Stablecoin issuer Tether announced a strategic financing round investment of $20 million in the Latin American on-chain financial services platform Mercado Bitcoin to support its development in asset tokenization, payments, credit, capital markets, and compliant digital financial services.Founded in 2013, Mercado Bitcoin has expanded from a digital asset trading platform to a comprehensive on-chain financial infrastructure platform, covering areas such as trading services, tokenized investment products, lending, stablecoin payments, banking infrastructure, and cross-border financial services. The funds from this financing will primarily be used to expand payment infrastructure, increase the scale of tokenized products for institutional and retail investors, develop credit business, advance on-chain capital market construction, seek strategic cooperation opportunities, and promote international expansion.

Michael Saylor stated that the biggest evolution of Bitcoin in the next decade will come from fewer changes at the protocol layer and a greater role in other areas. He believes that the foundational layer of Bitcoin will become more solid, capital markets will continue to deepen, applications will expand, institutions will enter, and the world will build on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a tech stock, a payment company, or a software platform competing to add features, but a monetary network whose purpose is not to act quickly and disrupt things, but to move slowly and remain unbroken.Saylor indicated that Bitcoin has won the first important battle, and the world is increasingly understanding that Bitcoin is digital capital, possessing attributes such as scarcity, durability, portability, divisibility, programmability, and global transferability. The strongest version of Bitcoin is not to "replace all payment rails," but to become a neutral, global, scarce asset around which capital, credit, and commerce are organized. The foundational layer is not optimized for coffee payments, but designed for final settlement, reserve assets, collateral settlement, and ultimate ownership transfer.He believes that the four-year cycle of Bitcoin is still important, but no longer the dominant model. In the next decade, Bitcoin's price movements will be driven less by miner issuance and more by capital flows from ETFs, corporate treasuries, sovereign reserves, bank credit, derivatives, insurance, collateral, and global savings. Halving will tighten supply, while capital flows will determine the growth trajectory. Digital credit will accelerate Bitcoin adoption, connecting Bitcoin capital with the broader financial system.Saylor stated that the main question in the next decade is not whether Bitcoin can survive, but whether economic exposure is still connected to real Bitcoin or if too much "paper Bitcoin" is being formed. Custodial transparency, proof of reserves, risk management, capital structure, and counterparty risk will all become important.He expects that by 2036, Bitcoin will be more widely held, more deeply institutionalized, more politically significant, and become an important collateral asset in the digital credit market; while the foundational protocol itself may change less than everything built around it.

Abracadabra Finance announced that it has recognized the depegging issue of the MIM stablecoin and is taking emergency measures. Starting today, it will gradually increase the interest rates of all Cauldrons (including deprecated markets) to encourage debt repayment and reduce the circulating supply of MIM. The current depegging provides borrowers with a natural incentive to repay their debts at a discount, which helps accelerate supply contraction. Direct incentives and Curve bribes will be suspended until MIM regains its peg. The team stated that it is evaluating additional recovery plans and will announce them in a timely manner.Data shows that MIM is currently priced at $0.5027, with a 24-hour decline of 36.65%.

On-chain analyst PlanB expressed the view on the X platform that, from the ETH/BTC comparison chart, Ethereum's overall performance over the past decade has been significantly weaker than Bitcoin.Data shows that the current ETH/BTC ratio is approximately 0.026, which is comparable to the level in March 2016, indicating that ETH has returned to the value position it held relative to BTC ten years ago. During the Bitcoin bull market of 2023/2024, ETH did not experience a significant increase, a similar situation also occurred in 2017 and 2021, and even now, Ethereum still lacks upward momentum relative to Bitcoin.

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.

Coinbase released a retrospective report on the large-scale service interruption event on May 7, 2026.The outage lasted approximately 8 hours, with full recovery taking about 12 hours. During this time, trading, deposits, withdrawals, and most core services were unavailable or severely degraded. Coinbase stated that the outage was caused by multiple cooling units failing simultaneously in the cooling system of a data center in one availability zone (use1-az4) in the AWS us-east-1 region, triggering cabinet thermal protection shutdowns, which led to EC2 instances and EBS volumes going offline, affecting multiple internet services.During the recovery process, the Coinbase trading matching engine lost quorum due to the cluster architecture deployed in a single AWS data center losing most nodes. It required urgent code adjustments and the reconstruction of a new node group to restore operation, gradually restarting market trading during the recovery.Additionally, the AWS-managed Kafka (MSK) service experienced control plane failures, preventing the automatic re-election of partition leaders, further blocking quotes, fees, and some settlement and data flow systems, which expanded the overall impact.After manual partition migration in collaboration with the AWS engineering team, the system gradually returned to normal. Coinbase stated that this incident exposed its shortcomings in cross-availability zone automatic switching capabilities and disaster recovery for managed middleware. The company will upgrade its cross-region hot backup architecture, strengthen regular failure drills, and migrate the Kafka system from dual availability zones to a three availability zone deployment, while also working with AWS to advance root cause fixes and improvements.

A white hat hacker using the alias "0xflorent" stated on X on Sunday that he has helped recover approximately 1,003 ETH (worth about $2 million) from a faulty smart contract of the Hong Coin (HONG) token sale in 2016, involving 48 investors.Hong Coin was originally designed as a community-operated decentralized venture capital fund, with the token sale starting on August 29, 2016, and ending on October 28 of the same year, but it failed to launch due to not reaching its funding goal. The contract was supposed to automatically refund investors, but a vulnerability in the refund function caused the funds to be locked for nearly a decade.0xflorent collaborated with the HONG creator to exploit an administrator function with an integer overflow vulnerability, resetting the token holders' balances and triggering the refund mechanism through specific inputs, successfully extracting the locked funds. According to Etherscan data, one investor has already received a refund of 96 ETH (approximately $192,500). Previously, on May 24, 0xflorent also recovered 19.33 ETH from another failed token sale project from 2018.

VanEck analyst Matthew Sigel, whose managed assets total $200 billion, stated that the digital credit market could expand to $2.5 trillion in the next decade, while the price of BTC is expected to reach $1 million. Matthew Sigel noted that this goal is "absolutely within reach."

In the past ten years, the cumulative loss was $17.1 billion, involving 518 incidents; in the past five years, the loss was approximately $15.2 billion, involving over 450 incidents; in the past year, the loss was about $2.5 billion, involving over 140 incidents. Recent losses indicate that crypto attacks have shifted from smart contract vulnerabilities to private key leaks and access control.
