Backpack Founder Discusses "Binance Possibly Opening Stock Trading": Some US Retail Investors May Flock to Crypto

56 minutes ago

May 31 — Amid rumors that Binance plans to launch genuine stock trading on June 1, Armani Ferrante, founder of crypto exchange Backpack, noted in a post that this move could reshape the entire brokerage landscape. Key points from Ferrante’s comments: 1. 24/7 price discovery for stock spot markets will become a reality. 2. A new generation of crypto-native brokerages will follow Binance into weekend price discovery; while existing perpetual contracts enable weekend trading, their range of underlying assets remains far too limited for retail brokerage products. 3. Crypto-native brokerages will go head-to-head with legacy TradFi (traditional finance) brokers, and being early to offer weekend spot trading will give these new crypto platforms a major competitive edge. 4. Retail stock investors currently trading on Web 2 platforms could enter the crypto ecosystem via these new brokerages, with capital flows eventually expanding into the broader crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi) sectors.

Trump: U.S. to Intervene with "War Department" If No Agreement is Reached Between the U.S. and Iran

May 31 – U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview aired on the evening of May 30 local time that the U.S. and Iran are close to reaching a "very good agreement," adding that a "better deal" should come together more quickly. However, Trump warned that if no such deal is reached, he will order the so-called "Department of War" – a reference to the U.S. Department of Defense – to step in. "If I don't get what I want, we will end it in another way," he stated. Trump also noted that a signed agreement would secure navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, among other goals. When discussing his timeline for the Iran deal, he emphasized he is not in a rush. "If you're in a hurry, you won't be able to reach a good agreement," he said. Source: CCTV News.

Crypto June Outlook: World Cup to Increase Liquidity and Attention Diversions, Historical Performance Not Optimistic

May 31. For the month of May, it’s looking like both Bitcoin and Ethereum will close out with bearish monthly candles. At press time, Bitcoin is down 2.81% for May, while Ethereum has shed 9.98% so far this month. Turning to June, the crypto space remains pretty bleak. For one, the quadrennial FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11, which will draw both attention and capital away from the already fragile crypto market—shifting focus to the US stock market, AI sectors, and the World Cup specifically. The US stock market and Polymarket are projected to capture the bulk of the market’s capital and spotlight during this period. On the flip side, historical data shows the crypto market’s average June returns are negative: Bitcoin posts an average June performance of -0.14%, while Ethereum’s is -6.85%. All told, a positive trend in crypto this June is looking unlikely amid the ongoing bearish cycle. That said, contrarian coins such as HYPE, BNB, and ZEC might present niche, localized opportu
