Monerujo has released a new beta version with easier transferring between phones.

Monero’s CCS-funded atomic swaps project, Farcaster, has released their April report.

Namely covers more content (such as popular memes and images), and is on Medium. If you want a less news-focused and more community-centered look at Monero (though they do have news) then check them out.

Haveno, the Bisq fork that has Monero as a base currency, now has two sponsors, Samourai Wallet and Cake Wallet.

Kraken now allows for small XMR purchases via ACH so users don’t have to wait several days for a wire transfer to go through.
