On May 26, a joint survey by Mercado Bitcoin and Opinion Box revealed that cryptocurrency is continuously expanding its presence in Brazil's financial market, now appearing in the portfolios of 16% of Brazilian investors. The survey also indicated that 56% of those who have never invested in crypto assets expressed interest in entering the market in the future. The data suggests that the Brazilian industry is maturing, especially as investors remain conservative and prioritize security. The survey showed that the most common investment among Brazilians is still CDB (56%), followed by savings accounts (49%). Notably, digital assets are being incorporated as part of a diversification strategy rather than necessarily replacing traditional investments. Nearly half of crypto investors still keep funds in savings accounts. The survey data also reflects a perception of opportunity, with 61% of Brazilians viewing a drop in Bitcoin as a favorable buying opportunity, and this figure rises to 79% among those who already hold crypto assets. Additionally, 82% of crypto investors stated they do not regret investing in this market, while 44% regretted not starting earlier. Experts point out that Brazilian investors are becoming more mature and pragmatic, focusing on asset preservation rather than being driven by ideology. Despite the progress, significant barriers remain: about 62% of respondents find it difficult to understand the technical terminology in the crypto field, and 76% believe the market is too complex. Regulation is also a decisive factor for Brazilian investors, with 55% of respondents considering trading on regulated platforms as the most important attribute when choosing a crypto investment venue. Experts note that the Brazilian Central Bank, CVM, and Congress no longer view digital assets as a fringe phenomenon; the advancement of regulation and the entry of traditional financial institutions are significantly reducing the perceived institutional risks.

On May 26, data showed that Bitcoin's implied volatility has dropped to 36%, marking an eight-month low, indicating that the market expects BTC to continue fluctuating in the short term. The decline in volatility itself does not indicate the direction of the market, but current derivatives market data suggests that shorts may be overly concentrated. If BTC breaks above $82,000, it could trigger a massive short squeeze. CoinGlass's liquidation heatmap shows a significant accumulation of BTC short positions in the $78,000–$83,000 range. Meanwhile, BTC has failed to reclaim $90,000 for nearly four months, leading some shorts to establish stronger bearish expectations. Additionally, Glassnode data indicates that the 30-day options Delta Skew for BTC currently stands at 14%, suggesting a significant premium for put options compared to call options, reflecting that professional traders remain more concerned about the risk of BTC declining. The market has partially priced in the expectation of BTC retracing to $72,000, but if BTC breaks out above $82,000 with strong volume, it may trigger a more intense leveraged short covering scenario.

On May 26, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon wrote in The New York Times that concerns about AI causing a 'mass unemployment wave' are exaggerated. He believes that the U.S. economy will continue to create more new jobs through technological transformation, just as it did during the past industrial revolution and the internet era. Solomon stated that Goldman Sachs expects AI or automation to impact about 25% of existing work hours over the next decade, with significant effects on white-collar jobs in sectors like banking, accounting, and law. A Stanford study shows that recruitment for entry-level positions in highly automated roles, such as software engineering and customer service, has declined by 16% compared to less automated industries. However, he pointed out that AI is also creating new job demands. For instance, since 2022, the construction of data centers in the U.S. has generated over 200,000 construction jobs. Goldman Sachs itself may reduce some compliance and account opening positions but will increase hiring for client-facing roles in banking, trading, and asset management. Solomon believes that AI is more likely to enhance productivity rather than directly eliminate 25% of jobs. He stated, 'Technological advancement and cultural change do not always align; being replaceable does not mean one will necessarily be replaced.' He also called for a joint effort by the government and businesses to promote large-scale retraining programs to address the changes in labor structure brought about by AI.
