According to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin Fear Index BVIV surged nearly 20% on Tuesday, marking the largest single-day increase since February 5. BVIV measures the 30-day implied volatility of Bitcoin, and this surge to 46.45% indicates that panic has re-emerged in the market after two months of calm.For the past two months, the sentiment in the Bitcoin market has remained calm, even as it fell from a May high of $82,000 to $75,000 last week, with BVIV hovering around 40%, the lowest point of the year, indicating that the decline at that time was orderly selling rather than panic. However, on Tuesday, the spot price of Bitcoin dropped over 6% to $66,000, causing BVIV to spike sharply. The index's trend increasingly resembles Wall Street's VIX Fear Index, showing an inverse correlation with the spot price of Bitcoin. Whether Tuesday's significant surge is just a one-day fluctuation or the beginning of a sustained volatility cycle remains to be seen.

According to Jinshi, the number of JOLTs job openings in the U.S. significantly increased in April, rising from 6,890,000 in March to 7,620,000, reaching the highest level in nearly two years. At the same time, the number of layoffs decreased to 1,690,000, indicating a strong labor market. Although the number of job openings is still below the levels seen during the pandemic reopening, this stability may weaken the rationale for interest rate cuts, and Federal Reserve officials are beginning to discuss the possibility of interest rate hikes.

According to Bits.media, a large illegal cryptocurrency mining operation was discovered in the city of Nizhny Tagil in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, and the nearby city of Kushva. The mining operation was hidden in an abandoned industrial park and deployed about 10,000 mining machines, which were dismantled by a joint operation of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the police, and the power company.Local power companies estimate that the losses caused by the long-term illegal electricity usage of this mining operation amount to nearly 1 billion rubles (approximately 12.7 million USD). Investigators stated that its electricity consumption was sufficient to meet the lighting needs of a small city. Law enforcement has arrested three suspects, who are currently under house arrest and are being investigated for "causing property damage through deception or abuse of trust." Under Russian law, those involved could face up to 5 years in prison.Investigations revealed that the operators of the mining site accessed the power grid through intermediaries and allegedly tampered with electricity meter data to cover up the actual electricity usage. Law enforcement agencies stated that the actual electricity consumption of the mining operation was about twice the approved quota. The local energy department initially launched an investigation due to frequent voltage fluctuations, power outages, and equipment failures in the abandoned factory area, ultimately pinpointing the location of the mining operation. A local television station also produced a documentary titled "Mining" to document this operation.

According to The Defiant, approximately $220 million of unfrozen funds from the Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge attack has been almost entirely laundered by hackers. On-chain analyst Arkham Intelligence tracking shows that only about $1.7 million remains in the original attacker's wallet. This hacker is linked to North Korea and previously launched a $292 million cross-chain bridge attack on LayerZero in April.Funds were transferred using privacy tools such as THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, and Umbra. The approximately $71 million in Ethereum frozen by the Arbitrum security council on April 20 is currently the only recoverable portion. A report released by LayerZero on May 18 attributed the attack to the North Korean group TraderTraitor. Kelp has recovered approximately 116,000 rsETH by migrating to Chainlink CCIP and the DeFi United program, while the Aave security module absorbed about $190 million in bad debt.

According to Bloomberg, the White House is reviewing early proposals from the U.S. SEC and CFTC regarding the re-examination of swaps and security swap reporting requirements, which are currently in the pre-rule stage. The two regulatory agencies plan to solicit public opinions before formally drafting regulatory details. The current reporting rules for swaps and security swaps in the U.S. are not unified, and some existing compliance exemption policies will expire in 2029.The International Swaps and Derivatives Association and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association jointly sent a letter last month urging regulators to unify the data reporting standards for the two types of products, while ICE Trade Vault LLC made a similar request. The CFTC stated that this work is being carried out jointly by the two agencies, and the SEC chairman has arranged for personnel to establish a unified reporting system during the industry conference in March. The new regulations will require two rounds of agency voting and public consultation before implementation.

Blockchain security company CertiK's latest data shows that in May 2026, losses in the crypto industry due to hacking, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and fraud amounted to approximately $68.3 million, a decrease of nearly 90% compared to over $650 million in losses in April, making it the third month this year with losses below $100 million.CertiK stated that approximately $2.6 million in losses during May came from phishing attacks. In contrast, in April, significant attacks on Drift Protocol and KelpDAO's infrastructure resulted in losses of approximately $285 million and $292 million, respectively, with these two incidents accounting for about 95% of the total losses for that month, making April one of the worst months for losses since March 2022.Despite the reduction in large-scale attacks at the protocol level, CertiK warns that risks such as phishing attacks, social engineering scams, deepfakes, and credential leaks continue to grow. Researchers point out that an increasing number of attackers are targeting employees, operational systems

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.

As of the time of writing, the market capitalization is reported to be approximately 650 million USD, with a 24-hour increase still holding at 26%. During the same period, the on-chain trading volume reached 18.4 million USD.It is reported that the brief surge in market capitalization to 700 million USD was mainly driven by a large concentrated purchase by a trader (0x82).

A white hat hacker using the alias "0xflorent" stated on X on Sunday that he has helped recover approximately 1,003 ETH (worth about $2 million) from a faulty smart contract of the Hong Coin (HONG) token sale in 2016, involving 48 investors.Hong Coin was originally designed as a community-operated decentralized venture capital fund, with the token sale starting on August 29, 2016, and ending on October 28 of the same year, but it failed to launch due to not reaching its funding goal. The contract was supposed to automatically refund investors, but a vulnerability in the refund function caused the funds to be locked for nearly a decade.0xflorent collaborated with the HONG creator to exploit an administrator function with an integer overflow vulnerability, resetting the token holders' balances and triggering the refund mechanism through specific inputs, successfully extracting the locked funds. According to Etherscan data, one investor has already received a refund of 96 ETH (approximately $192,500). Previously, on May 24, 0xflorent also recovered 19.33 ETH from another failed token sale project from 2018.
