According to Hong Kong's East Network, a 34-year-old man from the mainland traveled to Hong Kong with a two-way permit. During his time there, he reportedly lost about 500,000 yuan on a cryptocurrency platform and, feeling frustrated, expressed suicidal tendencies on social media and planned to go to Hong Kong.Law enforcement agencies launched an investigation after receiving relevant information and intercepted the man at around 12:30 PM on May 14 at a fast-food restaurant on Admiralty Road. A lighter and suspected gasoline were found on him. The police arrested him on suspicion of "possessing any item with the intent to destroy or damage property" and he is currently being detained for investigation.Reports indicate that no one was injured in the incident, and there was no need for evacuation at the scene. The man is said to have complained multiple times to the relevant platform about his investment losses but did not receive a satisfactory response.

Chainalysis posted on the X platform that before the theft of THORChain, wallets suspected to be associated with the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several weeks. The attacker-associated wallets had already deposited into Hyperliquid positions via the Hyperliquid and Monero privacy bridge as early as the end of April. The funds were then exchanged for USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, and later bridged to Ethereum, with some ETH subsequently transferred to THORChain to become staked RUNE for newly added nodes, which are believed to be the source of the attack.Afterward, the attacker bridged some RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four pathways, one of which went directly to the attacker. After being transferred through intermediate wallets, 8 ETH was sent to the final wallet receiving the stolen funds 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three pathways flowed in the opposite direction. These wallets bridged ETH back to Arbitrum, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero through the same privacy bridge, with the last transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack began.As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds have not yet been used, but the attacker has demonstrated their skilled cross-chain money laundering capabilities, and the Hyperliquid to Monero path may become the next move.

According to CoinDesk, billionaire real estate investor Grant Cardone stated at the Consensus Miami 2026 event that he has added $100 million in Bitcoin as part of his hybrid strategy combining Bitcoin with income-generating real estate.Cardone revealed that he previously purchased 1,000 BTC for Cardone Capital in 2025, and currently has a total Bitcoin exposure of about $200 million. He believes that this model of combining Bitcoin with real estate can challenge traditional real estate investment trusts (REITs), and this strategy does not involve putting real estate assets on the blockchain, but rather incorporating Bitcoin into the real estate investment structure.

According to CoinDesk, real estate investor Grant Cardone stated at the Consensus conference that his company has simultaneously increased its holdings of $100 million in Bitcoin to its corporate treasury as part of a $235 million real estate acquisition.Cardone indicated that this latest allocation is an addition to an earlier Bitcoin purchase made in 2025. At that time, Cardone Capital incorporated 1,000 Bitcoins into its balance sheet, with that position valued slightly above $100 million, bringing the company's total Bitcoin exposure to about $200 million. He believes that this combination strategy of holding income-generating real estate along with Bitcoin will outperform real estate investment trusts (REITs).Cardone stated that traditional REITs can never structurally incorporate Bitcoin into their balance sheets, while his strategy aims to combine stable real estate cash flow with the upside potential of Bitcoin, expecting to achieve returns of 22% to 32%. He mentioned that 80% of the investors in the company's fund had never held Bitcoin before, and this strategy is designed to introduce this asset to crypto newcomers.
