May 20 — Sarah Breeden, the Bank of England’s executive director for financial stability, told attendees at London’s 2026 City Week conference that the central bank’s upcoming strategy will center on tokenization to modernize the U.K.’s financial system. She noted that tomorrow’s retail payment infrastructure should support multiple interchangeable currency types: tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and other options, with distributed ledger technology (DLT) projected to cut payment costs, speed up transactions, and eliminate unnecessary intermediaries. Breeden outlined her vision for an optimal multi-currency framework that fosters competition and consumer choice: beyond traditional bank deposits, the public should be able to use tokenized deposits, regulated stablecoins, and a potential retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) for payments. On the concrete action front, the Bank of England plans to publish a draft rulebook for systemically important stablecoins next month, with fin

**May 20 Crypto Update: Bitcoin’s Five-Day Slump & Bitfinex Whale Contrarian Signals** Bitcoin has logged five consecutive down trading days spanning May 15–19, marking the second-longest daily downtrend of the year. Amid broader market weakness, the leading cryptocurrency has pulled back from above $80,000 to roughly $76,000, gunning for its first bullish candlestick in six sessions. A key divergence here: leveraged traders on Bitfinex have steadily added to their long positions during this slump. TradingView data shows Bitfinex’s long leverage positions now sit at 80,636 BTC—up ~1.5% in recent days, hitting their highest level in two and a half years. The last time long positions hit this peak was in December 2023, when BTC traded near $43,000. Year-to-date, Bitfinex’s long leverage holdings have climbed ~10%, even as Bitcoin’s price has dropped 13% over the same window. This gap signals that, despite being 35% below last October’s all-time high of $126,000, large traders are s

The withdrawal was filed on May 19 Eastern Time. In the filings, TMTG cited an evaluation of the current market competitive landscape and adjustments to the company’s strategic priorities as the basis for the move, though the firm did not specify whether it will refile the applications in the future. TMTG originally submitted the two ETF proposals in March, with plans to launch the products under its Truth Social brand. If approved, the ETFs were set to be custodied by Custodia Bank, per the initial filings. James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, expressed surprise at the decision in a social media post, noting the stated reasons lack sufficient clarity. He specul
