ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the UK Parliament's code of conduct oversight body is launching a formal investigation into Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage for failing to declare a £5 million donation from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Bitfinex cited BitGo data showing that the supply held by Bitcoin "conviction buyers" has surged to nearly 4 million BTC, an increase of 300% since the end of 2025, and at the current price of about $80,000, this "conviction" capital is worth about $320 billion. Bitfinex said the current accumulation trend is the largest two-quarter surge in high-conviction buying since the 2020 pandemic crash, with more and more realized value of Bitcoin no longer circulating on exchanges and into the hands of very rarely traded entities. Mati Greenspan, founder of Quantum Economics, said the exact methodology of BitGo's "conviction buyer" metric is unclear, but the combination of tightening liquid supply and demand recovery has historically set the stage for Bitcoin's most aggressive upward expansion.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Ethereum application developer Consensys has postponed its potential IPO plans to fall at the earliest, due to poor market conditions. Consensys had planned to secretly file an S-1 registration statement with the SEC at the end of February this year and has hired JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs to lead it. The crypto market fell sharply in February 2026 due to factors such as macro uncertainty, tariff concerns, and Bitcoin ETF outflows, leading several crypto companies to pause their IPO plans. BitGo is the only crypto-native company to go public in 2026, but its stock price is down about 36% from its IPO price. A Consensys spokesperson said he would not comment on market speculation. Consensys closed a $450 million Series D funding round in early 2022 valued at $7 billion.

Odaily Planet Daily News "Fed Mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos issued an article saying that the U.S. House Financial Services Committee is considering a bill aimed at amending the Federal Reserve Act, intending to abolish the Fed's dual mission and focus only on price stability. The text of the bill shows that Section 2A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 225A) is amended to delete "maximize employment and stabilize prices" and insert "stabilize prices." Timiraos noted that if the bill had become law at the time, the Fed's choice to cut interest rates last year would be worth considering.

According to TechFlow news, on May 14, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said that due to the immaturity of Japan's preferred stock market and the restrictions of exchange rules, the company has postponed the planned listing of Mars and Mercury preferred shares.
