Odaily Chainalysis posted on X platform, stating that prior to the THORChain theft, wallets suspected to be linked to the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several consecutive weeks. As early as late April, the attacker-associated wallets deposited funds into Hyperliquid positions via Hyperliquid and the Monero privacy bridge. These funds were subsequently converted to USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, then bridged to Ethereum. Some of the ETH was then moved to THORChain to stake as RUNE for a newly joined node, which is believed to be the source of the attack.Subsequently, the attacker bridged a portion of the RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four chains. One chain went directly to the attacker, passing through intermediate wallets before transferring 8 ETH to the wallet that would ultimately receive the stolen funds, just 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three chains flowed in reverse. Between May 14 and 15, these wallets bridged the ETH back to Arbitrum again, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero via the same privacy bridge, with the final transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack commenced. As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds remain untouched, but the attacker has demonstrated sophisticated cross-chain money laundering capabilities. The Hyperliquid to Monero path may be the next move.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai_9684xtpa), a “die-hard bullish trader” has been long 80,000 ETH since April 30 from two addresses, with an average entry price of approximately $2,265 per ETH, resulting in a position value of $186 million—without any reduction in exposure throughout this period. As BTC dropped below $80,000, this position re-entered negative territory, currently showing a floating loss of about $2.9 million; at the market peak on May 11, however, the position had achieved a floating profit exceeding $8 million.
According to on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN), one hour ago, 89,026 ETH (approximately $198 million) were withdrawn from Kraken and FalconX and transferred to four wallet addresses suspected to belong to Bitmine (BMNR), an Ethereum treasury company.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), a whale address (0xfda5...974d2) sold 7,557 ETH at $2,225 per ETH, receiving approximately 16.815 million USDC in return.
CryptoQuant analyst BorisD points out that Ethereum still faces obvious downside risks. The combination of rising exchange supply and continued ETF outflows could push prices down to around $1,700, representing a potential correction of about 20% from current levels. A breakout above $2,400 seems unlikely in the near term.Data shows that ETH reserves on exchanges like Binance have increased significantly recently, rising from approximately 3.36 million to 3.84 million between May 5 and May 9. This indicates more tokens are flowing into trading platforms, which is typically interpreted by the market as a signal of rising potential sell pressure. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs have seen net capital outflows for four consecutive trading days, totaling approximately $190 million, indicating weakening institutional demand at the margin.In terms of price, although ETH has rebounded about 40% from its local low, it encountered strong resistance near $2,400 before falling back to the $2,260 level, limiting short-term upward momentum. The CryptoQuant analyst notes that as exchange inflows accelerate, the price has failed to sustain its upward trend and instead retreated, suggesting the market may be in a phase where "absorption and distribution coexist."Technically, ETH has broken below the lower trendline of an ascending wedge structure (around $2,280). If this breakdown is confirmed, the pattern's measured move target points to around $1,725, corresponding to a potential decline of approximately 22% and coinciding with the macro low area from early February. Some analysts further believe that if the larger bear flag pattern continues, ETH could face the risk of dipping to $1,280.Overall, market sentiment is generally cautious, with a consensus that the current rebound is more likely a temporary move within a distribution process rather than a trend reversal signal. The risk of short-term volatility remains elevated. (Cointelegraph)

According to analyst [email protected] (@BTC__options), the options expiry data for May 15 is as follows: For BTC, 25,000 contracts expired, with a Put-Call Ratio of 0.59, a maximum pain point at $80,000, and a notional value of $2 billion. For ETH, 274,000 contracts expired, with a Put-Call Ratio of 0.4, a maximum pain point at $2,300, and a notional value of $620 million. This week, Bitcoin traded sideways near $80,000, exhibiting clear technical support; market attention remained low, with only 6% of BTC options expiring, versus 11% for ETH. BTC’s key-term implied volatility (IV) stood at approximately 35%, while ETH’s was around 50%. Skew has fluctuated minimally over the past month, reflecting neutral directional sentiment, and options activity remains extremely low—approximately 20% of open interest is expected to remain by end-May and roughly 30% by end-June. Overall, Bitcoin performed relatively well in both price and market热度 during Q2 2024, supported by favorable legal, regulatory, and macroeconomic developments. However, market热度 still falls short of expectations. Against this long-term bullish backdrop, Bitcoin remains the primary trading instrument, and positioning in medium-to-long-dated options is widely viewed as a reasonable strategy.

JPMorgan analysts indicate that despite the overall recovery of the crypto market following the Iran conflict, Ethereum and other altcoins continue to underperform Bitcoin. This trend, which has persisted since 2023, may be difficult to reverse in the short term unless there is a significant improvement in network activity, DeFi, and real-world applications.The report points out that, based on spot ETF flows and institutional futures positions, Bitcoin has shown stronger recovery momentum than Ethereum. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recovered approximately two-thirds of their previous outflows, while spot Ethereum ETFs have only recovered about one-third.Meanwhile, CME futures data shows that institutional investors have been more active in rebuilding their Bitcoin exposure, with Bitcoin futures positions nearly fully recovered. In contrast, Ethereum futures positions remain below previous levels. JPMorgan believes that without stronger on-chain fundamentals and real-world application support, ETH and altcoins are likely to continue underperforming relative to Bitcoin.
Odaily Odaily News Gate Research recently released its "April 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Review" report, indicating that the overall cryptocurrency market saw a volatile upward trend in April, with total market capitalization significantly higher than in March. BTC and ETH ETF trading volumes maintained high volatility overall. The report shows continued divergence in activity across major public chain ecosystems. Solana's daily transaction volume remained in the range of approximately 90 million to 110 million transactions, maintaining its leading position.Regarding trending sectors, the report notes that Pokemon TCG RWA has become one of the fastest-growing on-chain RWA sub-sectors, entering a second explosive growth phase in April. Major trading platforms saw monthly trading volumes exceed $220 million, with weekly revenue briefly approaching $6 million, setting new historical records. Meanwhile, Aave experienced its most severe liquidity crisis ever in April, with TVL outflows reaching tens of billions of dollars within a few days and net outflows exceeding $9 billion for the entire month.In terms of fundraising and security incidents, the Web3 industry completed 51 financing rounds in April, totaling approximately $834 million, with capital further concentrating on leading financial and infrastructure tracks. Among these, Payward ranked first for the month with a $200 million financing round. On the security front, Web3 security incidents in April resulted in losses of approximately $306 million, a month-over-month increase of about 858%, primarily driven by a single cross-chain infrastructure attack on Kelp DAO worth approximately $293 million. The report suggests that against the backdrop of a recovering market, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are both increasing simultaneously. However, the security risks associated with cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols remain worthy of continued attention.
