On May 26, on-chain detective ZachXBT posted on his personal channel that a certain entity had previously received ESPORTS, RIVER, and LIGHT tokens through Sablier ownership contracts, which are directly linked to the signers of three multi-signature wallets of LAB. These BSC tokens have all been involved in market manipulation on centralized exchanges. ZachXBT had previously flagged anomalies with LAB and RIVER, and earlier today, the ESPORTS token experienced a flash crash, dropping 93% in a single day. The CEX deposit addresses associated with this entity and the LAB signers' addresses have been made public.

On May 26, discussions regarding the regulation of crypto assets in South Africa are entering a more pragmatic phase. The South African National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) signaled a shift towards establishing clearer rules for cross-border digital asset activities, rather than restricting asset holding itself. In a recent statement regarding the draft 'Capital Flow Management Regulations,' the Treasury and the central bank extended the public consultation period until June 30, 2026, and clarified that the proposed rules are not intended to criminalize the holding of crypto assets, nor will they be applied retroactively. Industry experts believe this move aims to provide greater certainty for an industry that has long existed in a regulatory gray area. Regulators also indicated that a draft manual outlining the proposed cross-border crypto asset framework will be released for public consultation. This manual is expected to define the components of cross-border crypto transactions and stipulate the obligations of authorized crypto asset service providers. Mark Diuga, CEO of Bitexen South Africa, commented that this updated statement is constructive as it shifts the discussion from the fear of holding crypto assets to practical matters such as defining legitimate cross-border activities, reporting obligations, and the roles of licensed service providers.

On May 26, the privacy coin sector led the decline, giving back most of the recent gains in the cryptocurrency market. According to HTX data, ZEC fell by as much as 5.2% to $619, marking the largest drop among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap, although it still rose by 8.2% over the past week. Zcash has been one of the strongest performing assets in the crypto market over the past few weeks. Following Multicoin Capital's disclosure of its holdings earlier this month and the increasing narrative surrounding privacy coins, ZEC has attracted institutional interest. Analysts believe that the 5% pullback after such a rally is more akin to profit-taking rather than new selling pressure, as structural buyers of privacy coins have been accumulating during the rise rather than distributing. Hyperliquid's HYPE token briefly surpassed Dogecoin in market cap during the Asian trading session before retreating. HYPE fell by 4% to $59, while Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 0.8% to $0.1009. Driven by the launch of perpetual contracts for SpaceX on Hyperliquid last week, HYPE still rose by 23.6% over the past week. The macro backdrop has contributed to a cautious market tone. The U.S. Central Command confirmed strikes on missile launch sites in Iran and vessels attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, describing them as defensive actions. Brent crude oil rose nearly 2% to $98 per barrel, rebounding from a 7% plunge on Monday (when London and New York markets were closed for holidays). The dollar strengthened against all G10 currencies, gold fell 0.6% to $4,545, and S&P 500 futures maintained a 0.6% gain after the U.S. market was closed on Monday.

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. This new indicator excludes institutional factors such as education and energy subsidies, showing a year-on-year increase significantly higher than the 1.4% increase reported by the Japanese government last week in its benchmark core consumer price index.

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.
