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.

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.

Dragonfly partner Haseeb tweeted to clarify the recently fixed vulnerability in Zcash. He stated that if the vulnerability had been exploited before the fix (although the probability is extremely low), it would manifest as the privacy pool minting false ZEC. Attackers would need to sell quickly, but since the market primarily trades transparent ZEC, they cannot directly sell the unmasked privacy ZEC on mainstream exchanges. Therefore, the losses would mainly be borne by users holding privacy ZEC, with almost no impact on holders of transparent ZEC and price discovery.Haseeb emphasized that the Zcash team will introduce a new turnstile mechanism and a brand new privacy pool in the next upgrade to verify that the privacy pool has not been inflated. He also has high hopes for formal verification technology, believing it is an important path for enhancing software security across the industry in the future, especially crucial for privacy protocols.

According to the Financial Times, Goldman Sachs expects that one of the core assumptions for SpaceX's $1.78 trillion initial public offering valuation is that its AI division's revenue will grow approximately 100 times by 2030 compared to 2025, increasing from $3.2 billion to $322 billion; SpaceX's total revenue is expected to rise from $18.7 billion to $474 billion during the same period. The prospectus shows that xAI will incur a loss of $6.4 billion in 2025.Goldman Sachs also predicts that the division's revenue will grow by 388% year-on-year to $15.6 billion in 2026, reaching $34.5 billion in 2027; Starlink and rocket business revenues are expected to be $144 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively, by 2030.

According to BSCN, long-time Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff recently stated that Tether's market capitalization will not only surpass Ethereum in the future but will ultimately exceed Bitcoin as well. He believes that the only uncertainty that exists is not the outcome, but how long this process will take to complete.Schiff stated that as the application of stablecoins continues to expand in payments, transaction settlements, and the circulation of digital dollars, the market demand for USDT may continue to grow faster than for volatile assets like Bitcoin. He insists that Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value, while stablecoins have a clearer use in actual financial activities.However, Schiff also mentioned that after the recent market crash, Bitcoin has gained short-term support around $61,000. BTC has rebounded more than $2,000 from its recent low, indicating that there is some buying support in that area.

At the annual shareholder meeting held in Hsinchu, TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei stated that the global chip supply will still be unable to meet the surge in AI demand in the coming years. Even though TSMC is expanding its capacity in the United States, it will be difficult to fully meet the needs of American customers, and achieving a balance between supply and demand will take a long time.C.C. Wei reiterated that TSMC's sales are still expected to grow by more than 30% this year. The company's capital expenditure is expected to approach the upper limit of $56 billion this year, while global major hyperscale cloud service providers are expected to spend $725 billion in the AI sector. Affected by Broadcom's performance outlook, TSMC's stock price in Taipei fell slightly by 1%, but the cumulative increase over the past three years has exceeded four times. C.C. Wei also stated that the average bonus for employees will increase by more than 30% this year.

Drift Protocol stated that its current top priority is to restart the platform and restore revenue-generating capabilities to expedite the recovery process of user funds. After the platform restarts, it will become the largest USDT-based perpetual contract trading platform on Solana, and the related revenue will be used to support a specially established user compensation fund.Drift claims that substantial progress has been made in the restart efforts with strategic support from Tether and other partners. To enhance security, Drift announced the appointment of Noah Prince, the former head of engineering at Helium Protocol, as the protocol lead, responsible for protocol restructuring and security system upgrades.Meanwhile, former members of the Gauntlet team have also joined the restart efforts, providing risk management and treasury design support for the platform, including clearing engine reviews, funding rate optimization, market parameter adjustments, and ongoing risk monitoring. Additionally, Drift has hired the cybersecurity company Mandiant to conduct an independent forensic investigation of the attack incident.The investigation results indicate that this attack can be clearly attributed to the North Korean hacker group UNC6862, which is associated with multiple cyber attack operations. Drift stated that it will continue to prioritize security in advancing the platform restart and will announce the user compensation mechanism and specific timeline in the future.

According to Bitcoin.com, in May, the total revenue of Bitcoin miners reached $1.086 billion, breaking the $1 billion mark for the first time since January, with block subsidies accounting for $1.079 billion and transaction fees contributing minimally. However, with the decline in Bitcoin prices, miners are facing profitability pressure.Hashrate has dropped from the 1000 EH/s range to below 975 EH/s, and daily revenue per PH/s (mining price) has decreased from $37.44 a month ago to about $30.77, a decline of 17.82%. The block output interval has extended to 10 minutes and 49 seconds, and it is expected that the network difficulty may decrease by 7.5% around June 13. The proportion of transaction fees in the block reward has rebounded from less than 0.6% to about 1.16% in the past 24 hours, providing a slight buffer for miners.

European Central Bank Governing Council member Wunsch stated that a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran reached before next week's European Central Bank meeting would not weaken the rationale for interest rate hikes. Wunsch said, "If a peace agreement is indeed reached on the eve of the meeting, it will become part of the discussion.But we cannot know if it is lasting or credible." He hinted at supporting a 25 basis point rate hike by the European Central Bank. He believes that if the conflict remains unresolved, discussions among policymakers before setting rates on June 11 "will be quite easy." If a peace agreement is reached between the U.S. and Iran, the discussions "may be slightly less easy. But the rationale for a rate hike may still exist, just not as strong." He stated, "At some point, we cannot let the market bear everything. We need to take a stand."

According to Forbes, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned about the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, stating that if stablecoin issuers are allowed to provide returns to users in a manner similar to bank deposit interest, the related model could eventually collapse.Dimon stated that the bill allows cryptocurrency companies to offer returns similar to deposit interest through stablecoin accounts without the corresponding regulatory protections, and the banking industry would not accept such arrangements. He said, "I am not worried about stablecoins themselves, but if this happens, I will not participate, and it will ultimately collapse."The CLARITY Act aims to clarify the regulatory framework for the U.S. cryptocurrency industry and delineate the responsibilities of regulatory agencies. Previously, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the U.S. Digital Asset Advisory Committee, stated that the Trump administration planned to push for the bill's passage before July 4. However, Polymarket data shows that the probability of the CLARITY Act passing by 2026 has fallen from nearly 70% to just above 50%.

According to a report by Politico, a document submitted by the European Commission to member states and the European Parliament shows that the EU is assessing the possibility of incorporating the cryptocurrency industry into a unified tax system to find new sources of fiscal revenue for the 2028-2034 budget cycle.The document estimates that if a tax rate of 0.1% is applied to cryptocurrency transaction volumes, it could bring in about 3 billion to 4 billion euros in revenue for the EU each year; if capital gains from cryptocurrencies are taxed, it is expected to increase fiscal revenue by about 1 billion to 2.4 billion euros annually.However, the European Commission also pointed out that due to the still inadequate data related to the cryptocurrency industry, there is significant uncertainty in the current revenue forecasts, and the actual results may differ from the estimates.The relevant proposal is still in the evaluation stage, and to be formally implemented, it requires unanimous approval from all 27 EU member states. If progress goes smoothly, this will become one of the most important discussions on unified tax policy for the cryptocurrency industry in the EU.

According to The Block, quantitative market maker Wintermute has announced its entry into the prediction market sector, providing two-way quote liquidity services for several mainstream event contract platforms, marking the official expansion of its trading infrastructure into the emerging market at the intersection of crypto and traditional assets.The company stated that it has been continuously providing buy and sell bilateral quotes on multiple "leading platforms," with the total monthly trading volume of these prediction markets exceeding $20 billion this year, indicating that this sector is growing rapidly but still in the early stages of liquidity. Wintermute's annual trading volume exceeds $3.5 trillion, and this expansion further strengthens its cross-asset market-making capabilities.Jake Ostrovskis, head of OTC trading at the company, stated that prediction markets have a demand structure similar to traditional major asset classes, but liquidity is still insufficient, requiring continuous bilateral quotes to enhance price discovery efficiency and trading depth. He pointed out that tighter spreads and greater trading capacity will improve the quality of market probability signals.In the industry, institutions such as Jump Trading and Galaxy Digital have also entered this field, with some platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi having a cumulative trading volume exceeding $150 billion. Analysts believe that Wintermute's entry further promotes the integration of prediction markets and crypto infrastructure, especially in terms of stablecoin settlement, on-chain clearing, and risk management systems, as these markets gradually approach a derivatives-level institutional development structure.
