According to The Block, Strategy disclosed in SEC filings that it sold 32 BTC between May 26 and 31, cashing out approximately $2.5 million to pay for preferred stock dividends, marking the company's first sale of Bitcoin since December 2022.This disclosure has sparked controversy over a prediction pool on Polymarket with a trading volume exceeding $20 million—where the market bets on whether Strategy will sell Bitcoin before May 31. The crux of the dispute lies in: supporters of "yes" argue that the sale occurred before the deadline; supporters of "no" contend that the information had not been publicly disclosed by the time the market closed and should not be counted.The market is currently in the final review stage, with Polymarket adding that "results confirmed after the deadline will not be recognized," leaning towards supporting the "no" side. If the dispute escalates further, it will be decided by a vote of UMA token holders, but previous reports have indicated that UMA voting power is highly concentrated, with over 60% of active voters having ties to Polymarket accounts, raising questions about its fairness.

On-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr stated in a recent report that the Bitcoin market has entered a significant volatility compression phase. The realized volatility over the past week (30-day moving average) has dropped from about 39 in early March this year to the current level of around 17, with a quarterly decline of over 56%, approaching historical low levels. Currently, the BTC price remains around $73,500, still below the approximately $79,500 200-day moving average. Historical experience shows that extremely low volatility often indicates that the market is accumulating energy, typically followed by a significant directional trend. However, volatility compression itself does not provide directional signals; it merely indicates that the market is about to make a new trend choice.Meanwhile, the Delta indicator, which reflects changes in market premiums (the difference between market capitalization growth rate and realized market capitalization growth rate), has been in negative territory for six consecutive months, further dropping to about -0.0013 in May. This indicator suggests that the growth rate of Bitcoin's market capitalization continues to lag behind the growth rate of realized market capitalization, indicating a contraction in market risk appetite and valuation premium.The current market exhibits a combination of "low volatility + cooling premiums," which is not a typical overheated bull market structure but rather resembles a consolidation phase after emotional cooling. If BTC subsequently returns above the 200-day moving average, and Delta rebounds to near zero, it will indicate that the market has re-entered a risk appetite expansion cycle; conversely, if volatility releases downward and Delta continues to deteriorate, it may enter a deeper risk-averse phase.In summary, Axel Adler Jr stated that the current market direction remains neutral, but the degree of compression is at a high level, and the probability of significant directional volatility in the future is continuously increasing.

In the latest report titled "Tokenization 2030: Wall Street On-Chain" released by Citigroup, it is estimated that the market size for tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) will grow from the current approximately $17 billion to $5.5 trillion by 2030. Depending on different adoption speed scenarios, the market size range may be between $2.7 trillion and $8.2 trillion.The report predicts that by 2030, approximately 10% of the U.S. short-term treasury market and 3% of the public equity market will be tokenized. At the same time, the expansion of the stablecoin market may bring about $1 trillion in new demand for U.S. treasuries; if 10% of U.S. retail investors shift to digital trading platforms, it is expected to create approximately $2.6 trillion in digital equity demand.Citigroup believes that as traditional financial assets gradually move on-chain, tokenization is expected to become an important bridge connecting Wall Street with blockchain infrastructure and drive the digital transformation of global capital markets.
