TON is becoming one of the hottest narratives in the market right now 💎 The rally accelerated after Telegram announced deeper involvement in $TON infrastructure, including validator control and major ecosystem upgrades. The market is no longer treating $TON as just another speculative L1. Right now, investors are repricing it as infrastructure directly connected to Telegram’s ecosystem and massive user base. At the same time, most of the move is still momentum-driven – the real test will be whether network activity and adoption can keep up with the valuation expansion. Still, one thing is clear: the update benefited TON, at least in the short term. And after months of sideways action and heavy drawdowns across the market, strong moves like this are exactly what the crypto community likes to see 📈

May 12 CPI data could become one of the key macro triggers for crypto this month. Inflation expectations are rising again, volatility is building, and the market knows how aggressively BTC reacts to CPI releases. In our latest article, we break down: ⏺ why traders are watching this report so closely ⏺ how macro events impact crypto liquidity ⏺ and why execution quality matters most during high-volatility moments Read the full breakdown below 👇

USDT and USDC may look similar – but the differences between them are becoming more important as regulation, transparency, and institutional adoption reshape the stablecoin market.

Macro vs crypto – what actually drives the market? 📊 In our latest article, we break down how key macro factors impact $BTC and the broader crypto space: ⏺ Fed policy matters – but doesn’t directly define $BTC cycles ⏺ Inflation often aligns with trends, but not as a trigger ⏺ Money supply (M2) plays a bigger role in risk asset expansion ⏺ Crypto still moves on its own drivers: sentiment, adoption, liquidity Bottom line: macro sets the environment – but crypto doesn’t follow a single script.

Poland’s biggest crypto exchange is sitting on $334M in Bitcoin that nobody can move. The founder who held the keys disappeared in 2022, and over a million users are locked out, with no hack involved. Stefan Lauer, our Head of Infrastructure at SimpleSwap, breaks down why this isn’t a bug but a structural feature of how CEX platforms work, and what a non-custodial swap model would change if human dependencies fail.

April’s top swaps on SimpleSwap – what flow is showing 📈 $BTC Back at the top. Flow picked up as price moved higher, still the main anchor, with active positioning around key levels. $XMR Stable demand remains. Flows into privacy protocols haven’t gone anywhere, and Monero continues to stand out as a pioneer in this segment, consistently attracting crypto-native users. $TRX Quietly moving into top activity. Often used as a routing layer, reflects practical usage rather than directional trading. $USDT Still the core liquidity hub. A large share of swaps continues to move through stables, typical positioning in uncertain conditions. $ETH Present, but not leading. Flows are steady, though still lagging behind BTC in terms of momentum. What stands out: Compared to March, there’s less hesitation and more execution, which aligns with a more constructive month for the broader market. Most assets moved higher, total market cap expanded, and the Fear & Greed Index recovered from extreme fear. It’s still too early to call this a clear bullish trend, but the shift is noticeable, especially after a prolonged correction. What were you swapping in April?

How to analyze tokenomics like a pro? Here are the core components you should always look at: 🔵 Total Supply & Circulating Supply How many tokens will ever exist? How many are already circulating? Is the current price justified by fundamentals? 🔵 Vesting & Unlock Schedules Most projects begin vesting after TGE (Token Generation Event). Vesting is the gradual release of tokens (e.g., 20% of team tokens released over 2 years). Unlocks are specific dates when these tokens become liquid and can be sold. Studying unlock schedules helps identify potential sell pressure. 🔵 Token Utility Is the token used for anything beyond speculation? Does it pay gas fees, unlock services, or provide governance rights? Is there long-term incentive to hold – or is it just designed for short-term flipping? 🔵 Distribution Breakdown Who owns what? What portion is allocated to the team, VCs, community, treasury? If most tokens are in the hands of a few insiders, the project is vulnerable to manipulation. 🔵 Red Flags & Manipulation Patterns Even a slick tokenomics PDF can be skewed to benefit insiders. Watch for: ⏺ Low circulating supply (e.g., only 5–10% circulating, the rest locked with team/funds) ⏺ Large insider unlocks right after listing ⏺ No actual utility, but aggressive marketing during market pumps ⏺ Heavy focus on token price vs product or community development ⏺ Supply concentrated in a few wallets (check explorers and dashboards) Like this kind of content?

What actually holds during a market crash? Infrastructure. During the 2025 'Black Wednesday' event, swap execution rates across the industry dropped to ~10%. At the same time, SimpleSwap maintained a 98.7% execution rate. That difference isn’t luck – it’s architecture. In this interview with U.Today, Stefan Lauer breaks down what really matters when markets break: • Why diversified liquidity (15+ sources) is critical; • How routing adapts under stress; • What enterprise partners actually expect today (SLAs, uptime, predictability). After 8 years in the market, one thing is clear: infrastructure that works in normal conditions means nothing if it fails during volatility. That’s where most providers get exposed. If you’re building wallets, fintech products, or anything involving swaps – this is worth your time 👇 https://bit.ly/41LC09i
