Driven by optimistic expectations for an extended ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, the U.S. stock and oil markets continued to strengthen this week. The S&P 500 index rose for the ninth consecutive week, setting the longest winning streak since 2023; Brent crude oil stabilized around $92 per barrel. However, the cryptocurrency market failed to follow the rise of macro risk assets. Over the past week, Bitcoin fell 2.6% to $73,445, Ethereum dropped 2.5% to $2,011, Solana decreased by 2.2%, and TRX saw a decline of 5.6%, making it one of the weakest tokens among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Market analysts believe that the cooling inflow of funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs is putting pressure on coin prices.In contrast, some small and mid-cap tokens performed remarkably well. Among them, the native token of Hyperliquid, HYPE, surged 19.4% this week to around $65, becoming the biggest highlight in the market. Previously, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) CEO Jeffrey Sprecher referred to Hyperliquid as "a bigger opportunity than Nasdaq" at the Bernstein conference, further boosting market sentiment. Additionally, BNB rose 1.9% this week, XRP increased by 0.7%, and DOGE remained basically flat.On the macro level, U.S. President Trump stated that a final decision on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire memorandum is close, but he still insists on Iran abandoning its nuclear program, handing over its enriched uranium stockpile, and opening the Strait of Hormuz. Market participants believe that due to significant differences between the two sides on key issues, the current rebound in risk assets remains relatively fragile, and any negative news regarding the Iran negotiations could trigger a reversal in market sentiment.

Olu Sonola, the U.S. economy director at Fitch Ratings, stated that inflationary pressures may persist in the coming months, making it difficult for the Federal Reserve to ignore supply shocks that drive potential inflation.Market analysis indicates that in the short term, macroeconomic favorable factors have significantly boosted the stock market and oil prices, but the cryptocurrency market lacks similar direct stimuli, and Bitcoin and other digital assets still face selling pressure.

Cryptocurrency analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that the inflow of BTC to trading platforms and the outflow of stablecoins from trading platforms simultaneously release a "risk aversion" signal, indicating that selling pressure in the market is increasing. Data shows that the net inflow of BTC to trading platforms over the past 30 days has shifted from an extreme net outflow of 300,000 BTC at the end of March to an inflow of 103,000 BTC, meaning more BTC is being reintroduced to trading platforms in preparation for sale. During the same period, the price of BTC dropped from $80,000 to $73,700.Meanwhile, stablecoins are flowing out of centralized trading platforms at a record pace. The average net flow of stablecoins over the past 30 days has shifted from an inflow of $164 million per day at the end of April to an outflow of $153 million per day. This indicates that the liquidity available for purchasing BTC in the market is decreasing. Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that when BTC flows into exchanges while stablecoins simultaneously flow out of trading platforms, it creates an unfavorable structure of "increased supply and decreased demand," which is a typical risk aversion market condition.He believes that if the net inflow of BTC continues to exceed +100,000 BTC, the market may face a deeper correction; while stable signals would include BTC turning back to a net outflow or stablecoins flowing back into trading platforms.

The bill stipulates that banks, fintech companies, cryptocurrency exchanges, and wallet providers are prohibited from providing services or facilitating transactions for gambling platforms operating without a license in Argentina.The bill also proposes amendments to the criminal code, imposing a prison sentence of 2 to 4 years on individuals or companies that provide financial, technical, or digital asset services to these illegal platforms.

Fundstrat's research director Tom Lee stated that although the "Tech Seven" have emerged from the downturn, the overall market risks have not been alleviated, and other sectors may gradually enter a "rolling bear market" later in 2026.He believes that the demand for AI remains strong, which will support the major indices in maintaining resilience by the end of the year, but internal market differentiation will intensify. In an interview with CNBC, he said, "The bear market for the Tech Seven and the software sector has ended," but emphasized that this does not represent the overall market.Lee pointed out three potential disruptive factors: fluctuations in the midterm election cycle, selling pressure after the lock-up period for tech company IPOs expires, and tight energy supply. Among these, he views energy as the most direct risk, warning that "the moment of reckoning is approaching: there is a shortage of oil product inventories that cannot be alleviated in the short term," and companies reliant on energy will be under pressure.He remains optimistic about the core support of the U.S. economy—energy independence and improved AI productivity—advising investors to focus on areas with strong earnings certainty, stating that "the companies that truly strengthen are those that control scarce resources." He mentioned that the semiconductor sector has shown signs of overheating, but in the short term, capital momentum still leans towards AI suppliers and tech leaders, while other industries may gradually enter an adjustment phase.

According to official news, the Resolv Foundation has released a complete recovery framework following the protocol security incident. Previously, on March 22, 2026, the protocol was attacked due to a security vulnerability, resulting in the illegal minting of USR tokens entering the market. The protocol subsequently suspended operations and entered recovery mode. Resolv stated that USR was designed as a "premium layer" stable asset backed by collateral, while RLP served as an "insurance layer" to absorb losses. According to the recovery plan, USR/wstUSR held before the attack will be exchanged for USDC at a 1:1 ratio, while USR purchased after the attack will be processed at a 1:0.5 USDC ratio; RLP holders will recover approximately 60%+, with part of the compensation distributed in the form of RESOLV tokens. The official compensation application window is open for three months.At the same time, Resolv announced the launch of a new business line called "Vault Street," managed by the Resolv Foundation, focusing on the distribution and structured yield products of tokenized real-world assets (RWA).

Resolv stated that this product combines structured financing experience from traditional finance with on-chain DeFi infrastructure, aiming to build an institutional-level RWA yield distribution platform. In addition, the functionality of the RESOLV token remains unchanged, with staking and unstaking functions restored, and reward distribution resumed on May 26. Resolv emphasized that it will continue to promote the expansion of Vault Street products, upgrade security architecture, and build on-chain infrastructure for institutional-level assets, stating that "the phase from protocol launch to security incident has ended, and Vault Street will open a new chapter for Resolv."
