ChainCatcher tin tức, theo CNBC đưa tin, đồng sáng lập GMO, nhà đầu tư tỷ phú Jeremy Grantham một lần nữa bày tỏ sự hoài nghi về Bitcoin, gọi nó là "tài sản đầu cơ vô dụng", và cho rằng cuối cùng nó có thể dần dần mất đi sự liên quan trên thị trường.Grantham cho biết, Bitcoin sẽ không kết thúc bằng cách đột ngột về không hoặc sụp đổ mạnh mẽ, mà có khả năng hơn là từ từ biến mất khỏi tầm nhìn thị trường trong vài năm hoặc thậm chí hàng chục năm tới. "Nó sẽ từ từ biến mất, không phải sụp đổ ầm ầm, mà là lặng lẽ biến mất."Ông cho rằng, Bitcoin thiếu giá trị nội tại, đồng thời cũng không chứng minh được mình là một công cụ lưu trữ giá trị đáng tin cậy. Grantham chỉ ra rằng, ngay cả trong những thời kỳ kinh tế vĩ mô hoạt động tốt, giá Bitcoin vẫn từng có sự điều chỉnh lớn, do đó khó có thể được coi là tài sản bảo toàn giá trị ổn định.So với đó, ông đề cập rằng vàng mặc dù cũng trải qua điều chỉnh giá, nhưng nhìn chung vẫn duy trì hiệu suất dài hạn tương đối ổn định.Ngoài ra, Grantham còn nghi ngờ về giá trị ứng dụng thực tế của Bitcoin, cho rằng nó chưa được sử dụng rộng rãi trong thanh toán hàng ngày hoặc các tình huống giao dịch thương mại, do đó thiếu tính ứng dụng rộng rãi trong thế giới thực.

ChainCatcher tin tức, theo báo cáo của CoinDesk, Giám đốc điều hành của công ty đầu tư bất động sản Cardone Capital, Grant Cardone, cho biết sẽ tận dụng cơ hội giá Bitcoin giảm gần đây để tiếp tục mua Bitcoin thông qua dòng tiền từ tài sản bất động sản của mình. Cardone Capital quản lý khoảng 5,3 tỷ USD tài sản, sử dụng phương pháp đầu tư định kỳ để mua Bitcoin bằng thu nhập từ tiền thuê, bất kể giá cao hay thấp. Cardone cho biết mô hình của mình "được lấy cảm hứng từ các công ty tài chính, nhưng dựa trên tài sản thực và dòng tiền thực", và cho biết công ty này là công ty kết hợp bất động sản-Bitcoin lớn nhất thế giới, không có nhà đầu tư tổ chức nào ảnh hưởng đến chiến lược của mình. Cardone Capital tính đến tháng 5 đã nắm giữ khoảng 200 triệu USD Bitcoin, bắt nguồn từ việc mua 1.000 BTC vào năm 2025 và các đợt tăng cường sau đó. Cardone dự đoán tỷ suất hoàn vốn hàng năm của cấu trúc kết hợp này sẽ nằm trong khoảng từ 22% đến 32%, nhưng dự đoán này vẫn chưa có hồ sơ hiệu suất hỗ trợ.

According to Decrypt, the Digital Chamber has written to OCC Director Jonathan Gould, urging him to stick to the decision to grant national trust bank charters to crypto companies like Coinbase, Ripple, and Circle.Previously, Senator Elizabeth Warren accused the approval of these charters of violating the National Bank Act and posing a threat to the safety of the U.S. banking system. The Digital Chamber countered that Congress has effectively authorized the OCC to extend bank charters to stablecoin businesses through the GENIUS Act, and that the approved companies do not accept FDIC-insured deposits, thus not constituting traditional banking operations.

On May 18, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) stating that the agency has improperly granted national trust charters to at least nine cryptocurrency companies since December 2025. Elizabeth Warren pointed out that the businesses these companies plan to engage in exceed the limited functions allowed by law for national trust banks, essentially attempting to circumvent the fundamental protections and obligations of banking through crypto banking. It is reported that the companies that have received or conditionally approved include Ripple, Circle, Paxos, Fidelity, BitGo, Coinbase, Stripe's subsidiary Bridge, and Crypto.com. The American Bankers Association urged the OCC in February to slow down the approval of related licenses, and Elizabeth Warren warned that this move would weaken consumer protections and pose regulatory arbitrage risks.

According to official news, Tether has launched a developer grant program that will reward developers with USDT or Bitcoin for building localized AI and payment infrastructure. There is no total grant cap for this program, and rewards will be issued based on technical tasks and deliverables, with current individual bonuses ranging from $1,500 to $4,000.This funding focuses on Tether's open-source technology stack, including wallet infrastructure, browser extensions, e-commerce integration, and particularly supports its local AI platform QVAC. Tether stated that QVAC can run AI inference directly on the device locally, without relying on cloud servers, to reduce latency, costs, and data exposure risks.In addition, Tether will also promote the development of its Wallet Development Kit (WDK) ecosystem. This tool allows developers to directly embed self-custody wallets within applications, enabling local key generation, transaction signing, and asset transfers without relying on custodial services or third-party APIs.Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that a significant amount of infrastructure still forces developers to rely on centralized platforms and data business models, and Tether hopes to fund systems that can "run locally, hold value directly, and have no external dependencies" to enter the market.

According to CoinDesk, billionaire real estate investor Grant Cardone stated at the Consensus Miami 2026 event that he has added $100 million in Bitcoin as part of his hybrid strategy combining Bitcoin with income-generating real estate.Cardone revealed that he previously purchased 1,000 BTC for Cardone Capital in 2025, and currently has a total Bitcoin exposure of about $200 million. He believes that this model of combining Bitcoin with real estate can challenge traditional real estate investment trusts (REITs), and this strategy does not involve putting real estate assets on the blockchain, but rather incorporating Bitcoin into the real estate investment structure.

According to CoinDesk, real estate investor Grant Cardone stated at the Consensus conference that his company has simultaneously increased its holdings of $100 million in Bitcoin to its corporate treasury as part of a $235 million real estate acquisition.Cardone indicated that this latest allocation is an addition to an earlier Bitcoin purchase made in 2025. At that time, Cardone Capital incorporated 1,000 Bitcoins into its balance sheet, with that position valued slightly above $100 million, bringing the company's total Bitcoin exposure to about $200 million. He believes that this combination strategy of holding income-generating real estate along with Bitcoin will outperform real estate investment trusts (REITs).Cardone stated that traditional REITs can never structurally incorporate Bitcoin into their balance sheets, while his strategy aims to combine stable real estate cash flow with the upside potential of Bitcoin, expecting to achieve returns of 22% to 32%. He mentioned that 80% of the investors in the company's fund had never held Bitcoin before, and this strategy is designed to introduce this asset to crypto newcomers.

The State Duma of Russia (the lower house of parliament) has passed the "Digital Currency and Digital Rights Bill" in the first reading, marking a key step towards the legalization of cryptocurrency assets in the country.According to the bill, the Bank of Russia will become the core regulatory body for the cryptocurrency market, responsible for issuing licenses, approving or prohibiting related transactions, and defining the legality of transactions. The bill proposes to classify cryptocurrencies as "property," but explicitly prohibits their use as a means of payment domestically, with the ruble remaining the only legal tender. However, in the context of Western sanctions, cryptocurrency assets can be used for cross-border trade settlements, including service payments, intellectual property transfers, and other scenarios.In addition, the bill allows Russian residents to legally invest in cryptocurrency assets through licensed institutions, but will implement a tiered investor system, setting testing and annual investment limits for ordinary investors (with a suggested cap of 300,000 rubles). Initially, only high-market-cap mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum will be allowed for trading, with a whitelist established by the central bank. The bill is expected to be formally passed and come into effect by July 2026 at the latest. However, some lawmakers and banking industry figures have criticized the overly strict regulations, which may affect market activity and even lead to funds remaining in the gray market. At the same time, accompanying legislation is also proposed to introduce criminal penalties, with a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison for illegal cryptocurrency trading.
