Bitcoin surged 23% this week — its strongest weekly gain since March 2023, per CoinGlass.

Back then it jumped 26% after the US launched emergency bank lending following the collapses of Silvergate, SVB and Signature.

This time a key driver was the US Treasury’s Aug 19 announcement to double long-term bond buybacks.

Today BTC almost hit $80K (first time since mid-May), rising over $8K in a day from ~$71K to $79.5K. After the spike it pulled back and is now trading around $78K.

Hyperliquid is investigating expansion into the United States, even though the largest perpetual futures exchange in the cryptocurrency sector currently blocks American traders.

The platform is pursuing entry into U.S. markets; however, the stalling of the CLARITY Act leaves perpetual futures trading without a clear regulatory framework, according to The Information.

Hyperliquid has already invested $29 million in a Washington policy initiative, while CME and ICE have urged the CFTC to impede its growth.

🚀 RWA 2026

Since the revival of RWAs in 2024, progress in regulatory clarity has enabled major TradFi institutional players to dip their toes in. As early experiments paved the way by turning into best practices and playbooks, the pace of tokenization has noticeably accelerated.

🗓 2025 has proven to be a watershed year for RWAs. For both crypto-native and traditional players, competition within the RWA and tokenization stack has intensified, with issuers now differentiating on regulatory standing, asset coverage, and distribution reach.

CEXs are also leading adoption with dedicated TradFi strategies that improve access to trading these assets.

Top 7 Highlights

1️⃣ Tokenized RWAs tripled to $19.3B in Q1.
2️⃣ Tokenized commodities hit $5.5B, driven heavily by gold (XAUT & PAXG).
3️⃣ Gold spot trading volume in Q1 ($90.7B) already beat the entire 2025 total!
4️⃣ Tokenized stocks scaled to $0.5B, with tech leading the way.
5️⃣ Stock spot volume hit $15.1B in Q1, overtaking all of H2 2025.
6️⃣ Tokenized ETFs steadily reached the $0.3B mark.
7️⃣ RWA perps volume jumped to $524.8B in Q1, crushing 2025's yearly total ($313B).

What is driving the recent +50% surge in SUI?

Price Movement: Base level $0.92 → Peak $1.39 (May 10) → Current price $1.26.
Trading Volume: Skyrocketed from $213M to $2.5B.

📌 Key Trigger
The primary driver was an event on May 10: SUI Group Holdings (NASDAQ: SUIG) moved its entire reserve of 108.7 million SUI from DeFi protocols directly into staking.

This move effectively removed approximately 2.7% of the total supply from liquid circulation (free float), adding to the ~74% of SUI tokens that are already staked.

Additional Catalysts:
1) CME Group to Launch SUI Futures (May 29)
2) SUI will become only the fifth L1 blockchain to gain access to regulated derivatives.
3) Paga Partnership: The launch of a cross-border payment system targeting the African market.
