Headlines
The prediction market platform Polymarket disclosed that its beta version of perpetual contracts is now open for testing to some users and will gradually expand access over the next four weeks.
Analysts believe this launch indicates that Polymarket is further expanding from the prediction market into the realm of crypto derivatives trading, continuously expanding the platform's trading scenarios and user coverage. Officially, the specific trading pairs and functionality details supported by the perpetual contract product have not yet been disclosed.
Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, stated that Ethereum's current trend resembles Amazon after the 2001 internet bubble burst; a price decline does not indicate a deterioration in fundamentals but may reflect a "mismatch between stock price and intrinsic indicators."
Kendrick cited Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's viewpoint that market prices can diverge from company fundamentals over the long term but will ultimately return to value trajectories. While Ethereum's current price has dropped about 57% from its 2025 peak, core indicators such as on-chain transaction volume and total value locked (TVL) remain close to historical highs, leading Standard Chartered to maintain a long-term bullish view on ETH, expecting the price to reach $4,000 by the end of 2026 and rise to $40,000 by 2030.
U.S. Vice President Vance stated to reporters that an agreement has not yet been reached between the U.S. and Iran, but both sides are getting closer to a goal. The U.S. currently has the capacity to significantly delay Iran's nuclear program. Earlier, sources indicated that the U.S. and Iran agreed on Thursday to extend a ceasefire and lift restrictions on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, pending approval by U.S. President Trump.
Vance mentioned that there are still several key issues in negotiations with Iran involving Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles and enrichment activities, with both sides repeatedly negotiating on specific wording details, and the timing and likelihood of signing a memorandum of understanding remain uncertain.

Spain Temporarily Bans Polymarket and Kalshi, Investigation May Last for Months

Voices
Arthur Hayes stated in a podcast on May 22 that currently, only AI stocks are rising in the global capital market, while other sectors have generally weakened. Arthur Hayes identified reasons including consumer unemployment leading to a shrink in demand, AI giants occupying available global credit, and governments prioritizing AI capital expenditures, squeezing financing spaces for other industries. Arthur Hayes also mentioned that this is not a broadly rising bull market, and in the crypto market, only a few cryptocurrencies show strength, making it a difficult time for most people.
Liquid Capital founder Li Yihua posted on the X platform stating that in the last cycle, he "operated correctly eight times and wrongly once," but the cost of that single mistake was significant, although the related losses were primarily from previous profit withdrawals.

VanEck CEO Jan Van Eck expressed that he remains long-term bullish on Bitcoin, but 2026 is historically a down year in the four-year halving cycle. He stated that institutional adoption has not changed significantly, and there is currently a lack of catalysts to drive a substantial rise in Bitcoin.
