The stolen data can include usernames, passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive information. Banks are taking steps to secure affected accounts and advise customers to take precautions such as creating unique passwords, installing anti-virus software, and monitoring accounts closely.

Monero (XMR) has seen a significant price surge, reaching a four-year high of $347, a 52% increase. However, on-chain detective ZachXBT has linked the surge to suspicious Bitcoin transactions, suggesting that $330 million in Bitcoin was laundered and swapped for XMR. Despite this, crypto analyst Rekt Capital notes that Monero has repeated its 2021 cycle-high and could potentially surge above the $300 barrier if it holds its current range. The cryptocurrency has retraced around 25% from its high and is currently trading between $250-$260.

Solana's price has increased from the $142 support zone and is now consolidating, potentially climbing above the $155 resistance zone. It formed a base above $135 and gained pace, moving above $140 and $142 resistance levels, spiking toward $155 before pulling back to $145. The price is currently trading below $152 and the 100-hourly simple moving average, with a short-term contracting triangle forming on the hourly chart.

A new, invitation-only club called "Executive Branch" has opened in Washington, D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood, backed by Donald Trump Jr. and megadonor Omeed Malik, with membership costing over $500,000. The club allows top business executives to privately meet with Trump advisors and cabinet members. This development is part of a larger trend of corporate influence in the Trump administration, with donors delivering $239 million for Trump's inauguration and billionaire families donating a record-breaking $2.6 billion to federal campaigns in 2024. The administration has also dropped investigations and lawsuits against 89 corporations, many of whose leaders donated heavily to Trump's inaugural fund. Additionally, the USDA has withdrawn a Biden-era rule on salmonella in poultry, benefiting companies like Pilgrim's Pride, which donated $5 million to Trump's inaugural committee. Elon Musk has also benefited from the administration's policies, and his company is working on a multimillion-dollar communications project with the Federal Aviation Administration. The Trump family has invested in artificial intelligence company Dominari Holdings, with the company's stock leaping over 1,000% after the Trump sons joined its advisory board. In response to the administration's actions, House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Cory Booker have begun a live-streamed sit-in protest on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to call attention to the Republicans' budget bill, which would slash funding for programs like Medicaid, food assistance, and education.

An analyst at Standard Chartered predicts Bitcoin may reach $120,000 this quarter and $200,000 by year's end. Geoffrey Kendrick cites "safe-haven reallocation from gold to BTC" due to whale accumulation and large flows into BTC exchange-traded funds. In the past week, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw over $1.7 billion in inflows, with $912 million on a single day. Kendrick expects a strategic asset reallocation away from US assets to trigger a sharp upswing in Bitcoin, with gains continuing through the summer. Bitcoin has logged steady gains in the past month, recovering from lows below $75,000 to trade near $94,000.

Brazil has introduced the world's first XRP ETF, listed on the B3 stock exchange by asset manager Hashdex. The fund, called Hashdex Nasdaq XRP Fund de Indices, tracks XRP's price using the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index and invests at least 95% of its assets in XRP. The ETF has an annual management fee of 0.7% and a custodian fee of 0.1%. This is Hashdex's ninth cryptocurrency ETF on the B3 exchange, following similar products for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The launch puts pressure on the US to approve a spot XRP ETF, with several large asset managers having filed requests. Analysts estimate a 73% probability of US approval, which could increase pressure on American regulators to accept such investment options. Brazil's move marks a milestone in the adoption of cryptocurrencies into mainstream financial markets.

Arizona lawmakers have passed two bills related to cryptocurrency investing, which could make the state a leader in this area if signed into law by Governor Katie Hobbs. The bills, SB1025 and SB1373, establish Arizona's approach to state crypto holdings, with SB1025 focusing on Bitcoin and SB1373 creating infrastructure for managing various digital assets. The bills allow the state treasurer and retirement systems to invest up to 10% of public funds in virtual currencies, specifically Bitcoin, and create a fund to hold digital assets seized by the state. If approved, Arizona could be the first state to fully integrate crypto into its finances. However, the bills still need the governor's approval, which is uncertain due to previous budget negotiations and partisan tensions.

Memecoins, initially created as a joke, have evolved into a significant cultural phenomenon influencing politics, economics, and public sentiment. The first memecoin, Dogecoin (DOGE), was created in 2013 as a humorous response to Bitcoin. It gained popularity and inspired the creation of other memecoins, such as YeCoin and MaxCoin. DOGE's success led to its use in charitable initiatives and community-building, with a focus on kindness and unity. In 2021, DOGE became mainstream, with its market cap reaching over $80 billion. Other memecoins, like Shiba and Floki Inu, have also gained popularity and scaled into ecosystems with their own blockchains, decentralized exchanges, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). However, not all memecoins have grown in a positive direction, with some becoming "trash coins" focused on humor, irony, and virality rather than technical perfection. Memecoins have also been used in politics, with some being created to support or criticize politicians. For example, the "Let's Go Brandon" coin was created as a protest slogan against Joe Biden, while Donald Trump has his own personal token, TRUMP (MAGA). The use of memecoins in politics has raised concerns about their potential to be used for propaganda and financial manipulation. The rise of hate coins, such as Swasticoin, has also sparked controversy and criticism. These coins promote extremist ideologies and have been condemned by human rights groups. The ease of creating tokens on platforms like Solana has made it possible for anyone to launch a coin, regardless of its content or purpose. The future of memecoins is uncertain, with some potentially being used as a tool for shaping politics, culture, and public perception. Others may be used as a situational marketing tool or for promoting extremist ideologies. As the boundaries of what is permissible continue to expand, it is essential to consider the potential consequences of memecoins and their impact on society.

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $93,972, up 0.3% over the past 24 hours, after posting modest gains over the weekend. On-chain analyst BorisVest notes that BTC has entered a stagnation phase as short-term holders begin realizing profits, which could trigger a fresh wave of selling if not fully absorbed. The Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) has risen to 1.04, indicating that investors are selling at a profit, with BTC whales and institutional investors likely taking profits. Bitcoin faces significant resistance at $96,000, and breaking through this level with strong volume and momentum could turn it into a new support base and continue the rally. However, failure to break through could stall the rally and trigger a price pullback toward the $80,000 range.

Bitcoin has surpassed $95,000, driven by speculation about President Trump's upcoming policy speech and on-chain data showing significant withdrawals from exchanges. The cryptocurrency's price has increased by 0.8% in 24 hours and 8.9% week-over-week, mirroring gains in US equity markets. Investors are awaiting clarity on Trump's policies, including a potential US Bitcoin strategic reserve, which could trigger a move towards $100,000. However, renewed emphasis on tariffs or budget cuts could dampen market sentiment. Bitcoin's resilience has been bolstered by its perceived safe-haven status, with year-to-date gains of 5.6% contrasting with declines in traditional markets. On-chain data indicates significant Bitcoin movement off exchanges, suggesting investors are holding for the long term, which could lead to a price breakout. The technical picture shows Bitcoin testing the resistance zone around $95,000-$95,500, with a potential target of $100,000.

Leading cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin, saw a surge on Monday.

An analyst noted that for Ethereum to maintain a bullish bias, it needs to close above $1,950 on a daily basis.

On-chain data suggests that Bitcoin's recent rally has paused due to changes in certain indicators. The "Exchange Reserve" metric, which measures the total amount of BTC in centralized exchange wallets, plunged during the price rally, indicating investors withdrew tokens, potentially fueling the rally. However, the decline has ended, and the indicator is now moving sideways, which may be related to the pause in the asset's surge. Additionally, the Net Realized Profit and Loss (NRPL) and Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) metrics show that investors have been participating in profit-taking, with whale-sized entities making large moves. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is around $95,000, up 10% in the last week.
