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.

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 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.
