ADA, XRP, SOL Dive 21% to Reverse All Gains From Trump’s Strategic Reserve Plans

Published

on

Major tokens Cardano’s ADA, XRP, and Solana’s SOL plummeted 21% on Tuesday, just days after a dramatic surge fueled by President Donald Trump’s announcement of a U.S. crypto strategic reserve, erasing all gains sparked by the initial excitement.

The sharp reversal aligned with a cautious mood among traders after Monday’s market rally following the ambitious plan, as a CoinDesk analysis previously noted.

Trump’s Sunday declaration that the reserve would include ADA, XRP and SOL, alongside bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) ignited a market frenzy, with ADA soaring over 60%, XRP climbing 33%, and SOL jumping 22% within hours.

The promise of a government-backed crypto stockpile was hailed as a game-changer, with analysts predicting it could legitimize digital assets and drive institutional adoption.

However, the rally proved short-lived amid profit-taking and a general risk-off mood in broader equity markets.

“Trump’s latest tariff announcements on Canada, Mexico, and China caused a massive selloff of crypto assets, completely reversing the previous day’s crypto strategic reserve gains,” Kevin Guo, director of HashKey Research, said in a Telegram message.

“Despite a slew of pro-crypto deregulation initiatives and supportive policies, investors view cryptocurrencies as risk assets strongly bound by the performance of the US equity market.”

On Tuesday, China announced a 15% tariff on the import of various items after Trump, doubled the tariff on imports from China to 20%. The U.S. President also confirmed that 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada would be effective on Tuesday.

Bitcoin is down 9% in the past 24 hours amid the macroeconomic chaos, trading at $84,000 as of Asian afternoon hours. Ether lost 12% and trades just above $2,000 — its lowest since 2023.

With a White House Crypto Summit scheduled for Friday, investors are now bracing for more clarity — or further turbulence — depending on what emerges from the talks.

Crypto wallet infrastructure company Turnkey has raised $30 million in Series B funding led by Bain Capital Crypto, Fortune reported on Monday.

Turnkey, which was co-founded by former Coinbase employees Bryce Ferguson and Jack Kearney, aims to help developers build user-friendly wallets using application programming interfaces (APIs).

This can help wallets become more streamlined and easy to use, Ferguson said.

“We’re moving from this world of these slow, clunky systems that were designed for buying and holding crypto to very high throughput, machine-based transactions,” he said, according to Fortune’s report.

The company counts prediction market platform Polymarket, non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Magic Eden and Stripe-owned stablecoin firm Bridge among its clients.

The funding also included contributions from Lightsped Faction and Galaxy Ventures, who led Turnkey’s $15 million Series A in April 2024.

Turnkey will use its new capital to grows its headcount, which currently sits at 35 employees. Principally, Turnkey is looking to expand its engineering team, according to the report.

Sui’s Cetus DEX Is Back Online After $223M Exploit

Published

on

By

Sui-based decentralized exchange (DEX) Cetus Protocol is back online following a 17-day outage spurred by last month’s $223 million exploit.

The protocol recovered around $162 million worth of stolen funds and is continuing legal action against the attacker, who did not respond to the DEX’s requests to negotiate.

Sui stepped in to compensate Cetus for the initial losses, issuing a loan to reimburse impacted users on May 28. DefiLlama data shows that Cetus’ total value locked (TVL) was $284 million before the exploit and is now down to $124 million.

The attacker exploited a flaw in Cetus’ shared math library contract, tricking the protocol into believing that one token was worth millions of dollars.

Despite attempts to negotiate and come to a settlement, the attacker began laundering funds through coin-mixing service Tornado Cash.

Cetus has refilled the liquidity pools with between 85% to 99% of their initial liquidity, meaning that users can now trade on the platform without exceptional slippage.

The Cetus token (CETUS) has lost 44% of its value over the past month and is down around 1% over the past 24 hours, CoinMarketCap shows.
