Chris Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, stated at the Vatican on May 25 during the release of Pope Leo XIV's first AI-themed encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas" that there are three core risks of the AI era that must be taken seriously: First, artificial intelligence may massively replace human labor, and how to assist the unemployed and ensure that the benefits of AI reach vulnerable global populations remains an unresolved issue; second, with the widespread adoption of large models, how humanity, families, children, and future professions can achieve true prosperity is no longer just a technical problem; finally, AI models are exhibiting phenomena similar to human neural structures, self-reflection, and emotional states, and these unknown and unsettling discoveries warrant ongoing societal discussion.

On May 26, the rulings on controversial contracts on Polymarket are being dominated by a small number of UMA holders. Statistics show that among over 6,400 addresses that participated in Polymarket's dispute resolution voting over the past three years, only 9 whale addresses contributed about half of the UMA voting power and have sided with the winning side in nearly 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 trading volume. Some traders criticize that this mechanism effectively grants anonymous whales a fact-based decision-making power driven by economic interests, while Polymarket and Risk Labs, responsible for UMA, had originally promised to improve the related processes, which has now been shelved.

On May 26, analyst Darkfost pointed out that Bitcoin's spot trading volume has plummeted by 81% since October 2025, returning to the low levels seen during the July 2023 bear market. The macro environment remains unfavorable for risk assets: rising inflation pressures and the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict have led investors to shift towards commodities and traditional stock markets rather than the crypto market, significantly reducing overall market participation. Despite the substantial contraction in spot volume, the sluggish trading activity may indicate that the selling pressure behind the current price pullback is gradually weakening. Historically, similar spot volume collapses have occurred before the end of bear markets in 2023, followed by a return of volatility and the onset of a bull market rebound. Investors should patiently await a future recovery in spot demand and an increase in leverage demand, while also paying attention to macro signals and changes in trading volume to assess whether this is a brewing phase for new opportunities.

On May 26, Reuters reported that the European Union plans to impose a fine on Google amounting to nearly €1 billion, which would be the largest penalty issued under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The announcement is expected to be made before the summer break. The investigation officially began in March 2025, with the main allegation being that Google prioritized 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 solely pursuing fines, but emphasized that it will not hesitate in advancing subsequent steps. Google criticized the DMA regulations for causing the largest downgrade to its search products in history and expressed a desire to resolve the dispute quickly.

A top Bank of England official has doubled down on claims that new technologies such as digital currencies could present lucrative new opportunities for businesses.
Ben Broadbent, deputy governor for monetary policy, said the UK central bank’s “keenest attention” was focused on the regulatory implications of new payments technologies.
“The experience of digitalization so far is that new products and services enabled by new technologies can be adopted very rapidly at scale,” he said Monday at the start of a BOE research conference.  “This obviously brings opportunities for financial institutions, for businesses, for individuals.  We would expect to see continued improvements, reductions in friction and cost of payment.”
BOE and UK Treasury officials are exploring the case for a central bank digital currency, dubbed Britcoin, which would operate similar to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin but would be backed by central bank reserves.
