blockchain. However, I believe that the BNB Chain could provide even more support to these projects, offering strategic assistance and increasing visibility for initiatives aiming to bring real-world assets into the blockchain ecosystem.

Tokenization is revolutionizing markets and creating new opportunities. It would be great to see BNB Chain placing even more focus on this segment.

Use of Cryptoassets Increases in Brazil, with 90% of Transactions Linked to Stablecoins

The president of the Central Bank of Brazil, Gabriel Galipolo, reported a significant increase in the use of cryptoassets in the country over the past two to three years. Approximately 90% of cryptocurrency transactions in Brazil are associated with stablecoins, which are pegged to real assets, such as the US dollar, and exhibit lower volatility compared to other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin. Galipolo emphasized that this trend is primarily driven by the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, which poses challenges for oversight and regulation, particularly regarding taxation and money laundering.
