Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to start transitioning your wardrobe from winter into the current season. That doesn’t necessarily mean put away all sweaters and coats, because as we know spring can be very fickle. But there are a few tricks to making those winter-looks more spring friendly.
Transitional Coats: Last week I talked about transitional coats, and these are the perfect items to add into your wardrobe right now. Lightweight, but will still keep you warm on a cool night. Spring Sweaters: Layer with a transitional coat, or wear on its own, some of your winter sweaters are easy to wear into spring. I lived in these cashmere sweaters from Everlane all winter, and I know I’ll be pairing them with skirts and shorts for spring. Pumps instead of Boots: I’ve traded in my boots for pumps. Keeping my feet warm isn’t a priority anymore, so it’s time to break out my favorite heels and pair back to effortless denim. These pumps have been worth the investment – I wear them the most during spring.
Made in USA coins have delivered a mixed performance in the first week of May, with PENGU, SUI, and RENDER showing very different trajectories. PENGU surged by 107% over the past week, signaling a strong recovery after months of correction.
SUI also impressed, jumping 70% and positioning itself among the largest Made in USA coins. Meanwhile, RENDER struggled to gain traction, underperforming both the broader market and the leading AI coins.
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)
PENGU was once the leading meme coin on Solana, reaching a peak market cap of $2.9 billion on January 6.
However, after its explosive rise, the token entered a prolonged correction phase, with its market cap falling below the $1 billion mark by January 29.
Since then, PENGU has struggled to regain its previous momentum, reflecting broader cooling interest in meme coins during that period.
Despite the correction, recent price action suggests that sentiment around PENGU may be shifting again.
Over the past seven days, PENGU has surged by 107%, including a gain of more than 16% in just the last 24 hours. PENGU could soon test the $0.011 resistance level if this strong momentum continues.
A break above this point could open the path toward $0.0126, and if bullish pressure remains strong, further targets at $0.0171 and even $0.0223 could come into play — breaking above the $0.020 mark for the first time since January 27.
SUI
SUI has been one of the standout performers among altcoins over the past week, surging 70% and positioning itself just behind Cardano, Solana, and XRP in market cap among the major Made in USA coins.
With such a powerful move quickly, SUI is approaching critical technical levels that could determine whether the rally continues or faces a pullback.
Recently, SUI tested the resistance at $3.73 but failed to break through it. If it manages to test this level again and successfully break above it, the next target would be $4.25, which would also mark SUI’s first time trading above $4 since January 31.
However, if bullish momentum fades, SUI could retrace to test the $3.25 support zone.
Losing this support could lead to a deeper correction toward $2.92 or even $2.51, making the coming price action especially important for assessing whether SUI’s rally can extend further.
RENDER
RENDER has been lagging behind the broader market, posting only a 2% gain over the last seven days, far less than most other major Made in USA coins.
It has also underperformed relative to the top AI-focused tokens, such as TAO, FET, and VIRTUAL, which have shown much stronger momentum.
This lackluster performance suggests that while artificial intelligence narratives continue to gain traction, RENDER has struggled to capture the same level of enthusiasm, raising concerns about its near-term outlook compared to its peers.
Technically, RENDER’s EMA lines are signaling potential weakness, with the possibility of a death cross forming soon.
If the downtrend materializes, RENDER could first test support at $4.25; losing that level could open the door for deeper drops to $3.82, $3.55, and even $3.14.
However, if RENDER manages to regain positive momentum, a rebound toward $4.63 could still be in play.
Phishing scams in the crypto sector are becoming more advanced, with attackers stealing more than $5.2 million from unsuspecting users in April 2025.
According to data from blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer, the losses mark a 17% drop from March’s $6.37 million. However, the number of victims surged by 26%, with 7,565 individuals falling prey to fraudulent schemes last month.
Scam Sniffer reported that the most damaging incident in April involved a phishing signature scheme, which led to a $1.4 million loss.
In this case, the victim unknowingly approved several fraudulent requests, enabling the attacker to drain their wallet. These scams typically trick users into signing digital approvals that authorize token transfers without their knowledge.

Another notable case involved an address spoofing technique known as address poisoning. An unsuspecting user lost $700,000 after sending funds to a fake wallet address that closely resembled one they had interacted with previously.
Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security firm SlowMist, warned that attackers now target users through Telegram. They use AI-generated voice messages and personalized chats to deceive victims.
In one reported case, Xian noted that a compromised Telegram account was used to send voice clips that imitated a victim’s trusted contacts. The voice messages, likely produced with AI tools, were built from earlier voice logs to mimic tone and speech patterns.
“Don’t trust just one source. When it involves money, always establish another reliable source for verification,” Xian stated.
These developments mirror an earlier case in which an elderly US citizen lost 3,520 BTC, worth over $330 million, to a sophisticated social engineering scam.
CertiK, another blockchain security provider, reported that the Bitcoin theft contributed significantly to the industry’s total losses in April.
According to the firm, the emerging industry lost $364 million to hacks, scams, and exploits during the reporting period. Around $18.2 million of these stolen funds have since been recovered.
These developments underscore the growing sophistication of crypto scams. They also highlight the urgent need for improved user education, wallet security, and anti-phishing tools within the industry.
