GrandCroix and Ambient Network Announce Collaboration to Launch First Native DEX for DePIN Ecosystem in Q2 2026

BitcoinWorld GrandCroix and Ambient Network Announce Collaboration to Launch First Native DEX for DePIN Ecosystem in Q2 2026 The partnership will introduce a purpose-built decentralized exchange, native cross-chain bridge, and liquidity infrastructure for Ambient ecosystem Miami, FL, USA GrandCroix, a Miami-based new generation of mining company for decentralized AI networks, announces a strategic collaboration with Ambient Network, to launch the first native decentralized exchange (DEX) for the Ambient ecosystem in Q2 2026. The platform will ship with a full DeFi stack from day one – including an automated market maker (AMM), cross-chain bridging, and built-in liquidity tools – designed specifically for Ambient.xyz Ambient is an SVM-compatible PoW L1 that will serve as a cornerstone of the agentic economy, unleashing Asimov-ian intelligence on chain. It is 10x more efficient than incumbent crypto AI systems, and features: Fully verified Inference with 10x better training performance than existing approaches Extremely high utilization of miners due to optimization on a single model for inference and validation A non-blocking proof of work consensus that foregrounds economic competition around the core activities of the network (inference, fine tuning, training) while maintaining extraordinary TPS . Participants earning Ambient token rewards have no native trading venue, limited cross-chain access, and no way to provide liquidity or earn yield within the ecosystem they’re helping build. To close all three gaps, GrandCroix is building a vertically integrated DeFi platform – not just a swap interface – engineered for the specific needs of DePIN participants. Built on Ambient and scheduled to go live in Q2 2026, the platform will launch with: AMM Swap Engine – Optimized for $AMB and core trading pairs (SOL, USDC, USDT), with support for concentrated liquidity positions. Native Cross-Chain Bridge – Integrated bridge enabling $AMB transfers between Solana and EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum) from day one, with no third-party bridge required. Liquidity Positioning Dashboard – Tools for liquidity providers to set price ranges, monitor performance, and manage positions. Designed to be accessible to sensor operators, not just DeFi power users. Rather than bolting together fragmented third-party tools, the platform delivers a unified on-chain experience tailored to the people actually participating in the network. The timing reflects a structural shift: as DePIN ecosystems mature beyond hardware deployment into data monetization and token utility, they need native financial infrastructure to sustain growth. Without it, value leaks to centralized intermediaries and cross-chain friction discourages participation. Ambient’s institutional backing from a16z crypto and Delphi Ventures – signals that the network is ready for this layer. “Every blockchain needs a financial layer to enable builders to build on top of it and support its growth,” said Nour De Vos, Founder & CEO of GrandCroix. “Our collaboration with Ambient is about building that missing layer – so participants can not just contribute data, but actively participate in the ecosystem’s economic growth by building apps.” Liquidity Strategy GrandCroix will seed initial liquidity from its own treasury and mining operations, providing day-one trading depth across core pairs. Ambient will also provide additional liquidity to the dex funded t will support early liquidity growth. Roadmap Q2 2026 – AMM, Bridge, and LP Dashboard live on Solana mainnet Q3 2026 – Additional bridge chains, limit orders, and programmatic trading API Q4 2026 – Community governance launch with on-chain voting for fee parameters and new pair listings For Media Inquiries, contact [email protected] About GrandCroix GrandCroix is a decentralized AI and DeFi infrastructure company headquartered in Miami, Florida, and a division of Group NDV.

Here’s why the XRP price correction is not over

XRP price has been trapped in a falling trend year-to-date (YTD), and on-chain data analysis signals further weakness in the near term. YTD XRP price has declined over 25% to trade at about $1.37 on April 30. Since early February 2026, the token has oscillated around $1.40, with an upper limit of roughly $1.50. XRP/USD YTD chart. Source: Finbold As such, the altcoin’s market capitalization has declined to approximately $84.7 billion at press time. Despite the robust fundamentals for XRP Ledger (XRPL), as Finbold previously pointed out , the token has struggled to rally beyond its multi-week strong supply wall near $1.50. The primary reason why the token failed to maintain bullish momentum in the past was due to low demand from whale investors YTD, led by spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as Finbold reported . Two main reasons XRP price could fall further in the near term The near-term outlook for XRP leans heavily toward bearishness due to rising distribution among whales. Since early February 2026, the 365-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) for XRPL whale-to-exchange transactions has spiked to an all-time high (ATH) above 5,500 as of reporting time, according to data from CryptoQuant . XRPL whale to Binance transactions. Source: CyptoQuant With XRPL whale-to-exchange transactions over the past 1 year hitting an ATH, it is evident that large XRP holders have been distributing the token for an extended period, thereby weighing on potential bullish sentiment. XRPL Funding Rates on Binance. Source: CryptoQuant Meanwhile, Binance’s XRPL Funding Rates – periodic payments between longs and shorts in perpetual futures to keep the contract price aligned with spot price – recently turned positive, based on metrics from CryptoQuant . As a result, the derivative traders have leaned largely toward bullish, which could trigger a long squeeze – a rapid price drop that forces leveraged long positions to close open trades and accelerates the selloff. The combination of rising whale distribution and renewed long traders is a catalyst for a strong long squeeze. ​ The post Here’s why the XRP price correction is not over appeared first on Finbold .

Solana lands Shinhan deal as $80 dip tests bullish momentum

Solana price is holding steady near $83 as bulls show resilience amid a broader cryptocurrency market bounce from Wednesday's slight dip. The token is down 2% in the past 24 hours, but could positive momentum, coinciding with major news, lift SOL? Solana traded around $83.39 at the time of writing on Thursday, with daily volume 39% at over $4.6 billion. Shinhan Card, Solana team up on stablecoin payments A series of positive integration and partnership moves includes South Korean financial giant Shinhan Card’s collaboration with the Solana Foundation to advance stablecoin payments on the high-speed blockchain. Shinhan Card and the Solana Foundation have signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) as the South Korean card giant looks to tap into stablecoin payments. https://twitter.com/solana/status/2049741676693049672 According to an announcement, this partnership builds on a successful proof-of-concept (PoC) completed last year and paves the way for an advanced PoC later this year. Integration will see Shinhan leverage Solana’s high-performance blockchain infrastructure for real-world payments between customers and merchants. Shinhan also aims to integrate non-custodial wallets and hybrid finance models, combining traditional finance with decentralized finance for regulatory-compliant, secure transactions. It’s worth noting that this development arrives a day after Visa expanded its own stablecoin settlement pilot to nine blockchains, including Polygon, Base, and Canton Network. The project already taps into Solana and adds to the acceleration in stablecoin adoption, particularly amid improving global regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, Meta has added support for USDC payments on Solana, targeting creators in Colombia and the Philippines. These moves scale adoption. Solana price outlook The SOL token peaked at $88 on April 26 before retracing alongside Bitcoin amid macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds. The pullback to around $80 came as BTC dropped to under $75,000 after the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady. Losses across risk assets also mirrored souring sentiment as oil prices soared to above $120 per barrel after President Trump said he did not mind an extended US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin is back above $76,000 while SOL is testing $84. Solana price chart by TradingView Before this downturn, Santiment analysts had noted that Bitcoin and Solana led the market in terms of coins with “the highest level of FOMO across X, Reddit, Telegram.” This outlook has persisted since late 2025, with 2.98 bullish SOL comments for every single bearish comment. However, analysts say that “prices move opposite to the crowd's expectations,” and retail optimism may signal fresh selling. Notably, risk appetite can flip quickly if upside momentum fades fast. Technically, SOL faces bearish pressure of a long-term downtrend, with a breakdown targeting $73 next if support at $80 fails. Prices crashed to lows of $67 in February. Currently, the 50-day EMA near $86 serves as a pivotal hurdle, and a rebound above this could spark bullish momentum towards $100.
