Grayscale CEO: "'BTC OG Insider Whale' ZEC Short Liquidation Price Is a Reasonable Near-Term Price Target"

On May 25, crypto VC firm IOSG Ventures issued a formal clarification in a post stating it is not linked to a wallet address referenced in a report from blockchain analytics firm Onchain Lens. Onchain Lens had labeled a wallet involved in UNI and COMP transactions as “IOSG Ventures?” in a tweet, a move IOSG notes was merely unsubstantiated speculation. The address in question is not owned, controlled, or affiliated with IOSG—it is solely a deposit address for Binance. IOSG emphasized that the activities and losses described in the tweet are unrelated to the firm, adding that it has reached out to the relevant parties to correct this misrepresentation. The address, which previously deposited 2.7 million UNI and 114,352 COMP into Binance, belongs to Eliah Trend Research.

May 25: Per Hyperinsight monitoring, the largest Bitcoin (BTC) position opened on Hyperliquid today was initiated by a whale wallet with the address prefix 0xebe. Early this morning, the whale opened a long position using 476.4 BTC at 5x leverage, bringing the position’s total value to roughly $36.9 million. Its average entry price is around $76,687, and current unrealized profit has reached $367,000, a 4.7% gain. The whale has already set a stop-loss price at $73,800. Analysts estimate that if BTC drops to this level, the position will be passively liquidated, resulting in an approximate $1.37 million loss—equivalent to an 18.8% loss on its principal. Wallet Address: 0xebe837cd345469cbc5d6e1fd3d15ee5079ac885f.

On May 25, crypto tracking service Whale Alert flagged a long-dormant pre-mined address holding 2,000 ETH (worth $4,234,171) that has woken up after 10.8 years of inactivity.

May 25 — Former U.S. President Donald Trump lavished praise on Micron at a rally in Suffern, New York, on May 22, telling the crowd, “Big company Micron, boy, Micron is great.” Unusual bullish trading activity tied to the chip giant followed shortly after, per market flow tracker Capital Flow. On the afternoon of May 22, multiple traders loaded up on Micron deep out-of-the-money (OTM) call options, with strike prices spanning $750 to $1,400. The contracts’ expiration dates focus on two windows: Jan. 15, 2027 (237 days from the trade date) and July 17, 2026 (55 days out). Between noon and midafternoon that day, at least nine large bullish options orders executed, seven of them clustered between 1:19 p.m. and 1:53 p.m. The most aggressive bet was a $1.4136 million premium call option with a $1,400 strike price, set to expire in January 2027. For this trade to turn a profit, Micron’s shares would need to surge nearly 90% from their current ~$745 level in less than eight months. This is

May 25 — In its latest research note, JPMorgan Chase said that while a 9,000-point S&P 500 by mid-2027 isn’t its core forecast, it’s a plausible scenario driven by an ongoing tech capital expenditure cycle, growing profit contributions from AI, and improving market risk appetite. The bank noted the market may be underestimating the likelihood of this upside path. At 9,000 points, the index would be roughly 20% higher than its current level. JPMorgan identified the Technology, Media, and Telecom (TMT) sectors as the primary catalysts for further gains, adding that whether AI spending continues to translate into real corporate revenue and profit growth will be make-or-break for the U.S. stock market’s next major upswing. But there’s a sharp divide of opinion on Wall Street. The majority of analysts expect U.S. stocks to enter a short-term consolidation phase after their sharp rally from March’s lows. Rising global bond yields, they warn, will dampen consumer spending and business inves
