U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds have removed a record 1.23% of the token’s total supply from circulation, while Bitcoin’s post-options positioning has left the market vulnerable near the $80,000 level. Separately, a dormant Shiba Inu whale wallet has begun transferring SHIB to Coinone.
By the end of April 2026, U.S. spot ETFs had accumulated a record 1.23% of the total XRP supply, equivalent to $1.08 billion in value, according to SoSoValue. Over the past 24 hours, net inflows into these funds totaled $3.89 million, driven entirely by the Franklin Templeton fund (XRPZ).
The shift is notable because April fully offset March’s negative trend. Tokens are moving from exchanges into custodial storage for longer-term holding, creating what the article describes as a structural supply deficit. In less than a month, more than $71 million in fresh capital has been parked in XRP ETFs.
Bitcoin’s market dynamics changed after a major derivatives event. On Deribit, options contracts worth $9.8 billion expired. While BTC remained above the Max Pain level, the article says price action showed “deceptive fragility” immediately after the expiry.
At the 08:00 UTC expiration timestamp, BTC traded around $77,900—about $6,000 above the $72,000 Max Pain point. Call option buyers exited with significant profit, but that outcome was followed by inertia: a brief 0.53% move lifted BTC to $78,000, followed by a 0.66% pullback, indicating limited fuel to sustain trading above the $80,000 psychological level.
A dormant wallet identified as 0x9d9f823F, holding 1.66 trillion SHIB, resumed activity after months of inactivity. Arkham data cited in the article shows the whale sent an initial 20 billion SHIB to Coinone’s hot wallet.
The wallet is described as a major holder within the SHIB ecosystem, with a total portfolio exceeding $10.25 million, most of it allocated to Shiba Inu. The 20 billion SHIB transfer is valued at approximately $120,000 to $150,000 at current prices.
Although the transfer represents only 1.2% of the wallet’s holdings, the article notes that the timing—after a long pause—can signal a change in strategy. It also points to relatively low trading volume of $76.67 million on Coinone, suggesting the market may need to absorb any additional supply if further test sales continue.
Bitcoin ended the week up 5.85% from Monday’s open. The article attributes the current impulse to returning institutional demand led by BlackRock IBIT and the completion of a whale distribution phase, while also noting that ETF inflows and exchange liquidity scarcity are outweighing geopolitical uncertainty near the $80,000 level.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
