Shenzhen Tide TechFlow News, May 26 - According to Nikkei News, the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran reached in early April has been extended for 60 days. Ships from all countries will be able to navigate freely and safely as before the strait closure.

PANews reported on May 26 that, according to a report by Nikkei citing a Middle Eastern diplomatic source, the United States and Iran are discussing a plan to open the Strait of Hormuz approximately 30 days after the two countries reach an agreement to end hostilities. Once an agreement is reached, Iran will clear mines from the strait within 30 days. Afterward, ships from all countries will be able to navigate freely and safely, and Iran will cease charging transit fees. The report also stated that the ceasefire agreement reached in early April will be extended for 60 days. During this two-month ceasefire period, the two sides plan to negotiate on Iran's nuclear program. Furthermore, according to Al Arabiya, a draft agreement has been reached between the US and Iran. The draft agreement allows for the free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the clearing of mines; navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must be restored within 30 days. The agreement stipulates that the US commits to easing its blockade of Iranian ports; it allows Iran to sell and export oil; it will provide specific sanctions waivers for Iranian oil exports and will consider easing sanctions on Iranian oil in stages, depending on Iran's fulfillment of its commitments. The agreement also stipulates continued nuclear negotiations to reach a long-term consensus. According to Al Jazeera, a source familiar with the talks between a senior Iranian delegation and Doha officials said that Qatar's mediation has facilitated an understanding with the United States regarding the frozen financial assets of Iran. The source added that, given the agreement reached on this crucial issue for the Iranians, the US and Iran are likely to announce the agreement tomorrow.

On May 26th, PANews reported that Babylon Labs has initiated a temperature check proposal in the Aave community, suggesting integrating native Bitcoin as collateral on Aave V4 via the Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults protocol. This solution requires no encapsulation, cross-chain bridges, or custodians. Users lock their Bitcoin in Taproot UTXOs, and redemption is controlled by on-chain rules (such as loan repayments), settling directly to the Bitcoin UTXO. The proposal deploys two Aave V4 Spokes: Babylon Core Lending Spoke and BTC Vault Swap Spoke. Collateral exists in the form of vaultBTC, a transfer-restricted ERC-20 token, limited to transfers between fixed whitelisted addresses. During the liquidation process, the liquidator can immediately settle in WBTC, with subsequent redemption on the Bitcoin side handled by arbitrageurs.

According to DeepFlow TechFlow News on May 24, despite widespread concerns about inflation triggered by the war, signs show that other factors are also influencing long-term borrowing costs. In the United States, the so-called 'real yield' after adjusting for inflation has a more significant impact, indicating that bond investors are not only worried about price pressures from the Iran conflict. Other drivers include: the already massive public debt burden potentially expanding further, the impact of the artificial intelligence investment boom, and the increasing likelihood that central banks like the Federal Reserve will raise rather than lower interest rates. Strategists at ING Group, Goldman Sachs, and Barclays emphasize a common speculation: part of the recent rise in long-term yields may not fully reverse even if inflation fueled by oil price increases subsides. This means that even if the conflict ends, market borrowing costs might remain near multi-year highs, continuing to exert pressure on governments and economies.

PANews reported on May 25th that, according to CoinDesk, Katie Harries, Head of European Policy at Coinbase, stated that Coinbase is not at all worried about the growing competition from Wall Street giants or other traditional financial institutions, believing that the grassroots community support in the crypto industry is something Wall Street cannot replicate. Furthermore, Harries stated that Stand With Crypto, a crypto advocacy organization backed by Coinbase, has over 3.7 million members globally and has made over 2.5 million contacts to lawmakers, demonstrating that "crypto voters" are a permanent force in the political landscape. Although a CoinDesk survey showed that only 1% of US voters listed crypto as a top concern, Harries believes voters do care about digital assets. She called on global regulators to immediately adopt a sensible crypto regulatory framework, stating that "the window of opportunity to shape sensible crypto regulation has opened."

PANews reported on May 25th that, according to The Block, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a lengthy post on the X platform, responding to the recent turmoil and wave of researcher departures at the Ethereum Foundation. Buterin stated that the foundation is choosing "long-term survival over being big and all-encompassing," reducing ETH sales and focusing on Ethereum's CROPS attributes such as censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security. He emphasized that the post represents only his personal views, and that his power within the organization will continue to decrease, which aligns with his wishes. Buterin believes that EF should be understood as "a node with a clear purpose, standing alongside other nodes," rather than the center of Ethereum. Buterin pointed out that the foundation holds approximately 0.16% of ETH, while other blockchain foundations typically hold 10% to 50% of their own token supply. The foundation will focus on key activities that only it can drive, with some respected contributors and projects remaining outside the foundation, which will help attract external capital. Regarding technological direction, Buterin outlined three priorities: achieving a "provably vulnerability-free Ethereum" through AI-assisted formal verification, usable chain consensus, and minimizing intermediaries. He explicitly opposed Ethereum's reliance solely on speed competition, calling it "the road to mediocrity." Buterin concluded by stating that EF will be smaller than in previous years, with a more defined stance that may be difficult to understand in some situations, but it will also be more sustainable. The foundation's new long-term operating model should stabilize in the coming months.
