The U.S. government, through the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), has initiated a multi-agency coordinated financial action aimed at systematically targeting Iran's domestic digital asset infrastructure, with the goal of dismantling Tehran's parallel shadow banking system. According to officially disclosed information, this operation has successfully identified and incapacitated a large interconnected digital wallet network directly controlled by the Iranian regime, and has immediately frozen nearly $500 million in sovereign-related crypto assets.The U.S. intends to disrupt Iran's ability to bypass long-standing Western trade embargoes by blocking these alternative capital channels, cutting off its resources to regional proxy networks, and systematically weakening the regime's ability to transfer or repatriate wealth outside the oversight of traditional global clearing institutions. The focus of this enforcement action is to systematically identify state-sponsored large cryptocurrency trading portals, which have quietly evolved into core nodes for evading sanctions.Federal intelligence reports indicate that these regional platforms have processed billions of dollars in high-frequency digital asset transactions, heavily relying on mainstream stablecoins and high-throughput alternative blockchain networks to obscure their illegal settlement flows. Under the newly implemented executive directive, the Treasury is actively blacklisting specific crypto addresses, tracking mining pool variables, and imposing sanctions on foreign technology providers that facilitate these state-supported networks.Additionally, the U.S. is leveraging its dominant position in international banking to compel foreign financial intermediaries to fully comply with its aggressive crypto asset control protocols. The Treasury has issued stern warnings to international technology centers that any platform providing clearing services or liquidity assistance to designated Iranian digital entities will face immediate risks of exclusion from the U.S. financial system.This comprehensive containment model shifts regulatory responsibility to global exchanges, forcing them to deploy advanced real-time blockchain analysis tools to programmatically identify and block any inbound transactions originating from Iranian internet protocol or historical wallet clusters. By installing these stringent crypto safeguards at the level of global gateways, the U.S. government is transforming permissionless distributed ledgers into highly controlled economic zones, ensuring that alternative payment infrastructures cannot be used to undermine broader Western geopolitical security objectives in the next decade.

According to Decrypt, research published by Glassnode shows that nearly one-third of circulating Bitcoin has exposed public keys, theoretically making it vulnerable to future quantum computer attacks. Specifically, about 6.04 million Bitcoins worth over $46.9 billion are at quantum risk. Among these, approximately 1.92 million are structurally exposed, originating from early "pay-to-public-key" addresses, multi-signature structures, and Taproot outputs, which are script formats that default to exposing public keys.About 4.12 million are operationally exposed, stemming from address reuse behavior. Among the Bitcoins with operational exposure, approximately 1.66 million are related to exchanges, accounting for 8.3% of the total supply and about 40% of all operationally exposed Bitcoins. From the holdings of major exchanges, only 5% of Coinbase's Bitcoins are exposed to quantum risk, while Binance and Bitfinex have exposure rates of 85% and 100%, respectively. Glassnode states that this result should not be interpreted as a risk ranking of specific companies or a signal of solvency.

According to CoinDesk, the holdings of long-term Bitcoin holders continue to rise, currently reaching about 16.3 million BTC, close to historical highs, breaking a downward trend that lasted for two and a half years.Long-term Bitcoin holders are typically investors who have held their coins for more than 155 days. The holdings have increased from about 14.12 million BTC since Bitcoin reached its historical high of approximately $126,000 in October 2025, with an increase of about 200,000 BTC in the past month alone.Historically, this metric only approached higher levels (around 16.4 million BTC) in January 2024, just before the launch of the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF. Subsequently, as the market rose, long-term holders cumulatively reduced their holdings by about 2 million BTC over several months.During typical bear markets or price correction phases, long-term holders usually re-enter accumulation cycles, indicating that "smart money" is flowing back into the market during periods of price pressure on Bitcoin.

According to Forbes, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the U.S. Treasury has frozen nearly $500 million in cryptocurrency assets related to the Iranian regime, including $344 million frozen last month.The report states that Iran currently controls about $7.7 billion in digital assets and uses Bitcoin to settle payments for shipping insurance via the Strait of Hormuz.The U.S. is intensifying its crackdown on Iran's cryptocurrency activities to cut off its channels for evading sanctions and transferring funds. Industry insiders say that cryptocurrency transactions can still be tracked, and the U.S. may further pressure by restricting cryptocurrency exchanges' access to the U.S. banking system.

SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) prospectus (Form S-1) shows that there is extensive business and equity overlap among several companies owned by Elon Musk. In this 330-page document, "Tesla" is mentioned 87 times, "xAI" appears 356 times, "X" appears 267 times, and "The Boring Company" and "Neuralink" are mentioned 7 times and 3 times, respectively. In terms of equity, Tesla holds approximately 19 million shares of SpaceX Class A common stock, accounting for less than 1%. In February of this year, after Musk merged his artificial intelligence company xAI with SpaceX, Tesla's shares in xAI were converted into SpaceX shares.In terms of business transactions, SpaceX purchased $131 million worth of Cybertrucks from Tesla at the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Previously, it was reported that SpaceX purchased 1,279 Cybertrucks in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the prospectus suggests that the actual purchase quantity may be higher. Additionally, SpaceX purchased $697 million worth of Megapack energy storage batteries from Tesla in 2024 and 2025 to stabilize peak demand at its Colossus I and II data centers located in Memphis, Tennessee.The prospectus also reveals the financial pressures brought about by the merger. SpaceX will allocate approximately 60% of its capital expenditures (about $20 billion) to xAI in 2025, but xAI's revenue grew only 22% year-over-year last year, and it incurred losses amounting to billions of dollars. In the risk factors section, SpaceX explicitly lists Musk himself as a major risk. The document states that the company "is highly dependent on Musk's continued services," and his leadership, vision, and technical expertise are crucial to the company's future.At the same time, SpaceX acknowledges that Musk is not always 100% focused on company affairs, and several of his companies may compete with each other or encroach on each other's business in certain areas. Musk is not restricted from engaging in activities that may directly compete with SpaceX, which could lead to potential conflicts of interest in the future. Furthermore, Musk's statements and actions may have positive or negative impacts on the company's business, customer relationships, regulatory relationships, or stock price.

According to a report by Shangguan News, on May 17, 2026, an elderly man in his 70s, Mr. Gong, from Shuxin Town, Chongming, Shanghai, was deceived by a scammer posing as an "investment mentor" on a short video platform. He was lured into investing in Bitcoin with the bait of "low investment, high returns" and attempted to withdraw 100,000 yuan in cash for transfer at different bank branches twice.After noticing the unusual behavior, the bank teller activated the anti-fraud warning mechanism and coordinated with the police to intervene and dissuade him. The police explained to the elderly man, using real cases, that virtual currency trading and speculation are explicitly prohibited in the country, and that so-called "Bitcoin investments" are all scams. They helped him delete the fraudulent software and block the scammer on WeChat on the spot. After two rounds of patient persuasion from the police and the bank, the elderly man ultimately recognized the scam and gave up the transfer.
