As Wall Street and global financial institutions accelerate their entry into the digital asset space, the boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) are gradually blurring. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated, "The era of 'long Bitcoin, short bankers' is over," as financial institutions are turning to the other side of the crypto industry, promoting the adoption of digital assets.Hunter Horsley mentioned that this summer, two financial institutions managing over $1 trillion in assets approved the launch of crypto products in a bear market environment, indicating that large institutions are expanding channels for clients to access digital assets. "This year, everyone is wearing the crypto industry's jersey. Now, everyone is working for the crypto industry," Horsley said. He pointed out that these financial institutions, which manage over a trillion dollars in client assets, would not have opened related services during the downturn of the crypto market in 2022, but now they are actively embracing this field.Sygnum Chief Investment Officer Fabian Dori also believes that the relationship between banks and the crypto industry has undergone a structural change. "The past trading of 'long Bitcoin, short bankers' is over; banks have shifted from resisting digital assets to building, supporting, and distributing digital assets through custody, tokenization, and compliant trading." This change is primarily driven by increased customer demand and gradually clarified regulatory rules, rather than short-term market cycle changes.Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley stated that over the past two years, its client base increasingly reflects the trend of integration between traditional finance and crypto finance. Large financial institutions typically choose to collaborate with specialized crypto infrastructure companies rather than building their own technology systems. In recent years, more and more financial institutions have entered the crypto space, including Swissquote, DBS, BBVA, BNY Mellon, Credit Suisse-related institutions, as well as Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab.

"White-haired stock god" Serenity stated that AI investment may be simpler than the market imagines, as Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang have actually been releasing signals of future industry trends in advance, but the market often chooses to ignore these trends before they truly explode. Serenity noted that when Nvidia heavily locked in EML (Electrically Modulated Laser) and laser production capacity in 2025, the market questioned the photonics sector, believing that related companies had issues with speculation or even management. However, a year later, the stock prices of related optical communication companies surged significantly. Among them, LITE rose by 678%, and AAOI rose by 475.12%.Serenity believes that the market is currently repeating a similar pattern. In 2026, Nvidia locked in continuous wave (CW) laser and EML production capacity through long-term agreements, while clearly promoting the transition to an 800V power architecture and repeatedly emphasizing that co-packaged optics (CPO) and "Physical AI" will become important trends in the next phase. The market may once again underestimate the industry signals released by Nvidia, but Nvidia and Jensen Huang's judgments often serve as leading indicators of AI industry trends.

According to three informed sources, in mid-May, when U.S. negotiators attempted to reach an agreement to end the war with Iran, they encountered a problem: they could not determine whether the Iranian representatives across the negotiating table truly represented the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which holds significant influence in the country. The report stated that, as a result, officials from the Trump administration took an unusual approach—bypassing the Iranian negotiating representatives and directly contacting senior leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.The U.S. chose Nechirvan Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, to handle this secret communication channel. He possesses a rare advantage: he has gained the trust of both the U.S. and the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This incident highlights that one of the significant reasons for the difficulties in U.S.-Iran negotiations is Washington's inability to determine who truly holds decision-making power in Iran. The U.S. and Iran did eventually reach a memorandum of understanding, but it quickly fell apart.

According to Crypto Briefing, Bits of Gold, Israel's largest compliant crypto broker, has suffered a data breach, with approximately 200,000 customers' personal information stolen by hackers, putting all users of the platform at risk.The company obtained Israel's first virtual asset service provider (VASP) license in September 2022 and was approved to issue the BILS stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the shekel, in April 2026. The types of stolen data have not been disclosed, but crypto brokers typically collect sensitive information such as identification documents, proof of address, and financial information in accordance with KYC regulations. While cold wallets can protect digital assets, they cannot safeguard customer identity documents on servers. Historical cases show that similar data breaches are often used for phishing, SIM card swapping, and targeted social engineering attacks, with security risks extending beyond the platform itself.

Matthew Sigel, the Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, stated that if the U.S. CLARITY Act is passed, it will trigger "an enormous relief rally" in L1 tokens.Sigel's remarks focus on the potential impact of regulatory progress on native assets of public chains. The CLARITY Act aims to provide a clearer regulatory framework for digital assets, and the market generally views it as one of the important legislative variables affecting the risk appetite for crypto assets.

According to GMGN data, the meme coin "Behemoth" on the BSC chain briefly surpassed a market cap of 2.7 million USD, currently reported at 1.04 million USD, with a 24H increase of 8251%. Meme coin prices are highly volatile, and investors should participate with caution.Previously, a developer announced the completion of the first real on-chain 4-bit processor (CPU) on the BNB Chain, which consists of 2251 logic gates, including NAND gates and flip-flops, and has been verified cycle by cycle. Its performance specifications are comparable to the 1971 Intel 4004 processor. This on-chain CPU is named "Behemoth" and has successfully run Fibonacci sequence calculations: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. Due to the processor's operating rhythm being synchronized with the BNB Chain's block generation, it executes a cycle every 0.45 seconds, with a current operating frequency of about 2.22Hz, referred to by the developer as "possibly the slowest CPU in the universe."The developer stated that in the future, a complete protocol will be made public, allowing anyone to create their own on-chain processors based on this protocol, and supporting inter-calls between processors to build more complex on-chain computing systems in a "building block" manner. Regarding this project, Binance co-founder CZ responded to inquiries about its practical application scenarios: "What is the use case?" which sparked community discussions.
