The switchover migrates over $3B in TVL onto Chainlink's CCIP after April's Kelp bridge drain exposed legacy cross-chain risk — and follows Coinbase's $7B CCIP migration last year.
SUI, AVAX, NEAR, INJ, TIA, IMX and AXS have moved past the supply overhang that typically pressures early-stage tokens, while APT and JTO approach their final unlocks later this year.
XRP was the standout gainer in a sea of red, defending higher levels while bitcoin, ether and dogecoin slipped as much as 2% — the setup matters because buyers are coiling under resistance instead of…
Bitfinex analysts see a quick push to $82K-$84K on dealer hedging, then a stall: $479M/day in realized losses, a $635M ETF outflow, and an 80% drop in corporate buying argue against a new ATH.
The broad-based index sits at 2169.26 with 13 of 20 constituents green, but the leaders were narrow — only TAO and XRP cleared 1% on the day.

Excluding stablecoins, total RWA holders across major chains crossed 775K — a 34.4% year-to-date lift — with BNB Chain leading on percentage growth and Solana leading on absolute adds of 90K+ holders.
At a $30B annual pace, Strategy alone would absorb 2.3x Bitcoin's post-halving issuance — but the same machine that builds a price floor concentrates BTC's marginal bid inside one capital structure…
South Korea's largest exchange is the first major venue to cut NKN support — the June 15 trading halt and ~30-day withdrawal window frame how thinly the altcoin is held across the country's retail…
The pitch is a managed, always-on yield layer over crypto balances — but the product reads more like a closed-loop smart-contract staking suite than an open DeFi primitive, and the yield source is…
