HTX Pizza Day Celebration: $200,000 Up for Grabs

Oil markets slid over the Memorial Day weekend as President Trump said a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is “largely negotiated,” pulling Brent crude below $99 while bitcoin held near $77,000 with U.S. stock exchanges shuttered for the holiday.

Key Takeaways:

Brent crude fell below $99 on May 24 as Trump declared a U.S.-Iran deal “largely negotiated,” targeting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

JPMorgan forecasts Brent averaging $60 long-term if tensions ease, with WTI potentially sliding into the $80s on confirmed supply restoration.

Bitcoin held near $77,000 through the Memorial Day weekend as crypto markets stayed open while NYSE, CME, and bond markets will be closed on May 25.

Brent crude dropped roughly 4.87% in weekend CFD trading to around $98.87, extending a pullback from Friday’s settlement near $103. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) July 2026 contract closed Friday at $97.00, up 0.67% on the session, though weekend indications pointed lower. Earlier in May, Brent had traded above $110 on supply fears tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict before retreating sharply each time talks advanced.

The Strait of Hormuz remains the pivot point. The waterway carries roughly 20% of global oil trade, and Iranian restrictions alongside U.S. naval actions have cut off more than 10 million barrels per day at peak disruption levels since fighting escalated in late February. Each round of ceasefire signals has knocked prices down by double digits in single sessions.

Trump’s weekend statements added weight to bearish sentiment. The president remarked that a deal is close, with terms expected to include a 60-day ceasefire extension, potential sanctions relief, and deferred nuclear talks. Iran has submitted revised proposals, and regional players, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are reportedly involved in the process. Sti

Bitcoin Mining Could Help Solve Europe’s Solar Power Glut, Says Bitmain Founder Jihan Wu

Jihan Wu, the founder of Bitmain and Bitdeer, has proposed a novel solution to one of Europe’s growing energy challenges: using Bitcoin mining operations to absorb surplus solar power. In a post on his X account, Wu argued that the rapid expansion of solar energy across the continent has created a serious imbalance between supply and grid capacity, leading to wasted electricity and eroded profitability for renewable energy producers.

The Solar Cannibalization Problem in Europe
Europe has seen a surge in solar panel installations over the past decade, driven by ambitious climate targets and falling hardware costs. However, this growth has outpaced the grid’s ability to adapt. During peak sunlight hours, solar farms often generate more electricity than the grid can handle, forcing operators to curtail production or sell at negative prices. This phenomenon, known as solar cannibalization, undermines the economic viability of new projects and slows the transition to cleaner energy.

Wu described the situation as having reached a serious level, noting that while battery storage, grid expansion, and demand-response programs are essential long-term fixes, they are not yet deployed at the scale needed. He suggested that Bitcoin miners, which require large amounts of continuous, flexible power, could act as an immediate and ready buyer for this excess electricity.

A Flexible Demand Solution
Bitcoin mining operations are uniquely suited to absorb surplus energy because they can be turned on and off quickly, ramping up consumption when power is abundant and cheap, and shutting down when demand spikes or prices rise. This flexibility contrasts with most industrial consumers, which require steady, predictable power supplies. Wu argued that a properly designed, flexible power demand could serve as the ultimate buyer for excess renewable energy, stabilizing the market and improving returns fo

Kalshi backs prediction markets lobby group with former Trump officialKalshi has backed a new lobbying group for prediction markets called Americans for Fair Markets, which has tapped former deputy White House chief of staff Taylor Budowich as its strategic advisor.

Kalshi said on Friday that the organization is positioning itself against sportsbooks and casinos, which it claims are “focused on protecting their monopolies and seeding lies about prediction markets to policymakers.”

Americans for Fair Markets, which Kalshi said was launched with its support, would join a broader lobbying push that includes the Coalition for Prediction Markets, an advocacy group for prediction markets launched in December 2025, backed by Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Robinhood.

Kalshi said the organization aims to shape federal policy on prediction markets and would run paid campaigns on what it claimed were “false narratives about prediction markets.”

The launch of the group came on the same day that the US House launched a probe into Kalshi and its main rival, Polymarket, over how the companies were handling insider trading, as prediction markets come under increased scrutiny in the US and abroad.

Budowich’s appointment as an advisor comes as US President Donald Trump has expressed mixed takes on prediction markets. Trump said last month that he was “not happy” with prediction markets over well-timed Iran war bets.

However, Trump, whose son Donald Trump Jr. invested in Polymarket and joined the company’s advisory board and is an adviser to Kalshi, softened his stance days later, saying the US would “get left out in the cold” if it didn’t allow the platforms.

Kalshi said that Americans for Fair Markets will support the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in regulating prediction markets.

Harvard University Sold Some Bitcoin and Ethereum in Q1. Should You?

Some investors are concerned that the sales are a sign of renewed institutional skittishness about key cryptoassets.

Key Points

Harvard's endowment just sold all of its Ethereum and some of its Bitcoin holdings.

Those sales may or may not be linked to the institution's bearishness about those coins.

There are still plenty of reasons to be bullish about both assets.
