Alliance Founder: The crypto network will eventually become the default settlement layer of the internet

Imran Khan, co-founder of Alliance, stated on the X platform that he remains optimistic about the development prospects of the cryptocurrency industry, noting that the market has previously overestimated the speed at which cryptocurrency would become the next mainstream computing paradigm. Many had originally expected cryptocurrency to lead the next platform revolution, but ultimately, it has largely been artificial intelligence (AI) that has taken on this role.Khan pointed out that over the past decade, a significant amount of capital has flowed into the cryptocurrency industry, but a considerable portion of that funding has been used for overbuilding. The industry has not focused on a few applications with clear advantages but has attempted to reshape multiple fields such as finance, social networking, and governance simultaneously. The adjustments and consolidations currently experienced in the market are essentially a natural return after previous overexpansion and do not mean that the core logic of the cryptocurrency industry has failed.He believes that the greatest path to success for the cryptocurrency industry may not be to first create a killer application, but rather to become the global financial infrastructure. As stablecoins, cryptocurrency wallets, tokenized stocks, and on-chain financial services reach more users through digital banking and ultimately serve AI agents, the cryptocurrency network will become the default value settlement layer of the internet. Once these infrastructures are widely adopted, innovations such as DAOs, decentralized markets, and machine-to-machine payments, which were previously difficult to implement due to timing, may finally see true large-scale application opportunities.

Next week's macro outlook: US CPI alongside the decisions of two major central banks, SpaceX IPO is coming in strong

According to Jinshi reports, after the release of significantly better-than-expected non-farm payroll data on Friday, market expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes this year surged, causing spot gold to plummet sharply, nearly erasing all gains for the year, marking a fourth consecutive week of declines. Silver's overall trend mirrored that of gold but with slightly stronger volatility, closing down 9.85% for the week. The U.S. dollar index, buoyed by the unexpected non-farm data, rose significantly to just above the 100 mark. Following the non-farm data on Friday, U.S. tech stocks suffered heavy losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 1.35%, the S&P 500 index fell 2.65%, marking the largest single-day drop since October 2025; the Nasdaq dropped 4.18%, the largest single-day decline since April 2025.Goldman Sachs believes that the current market sentiment is clearly more greedy than fearful. Deutsche Bank pointed out that the market is highly sensitive to any negative news involving Iran. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week (all times are in Beijing time):Monday 23:00, U.S. May New York Fed 1-year inflation expectations;Tuesday 14:00, Germany April seasonally adjusted industrial production month-on-month, April seasonally adjusted trade balance;Tuesday 18:00, U.S. May NFIB Small Business Confidence Index;Tuesday 20:15, U.S. ADP employment change for the week ending May 23;Wednesday 20:30, U.S. May unadjusted CPI, May seasonally adjusted CPI/core CPI month-on-month;Wednesday 21:45, Bank of Canada announces interest rate decision;Thursday 20:15, European Central Bank announces interest rate decision;Thursday 20:30, U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending June 6, May PPI year-on-year/month-on-month;Friday 14:00, Germany May CPI month-on-month final value;Friday 14:45, France May CPI month-on-month final value;Friday 22:00, U.S. June 1-year inflation expectations preliminary value, June University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index preliminary value.In the coming week, the market will face a series of important events, but the most anticipated remains the potential initial public offering (IPO) of SpaceX. According to current plans, this transaction may launch on Friday, and if it proceeds, it is expected to have a significant impact on overall market sentiment, although the specific direction is still difficult to determine.In addition to SpaceX, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, earnings reports, and TSMC's May sales data may also become important factors influencing market volatility. Next week, U.S. stocks will enter a relatively calm phase of earnings season; although the overall number of reports is not large, heavyweight tech companies Oracle and Adobe will take the stage one after another, becoming the focus of market attention.

In the past six years, the five major virtual asset platforms in South Korea have experienced 57 incidents of hacking and system failures, with a total compensation amount reaching 7 billion won

According to the Korea Herald, the five major virtual asset trading platforms in South Korea (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, Gopax) have experienced a total of 57 hacking and system failure incidents over the past six years (from 2020 to April 2026), with a total compensation amount of approximately 7 billion Korean won (about 5.1 million USD). By exchange, the number of incidents is as follows: Upbit 26 incidents, Bithumb 14 incidents, Gopax 8 incidents, Coinone 6 incidents, Korbit 3 incidents.Among them, Bithumb compensated approximately 2.5 billion Korean won (about 1.8 million USD) for the BTC misissue incident in February this year, Upbit compensated approximately 790 million Korean won (about 570,000 USD) for a hacking incident in November 2025, and compensated approximately 3.2 billion Korean won (about 2.3 million USD) for a system incident on December 3, 2024. It is worth noting that the standards for compiling incident reports by exchanges and the scale and form of compensation vary. For example, Gopax counts errors that occur when viewing the asset list as system failures, while Bithumb only counts situations where all customers encounter difficulties using core services for more than 10 minutes as system failures.In addition, Bithumb also provided some applicants who suffered losses due to system failures with free fee vouchers instead of cash compensation. The compensation amounts for system failures are as follows: Upbit approximately 3.21 billion Korean won, Bithumb approximately 3.2 billion Korean won, Coinone approximately 49 million Korean won. Korbit and Gopax did not provide any compensation.

Nearly four years after Do Kwon was imprisoned, there are still community members steadfastly supporting Terra Luna Classic and looking forward to an "epic revival."

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.
