CoinEx News: US equities closed at new highs on May 26 as the AI trade lifted the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, while Micron surged 19.29% and crossed the $1 trillion market-cap mark. The move spilled into Asia on May 27: Japan's Nikkei 225 hit an intraday record, while Korea's KOSPI jumped as KOSPI 200 futures rose over 5%, triggering a buy-side sidecar, a five-minute halt on program buying orders.

BTC and crypto-linked equities failed to follow the same risk-on move, showing that liquidity is concentrating in AI infrastructure rather than rotating evenly across speculative assets.
