Cryptocurrency markets in May 2026 moved quite volatile but still showed a positive trend. $BTC experienced some pressure after the Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged, causing prices to fall to around US$75,000. However, institutional investor interest remained high through active ETF fund flows.
Meanwhile, Ethereum performed even stronger. $ETH recorded a significant increase thanks to ETF inflows and rising derivatives activity, leading many analysts to open up the possibility of a rise toward the US$3,000 area.
In the altcoin sector, some projects like Chainlink, Sui, and Kaspa began to show breakout potential due to ecosystem developments and improving market sentiment.
Additionally, the theme of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization became lively again after the Ondo Finance token surged more than 13% in a day.
The market focus now shifts to U.S. regulation through the Clarity Act discussion, which is seen as capable of increasing legal clarity for the crypto industry and accelerating institutional adoption.
