According to FinanceFeeds, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has issued a warning that scammers are defrauding retail investors via messaging apps such as WhatsApp and fake cryptocurrency trading platforms. Scammers typically begin by posting investment advice on social media to lure users into messaging groups disguised as reputable financial professionals or trading communities, then encourage them to deposit funds into fraudulent platforms. These platforms simulate profits using fabricated trading data; when users attempt to withdraw funds, they are charged additional “unlocking fees,” and all money flows directly into the scammers’ accounts. Moreover, scammers are targeting investors who have already suffered losses by promoting fake “funds recovery services” — a form of secondary fraud. According to MoneySmart survey data, 23% of Australians aged 18–28 hold crypto assets; 72% of Generation Z respondents have seen crypto-related advertisements on social media; and 41% have been directly solicited to invest in cryptocurrencies—indicating significantly elevated risk exposure among younger demographics. ASIC advises investors to avoid trusting investment advice from social media and recommends verifying a platform’s regulatory compliance through the AUSTRAC Register of Digital Currency Exchange Providers.

Wintermute stated that, as of May 25, BTC was trading at approximately $76,600 (down 1.5% weekly), while ETH traded at around $2,140 (down 1.7% weekly). Meanwhile, the U.S. equity market’s S&P 500 Index hit a new all-time high during the same period—highlighting a pronounced divergence between crypto and equities. BTC spot ETFs saw outflows of roughly $1.26 billion for the week, bringing cumulative outflows over two weeks to over $2 billion. Institutional buying—previously instrumental in driving BTC from $70,000 to $80,000—has clearly receded. The ETH/BTC ratio hit a fresh 10-month low, down 35% cumulatively from its August peak. On the macro front, the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index plunged to a historic low of 44.8, while the one-year inflation expectation rose to 4.8%. NVIDIA reported Q1 revenue growth of 85% year-on-year and issued a Q2 revenue guidance of $91 billion—but saw virtually no after-hours reaction, suggesting AI-related trades are already fully priced in. Wintermute noted that BTC’s key support currently lies between $75,000 and $76,000; holding this range could enable a retest of $80,000, whereas a break below would rapidly open the $70,000–$72,000 zone. The near-term direction hinges on whether institutional capital returns to the market.

According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin’s expected volatility has dropped to its lowest level in nine months. The Bitcoin Volmex Implied Volatility Index fell to 36.11 in Singapore on May 26—the lowest since September last year and near its lows since 2023. This index is derived from real-time crypto options prices and reflects the market’s expectation of Bitcoin’s volatility over the next 30 days. Analysts point to thin trading volumes combined with a continued outflow of speculative capital from Bitcoin as the primary drivers behind this decline in volatility.
the latest weekly report from CoinShares shows digital asset investment products recorded net outflows of $1.47 billion last week, marking the second consecutive week of negative growth and the third-largest single-week outflow of 2026. Cumulative outflows over the two weeks have reached $2.54 billion.By asset, Bitcoin saw outflows of $1.315 billion, the largest single-week outflow of 2026, compressing its year-to-date net inflows from $3.9 billion to $2.6 billion. Ethereum recorded outflows of $223 million, roughly flat compared to the previous week. Some altcoins still saw minor inflows, with XRP attracting $31.8 million, Near $9 million, and Solana $7.7 million.By region, the United States dominated the outflow landscape with $1.425 billion in single-week outflows. Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong recorded outflows of $16.2 million, $12.5 million, and $12.2 million respectively, indicating that risk aversion sentiment, which was localized last week, has now spread to most regions globally. CoinShares notes that these outflows are closely linked to heightened geopolitical risks related to Iran. Despite the ongoing legislative progress of the CLARITY Act, market risk aversion continues to deepen.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that BIT's chart of the day indicates that the key to market analysis often lies in identifying the core factors driving asset price movements and observing when these factors begin to change.For Bitcoin, the sustained upward trend over the past period has largely depended on the shifting dynamic between institutional demand and market supply. Over the past year, spot Bitcoin ETFs and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) have been important sources of this demand.When ETF inflows accelerate and Strategy continues to increase its Bitcoin holdings, Bitcoin prices typically rise. Currently, the combined net purchases of ETFs and Strategy have fallen to just $870 million, primarily due to significant capital outflows from ETFs, which have shifted from net buying to net selling.Until ETF inflows stabilize and recover, Bitcoin may continue to oscillate and consolidate in the short term.

However, the market failed to stabilize at this accumulation level; price continued falling and breached the address’s liquidation price, resulting in a loss of approximately $86,000.
