On May 21, the China-France Working Group on Climate and Environmental Challenges held its first meeting in Beijing, China, on May 20, 2026. The meeting was jointly led by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Ministry of European Affairs and Foreign Ministry, with participation from eight relevant Chinese ministries. The French Ministry of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature participated as the French co-lead unit of the working group. The working group serves as a new and important dialogue platform between China and France in the field of climate and environment. The two sides exchanged in-depth views on key issues in the climate and environment field, including global climate governance, the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Second Global Inventory, climate mitigation and energy transition, climate adaptation, biodiversity, land degradation and forests, pollution, water and oceans, territorial spatial planning and ecological protection and restoration, and climate, biodiversity, and environmental finance.U.S. EIA natural gas inventories for the week ending May 15 were 101 billion cubic feet, compared to an expected 96 billion cubic feet and a previous reading of 85 billion cubic feet.Mexican President Simbaum: I will meet with Homeland Security Minister Mourin in Mexico today.The U.S. EIA natural gas storage figures for the week ending May 15 will be released in ten minutes.On May 21st, driven by AI optimism and strong earnings reports, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs. However, this rally lacked breadth, with most gains coming from large-cap tech stocks. UBS analysts pointed out that in the six weeks ending May 15th, the market capitalization-weighted S&P 500 outperformed the equally weighted S&P 500 by the largest margin in at least 35 years. Given that much of the market value growth was driven by large-cap AI tech stocks, UBS advised investors to reduce overly concentrated positions and guard against the risks of concentrated holdings. UBS also stated that as earnings season nears its end and market focus shifts back to the unresolved Middle East situation, the market may enter a period of respite. Swissquote Senior Market Analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya said she has been monitoring the market breadth issue, noting that most of the gains are currently concentrated in a few tech companies "priced in with perfect expectations." "If anything goes wrong with their pricing logic, we could see a bubble-like crash."

This week, the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) and the US Treasury imposed an outright ban on Ethereum, putting the decentralized non-custodial privacy solution therein in serious jeopardy.


The government not only forbade its residents from utilizing the services, but it also established similar guidelines for cryptocurrency firms, telling them not to collaborate with the platform. Since that time, dYdX has been the first decentralized exchange to take action in its direction.

After a tornado, dYdX

The DEX gave its clients an explanation of the cause of the Tornado Outage on the platform in a blog post published yesterday.


As the $625 million Axie Infinity Ronin Bridge assault, where Tornado was utilized as a way to transport the stolen cash around, is one of the most well-known hacks in the history of cryptocurrency, the OFAC banned Tornado Cash.


Beyond this, however, Tornado's privacy regulations made it a go-to for thieves. Thus, the OFAC declared it obligatory to avoid Tornado Crash in order to eliminate the likelihood that the same would be sponsored from inside the nation.


As a result, a sizable number of customers saw that dYdX had disabled their accounts because of their connection to Tornado Cash, according to what the DEX had to say.


"This sudden influx of flags affected many account holders who have never directly interacted with Tornado Cash, and frequently such users do not realize the origin of the funds transferred to them during various transactions prior to interfacing with our platform, but we must nonetheless maintain certain restrictions," said Tornado Cash.

A terrifying storm with a tornado

Things started to fall apart as the crypto facilitator platform dealt with OFAC prohibitions, and in only three days, the network's native token, TORN, reached new lows.


Trading for TORN was spotted at $16.3, down from $30 less than a week ago, a drop of more than 45%.


Investor losses as a result of this abrupt blacklisting are unprecedented since the platform has been permanently blacklisted, making it unable to recoup from the price collapse of 45%.


And now that both DeFi and non-DeFi crypto exchanges are acting in this way, things are only going to grow worse for TORN moving ahead.
