On May 26, Reuters reported that Isabel Schnabel, a member of the European Central Bank's governing council and a potential candidate for ECB president, stated that even if the U.S. and Iran achieve results in peace negotiations, the ECB should still initiate a rate hike in June. She believes that the current energy shock is lasting much longer than expected, and damage to energy infrastructure along with supply chain disruptions have pushed high energy prices into broader economic sectors. Schnabel pointed out that inflation in the Eurozone has risen to 3%, with further upward risks still present. There are concerns within the ECB that high energy costs are driving up prices for goods and services through 'second-round effects,' creating more persistent inflationary pressures. She emphasized that the ECB's previous baseline forecast included two rate hikes, and a single action may not be sufficient to achieve the inflation control target.

On May 26, CoinShares released its latest weekly report indicating that digital asset investment products experienced an outflow of $1.47 billion last week, marking the second consecutive week of negative growth. This represents the third-largest single-week outflow since 2026, following two weeks in late January that saw $1.7 billion in outflows. Bitcoin alone saw an outflow of $1.315 billion, setting a record for the largest single-week outflow since 2026, surpassing the peak at the end of January. Year-to-date, Bitcoin outflows have decreased from $3.9 billion the previous week to $2.6 billion, highlighting the potential for a rapid reduction in cumulative holdings in 2026 during periods of heightened risk aversion. Ethereum experienced an outflow of $222.8 million, remaining roughly stable compared to the previous week.

On May 26, Reuters reported that Isabel Schnabel, a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council and a potential candidate for ECB President, stated that even if the U.S. and Iran achieve results in peace negotiations, the ECB should still initiate a rate hike in June. She believes that the current energy shock has lasted far longer than expected, with damage to energy infrastructure and supply chain disruptions driving high energy prices into broader economic sectors. Schnabel pointed out that inflation in the eurozone has risen to 3%, with further upward risks still present. There are concerns within the ECB that high energy costs are pushing up the prices of goods and services through 'second-round effects,' creating more persistent inflationary pressures. She emphasized that the ECB's previous baseline forecast included two rate hikes, and a single action may not be sufficient to achieve the inflation control target. The market has largely priced in expectations for two future increases in the ECB deposit rate, with a roughly 50% probability of a third hike occurring within the next year. However, the ECB will not commit to a predetermined path and will continue to adjust its policy dynamically based on data from each meeting. At the same time, Schnabel warned that persistently high energy prices could lead to weaker-than-expected economic growth in the eurozone, creating pressures of simultaneous slowing growth and rising inflation.

According to IMF blog, few parts of the world have embraced crypto assets like Asia, where top adopters include individual and institutional investors from India to Vietnam and Thailand. This raises the important issue of the extent of integration of crypto into the financial system in Asia.
Crypto trading, however, soared as millions stayed home in the pandemic and received government aid, while low interest rates and easy financing conditions also played a role. The total market value of the world’s crypto assets surged 20-fold in just a year and a half to $3 trillion in December. 
As Asian investors piled into crypto, the correlation between the performance of the region’s equity markets and crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum has increased. 
For example, the return correlations of Bitcoin and Indian stock markets have increased by 10-fold over the pandemic, suggesting limited risk diversification benefits of crypto. The volatility correlations have increased by 3-fold suggesting possible spillovers of risk sentiment among the crypto and equity markets.
Key drivers of the increased interconnectedness of crypto and equity markets in Asia could include growing acceptance of crypto-related platforms and investment vehicles in the stock market and at the over-the-counter market, or more generally growing crypto adoption by retail and institutional investors in Asia, many of whom have positions in both the equity and crypto markets.
