II. Industry Updates
Macro-economic Policies
1.
The EU announced its 21st sanctions package against Russia, targeting banks, energy, and crypto networks, which may disrupt cross-border capital flows and increase volatility in crypto markets.
2.
Germany's factory orders dropped 3.8% in April, signaling deepening industrial weakness in the Eurozone and increasing the likelihood of ECB monetary easing, which could pressure the euro and boost BTC as a non-sovereign asset.
3.
The Reserve Bank of India’s forex defense tool surpassed $110 billion as the rupee hit record lows, prompting aggressive intervention that may drive Indian demand for crypto as a hedge against currency depreciation.
4.
Japan's Q1 GDP grew at an annualized 1.8%, but business investment contracted, raising caution ahead of the Bank of Japan's June policy meeting, which could impact global liquidity and risk appetite for digital assets.
5.
The Australian dollar strengthened on the Reserve Bank of Australia's hawkish stance, widening the yield gap with the US and supporting AUD-denominated crypto flows, while upcoming US and China data may trigger further FX and crypto volatility.
Cryptocurrency Regulatory Trends

The UK FCA has proposed allowing retail investment funds to allocate up to 10% of assets to crypto ETNs, signaling growing regulatory acceptance and potentially boosting institutional demand for regulated crypto products.

Over 200 US crypto firms have urged the Senate to pass the CLARITY Act, which would clarify SEC and CFTC oversight; passage odds have dropped to 60%, raising uncertainty for US crypto market structure.
4.
