Iranian Revolutionary Guard: Still in control of the Strait of Hormuz, any interference will face a severe response
On May 28, the Public Relations Department of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy announced that control of the Strait of Hormuz is still fully implemented. In the past 24 hours, 26 merchant ships and oil tankers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz after obtaining Iranian permission and coordination. The statement pointed out that passage through the Strait of Hormuz must be permitted and coordinated; taking other routes is considered a disruptive behavior and will be dealt with in accordance with regulations.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that last night, several ships attempted to enter the Persian Gulf without authorization by tampering with and shutting down their navigation systems. After multiple radio warnings, the Revolutionary Guard naval forces immediately stopped two of them, and the remaining ships were forced to return.
The statement shows that the US military forces in the region violated the ceasefire agreement and fired several missiles at the open area of Bandar Abbas Airport, causing no damage. In response, a counterattack was launched against the US military base from which the attack originated. If such behavior occurs again, the US military will face a severe response.

Arthur Hayes, the inventor of perpetual contracts: Only AI stocks are rising in the global capital market, and only a few currencies are strong in the crypto market.

Arthur Hayes also stated that this is not an overall bull market with widespread gains, and only a few cryptocurrencies are performing well in the crypto market, making it a difficult time for most people.

Hong Kong banks are tightening account opening procedures, and some banks are politely declining to enable investment account functions.
Since late May, several banks in Hong Kong have required customers to visit branches in person to sign cross-border disclosure statements, and have repeatedly inquired about details such as the source of funds and transaction records. Some banks have declined to open investment account functions. At the same time, banks and securities firms have launched investigations into existing accounts.
Previous investigations found that some intermediaries had assisted mainland residents in circumventing regulations to open Hong Kong brokerage accounts by creating false existing investment certificates and providing invitation codes.
After the policy adjustment, these intermediaries turned to hyping the final window period, continuing to solicit customers in the name of internal channels and account opening secrets. The links they provide are mostly to small and medium-sized Hong Kong securities firms, and the model is more concealed.

PANews, May 28: According to Caixin, Hong Kong’s Judiciary announced plans to establish the Hong Kong International Commercial Court under the High Court to specifically handle large-value, legally complex international and cross-border commercial disputes; related judgments will be enforceable on the Chinese mainland.

BIS says tokenization can improve wholesale cross-border payments
The Bank for International Settlements said a tokenization prototype under its Project Agorá initiative has demonstrated the possibility of atomic settlement in wholesale cross-border transactions.
BIS and the Institute of International Finance convened Project Agorá, a public-private collaboration launched to address inefficiencies in such wholesale cross-border payments. The initiative focuses on settlement delays, counterparty risk, and operational friction in multi-currency transactions, according to the BIS.
In a report on Wednesday, BIS said the prototype used a layered architecture that allows central banks to retain operational autonomy while interacting through a shared interoperable platform. The report also found that atomic settlement, defined as “all-or-nothing” execution of transaction chains, is achievable across multiple currencies and jurisdictions.
It added that legal analysis concluded settlement finality can be reached across all seven participating jurisdictions, though further work is required on technical, operational, and contractual design aligned with national legal frameworks.
On privacy, BIS said it can be safeguarded at both balance and transaction levels using technologies that shield sensitive data while maintaining regulatory compliance.
“The modular design can unlock new capabilities, including conditional and always-on payments, while enabling future enhancements in areas such as anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism, sanctions compliance, and fraud detection, as regulatory and data-sharing frameworks evolve,” BIS wrote in a statement.
Project Agorá initially involved the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Bank of England, the Bank of France, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Korea, the Bank of Mexico, and the Swiss National Bank, alongside a group of more than 40 private sector financial institutions. Moving forward, the Bank of Canada will formally join the consortium as the eighth central bank participant.
BIS noted that project participants will next advance to real-value testing involving selected currencies, with future work including an enhanced role for the private sector and continued engagement from the central banks.

SBI offers free XRP to Tokyo seminar attendees: Who qualifies?
SBI Global Asset Management and the Yomiuri Shimbun Group Headquarters will host a free investment seminar in Tokyo on June 30, with SBI VC Trade offering a small XRP reward to physical attendees. The seminar, titled “In a turbulent world and rising markets, what should investors be thinking now?”, will take place at Yomiuri Otemachi Hall in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The event will also stream online, but the XRP reward is limited to people who attend in person.
The event targets individual investors trying to understand why financial markets continue to rise while global political and economic risks remain high. Organizers will use the seminar to discuss portfolio planning, long-term investing and digital assets. Tomoya Asakura, President and CEO of SBI Global Asset Management, will lead the main market session. Asakura is expected to explain how investors can approach rising markets during uncertain conditions.
The second session will feature Asakura in a discussion with Sayaka Aoki, a media personality and essayist. Aoki has written about her own financial learning process in the Yomiuri Shimbun’s monthly column, “Sayaka Aoki Learns About Money.” The program will run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. local time, with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. The event is free, but pre-registration is required.
SBI VC Trade will give 1,000 yen worth of XRP to each eligible physical attendee. The offer requires an active SBI VC Trade account on the day of the event. The giveaway is not available to online viewers. Organizers will allow only 333 people inside the hall, making the XRP incentive limited to a small group of participants. The event also includes light refreshments and a chance to receive merchandise tied to “Neko Pitcher,” a manga serialized in the Sunday edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun.
The XRP reward is small in value, but it serves a clear purpose. It gives traditional investors a simple first contact with a crypto asset through a regulated Japanese platform. The seminar follows a broader digital asset push by SBI Group. SBI VC Trade has been used across several crypto services, including trading, stablecoin work and reward-based products.
As previously reported by crypto.news, SBI and Visa launched a card that lets users earn Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP rewards through SBI VC Trade and Aplus. The product links normal card spending with crypto rewards. SBI has also started talks with Bitbank over a capital and business alliance that could make Bitbank a consolidated subsidiary. The move followed SBI VC Trade’s merger with Bitpoint Japan in April 2026.
Separate market reports also show SBI, Rakuten and Nomura preparing crypto investment trust products as Japan moves toward allowing funds to hold digital assets by 2028. That backdrop makes the Tokyo seminar part of a wider effort to place crypto inside familiar financial channels.
Hong Kong plans to establish an International Commercial Court to hear major cross-border disputes, with judgments enforceable in mainland China.
According to Caixin, Hong Kong’s Judiciary announced plans to establish the Hong Kong International Commercial Court (HKICC) under the High Court to specifically handle high-value, complex international and cross-border commercial disputes, with judgments enforceable in mainland China.
As a court under Hong Kong’s High Court, the High Court Ordinance and the High Court Rules already provide the necessary legal framework for establishing the HKICC.
Hong Kong’s Judiciary stated that, in line with international practice and reflecting the international and cross-jurisdictional nature of cases, the HKICC will extensively adopt technology in case handling—including remote hearings, electronic filing, electronic case files, and speech-to-text transcription—to enhance judicial efficiency.

Today’s Market Pulse
The crypto market continues to display selective strength with concentrated opportunities, while geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions create uncertainty for global trade and financial markets.
Key Themes
Selective Market Performance
The market shows clear divergence with Arthur Hayes noting that only AI stocks in traditional markets and a select few cryptocurrencies are gaining traction. This narrow rally is evidenced by a whale who recently profited $311,600 from a BTC short position and immediately opened a $30.6M leveraged long position with 40x leverage. Exchanges like Bitget, Binance, and Bybit are driving engagement through staking events, trading competitions, and high-yield promotions, suggesting platforms are creating liquidity in a challenging environment.
Geopolitical Risks and Trade Disruptions
Iran’s assertion of control over the Strait of Hormuz, with 26 vessels requiring permission to pass, signals potential disruptions to global oil supplies. Concurrently, heightened tensions between Russia, the US, and Japan in the Asia-Pacific region underscore how geopolitical conflicts could impact global trade routes and financial markets. These developments warrant close monitoring as they could trigger volatility in both traditional and cryptocurrency markets.
Regulatory Evolution and TradFi-Crypto Integration
Hong Kong’s establishment of an International Commercial Court with judgments enforceable in mainland China represents a significant development in cross-border financial dispute resolution. Meanwhile, banks in Hong Kong are tightening account opening procedures, indicating increased regulatory scrutiny. On the positive side, the BIS reports that tokenization can improve wholesale cross-border payments through atomic settlement, with Project Agorá involving eight central banks exploring this technology. These developments signal a gradual but steady integration of crypto infrastructure into traditional financial systems.
RichSilo Verdict
Smart money should monitor the concentration of market activity and the sustainability of narrow rallies, particularly in AI-related tokens and select cryptocurrencies. Key catalysts include the rollout of tokenized traditional assets, regulatory clarity in major financial hubs, and resolution of geopolitical tensions that could impact global trade flows. The risk of increased regulatory scrutiny remains elevated, particularly in regions like Hong Kong, which could impact crypto accessibility for certain investor segments. The convergence of traditional finance and crypto infrastructure, as evidenced by BIS’s Project Agorá and VanEck’s tokenized Treasuries integration with Euler, represents a significant long-term opportunity despite near-term market volatility.
