The conversation around digital assets is shifting. In his latest update, BTC Markets Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stonham discusses how, for much of the past decade, attention centred on price cycles, volatility, and speculation. But beneath that, a more fundamental change has been taking shape, one that is now beginning to drive the next phase of market growth. At its core, tokenisation is about restructuring how capital is formed and how markets operate, expanding what can be invested in, who can participate, and how assets move through the financial system. Paul will join the panel at the @DECAustralia (DECA) Conference on Tuesday 16 June at 1:35pm to discuss ‘From Physical Assets to On-Chain Capital’. Read the full update: go.btcmarkets.net/3QhQtYa

BTC Markets VIP Desk Update as of 1st June 2026: ​ • Friday's US non-farm payrolls report dominates the week. A weak print is the most credible near-term catalyst for a sentiment shift across risk assets.​ • BTC and ETH spot ETFs shed US$2 billion (A$2.78 billion) combined in late May, while XRP funds bucked the trend with US$35 million (A$48.6 million) in inflows. Selective rotation, not a clean exit.​ • The CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking Committee markup after stablecoin yield provisions were resolved. A full Senate floor vote remains the final hurdle. Polymarket currently assigns an 85% probability of passage in 2026.​ • The CFTC approved the first regulated Bitcoin perpetual futures contract in US history. KalshiEX's BTCPERP brings offshore perpetual futures markets onshore for the first time.​ Read more: go.btcmarkets.net/4dH23VN Subscribe to our weekly newsletter: go.btcmarkets.net/4dI5iMR

“From what I can see this looks like a liquidation event driven by a confluence of geopolitical shock and over-leveraged long positioning,” said @Rachael_M_Lucas, an analyst at BTC Markets. “A clean break below $70,000 would likely trigger a significant and self-reinforcing wave of stop-losses and liquidations.” Read the full article on @business, published on 28 May 2026: go.btcmarkets.net/4vmoLbX

29 May 2026 - Daily crypto wrap: Bitcoin dropped to low of US$72,582, its lowest level since mid-April. The move lower was triggered by a fresh escalation in US-Iran tensions, with military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz driving a spike in oil prices and a broad pullback in risk assets. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their worst outflow stretch of 2026, with US$2.26 billion exiting over eight consecutive trading days. @BlackRock's IBIT saw its second-largest single-day outflow on record at US$527.8M. @ethereum followed, falling below US$2,000 for the first time since late March, with ETH ETFs logging nearly US$500M in outflows across 11-12 consecutive days. Amid the macro headwinds, institutional adoption of blockchain infrastructure continued to advance. The DTCC announced plans to integrate its tokenised securities platform with Stellar by H1 2027, validating blockchain's role in traditional finance. VanEck also launched the first US spot BNB ETF on Nasdaq, further expanding the regulated crypto ETP landscape. Key level to watch: BTC's ability to hold the US$72,000-73,000 zone will be critical in the near term. @BTCMarkets

BTC Markets Weekly Crypto Wrap as of 28th May 2026: ​ • Bitcoin fell toward US$74,260 (A$103,964) as geopolitical tensions intensified​ • ETF outflows reached US$2.26 billion (A$3.16 billion) across two weeks​ • Ethereum remained under pressure despite large institutional accumulation activity​ • Hyperliquid’s HYPE token reached new highs as inflows accelerated rapidly​ • Stablecoin infrastructure adoption expanded across Mastercard, SoFi, and Cash App​ • The CLARITY Act advanced further through the US Senate process​ Read more: go.btcmarkets.net/4dBSOX4​ ​Subscribe to our weekly newsletter: ​go.btcmarkets.net/4nZaCiq

28 May 2026 - Daily crypto wrap: A challenging 24 hours for crypto markets as macro headwinds weighed on sentiment. Bitcoin dipped toward US$74,260 amid renewed US-Iran tensions and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz, which handles roughly 20-25% of global oil shipments. Risk assets broadly felt the pressure, though BTC showed relative resilience compared to traditional markets. @ethereum continued to face selling pressure, trading around US$2,016 as spot ETFs extended their outflow streak to 11 consecutive days. That said, Bitmine's US$238M purchase of 111,942 ETH is a notable countersignal, institutional conviction at scale doesn't disappear quietly. The standout mover was HYPE, reaching a new all-time high above US$64, up 25% on the week. Spot ETF inflows absorbed over 1% of market cap in just 10 trading days, a debut outpacing BTC, ETH, and @solana ETF launches on a relative basis. On the regulatory front, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act cleared Senate Banking Committee, a meaningful step toward a federal framework for digital assets. Key level to watch: BTC US$75,800, the Head and Shoulders neckline. How price responds here will shape near-term direction. @BTCMarkets

27 May 2026 - Daily crypto wrap: Bitcoin is holding in the US$75,000-$77,000 range as geopolitical risk continues to dominate the macro picture. US strikes on Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz triggered a sharp move from US$78,000 to below US$76,000, with approximately US$300 million in futures liquidations recorded. With 20% of global oil supply transiting that corridor, energy prices and inflation expectations remain a live headwind for risk assets. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded US$1.26 billion in outflows last week, the third-largest weekly redemption of 2026, with @BlackRock's IBIT accounting for US$1.01 billion of that figure. @ethereum ETFs shed a further US$216 million. That said, appetite remains active in alternative crypto products: XRP funds attracted US$116.74 million in May, while HYPE-linked ETFs saw 8 consecutive days of inflows totalling US$54 million. On the corporate treasury front, @MicroStrategy retired US$1.5 billion in convertible debt at an 8% discount without selling a single bitcoin, maintaining its 843,738 BTC position. A clear signal of conviction in the capital structure. Key level to watch: BTC US$75,500 as near-term support. A reclaim of US$80,000 with volume would shift momentum back to bulls. @BTCMarkets

26 May 2026 - Daily crypto wrap: Bitcoin is navigating a complex macro backdrop this week, with US 30-year Treasury yields touching 5.197%, the highest since 2007, resetting the opportunity cost calculus for non-yielding assets. Despite that headwind, BTC rebounded 3% toward US$77,000 as US-Iran peace deal optimism lifted risk sentiment broadly, with oil dropping 5-6% and Asian equities rallying. @ethereum is trading near US$2,100-2,150, facing continued pressure from ETF outflows and Layer-2 fee dynamics, though it retains a dominant 55% share of the US$190 billion stablecoin market, a structural anchor worth noting. The standout mover this week is HYPE, which surged to a new all-time high above US$64, briefly entering the top 10 by market cap. Its buyback mechanism, directing 99% of trading fees into HYPE purchases, is generating genuine momentum, with US$72M in fresh ETF inflows. On the institutional front, the SEC has conditionally approved Nasdaq's Bitcoin index options (QBTC), a meaningful step toward accessible crypto risk management for smaller institutions and retail. Key level to watch: BTC US$78,500. A close above that level with volume would shift near-term momentum. @BTCMarkets
