World Cup fever: Chiliz expands to Solana and Base to supercharge fan token trading

Sports-focused blockchain Chiliz is expanding its roster of over 70 fan tokens to Solana and Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Coinbase (COIN).　　Chiliz rolled out its own layer-1 network in 2023 to host the trading of its tokens, but is transitioning to what it calls “omnichain distribution,” according to an announcement on X on Tuesday.　　“By using an Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard, fan tokens will exist on each supported chain with a unified supply, eliminating the need for wrapped tokens or fragmented liquidity pools,” Chiliz said.　　Fan tokens are digital assets that represent membership of a community such as a sports team‘s fan base. Chiliz has developed over 70 such tokens, including tokens for some of Europe’s soccer giants like Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Manchester City and Juventus. These teams use tokens to farm engagement from fans who are not in the stadium, by giving holders the chance to win exclusive rewards and voting rights on minor issues such as the colour of the players warm-up kit.　　Chiliz said it hopes that expansion to Solana and Base will give these tokens a major trading volume boost ahead of this summers FIFA World Cup. Chiliz already offers tokens representing the Argentina and Portugal

UNI Technical Analysis Apr 28

UNI is positioned in the neutral zone with RSI 45.66, while MACD gives a bullish momentum signal with positive histogram; however, short-term downtrend dominates below EMA20 ($3.28) and volume confirmation remains weak.　　Trend Status and Momentum Analysis　　UNI is currently trading at $3.23 and recorded a slight 1.29% increase over the last 24 hours, staying within the $3.19-$3.26 daily range. The overall trend direction is considered downtrend, as the price is trading below EMA20 ($3.28) and the Supertrend indicator is giving a bearish signal, pointing to $3.68 resistance. From a momentum perspective, the MACDs positive histogram stands out; this indicates underlying bullish pressure is forming, but the dominant bearish configuration of short-term EMAs limits trend strength. Volume is at a moderate $41.77M but does not strongly confirm the price action – signaling that momentum has not yet fully consolidated. In multi-timeframe (MTF) confluence, 6 strong levels were identified across 1D, 3D, and 1W timeframes: 3 supports and 3 resistances prominent on 1D. This structure shows the price struggling to hold around the $3.1882 support but facing difficulty breaking $3.2942 resistance. Although momentum oscillators give mixed signals, the overall picture shows weak downtrend dominance; for a bullish reversal, MACD histogram expansion and bullish

XRP ETFs Hit Strongest Inflows Since Dec 2025, Near $1.1B Milestone

XRP ETFs Extend Green Streak as Institutional Demand Builds Toward $1.1B Milestone　　XRP spot ETFs are gaining steady momentum again, with the latest weekly figures showing investor demand not just returning, but holding firm at elevated levels.　　Market analyst X Finance Bull that XRP spot ETFs have logged another green week, continuing a steady trend closely tracked by institutional investors.　　Last week saw $15.74M in net inflows, pushing total net assets to about $1.10B, modest on paper, but the real signal is the consistency of inflows holding firm week after week.　　Zooming out, the picture looks even clearer. April has already pulled in $81.63 million in net inflows, marking a strong rebound from Marchs $31.16 million outflow.　　This reversal makes April the most robust month for XRP ETF inflows since December 2025, signaling a notable shift in momentum.　　While this doesnt guarantee immediate price action for XRP, it points to something more structural taking shape. The steady accumulation suggests growing demand for regulated exposure, with investors increasingly favoring ETF structures over direct spot holdings.　　In other words, capital is still coming into XRP, but its doing so through more compliant, packaged channels rather than outright market buying.　　XRP ETFs Cross $1.08B as Steady Inflows Signal Quiet but Persistent

Silver Eyes Lower Prices as Daily Chart Confirms Bearish Setup

Silver (XAG/USD) price slipped to $73.42 on April 28, down 2.78%, as a descending triangle on the daily chart points toward a $68 downside target.　　The setup follows a sharp rejection from the all-time high of $121.67 set on January 29. Falling volume and weakening momentum now reinforce the bearish bias across multiple timeframes.　　Daily Chart Frames Silver Price Inside Descending Triangle　　The daily chart shows silver locked inside a descending triangle that began forming after the January 29 peak. Price now sits near the upper boundary, suggesting another rejection toward the lower band.　　Mapping the Fibonacci grid from the $121.67 high to the $54.49 low frames the trade clearly. Silver trades around $73.22, sitting between the 0.5 retracement at $78.93 and the 0.618 level at $68.85.　　If the price closes below the upper band, the next bearish target sits at $68. That level aligns with the 0.618 retracement. A larger risk extends to $54.49 at the 0.786 level, which coincides with the triangles lower band.　　Resistance sits at $89, capping rebounds at the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement. A close above that level would invalidate the bearish thesis. Such a move would reopen the path toward the $100 target watched earlier this year.　　Volume tells a similar story

Iran conflict worsens Somalias malnutrition crisis, raises food costs

Bitcoin Ethereum News　　The Iran conflict is exacerbating Somalias malnutrition crisis by delaying shipping and raising food costs. Crude oil reaching an all-time high by April 30 is at 0.5% YES, down from 1% yesterday.　　Market reaction　　The odds for oil prices reaching record highs have dropped by half, from 1% to 0.5% YES, with just two days until resolution. The April 30 market recently saw a 49-point spike attributed to a large order, but the market quickly corrected. Daily trading volume is $1,020 in USDC, and the cost to move the price by 5 percentage points is just $322, which makes the market easy to push around with a single trade. That 49-point spike was almost certainly one large order rather than any shift in trader expectations.　　Why it matters　　Shipping disruptions from the Iran conflict are raising food costs in Somalia and straining supply chains that move oil through contested waters. But traders are pricing almost no chance of crude hitting an all-time high before April 30. Buying YES at 0.5¢ would pay 200x, though the 0.5% probability reflects broad skepticism that shipping disruptions will translate into a record oil price within two days.　　What to watch　　Any announcements from OPEC+ or unexpected disruptions in

Their prices can increase quickly, but they often fall just as fast, frequently wiping out most of the invested capital. These assets are driven more by market momentum than by their underlying fundamentals, casting doubt on the long-term sustainability of many projects.　　The crypto market has seen a wave of speculative tokens, including the trump crypto coin, especially when political narratives or trending topics take over online conversations. These tokens really tend to gain attention quickly by tapping into current events or well-known figures.　　But once the initial excitement fades, the same issues really resurface: thin liquidity, minimal real-world use and a structure that struggles to support long-term value. Thats why many of them eventually lose more than 90% of their peak price.　　The Brutal Reality of Token Survival Rates　　Its hard not to become enthralled when your favorite token gains

Block Reveal $2.2B in Bitcoin, Launches Public Verification System

The move follows a wider industry shift toward transparency after the collapse of FTX in 2022, which pushed exchanges like Binance, Kraken, and OKX to adopt similar systems.　　Proof-of-Reserves Still Has Limits　　While proof-of-reserves improves visibility, Block made it clear that the system is only a snapshot in time.　　It confirms asset ownership but does not show liabilities, loans, or internal financial obligations. In simple terms, a company can prove it holds Bitcoin, but that alone does not guarantee overall financial health.　　For users, the tool offers more confidence that funds exist. But for investors, a complete picture still depends on audits, filings, and broader disclosures beyond blockchain data.　　New Bitcoin Features Across Cash App and Square　　Alongside transparency, Block introduced several features to make Bitcoin easier to use in daily life. On Cash App, eligible users can now automatically convert incoming payments into Bitcoin.　　A new “Bitcoin Back” feature also offers up to 5% rewards in Bitcoin when spending at Square merchants, with limits applied.　　Withdrawal limits have also been increased significantly, now set at $10,000 per day and $25,000 per week for eligible users.　　For merchants, Square is preparing to demonstrate NFC tap-to-pay Bitcoin payments at Bitcoin Las Vegas 2026.
