Crypto Markets started today with a big deal when US government data first collided with blockchain. Pyth Network and ChainLink have worked with Commerce Department to push GDP figures up to crypto chains such as Solana and Ethereum. Following on, Pyth Crypto’s price action went wild, but ton and link holder cleaned up the bruises.

Pyth stole the Crypto Show, surgening from 70% of the announcement. Money is flowing as Oracle’s role in real-time data delivery is verified by Uncle Sam. Meanwhile, Solana is still surfing its waves, and its ecosystem metrics are reaching new highs.

Meanwhile, Tonn hit the rough waters and was soaked up $2.60 in support during the builder’s Exodus memorial drama. The community is frustrated with impediments in mobility and failed promises. Even with telegram ties, the sentiment is sour and the activity on the chain is flatlined.

Expectations for Link, Sol and Pis’s cryptography

ChainLink is currently integrating with replacement products at record lows. People will vent online about supply emissions that are outweighing demand and call on Link Teams for stagnation. However, the new reserve program is quietly buying back revenues. Therefore, there may be a turnaround in the play. The link comes with SBI and Euroclear partnerships, but prices are still behind. On-chain data shows that whales are actively snapping links.

Solana has momentum with a record of 600 million weeks of trading and 81% control of DEX volume. Developers count Blast Paets from 83% to over 7,600 to ensure they don’t forget to submit ETFs from Vaneck and Bitwise. Firedancer Update also has a promise of 100 times the scale, drawing Visa and BlackRock.

Sol TVL has climbed its annual peak with a 107K TPS burst. Memecoin’s hype and tokenized inventory are the reasons for the sol volume bump. PayPal and upcoming Alpenglow will likely drive the Solana for over $250.

In addition to other players, Pyth has pushed its market capitalization by over $1 billion. This is a large code number that will not be seen since May. US-Pyth has a partnership that provides GDP data across 10 chains, pumping crypto trading volumes up to 70%.

Pyth Crypto has benefited a lot from the Solana ecosystem, especially with unauthorized governance. Pyth has been rewarding stakers with cross-chain crypto airdrops. As Oracles fills in Tradfi and Defi, it could come if explosive adoption of Pyth is underway.

Helium HNT is ready for meeting: new price analysis reveals why

by Akiyama Felix

Helium HNT Mobile is one of the crypto companies that continues to build. As the team pushes new developments, the base continues to grow in the background. The new talknomics model redirects 100% of HELIUM Mobile’s monthly subscriber revenue to burn HNT Crypto, thus creating shortages and, in theory, increase value.

HNT is burned to create data credits used to pay for all network activity, including data transfer over IoT and 5G networks.

Simply put: More Users -> More Network Activity -> More HNT burns.

As a growing Depin project backed by investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Pantera Capital, Deutsche Telecom and Goodyear Ventures (yes, tire companies), Helium Mobile’s HNT will be one of the great performance coins during the upcoming Depin season.

Forget your mortgage quote: Crypto and Memecoin can change your life

by Akiyama Felix

Crypto Memecoins is rewriting its financial playbook and pulling retailers out of the grief they hear from billionaires about mortgage estimates. Memecoin’s market capitalization reaches $74.5 billion and a daily volume of $6.6 billion, and these tokens are one of the paths to finding financial freedom.

Memecoins like Dogecoin, Shib, and Pepe deliver traditional fund-shattering returns. Especially in the dog-themed category, there’s no way to turn into a billionaire within less than a month, unless it comes from Memocoin.

(Memocoin Growth, Source – Co Ringecko))

Retailers turn small bets from Mimecoin every year by millions. Last year, Solana Memecoins hype brought hundreds of times more coins. This year, Trump-related tokens reach an all-time high of market capitalization at a fully diluted value of $73 billion. The President showed the raw energy of Memecoin and gave people the opportunity to become billionaires.

Shiba Inu Shib was the top member who printed billionaires in the last Bull Run, making people forget about mortgage estimates.

What you need to know

• Galaxy Ring two could be in the works, according to a new report.
• The report suggests that the Galaxy Ring 2 is still in its early stages of development and won’t be launching this year.
• The new Galaxy Ring could be slimmer, with better battery life, and an all-new design so that the ring fits better.

The Galaxy Ring launched in July last year, after which the company has since rolled out new sizes for the wearable and teased a new limited-edition colorway. And now, it looks like Samsung is working on the next generation of the wearable.

While we were hoping to see a glimpse of the Galaxy Ring’s successor at some point this year, it seems highly unlikely, according to a new report. Galaxy Club claims that, Samsung recently started working on its next Galaxy Ring, however, the wearable is only in the early stages of development.

The website further added that since the ring is still in the works, it’s hard to gauge the features it could show up with. But they can confirm that, “At the moment, we do not expect a launch in 2025.”

Given that the Ring is still under development, folks at Galaxy Club feel that the smart ring could likely show up along with the Korean OEM’s next flagship model — Galaxy S26 series, or later.

That said, we have been privy to a few Galaxy Ring 2 rumors in the past couple of months, and most of them point to a potential design change. “Some time ago we also saw a patent application for a design with a flexible design that ensures that sensors fit better around your finger,” the website added.

In March, we heard that the Galaxy Ring 2 could potentially come with new sensors that measure not just the surface but also the body temperatures of the user, as well as others.

Additionally, we heard that the new ring might also sport motion sensors such as an accelerometer and gyroscope. This will gauge the user’s finger and hand movements that will determine “where it is as well as how it’s being used.”

More recently, a report suggested that Samsung is considering using solid electrolytes instead of a traditional lithium-ion battery, increasing the energy density from 200 to 360Wh/L and offering greater flexibility that would be perfect for this rounded form factor.

However, considering that these new “dream batteries” could be expensive, the next Galaxy Ring could cost much more than most smart rings on the market. While these leaks seem promising, they should be taken with a grain of salt until we see any substantial announcement from the company.

Extra deal: The Ring Outdoor Cam is also on sale

Smart rings are one of the fastest-growing wearable categories today. But based on information Ultrahuman shared with me, most of its customers are iPhone owners. As a writer for an Android site, I was curious why — and what that means for Android-only smart rings like the Galaxy Ring.

It’s rare for tech companies to share their Android/iOS splits. But during an Ultrahuman factory tour when I got to make a smart ring by hand, the Ultrahuman execs shared a couple of surprising factoids about their smart ring business.

First, the Ultrahuman Ring Air has blown up in popularity. Its business has grown by 15 times in the last 18 months, and its share of total smart ring sales grew from 12% in 2023 to 35% in 2024, according to IDC stats. The Oura Ring still dominates more than half of global sales, but the sub-free Ring Air has done well.

Apparently, Ultrahuman has female customers to thank for this surge. In 2023, 75% of its customers identified as male in the app; now, 60% of its users are female.

At the same time, Ultrahuman confirmed that 75–80% of Ultrahuman’s customers use the iOS app, and that hasn’t changed much over the last couple of years. While its European and Asian sales may skew Android, as soon as the U.S. became the Ring Air’s largest market, iOS became the overwhelming focus.

While I don’t have stats for other companies, this Cognitive Market Research report includes charts showing that a majority of smart ring owners use Android worldwide, but that at least 40% of smart ring sales come in North America.

And again, about 75–80% of North American smart ring owners use iOS, even though nearly half of North American phones use Android.

Why many Android users haven’t hopped on the smart ring train yet

I asked Ultrahuman’s CEO and CBO about this iOS/Android gap. They answered that iOS users like “closed systems” and put more stock on “aesthetics,” and so they’re happy to buy an all-in-one device like a smart ring that curates the experience and information for you.

He also mentioned it being a matter of demographics, that iOS users — or North American techies — might have more discretionary income to spend on smart rings.

By contrast, he thinks that Android users like “customization,” “personalization,” and the ability to “overclock” devices with enough effort. A screen-less smart ring doesn’t fit that description, because you can’t peek under the hood or activate developer settings (as you can on Wear OS).

Another reason could be the Galaxy Ring, since so many Android users prefer Galaxy phones and might want the best integration. An unconfirmed report suggested Samsung bumped its Galaxy Ring production from 400,000 to 1 million last year due to high demand, so maybe the Android crowd simply ignored non-Samsung options.

It’s odd, then, that IDC sales figures don’t seem to reflect that, with Oura and Ultrahuman owning close to 90% of global smart ring sales by the end of 2024.

I believe the Galaxy Ring’s Android exclusivity works against it because North Americans with disposable income for a $399 ring either (A) own an iPhone or (B) already have a Galaxy Watch or another smartwatch that costs less and does more.

Worldwide, Android users with less income still buy smart rings, based on the stats available. But they have so many options in the $150–300 range that the Galaxy Ring has trouble standing out, besides the Samsung label.

How smart rings might appeal more to the Android crowd

Ultrahuman’s Mohit Kumar believes their business won’t be quite as iOS-skewed once they push more sales in Europe and Asia. But still, there’s a reason why they started making their rings in Texas: smart rings have a growing market Stateside. So demographics aside, I asked whether they want to court the North American Android crowd more.

He argued that they’re already taking those steps by adding more customization to the Ultrahuman app. PowerPlugs allow users to choose what data they see like AFib or Vitamin D, and the new UltraSignal developer platform and public APIs let anyone access the PPG data and use it for their own applications.

Otherwise, if we’re talking “power users,” then a Galaxy Ring 2 could deliver closer integration with other devices, like gestures to control smart glasses, NFC for Samsung Pay, or haptic feedback for phone notifications.

But most smart rings will remain understated, fashionable, and somewhat expensive wellness or medical devices, rather than customizable, overclockable tech.

Obviously, some Android users buy smart rings! But I’m curious if, as a collective, they’ll ever embrace rings as iOS users have, or if they’ll happily stick with Wear OS watches or fitness watches and see smart rings as an expensive novelty more than a necessity.

The group operated mainly in Spain, with links to Austria and Belgium, and supported clients involved in drug smuggling and human trafficking, according to a May 14 report from Europol.

Instead of going through traditional banks, the network used a system similar to hawala—an informal way to send money that relies on personal trust rather than official records. In this case, crypto was used to carry out the transfers.

Investigators said the group also advertised these services on social media, which presented them as normal remittance options.

The arrests, carried out in January 2025, followed a joint operation led by Spanish authorities with help from Belgium and Austria. Europol supported the investigation, and over 250 officers were involved in the raids. Most of the suspects were from China or Syria and targeted clients from similar backgrounds.

Fifteen people were arrested in Spain, one in Austria, and one in Belgium. So far, 15 of them have been placed in custody while the investigation continues.

Police seized €4.5 million (around $5 million) worth of items during the operation. This included 18 cars, four shotguns, and various electronics.

About €183,000 (roughly $205,000) in cryptocurrency was taken, along with €421,000 (around $471,000) in cash from 77 linked bank accounts. Officers also collected high-value goods such as designer bags, watches, and cigars worth €876,000 (close to $980,000).

Meanwhile, on May 8, the US Department of Justice sentenced Mohammed Azharuddin Chhipa of Virginia to over 30 years in prison. What led to the sentencing? Read the full story.

This weekend, I flew to Plano, Texas, to check out Ultrahuman’s new factory. After they walked me through every official step of the process, I slipped on some gloves and started making a smart ring by hand. And it gave me a new appreciation for my own smart ring.

Smart rings aren’t designed to be taken apart and put back together like other tech. You might know what sensors are inside, but you probably don’t know what else is sitting inside all that titanium, resin, and ceramic, and what determines how thick these rings are. Ring makers don’t necessarily want you to think about what’s inside.

But with Ultrahuman’s Ring Air in the midst of a sales and patent war with the Oura Ring, the company decided to show off its new American factory. This had the nice side effect of finally sating our curiosity about how smart rings are made, something other brands have been reluctant to talk about in the past.

Plus, I get to brag that I “made” a smart ring, even if they could only let us finish certain parts of the process.

How smart rings are made

The photo galleries below show nearly every step of Ultrahuman’s smart ring-making process, starting with the creation of printed circuit boards (PCBs), which contain the SoC, PPG, IMU, temperature, and Bluetooth components.

These components are mass-producible — an engineer suggested one machine could produce 10,000 PCBs in a day — and made of fiberglass, polyamide, and ceramic materials, chosen to make them bendable enough to slide naturally into the rounded ring shape.

But the “UltraFactory” currently only makes about 400 smart rings per day, though Ultrahuman has promised to hit about 1,350 per day or 500,000 per year by the end of 2025. There are several pain points, starting with the fact that the other mass-produced components have to be soldered onto the PCB by hand.

Image 1 of 5

After they create the PCBs, do internal and external spot checks for any flaws, and program each PCB with the requisite software, they’re ready for the next step: soldering.

First, the Rx coil is soldered onto the PCB; then, the battery is soldered onto the coil. They brush off the excess alloy, leaving one seamless, bendable component ready to be inserted into the ring.

Image 1 of 2

With a 3D-printed part, the welded-together PCB is curved into a proper J shape. The workers then apply glue to the titanium-carbon ring you’re familiar with, remove the cover for the PCB’s adhesive layer, and finally shove the component into place.

They do a software check — since technically, you could wear the ring at this point — and then place the ring inside a silicone mold. One mold with 12 rings is brought to the casting station, which is one part of the factory where they wouldn’t let us photograph or record.

There, they inject epoxy resin into the ring from the thickest portion — the PPG — inside a vacuum-sealed chamber to prevent any resin bubbles. The process takes 24 hours, because heating the resin to harden it faster would damage the components. Ultrahuman said this casting process is one of the big pain points that slows down the ring process.

Image 1 of 6

At this point, the smart ring is almost ready to be worn, but the resin will look rough and have hard edges that’ll hurt your finger. They spend about 30 minutes cleaning and polishing it into consumer-ready form.

Once that’s done, they do one more software check to ensure everything is up to code. Then, they place the ring on a 3D-printed part to check its size; if it won’t fit or slides all the way down the cylinder, they know it’s not to code. Otherwise, the Ultrahuman Ring Air is ready to be sold!

How I made a smart ring

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll note that I couldn’t make a smart ring from start to finish during this tour. The 24-hour resin process made that impossible. So it’s more accurate to say that I got halfway through making a smart ring and then returned a different smart ring for the final part of the process. Nor did I get to handle any software or hardware QC.

I’m still going to say I made a smart ring, though. They told me my halfway-done smart ring would eventually be sold to someone, and that’s pretty neat.

Image 1 of 3

Following the steps above, I soldered the receiver coil onto the PCB by scraping some adhesive onto the coil and then stepping on a switch to trigger the machine (without burning off my thumbnail, thankfully). I then had to solder two separate points to attach the battery before brushing away the excess adhesive.

I curved the Ring Air components so they would fit inside, ripped off the adhesive with tweezers, shoved them inside the ring, and then pressed hard on the sensors to make them stick.

I was sure my clumsy, shaking fingers would break something, but it turned out my only issue was being too gentle. One portion came loose as I started to shove my smart ring into the casting mold, but I got it reattached and waved farewell to my ring.

Then they gave me another ring further along in the process and had me clean off the resin, using an electric spinning brush, sandpaper, and some 3M buffing fluid. I didn’t get to finish the full 15+ minutes before Ultrahuman staff hustled me along to my interview, but I can honestly say I got that Ring Air into good enough shape that the resin wouldn’t cut any fingers or look unsightly.

How smart ring manufacturing might change

I asked Ultrahuman’s CEO, Mohit Kumar, and chief business officer, Bhuvan Srinivasan, about smart ring repairability, a major issue with all smart rings. The resin that keeps components in place and protected also makes it all but impossible to take rings apart for repair, and there are no visible buttons for resetting a malfunctioning ring.

They explained that they hope to add a tiny, hidden button to their smart rings. If a Ring Air is sent in for repair, they’ll be able to remove a tiny bit of resin to hold down that button and reboot the ring into a mode where it can receive firmware updates.

I asked if they had any hopes for a more modular design that would let them remove and replace a battery, since smart ring batteries are so small and susceptible to losing capacity after a couple of years. Kumar replied that they’re interested in it, but I got the sense that it’s more of a pie-in-the-sky goal than something they’re actively pursuing at the moment.

For now, they’re more focused on optimization. Because American labor costs are higher than in their Indian facility, they’re looking to make the process more efficient; for example, they found a new casting machine that would inject resin into four times as many rings at once, breaking open that bottleneck in the factory line.

As for me, I’m curious how the manufacturing processes of other smart rings differ from those of Ultrahuman and how they are evolving as the tech improves. But proprietary differences aside, the UltraFactory experience gave me respect for the amount of quality control that goes into making a smart ring — while also surprising me that someone like me with no industrial experience can go through the steps with enough hand-holding and patience.

POV the internal dialogue of everyone who looked at the charts today: “don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry”

Yuup, the markets are still having a breakdown after Donald Trump’s tariff announcement last week (we explained that mess here btw).

The main idea of tariffs is to make foreign products more expensive so people buy American-made stuff instead. Pretty simple.

But, major plot twist! Other countries can play this game, too. Literally who would’ve thought.

And it’s exactly what China’s doing – they UNO reverse carded a 34% tariff on US goods.

Now, the US and China are the two biggest economies in the world, and if this trade fight keeps going, it could slow down the entire global economy.

Markets HATE this kind of uncertainty.

Result: Thursday was the biggest single-day stock sell-off since 2020.

With all that happening, investors are now desperately looking to the Fed to cut interest rates.

Matter of fact, not only investors – Trump also said that this would be a “PERFECT time” for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to start cutting ’em.

But speaking at Georgetown University about the economic outlook on Friday, Powell said he’s still not ready to cut rates… because things are too uncertain.

So now everyone’s watching this week’s inflation data:

Tariffs = higher import taxes = more expensive everything. So if those numbers come in hot, Powell might have to wait even longer to lower rates.

And as for our daily dose of hopium… crypto trader Lark Davis says this whole thing could be our “new COVID crash.” You know, when everything collapsed in 2020, but then we had the biggest bull run ever.

Sooo, his advice – just survive. There’s a chance we’re heading for more short-term pain, but if Powell cuts rates, and the money printers go brrr again, Q3 and Q4 might surprise us with a rally.

Until then… stay hydrated, and maybe invest in a nice squishy stress ball.

Memecoin harvest

Lambo dreams funded by memes – here’s who’s driving today:

Data as of 11:20 AM EST.

Check out these memecoins and plenty more here.

Welcome back to our favorite show: “Celebrities getting into crypto and failing”!!

Today’s guest star: Conor McGregor.

Over the weekend, the MMA legend teamed up with the Real World Gaming DAO to launch his very own memecoin called REAL.

Instead of just throwing it on a DEX and letting bots go wild, they did a sealed-bid auction, which is a type of auction where everyone submits their bids without knowing what anyone else is bidding.

After the bidding window closes, the project looks at all the bids and decides who gets how many tokens. If there’s a minimum funding goal and it’s not reached, the whole thing can be canceled.

And hey, Conor was being real (get it … yeah, I apologize) when he said he was gonna change the crypto game – he became one of the first celebrities that didn’t rug!

… Because there was nothing to rug. The token never launched.

They didn’t hit their minimum raise.

The team was hoping to bring in a nice fat $3.6M, but only got about $392K during the presale (which is about 10% of their goal).

And all 668 people who joined the presale will now get refunded.

Moral of the story? Maybe – just maybe – launching a memecoin while the entire market is down bad… isn’t the best knockout strategy?

The new token was created in partnership with Real World Gaming decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). According to the project details, REAL will offer staking incentives and governance rights to people who hold the tokens.

McGregor announced the launch on social media platform X on April 5, claiming this token would differ from other celebrity-backed cryptocurrencies.

“I changed the FIGHT game. I changed the WHISKEY game. I changed the STOUT game. Now it’s time to change the CRYPTO game. This is just the beginning,” McGregor wrote in his post.

Project Aims To Reshape Gambling Through Real-Life Experiences

The REAL token project has set its sights on changing the gambling industry by connecting it more closely with real-life experiences and mainstream consumers. According to the information released, McGregor and his team plan to use the funds to launch ventures related to sports and gaming.

In interviews, the MMA champion emphasized that transparency is at the center of the REAL token project. He stated they are “demonstrating how it’s done with integrity to the world,” attempting to distance this launch from other celebrity cryptocurrency projects that have faced criticism.

Memecoin Market Sees Activity Amid Economic Doubts

The introduction of McGregor’s token comes at a time when cryptocurrency traders are showing interest in memecoins but may not be committed to long-term holding.

Nansen research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard pointed out that “smart money” traders often seek quick profits from memecoin trades.

According to Sondergaard, the current increase in memecoin activity stems from traders exploring the market while waiting for the broader economic situation to stabilize.

Recent reciprocal tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump have created challenges for stock markets, pushing some investors toward alternative assets like memecoins.
