Radiant Capital (RDNT) said on June 2, 2026 that it will shut down its DeFi lending protocol, after an October 2024 attack that drained $50,000,000. The project said the breach involved malware that led developers to sign "poisoned" transactions while Safe {Wallet} appeared to show legitimate details. On-chain tracking later indicated the stolen funds were converted into about 21,957 ETH, with selling activity beginning in August 2025.

CoinShares reported that institutional crypto products recorded $1.67 billion in net outflows over the past week, extending the streak to three consecutive weeks of withdrawals. Bitcoin accounted for $1.438 billion of the redemptions and Ethereum saw $257 million, while total assets under management slipped to $141 billion. Three-week cumulative outflows were listed at $4.21 billion, with US products contributing $1.63 billion of the latest week's exits.

On May 28, 2026, pseudonymous trader KillaXBT said Bitcoin needs to defend $75,000 to avoid a broader downturn, while a push toward the $80,000 area remains a key test. He also outlined a potential path that could revisit the $74,000 region if BTC fails to reclaim $80,000, and noted $54,000 as a realized-price level to watch. Bitcoin was quoted at $75,652 at publication time, down 1.2% on the day.

On May 20, 2026, Morgan Stanley chief cross-asset strategist Serena Tang said the bank is staying constructive on risk assets through the rest of 2026 despite rising geopolitical, energy-price and credit-market uncertainty. She pointed to expectations for resilient US growth and earnings, plus an AI-driven capex cycle, while reiterating an S&P 500 mid-2027 target of 8,300 and a preference for equities over core fixed income.

Institutional investors withdrew a combined $1.07 billion from Bitcoin and digital-asset investment products in one week, ending a seven-week run of inflows and marking the year's third-largest weekly outflow. Bitcoin led the declines with $982 million leaving, while Ethereum recorded $249 million in outflows, its biggest weekly redemption since January 30th. XRP and Solana bucked the trend, drawing $67.6 million and $55.1 million in inflows, respectively.

Crypto trader Cheds says Bitcoin could face a sharp pullback after rebounding back into the $70,000 zone, unless it can reclaim $85,000 as support. He argues a move through the mid-$80,000s would help validate a W/double-bottom setup, and he prefers seeing a weekly close above $85,000. At publication, BTC traded at $79,402, down 1.5% on the day.

PeckShield says the attacker behind the TrustedVolumes incident has begun laundering part of the approximately $6.7 million taken from the liquidity provider. The firm reports $278,000 has been laundered so far, including 10.2 ETH ($23,600) sent to TornadoCash and 110 ETH ($250,000) swapped via THORChain into BTC, after the May 7 exploit.

On April 7, 2026, Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone said stablecoins could drive a major 'flippening,' with Tether's AUM potentially surpassing Ethereum in 2026 and later Bitcoin. He also warned Bitcoin may revisit much lower levels, citing a possible move toward $10,000 by 2026 and arguing that broad risk-market weakness and higher volatility could pressure crypto prices.

An analyst who goes by Credible Crypto said Ethereum appears to be in the late stages of forming a bottom, pointing to a potential triple-bottom on the three-day chart. He suggested ETH could retest around $1,880 before climbing to $2,420 as soon as April 7, while also expecting ETH/BTC to post a 20%+ advance.
