Rune tanks 11% after attackers move $10M in THORChain exploit

On the other hand, the rest of the stolen crypto coins have been performing fairly well despite the turbulence. Bitcoin increased by 2.61% over the past 24 hours to $81,667.13, bringing the value of the 36.85 BTC stolen to around $3.01 million.　　Ethereum remained almost unchanged, rising by only 0.12% to $2,252.88, while the approximately 3,156 ETH stolen remained at $7.11 million.　　Investors struggle in the current crime-driven markets　　DeFi security attacks have persisted through May 2026, with some protocols experiencing losses arising from vulnerabilities in their smart contracts on May 10 and 11, including Huma Finance and Ink Finance.　　As reported by Cryptopolitan, Huma Finance suffered an exploit of its V1 smart contracts deployed on the Polygon blockchain on May 11, resulting in the theft of approximately $101,400 worth of USDC and USDC.e tokens.　　The attack exploited the BaseCreditPool deployment by leveraging a logic vulnerability in the refreshAccount() function to skip EA approval processes, allowing arbitrary promotions of credit accounts to the “GoodStanding” position.　　Meanwhile, Ink Finance became a victim of yet another theft totaling around $140,000 from its Workspace Treasury Proxy contract deployed on Polygon. As reported by Cryptopolitan, the attacker deployed a contract whose address was listed on the whitelist, thereby bypassing eligibility

XRP Burn Rate Surges 36% as Price Breaks Key Resistance

This parabolic price move saw XRP outperform other top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum within the 24-hour trading period, signaling surging demand for the leading altcoin.　　Although the major influence behind XRPs rapid price surge remains uncertain, market participants believe that the asset is seeing increased demand from both retail and institutional investors.　　What to expect for XRP？　　While XRP has traded majorly on the bullish territory this month, the asset is expected to deliver bigger price returns for May, surpassing the monthly gains seen so far this year.　　As of the time of writing, XRP is already projecting a 7.77% gain for the month; this marks the highest monthly return recorded so far in 2024.　　While a bigger price move is expected in the coming days, the month might turn out to become XRPs strongest month so far.

Hyperliquid Price Prediction: Rally Extends Beyond Range Highs as Bulls Target the $50 Psychological Zone

Hyperliquids native token $HYPE extended its strong rally on Friday after buyers regained control across key technical levels. The token traded near $46 after climbing almost 19% in 24 hours.　　Trading activity also accelerated sharply, with daily volume approaching $800 million. The latest breakout pushed $HYPE above its previous consolidation range and reinforced bullish sentiment across the derivatives market.　　Bullish Momentum Strengthens Above Major Support Zones　　$HYPE rebounded aggressively from the $38 region and invalidated the broader corrective structure seen earlier this year. Consequently, the token now trades above all major exponential moving averages on the four-hour chart. The bullish EMA alignment continues supporting trend continuation rather than immediate reversal pressure.　　The recent breakout also reclaimed the important $41 to $42 region. That area previously acted as a heavy resistance cluster. However, bulls flipped the zone into support after sustained buying pressure returned.　　Hyperliquid Price Dynamics (Source: Trading View)　　Momentum indicators also support the current structure. The Directional Movement Index shows buyers maintaining control as the positive directional index remains above the negative reading. Additionally, the ADX trend strength indicator continues rising gradually. That setup often signals expanding momentum instead of a temporary relief bounce.　　Related: $XRP Price Prediction: $XRP Finally Breaks $1.50 On Senate Vote Then

Crypto Price Analysis May-15: ETH, XRP, ADA, BNB, and HYPE

This Friday, we examine Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hyperliquid in greater detail.　　Ethereum ($ETH)　　Ethereum has been hovering just below the $2,400 resistance for over four weeks. With bulls unable to break this level, the price has entered a correction. At the time of this post, $ETH is found at around $2,270 and is at a similar price to last week.　　Since late April, the momentum on Ethereum has turned bearish on the daily timeframe, and the price appears to be catching up with clear lower highs.　　Looking ahead, $ETH has formed a large bearish channel with the lower limit at around $2,200. If that level is lost in the near future, then this cryptocurrency is likely to fall to $2,000 next.　　Source: TradingViewRipple ($XRP)　　$XRP had a good week, closing 6% higher. This comes after the price managed to break out of the blue pennant and rushed towards $1.5. With bulls in control, this cryptocurrency has a real chance to test the key $1.6 resistance next.　　As long as the price holds above the pennant, the bias remains bullish. Should the price fall back within the pennant, that would be interpreted as a bearish signal. Right now, the most important support is found at

Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD remains under pressure near $4,550

In the four-hour chart, XAU/USD trades at $4,553.16, extending a bearish near-term bias as price holds beneath both the 100-period simple moving average (SMA) at $4,655.41 and the 200-period SMA at $4,699.41, as well as below the broader downward resistance trend line near $4,751. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has slipped to oversold territory around 27, hinting that while downside pressure dominates for now, the pace of the recent slide could slow if sellers start to book profits.　　On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the 100-period SMA at $4,655.41, followed by the 200-period SMA at $4,699.41 and the descending trend-line region around $4,751, with higher hurdles aligning at the horizontal barriers around $4,890 and $5,044. On the downside, the first support comes at the descending trend line at $4,479. The next notable support sits at the horizontal level of $4,351, ahead of $4,306 and then $4,099, where buyers may attempt to stabilize the metal after the latest breakdown.

XRP Wave Count Remains Valid: Here Are The Levels To Watch Out For

Tech　　XRP Wave Count Remains Valid: Here Are The Levels To Watch Out For　　XRP has been trading above $1.40 in recent days, with buyers still trying to push on momentum after the pullback from the May 10 high. The cryptocurrencys price has not broken down, but it has also failed to confirm a stronger upside continuation. This leaves the 1-hour chart in an important position. However, the XRP count is still valid.　　The current wave count now depends on notable price levels, which include whether XRP can hold above support at $1.40 and avoid a break below the key $1.38 swing low.　　XRP Pullback From May 10 Still Looks Corrective　　Technical analysis of XRP‘s price action on the 1-hour chart, which was posted by a crypto analyst on the social media platform X, shows that the decline from the May 10 high has not been random noise. The main argument in the analysis is that XRP’s decline from the May 10 high has unfolded as a three-wave move. This has unfolded in an ABC structure, not the kind of five-wave impulsive decline that would precede a trend reversal. According to Elliott Wave analysis, three-wave declines are corrective structures, especially when they develop inside a

Brent: Supply risk keeps prices elevated – Deutsche Bank

Finance　　Brent: Supply risk keeps prices elevated – Deutsche Bank　　Deutsche Banks macro strategy team notes that Brent Oil remains supported by geopolitical tensions and supply concerns. Comments from President Trump about the Strait of Hormuz have reinforced fears of a prolonged disruption, driving prices higher overnight. While Brent was little changed in the previous session, late gains contributed to a more hawkish repricing of Federal Reserve expectations.　　Geopolitics and Fed repricing drive Oil　　“As we go to press this morning, markets have lost momentum after President Trump said the US doesn‘t need the Strait of Hormuz open ”at all“. So that’s added to fears that the Strait will remain blocked for some time, leading to a more protracted energy shock for the global economy.”　　“Indeed, Brent crude oil prices are up another +1.21% overnight to $107.00/bbl.”　　“In the meantime, oil prices were little changed yesterday, with Brent crude (+0.09%) closing at $105.72/bbl.”　　“However, oil did edge higher late in the US session, which contributed to a more hawkish Fed repricing.”　　“For instance, futures almost fully priced in a rate hike by June 2027, with 24bps of tightening now priced (+5.6bps on the day).”
