According to CriptoNoticias, Spanish citizen David Merino was arrested in Dubai for allegedly leading the cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme FX Winning. This scheme is the largest cryptocurrency-related Ponzi scheme in the history of Spanish investigations, involving over 460 million euros and affecting approximately 15,000 investors. Merino operated the scheme from behind the scenes after officially leaving the company in 2021, attracting funds by promising high returns on forex and cryptocurrency investments. Its operating model involved using funds from new investors to pay early investors, and the scheme operated in about 30 countries.Spain typically has 15 to 40 days to submit extradition documents to the UAE. Additionally, FX Winning is also under investigation in the United States and Mexico, with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration believing the scheme involves 100 billion dollars. Merino released a video in March 2026 denying that he retained others' funds and placing the blame on other members of his team. The Spanish National Securities Market Commission has warned since 2021 that FX Winning is unauthorized to provide investment services.

According to Shandong Legal News, a Bitcoin theft case prosecuted by the Li Cang District Prosecutor's Office in Qingdao has been sentenced. The defendant, Zhang, was sentenced to 10 years and 9 months in prison for theft and fined 100,000 yuan.In the early hours of a certain day in 2024, the virtual currency wallet of the victim, Feng, was quietly accessed, and 107 Bitcoins were transferred, equivalent to over 22.54 million yuan at the market price on that day. It was found that Feng had entrusted an acquaintance, Zhang, to assist with the operation. During the process of registering the wallet on behalf of Feng, Zhang obtained the mnemonic phrase, and after multiple attempts in the early morning, he cracked the wallet and transferred the Bitcoins. After being apprehended, Zhang claimed that his actions were a "protective takeover" to prevent the Bitcoins from being stolen by others. The prosecution traced the funds and found that the stolen Bitcoins were transferred multiple times and exchanged for over 660,000 yuan, exposing his lies.The prosecution determined that Bitcoin has economic value and exclusive control, meeting the core characteristics of "property" in criminal law, and can be the object of theft. The actual proceeds from the sale of the stolen Bitcoins, amounting to over 660,000 yuan, were used as the basis for the theft amount. After the defendant appealed, in November 2025, the Qingdao Intermediate People's Court ruled to dismiss the appeal and upheld the original sentence. This case is a typical example of Qingdao's legal punishment of crimes in the virtual currency field, clearly conveying the judicial stance: activities related to virtual currency must be conducted within the legal framework, and stealing others' virtual property also constitutes a crime.

The cryptocurrency exchange Deepcoin announced that it has been approved for an official license as a Bitcoin Service Provider (BSP) issued by the Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador (Banco Central de Reserva), allowing it to provide regulated Bitcoin-related services under the local compliance framework, including Bitcoin custody, Bitcoin trading, and Bitcoin-related exchange services.El Salvador is the first country in the world to establish Bitcoin as legal tender. The BSP license issued by its central bank directly connects the dual currency system of the US dollar and Bitcoin, and adopts international banking-level high standards for review in international anti-money laundering (AML/CFT) and risk control frameworks. This endorsement by a sovereign nation's legal currency, combined with a very high technical threshold, gives the BSP license significant industry value.Previously, only a few global trading platforms, such as Binance and Bitfinex, had passed this rigorous compliance review. Deepcoin's successful approval means that its technical security and compliance governance have reached the standards of leading international platforms and have received the highest recognition from sovereign regulatory authorities.Having been deeply involved in the industry for many years, Deepcoin has always adhered to the principle of "compliance first." In the future, Deepcoin will strictly operate within the regulatory framework, accelerating the expansion into emerging global markets, and providing local and global users with safe, robust, transparent, and innovative trading services.

According to The Block, the U.S. SEC has filed a lawsuit in the federal court in Houston, accusing Nathan Fuller, a resident of Cypress, Texas, of operating a cryptocurrency scam project involving up to $12.3 million, which used fraudulent artificial intelligence trading bots to defraud investors.Nathan Fuller told investors that his proprietary AI-based bot could automatically scan cryptocurrency trading platforms, capturing small price gaps through high-frequency arbitrage, and promised returns of 40% to 50% within 30 to 45 days. Some investors were even told they could receive guaranteed returns of over 100% within 21 days.The SEC stated that Nathan Fuller, founder and sole member of Privvy Investments LLC, raised these funds from approximately 150 investors located in nine states and two foreign countries between October 2022 and mid-2024. He also conducted business under the alias "Gateway Digital Investments."It is alleged that only about 3% of the funds were actually used for cryptocurrency trading, while Fuller personally siphoned off at least $6.2 million and paid approximately $5.5 million to early investors in a manner similar to a Ponzi scheme.

a16z Crypto published an article analyzing the unique value and challenges faced by prediction markets. Prediction markets allow participants to trade on the outcomes of events, aggregating dispersed information through price signals to provide real-time estimates of the probabilities of future events. Unlike traditional polls, prediction markets have the ability to update in real-time and incentivize participants to bet their capital on their information, thereby improving prediction accuracy.The article points out that prediction markets are used not only by companies for product launches and research experiment forecasts but also by the media as a source of "crowd wisdom," covering a wide range of events from geopolitical issues to AI model performance. Its core advantage lies in providing independent probability estimates for specific events, rather than relying on indirect signals from overall asset price movements. However, prediction markets still face challenges related to infrastructure and market design, including event verification, contract settlement, participant information adequacy, and potential manipulation risks.a16z believes that if these issues are resolved, prediction markets are expected to become important tools for decision-making and information aggregation, expanding financial and societal insights into future events.

According to CoinDesk, digital asset management company Grayscale pointed out in its latest report that the decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid is rapidly evolving from a cryptocurrency perpetual contract exchange into a blockchain financial infrastructure platform, and may even challenge traditional derivatives trading and exchange systems in the future, growing into a "financial services giant."The report shows that Hyperliquid is expected to achieve approximately $800 million in revenue by 2025, with an annual perpetual contract trading volume of about $2.9 trillion and an open interest size of around $7 billion, occupying a significant share of the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Grayscale believes that the platform is no longer limited to cryptocurrency trading but is expanding into tokenized stocks, commodities, and prediction markets through the HIP-3 and HIP-4 systems, gradually building an all-weather on-chain trading infrastructure.FalconX also pointed out in another report that Hyperliquid is competing with traditional derivatives exchanges such as CME Group and prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, making progress in new markets such as Pre-IPO. The report also emphasizes that regulation remains a key variable. Although Hyperliquid currently restricts access for U.S. users, as the regulatory framework becomes clearer and institutions like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Kraken explore perpetual contract products, this sector may welcome broader growth opportunities in the future.

Analyst Darkfost stated that since September 2025, the inflow of stablecoins from million-level whales on Binance has halved, dropping from approximately $62 billion per month to $33 billion, indicating a significant reduction in the participation of large whales in the cryptocurrency market.When a large amount of stablecoins flows into trading platforms, it usually indicates that the market is regaining interest and is about to be repriced. A decrease in inflow suggests that large capital is exiting the market. Monitoring whales remains one of the best ways to gauge potential market sentiment. Currently, the US-Iran conflict and its ripple effects are still creating a lot of uncertainty, making risk management crucial.

SUPERFORTUNE AI posted on platform X that the team is investigating the GUA security incident that occurred on May 27. This incident caused severe fluctuations in token prices, and preliminary investigations indicate that the incident may involve address tampering in a multi-signature transaction.The announcement stated that the plan was to send additional unlocked tokens to the airdrop claim contract address, but during the execution of the transaction, the funds were mistakenly sent to another hacker address. The team noted that this hacker address had never interacted with any addresses related to SUPERFORTUNE before, so the likelihood of an "address poisoning attack" as a method of attack is low. Additionally, SUPERFORTUNE stated that its internal processes already include a multi-address verification mechanism, and the team is still continuing to investigate the incident and will update the community on the latest developments.

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). The first product, primeUSD, has entered the private testing phase, open to professional institutional investors, allowing users to participate in leveraged U.S. Treasury yield strategies through stablecoins. 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."
