II. Industry Updates

Macro-economic Policies

The European Central Bank raised interest rates for the first time since 2023, projecting 3% inflation in 2026, which could pressure euro liquidity and impact BTC and DeFi flows in the region.

US inflation accelerated to 4.2% in May, with energy CPI up 23.5% YoY, driving higher Treasury yields and increasing volatility in crypto markets as investors reassess risk and seek inflation hedges like BTC.

Retail inflation in India rose to 3.93% in May, mainly due to food prices, prompting the RBI to raise its inflation forecast, which may delay monetary easing and affect INR-denominated crypto trading volumes.

The UK economy contracted 0.1% in April, matching expectations and highlighting fragile growth; this uncertainty may weigh on GBP pairs and reduce institutional appetite for crypto assets in the UK market.

Commerzbank warns the Chinese yuan faces renewed pressure from rising oil prices and reserve diversification, increasing FX volatility and potentially boosting demand for crypto as a hedge in Asian markets.

Cryptocurrency Regulatory Trends

The US SEC has proposed eliminating Regulation NMS Rules 611 and 610(e), potentially removing key barriers for tokenized US stocks to trade on DeFi platforms, which could accelerate institutional adoption and innovation.

Japan's parliament has passed a bill to regulate cryptocurrencies like stocks, introducing lower taxes, insider trading rules, and enabling regulated crypto ETFs by 2027, likely boosting market legitimacy and investor confidence.

Singapore's MAS is tightening digital asset platform requirements, with SKHTU Exchange preparing for a license by enhancing KYC, AML, and risk controls, signaling stricter compliance standards for crypto exchanges in Asia.

Poland's president has vetoed the country's crypto regulation bill for the third time, risking non-compliance with the EU's MiCA framework and creating uncertainty for local crypto businesses ahead of the July 1, 2026 deadline.

Humanity (H): Surged over 13.9% in 24h, but no specific catalyst or news event identified; price action appears driven by speculative flows and high volatility.

Stargate Finance (STG): Jumped 31.1% in 24h, fueled by ongoing STG→ZRO conversion arbitrage, DeFi sector rotation, and leveraged trading activity, with daily volume exceeding $133M.

Official TRUMP (TRUMP): Rose 18.5% in 24h, supported by strong community momentum and speculative trading, with market cap surpassing $500M and increased social media engagement.
