Odaily Planet Daily reports that the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is seeking public comment on interpretations of specific digital asset regulatory activities under its crypto roadmap. This consultation covers how activities such as stablecoin issuance, trading platforms, custody, and staking should be brought under regulation. The consultation will close on June 3, 2026, and crypto companies can apply for FCA authorization from September 30, 2026. The FCA stated that the consultation on future crypto asset regulations is largely complete, and a policy statement will be released this summer. Prior to the implementation of the new legislative system in 2027, crypto assets in the UK will remain largely unregulated, except for financial promotion and financial crime purposes.

According to an Associated Press report, International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol stated in an interview on Thursday that Europe's aviation fuel supply "may only last for about six weeks," and warned that flight cancellations could "soon" occur if oil supplies continue to be disrupted due to the war with Iran. He called the Strait of Hormuz crisis "the biggest energy crisis in history." Birol said, "There used to be a band called 'Terror Strait.' Now it's a real 'Terror Strait,' which will have a significant impact on the global economy. The longer this situation lasts, the greater the negative impact on global economic growth and inflation." Birol stated that this will drive up gasoline, natural gas, and electricity prices, with countries reliant on Middle Eastern energy sources, including Japan, South Korea, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, bearing the brunt, and then spreading to Europe and the United States. If the strait does not reopen, some European flights may be canceled due to fuel shortages.
