@LTCFoundation Base Azul is more than a date on a calendar: Base says empty blocks dropped from ~200/day to ~2/day and the chain sustained multiple 5,000 TPS bursts. Do performance upgrades like this move markets immediately, or only once apps start taking advantage of them?

@krakenlistings @every_thing Great traction so far 👏 We’ve shared it across our community channels 👉 x.com/CoinMarketCal/…

Now live: $EV @every_thing lets you talk with Eva, a crypto agent built to assist traders and investors. The team is also introducing a new protocol combining all DeFi within a single oracle-free pool. Trade now → app.kraken.com/JDNW/EV

@every_thing Everything.inc says $EV opened trading after finalizing its pre-market round, with the project formerly known as SmarDex and now positioned around DeFi + AI. For holders, what matters more here: Kraken access, the rebrand, or whether EVA gets real usage?

$EV (@every_thing) just listed on a top-5 exchange 🔥 12 May 2026 Kraken Listing 👉 coinmarketcal.com/en/event/krake… BTSE and AscendEX also listed $EV on May 12th. Are you holding, buying, or taking some profit? Drop your take 👇 Find more upcoming opportunities: coinmarketcal.com

Schwab saying its clients already hold ~20% of spot crypto ETP assets is the key context here. Direct BTC/ETH trading probably does not replace ETFs for tax-advantaged or model-portfolio exposure, but it may serve users who want actual spot access inside a familiar brokerage account. Does this compete with ETFs, or does it open a separate investor use case?

Schwab Crypto™ accounts are now being rolled out to retail clients. Starting today, the first group of clients can trade Bitcoin and Ethereum at Schwab, right alongside their other investments. Sign up for updates and a chance to get early access: brnw.ch/21x2qsv

@jessepollak Batched settlement makes the economics cleaner for tiny, frequent payments. Do you think the first real product-market fit comes from data APIs, inference, search, or compute?

x402 now supports batched settlement this unlocks many many tiny tiny payments (<$0.0001) which is perfect for paying for just in time resources like compute and inference

@xelis_project XELIS V6 looks more technical than a generic “upgrade” label: - contract events for smart-contract tracking - DAG chain-selection changes - orphan-block handling - side-block reward updates. Which part would you watch most closely?

@xelis_project This event’s generating solid buzz 🗣️ We’ve pushed it live to our community 👉 x.com/CoinMarketCal/…

Hey everyone, We're planning a #XELIS network upgrade around the 30 May. This network upgrade will include bug fixes, optimizations, and new features: - Iterator added in the standard library of Silex: lazy & complex pipeline support! - Improved smart contracts features: a several new functions has been added to push the limits of our platform. - Contract Events: fully autonomous signal/event system. From a contract, you can be notified on a specific action without any off-chain requirement, everything happen on chain directly! - BlockDAG improved: k-cluster check has been included in the calculation of the cumulative difficulty of a block; increasing the security of the network. - Transaction Blob: want to communicate at a lower cost? We introduce a new transaction type called Blob, allowing up to 32 kB of data shared with up to 255 destinations without doing any transfer of value. Faster & more efficient for applications that want to communicate only. - Block reward change: no more side block reward! Side blocks now get the same reward as a regular block. - Difficulty adjustment: instead of being calculated against the block parents, it is now calculated over the last 50 ordered blocks inlined to make the difficulty change smoother. - Lot of bug fixes, optimizations and DAG improvements included The new release will be available next week. This gives a 2 weeks window at least to update to be fully ready. NOTE: The new release will require a new chain sync from genesis to compute some data that will be used by the DAG, but also to contains all the new optimizations.

@bitget @MEXC @okx @telcoin @xelis_project $XEL is the most technical catalyst in the top 3. The team flagged bug fixes, optimizations and new protocol features for the coming upgrade, while XELIS docs describe network upgrades as mandatory consensus changes. Are traders pricing execution risk or upgrade upside?

@RayDalio This debate is measurable. BTC/gold performance during stress periods, BTC/Nasdaq correlation, and reserve adoption tell different stories. Which metric best defines a ‘safe haven’?

While Bitcoin gets a lot of attention, it hasn’t played the safe-haven role many expected. In my view, there are a few reasons why. First, Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it. Second, it also has a high correlation with tech stocks. When investors get squeezed in other areas of their portfolio, they sell their Bitcoin to cover it. Third, it’s a relatively small and controllable market, whereas gold stands alone. There is only one gold. Ultimately, gold is more widely held, deeply established, and still plays a central role in the global system.

@DecryptMedia For token projects, the key question may be preparation. If a 60-day certification path becomes real, which categories move fastest: L1s, DeFi tokens, gaming, or RWAs?

@chainlink @LayerZero_Core @Conste11ation $LINK is the institutional-rails angle here: DTCC says its Collateral AppChain will use Chainlink CRE/data standards for eligibility, valuation, margining, optimization and settlement workflows, with go-live expected in Q4 2026. Is this the strongest long-term catalyst?
