Consumers are squeezed by energy prices, with orders in related industries falling to the lowest levels since the pandemic, and finance and corporate services are also impacted by high interest rates. Cost-side inflation is rising, which may temporarily push up prices, but weak demand and cooling employment may ease concerns.

Arthur Hayes stated during the "The Rollup" podcast on May 22nd that currently, only AI stocks are rising in the global capital markets, while other sectors are almost completely dormant. He analyzed three main reasons behind this: consumer unemployment leading to decreased demand, AI giants absorbing all available global credit, and governments prioritizing AI capital expenditure, which compresses financing space for other industries. Hayes straightforwardly said this is not a "rising tide lifts all boats" bull market; in crypto, only a few tokens are strengthening, making it a tough period for most people.

CoinWorld News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted a message stating that more people should understand the Interfold protocol. He pointed out that this protocol essentially realizes the vision he has been advocating for nearly a decade, which is to build based on the Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) concept, and presents it in a more generalized form. Interfold is a privacy protocol optimized for scenarios such as voting and anonymous auctions, whose mechanism generates threshold encryption keys, allowing users to submit ballots on-chain and use zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) to verify eligibility.

Currently, perpetual contracts long positions are paying approximately $390k per hour in funding fees to short positions, far above the 7-day average of $220k, indicating that longs are in the lead and holding costs are rising. Since May 12, the long premium has continued to widen. Open interest is decreasing, and liquidation and reduction of positions are underway. If BTC falls below a key support level again, it may trigger chain reactions of forced liquidations and downward squeezes; spot demand and on-chain activity are relatively low, increasing leverage risk. It is recommended to exercise caution when participating, consider dollar-cost averaging into spot, or gradually build long-term positions.

According to Blockaid monitoring, StakeDAO was hacked on Arbitrum. The attacker has minted more than 5.4 trillion vsdCRV tokens and exchanged some of the tokens for $91,000 worth of ETH. It is suspected that the private key of the StakeDAO deployer was compromised; the attacker then used this to reconfigure the LayerZero v2 OFT peer in the vsdCRV token contract, shifting cross-chain trust from the legitimate Ethereum side adapter to a contract controlled by the attacker, thereby completing malicious cross-chain minting. StakeDAO has reminded users not to interact with vsdCRV. Multiple security monitors report that, due to limited liquidity, the attacker’s actual cash-out amount is approximately $91,000.
