Welcome to check out today’s summary of currency news. Today is May 26, 2026. As the U.S.-Iran peace agreement enters a tug-of-war of "negotiation and fighting", macro geopolitical risks continue to disturb the global market. The crypto market performed weak under the double blow of fading risk aversion and shrinking liquidity. Bitcoin suffered its largest weekly outflow of funds this year, falling below $77,000. However, the operations of institutions at the bottom have diverged, and the AI ​​concept and decentralized derivatives ecology remain extremely active. Detailed summary of today's news 1. Macro-thunder: The situation between the United States and Iran is "extremely stretched", Warsh takes over the Fed's peace agreement and conflicts coexist: The United States and Iran are close to reaching a peace agreement, and the latest draft includes the restoration of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, partial lifting of Iran's oil blockade, and the unfreezing of Iran's overseas funds. However, the reality is still tense: the U.S. Central Command confirmed that it carried out "self-defensive strikes" against missile sites and mine-laying ships in southern Iran; Iran strongly accused the United States of flagrantly violating the ceasefire agreement and warned that it would block regional oil exports if the war resumes. Affected by this, international crude oil once plunged more than 6% and then rebounded again. The Federal Reserve enters the "Warsh Era": Kevin Warsh has been officially sworn in as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the market believes that his policies will become a direct extension of the "Trump Economy." Although European Central Bank officials warned that interest rates still need to be raised in June, sentiment in some global stock markets such as Japan and South Korea is still high, and South Korea's KOSPI index continued to hit a record high today. 2. The Crypto Market and Giant Whales: The market has shrunk deeply, and ETFs have suffered record selling. Spot demand has dropped to freezing point: Bitcoin fell below the $77,000 mark, and volatility has dropped to extremely low levels since 2023. Data shows that Bitcoin spot trading volume has plummeted 81% since October 2025, returning to the deepest level of the previous bear market. Digital asset investment products recorded a net outflow of US$1.47 billion last week, of which Bitcoin's single-week outflow was as high as US$1.315 billion, setting a record for the largest capital withdrawal in 2026. The whale's liquidation and institutional counter-trend layout: As the market weakened, "Maji" Huang Licheng was forced to stop the long ETH order of approximately US$3.71 million, and the remaining long orders of tens of millions of dollars were less than 1% away from the liquidation line; the whale Evaded backhand opened a 40 times BTC short order worth US$40.32 million. In terms of corporate treasury, Strategy (micro-strategy) completed the repurchase of US$1.5 billion in 2029 convertible bonds using cash at a discount of approximately 8%, while asset management company Strive bucked the trend and spent US$85.4 million to massively increase its holdings of 1,109 BTC. 3. The intersection of industry ecology and cutting-edge: AI takes over the payment infrastructure, HYPE and ESPORTS are the two worlds of ice and fire, and the explosion of AI machine economy: The report shows that AI Agent (intelligent agent) has completed a total of about 176 million on-chain micropayments, with a settlement amount of more than 73 million US dollars, of which up to 98.6% of transactions are settled using USDC, and stablecoins are becoming the default payment layer of the AI ​​economy. Boosted by fundamentals, AI sector tokens such as WLD, IO, and FET led the market today across the board. The rise and collapse of star ecology: Hyperliquid (HYPE), the leader in decentralized derivatives, continues to be hot. Its market value even surpassed Dogecoin (DOGE) during the Asian session, and it has launched prediction market contracts for off-chain events such as US CPI. OKX, a well-established exchange, also followed suit and officially released Exchange OS, an open trading protocol based on X Layer, driving the OKB token to surge by more than 10%. In contrast, ESPORTS tokens were sold off more than 17 million US dollars due to frenzied selling by the project team, causing the currency price to plummet by 95% in a single day. 4. Supervision and Compliance Tracking: The scale of stablecoins is as rich as any country, and many countries are rectifying the market to predict the rise of stablecoins and risk warnings: The total market value of stablecoins has exceeded US$322 billion, setting a record high, and its scale has exceeded the official foreign exchange reserves of 95 countries and regions around the world. The Wall Street Journal issued an article warning that stablecoins are still essentially “private currencies” and that high levels of centralization may pose systemic risks to the financial system. High-pressure regulation of prediction markets: Spanish regulators initiated disciplinary proceedings against decentralized prediction platforms Polymarket and Kalshi, and implemented preventive access blocking across the entire network.
