European Central Bank (ECB) Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel stated that stablecoins pose risks to financial stability and monetary policy, and the best response from the ECB would be the introduction of a digital euro. She pointed out that stablecoins could increase the risk of bank runs, weaken interest rate transmission, and solidify the dollar's dominance. The ECB's strategy relies on a digital euro and tokenized central bank currency. Previously, Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that stablecoins could expand US policy influence and questioned the validity of CBDCs.
Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that the global adoption of stablecoins could amplify the influence of the Federal Reserve's policies. For adopting countries, stablecoins are similar to fixed exchange rate systems, which would incur costs for U.S. currency and expand the scope of U.S. monetary policy's influence.

The Sui Foundation released an analysis report on the three mainnet outages, attributing them to two vulnerabilities introduced during the v1.72 upgrade. The first outage lasted approximately six and a half hours, while the latter two occurred on Friday. The first two outages stemmed from a flaw in the "address balance" function that caused transaction fees to be deducted, resulting in negative balances that crashed validator nodes. The Foundation acknowledged that the emergency fixes carried known outage risks, and the third outage was triggered by another random state vulnerability. Sui stated that user funds are safe, the vulnerabilities have been fixed, a forced epoch-freezing mechanism has been established, and the AI agent has significantly accelerated the diagnostic process.
Opinions & Analysis
An early investor took profits on Binance Life, turning $2,480 into $12.38 million.
According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin, an address purchased 18.5 million tokens at $2,480 per coin within half an hour of Binance Life's launch last October, averaging $0.00013 per coin. Today, after Binance Life surged 40%, this address transferred 3.5 million tokens ($2.38 million) to Binance to lock in profits, while still holding 15 million tokens ($10 million). The total profit has increased to $12.38 million, a return of approximately 5,000 times.
Citigroup predicts that the tokenized securities market will reach $5.5 trillion by 2030.
A Citigroup report predicts that the market for tokenized real-world assets will grow from $17 billion to $5.5 trillion by 2030, and could reach $8.2 trillion in an optimistic scenario. Drivers include the embedding of tokenization into the core systems of traditional market infrastructure, a projected stablecoin market size of $1.9 trillion, and clear regulation provided by the U.S. Clarity Act. Assuming 10% of U.S. Treasury bonds and 3% of U.S. stocks are tokenized, and if 10% of U.S. investors shift to digital platforms, this would create $2.6 trillion in demand for digital stocks.
Analysis: Last week's $1.26 billion block trade in IBIT was likely a rapid exit by a major investor.
NYDIG analysis suggests that last week's $1.26 billion block trade on BlackRock's IBIT was more likely a large investor quickly exiting its Bitcoin exposure than a basis trade closing position. The trade was executed at $43.16 per share, a 2.3% discount to the market price, with execution costs of approximately $29.5 million. The discount indicates that the seller prioritized speed. CME Bitcoin futures saw only 91 contracts traded within the execution minutes, without any unusually high volume.
JPMorgan analysts say that as tensions in the Middle East ease, investors are withdrawing from the Bitcoin and gold markets, and the momentum for "devaluation trading" is weakening. ETFs for both asset classes have seen outflows over the past two weeks, and institutional holdings in CME futures have also decreased. This is not a shift of funds from Bitcoin to gold, but rather a simultaneous weakening of demand.
Starting May 29, 2026, CME Group Bitcoin futures will trade 24/7, ending the "futures gap" phenomenon caused by weekend trading closures, and classic short-term technical indicators will no longer generate this gap. The market has now filled the gap from the past week, and prices are hovering within the remaining gap range. Large traders' short positions continue to decline, but long positions have not yet formed a clear trend, and Bitcoin prices may continue to fluctuate in the short term.
