On May 30, the European Commission projected that a potential new unified tax on crypto companies could bring approximately €20 billion in new revenue to the EU during the next seven-year budget cycle from 2028 to 2034. The Commission also evaluated specific types of taxes: a 0.1% tax on the value of crypto transactions could generate around €3-4 billion annually, while a capital gains tax on crypto could yield €1-2.4 billion each year. These proposed crypto-related taxes aim to help address the funding sources for the EU's common budget and are currently in the negotiation phase among member states.

On May 30, on-chain detective ZachXBT further revealed that Circle's decision to blacklist the Zama cUSDC contract address, resulting in approximately $12.6 million in frozen funds, is related to a civil lawsuit in the United States. Circle is believed to have received an enforcement notice from a U.S. court. Additionally, it appears that the Zama team did not receive prior notification from Circle regarding the freeze, and the plaintiff may have misrepresented the connection between the frozen address and the Zama contract to the court. The civil lawsuit was filed against Overnight Finance, with one of the plaintiffs being Patagon Management, an entity known for malicious DAO takeovers and RFV (Risk-Free Value) plundering strategies. Zama users will be indirectly affected by this legal dispute. Note: Patagon Management is a U.S.-based cryptocurrency-focused investment and trading firm founded by Diogenes Casares, primarily focusing on 'special situation investments,' particularly aggressive investments in the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) space. The entity is known for engaging in malicious DAO takeovers and RFV plundering strategies, encouraging the dissolution or liquidation of DAOs by acquiring large amounts of governance tokens and pushing proposals, thereby returning value to token holders (or itself). It has been deeply involved in litigation and governance actions related to projects such as SpartacusDAO, Aragon DAO, and Rook DAO, often viewed by project teams as risk-free value plunderers or 'vulture investors.'

On May 30, the Huobi HTX VIP private class "AI + Trading from Theory to Practice" was held in Shanghai. Early Bitcoin miner and CTO of pyra.io, Tian Jia, shared insights on the development of quantum computing and its impact on trading. He believes that if quantum computing poses a threat to 'Bitcoin addresses with exposed public keys,' it would be on average in 7 to 8 years, with a range of 5 to 15 years. The required number of logical qubits is between 1200 and 2400, while the physical qubit count is less than 500,000. Additionally, Bitcoin has defensive measures; it can transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), although there are significant challenges, such as the locking issue with Satoshi's coin.

Kyle Samani, co-founder of Multicoin Capital, analyzed the development of Kalshi and the U.S. crypto perpetual contract market on the X platform, suggesting three potential scenarios: 1. Kalshi's previous efforts may be irrelevant, as the U.S. market already offers non-regulated perpetual contracts. 2. The protocol must meet the eight decentralized tests of the CLARITY Act: If the CLARITY Act is successfully passed, the protocol could offer perpetual contracts in the U.S. without registering as a DCO (Designated Contract Organizer) and DCM (Designated Contract Market). 3. The product may still attract users but could be unable to legally enter the U.S. financial system: Even if users accept it, the protocol may still struggle to distribute within a compliant framework. The analysis highlights the complex relationship between current U.S. derivatives regulation and decentralized protocols, as well as the uncertainty surrounding the launch of innovative financial products within legal compliance.

On May 30, according to U.S. sources, an anonymous informant revealed that Iran recently launched a ballistic missile attack on the U.S. Air Force base in Kuwait, resulting in several Americans sustaining minor injuries. The informant stated that Kuwait's air defense forces intercepted a "Conqueror-110" missile at the time, but debris fell on the Ali Al-Salem Air Base, injuring multiple personnel and damaging one MQ-9 Reaper drone while another sustained severe damage. The U.S. Central Command has not yet responded to this information. On May 28, the U.S. Central Command issued a statement accusing Iran of launching missiles towards Kuwait. In response, Iran stated that the attack on the U.S. base was a retaliation for the U.S. strike on the port of Abadan.

According to News.bitcoin, U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) shared his views on cryptocurrency and its regulation in an interview, published Sunday. Brad Sherman said that Congress has not banned crypto because “there’s too much money and power behind it.” He elaborated: “Money for lobbying and money for campaign contributions works, or people wouldn’t do it, and that’s why we haven’t banned crypto.” Not only is the congressman concerned about individual investors being defrauded, but he also views cryptocurrency as a threat to the national security of the U.S. He believes crypto poses a systemic threat, enables criminals, and undermines the U.S. dollar’s dominance.
