Coinbase is expanding its futures trading offerings with the introduction of 24/7 contracts for Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cardano (ADA), set to launch on June 13. This move aims to provide US traders with compliant access to altcoin derivatives, navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.

China has denied any talks between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping regarding tariffs, a development that has again cast more uncertainty amid the ongoing trade war between the two countries. The crypto market sharply dropped following this report, as the tariff war still lingers in the back of market participants.
Crypto Market Reacts As China Denies Talks Between Trump & Xi
The crypto market dropped as the Chinese embassy denied tariff talks between Donald Trump and China’s President, Xi Jinping. The embassy told the US to stop creating confusion, as market participants question where exactly both countries stand on the ongoing trade war.
The Bitcoin price and other altcoins had rebounded following Trump’s TIME Magazine interview in which he stated that he spoke with President Xi Jinping regarding tariffs. However, the market dropped following China’s denial of any talks between the two countries.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time China has contradicted statements made by Trump and the US. As CoinGape reported, the US President remarked that they were having active daily talks, which China quickly denied, stating that both countries had made no progress regarding the trade war.
Despite the crypto market surge, led by Bitcoin, which broke above $90,000, market participants are undoubtedly still bothered by the ongoing US-China trade war. At the moment, the US has imposed 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, while China has retaliated by imposing 125% tariffs on US goods.
Despite this setback for the crypto market, Bitcoin and other altcoins look likely to sustain their bullish momentum if the US Dollar continues to weaken, as investors view BTC and Gold as a safe haven.
Experts remain bullish on Bitcoin’s trajectory. Renowned financial author Robert Kiyosaki predicted that the BTC price can still reach between $180,000 and $200,000 this year. Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest also recently released a report, predicting a base case of at least $710,000 per BTC by 2030. The broader crypto market will also rally as BTC reaches these heights.
The Pi Foundation today announced the launch of Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million development initiative aimed at investing in startups and businesses that drive Pi adoption and utility.
The fund will be split between Pi tokens and US dollars, sourced from 10% of the PI supply allocated for foundation reserves.
Pi Network’s $100 Million Venture to Improve Utility
The initiative comes shortly after Pi Network’s Open Network launch, which enabled external connectivity. Pi Network Ventures will support early-stage to Series B companies that integrate Pi into products, services, or business processes. Investments will focus on sectors beyond crypto, including AI, fintech, ecommerce, embedded payments, and consumer applications.
Unlike typical blockchain venture funds, Pi Network Ventures plans to operate with Silicon Valley-style sourcing, selection, and vetting processes. Most investments will be made directly in Pi tokens rather than fiat, aligning incentives with Pi’s ecosystem growth.
The Pi Foundation emphasized that the fund’s goal is to accelerate real-world use cases of Pi and strengthen network effects among its tens of millions of KYC-verified users. The $100M is not guaranteed to be fully deployed and will be invested over time depending on the quality and number of applicants.
This marks a major development step as Pi seeks broader real-world integration and decentralized utility expansion.
Stellar (XLM) is showing renewed momentum, up 10% in the last 24 hours and over 25% in the past 30 days. Despite the rally, XLM has remained below the $0.30 mark since March 2, struggling to reclaim that key psychological level.
Recent technical signals—including a sharp rise in RSI, a positive CMF shift, and a potential golden cross—are drawing attention from traders. As bullish momentum builds, XLM now faces a critical test at the $0.279 resistance zone.
Stellar RSI Surges—Is XLM Gearing Up for a Breakout?
Such a move often reflects a shift in sentiment, with traders rotating back into the asset after a period of weakness. If this momentum continues, XLM could be setting up for a bullish breakout in the short term.
The RSI is a technical indicator used to measure the speed and change of price movements. It ranges from 0 to 100, with values below 30 generally considered oversold and values above 70 considered overbought.
Readings between 50 and 70 typically indicate growing bullish momentum. With RSI now at 62.21, XLM is gaining strength but still has room to run before hitting overbought conditions.
Stellar CMF Turns Positive, But Buying Pressure Remains Cautious
Stellar’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator currently sits at 0.04, rebounding from -0.32 just three days ago.
This return to positive territory signals a short-term shift toward buying pressure, though it has pulled back slightly from 0.08 earlier today.
While the bounce is encouraging, the CMF hasn’t broken above the key 0.10 level since April 28, suggesting that sustained capital inflows remain limited for now.
The CMF measures the volume-weighted flow of money into and out of an asset over a set period. It ranges between -1 and +1, with values above 0 indicating buying pressure and values below 0 signaling selling pressure.
A CMF reading above 0.10 typically confirms strong accumulation, while readings near zero reflect indecision or weak conviction.
With XLM’s CMF at 0.04, the market is showing early signs of accumulation, but not enough to confirm a strong bullish trend. For further upside, XLM would likely need to see CMF push consistently above 0.10.
XLM Eyes Breakout as Golden Cross Nears
Stellar price is currently trading in a narrow range between resistance at $0.279 and support at $0.267.
Its EMA lines are tightening, and a golden cross may be forming soon—a bullish signal that occurs when the short-term EMA crosses above the long-term one.
If XLM breaks above $0.279, it could rally toward $0.30, with further upside targets at $0.349 and $0.375. Should bullish momentum remain strong, a move to $0.443 is also possible.
However, if the breakout fails, XLM could fall back to $0.267 support. A breakdown below that level would expose the token to $0.25, followed by $0.239 and $0.230.
Beyond technicals, concerns about supply concentration remain in focus—data shows the top 10 XLM wallets hold nearly 80% of the circulating supply. Binance’s XLM balance has also grown from 180 million to 1 billion since late 2023, raising the risk of volatility if large holders sell.
Still, adoption is growing. Stellar’s tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market has surged 84% in 2025, with key players like Franklin Templeton and Circle helping drive over $500 million in on-chain value.
