According to Jinshi reports, Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Green stated that the reasons for raising the key interest rate are strengthening.

Well-known trader Killa (@KillaXBT) posted that, from the perspective of the 180-day actual price, the time investors have been in a loss state during this adjustment may not be sufficient.Historical experience shows that bear markets are usually accompanied by prolonged periods of continuous losses, with many investors remaining in unrealized losses for a long time. If historical patterns repeat, the current adjustment cycle may require more time to digest, and the market may still need to go through a longer bottoming process.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted that the internal team of the Ethereum Foundation has been working on a new project called Kohaku for nearly a year. The goal is to achieve both security (including decentralization) and read-write privacy at the Ethereum access layer, making security and privacy a "normal configuration" on Ethereum rather than an advanced option. Earlier today, it was reported that Kohaku, under the Ethereum Foundation, released an SDK for wallet-level privacy integration.

Lighter may benefit from the recent "fireside chat" between founder Vlad Novakovski and Vitalik discussing high-performance applications on Ethereum and the ZK Rollup scaling roadmap, as well as smart money seeking undervalued targets in the same sector amid multiple favorable conditions. Its platform token Lit has strengthened against the overall weakness in the crypto market. According to HTX data, it is currently priced at $1.771, with a 24-hour increase of 21.87%. The current market focus is on Lighter's high-performance application scenarios in the Ethereum ecosystem, its scalability roadmap, and the future development direction of decentralized finance (DeFi).In addition, according to DefiLlama data, Lighter's 24-hour trading volume reached $1.289 billion, with a holding volume exceeding $760 million.

Despite the ETH price dropping about 26% this year, the staking ratio of Ethereum has increased from 29% at the beginning of the year to about 31%, showing that long-term holders are ignoring price weakness and on-chain risks, continuously reducing the circulating supply. Historical data indicates that in the context of tightening circulating supply, once demand experiences a substantial recovery, it will provide favorable support for the price.Meanwhile, liquid staking protocols like Lido have significantly lowered the participation threshold, expanding the staking community from professional validators to a broader range of retail and institutional users. Analysis points out that as spot ETF products mature and the scale of RWA tokenization activities on Ethereum expands, institutional demand for staking ETH may bring structural capital inflows to the staking ecosystem.Although the ETH price performance has been poor, Ethereum's core position in RWA settlement, DeFi infrastructure, and Layer 2 activities continues to solidify. Whether the price can reverse may depend on the speed at which institutional capital shifts from narrative to actual allocation.

According to Jinshi reports, Mitsubishi UFJ analyst Michael Wan stated that after the U.S. inflation data exceeded expectations, the yen became the most pressured currency in the process of the dollar strengthening again. The USD/JPY exchange rate fell to around 157.88, approaching the high set on May 6.The market expects the Federal Reserve to further tighten policies, pushing the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to its highest level since July of last year, and the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield has surpassed 5%.

According to Jinshi reports, Mitsubishi UFJ analysts stated in a report that the dollar may strengthen further in the coming days and weeks, potentially rising in sync with U.S. Treasury yields. If there is no resolution to the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, this trend will become more pronounced. Analysts pointed out that the current market enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence is an important support against the risk of a stock market correction, and once the stock market adjusts, it usually benefits the dollar.

Glassnode's latest weekly report indicates that Bitcoin slowly climbed from $77,000 to $82,000 last week, with buying pressure continuing to support during the pullback, even as momentum began to cool near local highs. The spot CVD surged, reflecting strong bullish sentiment and a firm belief in price increases. Meanwhile, spot trading volume also increased, indicating that the recent price trend gained more support with heightened investor participation. However, the easing of price momentum suggests that buying and selling pressures are becoming more balanced, implying that the market may be entering a stabilization phase.The situation in the futures market is similar, with a rise in risk appetite. The increase in open interest indicates heightened speculative activity, with investors willing to take on more risk; the perpetual contract CVD surged, indicating sustained bullish momentum. However, the decline in long funding rates suggests a shift towards bearish sentiment, and bullish sentiment may have weakened.In the options market, the demand for downside protection has decreased, while open interest has increased, indicating a shift in market expectations towards neutral or slightly bullish. However, the volatility spread has surged significantly, indicating that the risks reflected in options pricing are much higher than the actual risks, reflecting a notable increase in participant uncertainty.In summary, supported by stronger on-chain activity, healthier profitability, and more stable holder positions, Bitcoin's market structure continues to improve. Although bullish sentiment is strengthening, the slowdown in capital inflows and cautious market sentiment suggest that the market remains sensitive to changes in risk appetite.

Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine, stated on the X platform that Ethereum's supply has been in a "deflationary" state over the past year, and the purchases and staking by Ethereum's crypto treasury company have further amplified this trend.

According to FOX reporter Charles Gasparino, the U.S. CFTC and SEC are currently in agreement on the regulatory boundaries regarding prediction markets and recent unusual trading related to the Iran conflict.Gasparino pointed out that although outsiders believe this area is solely governed by the CFTC, the SEC will deeply intervene when prediction contracts can legally be defined as "securities." He also revealed that, in addition to the cases previously announced, regulators may initiate more enforcement actions against prediction markets in the future.

The cryptocurrency market is strengthening in sync with global stock indices, and risk assets continue to show an upward trend. As of this morning, BTC has firmly stood above the key support level of $81,000 and is showing a sustained upward trend.Meanwhile, major global stock indices are performing strongly, with several core indices reaching historical highs this week. According to data from the Gate platform, SPX500 (S&P 500 Index) reached a peak of $7,314.55 during trading, setting a new historical high, and is currently reported at $7,274.36; NAS100 (Nasdaq 100 Index) is currently reported at $28,211.46, with a 24-hour increase of 1.73%; JPN225 (Nikkei 225 Index) is currently reported at $387.33, with a 24-hour increase of 2.21%, indicating a continued warming of global risk appetite.Against this backdrop, the inter-market asset correlation has further strengthened.

Market analysts point out that DAT (Digital Asset Treasury/Asset Management Vehicle) in the Hyperliquid ecosystem currently holds about 9% of the circulating supply of HYPE, a higher proportion than similar structures of mainstream assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB. The analysis suggests that DAT, as an important vehicle for institutional participation, introduces new "balance sheet buying" to the market, addressing the issue of a lack of sustained allocation funds in previous cycles.Among them, HYPE is currently one of the few assets trading at a positive mNAV (market net asset value premium), giving related treasury tools stronger financing capabilities. In addition, the recent revisions to ETF application documents are seen as a signal that the approval path is gradually becoming clearer. The report indicates that against the backdrop of DAT continuously absorbing circulating chips, if the ETF is approved, the new passive funds will directly impact the relatively limited circulating supply, and combined with the early institutional holding structure, may provide more direct support for the price. However, the analysis also warns that the current circulating ratio of HYPE is still relatively low compared to the fully diluted valuation (FDV), and the structural release of supply remains a potential variable.

According to CoinDesk, the American Innovation Project (AIP), a U.S. technology policy advocacy organization, has added two policy researchers, including Jacob Smagula, who has a background in the cryptocurrency industry, to join Congressman Ritchie Torres's team to participate in legislation related to digital assets.It is reported that Smagula previously worked in the government affairs team of the Bitcoin mining company MARA and is currently engaged in policy research at the DeFi Education Fund, possessing experience in communication between the cryptocurrency industry and regulators. AIP was established in 2025 with support from organizations such as the Digital Currency Group, aiming to provide Congress members with professional insights and policy support on emerging technologies like AI and digital assets. This appointment is seen as a signal of further professionalization in U.S. cryptocurrency legislation and regulation.
