Hyperliquid has recently significantly outperformed the broader market. Its token, HYPE, hit an all-time high following the launch of two related ETFs in the United States. Meanwhile, European traders are accelerating their migration to the platform due to restricted access to perpetual contracts on regulated exchanges. Market analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that with Hyperliquid's continued rally and renewed interest in AI-related crypto projects, signs of improving risk appetite are emerging in the altcoin market. Hyperliquid’s expansion into tokenized stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO assets is strengthening the on-chain asset tokenization trend. He suggested that if market sentiment continues to improve, HYPE’s price could target $100 or even higher.However, Michael van de Poppe also stressed that while Hyperliquid holds a short-term advantage, Solana offers greater long-term investment certainty, transitioning from a "speculative ecosystem" to institutional-grade infrastructure. In the AI track, he noted that NEAR Protocol and Bittensor remain significantly undervalued, citing a disconnect between their fundamental growth and valuations. He pointed out that NEAR’s revenue growth potential and Bittensor’s subnet expansion could support higher valuation ranges. Additionally, he indicated that the privacy sector retains long-term demand, but fully anonymous systems face regulatory pressure. The future is more likely to be dominated by zero-knowledge proofs and compliant privacy solutions.On the macro level, Michael van de Poppe highlighted that bond yields and central bank policies remain the core drivers of the crypto market, with changes in Japanese government bond yields potentially serving as a key barometer.

According to The Information, the U.S. crypto industry is building a tighter coordination network in Washington, D.C., focusing on advancing legislation for key issues—including stablecoin regulation, crypto market structure bills, and crypto ETFs—to accelerate regulatory legalization. The report notes that, against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s increasingly friendly stance toward crypto and growing congressional support, the industry is seeking to seize this window of opportunity to formally integrate crypto assets into the U.S. mainstream financial system. Entities such as Coinbase and a16z crypto are also continuously expanding their policy influence—through political donations, lobbying teams, and industry coalitions—to shift the regulatory framework from “crackdown” to “regulation and acceptance.”
the proposed U.S. crypto market structure bill, the "Clarity Act," could foster a new "Yield-as-a-Service" market in the crypto industry. It may also push the sector away from a passive "hold-to-earn" model toward an AI-driven compliant yield infrastructure.Currently, the core of the debate centers on Section 404 of the bill, which would prohibit Digital Asset Service Providers (DASPs) from directly offering yields solely based on users holding a specific digital asset. Joe Vollono believes this means the industry will shift from "Hold-to-Earn" to "Use-to-Earn," making the future market more reliant on active and compliant yield strategies.Joe Vollono, Chief Business Officer at STBL, stated that the bill could drive development in areas such as DeFi infrastructure, treasury management, collateral management, automated capital management, on-chain lending, and reward systems. AI is expected to become a crucial foundational layer for coordinating regulated capital flows.At this stage, the Clarity Act has passed the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. It is expected to move next to a full Senate vote, where it will be reconciled with the version from the Agriculture Committee. The market generally believes this bill could, for the first time, establish a complete regulatory framework for the U.S. digital asset market, clearly defining the regulatory boundaries between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for digital assets. This would pave the way for large institutional capital to enter the crypto market. (CoinDesk)

Odaily Odaily News: A recent report released by Gate Research Institute, titled "Research and Backtesting Analysis of BTC Trading Framework Based on Multi-Agent LLM," points out that compared to a single LLM directly generating trading signals, the Multi-Agent LLM architecture more closely mirrors the research and investment process of real financial institutions. By leveraging collaboration and debate among analysts, researchers, traders, and risk control teams, it enhances the transparency and risk control capabilities of trading decisions. The research, based on the TradingAgents framework, constructs an AI trading system applicable to the crypto scenario for the BTC market, introducing multiple agent roles such as technical analysis, news analysis, sentiment analysis, and macro/on-chain analysis.Using BTC/USDT 1-hour data, the study conducted historical backtesting of the TradingAgents-BTC strategy. The results show that the strategy achieved a total return of +20.25% during the testing period, significantly outperforming the Buy & Hold strategy's -7.89% over the same period. Furthermore, its maximum drawdown was controlled at -17.41%, lower than the Buy & Hold's -27.06%. The research suggests that during periods of consolidation and decline, the multi-agent framework can reduce some risk exposure through Sell/Underweight and Flat states, and re-enter long positions during market rebounds, thereby improving overall risk-adjusted returns.The report indicates that the Multi-Agent LLM framework shows certain application potential in crypto trading scenarios. However, the current backtesting period covers only about three months, and 1-hour level trading may still be affected by transaction fees, slippage, and signal latency. Future work requires further validation of the strategy's stability and generalization capabilities over longer historical periods, different market conditions, and across a wider range of asset classes.
According to Caixin Global, Tiger Brokers issued a statement clarifying that recent claims accusing the company of “refusing to cooperate with regulators” or “confronting regulators head-on” are entirely false. The company emphasized that regulatory compliance is the lifeline of its operations and stated that it will strictly adhere to guidance from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and other relevant regulatory authorities to implement rectifications in response to the latest regulatory requirements. Since 2023, Tiger Brokers has fully ceased opening accounts and conducting marketing activities for mainland Chinese users. As of the end of Q1 2026, mainland Chinese clients accounted for approximately 10% of the company’s total client assets. Meanwhile, its overseas client base and asset scale have grown steadily. The company will continue advancing its compliance efforts in a steady and orderly manner to safeguard client asset security.

A Uniswap governance proposal seeks to extend the protocol’s fee collection and burning infrastructure to BNB Chain and Polygon, and to complete the fee activation process on Celo—which previously failed due to a configuration error. The proposal includes: setting the V2 protocol fee recipient addresses on BNB Chain, Polygon, and Celo to TokenJar; and designating V3OpenFeeAdapter as the owner of the V3 Factory on the respective chains. Additionally, on Celo, the feeToSetter role and ownership of the V4 PoolManager will be transferred to CrossChainAccount. According to the proposal, fees collected on each chain will be aggregated into their respective TokenJars, then UNI tokens will be bridged cross-chain back to Ethereum Mainnet and sent to the burn address.

According to the ABA Banking Journal, on May 22, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) proposed new rules to establish Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and sanctions compliance standards for stablecoin issuers under its supervision. Under the proposal, such issuers would be required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) / countering the financing of terrorism (CFT), economic sanctions, and reporting requirements—including those issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The rule would also establish supervisory and enforcement provisions for AML/CFT programs consistent with FinCEN’s requirements. The public comment period is 60 days following publication of the proposal in the Federal Register.
According to Reuters, the European Central Bank (ECB) opposed a proposal to promote more euro-denominated stablecoins at a meeting of EU finance ministers, arguing that relaxing liquidity requirements for stablecoin issuers—or even granting them access to ECB funding—could undermine the stability of bank deposits, dampen bank lending, and complicate interest rate control. The proposal was put forward by Bruegel in its meeting document, aiming to expand the current market, which is dominated by U.S. dollar–denominated stablecoins. ECB President Christine Lagarde has previously taken a cautious stance toward euro stablecoins, favoring instead tokenized commercial bank deposit solutions. The report also notes that the EU is reviewing the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which entered into force in 2024, while the U.S. passed the more permissive GENIUS Act in 2025.
