Bitcoin miners show no sign of capitulation as structural signals stay positive, Bitfinex says

Worldcoin ($WLD), the native crypto of the Altman-backed &#8216;World Orb&#8217; eye- 
scanning project, is now available in most parts of the US. Tools for 
Humanity&#8217;s &#8216;World orb&#8217; is an initiative by the OpenAI founder that offers 
people $WLD in exchange for scanning their eyes. The project aims to develop 
$WLD as a blockchain-based global ID, which will help identify humans online. 
Whenever someone scans their eye using a World Orb, the system stores that 
information on the blockchain to verify an individual&#8217;s online identity. It&#8217;ll 
also help distinguish between what’s real and what’s artificially generated. 
Read on as we spill more information about this innovative initiative. We’ll 
also cover another revolutionary AI-crypto project (SUBBD Token) promising 
sizable gains. What in the $WLD? $WLD is the native token of the Worldcoin 
project used to reward people for participating, among other things. People 
who scan their eyes with a World Orb will get 16 $WLD, while those who have 
already downloaded and registered on the World app will receive 150 $WLD as a 
‘pioneer grant.’ The project plans to install more than 7,500 scanning orbs 
across the US by the end of this year. The team says its orbs have already 
verified 12 million humans from over 100 countries on its World Chain. In time 
for the US launch, the orb design has been revamped; it’s now more compact and 
looks like a smartphone instead of the earlier ‘ball-like’ form factor. Tools 
for Humanity is also in talks with VISA about launching a debit card linked to 
the $WLD cryptocurrency. Users can use the card to directly pay at merchant 
stores for automatic fiat currency conversions. Cardholders will also receive 
rewards for subscribing to AI services like ChatGPT. Besides this, you can use 
the World Wallet app to send and receive $WLD and other cryptocurrencies 
through private chat. What&#8217;s more, ID integration with Stripe, Match Group, 
and Razor will also soon be introduced on the app. Without a doubt, Worldcoin 
is an excellent example of how Web3 technology can be integrated into real- 
world applications. As the global cryptocurrency adoption increases with 
supportive government regulations, we’ll see more exciting applications. One 
such is the SUBBD Token ($SUBBD), pegged as the next potential crypto to 
explode, thanks to its AI solutions for the $85B digital content industry. 
What Is SUBBD Token ($SUBBD)? &#8216;The #1 AI agent creator platform&#8217;, SUBBD offers 
a never-before-seen mix of social media influencers, artificial intelligence, 
and cryptocurrency, revolutionizing how online content creators and their fans 
interact. Currently, creators must put up with exorbitant fees and lackluster 
platforms that don&#8217;t help them improve or monetize their content offerings. 
SUBBD, however, comes with tons of AI-powered tools, such as image, voice, 
video, and profile generators, to help creators upscale and automate their 
content production process. Moreover, creators will also be able to set up 
various monetization routes, such as subscriptions, pay-per-view (PPV), NFT 
sales, and tipping. $SUBBD Token Holders Get Significant Benefits $SUBBD also 
has something for the fans. Using $SUBBD, the native currency of the SUBBD 
platform, fans can access their favorite creators&#8217; exclusive work. $SUBBD 
holders will also get exclusive discounts on content and subscriptions, as 
well as early access to beta features, new creator tools, launchpads, and 
more. Holding $SUBBD tokens also gives holders governance rights. That means 
they all have a say in decisions, such as creator onboarding, themes, and 
communities. Even $SUBBD&#8217;s staking rewards come with on-platform benefits. 
Stake your tokens to receive access to exclusive creator livestreams, daily 
BTS drops, in-house content from SUBBD&#8217;s top talents, and a fixed 20% APY from 
the staking pool. SUBBD Token Is Currently in Presale Considering $SUBBD&#8217;s 
unique positioning, it&#8217;s no wonder our SUBBD Token price prediction suggests 
it could reach $0.668 by the end of 2026 – a gain of over 1,200%. Become an 
early investor to make the most of SUBBD&#8217;s market dominance. It&#8217;s currently in 
presale, so you can buy $SUBBD for just $0.055325 per token. It&#8217;s already 
raised some $335K, showing strong early interest. For more information, check 
out $SUBBD&#8217;s whitepaper. And visit their X feed and Telegram channel for 
regular updates. Finally, please remember that none of the above is financial 
advice. We urge you to do your own research before investing in crypto.

Worldcoin Launches in the US, AI Coins Like SUBBD to Skyrocket

In a post on X, crypto analyst Dr Cat (@DoctorCatX) laid out a detailed road 
map for the XRP/BTC pair that hinges on both the thickness of the monthly 
Ichimoku cloud and Bitcoin’s eventual trajectory toward six-figure territory. 
The analyst’s working target is a test of 5,200 satoshis by June—a level that 
“must fight three obstacles at the same time: the quarterly Kijun Sen, a 
bearish TK cross with a decent gap between Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen, and the 
Chikou Span resistance,” he wrote. As a result, he assigns “around 90 percent” 
odds that the first assault on that level will fail to close a quarterly 
candle above the Kijun, noting that on a three-month chart “a few 
candles/tries” implies a time horizon “= a year and more.” How High Can XRP 
Price Go? The accompanying monthly chart, shows a fat kumo acting as near-term 
ceiling and forming “a close confluence to the 3M Kijun Sen.” One annotation 
highlights “one more resistance hard to break,” while another points out that 
by the fourth quarter the kumo is forecast to thin dramatically, giving any 
later attempt “more strength due to [a] widening TK gap.” Dr Cat sees two 
pathways once May trading is underway. If momentum carries through and the 
5,200-satoshi zone is pierced during May–June, “we attack in May and June and 
get $4.5-$6 then reject at least initially (but it might be also rejecting for 
good).” That dollar translation, he clarified, assumes Bitcoin fluctuating 
between $90,000 and $120,000: “If BTC is at $90K this is roughly $4.5 and if 
it is at $120k this is roughly $6.” Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Says XRP To 
$10 Is Just The Start The second scenario involves the weekly chart slipping 
into range-bound behavior, triggering either “a complete flop” or “long 
consolidation (think months).” Prolonged coiling would shrink the gap between 
Tenkan and Kijun, erode the thickness of the monthly cloud and, crucially, 
dull the influence of the quarterly Kijun. “In this case,” he argued, “the 
chance for the moon target of 12K satoshi significantly increases.” Pushed on 
what that would mean in dollar terms, Dr Cat replied: “30 $ is the same, 
assuming BTC explodes much higher much later to $250K (probably even $270K), 
multiply this by 12K satoshi and you get $30.” The implication is that XRP’s 
upside ceiling is bound to Bitcoin’s own expansion. A parabolic run in BTC to 
a quarter-million dollars would effectively scale Dr Cat’s sats-denominated 
target into a $30 spot price for XRP—roughly a 5,000 percent rally from 
current levels. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Debunks $100,000 XRP ‘Dark 
Pool’ Theory While the analyst’s framework leans heavily on traditional 
Ichimoku mechanics—cloud thickness, TK gaps and Chikou Span interaction—he 
repeatedly cautions that quarterly resistance levels do not yield easily. Even 
a successful penetration this summer would likely be followed by pullbacks 
before a sustainable break. Conversely, the comfort of an extended base- 
building phase could allow XRP to confront those same resistances 
“significantly easier” later in the year, when the cloud is paper-thin. For 
traders, the message is that timing and context may matter more than the raw 
number. Whether XRP first taps the $4-$6 window and retreats or spends months 
coiling below resistance, the analyst argues that the ultimate escape velocity 
to double-digit prices is conditional on Bitcoin’s march past its all-time 
high and toward the $250,000–$270,000 band. At press time, XRP traded at 
$2.10. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Binance co-founder Changpeng &#8220;CZ&#8221; Zhao expects Bitcoin&#8217;s price to top at 
$500,000 to $1 million during this market cycle.
During an interview with Rug Radio published on May 5, Zhao said that he 
expects Bitcoin to reach up to one million dollars during this market cycle. 
He also highlighted the role of Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in 
this rise, saying that the increasing institutionalization of Bitcoin is a 
good thing for the market:
&gt; &#8220;There&#8217;s the ETFs. There&#8217;s this institutionalization of Bitcoin [ … ] it&#8217;s a 
&gt; positive in terms of price action, obviously. Our bags are up &#8212; not the 
&gt; alt‑coins as much, but at least Bitcoin is.&#8221;
Zhao explained that the ETFs are &#8220;bringing the traditional institution money 
into crypto&#8221; and &#8220;most of the money in the US is institutional money.&#8221; He said 
that &#8220;Bitcoin is going up because most of the ETFs are Bitcoin-based.&#8221;

## Governments are in on it, too
Zhao also highlighted that governments are increasingly buying Bitcoin as 
well, which &#8220;is really good for the price action.&#8221; He also said:
&gt; &#8220;It&#8217;s also very good validation.&#8221;
The remarks follow multiple countries accumulating Bitcoin. In late April, El 
Salvador, the world&#8217;s first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, 
continued acquiring Bitcoin despite the International Monetary Fund&#8217;s comments 
claiming the opposite. In the seven days leading to April 27, the country 
acquired 7 BTC worth over $650,000 at the time.
The country&#8217;s Bitcoin Office data shows that El Salvador currently holds 
nearly 6,170 BTC worth almost $580 million. The Kingdom of Bhutan is also 
accumulating Bitcoin. January reports suggested that a new economic hub in the 
country plans to set up a strategic cryptocurrency reserve comprising major 
crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ether (ETH).

## A shift in US policy
The former Binance CEO also noted that the US &#8220;has pivoted 180 degrees under a 
pro-crypto president,&#8221; hinting at the election of Donald Trump. He said:
&gt; &#8220;They&#8217;re smart enough to recognise that buying Bitcoin is a great move, and 
&gt; now other countries will have to follow.&#8221;
Talking about retail investors, he said that they &#8220;had 15 years to buy.&#8221; 
Consequently, &#8220;if they&#8217;re late now, that was their choice.&#8221;
