On-chain detective ZachXBT posted questioning BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes for frequently changing his views and selling tokens in a short period, asking how much exit liquidity he had received from followers in the past few days.ZachXBT pointed out that before WLD, Arthur Hayes had expressed bullish views on tokens such as NEAR, HYPE, and ZEC, and in his latest operation, after publicly expressing a strong bullish stance on Worldcoin (WLD) multiple times and giving a target far above the current price, he chose to liquidate his position in a short time.In response, Arthur Hayes stated that he was simply selling assets at market prices to buyers willing to take over according to his trading targets, and if the price continued to rise, outsiders would think his sale was a wrong decision, "this time it just happened to be a correct judgment."Subsequently, ZachXBT posted again, sharing Arthur Hayes's previous bullish comments on WLD and questioning his rapid exit from the position after loudly promoting it, sparking discussions in the community about the influence of opinion leaders on the market and the issue of "exit liquidity."Previously, Arthur Hayes had stated that he had liquidated his WLD position, claiming that the price trend was "not right," and announced his exit from that position.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr stated that Bitcoin is once again testing a low point of around $62,000, while the current 7-day net realized losses have reached approximately $7 billion, higher than the levels during the low point in February this year, but still below the peak loss of about $14 billion during the winter market panic.Currently, the Bitcoin price has clearly fallen below the cost basis of short-term holders (STH) at around $76,000. If it continues to decline, the main support left is the average realized price across the network at about $54,000, as well as the cost basis of long-term holders (LTH) at around $49,000. These two areas corresponded to the full capitulation phase and the formation of the cycle bottom in historical cycles.However, as long as Bitcoin remains above $54,000, the market will not enter a full capitulation phase; if it falls below and continues to operate below the market low point from February this year, it may further test the final defense line near $54,000 in this round.

The "New Stock God" Serenity published an analysis stating that as Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) technology is expected to enter large-scale deployment in the second half of 2027, Sivers Semiconductors (SIVE) may play both a bottleneck and a key node role in the industry.It pointed out that there are signs of tight supply for Continuous Wave (CW) lasers. Affected by previous orders from NVIDIA, the capacities of companies such as Sumitomo Electric, Furukawa Electric, and Win Semi are highly saturated. Meanwhile, Sivers, which adopts a fab-lite model, has effectively secured a significant amount of CW laser supply by locking in capacity with foundries like Win Semi in advance.The analysis believes that multiple CPO routes, including ASIC projects from Ayar Labs, Jabil, Marvell Celestial, and other large-scale cloud providers, are highly dependent on Sivers' laser solutions, lacking mature alternative sources in the short term, which positions it as a structural "bottleneck" in the entire ecosystem.Additionally, Sivers is the default reference laser design solution for GlobalFoundries, with relevant ecosystem participants including AMD and several CPO chip suppliers. Aside from vertically integrated companies like NVIDIA and Broadcom, most ASIC and commercial CPO projects are likely to revolve around Sivers.Serenity expects that as the CPO market size grows from nearly zero to between $81 billion and $91 billion in about a year and a half, Sivers is likely to replicate Lumentum's growth path and may grow into a company with a market value of around $75 billion in the coming years. However, the above views only represent the personal judgment of market analysts.

According to BBX data, yesterday the intertwining news of traditional finance's entry into cryptocurrency and corporate reserve exits presented the following core dynamics:SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: $SOFI) announced through a BusinessWire official press release that its SoFiUSD stablecoin has officially opened to approximately 14.7 million members within the SoFi app, supporting buying, selling, holding, and conversion, becoming the first national bank in U.S. history to embed its own stablecoin within a banking app (the issuer is SoFi Bank, N.A., regulated by the OCC). SoFiUSD (on-chain code SOFID) is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar and can be used on the Ethereum and Solana networks, with reserves backed by liquid assets and subject to regular independent CPA audits; in the coming weeks, tokenized deposits and 24/7 cross-border transfer functions will be launched, and an institutional trading channel will be opened in collaboration with Bullish exchange. SoFi CEO Anthony Noto stated, "Users no longer have to choose between blockchain technology and regulated bank products." The company's Q1 2026 crypto trading revenue reached $121.6 million, with a net income of approximately $852,000 after costs; SoFiUSD is not insured by FDIC or SIPC, does not constitute legal tender, and on-chain transactions are generally irreversible.Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: $COIN) and the prediction market platform Kalshi announced that the two platforms have received approval from the CFTC to launch cryptocurrency perpetual contract products for U.S. customers, becoming the first exchanges approved to offer such products within the U.S.; this move by the CFTC officially brings perpetual contracts from a regulatory gray area into the federal derivatives legal framework, and a policy statement was released simultaneously, indicating that future applications for perpetual contracts in other asset classes will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In 2025, the global trading volume of cryptocurrency perpetual contracts reached $61.7 trillion (up 29% year-on-year, according to CryptoQuant data), and the U.S. previously lacked regulated domestic trading venues. This approval is expected to drive a significant amount of institutional and retail funds back from offshore platforms to compliant channels in the U.S., with several other exchanges expected to follow suit with applications.Sequans Communications S.A. (NASDAQ: $SQNS) CEO Georges Karam clearly announced during the recent Q1 2026 earnings call that the company has completely terminated its previously initiated Bitcoin treasury reserve strategy. The company began its cryptocurrency layout in June 2025, raising approximately $384 million through debt and equity financing, and quickly accumulated 3,000 BTC by the end of July 2025; however, the crypto market crash in October 2025 triggered the company to deleverage, selling 970 BTC in November 2025 and another 1,025 BTC in Q1 2026; as of now, it holds approximately 658 BTC (completely debt-free, worth about $46.8 million), and the company stated it will gradually liquidate over time, with all funds returning to its core chip business. Sequans is an IoT/5G semiconductor company, and this case is one of the most significant "failed corporate Bitcoin reserve strategy cases" in 2026.

DeepSeek plans to raise approximately $7 billion in its first round of financing, with a valuation of up to $59 billion. Tencent and CATL will become DeepSeek's largest external investors; NetEase and JD.com also plan to participate in the investment.

According to a report by Reuters, SpaceX plans to set the initial public offering (IPO) price at $135 per share, intending to issue approximately 555.6 million shares, raising up to $75 billion, corresponding to a company valuation of about $1.75 trillion. If successfully completed, it will become one of the largest IPO projects in the history of the global capital market.The report states that SpaceX's roadshow will kick off this Thursday. Unlike traditional IPOs that usually provide a price range first, SpaceX has clarified its target issue price before the roadshow, which is a relatively rare arrangement. The market expects this roadshow to become one of the most closely watched IPO promotional events in recent years.It is noteworthy that SpaceX has previously completed a merger with xAI, forming a comprehensive platform covering aerospace, satellite communications, and artificial intelligence businesses. The raised funds will primarily be used to expand AI computing power infrastructure and further develop the Starlink satellite network.According to reports, SpaceX is also considering allocating up to about 30% of the offering shares to retail investors to meet market demand and expand the shareholder base. At the same time, Elon Musk will be required to hold his shares for at least 366 days after the IPO to signal a long-term holding commitment to the market.

Solana's official announcement "Building Fully On-Chain Perpetual Contracts on Solana" aims to vigorously promote the ecological construction of fully on-chain perpetual contracts (Perps) in the future, with the goal of making Solana the world's strongest on-chain financial derivatives infrastructure. Currently, the trading volume of crypto derivatives is mainly concentrated on centralized trading platforms or hybrid models that rely on off-chain matching engines, which Solana believes is a transitional phase. It hopes to make a truly fully on-chain derivatives market a reality through the characteristics of high-performance blockchain—where all processes such as order submission, price updates, matching, and clearing are completed on-chain, while maintaining institutional-level speed and low costs.The Solana Foundation will provide funding, technical support, and resource allocation, focusing on supporting projects that meet the following criteria: fully on-chain execution, price discovery based on real bilateral liquidity (rather than purely pool pricing), Solana priority with revenue flowing back on-chain, teams with derivatives experience, and core code being open source. It also welcomes the co-construction of surrounding infrastructure such as front ends, aggregators, vaults, and market-making tools.

According to market news, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated during the Marvell CEO keynote speech at the Computex conference in Taiwan that Marvell is expected to become "the next trillion-dollar company."

The blockchain security agency PeckShield has issued an alert stating that Gnosis Pay is currently undergoing a security attack. Meanwhile, Gnosis co-founder Martin Köppelmann has publicly urged users to immediately withdraw their GNO and EURe assets to mitigate potential risks.Market analysis indicates that Gnosis Pay, as an important infrastructure connecting payment scenarios with on-chain assets, may face short-term selling pressure on Gnosis GNO and the euro stablecoin EURe if it is confirmed that funds have been stolen or protocol vulnerabilities exploited, further affecting market sentiment for Gnosis ecosystem-related projects.Currently, the official has not disclosed the scale of the attack, the amount of losses, or specific technical details, and the situation is still developing. Users holding related assets or using Gnosis Pay services should closely monitor official follow-up announcements and assess their risk exposure in a timely manner.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, the new address 0x82C...2ebD1 withdrew 5 million USDT and 0.5 BNB in miner fees from Bybit 17 hours ago, and then purchased 8.1 million Binance Life at an average price of $0.61417, holding 0.81% of the token chips, becoming a TOP 20 holder on-chain.This buying behavior drove the price up by 32% (from $0.5314 to $0.702), and it has now fallen back to $0.6246, with a 24-hour increase of 25%.

According to Marketscreener, Swedish Economic Crime Authority prosecutor Jonas Myrdal stated that the early leak of news on social platform X regarding Sivers Semiconductors (SIVE) considering a dual listing in the U.S., which was officially confirmed by the company about 48 hours later, is not a coincidence and is highly likely to involve information leakage.Jonas Myrdal pointed out that the relevant information was published and continuously promoted on the X platform by an anonymous account with about 200,000 followers before the official disclosure, which subsequently led to a significant increase in the company's stock price within a short period. This pattern of behavior is similar to a previous case involving "pump-and-dump" manipulation, in which three individuals were convicted of serious market manipulation. He further suggested that the Nasdaq exchange should investigate this incident and assess whether there are violations of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). Currently, the source of the information leak is still under investigation.Previously, the "new stock god" Serenity posted on the X platform, seemingly "calling" Sivers, and expressed an optimistic outlook after further reviewing the latest earnings call content of Sivers Semiconductors. The company's management stated that "viewing ecological partners as competitors is not the correct mindset in a super cycle where demand far exceeds supply," reflecting the current strong demand in the photonics industry. Additionally, the photonics business pipeline has rapidly grown over the past five months, driving an overall revenue pipeline increase of 77%.

Jason Smith, the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' fundraising committee, stated that digital asset tax legislation must receive bipartisan support; otherwise, the related bill process will not advance. Subsequently, U.S. Representatives Steven Horsford, Max Miller, Suzan DelBene, and Mike Carey jointly proposed the "Digital Asset Protection, Accountability, Regulation, Innovation, Taxation, and Revenue Act" (PARITY Act). The bill aims to update digital asset tax rules, provide a clearer regulatory framework for the market, while enhancing investor protection and preventing market manipulation.Representative Steven Horsford stated that the bill will help ordinary investors participate more safely in the digital asset market and promote wealth accumulation opportunities. Max Miller believes that the current U.S. tax laws are unable to adapt to the rapid development of digital assets and modern financial technology. Currently, the PARITY Act and the advancing CLARITY Act are seen as important components of establishing a comprehensive regulatory system for crypto assets in the United States.The U.S. Congress released a tax policy discussion draft in March this year and held a bipartisan roundtable in May to discuss the tax framework for crypto assets. The market is closely watching whether the CLARITY Act can be passed by 2026. Analysts believe that if both the CLARITY Act and the PARITY Act are ultimately legislated and combined with the subsequent rule-making of the GENIUS Act, the U.S. crypto industry will welcome a clearer regulatory environment, further promoting Web3 and DeFi into the mainstream financial system.

According to an official announcement from Coinbase, Coinbase Financial Markets has become the first and only futures commission merchant (FCM) regulated by the CFTC in the United States, officially providing U.S. institutional clients with access to the global cryptocurrency derivatives market.Previously, U.S. users lacked compliant channels to access the global cryptocurrency derivatives market (which accounts for about 80% of global cryptocurrency trading volume). Currently, the open interest in Deribit Bitcoin options has exceeded $31 billion.With this launch, institutional clients can access international platforms such as Deribit through a single compliant channel, without the need to establish offshore entities. Retail user access services will also be launched soon.

According to PRNewswire, the stablecoin issuer Paxos announced that its subsidiary Paxos Securities Settlement Company, LLC (PSSC) has received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to officially register as a clearing agency, providing securities clearing and settlement services under the Securities Exchange Act.It is reported that this registration makes PSSC the first blockchain-native approved registered clearing agency in the United States, capable of providing clearing and settlement services as a Central Securities Depository (CSD) for qualified securities transactions.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recommended the Interfold project, stating, "More people should learn about Interfold, which is a general implementation of the MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) concept that I have been advocating for nearly a decade. This project is essentially a privacy protocol optimized for scenarios such as voting and secret auctions, allowing more people to pay attention to and understand this technological advancement."Vitalik also mentioned that the core mechanisms of Interfold include generating threshold encryption keys, users submitting votes on-chain with ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proof) credentials, and threshold decryption after arbitrary computation in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which can achieve unconditional voter anonymity, Ethereum-level censorship resistance, and ZK over FHE ensuring result correctness, among other strong security guarantees. The current main limitation is the high cost of complex computations (such as multiplication), with only addition-based voting being mature, and optimizations like slashing-based approaches are being advanced, with a long-term goal of implementing obfuscation techniques to eliminate M-of-N committee dependency.

Aave Labs' UK subsidiaries Push Labs Ltd and Push Virtual Assets Ltd have been approved by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to register as local cryptocurrency trading service providers. Aave stated that these licenses allow Push to conduct regulated cryptocurrency and payment-related businesses in the UK.In addition to cryptocurrency registration, Push has also been approved to issue electronic money under electronic money regulations. The two companies have been assigned FCA registration numbers 1031720 and 1031721, with anti-money laundering regulations applicable under the "2017 Anti-Money Laundering and Transfer of Funds Regulations."

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that, according to private messages made public last year by Brian Quintenz, a former CFTC chair nominee appointed by Trump, he previously refused to comment on enforcement actions related to Gemini before formally confirming the chair position.Eleanor Terrett stated that, at present, current CFTC chair Caroline Pham has aligned her position with the Winklevoss brothers, believing that the CFTC should not have sued Gemini from the beginning.She further indicated that whether to revoke the relevant consent order will be decided by a judge in the Southern District of New York. A legal expert stated that this move constitutes a "highly unusual step."
