May 28 – The Public Relations Office of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy issued a statement noting that 26 commercial vessels and oil tankers safely transited the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours after securing permission and coordinating with the IRGC Navy. The statement emphasized that prior approval and coordination are mandatory for navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. It added that passage via alternative routes will be considered a disruption to maritime operations and handled appropriately. Last night, several ships attempted to illegally enter the Persian Gulf by tampering with or disabling their navigation systems. After multiple radio warnings from the IRGC Navy, two vessels were intercepted and stopped, while the rest were forced to turn back.

May 28th brings a critical update for crypto derivatives: the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) will launch 24/7 trading for Bitcoin futures and options this Friday, with only a 1-hour system maintenance window each Sunday between 22:00 and 23:00 UTC. This change will effectively eliminate the long-watched "CME gap" phenomenon. Previously, CME Bitcoin futures paused trading from Friday’s close through Sunday, while the broader Bitcoin spot market operated nonstop. This disconnect regularly formed what traders call a "CME gap," spurring widespread "gap-filling" trading strategies. Analysts view this move as CME continuing to align with crypto’s native 24/7 market structure, which will reduce institutional exposure to weekend risk and enhance hedging efficiency. However, institutional liquidity remains concentrated in ETF options and offshore perpetual futures contracts, per industry observations. Cole Kennelly, CEO of Volmex Labs, highlighted the stark open interest gap: BlackRock’s
