According to BBX data, corporate Bitcoin reserves are under pressure, intertwined with the continuous outflow of ETF funds, leading to an overall cautious sentiment in crypto concept stocks. The core dynamics are as follows:Trump Media & Technology Group, Corp. (NASDAQ: $DJT) transferred 2,650 BTC (approximately $205 million) to a Crypto.com exchange address on May 22. The company's official statement described this as a "transfer rather than a sale," part of an expanded trading strategy, but the actual disposal method remains to be confirmed as of the report deadline. On-chain data shows that the funds have arrived at the Crypto.com exchange address. Previously, the company transferred 2,000 BTC (approximately $175 million) to Crypto.com about four months ago. The Q1 2026 financial report (May 9, CoinDesk) indicates that as of March 31, the company held 9,542.16 BTC (with a fair value of $647.1 million, and a purchase cost of approximately $1.13 billion); after this transfer of 2,650 BTC, Arkham's on-chain estimate of the remaining holdings is about 6,889 BTC (approximately $532 million). The Q1 financial report also disclosed a net loss of $405.9 million (compared to a loss of $31.7 million in the same period last year) and revenue of only $871,200. The company originally purchased 11,542 BTC at an average price of about $118,522, with a total purchase cost of approximately $1.37 billion, and the current holdings are still significantly discounted compared to the cost; during the same period, the company withdrew its ETF applications for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana from Truth Social.The U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF recorded over $2.26 billion in net outflows in the two weeks ending May 23, ending a streak of seven consecutive weeks of net inflows. During this period, Bitcoin fell from about $82,500 (the recent high on May 6) to $74,305 (on May 23), a decline of about 10%, marking the lowest point since April 20. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: $IBIT) under BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: $BLK) has seen its holdings decrease from a peak of about 812,000 BTC to about 800,000 BTC, still accounting for approximately 62% of total assets in U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs. CoinDesk analysts attribute this round of outflows to high U.S. Treasury yields (with the 10-year yield touching 5.01%) and systemic deleveraging driven by geopolitical pressures, rather than a weakening belief in Bitcoin's long-term logic.

OKX Ventures cited data from Token Terminal on platform X, indicating that the monthly transaction count on Ethereum has exceeded 70 million, setting a new historical high. At the same time, the median transaction fee on the network has dropped to approximately $0.00554, also setting a new historical low. This indicates that Ethereum is gradually achieving the network characteristics of "high efficiency and low cost."In light of this, OKX Ventures believes that Layer 2 solutions and modular architecture are continuously reducing the cost of on-chain interactions, and the historically high Gas fee issue is significantly improving. As transaction costs decrease to sufficiently low levels, applications such as stablecoins, blockchain games, social platforms, AI Agents, and RWA (real-world assets) will find it easier to attract real users.The competition among public chains is entering the "experience era," where future competition will no longer be based solely on TPS, but rather on whether the network can provide better security, liquidity, and user experience. Ethereum still maintains a strong advantage in terms of developer and ecosystem strength. As costs decline, activities such as on-chain payments, asset issuance, and cross-border settlements are expected to continue growing, with blockchain infrastructure gradually becoming part of the mainstream digital economy.OKX Ventures will continue to focus on infrastructure upgrades and the long-term application value within the Ethereum ecosystem. The truly important signal is not just market price fluctuations, but the continuous growth of real on-chain usage.

According to a post on the DL News official website, DL News announced that it will officially close at the end of May 2026. The media was established in 2022 as the news department of the on-chain data platform DefiLlama, dedicated to providing independent and high-quality cryptocurrency news coverage. However, internal conflicts at DefiLlama in early 2023 led to a practical separation, causing DL News to lose traffic support from its parent platform; subsequently, the overall traffic for cryptocurrency and technology media significantly shrank, and the proliferation of AI further accelerated the collapse of search distribution channels.Although its business research department DL Research achieved a 270% revenue growth and surpassed seven figures in annual sales in 2025, it was still insufficient to support overall operations. The team officially notified employees on May 1 that the company would close.
