On May 26, the Bank of Japan stated on Tuesday that, according to its newly established inflation indicator, Japan's core consumer inflation rate for April, excluding one-off factors, rose to 2.8%, surpassing the 2% target level and accelerating from 2.5% in March.

On May 26, on-chain analyst 'b-block' posted on social media that a phishing site impersonating Uniswap is stealing funds from multiple wallets, with the assets held by the scammers exceeding $400,000. Stacy Muur, founder of the Web3 marketing agency Green Dots, shared screenshots of fake sponsored results on search engines, criticizing Google for ignoring this issue for years, which has led to fake links ranking above real ones, resulting in continuous theft from users. According to Etherscan data, the two flagged addresses hold approximately 146 ETH, valued at about $306,000. DeFiLlama pointed out that fake ads on Google are a common source of phishing attacks. A report from the crypto nonprofit Security Alliance (SEAL) in April stated that phishing activities on Google searches 'significantly increased' in March, with attackers deploying highly deceptive fake ads by paying for or hijacking legitimate ad accounts, using seemingly authentic URLs to bypass Google's automated checks, and loading malicious payloads through hidden iframes. SEAL has blocked over 356 malicious ad links and noted that the volume of Google ads deployed by attackers has remained stable for over a year, with no slowdown in attack activities. Reports indicate that from March 13 to 30 alone, the total stolen funds reached $1.27 million. Additionally, earlier this month, there was a malicious ad campaign targeting Mac users that utilized Google ads and the AI chatbot Claude for shared chats. A report from Malwarebytes also highlighted that Facebook is similarly a hotspot for fake ads and scams.

On May 26, blockchain analysis platform Swissblock released a report indicating that Bitcoin is gradually slipping into a high-risk environment, primarily driven by continued selling from institutional funds, particularly the net outflow from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Historical data shows that whenever this index indicates structural selling pressure overwhelming the market, it often corresponds to systematic distribution behavior from institutional funds. On-chain data analysis firm Glassnode also noted that since May 7, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows almost every trading day, with institutional selling signals persisting for over two weeks. "This continuous outflow of funds is exerting pressure on the supply side of the market, while there has yet to be sufficient buying demand to offset it," further exacerbating the risk of supply-demand imbalance. In market terms, Bitcoin faced short-term pressure on Tuesday due to geopolitical disturbances. Reports indicated that the U.S. launched a new round of military strikes against Iran, despite recent progress towards a peace agreement between the two sides. Bitcoin's price fell by about 1%, briefly dipping from above $77,000 to around $76,500, but overall, it has maintained a range-bound pattern for nearly four months. CoinEx Chief Analyst Jeff Ko stated that while geopolitical events may trigger short-term volatility, the market's focus may still lean towards potential reconciliation progress between the U.S. and Iran, with the overall cryptocurrency market "remaining in a wait-and-see state." In summary, the current Bitcoin market faces dual pressures: on one hand, the continuous outflow from spot ETFs weakens key buying support; on the other hand, geopolitical uncertainties amplify short-term volatility risks. If institutional risk appetite does not improve marginally, the risk index may rise further, necessitating caution against the adjustment pressure brought about by technical selling and emotional resonance.

The European Cybercrime Centre and Latvia's anti-terrorism unit recently raided an office in Latvia, dismantling a SIM card fraud operation. Police seized 1,200 SIM box devices and 40,000 active SIM cards, capable of connecting to 80 countries simultaneously. The gang operated two websites, Gogetsms and Apisim, providing on-demand rental of overseas phone numbers to criminals for activities such as phishing, bank fraud, investment scams, extortion, and human trafficking. This network has caused at least 3,200 fraud cases in Austria and Latvia, with losses amounting to $5.8 million. Police also confiscated four luxury cars, froze $470,000 in bank account funds, and seized $290,000 in cryptocurrency. The operation was run by just seven individuals, yet they created 49 million fake accounts through their services.

On May 26, according to official news, the International Holding Company (IHC), headquartered in Abu Dhabi, announced that it has completed a transaction valued at $30 million (110 million dirhams) using a UAE dirham-backed stablecoin. This marks the first major institutional application of the stablecoin since it received regulatory approval. The transaction utilized the DDSC stablecoin and was executed on the institutional-level Layer-2 blockchain ADI Chain, developed by the ADI Foundation. Officials stated that this multimillion-dollar transaction demonstrates the operational readiness of the digital currency ecosystem and its capability to handle institutional-level transaction volumes. DDSC was created in collaboration with IHC, First Abu Dhabi Bank, and Sirius International Holding, with technical support from the ADI Foundation. The approval of DDSC by the Central Bank of the UAE earlier this year is part of a broader regulatory push, following the licensing of several dirham-pegged tokens. The CEO of IHC stated in a statement, 'This transaction indicates that the digital infrastructure in the UAE is active, resilient, and ready to support real institutional financial activities.'

BlockFi is bringing back its popular high yield crypto savings account almost nine months after the SEC fined the fintech, thanks to a loophole. And this time it will only target America's wealthiest investors. 
The firm said only U.S. accredited investor clients – about 13% of households – would be able to earn interest through BlockFi Yield, which offers rates on 15 different cryptocurrencies. The firm described the yields as "competitive."
BlockFi is offering the product through an exemption "from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933."
The move comes after BlockFi said that it would register Yield—formerly known as the BlockFi Interest Account—with the SEC, which in February slapped the fintech with a $100 million fine.
