Navin Saigal, head of Asia-Pacific’s global fixed income business at BlackRock, addressed questions about the likelihood of rate increases during Powell’s tenure, stating, “If I had to choose between a rate hike and a rate cut, I believe there are actually enough factors to support a rate cut.” He added, “Looking ahead, the labor market is set to face some pressure, which could mean the Fed will either hold policy steady or implement a rate cut.” Saigal’s remarks run counter to the prevailing outlook among bond market investors, who are betting that Powell will prioritize preserving the Fed’s credibility on taming inflation over fulfilling U.S. President Donald Trump’s calls for lower interest rates.

On May 25, crypto VC firm IOSG Ventures issued a formal clarification in a post stating it is not linked to a wallet address referenced in a report from blockchain analytics firm Onchain Lens. Onchain Lens had labeled a wallet involved in UNI and COMP transactions as “IOSG Ventures?” in a tweet, a move IOSG notes was merely unsubstantiated speculation. The address in question is not owned, controlled, or affiliated with IOSG—it is solely a deposit address for Binance. IOSG emphasized that the activities and losses described in the tweet are unrelated to the firm, adding that it has reached out to the relevant parties to correct this misrepresentation. The address, which previously deposited 2.7 million UNI and 114,352 COMP into Binance, belongs to Eliah Trend Research.

May 25: Per Hyperinsight monitoring, the largest Bitcoin (BTC) position opened on Hyperliquid today was initiated by a whale wallet with the address prefix 0xebe. Early this morning, the whale opened a long position using 476.4 BTC at 5x leverage, bringing the position’s total value to roughly $36.9 million.

May 25 — Former U.S. President Donald Trump lavished praise on Micron at a rally in Suffern, New York, on May 22, telling the crowd, “Big company Micron, boy, Micron is great.” Unusual bullish trading activity tied to the chip giant followed shortly after, per market flow tracker Capital Flow. On the afternoon of May 22, multiple traders loaded up on Micron deep out-of-the-money (OTM) call options, with strike prices spanning $750 to $1,400.
