Japan's second-largest telecom bought 14.9% of Coincheck, the exchange that lost $530 million in 2018 and rebuilt from scratch. The deal closes in June.
The Ethereum Foundation lost five senior contributors in May alone. Vitalik Buterin responded with a 2,000-word post saying the Foundation will get smaller, sell less ETH, and stop pretending to be the center of Ethereum. He also said nearly 90% of his net worth is still in ETH.
The Foundation deployed 22,517 ETH across 11 deposits on Monday, its largest single staking move yet. After years of criticism for selling ETH to fund operations, the EF is betting on staking yield instead. The timing, with ETH below $2,100, makes the move harder to ignore.

Rug pulls cost crypto investors an estimated $6 billion in 2025 alone. The number of incidents dropped, but the damage per scam got worse. Over 62% of meme coins launched last year were flagged as potential rugs within 30 days. This guide explains how rug pulls work, what the warning signs look like, and which free tools can help you verify before you buy.

A token's price is just one number. Its tokenomics is the entire structure deciding what that number can do, who benefits from each move, and who is positioned to dump the second they can. Reading tokenomics is the difference between investing in a project and being exit liquidity for one.
