public companies are increasingly embracing digital assets, according to Binance Research. Over 117 listed firms now hold more than 800,000 BTC, with new entrants like Trump Media & Technology Group joining the trend. This group launched a $2.5 billion BTC strategy, backed by 50 institutional investors.
Ethereum is also gaining traction. SharpLink, advised by Consensys co-founder Joseph Lubin, unveiled a $425 million ETH initiative.
However, market sentiment is mixed. Bitcoin prices fell 5% over the week due to profit-taking and asset rotation.Ethereum and altcoins also saw declines. Binance attributes this to cautious sentiment and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw ten days of inflows before reversing on May 29, indicating underlying demand but fragile investor sentiment.
