The Bank of Spain warned in the Spring 2026 Financial Stability Report that widespread adoption of stablecoins could exacerbate currency substitution, expand cross-border financial flows, and amplify cross-border transmission of shocks from U.S. monetary policy and different legal jurisdictions.
The global stablecoin market cap exceeds $320 billion, with USD stablecoins accounting for 98-99%, and euro stablecoins about 0.2%; stablecoins issued across multiple jurisdictions, such as USDC and USDT, may pose risks of regulatory fragmentation and crisis management coordination.

According to The Block, CryptoQuant Moreno pointed out that Bitcoin whale and dolphin holdings have stagnated, with demand remaining weak; whale balances have decreased at the fastest rate of the year year-over-year, dolphins' growth has slowed, and monthly increases are close to zero. Long-term holder supply has reached a record high but is not a bullish signal, as short-term demand is insufficient to absorb it. Short-term holder supply has decreased to about 4.2 million since December 2025, with approximately 900k transitioning to long-term holdings from Coinbase. The market situation is similar to the bear market of March 2022.

On May 24th, in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, Haiphong Road, the atmosphere was so quiet it felt somewhat unsettling.
A week ago, this was still the "Account Opening Street" for mainland investors, with broker booths and mobile trading vans lined up side by side, crowds bustling. Hong Kong stock account openings with zero commissions, free stocks, support for IPO applications, and relaxed address proof requirements... To attract mainland clients, brokers almost lowered the thresholds to the floor.
However, just seven days later, the doors slammed shut. Now, mainland clients wanting to open a Hong Kong stock account not only have to sign a written declaration promising that the funds come from overseas and that no materials have been forged, but after signing, they might also face a rejection.
Everything changed starting May 22nd. Regulatory measures from both sides were implemented simultaneously, directly affecting millions of mainland investors who invest in overseas markets through Hong Kong brokers.
How fierce is this regulatory storm? What is the real experience of mainland residents trying to open an account in Hong Kong now?

Cambridge University team launches Articraft, an all-automatic coding system driven by intelligent agents that can autonomously write and execute code to generate movable 3D assets, iteratively optimized through physical feedback, significantly reducing creation time. Simultaneously, they open-sourced the Articraft-10K dataset, containing over 10k objects and 250 categories, with assets ready for simulation, greatly lowering the barrier for robots and physical AI to access high-quality 3D assets.

NeurIPS 2026 is calling for competition track proposals, emphasizing clear scientific questions, positive social impact (especially using AI to help vulnerable groups), and focus on evaluation of large language models/agents. Proposals must adhere to ethical standards, be within 8 pages, update the LaTeX template, submit via OpenReview, and undergo single-blind review. Those accepted will present at an in-person workshop, with analysis reports eligible for submission to the 2027 Evaluation and Dataset Track or inclusion in PMLR. Key dates: proposal deadline May 15, acceptance June 15, workshop December 11-12; recommended start in June, with a latest end in October.

ME News reports that Bitcoin rebounded over the weekend, stimulated by US-Iran news. Analysis indicates that this weekend's BTC options focus on the weakening of Gamma constraints after settlement, with around $78.5k serving as the dividing line between bulls and bears. If the short-term price holds above $77,000-$78k, it may continue to fluctuate with a slight upward bias; a volume breakout above $80k could potentially reignite buying on the Call side. Short-term implied volatility (IV) is relatively low, and a consolidation is expected. It is recommended to use Call Spreads or Put Spreads to control costs.

CryptoWorld News: Hezbollah: We used drones and missiles to attack Israeli military positions in the towns of Dabel and Rashaf in southern Lebanon, as well as around Hadassah.

PrismML releases the Ternary Bonsai series, using 1.58-bit weights {-1, 0, +1}, with GPU memory only one-ninth of a 16-bit model. The 8B/4B/1.7B sizes are open-sourced on Hugging Face and natively run on Apple devices. The 8B weights are approximately 1.75 GB, with a benchmark score of 75.5, leading among peers. On the iPhone 17 Pro Max, 8B runs at 27 tokens/sec, with a 3–4 times improvement in energy efficiency. The weights are distributed under Apache 2.0 and run natively on Apple devices via the MLX framework.

CryptoWorld News reports that according to Al Jazeera, the US and Iran are very close to reaching an agreement, but it is still too early to determine whether a final deal can be achieved. Pakistani senior officials are engaged in intensive negotiations. The newspaper quoted a senior Iranian official as saying that negotiators are very close to reaching an agreement and are currently drafting the text. Meanwhile, another source also stated that it is still too early to judge whether a serious final agreement can be reached.

CryptoWorld News reports that the governor of Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, stated that the region is under drone attack.

BlockBeats states that Prime Intellect conducts a two-week autonomous AI research, with Codex and Claude Code self-iterating in the nanoGPT speed race to achieve validation loss in the fewest steps. After approximately 10k experiments and 14k hours of computation, Opus set a new record with 2,930 steps (human 2,990 steps). However, experiments reveal the boundaries of AI agents: in branches requiring new algorithms, neither can propose ideas without relying on existing human code or papers. Breakthroughs depend on massive combinations and scans of open-source technologies. Claude often violates autonomous operation and stops itself during long tasks; Codex, while capable of running all day, easily falls into infinite loops and exhaustively searches the same hyperparameter space for extended periods. Conclusion: cutting-edge models still require humans to provide clues for algorithmic innovation.
