Market Round Up: May 26, 2025

Rootstone's Market Round Up

╰ BTC printed a record $111,900 on 22 May, fueled by a burst of $1.5 billion of spot-ETF inflows in just two days and bullish options positioning ahead of Friday’s $4.8 billion expiry.

╰ A surprise delay of the threatened 50 % tariffs on EU imports (announced Sunday night) erased weekend losses and lifted BTC back above $109K.

╰ CetusProtocol on the Sui network was hacked, resulting in a $223 million loss . The team managed to freeze $162 million, but the incident highlighted ongoing security risks in DeFi.

╰ ETH rallied to $2,570 on 25 May as spot-ETF turnover hit a 2025 high.
