On May 14, foreign media reported, citing informed sources, that Vitol Energy Group is supplying Basrah crude oil from Iraq to customers, indicating that some shipments may have successfully departed from the Persian Gulf. Sources stated that Vitol has provided supplies to refiners in recent days, including Basrah medium sour crude and Basrah heavy crude, delivered through ship-to-ship transfers in waters near Fujairah (UAE port). If the transaction is completed, it would be a rare case of Iraqi crude oil being publicly offered by traders in the spot market since the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

On May 14, Cynthia Lummis, the U.S. Senator and proponent of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act, stated during the Senate Banking Committee's review of the CLARITY Act that the legislation significantly strengthens the Treasury's special anti-money laundering authority to swiftly combat foreign money laundering activities. It mandates research on mixers and requires annual reports on foreign jurisdictions' compliance with U.S. anti-money laundering standards and developments in offshore stablecoins. The bill also establishes a federal regulatory baseline for cryptocurrency ATMs, mandating digital asset risk education materials, insider resale restrictions to prevent 'pump and dump' schemes, and stipulating timely disclosures related to broker bankruptcy disclosure rules. Tokenized securities remain under the SEC's jurisdiction, while the CFTC has enforcement authority over unfair or deceptive practices. Additionally, the bill applies the Bank Secrecy Act to digital asset brokers, dealers, and trading platforms, implementing temporary freezes on suspicious activities. This is a bill that supports both law enforcement and consumers. Consumers can transfer money to each other faster and cheaper, enjoying a fair competitive environment whether they live in Rwanda or Queens, New York. More importantly, Bitcoin can be 'remembered'—meaning a woman trying to escape an abusive marriage can leave with her own money; someone tortured abroad can keep their assets in their mind to escape the country. This innovation provides guarantees for personal freedom and savings: faster, cheaper, and safer. At the end of her speech, Cynthia Lummis thanked everyone present for their efforts and made a firm commitment to collaborate with all parties to resolve the remaining minor details before the bill is submitted for a parliamentary vote. She emphasized that mutual trust is key to advancing this process, as working together can create a result that everyone can be proud of, as well as one that makes the American people proud. According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability of the CLARITY Act being signed into law in 2026 on the prediction market Polymarket is 66%.

On May 14, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that Iran's oil storage is full, and Tehran will need to stop oil production. Following the US blockade on Iranian oil exports, a key issue in this conflict is how long Iran can store oil that it cannot export before running out of space. Some analysts believe that Iran still has a few weeks of storage capacity left, and Tehran has begun to slowly reduce production to cope with this deadlock. In an interview on CNBC's 'Financial Forum,' Yellen mentioned that for the past three days, Iran has been unable to load tankers at its main oil export terminal on Khark Island due to the US blockade preventing tankers from entering and leaving the Persian Gulf. In the first month of the blockade, the US military has forced 70 vessels, reportedly heading to or from Iranian ports, to change their routes.

DeFi is not decentralised, Bank of England Policy Committee member Carolyn Wilkins said in a speech at the Centre for Blockchain Research at University College London on Wednesday. Wilkins cited a study by the NBER in April 2022, which showed that the top 10 validators held between 47% and 100% of the top 50 proof-of-stake platforms by market capitalisation in a sample. The concentration of power in [proof-of-work] and [proof-of-stake] systems, along with other flaws in crypto and DeFi governance, has led to familiar problems; most importantly, business failures, illicit activity and financial losses for investors, a situation that, if left unchecked, will erode investor trust in cryptocurrencies," he said -- based financial services and their customers, and could lead to broader financial stress."
