Prediction market pricing shows expectations for Fed rate cuts before 2027 have significantly cooled
pricing on the Kalshi prediction market indicates the market currently sees only about a 50% probability of a Fed rate cut before 2027, a sharp decline from the 80-90% probability seen earlier this year. As the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) convenes, the market is effectively pricing in a "higher for longer" interest rate environment, reflecting a lack of confidence in near-term monetary policy easing.

BlackRock's IBIT Options Open Interest Surpasses Deribit for the First Time, Accelerating Bitcoin's Institutionalization Process
the open interest (OI) for options on the Bitcoin spot ETF, IBIT, issued by BlackRock, rose to $27.61 billion on Friday, surpassing the $26.9 billion in the Bitcoin options market on the crypto derivatives platform Deribit for the first time.According to Volmex data, the call options holdings in IBIT are primarily betting that the Bitcoin price will rise to $109,709 in the short term, approximately 41% higher than the current level of around $77,400. Meanwhile, the Deribit market mainly expects Bitcoin to rise to about $106,000.

UK FCA Consults on Scope of Crypto Regulation; New Regime to Open for Applications as Early as September 2026
According to The Block, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published a new consultation paper seeking feedback on how to bring digital asset activities—including stablecoin issuance, trading platforms, custody, and staking—under regulatory oversight. The consultation period ends on 3 June 2026. Crypto firms will be able to begin applying for FCA authorization as early as 30 September 2026, and the new regulatory regime is expected to officially take effect in 2027. The FCA stated that, prior to the new regime coming into force, crypto assets are largely unregulated in the UK—except for financial promotions and anti-financial crime oversight. Industry insiders note that the UK’s progress on crypto regulation clearly lags behind Europe, which has already established a comprehensive enforcement framework; however, some practitioners view the FCA’s systematic, phased implementation approach positively.

Analyst: $80,000 is the first effective resistance level for BTC. If it breaks $82,000, it could enter an amplified volatility range.
crypto analyst Murphy posted on platform X, stating that by combining three sets of data (Options Gamma Exposure, Options Open Interest by Strike Price, Options ATM Implied Volatility), the impact on BTC from an options perspective is as follows: $80,000 is the first effective resistance level above BTC’s current price. This level simultaneously features high Call OI, positive Gamma, and low IV. When the price pushes upward from this point, market makers' dynamic hedging tends to create selling pressure; the lower the IV, the higher the marginal sensitivity of market makers' hedging adjustments. Therefore, the thickness of this wall (OI of 7,200 BTC + the magnitude of positive Gamma) makes $80,000 a "tough nut to crack" in May. Once it breaks through and approaches $82,000, due to the presence of a larger scale of negative Gamma (OI of 4,644 BTC) at this level, the market could quickly shift from being suppressed to an "amplified volatility" mode.
Analysis: ETH Open Interest Rises to $2.54 Billion Amid Continued Institutional Accumulation, Yet Derivatives Sentiment Remains Cautious
According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum’s price has stabilized above $2,300 following a recent rebound, while ETH futures open interest has risen to $2.54 billion—indicating growing demand for leveraged positions. Meanwhile, U.S.-listed spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows of $248 million over the past 10 days, and Bitmine Immersion disclosed its purchase of $312 million worth of ETH. However, ETH perpetual contract funding rates have failed to sustain levels above 5% and have repeatedly dipped below zero—suggesting limited market confidence in this rally. Additionally, weekly DApp revenue on Ethereum has declined from $24 million in early February to $11 million, with weakening network activity and intensifying competition among public blockchains potentially continuing to weigh on ETH’s price trajectory.
OpenClaw Maintainer Responds to Negative Controversy: Upholding Neutral Open Source, Not for Profit or Pumping
Odaily News Open source AI agent project OpenClaw maintainer Onur Solmaz publicly posted a strong response to various external negative controversies. He stated that the project has been continuously subjected to public opinion attacks, with the core reason being that OpenClaw adheres to a neutral public welfare nature, does not participate in token pumping, does not pursue commercial profits, differentiating itself from profit-driven AI agent products in the industry.The project maintains neutrality in both industry and geopolitics. It is precisely because its own development has touched upon the interests of peers that it has been deliberately smeared. Meanwhile, the official team refuted various accusations one by one, including being bloated, lacking security, and being acquired by OpenAI. They also introduced facts such as architectural optimization, rapid vulnerability fixes, and the team's unpaid open-source operation and maintenance. The project is defined as the people's AI, calling on the community to jointly build an open-source AI ecosystem.

DeepSeek-V4 Preview Version Officially Launched and Open-Sourced
The DeepSeek-V4, a new model series from DeepSeek, is officially launched today in preview form and simultaneously open-sourced. The series comprises two variants: - **DeepSeek-V4-Pro**, whose performance rivals top-tier closed-source models and leads the open-source domain in agent capabilities, world knowledge, and mathematical/coding reasoning; - **DeepSeek-V4-Flash**, which features a smaller parameter count and delivers faster, more cost-efficient API services. Both models support a 1M (million-token) ultra-long context window and operate in both non-thinking and thinking modes. Technically, DeepSeek-V4 introduces a novel attention mechanism—combining DSA (Dynamic Sparse Attention)—to achieve globally leading long-context capability while significantly reducing computational and GPU memory requirements. For API usage, the `model` parameter accepts `deepseek-v4-pro` and `deepseek-v4-flash`. The legacy model names `deepseek-chat` and `deepseek-reasoner` will be deprecated on July 24, 2026.
