CITIC Construction Investment Research Report points out that the following factors will determine the trend of the third quarter market: In terms of fundamentals, AI computing power remains at a high level of prosperity, with mid-year performance and overseas financial reports worth paying attention to. At the same time, since April, under pressure from the macro economy, the economic measures from the Politburo meeting in July are quite important; In terms of liquidity, external disturbances have increased, while internal conditions remain neutral; In terms of risk appetite, geopolitical events and the listing of industry giants will cause short-term fluctuations in the market.

It is recommended to be cautious about chasing highs and to position during pullbacks; lithium batteries are expected to welcome a peak season, and energy storage demand continues to warm up, while new energy presents opportunities for phased valuation recovery; dividends are expected to rebound from oversold conditions, with relatively high cost-performance ratios.

According to The Block, a survey by CoinShares of 261 wealth management professionals in Europe shows that 52% of UK wealth advisors indicate that most of their clients' crypto asset exposure is outside their management scope (with a management gap exceeding 50%), while the overall percentage in Europe is one-quarter.The report points out that this "management blind spot" is primarily driven by company policies rather than a lack of advisor knowledge or client demand. In companies with explicit restrictions or a lack of internal guidance, the proportion of advisors actively recommending crypto assets is only 1%, while the management gap reaches 34%; in contrast, in companies with clear support, the recommendation rate is 48%, and the management gap is only 4%.The survey also found that the changes advisors most want to see are regulatory recognition of digital assets as a mainstream asset class (45%) and access to exchange-traded products (ETPs) (43%), rather than purely educational training.Currently, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has proposed allowing authorized funds to hold up to 10% in crypto ETPs, and the European regulatory environment is gradually shifting towards support, which may help narrow this management gap.

The Kanoo family heir Abdulla Kanoo is pushing to migrate a cross-border trade market worth approximately $60 trillion to blockchain infrastructure. Currently, cross-border payments still heavily rely on traditional correspondent banking systems, resulting in long settlement cycles, limited liquidity, and uneven access to US dollars.Kanoo stated that ARP Digital, a digital asset infrastructure company he co-founded, is building a settlement network aimed at facilitating the flow of funds between emerging economies, with the goal of reducing cross-border payment costs and reliance on intermediaries, and accelerating trade financing in the "Global South." According to his estimates, trade between emerging markets will exceed $60 trillion by 2024, accounting for about a quarter of global trade, and is expected to grow to $32 trillion by 2030.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform that the U.S. should reconsider the accredited investor laws, as the time for company privatization is getting longer. Only accredited investors (i.e., the wealthy) can participate in early investments, while ordinary retail investors can only enter after an IPO, by which time most of the upside potential has already been realized. The original intention of these rules was to protect ordinary investors from fraud, but in reality, they often make it harder for less affluent individuals to build wealth. Armstrong proposed two possible reform paths: one is to replace the existing rules with ability-based standards, such as qualifying as an accredited investor through a financial literacy test; the other is to completely eliminate the rule, allowing adults to assess risks on their own while maintaining information disclosure requirements and fraud enforcement measures.

Gate released the Private Wealth Management Report for May 2026. The crypto market continued its adjustment trend in May, influenced by rising geopolitical uncertainties and declining risk appetite. BTC fell approximately 2.9% during the month, while ETH dropped over 11%, with overall performance weaker than traditional risk assets during the same period. Against the backdrop of increased market volatility, Gate's private wealth quantitative strategies demonstrated strong resilience.

According to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa, three addresses likely belonging to Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin have currently pledged 412,430 ETH, worth approximately $653 million, and borrowed 259 million DAI.Data shows that the health of the aforementioned positions briefly fell below 1.2 during yesterday's ETH decline. However, the addresses associated with Joseph Lubin subsequently added approximately 110,000 ETH as collateral, bringing the health of the positions back above 1.48.Analysts indicate that Joseph Lubin acquired 540,000 ETH through the Ethereum ICO in 2015 at a cost of about $0.31. Based on the current position situation, the likelihood of his lending position being liquidated has significantly decreased.

According to Fortune magazine, Elon Musk's close friend and founder of Valor Equity Partners, Antonio Gracias, may gain over $100 billion in wealth due to the SpaceX IPO.It is reported that Valor holds more than 500 million shares of SpaceX Class A stock. If SpaceX goes public with a rumored valuation of $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion, the value of its holdings could reach between $90 billion and $140 billion.At the same time, the approximately $20 billion related party transactions between SpaceX and Valor have also sparked corporate governance controversies. Documents show that subsidiaries related to xAI under SpaceX had signed three GPU infrastructure leasing agreements with Valor, all of which were guaranteed for payment by SpaceX. The auditing firm PwC believes that the nature of the transaction is closer to a loan rather than a normal sale-leaseback, and therefore requires that approximately $9 billion of related debt be included in SpaceX's balance sheet.

According to a report by the blockchain analysis platform Chainalysis, the economic and financial police department of Foggia, Italy, recently uncovered a tax evasion case. The individuals involved are suspected of using the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol and the BRC-20 token standard to create and resell tokens, concealing approximately $1.1 million (€1 million) in capital gains on-chain, with the profits continuously reinvested into new inscription operations.Chainalysis pointed out that although such emerging technological means may seem covert, the inherent transparency of blockchain leaves a permanent and immutable record of transactions. Blockchain intelligence can effectively track tax evasion by reconstructing financial networks and cross-referencing exchange declaration data. The agency warned that as new categories of digital assets continue to emerge, the gap between real on-chain wealth and declared tax status will become a key investigation target for global law enforcement agencies.
