Ethereum fails to break above $2,400 as on-chain, ETF and derivatives metrics weaken

Ethereum failed to clear resistance at $2,400, prompting warnings it could slide below $2,000. Cointelegraph reported that as prices corrected, network activity, staking flows and U.S.-linked selling indicators worsened at the same time. On-chain transactions, active addresses and fees fell, while Ethereum-based DEX volumes and total value locked declined. Unstaking queues surged, though staking entry demand remained. U.S. spot ETFs posted net outflows, and derivatives data pointed to selling dominance.

Bitcoin May outlook clouded by rate and war variables, risk of short-term range

Bitcoin weakened in late April, but May seasonality and continued inflows into U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs are raising the prospect of further gains. Data since 2013 show bitcoin rose in May in 7 of the past 13 years, with an average return of about 8 percent. Still, higher U.S. Treasury yields and geopolitical risks are weighing on risk assets, and analysts see a higher chance of range-bound trading without a liquidity catalyst.

OpenAI\'s 17.5 percent return guarantee fuels debate over sustainability

OpenAI is pursuing a structure that guarantees private equity investors a 17.5 percent annual return, widening debate over whether it is sustainable. Some market figures warn the fixed return resembles past crypto projects such as Terra’s Anchor Protocol, which promised 19 to 20 percent before collapsing. Critics also cite OpenAI’s expected 2026 loss despite strong revenue growth. Others argue OpenAI has real customers and API-based revenue, unlike Terra.
