📰 *BitMine’s $126M Ethereum buy sets up a Russell index test tied to $12.2T in assets*

BitMine bought an additional 60,000 ETH worth about $126 million as Ethereum traded near $2,000, extending one of the largest corporate accumulation strategies tied to the second-largest digital asset. The purchase came just as the firm was named to the preliminary list for the Russell 1000 Index, positioning the crypto holder to capture a slice of the $12.2 trillion in assets benchmarked against Russell US Indexes. Why BitMine is adding to its Ethereum holdings during current selloff On May 23, blockchain analyst EmberCN reported BitMine's latest ETH purchase was executed through BitGo and Kraken. BitMine Latest ETH Purchase (Source: EmberCN/X) The purchase lifted BitMine’s Ethereum holdings to more than 5.2 million ETH, valued at roughly $11.1 billion at current market prices. The company has continued to accumulate even as ETH trades near $2,000, which is about 60% below its August 2025 record high of $4,953. Notably, this latest purchase occurs about two weeks after the company signaled its intent to slow the pace of its ETH accumulation. However, BitMine Chairman Thomas Lee previously described ETH’s recent decline below $2,200 as an attractive entry point. According to him, the pullback has provided an opportunity to add to its ETH exposure ahead of any potential recovery in digital assets. Lee stated that the recent regulatory developments around the CLARITY Act could bolster growth in the emerging industry. As a result, his firm has continued to increase its exposure

📰 *MiCA Compliant Euro Stablecoin Depegs to $0.85 After 1-of-3 Multisig Exploit Drains Millions*

Key Takeaways StablR’s EURR dropped to $0.85, and USDR fell between $0.40 to $0.64 on May 24 after attackers minted unbacked tokens.

A 1-of-3 multisig threshold reportedly let attackers hijack minting controls, draining roughly $2.8M in ETH.

Onchain observers flagged StablR’s alleged weak multisig setup as a governance risk that MiCA regulation did not prevent.

EURR Drops 24%, and USDR Falls 37% as StablR’s Two Stablecoins Depeg After Key Exploit

Reports say the breach did not stem from a smart contract flaw. Attackers reportedly gained access to a single private key controlling a 1-of-3 multisig wallet that governed StablR’s minting function. With one key, the attacker removed legitimate signers, added a controlled address, and issued tokens without collateral backing.

At 8:10 a.m. ET on Sunday, StablR addressed the issue on X, stating:

“Security update: We have identified an exploit affecting StablR and are actively working to contain it and minimize impact. Protecting our users and your funds is our top priority. We’ll share verified details and next steps as soon as possible.”

Onchain analysts estimated the attacker minted approximately 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR before selling them across DEX trading pairs with thin liquidity. The extracted value was reported at roughly 1,115 ETH, equivalent to approximately $2.8 million, though total unbacked token issuance may have reached $10.4 million.

The selling pressure broke both pegs quickly. EURR fell to ...

📰 *Crypto rails are becoming the default payment layer for AI agents, report says*

Artificial intelligence (AI) agents autonomously spending money online is still a tiny market, but some of the world's largest tech, payments and crypto firms are already racing to build the infrastructure for it, Keyrock said in a new report.

The crypto trading and investment firm estimated that AI agents settled over $73 million across roughly 176 million transactions on blockchain rails between May 2025 and April 2026.

The volumes remain negligible compared to traditional finance (TradFi). Visa, for example, alone processes $14.5 trillion annually. But the significance lies less in the headline U.S. dollar value and more in how quickly the infrastructure stack is forming, the report argued. Global firms such as Coinbase (COIN), Stripe, Google (GOOG) and Visa (V) all rolled out competing systems for machine-to-machine payments.

The broader idea behind agentic payments is that software increasingly consumes digital services autonomously rather than through human-managed subscriptions and accounts. An AI trading agent, for example, could continuously purchase market data, cloud computing or AI-generated analysis in tiny increments throughout the day without a human authorizing each payment manually.

That potential is driving ambitious forecasts how big the agentic payment sector could grow. Gartner projects AI agents could intermediate $15 trillion in purchases by 2028, while McKinsey estimated retail agentic commerce could reach $3 trillion-$5 trillion by 2030, accord...

📰 *CFTC officials who questioned prediction markets were suspended: NYT*

A New York Times investigation found that senior CFTC officials who raised concerns about Polymarket, Crypto.com and Gemini were suspended and pushed out.

Senior officials at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission who raised concerns about prediction market companies were suspended, investigated and eventually pushed out of the agency.

According to a New York Times investigation published Sunday, the officials had flagged concerns about Polymarket, Crypto.com and a Gemini affiliate, each with alleged business ties to the Trump family. Career staff worried that Crypto.com was not treating small bettors fairly, that Polymarket lacked adequate fraud protections and that Gemini’s affiliate had not completed the required regulatory review to operate.

Despite those concerns, then-acting CFTC chair Caroline Pham and her senior counsel intervened to help the firms get what they wanted, sources told the NYT. By the end of 2025, two officials who had raised questions were placed on administrative leave and under internal investigation. Three others who had enforced crypto laws faced the same fate. None were told what they had done wrong.

“But current and former agency staffers said in interviews that the commission’s work force took away a clear message: Don’t cause trouble for those industries,” the report wrote.

📰 *Tether’s $141 billion Treasury pile reveals the stablecoin risk now embedded in US debt*

There's a huge contradiction sitting at the center of modern American finance. The same industry regulators tried to isolate from the mainstream financial system has become one of the largest US Treasury buyers on the planet. Tether , the company behind the world's largest stablecoin USDT, closed 2025 with total direct and indirect exposure to US Treasuries surpassing $141 billion , making it one of the largest holders of American government debt worldwide. The company itself said it was the 17th largest overall, and the largest non-sovereign holder of US debt, a ranking that makes some policymakers nervous and others genuinely relieved. The US government spent years debating whether to ban digital assets like stablecoins, restrict them, or treat them as a fringe curiosity. Then, finally, after over a decade of a legal standstill, it signed legislation designed to make stablecoins part of the US financial system. The GENIUS Act , signed into law by President Trump on July 18, 2025, after passing the Senate 68-30 and the House 308-122, established the first federal regulatory framework for stablecoins in US history. Its core requirement is that stablecoin issuers must maintain 100% reserve backing with liquid assets like US dollars or short-term Treasuries, with monthly public disclosures of reserve composition. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called that provision a “debt relief engine” on the day the Senate voted, saying that stablecoin reserves parked largely i

📰 *Bitcoin’s Fed cut trade flips as bond market turns into the risk*

Bloomberg reported on May 22 that bond traders are fully pricing in a Fed interest rate hike by year-end, with interest rate swaps implying the Fed's benchmark rate at least 25 basis points higher by the end of 2026. The same day, Fed Governor Christopher Waller said the Fed should remove its easing bias and called rate cut talk “crazy” as inflation held above target and the labor market stayed stable. Bitcoin lost the $76,000 footing on May 22, a move tied to US-Iran uncertainty and the repricing of Fed rate expectations. That price action captures only part of the macro repricing underway, as the rate-cut tailwind that supported risk assets through much of early 2026 has become a rate-hike risk, and the bond market has taken over the job of setting financial conditions before the Fed makes a formal move. Kevin Warsh took the oath as Fed chair on May 22, with the FOMC selecting him unanimously. A five-step timeline traces how Bitcoin's macro backdrop moved from rate-cut tailwind to 58% hike probability on May 22, with the 10-year yield hitting 4.69%. Nomura dropped its 2026 Fed rate cut forecast on persistent inflation and geopolitical risks, while CME FedWatch pricing showed roughly a 58% chance of at least one 25-basis-point hike by the end of the year. Long-term Treasury yields had already been climbing before bond traders fully priced a hike, with the 30-year yield reaching 5.201%, its highest since 2007, while the 10-year yield hit 4.69%, its highest since J

The promotional video triggered instant mockery for grammatical errors, an AI-generated avatar of Minister Sandra Pettovello, a Singaporean flag, and a visible Amazon AWS logo.

Opposition politicians filed formal information requests, and privacy experts warned the system lacks a governance framework and could enable algorithmic surveillance at scale.

Add Decrypt as your preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.

Bitcoin is starting to rebound after a rocky night that saw the top cryptocurrency by market cap dive below $75,000 for the first time in over a month, dipping as low as $74,344 in the early hours of Saturday.

The coin is currently trading around $75,500, showing a 1.8% drop over the last 24 hours and 2.7% in the last week. Bitcoin had traded above the $80,000 mark as recently as last week before leading a broader crypto market dip in the days since.

Other major cryptocurrencies are showing similar declines, with Ethereum falling 2.7% in the last day to a recent price of $2,059 and Solana declining over 3% to a price of $84.

Thanks to Bitcoin's overnight dip below the $75,000 mark, a growing pile of crypto futures positions has been liquidated in the last day. CoinGlass currently shows $917 million worth of liquidations during the past 24 hours, led by Bitcoin with $371 million worth and Ethereum at about $261 million worth.

Mozilla unveiled Project Nova on May 21—a full visual overhaul of Firefox rolling out later this year. The redesign is cleaner, warmer, and faster, featuring rounded tabs, a refreshed color palette inspired by fire, and compact mode finally making a comeback. But the headline feature for a growing slice of users isn't the aesthetics.

It's an anti-AI switch.

Mozilla is redesigning its settings with plain-language controls that make privacy choices easier to act on—including, per the official announcement, "controls for turning off AI features entirely." No buried menus. No dark patterns. Just an off button.

William Mougayar says critics are measuring the Ethereum Foundation by the wrong standard, claiming it was never meant to pump ETH or court institutions.

A blockchain researcher has pushed back against growing criticism of the Ethereum Foundation, arguing that the organization is doing “exactly” what it was designed to do, which the critics keep getting wrong.

In a post on X titled “Leave the Foundation Alone,” William Mougayar, a Toronto-based blockchain investor, researcher and best-selling author, argued that the EF is a protocol steward, not a marketing engine.

Mougayar said that ETH, Ethereum and the Ethereum Foundation are three separate entities with three separate trajectories. “The asset is money. The infrastructure is shared compute. The Foundation is a non-profit that is steering the protocol toward irrelevance for its own founders,” he wrote, adding that confusing the three leads to bad predictions and misplaced anger.

The post comes as the foundation has faced a wave of criticism from the crypto community in recent months. ETH sales, unstaking moves and public silence have drawn repeated accusations that the organization is harming ETH’s price performance.

Ethereum at a Crossroads: Leadership Crisis

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency project, is now in the spotlight after its foundation lost 9 prominent figureheads, prompting discussions about the organization’s validity in today’s dynamic crypto environment.

The departure of at least 9 leaders and investigators at the Ethereum Foundation has worried the community about the lack of leadership the organization has exposed, questioning its role as the era of stewardship of Ethereum comes to an end.

This Week in Crypto Law

The opinion editorial below was written by Alex Forehand and Michael Handelsman for Kelman.Law.

We’re back after a week off. This week in crypto law may ultimately be remembered as a turning point in how governments view digital assets. Policymakers are no longer debating whether crypto belongs within the financial system—they are now actively determining how it will be regulated, integrated, and controlled. From major U.S. legislation and SEC policy shifts to escalating jurisdictional battles and national-security concerns, the legal framework surrounding digital assets continues to evolve rapidly.

Senate Committee Advances the CLARITY Act

The United States Senate Banking Committee advanced the long-awaited CLARITY Act, marking one of the most significant legislative steps yet toward defining the regulatory status of digital assets. The legislation seeks to establish clearer lines between assets regulated as securities by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and those treated as commodities under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. After years of regulatory ambiguity, lawmakers appear focused on building a formal market structure framework. The debate is increasingly centered not on whether crypto should exist, but on which regulator controls which parts of the industry.

Rising short-term bond yields and Warsh's hawkish comments in the past are reviving fears of a December rate hike, which could slam the brakes on Bitcoin's recovery.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $74,190 on Saturday, its lowest level in more than a month, despite pro-crypto Kevin Warsh being sworn in as Federal Reserve chairman a day earlier.

Key takeaways:

Higher odds of a rate hike in 2026 are pressuring the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin has historically struggled during years marked by Federal Reserve leadership changes.

Why is Bitcoin down despite a pro-crypto Fed chair?

Bitcoin’s sell-off came as the 2-year US Treasury yield climbed to 4.14%, its highest level since February 2025.

US 2-year bond yield daily chart. Source: TradingView

The 2-year yield is closely tied to where traders expect the federal funds rate to move in the near term. Its move above the Fed’s current 3.50%–3.75% target range suggests markets are no longer betting on quick easing under Warsh.

CME data shows traders now expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged for most of 2026, with futures pricing pointing to a possible 25 basis point hike in December.

Is Crypto a Security?

As courts, regulators, and market participants continue to wrestle with applying decades-old legal doctrines to blockchain-based assets, this series breaks down the core principles shaping the modern landscape—from the Howey test and so-called utility tokens, to secondary-market transactions, DeFi, staking, NFTs, and the shifting regulatory posture of the SEC and CFTC.

The goal is to provide a practical, legally-grounded framework for understanding how U.S. law is adapting to crypto in real time.

Part I: The Howey Test

U.S. securities law does not contain a dedicated statute for digital assets. Instead, the SEC and courts continue to apply the “investment contract” doctrine from SEC v. W.J. Howey Co.—a 1946 Supreme Court case involving orange groves, not distributed ledgers. Despite that anachronism, Howey remains the primary analytical tool for determining whether a token sale, issuance, or distribution triggers federal securities laws in the United States.

It is important to note that the Howey definition of an investment contract is merely one of the dozens of assets that qualify as a security subject to SEC regulation. The SEC has made clear that tokenized securities—be that a tokenized bond, stock, or security-based swap—are still securitie...

LegalBison advises crypto and FinTech companies on MiCA licensing, CASP and VASP applications, and regulatory structuring across Europe and beyond.

The Myth: All Major Crypto Frameworks Are Converging Toward the Same Model

When founders compare jurisdictions, the conversation usually goes one of two ways. Either they treat regulatory regimes as roughly equivalent, differing only by cost and timeline, or they treat them as wholly incomparable, each so unique that comparison is meaningless. Neither position is accurate.

The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) framework, and Singapore’s licensing regime under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2022 (FSM Act) and the Payment Services Act 2019 (PS Act) share a resemblance from the outside. All three require licensing. All three impose fit-and-proper assessments, capital requirements, and anti-money laundering controls. All three claim to balance innovation with consumer protection.

But beyond the similarity, each regime reflects a specific regulatory philosophy, a specific theory of who crypto risk falls on and why, and a specific answer to the question of what a licensed crypto firm actually is. These differences are not procedural details. They determine whether a specific business mo...

Binance CEO Richard Teng denied a new WSJ report alleging $850 million in Iran-linked transactions flowed through the exchange to the IRGC.

Binance CEO Richard Teng has pushed back against a new Wall Street Journal investigation claiming the exchange processed $850 million in transactions tied to a sanctioned Iranian financier, which eventually flowed to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In a Friday post on X, Teng called the reporting “fundamentally inaccurate,” saying that Binance never permitted transactions with sanctioned individuals and that any flagged activity occurred before those individuals were placed under US sanctions. He also claimed Binance had investigated the issues before the Journal contacted the company, and that facts it provided were not included in the story.

The Journal’s report, published on Thursday, identified Babak Zanjani, who was re-sanctioned by the US in January, as the central figure in a secret crypto payment network that ran $850 million through Binance accounts over two years. Zanjani’s firm Zedcex, along with accounts belonging to his sister, romantic partner and a company director, all operated from the same devices, per the report.
