Investment bank TD Cowen's Washington research team managing director Jaret Seiberg released a report on Tuesday stating that the political environment surrounding the CLARITY Act is continuing to deteriorate, and the likelihood of this cryptocurrency market structure bill passing this year is decreasing. Seiberg pointed out that recent controversies involving President Trump make it difficult for Democrats to support the bill without a conflict of interest clause.Seiberg indicated that these events have increased pressure on Democrats to include a conflict of interest clause targeting the president, while also making Republicans reluctant to push legislation that could force them to vote against related amendments. He anticipates that lawmakers may choose to wait and see, but there is limited room for further delays given the upcoming midterm elections. He previously mentioned that the legislative window could extend until the August recess, and if not resolved this year, the passage time could be pushed back to 2027.

a16z crypto pointed out that not all tokenized assets are fully utilized on-chain. Bonds are currently the largest category of tokenized assets, with a market value of $15.2 billion, but only about 5% of the supply is used for DeFi; precious metals are similar, having been tokenized but mostly idle.In contrast, smaller categories perform differently: reinsurance tokens have 84% of their supply deployed in DeFi, while private credit stands at 33%. a16z believes this makes sense, as the categories with the highest DeFi usage were built for DeFi from the start, such as Nexus Mutual and Maple Finance.a16z noted that many practices currently referred to as tokenization are actually closer to digitization, meaning that records are moved onto the blockchain but do not unlock more new features, while one of the core value propositions of on-chain financial systems is composability.

According to Cryptopolitan, the Council of Ministers and the National Bank of Belarus have passed a resolution to include cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin) in the list of eligible underlying assets for non-deliverable over-the-counter financial instruments, which takes effect today.Non-deliverable OTC instruments are direct contracts between market participants that do not involve the actual delivery of the underlying asset, with both parties settling the price difference in cash at maturity. This move is expected to further integrate cryptocurrencies into Belarus's traditional financial system, creating new investment opportunities.

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated on social media that it is crucial to maintain the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over prediction markets. He mentioned that prediction markets must be allowed to thrive and that "road rules" are being developed to become the gold standard for states. He emphasized that other countries are competing for this new type of financial market, and the U.S. must maintain its leading position and protect the global cryptocurrency industry.

The Digital Chamber, a cryptocurrency industry organization, responded to Senator Elizabeth Warren's concerns regarding the recent approval of national trust charters by the OCC, stating that her claims about cryptocurrency companies being "improperly approved" are unfounded.Previously, Warren wrote to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), stating that the recent approvals granted to digital asset companies such as Ripple, Circle, Paxos, Fidelity, BitGo, and Coinbase may violate the National Bank Act and have not adhered to the same regulatory standards as traditional banks.The Digital Chamber stated that the OCC has the authority to grant national trust charters to qualified institutions, and that these arrangements do not equate to a relaxation of regulation. The organization represents over 250 cryptocurrency-related entities and believes that these charters help to integrate digital asset services into a clearer federal regulatory framework.

Wintermute stated that the macro environment improved significantly last week, with Brent crude oil dropping 9% due to easing tensions in Iran, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield falling to 4.5%, and U.S. stocks rising for the eighth consecutive week to reach a historic high, alleviating inflationary pressures driven by energy.However, consumer-level concerns have not dissipated, as the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index fell to a historic low of 44.8, and one-year inflation expectations rose to 4.8%. Meanwhile, the manufacturing PMI for May reached a four-year high, with input costs rising to their highest level since 2022, indicating a resurgence in commodity inflation.The minutes from the Federal Reserve's April meeting also signaled that "if inflation remains stubborn, further tightening of policy may occur," and the market has not fully priced in the hawkish expectations. In the tech sector, Nvidia reported "explosive" earnings: Q1 revenue reached $81.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 85%, with data center business growth of 92%, and announced a $80 billion buyback and a 25-fold increase in dividends.More critically, its Q2 guidance has already assumed zero revenue from Chinese data centers, indicating stronger actual AI demand. However, the market reacted unusually coldly, with after-hours stock prices barely moving, reflecting that AI trading has entered a "perfect pricing" phase, where simply exceeding expectations is no longer enough to drive the market.This serves as an important warning for risk assets, including the crypto market—if AI momentum weakens, weak consumption, sticky inflation, and a potentially hawkish Federal Reserve will re-dominate market narratives. Compared to the strength of U.S. stocks, the crypto market has clearly lagged. BTC hovers around $76,000, and ETH has fallen to $2,140, neither following the rise of risk assets.In the past two weeks, over $2 billion has flowed out of BTC spot ETFs, with institutional funds noticeably cooling, and marginal risk appetite has shifted back to AI stocks rather than crypto assets. The ETH/BTC exchange rate continues to weaken, hitting a new 10-month low, while the few assets that have remained strong against the trend are HYPE, which saw a single-day ETF inflow record of $25.5 million and signs of large institutional wallets continuously accumulating.The current market structure has not completely deteriorated; long-term holders are still increasing their positions, and trading platform reserves remain low, but the capital flow that determines short-term prices is turning negative. The key support level for BTC is currently between $75,000 and $76,000; if it falls below this range, the market may quickly test the $70,000 to $72,000 area; if it holds, there is still a chance to challenge $80,000 again.

According to Gate Ventures' latest weekly report, there has been a significant style shift in global stock markets, with funds rotating from growth sectors to value and defensive assets. The Dow Jones Index rose by 2.22%, and labor market data remains resilient. Macroeconomic indicators show a divergence, with the composite PMI preliminary value rising to a two-year high of 54.4, but input cost pressures still exist. Coupled with the ongoing impact of high interest rates on real estate activity, the economy overall presents a structural state of coexistence between expansion and pressure. The cryptocurrency market has slightly retreated, with BTC down 0.5% and ETH down 1.6%; the total market capitalization declined by 0.4%, remaining flat compared to last week, and market sentiment is in a moderate recovery phase.At the asset and industry level, the top 30 assets averaged a rise of 4.2%, with HYPE and ZEC leading the performance, influenced by factors such as ecosystem expansion, liquidity improvement, and easing regulatory uncertainty. In terms of industry dynamics, on-chain infrastructure and the compliance process continue to advance, with active financing and product iteration in areas such as prediction markets, on-chain derivatives, and payment networks. In terms of investment and financing, a total of 24 transactions were completed last week, disclosing a total financing amount of approximately $532.6 million, with infrastructure and DeFi being the main sectors of flow, and Kalshi securing a single financing of $200 million.Additionally, Variational completed a $50 million Series A financing, AEON completed $8 million in pre-seed financing, while infrastructure and social blocks recorded 12 and 6 transactions, respectively. Overall, against the backdrop of macro volatility and market divergence, capital allocation continues to trend towards long-term infrastructure and real application scenarios.

According to a report by Reuters citing the German newspaper Handelsblatt, the European Union is planning to impose fines in the hundreds of millions of euros on Google's parent company Alphabet in response to its alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Sources indicate that a related decision is nearing completion and is expected to be announced before the summer recess, potentially becoming the largest fine issued by the EU under the DMA.The investigation officially began in March 2025, focusing on whether Google prioritizes its own services in search results, thereby harming fair competition in the market. The European Commission stated that its primary goal is to ensure corporate compliance rather than simply imposing penalties, but if the corrective measures do not meet regulatory requirements, enforcement procedures will continue. Google responded that the adjustments made to its search products in accordance with DMA requirements have significantly impacted user experience and expressed a desire to reach a resolution with regulators.

According to BBX data, corporate Bitcoin reserves are under pressure, intertwined with the continuous outflow of ETF funds, leading to an overall cautious sentiment in crypto concept stocks. The core dynamics are as follows:Trump Media & Technology Group, Corp. (NASDAQ: $DJT) transferred 2,650 BTC (approximately $205 million) to a Crypto.com exchange address on May 22. The company's official statement described this as a "transfer rather than a sale," part of an expanded trading strategy, but the actual disposal method remains to be confirmed as of the report deadline. On-chain data shows that the funds have arrived at the Crypto.com exchange address. Previously, the company transferred 2,000 BTC (approximately $175 million) to Crypto.com about four months ago. The Q1 2026 financial report (May 9, CoinDesk) indicates that as of March 31, the company held 9,542.16 BTC (with a fair value of $647.1 million, and a purchase cost of approximately $1.13 billion); after this transfer of 2,650 BTC, Arkham's on-chain estimate of the remaining holdings is about 6,889 BTC (approximately $532 million). The Q1 financial report also disclosed a net loss of $405.9 million (compared to a loss of $31.7 million in the same period last year) and revenue of only $871,200. The company originally purchased 11,542 BTC at an average price of about $118,522, with a total purchase cost of approximately $1.37 billion, and the current holdings are still significantly discounted compared to the cost; during the same period, the company withdrew its ETF applications for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana from Truth Social.The U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF recorded over $2.26 billion in net outflows in the two weeks ending May 23, ending a streak of seven consecutive weeks of net inflows. During this period, Bitcoin fell from about $82,500 (the recent high on May 6) to $74,305 (on May 23), a decline of about 10%, marking the lowest point since April 20. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: $IBIT) under BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: $BLK) has seen its holdings decrease from a peak of about 812,000 BTC to about 800,000 BTC, still accounting for approximately 62% of total assets in U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs. CoinDesk analysts attribute this round of outflows to high U.S. Treasury yields (with the 10-year yield touching 5.01%) and systemic deleveraging driven by geopolitical pressures, rather than a weakening belief in Bitcoin's long-term logic.

According to BIT analysis, during the bull market from 2020 to 2021, smart contract platforms were widely expected to reshape some of the infrastructure and business processes in the traditional financial system. However, the high expectations did not materialize, and Ethereum's market share in the digital asset ecosystem has continued to decline. Currently, Ethereum's market share has once again fallen below 10%, shrinking by more than half compared to two years ago.This shows that ETH's relative position in the crypto market continues to decline. For investors with heavy ETH holdings, this trend is worth noting. The continuous decline in ETH's market share indicates that funds are flowing towards other narratives or ecosystems. If this trend continues, ETH may still face pressure and maintain a relatively weak position.
