BTC Markets VIP Desk Update as of 1st June 2026: ​
• Friday's US non-farm payrolls report dominates the week. A weak print is the most credible near-term catalyst for a sentiment shift across risk assets.​

• BTC and ETH spot ETFs shed US$2 billion (A$2.78 billion) combined in late May, while XRP funds bucked the trend with US$35 million (A$48.6 million) in inflows. Selective rotation, not a clean exit.​

• The CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking Committee markup after stablecoin yield provisions were resolved. A full Senate floor vote remains the final hurdle. Polymarket currently assigns an 85% probability of passage in 2026.​

• The CFTC approved the first regulated Bitcoin perpetual futures contract in US history. KalshiEX's BTCPERP brings offshore perpetual futures markets onshore for the first time.​
