According to ChainCatcher news, data from on-chain analysis agency Arkham shows that more than $1 billion of Bitcoin outflows from Bhutan-related wallets in the past year, and funds flowed to multiple trading platforms and trading institutions, and their positions fell from about 13,000 BTC to about 3,100 BTC. Arkham speculates that there may be a continuous reduction in holdings, and if the trend continues, the relevant addresses may empty their positions by October 2026. However, Bhutan's sovereign fund Druk Holding and Investments (DHI) said it "does not remember any recent Bitcoin sales" and did not respond to specific on-chain address changes, nor did it confirm the current position size, only emphasizing that there was no additional explanation for the time being. The report pointed out that some of the capital inflow paths are related to institutions such as Galaxy Digital and OKX, so the market tends to interpret them as selling or over-the-counter transactions, but there is also the possibility of transferring to non-selling such as custody, mortgage or structured trading. At the same time, some trading institutions said that there has been no clear selling recently. Additionally, Bhutan's previously pledged 10,000 BTC reserve size for the "Gelephu Mindfulness City" project has also been questioned due to potential reductions. At present, there are still big differences between its real positions and mining operations.

Odaily Planet Daily News Barclays analysts pointed out that the prediction market is threatening other speculative investment vehicles and is already a fierce competitor to leveraged ETPs. Data shows that since the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the monthly notional trading volume of prediction platforms has continued to grow, with Kalshi and Polymarket exceeding $24 billion in nominal trading volume in April, almost comparable to the size of the "call oversubscription strategy" of indices and individual stocks, compared with only $5 billion a year ago. According to the analysis, the prediction market boom is not driven by the AI bubble, but comes from the virality of the younger generation, and nearly one-third of Gen Z and the next generation of millennials are investing in or considering participating in prediction markets and sports games. However, at this stage, the prediction market is still difficult to compete with the retail flagship product 0DTE, which had a total trading volume of $57 trillion in March this year. （CNBC）

According to ChainCatcher news, Lucas Bruder, co-founder and CEO of Jito Labs, said that the crypto market is entering a "new phase": more and more on-chain users no longer see themselves as "crypto traders", but just ordinary traders who want to trade various assets. Jito Labs plans to launch JTX, a trading terminal for "professional retail investors" this summer, supporting spot, futures, and prediction market trading. This means that Jito will further extend from Solana's underlying infrastructure to consumer products. Bruder believes that Solana has proven its ability to host large-scale trading activity after the 2024 memecoin market and attract new users with its low cost and high speed. He also said that as Wall Street assets gradually go on-chain, Solana is expected to become an entry point for more mainstream traders to enter the on-chain market.

According to a research report released by Binance Research on May 16, about 11% of illegal cryptocurrency transactions will be seized in 2025, which is 55 times the global fiat currency recovery rate (less than 1%). Even if the single case of Prince Group, which involved about $15 billion in BTC, was excluded, the remaining seizure volume was still about 10 times the fiat currency baseline. According to data from on-chain security agencies SlowMist and PeckShield, 8.3% to 13.2% of stolen funds have been recovered or frozen in 2025, reflecting the continuous improvement in collaboration between exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and law enforcement agencies. Binance Research pointed out that blockchain's natural transparency is being fully utilized by regulators and investigators, and the claim that "cryptocurrencies are a hotbed of illegal activities" is gradually becoming an outdated misconception.
