According to Bitcoin.com, U.S. Federal Judge Jennifer L. Rochon dismissed the class action lawsuit against the organizers of the LIBRA project, Kelsier Ventures, the DeFi protocol Meteora, and related individuals, while also denying the plaintiffs' request to amend the complaint again.

According to The Defiant, U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon ruled to dismiss the class action lawsuit against LIBRA and M3M3 tokens, and it was a "dismissal with prejudice," meaning the plaintiffs cannot bring the same claims again.The judge found that the plaintiffs' reliance on a six-month issuance of Meme coins was insufficient to support the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) allegations; at the same time, the plaintiffs never listed Meteora as a suable entity.

The artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has officially open-sourced infrastructure components for the Huawei Ascend computing platform, covering the TileLang high-level language compilation tool, computing libraries, and distributed communication libraries, corresponding to the previously open-sourced components for the NVIDIA platform. TileLang aims to provide a general-purpose, simpler programming language that can achieve the hardware performance limits, improving development efficiency and simplifying logic compared to CUDA, while its programming model can also leverage chip features.The TileLang route was first validated on the NVIDIA platform and has already supported the implementation of most operators in the training of the DeepSeek V4 series models. The open-sourced Ascend version encapsulates the underlying instructions of the Ascend C, providing a high-level programming approach without sacrificing hardware performance. Currently, every TileLang operator used in DeepSeek's training has a corresponding high-performance implementation on Ascend.The components open-sourced at the same time also include DeepGEMM, DeepEP, TileKernels, FlashMLA, and DeepSelect, which are used for general matrix operations, large-scale cross-device communication, conventional vector calculations and memory access, long-context sparse attention, and data filtering, respectively. DeepSeek claims that in multiple key tests, the related computing and communication performance has approached hardware limits; during the R&D process, the Huawei team provided support, and both parties collaborated to advance the 128-card supernode solution based on Ascend 950, with deep optimizations made for computing and communication.

According to The Defiant, Daniele Sesta announced the deployment of the self-developed automated market maker Equilibra on the Robinhood Chain, stating that the product belongs to the HeyAnon project token ANON.Driven by this, the price of ANON surged approximately 220% within 24 hours, rising from $0.2159 to $1 at one point, currently around $0.6967, with a trading volume of $3.2 million, about 15 times that of the previous day. ANON's circulating market cap is approximately $10.7 million, with a circulating supply of 15.3 million tokens and a total supply cap of 21 million tokens. Its main liquidity is concentrated on decentralized trading platforms such as Ethereum's Uniswap V3 and Solana's Raydium, and it is also listed on centralized exchanges like MEXC, Gate, and KCEX.

The Zcash full node client team, Zakura, has released Zakura Common, a set of cryptographic and protocol libraries for the Zcash ecosystem. Official benchmarks show that the proof generation speed on mobile has increased by over 14 times (over 5 times on desktop), Sinsemilla hash speed has increased by over 21 times, decryption trial speed has increased by over 1.5 times, and zk-SNARK verification speed has increased by 4 to 8 times; in many cases, the waiting time for wallet transaction creation can be reduced from over 3 seconds to under 200 milliseconds.This upgrade does not require a network upgrade and has been open-sourced under the MIT/Apache 2.0 dual license. Zakura 1.3.0 will switch to this technology stack.

According to Cryptopolitan, attackers released malicious versions of three widely used Rust packages through a supply chain attack, with a library named arrayref being used by about three-quarters of Rust development environments. The malicious update hid a backdoor that could automatically steal login information when users compiled projects; users who compiled the affected versions may have exposed their computers and keys.Wiz researchers pointed out that the command and control path of the arrayref attack overlaps with the Mastra operation used by the North Korean hacker groups Sapphire Sleet and UNC1069, with IP addresses sharing the same security certificate and using the same hosting provider, Hostwinds. The attackers only added a misspelled proc-macro1 dependency, mimicking the popular proc-macro2, without modifying the original code, allowing it to pass tests and builds. The attack was removed 86 minutes after release but had already been downloaded extensively. The affected packages are widely used in Solana and Ethereum tools. The Rust team believes the maintainer's actions were not malicious, and their device or credentials may have been compromised.

NVIDIA released the open-source AI model NVIDIA Ising Calibration 1.5, designed for the automatic analysis of quantum processor (QPU) diagnostic data, and to autonomously determine device calibration schemes, achieving automation of the quantum computer calibration process. NVIDIA stated that Ising Calibration 1.5 is a visual language model (VLM) specifically designed for quantum computing calibration scenarios, capable of understanding experimental data from quantum chips and performing "zero-shot" analysis in the absence of historical cases, while also enabling context learning (ICL) with relevant experimental samples to help continuously optimize the operational state of quantum devices.In the QCalEval quantum calibration benchmark test, Ising Calibration 1.5 averaged about 10% ahead of similarly sized open-source models in zero-shot inference capability, and when using relevant experimental cases for context learning, it showed an approximately 86.5% performance improvement over the previous generation model, surpassing multiple open-source models and approaching the level of top closed-source large models. The model has 31 billion parameters and supports operation on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin data center GPUs. It also launched an NVFP4 quantized version, which can be deployed on a single consumer-grade GPU or NVIDIA DGX Spark, significantly lowering the usage threshold for quantum laboratories.NVIDIA claims that the training data for Ising Calibration 1.5 comes from various qubit architectures, including superconducting qubits, quantum dots, ions, neutral atoms, and helium surface electrons, providing calibration capabilities for different types of quantum computing devices. Industry experts believe that automated calibration is one of the key bottlenecks in the scalable development of quantum computing. NVIDIA's launch of this AI-driven quantum calibration tool signifies that AI models are beginning to extend from traditional computing domains into the quantum hardware control layer, potentially becoming an important component of the future quantum computing industry infrastructure.

Argentinian federal judge Marcelo Martinez ordered the identification and freezing of a group of wallets related to Libra, after the federal police's cybercrime technology department tracked the flow of related funds across multiple cryptocurrency networks since May. The investigation involves 8 wallets marked as "Libra team," which are directly related to the token issuance.Reports indicate that 4 of these wallets had previously pooled nearly $57 million into one address, which had been frozen and then unfrozen by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On May 10, the related funds were transferred to a Tron address through an interoperability protocol, amounting to nearly $500,000. At least 10 of the 17 transactions passed through Binance, with 8 wallets associated with Bybit, 2 with OKX, and 2 with Bitfinex.Some users of the related $8.2 million in funds may be identifiable through the KYC rules of centralized exchanges. The remaining funds are currently managed by Libra Trust, which plans to allocate them as funding to Argentine companies before November, with 71 applications pending approval.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that after the release of President Trump's financial disclosure documents, Senator Gillibrand once again called for advancing ethical reforms to prohibit the president, congressional members, and their spouses from issuing or sponsoring digital assets.The financial disclosure documents show that President Trump earned over $600 million from his Solana Meme coin in 2025. At the time of this announcement, Senator Gillibrand's long-standing position advocating for stronger ethical rules came under more scrutiny, as reports emerged that her son had raised funds to launch a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange.

According to TechCrunch, well-known investor Ashton Kutcher will leave the venture capital firm Sound Ventures, which he co-founded, and will co-found a new venture capital fund with former NFX partner Morgan Beller (who co-led Meta's Libra crypto project and served as a partner at a16z).It is reported that this departure is mainly due to differences in investment stage preferences. Sound Ventures tends to support more mature leading AI companies (such as OpenAI and Anthropic), while Kutcher's new fund will shift its strategic focus to underlying technologies, concentrating on early-stage investments in AI infrastructure, energy, and deep tech. The split is amicable, and Kutcher will continue to serve as an advisor to Sound Ventures in the future.

According to Fortune, Theodore Gillibrand, the son of New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, has completed a $30 million financing round, with the company valued at approximately $300 million. They plan to launch a derivatives trading platform named American Perpetuals Exchange Corp. (APEC). The platform intends to apply for a license from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and aims to list perpetual futures for stocks and stock indices, rather than perpetual contracts for cryptocurrencies.

OpenAI stated that during a recent industry-wide security incident, potential security issues were discovered in the third-party development library Axios that they use. After investigation, no evidence was found of user data being accessed, systems being compromised, or software being tampered with.Out of caution, OpenAI has initiated security reinforcement measures, focusing on strengthening the authentication mechanism of the macOS application to prevent malicious parties from distributing counterfeit official applications. OpenAI also reminds all macOS users to update to the latest version of the application as soon as possible, either through in-app updates or official channels, to reduce potential risks.

According to The New York Times, Argentine President Milei had seven phone call records with project-related entrepreneur Mauricio Novelli on the night of February 14, 2025, when LIBRA went live, covering the time around his promotional post on X.The report states that newly discovered mobile forensic information also includes suspected payment recordings and draft funding arrangement documents, further raising doubts about Milei's previous claim of "no connection to the project." Milei has not yet been formally charged but has been listed as a key subject of the investigation.

The attacker stole the npm access token of the chief maintainer of Axios, the most popular HTTP client library for JavaScript, and used that token to publish two malicious versions containing cross-platform remote access trojans (RATs) ([email protected] and [email protected]), targeting macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. The malicious packages were removed from the npm registry about 3 hours after being published.According to data from security company Wiz, Axios is downloaded over 100 million times weekly and exists in about 80% of cloud and code environments. Security company Huntress detected the first infections just 89 seconds after the malicious packages went live and confirmed that at least 135 systems were compromised during the exposure window. Notably, the Axios project had previously deployed modern security measures such as OIDC trusted publishing mechanisms and SLSA provenance proofs, but the attacker completely bypassed these defenses. Investigations revealed that while configuring OIDC, the project retained the traditional long-lived NPM_TOKEN, and npm defaults to using the traditional token when both coexist, allowing the attacker to publish without breaching OIDC.

According to Argentine media El Destape, forensic experts extracted an unpublished document from intermediary Mauricio Novelli's phone, detailing the payment agreement for the Libra token scam, totaling 5 million dollars, primarily pointing to Argentine President Milei.The document shows that the agreement is divided into three payments: an initial payment of 1.5 million dollars in tokens or cash as an advance; a second payment of 1.5 million dollars, contingent on Milei announcing Hayden Davis (CEO of Kelsier Ventures) as his advisor on Twitter; and a final payment of 2 million dollars, contingent on Milei signing a contract regarding blockchain/AI government consulting in person with his sister Karina. The document was created on February 11, 2025, just three days before Milei posted the relevant tweet and the Libra token went live.Call records have also drawn attention. The forensic report shows that Milei had multiple calls with Novelli within minutes before and after the tweet was posted, and his sister Karina was also in frequent contact; after the token price plummeted that night, Milei's advisor Santiago Caputo joined the call circle late at night, with call records indicating that all parties continued to coordinate in response to the crisis.

Bitcoin Core developer Murch announced on February 11 that BIP 360 (Pay to Merkle Root, P2MR) has officially entered the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal repository, marking the first time the Bitcoin development community has incorporated quantum resistance into the official technical roadmap.The proposal was co-authored by Hunter Beast, Ethan Heilman, and Isabel Foxen Duke, and is currently in the review and discussion stage, with no protocol changes activated yet.

Bubblemaps reveals that Hayden Davis, the key figure behind the LIBRA token scam, is actually the second-largest investor in the Pump.fun private round, having invested a total of 50 million USDC, and sold at a total price of 65 million dollars on the first day of listing. Most people remember that Pump.fun raised 500 million dollars in a public offering in July 2025, but few recall that they also conducted a private financing round with several undisclosed investors.After investing 50 million dollars, Hayden Davis's active address received 12.5 billion tokens when the PUMP token was launched, valued at 73 million dollars, with expected earnings of 15 million dollars. This address had been previously identified, but its actual owner has only been confirmed now. It is still unclear whether Pump.fun's officials are aware of this, but the address is clearly linked to Hayden Davis on-chain and is interconnected in various ways.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve official Daly stated that the Fed's policy is currently in a good state, but it still needs to be calibrated cautiously.
