Charles Schwab is targeting a mid-2027 launch to let financial advisors use its custody platform for spot crypto trading, transfers, and custody. The plan would extend its push beyond the retail Schwab Crypto rollout, which started with spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading and charges a 75 basis point fee per trade. Schwab reported $12.61 trillion in total client assets as of April 30, 2026, with Schwab Advisor Services representing about $5.31 trillion.

Strategy disclosed that it sold 32 BTC between May 26 and May 31 for about $2.5 million, its first reported Bitcoin sale since a December 2022 tax-loss transaction. The company said the proceeds are expected to help fund distributions tied to its preferred stock structure, while it reported holding 843,706 BTC as of May 31.

Weiss Crypto senior analyst Juan M. Villaverde said a near-term Bitcoin pullback could serve as the final confirmation that the market’s bearish phase has ended, rather than signaling a fresh breakdown. He outlined downside reference areas of $70,000, $65,000–$66,000, and $60,000 while noting he is not predicting a drop to $50K. At press time, BTC traded at $72,043.

Anchorage Digital says systematic Bitcoin covered-call writing can create synthetic yield, but warns the same trade may materially cap returns when BTC enters fast bull-market runs. In simulations spanning October 2021 to April 2026, the firm analyzed more than 37,000 backtests and found performance improved when calls were sold only under specific trend and implied-volatility conditions.

Arca CIO Jeff Dorman said Strategy's Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet has moved into a riskier phase as preferred equity obligations and cash decisions collide with its BTC exposure. On May 28, he argued the firm's roughly $15 billion in preferreds and about $1.5 billion in annual dividends could create pressure to sell Bitcoin if markets weaken, even after a $2 billion cash raise. BTC was trading at $73,408 at press time.

XRP's weekly chart is signaling a potential bearish continuation after price failed to regain the $1.60 area. Veteran chartist Aksel Kibar says a breakdown from the current triangle-like consolidation could extend losses toward $0.75. At press time, XRP was trading at $1.29.

Worldcoin (WLD) briefly pushed above $0.408 to an 11-week high as network activity surged, then quickly reversed to around $0.31. Whale transactions hit 64 in 24 hours, daily active addresses climbed to 1,309, and network growth reached 379 new wallets over the same window, before WLD fell back toward $0.308 after a double-digit 24-hour drop.

Santiment Intelligence says XRP's 30-day MVRV has slid to its lowest point since December 2020, leaving many recent buyers facing steep short-term losses. The firm labeled the setup an "extreme undervalued zone," with the 30-day MVRV near -47% and the 365-day MVRV around -36%. XRP was trading at $1.33 at press time.

In a May 24 interview with Scott Melker, Ran Neuner said Bitcoin is trading in what he called a "very scary" setup that resembles the pre-capitulation structure seen in 2022. He argued that if the current bear-flag pattern breaks down and Strategy's funding via STRC weakens, BTC could move into the $40K–$50K range; Bitcoin was $77,033 at press time.
