Long-Time Analyst Changes Strategy on Altcoins: Sold Most Altcoins, Bought These
Renowned cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe announced significant changes to his altcoin portfolio. He updated his strategy in response to new market data, he shared on social media.
While assessing recent market developments, the analyst highlighted the increasing volumes in Binance listings and BNB's new high. He also noted the growing strength of decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges (DEXs) and stablecoin-focused projects.
Announcing the changes in his portfolio, Van de Poppe stated that he made the following moves:
- He sold his position in Celestia (TIA) at $5,208 and bought EigenLayer (EIGEN) at $1,730.
- He sold his Rocket Pool (RPL) position and moved towards Wormhole (W) and Renzo (REZ).
The analyst said that EIGEN remains firmly above its 20-week moving average, while W and REZ have significant upside potential in the coming period.
Van de Poppe stated that small-scale altcoins have performed better in his portfolio recently, arguing that projects such as WOO, W, REZ and PEAQ stand out, while some altcoins such as RPL and TIA have an opportunity cost.

VIPClarity Act Advances, Opening a Major Growth Opportunity for the RWA Sector
1. Clarity Act advances, opening a major growth opportunity for the RWA sector. The U.S. stablecoin regulatory bill made meaningful progress this week. As the compliance framework becomes clearer, institutional barriers for bringing traditional assets on-chain are being significantly reduced. RWA active market cap has reached $26.5B, covering 171 issuers, and the sector has entered an exponential growth phase since the second half of 2025. 2. OpenAI and SpaceX standing as key names to watch. preSPAX is up 32.7% after 27 days of trading, while preOPAI is up 18.6% just three days after launch, standing out against BTC's 4.8% decline over the same period. OpenAI's annualized revenue has surpassed $10B, while SpaceX's recent stock split has been seen as part of its IPO preparations. Both assets are backed by some of the world's fastest-growing private companies, and PreIPO offers a lower-cost window for early participation. 3. A strong dollar and rising energy prices drove markets this week, with crypto pulling back across the board despite improving underlying conditions. BTC fell 4.8% to $78,200, natural gas led gains at +7.4%, and the DXY rose 1.5%, weighing on non-USD assets. However, the global liquidity Z-score has turned positive, rising from negative territory to +0.15. This suggests the pullback was driven by short-term dollar strength rather than a deterioration in liquidity. The FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday, May 20, will be the key turning point to watch next week. Assets to watch: ONDO / CFG / SKY (RWA), preSPAX / preOPAI (PreIPO), USOUSD (crude oil CFD), NVDA (earnings on May 20)
