Curve Finance (CRV) has proposed a solution to address bad debt within its lending system, Llamalend.

The pool is structured to gradually resolve the bad debt; as the price of CRV rises, distressed positions will be forcibly liquidated.

On-chain analyst Crypto Dan has warned that the more confident the market becomes amid Bitcoin's ongoing rally, the greater the risk of a sudden downturn. Posting on X, he noted that investor greed has risen significantly with the recent rebound. According to the analyst, market movers often build hope among participants before engineering a sharp reversal to catch them off guard, a pattern he described as almost always in play. He observed that the sustained rally has led many to believe the market has already bottomed out and that Bitcoin is on its way to a new all-time high. He cautioned that sentiment often just follows the prevailing trend—bullish during a rise and bearish during a fall—and suggested that a contrarian perspective might offer a clearer view of the market.

Digital asset management firm Grayscale has issued a warning about the trend of digital asset companies issuing preferred stock. The firm pointed out that these instruments, such as Strategy's STRC, are structured as a bet on Bitcoin's price direction. Grayscale noted that since Bitcoin itself does not generate interest, paying dividends ultimately requires an increase in Bitcoin's price. It emphasized that such preferred stocks are risky assets equivalent to a CCC rating, with an implied annual volatility of 50%. For comparison, Grayscale explained that a Bitcoin covered call strategy at the same price has an expected return of around 33% and would be more profitable if Bitcoin's price moves sideways or rises. The firm concluded that for investors seeking pure Bitcoin exposure in brokerage or retirement accounts, the prevailing view is that a spot Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) remains the best choice.

While ETH has formed short-term upward momentum by reclaiming the $2,300-$2,400 range, buying pressure has weakened near the key resistance level of $2,500, limiting further gains, U.Today reported. The outlet's analysis suggests the current market action is more indicative of a consolidation phase than a full trend reversal. A breakout above $2,466 on significant trading volume could pave the way for a retest of the $3,000 level. The short-term support zone is between $2,100 and $2,200, and a break below this level could lead to a drop to $2,000.

CME Bitcoin futures, which closed the previous trading day at $78,110, opened today at $78,690, creating a gap of approximately $580. The CME BTC futures gap refers to the space on a chart between the closing price on Friday and the opening price on Monday. This phenomenon occurs because the CME is closed on weekends, while the Bitcoin spot market operates around the clock. The larger the fluctuation in the spot price over the weekend, the wider the gap becomes. As a result, investors often watch to see if the futures price, which is driven by the spot price, will move to fill this gap.

Leveraged long positions are accumulating in the Bitcoin futures market as the price continues to move sideways around $77,500, BeInCrypto reported. According to data from Coinglass, the long/short position ratio in the Bitcoin futures market has recently exceeded 3-to-1, meaning long positions are more than three times larger than short positions. BeInCrypto analyzed that while this imbalance suggests a strong bullish bias among traders at the current price level, it also increases the risk of a long squeeze that could amplify losses during a sharp decline. The outlet added that such one-sided positioning could fuel a short-term trend reversal. Coinglass's liquidation map shows that since the beginning of April, $71 million in long liquidation orders have been stacked below the $77,300 mark. The report concluded that whether Bitcoin's spot price can hold the $77,000 support level may be a key indicator of future market movements.
