Layer 2 / Scaling

Research Brief · 30 May 2026 Through research on the following hot topics: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon opposing the CLARITY Act, CFTC approving crypto perpetuals on licensed US exchanges, Strategy moving 411 BTC to Coinbase sparking selloff fears, and Fidelity noting Iran accepting Bitcoin for Strait of Hormuz tolls. My take: Dimon's stance is predictable but the CFTC move is a huge step for US crypto derivatives, legitimizing a massive offshore market. Strategy's BTC transfer likely spooked traders, but it could be routine treasury management. I predict more regulatory clashes as banks fight crypto expansion, while perpetuals trading will boom domestically. Public sentiment is mixed—excitement over US perps approval but anxiety over potential Strategy selling and ongoing geopolitical inflation fears.
