#Gate广场五月交易分享 Latest News in the Crypto World (Key Events in May, Directly Impacting Trends):

1. Core news that has already occurred (May 1-10):
• US spot ETFs continue to see net inflows: April attracted $2.44 billion in net inflows, the highest since October 2025, with a clear trend of institutional capital returning—providing strong support for BTC.
• ZEC surges 40%, privacy coin track takes off: On May 6, ZEC broke through $600, with a 40% gain over 24 hours. Driven by rising inflows of institutional capital and a heating “privacy” narrative, it also lifted privacy coins such as XMR in tandem.
• Musk strengthens expectations for crypto payments: On May 8, Twitter (X) CEO Musk posted hints about “integrating crypto payments.” DOGE rose more than 5% in a single day, and the MEME coin sector collectively warmed up.

2. Major upcoming events (May–June, determining the medium-term trend)
• May 14: The U.S. Senate reviews the “Clarity Act”: The crypto regulatory framework is expected to be rolled out, clarifying compliance requirements for exchanges and stablecoin issuers. Compliant coins (BTC/ETH/XRP) benefit directly, while altcoins may accelerate their clearing-out.
• May 15: Federal Reserve Chair transition: Powell steps down, and Kevin Woush takes office. The market expects the new chair to be more dovish, with the probability of a rate cut in June rising to 75%, which is positive for risk assets (in the crypto market).
• June FOMC meeting: The market broadly expects a 25BP rate cut. If delivered, it would significantly boost liquidity in the crypto market. BTC could be poised to break through $85,000, and altcoins would enter a breakout phase.
