According to Decrypt, although Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for causing the collapse of Terra, which resulted in approximately $40 billion in losses, the abandoned original chain Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) has not disappeared. A group of community members continues to maintain the network, hoping to achieve one of the greatest revivals in the history of the cryptocurrency industry.The report states that a core community member known by the pseudonym "Vegas" lost about $50,000 during the Terra collapse and has since been involved in operating validation nodes, governance proposals, and developer coordination. He expressed that despite facing long-term internal power struggles and fraud accusations, and even being maliciously reported to the authorities, he still believes LUNC has the potential to return to the top ten in the cryptocurrency industry.After the Terra collapse in 2022, Terraform Labs launched a new chain, Terra, through a hard fork, while the original chain was retained and renamed Terra Luna Classic. Subsequently, the community organization Terra Rebels took over the maintenance work and launched a series of proposals, including a 1.2% burn tax, in hopes of revitalizing the ecosystem. However, due to disputes over fund allocation and governance, Terra Rebels eventually disbanded, and several developers left one after another.Despite this, the community continues to advance the development of projects such as lending protocols, games, and meme coins, and attempts to restore the stablecoin peg mechanism. Data shows that LUNC has risen 17.3% in the past year, but has cumulatively fallen 28.7% since 2022, with a decline of 99.99% from its historical high of $119.Some community members stated that the shared trauma after the collapse has formed a bond similar to "family," and that price is no longer the only goal. "What if we could achieve one of the greatest comebacks in cryptocurrency history? It's like a last-ditch pass." said a community member.

According to a report by Fortune, David Trainer, CEO of research firm New Constructs, analyzed that to support a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion, SpaceX needs to increase its annual revenue to about $1.1 trillion by 2035, which is nearly a 60-fold increase from $18.7 billion in 2025, equivalent to maintaining an average annual revenue growth rate of about 50% over the next decade.According to the prospectus previously submitted by SpaceX, the company's revenue in 2025 is projected to be $18.7 billion, with a net loss of $4.9 billion. Trainer calculated based on a discounted cash flow model that if investors want to achieve an annualized return of about 10% over the next decade, SpaceX must achieve the aforementioned growth targets.Analysis indicates that if it reaches a revenue scale of $1.1 trillion, SpaceX's revenue would account for about 2.4% of the U.S. GDP in 2035, with an economic scale exceeding the entire U.S. utility industry and approaching three-quarters of the U.S. transportation industry.Trainer stated that although the artificial intelligence market has vast potential, many competitors, including Alphabet, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and OpenAI, are competing for market share, and SpaceX lacks historical precedent to achieve such a scale of growth. He believes that SpaceX could not only become the largest IPO in history but also the most expensive in terms of valuation.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, Hex Trust's affiliated entities have accumulated 72.23 million H tokens in the past 4 hours, accounting for 2.55% of the circulating supply. Its foundation made significant adjustments in April regarding the H token allocation for early investors, either extending the unlocking period or issuing the full amount of tokens at a 70% discount in a one-time distribution on June 26. Hex Trust is one of its strategic investors, and it is still unclear whether this asset transfer is related to the upcoming unlocking.

According to CNBC, ARK Invest's Chief Futurist Brett Winton stated that SpaceX's upcoming IPO could become one of the most significant stock offerings in history, with its satellite internet business Starlink alone being sufficient to support a valuation of nearly $2 trillion.SpaceX has set the IPO price at $135 per share, planning to list on Nasdaq on June 12, with a pre-IPO valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion. The company plans to sell 555.6 million shares, raising about $75 billion, and underwriters may also purchase an additional 83.33 million shares at the IPO price, corresponding to about $11.2 billion. After the IPO is completed, Musk will hold over 82% of the voting control.Winton noted that SpaceX's growth prospects are not limited to launch services but are closely tied to the rapid expansion of AI. ARK estimates that by 2030, the combined enterprise value of companies developing and operating foundational AI models could reach $15 trillion to $20 trillion.Winton stated that investors typically focus on SpaceX's reusable rockets, but Starlink is the main driver of ARK's valuation logic. He mentioned that the current satellite constellation of Starlink can provide approximately 500 Tbps of bandwidth, generating annual revenue of about $13 billion. With the Starship rocket coming into operation, SpaceX can significantly reduce launch costs and deploy more satellites at a faster pace.

AI infrastructure startup Nscale has disclosed that it has completed nearly $4 billion in financing, with a valuation of $14.6 billion following its latest $2 billion Series C round. Nscale, formerly a cryptocurrency mining company spun off from Arkon Energy, is currently focused on building and operating AI data centers and leasing computing power resources to enterprises. Its investors include technology companies such as Nvidia, Dell, and Nokia.Since 2026, Nscale has also secured $1.4 billion in GPU collateral loans and a $790 million financing line to support its AI infrastructure expansion plans. Nscale participated in OpenAI's "Stargate" infrastructure project, deploying AI computing facilities in the UK and Norway, but as OpenAI adjusted its related plans, some projects have been taken over by Microsoft and Google.

According to The Block, Geoffrey Kendrick, the head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that "the bottom has almost appeared" for Bitcoin after a recent sharp decline, with the current range of about $63,000 being a "buying range." He pointed out that since February, the overall holdings of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF have remained stable, with no concentrated redemptions that would raise concerns, indicating that funds are more "structurally stable."Kendrick expects that after the recent selling pressure triggered by Strategy's sale of 32 BTC, there may be a buyback at a scale of 10 times or even 100 times, following historical practices, which could signal the confirmation of a temporary low. He also cautioned that there is still a downside risk of Bitcoin falling below $60,000, but believes that buying in batches is preferable to trying to time the bottom precisely. The bank maintains its year-end targets of $100,000 for Bitcoin and $4,000 for Ethereum.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, Arthur Hayes sold 247,334 HYPE (worth $18.02 million) and an unknown amount of NEAR.Shortly before this sale, he publicly made a $100,000 charitable bet to Kyle Samani, claiming that HYPE would outperform all other top ten market cap cryptocurrencies by the end of the year. Kyle accepted the challenge and bet on SOL. Earlier news revealed that Arthur Hayes had liquidated his positions in HYPE and NEAR.

Bankless co-founder David Hoffman posted on the X platform that after liquidating ETH, he immediately invested about 50% of the funds into VVV, NEAR, ZEC, and HYPE; the remaining 50% of the funds will be gradually invested as cash reserves through dollar-cost averaging, and has been fully used to buy LIT.On May 21, Bankless co-founder David Hoffman announced that he had liquidated all ETH. He then posted a detailed explanation of the reasons for liquidating Ethereum spot, emphasizing that this decision was not made on a whim.David stated that the grand narrative of "ETH is money" has not failed, but has been fully priced and played out to its rightful conclusion— the Ethereum network has achieved a valuation that matches its current accomplishments, but the ETH asset itself is unlikely to be repriced by the market, whether upwards or downwards. He remains extremely optimistic about the Ethereum network, believing that the ecosystem will be exceptionally prosperous, but only a small portion of these successes will continue to be reflected in the price of ETH.

Since this week, Bitcoin has experienced a wave of panic selling under the shadow of Strategy's coin selling and the diversion of AI funds, dropping over 10% from a peak of $74,000, and has now fallen back to the low range for this year.It is worth noting that during this period, the open interest in Bitcoin's coin-denominated contracts has risen against the trend, currently reported at 784,400 coins, close to a historical high. In response to this phenomenon, the well-known trader Killa, who predicted the peak of this bull market in May 2025, stated that this often indicates a key top or bottom, warranting high attention.

According to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin Fear Index BVIV surged nearly 20% on Tuesday, marking the largest single-day increase since February 5. BVIV measures the 30-day implied volatility of Bitcoin, and this surge to 46.45% indicates that panic has re-emerged in the market after two months of calm.For the past two months, the sentiment in the Bitcoin market has remained calm, even as it fell from a May high of $82,000 to $75,000 last week, with BVIV hovering around 40%, the lowest point of the year, indicating that the decline at that time was orderly selling rather than panic. However, on Tuesday, the spot price of Bitcoin dropped over 6% to $66,000, causing BVIV to spike sharply. The index's trend increasingly resembles Wall Street's VIX Fear Index, showing an inverse correlation with the spot price of Bitcoin. Whether Tuesday's significant surge is just a one-day fluctuation or the beginning of a sustained volatility cycle remains to be seen.

According to Jinshi, the number of JOLTs job openings in the U.S. significantly increased in April, rising from 6,890,000 in March to 7,620,000, reaching the highest level in nearly two years. At the same time, the number of layoffs decreased to 1,690,000, indicating a strong labor market. Although the number of job openings is still below the levels seen during the pandemic reopening, this stability may weaken the rationale for interest rate cuts, and Federal Reserve officials are beginning to discuss the possibility of interest rate hikes.

According to Bits.media, a large illegal cryptocurrency mining operation was discovered in the city of Nizhny Tagil in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, and the nearby city of Kushva. The mining operation was hidden in an abandoned industrial park and deployed about 10,000 mining machines, which were dismantled by a joint operation of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the police, and the power company.Local power companies estimate that the losses caused by the long-term illegal electricity usage of this mining operation amount to nearly 1 billion rubles (approximately 12.7 million USD). Investigators stated that its electricity consumption was sufficient to meet the lighting needs of a small city. Law enforcement has arrested three suspects, who are currently under house arrest and are being investigated for "causing property damage through deception or abuse of trust." Under Russian law, those involved could face up to 5 years in prison.Investigations revealed that the operators of the mining site accessed the power grid through intermediaries and allegedly tampered with electricity meter data to cover up the actual electricity usage. Law enforcement agencies stated that the actual electricity consumption of the mining operation was about twice the approved quota. The local energy department initially launched an investigation due to frequent voltage fluctuations, power outages, and equipment failures in the abandoned factory area, ultimately pinpointing the location of the mining operation. A local television station also produced a documentary titled "Mining" to document this operation.

According to The Defiant, approximately $220 million of unfrozen funds from the Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge attack has been almost entirely laundered by hackers. On-chain analyst Arkham Intelligence tracking shows that only about $1.7 million remains in the original attacker's wallet. This hacker is linked to North Korea and previously launched a $292 million cross-chain bridge attack on LayerZero in April.Funds were transferred using privacy tools such as THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, and Umbra. The approximately $71 million in Ethereum frozen by the Arbitrum security council on April 20 is currently the only recoverable portion. A report released by LayerZero on May 18 attributed the attack to the North Korean group TraderTraitor. Kelp has recovered approximately 116,000 rsETH by migrating to Chainlink CCIP and the DeFi United program, while the Aave security module absorbed about $190 million in bad debt.
