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.
According to The Block, Bitcoin continued trading below $78,000 on Monday, following net outflows of $1.26 billion from spot Bitcoin ETFs during the week of May 18–22—the second consecutive week of outflows exceeding $1 billion. Nevertheless, Timothy Misir, Research Head at BRN, noted that institutional demand has not vanished but is rotating: during the same period, the XRP ETF attracted $22 million in inflows, the Solana ETF drew $16 million, the newly launched Hyperliquid HYPE ETF garnered $72 million, while the Ethereum ETF saw outflows of $216 million. Ethereum also faced pressure due to the SEC’s delay of its tokenized stock trading initiative, though it posted a modest rebound on Sunday amid heightened optimism surrounding the Iran deal. On the options front, for Bitcoin expiring on May 29, the largest open interest concentrations were at the $75,000 put and $80,000 call strikes; for Ethereum, the largest open interest concentration was at the $2,100 put strike. On the macro front, U.S. and European markets were closed for public holidays, and analysts warned of low market liquidity. Should the Iran deal materialize, it could trigger a sharp drop in oil prices and push equity markets to new highs.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), SlowMist’s threat intelligence system MistEye has detected a cross-registry supply chain attack targeting developers. Malicious packages have spread across three major registries—npm, PyPI, and Crates.io—comprising over 34 malicious packages and more than 384 related versions. The attack targets developer communities in cryptocurrency, DeFi, Solana, Sui/Move, and AI. It may lead to the theft of cryptocurrency wallets, SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub/AWS tokens, browser data, and other sensitive developer information. Some malicious payloads also attempt persistence via mechanisms including `.cursorrules`, `CLAUDE.md`, Git hooks, cron, systemd, and SSH. SlowMist recommends immediately removing affected packages, isolating compromised systems, rotating exposed credentials, rebuilding CI environments and developer machines from clean images, and conducting comprehensive reviews of GitHub, cloud, SSH, and wallet-related activities.
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 Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, Morgan Stanley submitted a revised application for a Solana ETF this morning, proposing the ticker symbol “MSOL”; the management fee has not yet been disclosed.
the spot ETF product associated with Hyperliquid recorded approximately $22.3 million in net inflows during its first week of trading. Market analysts believe this reflects strong institutional demand and the expansion of the on-chain derivatives ecosystem. Data shows that Hyperliquid currently captures over 42% of the fee share in the on-chain derivatives market, significantly ahead of the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems. Analysts suggest that the token (HYPE) buyback and burn mechanism further amplifies the transmission effect of ETF fund flows on price. (The Block)Previously reported, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that the continued rise in THYP trading volume is "a positive signal of increasing organic demand" and noted that Hyperliquid's high fee revenue may be a key factor attracting investor attention.
