RWA perp volumes reach new high for May 2026, about $211B, with equity-linked perps up 121% to ~ $54B. The article say dis show seh “24/7 equity” exposure dey become stable DeFi product, driven by deeper perp DEX liquidity and rising open interest. RWA perp volumes dey rise because cash-settled RWA perpetual futures dey reference equities (or other real-world things) via on-chain oracles and funding rates instead of normal exchange hours. Perp price dey anchored to an oracle index, while funding payments between longs and shorts dey pull the perp toward the index over time. For traders, main gist be say RWA perpetuals na basically basis trades, no be direct stock ownership. Key risks include oracle gaps, weekend funding spikes, how corporate actions (dividends, splits) dem handle am, regulatory access limits, and liquidity/OI caps we fit worsen slippage and liquidation cascades. Practical playbook: confirm legal access, audit the oracle/index methodology, model funding around macro events (CPI/NFP/FOMC) and earnings, size according to OI and depth, check fee/funding math, and understand margin and liquidation mechanics. Overall, RWA perp volumes growth plus better DEX infrastructure support improved tradability, but weekend oracle/index/funding dynamics still fit cause sudden basis dislocations.

Saka make Tuchel 26-man squad wey dem announce for late May, but the main question for England World Cup opener na whether e fit last full match time. Current signs show say e fit no fit start or finish 90 minutes. Tuchel don talk say no starter get guarantee, e dey stress squad depth. The 26-man squad get other important returnees, Declan Rice sef dey for him second World Cup — this one give Tuchel tactical flexibility. England open Group L against Croatia wey don always strong for big stages, dem reach 2018 final and finish third in 2022.

New York City Comptroller Mark Levine don announce say dem open rebidding for about US$42.3B wey dey for public equity index mandates across three pension systems: NYCERS, TRS, and BERS. The move give BlackRock second chance after earlier climate-related contract wahala. For November 2025, the Comptroller wey dey then, Brad Lander, recommend make dem rebid BlackRock’s mandates because their decarbonization plans no meet the pension systems’ climate standards. For that assessment of 49 public-market managers, 46 submit climate-aligned plans, but BlackRock no send. Follow-up on April 30 still flag BlackRock (and Fidelity) as dem no align with the standards, wey stress science-based targets and strong engagement policies. Levine method different: instead make dem terminate BlackRock, the city open competition again. BlackRock fit bid alongside other firms for the same US$42.3B mandates. Context matter for investors. Since 2019, the city pension systems don achieve 37% reduction in financed emissions and don deploy more than US$15B into climate-focused investments. The broader five-system effort still pursue aggressive net-zero steps, including divesting from fossil fuel reserve owners and exiting about US$3.8B in those investments. Implication: the fact say 46 of 49 managers meet NYC’s climate criteria show the bar fit reach, but BlackRock earlier strategy get consequences. The outcome fit affect how asset managers adapt climate disclosures and governance to win big institutional mandates.

Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick dey tok say di Bitcoin cycle low don lock near $59,000, im call am as di end of di latest crypto winter. Kendrick thesis base for two main things. First, spot Bitcoin ETF redemptions don be among di heaviest since dem launch. Total redemptions don pass $5.72B since second week of May, and some holders reportedly dey liquidate to raise cash for Elon Musk SpaceX IPO. After SpaceX start trade for Nasdaq around $150, di stock dey reportedly about 26% above im IPO price, wey Kendrick expect fit reduce the specific ETF-related selling pressure. Second, Kendrick point to possible U.S.–Iran peace deal wey fit help stabilize oil market. If oil prices cap, higher U.S. Treasury yields fit cool down, easing macro pressure on crypto. The article mention Brent around $87 and WTI around $85 amid Trump peace-deal remarks (followed by later clarification). To confirm Bitcoin bottom, Kendrick dey watch: (1) announcement on Monday say Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) buy more Bitcoin dis week, and (2) return to net-positive daily inflows for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on Friday. He also argue say this setup go support stronger relative performance for Ether (ETH) versus Bitcoin (BTC).
