Weak data on the CPI has led to a reduction in risks in bitcoin derivatives. Open interest (OI) on major crypto exchanges fell by nearly $1.25 billion, noted CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha. Source: CryptoQuant. According to the analyst, heightened inflation forced investors to close positions, avoid opening new ones, and reduce leverage. The decline was observed simultaneously on several major derivatives trading platforms — Binance, Gate.io, Bybit, and OKX. This indicates a broader reduction in short-term risks in the bitcoin futures market, Taha believes. "Inflation exceeding expectations can pressure risk assets as it undermines the narrative of a softer monetary policy and pushes traders towards a cautious strategy," explained the expert. The analyst clarified that in the current context, the drop in OI might reflect a short-term reaction from traders rather than a clear long-term bearish signal: "When a significant drop in open interest occurs across several crypto exchanges following a macroeconomic catalyst, it often indicates a rapid adaptation of traders to new risk conditions."  State of the Crypto Market Following the release of CPI data, bitcoin fell from $81,000 to the current $79,000 — a 2.5% drop. 15-minute BTC/USDT chart on Binance. Source: TradingView. On May 13, the US also published the Core Producer Price Index (Core PPI). The annual figure, like inflation, was above forecasts — 5.2% against the expected 4.3%. In March, the Core PPI was 4%. The latest figure is the highest since 2022.  The index reflects changes in prices for goods and services, excluding volatile categories like food and energy. Along with another negative macro factor, CryptoQuant noted the rise in unrealized profits of bitcoin traders. The average figure reached 17.7%. Bitcoin traders’ unrealized profit margins hit 17.7%, the highest since June 2025.The last time margins reached these levels while Bitcoin tested the 200-day MA was March 2022, just before the downtrend resumed. pic.twitter.com/Zgfe9jFTiv— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) May 13, 2026 "The last time margins reached such levels was in March 2022, when bitcoin tested the 200-day moving average just before the downtrend resumed," analysts warned.  Back in March, MN Trading founder Michaël van de Poppe believed that bitcoin had no obvious reasons for a decline. According to him, a false notion of forming a "bearish flag" and moving to $50,000 by the end of the year had taken hold in the market.

Waymo has recalled approximately 3,800 autonomous taxis in the United States to address software issues that led to vehicles "driving onto a flooded road." This is according to a letter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The American regulator stated that the voluntary recall pertains to vehicles equipped with fifth and sixth generation autonomous driving systems. Earlier, cameras in Austin, Texas, captured Waymo's autonomous vehicles driving onto a flooded street, where they stalled and blocked other drivers. One unoccupied vehicle was swept into a creek. The company announced that it has found a way to improve vehicle performance in impassable flooded lanes. "Waymo conducts over half a million trips a week in some of the most challenging driving conditions across the United States, and safety is our top priority," company representatives noted. The company is working on "additional software safety measures" and has implemented "tools to mitigate risks," which limit the operational area of robotaxis in extreme weather conditions. Robotaxi Imperfections Similar incidents have occurred elsewhere, highlighting ongoing safety issues with robotaxis. Waymo has faced criticism for its vehicles failing to yield to school buses in Austin. The company's cars have also become stuck on the streets of San Francisco due to widespread power outages. Users have repeatedly posted photos and videos of traffic incidents: groups of robotaxis with hazard lights on blocking traffic, causing disruptions to the general flow.

The situation led to collisions, and passengers were trapped in the vehicles.

Trading volumes on decentralized exchanges within the Solana network have fallen to 94% compared to Ethereum's figures. This marks the lowest level in the past 12 months. For comparison, in January, the "people's cryptocurrency" blockchain reached a peak of 218%. Both networks handle approximately $45 billion in monthly trading volume. Ethereum has maintained its position thanks to deep liquidity and the stability of the DeFi sector, which is less dependent on speculative demand. Solana targets retail users with low fees and high speed. Its growth is typically linked to the hype around meme coins and AI tokens.  Ethereum's advantages include the influx of institutional capital and a high TVL. The supply volume of stablecoins on Solana shows an upward trend. At the time of writing, the figure stands at $15.44 billion, while in the leading altcoin network, it is $165 billion. Ethereum still holds the lead in the total value of circulating stablecoins. However, Solana's growth rates indicate increasing competition between the first-level networks. Back in April, activity in Ethereum reached a new high. The 100-day moving average of this indicator hit a record at 587,000.

On-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals the largest corporate XRP treasury is facing a $389 million unrealized loss after buying near the market top.

The Japanese public company Metaplanet released its financial report for the first quarter. The firm's net loss amounted to 114.5 billion yen ($725.6 million) due to the decline in the price of the leading cryptocurrency. Despite the overall loss, the company's operational metrics improved. Revenue increased by 251.1% compared to the previous year, reaching 3.08 billion yen ($19.5 million). Operating profit was 2.3 billion yen ($14.4 million). The main drivers of growth were income from bitcoin options strategies and the hotel business. The negative net result is attributed to accounting rules. Due to the decline in bitcoin's price at the end of the quarter, the company recorded an unrealized loss from asset revaluation of 116.4 billion yen ($737.6 million). Metaplanet emphasized that these are merely short-term market fluctuations. During the reporting period, the firm acquired 5075 BTC. As of March 31, the total balance was estimated at 40,177 BTC. Currently, Metaplanet controls about 87% of all bitcoins held by public companies in Japan. Globally, it ranks third among corporate holders, behind Strategy and Twenty One Capital. Metaplanet plans to continue increasing its reserves of digital gold. The company employs stock issuance and debt financing, including a $500 million credit line secured by cryptocurrency, to achieve this. "We will continue to accumulate bitcoin and allocate capital in a disciplined manner," stated representatives of the organization. The forecast for 2026 remains unchanged: the company expects to achieve 16 billion yen in revenue and 11.4 billion yen in operating profit. The yield on bitcoin assets for the past quarter was 2.8%. Upexi's Losses The American company Upexi published its financial report for the third quarter. The volume of Solana on the platform's balance sheet increased by 189,000 coins. As of March 31, Upexi's total reserves exceeded 2.2 million SOL. During the reporting period, the company increased its token holdings by 9% through purchases and rewards from staking. Quarterly revenue from digital assets was $3.5 million. However, the firm's net loss reached $109.3 million. Management attributed these figures to a revaluation of cryptocurrencies amounting to $92.3 million based on the market rate at the end of the period. Despite the paper losses, Upexi reduced its short-term debt by $7.6 million and repurchased 2.5 million of its own shares from the market. The workforce was optimized to 10 employees to lower operational costs. The company anticipates that by July, income from Solana staking will fully cover expenses and interest payments. Upexi CEO Allan Marshall emphasized that the strategy of accumulating the "people's cryptocurrency" remains a priority. According to him, Solana's high performance and institutional recognition will help create long-term value for shareholders. Earlier, MARA's quarterly loss amounted to $1.3 billion (compared to $533 million a year earlier).
