On May 26, Bloomberg reported that the resolutions of disputed contracts on Polymarket are being dominated by a small number of UMA holders. Bloomberg's statistics show that among over 6,400 addresses that participated in voting on Polymarket dispute resolutions over the past three years, just 9 major wallets contributed approximately half of the UMA voting power and sided with the winning side in almost all disputes. As of April 2026, around 230 contracts with a total trading volume exceeding $1 billion entered the dispute resolution process, accounting for less than 1% of all contracts on Polymarket, but the frequency of disputes increases with the scale of trading. Some traders criticize that this mechanism effectively grants anonymous whales a fact-determining power driven by economic interests, while Polymarket and Risk Labs, responsible for UMA, had originally promised to improve the related processes, which have now been shelved.

On May 26, the Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission published a consultation summary regarding the regulatory framework for providing advice and managing virtual assets. The proposed advisory and licensing regime for virtual assets received broad support from the market during the consultation period. Following the principle of 'same business, same risks, same rules,' the new licensing regime will align with the scope of regulated activities under Class 4 (advising on securities) and Class 9 (asset management) of the Securities and Futures Ordinance. Along with the proposed licensing regime for virtual asset trading and custody, this series of new regulations will enhance participation in Hong Kong's digital asset market and contribute to building a robust and secure ecosystem under the SFC's 'ASPIRe' roadmap.

On May 26, as the U.S. suicide drones guided by Elon Musk's Starlink network began to achieve significant results in the Iran war, SpaceX executives concluded that the Pentagon should pay higher fees for satellite Wi-Fi network usage. According to two insiders and Pentagon documents, weeks after the U.S. initiated bombing operations, SpaceX executives met with Pentagon officials and argued that the military currently pays about $5,000 per terminal connection, while actually utilizing a higher-tier service valued at nearly $25,000. Interviews with five insiders and related documents indicate that the controversy surrounding the use of Starlink on the LUCAS suicide drones is merely a reflection of the increasingly tense relationship between SpaceX and the Pentagon over Starlink pricing issues in recent months.

On May 26, analyst Murphy indicated that by observing the 'short-term capital on-chain activity weight' (the proportion of the dollar value represented by short-term trading volume), we can assess the current state of the BTC market. This indicator reflects the latest short-term trading behaviors such as speculation, arbitrage, profit-taking, or panic selling. Currently, this weight has dropped to a historically low level, only seen in the bottom regions of bear markets over the past 15 years, indicating a significant cooling of short-term trading and a shift of economic value towards long-term holdings. The market is characterized by low volatility, accumulation, or clear bottom features. The analyst assesses that the current market may be in one of three stages: the bottom of a bear market; a secondary bottom, which may see one last drop; or accumulation before the start of a bull market. However, under rational judgment, the accumulation before a bull market can be temporarily ruled out. It is currently not advisable to bet all funds on a single scenario; a diversified position strategy is recommended to cope with different outcomes, as the relative position in the long-term trend indicates that Bitcoin is near the bottom.

On May 26, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting reported that some foreign media outlets claimed Iran and the United States had reached a 14-point understanding memorandum, which is "pure fabrication and baseless." The report stated that several hours earlier, some media claimed to have obtained the final draft of the Iran-U.S. understanding memorandum, which involved issues such as opening the Strait of Hormuz, initiating nuclear negotiations, and unfreezing Iran's frozen assets, but these claims are not true. According to monitoring by PolyBeats, the probability of a "permanent peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran" on the prediction market Polymarket has seen a short-term decline, with the probability being 26% before May 31 and 56% before June 30.

On May 26, Reuters reported that the EU plans to impose a fine on Google amounting to nearly €1 billion, which would be the largest fine issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). An official announcement is expected before the summer break. The investigation was formally launched in March 2025, with the core accusation being that Google prioritizes its own services in search results, violating relevant DMA regulations. The European Commission stated that its primary goal is to ensure Google's compliance rather than merely pursuing fines, but emphasized that it will not hesitate in advancing subsequent steps. Google criticized the DMA regulations for causing the 'largest downgrade in history' to its search products and expressed a desire to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin self-custody company Casa said Tuesday it raised $21 million in a push to add financial identity functionality to its signature wallet product.
Casa builds what is known as a “self-custody” bitcoin wallet that leaves users in control of their private keys. This differs from the custodial model employed by exchanges that take control of the crypto asset, and is favored by bitcoin diehards who live by the “be your own bank” mantra.
With the new round closed, Casa said it wants to make wallets more intertwined with their owner’s digital fingerprint. Its new “Casa API” will help businesses such as Swan Bitcoin and Choice IRA authenticate their customers’ financial identity when approving loans or making retirement investments, a press release said.
