Saudi Media Says US and Iran Will Soon Reach Preliminary Agreement

May 24. According to the Financial Times, the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict is pushing oil prices higher and stoking inflation expectations, which has sent U.S. Treasury yields to their highest levels since 2007—potentially leaving American taxpayers on the hook for billions in extra interest costs. Data shows the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield now stands at 4.58%, above the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) earlier baseline projection of 4.13%; the 30-year U.S. bond yield has also hit a new 2007-era high. If current yield levels hold through the end of this fiscal year, U.S. federal interest payments will rise by an extra $8 billion. Should they persist across the entire 2027 fiscal year, that additional interest cost would exceed $30 billion. Market participants worry that climbing oil prices and widening budget deficits will further stoke inflation and amplify U.S. bond sell-offs.

On May 24, several senior officials from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — who had previously raised concerns about prediction market platforms — were suspended pending an investigation and ultimately forced to resign. The officials had voiced regulatory worries over three entities: Polymarket, Crypto.com, and a Gemini affiliate. Specifically, they questioned whether Crypto.com treated small-scale users fairly, whether Polymarket had sufficient anti-fraud measures in place, and whether the Gemini affiliate had obtained all required regulatory approvals. Sources familiar with the matter say then-acting CFTC Chairman Caroline Pham and her senior advisors intervened to help those companies advance their approval processes and business needs. The report also notes a notable gap in the CFTC’s cryptocurrency enforcement efforts across administrations: during the Trump era, the agency took only two crypto-related enforcement actions, both targeting individuals rather tha

On May 24, waifu.fun—a token launch platform designed for AI Agents—officially launched on BNB Chain. The platform lets AI Agents independently launch tokens and manage their treasuries autonomously, with all data recorded transparently on-chain. Its first Agent, @0xSolace_, completed full platform development, mechanism design, and token issuance on its own. On launch day, the Agent’s treasury assets exceeded $1 million. Tokenomics breakdown: Only 5% of the total supply is actually circulating, 10% is autonomously controlled by the Agent’s treasury, 20% is allocated to early contributors with a long-term vesting schedule, and the remaining 65% has been permanently burned. The contract includes an anti-sniper mechanism, has no team reserves, and all transaction fees automatically flow back to the treasury. As core infrastructure for BNB Chain’s Agentic Economy ecosystem, waifu.fun is built on the ElizaOS + Steward + Flap tech stack, with its full code stack undergoing a securi
