Bitcoin Spot Volumes Hit 2023 Lows
The price of the leading cryptocurrency has stabilized within a narrow range around $77,500. Following the holidays in the United States, market activity remains subdued, with investors exercising caution. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Traders on Polymarket estimate a 75% probability of closing the current week above the $76,000 level. Source: Polymarket. Momentum Fades According to a report by Glassnode, the price momentum indicator has decreased by 21.7% over the past seven days, reflecting a weakening in price dynamics and increased selling pressure. #Bitcoin pulled back from $79K to $74K before rebounding toward $77K, with momentum and activity cooling. Despite softer sentiment, easing sell pressure hints at early signs of stabilization. Read this week’s Market Pulse👇https://t.co/YE6dXfaImn pic.twitter.com/ut24qnNAw7— glassnode (@glassnode) May 25, 2026 The recovery in quotes was accompanied by a cooling of speculative demand: spot volumes decreased by 10%; open interest in futures fell by 3.5%. In the market maker Enflux noted that there is a "buyer" in the market, but large capital is hesitant to increase positions. 2023 Lows An analyst under the pseudonym Darkfost pointed to a critical decline in activity. According to his data, monthly spot trading volumes of bitcoin have dropped to levels typical of a deep bear market phase. 🗞️ BTC Spot Volumes Have Crashed 81% Since October 2025.Bitcoin spot trading volumes have now fallen to levels typically seen during bear markets.You have to go back to July 2023 to find a month with spot volumes this low on BTC.Despite this slowdown, Binance continues to… pic.twitter.com/P1XN9CN1PI— Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) May 26, 2026 On the largest crypto exchange Binance, the figure fell to $36.4 billion — 81% below the values of October 2025 ($198.6 billion). Similar dynamics are observed on Gate (-79.6%) and Bybit (-66%). The expert linked this to macroeconomic pressure but suggested that the "drying up" of volumes might indicate seller exhaustion, as was the case at the end of the 2023 cycle. Balance of Power Despite the decline in turnover, several on-chain indicators point to stabilization, noted Glassnode. The spot index CVD, reflecting market buyer activity, rose by 77.2%, and a similar metric for perpetual futures increased by 35.5%. A 135.4% jump in funding rate payouts confirms the persistent demand for longs, although it has not yet turned into an aggressive rally. Exchange reserves remain near multi-year lows at 2.3 million BTC. The limited supply shields the market from sharp declines, but the start of a new upward trend requires a return of institutional interest in spot ETFs, whose inflow has significantly slowed. Awaiting Macroeconomic Triggers The market has adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of the release of the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index — a key inflation indicator for the Fed. Excessively high PCE values could strengthen investors' belief in maintaining tight monetary policy, negatively impacting risk assets. Conversely, a cooling of inflation could bring buyers back to bitcoin. On May 25, the price of the leading cryptocurrency rose above $77,000 amid falling oil prices.

Forbes Identifies Five AI Applications in Aviation
Artificial intelligence is already transforming commercial aviation and is gradually being integrated into key processes, from maintenance to pricing. This is reported by Forbes. The first area is predictive maintenance. Aircraft generate vast amounts of sensor data, which airlines use AI to analyze for wear and potential failures. This shift from reactive to predictive maintenance helps reduce delays. The second area is personalized pricing. Algorithms consider booking history, route demand, loyalty program status, and user behavior. Consequently, different passengers may see varying prices for the same flight, raising transparency concerns. The third area is customer service during disruptions. In cases of cancellations and delays, AI systems can automatically rebook tickets, issue vouchers, handle inquiries, and send updates. However, there is a growing risk of dissatisfaction due to reduced human interaction. The fourth area is the automation of ground processes: biometric boarding, baggage handling, security checks, gate allocation, and logistics management. The use of biometrics in airports has already significantly expanded. The fifth area is crew support. In the cockpit, AI can analyze aircraft conditions, weather risks, and fuel consumption. Fuel efficiency is a major cost-saving factor for airlines and a way for the industry to reduce emissions without radically changing fleets. Fully autonomous passenger aircraft are unlikely in the near future due to regulatory and technical constraints. According to the publication, AI is becoming part of the industry's operational infrastructure, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. However, issues of pricing transparency and service quality remain central to the discussion. The technology could lead to a shift in the booking market dynamics. LLM tools may encourage airlines to engage more in direct sales, putting pressure on travel agencies, aggregators, and other distribution platforms. In May, researchers from GE Aerospace developed a preliminary design for a hypersonic dual-mode ramjet engine using their proprietary generative AI.

Stablecoin Market Capitalization Surpasses Reserves of 95 Countries
The combined market capitalization of stablecoins has reached a new all-time high, hitting $323 billion. This figure exceeds the official currency reserves of 95 countries. Source: CoinDesk. The list of countries whose international reserves are surpassed by the stablecoin sector's capitalization includes the United Kingdom, Canada, the UAE, Poland, Thailand, and Mexico. Only 14 countries, including China, Japan, Russia, and India, have currency reserves exceeding the market value of stablecoins. For comparison, India's reserves amount to $688.9 billion, while Brazil's are $358.2 billion. The sector's growth has accelerated in recent months. In March, the figure was estimated at $312 billion, and in April, it reached $317 billion. Stablecoins pegged to the US dollar, such as USDT and USDC, account for 99% of the market. Despite the overall volumes, tokens denominated in euros represent only 0.3%. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) noted that the use of these assets is gradually extending beyond crypto trading. Stablecoins are increasingly used in cross-border payments, particularly in regions with high inflation and volatile local currencies. However, BIS experts warned that the ease of capital movement via blockchain poses risks for emerging markets. They believe this could accelerate liquidity outflows and lead to the devaluation of national currencies. In May, the European Central Bank warned of the risks associated with issuing euro-denominated stablecoins, which could reduce bank lending and complicate interest rate control.

Second IQM Quantum Computer Launched in Poland
On May 25, Poznan University of Technology (PUT) commissioned the IQM Radiance R1 quantum computer from Finland's IQM Quantum Computers. This is the first such machine at the university's site and the second operational in Poland. In April 2025, the company launched a 5-qubit IQM Spark system at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, which was then hailed as the country's first superconducting qubit computing architecture. PUT emphasized its choice of a local installation over cloud access. The university plans to provide direct access to the equipment for students and researchers, conduct hardware experiments, and integrate the installation with its own infrastructure. From October 2026, the university plans to launch an engineering program in Quantum Technologies and open a master's course in quantum computing. Access to the system is intended for use in academic courses, hackathons, and STEM projects. The launch aligns with Polish and European strategies for the development of quantum technologies. The university also announced plans to enhance projects at the intersection of quantum computing, AI, and high-performance solutions. The number of qubits in the installed system has not been specified. The IQM Radiance line includes configurations of 20, 54, and 150 units. In April 2026, IQM announced the sale of a 54-qubit Radiance to Polish company Galaxy Systemy Informatyczne, with delivery expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. This project has not yet been commissioned. In May, quantum company stocks rose following the announcement by the US Department of Commerce of a $2 billion allocation to American firms under the CHIPS R&D; program.
