According to BlockBeats news, on May 20th, Vitalik Buterin posted on social media, listing a number of short-term initiatives for native privacy that Ethereum is currently pursuing, including the combination of AA and FOCIL (which provides first-class support and strong packaging guarantees for privacy protocol transactions), the Keyed Nonces solution, and access layer-related work (covering functions such as Kohaku and private read).

BlockBeats reported that on May 20, Cathie Wood's investment company Ark Invest purchased a total of about $4.4 million worth of Bullish stock through three exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over two trading days this Monday and Tuesday. Based on Ark's daily trading disclosures and closing price, Ark bought 52,308 shares on Monday and 69,712 shares on Tuesday, involving three ETFs: Innovation ETF (ARKK), Next Internet ETF (ARKW), and Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF). This purchase came after Bullish shares fell continuously. Over the past five trading days, Bullish's stock price has fallen 15.4% cumulatively, rebounding 1.88% on Tuesday to close at $36.23. Despite a slight rebound, the stock has still fallen 16.7% over the past month. ARK actively adjusts its ETF holdings to ensure that no single stock accounts for more than 10% of the fund portfolio. When the value of certain assets fluctuates significantly, weight rebalancing is performed; this increase is a routine management operation. On the fundamentals front, last week Bullish released mixed first-quarter results. The company posted a net loss of $604.9 million, nearly doubling compared to the same period last year, but adjusted revenue increased from $62.4 million to $92.8 million. CEO Tom Farley pointed out that the company's recent $4.2 billion acquisition of Equiniti is a potential growth catalyst, aiming to combine Bullish's tokenization technology stack with a regulated agency to create an integrated blockchain-empowered issuance service provider. Background information shows that Bullish will go public in August 2025, issuing 30 million shares at $37 per share. According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, the company remains the sixth largest public holder of Bitcoin, holding about 24,300 BTC.

According to BlockBeats news on May 20, according to the Wall Street Journal, manufacturing startup SendCutSend completed a $110 million financing, co-led by Sequoia Capital, cryptocurrency venture capital fund Paradigm, and Stripe co-founders Patrick Collison and John Collison, bringing its valuation to $1 billion. It is reported that Paradigm was originally a top crypto-native venture capital institution, managing approximately $12.7 billion in assets. But since 2023, the agency has begun to adjust its strategic direction: removing "encryption" and "Web3" related expressions from its official website, and co-founder Matt Huang publicly stated that "the development of AI is too interesting to ignore." In this context, investing in SendCutSend aligns with Paradigm's logic of expanding in the direction of "AI + Robotics + Advanced Manufacturing".

According to ChainCatcher and GoPlus monitoring, the hacker group TeamPCP claims to have obtained source code from about 4,000 private repositories within GitHub, sold it at an underground price of $50,000 on an underground forum, and supported sample verification.

According to Bijie.com, Galaxy Research has raised the probability of passing the Clarity Act to 75%. Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, said the Senate Banking Committee's bi-party vote of 15 to 9 on May 14 is the breakthrough needed for the bill. In his May 16 weekly report, Thorn released a timeline: mediation between the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committee in early June, Senate review in mid-June, final vote completed by the end of June, House mediation in July, and possibly Trump's signature during the week of August 3. This adjustment marks a significant reversal of Galaxy's previous stance; in April, Thorn estimated the probability of passage at 50/50 and warned that if the bill failed to pass before mid-May, the probability would drop significantly.

According to Binance News, the SlowMist security team revealed that the latest leaks from the Cybercrime Forum show that attackers allegedly used Anthropic's secure AI model "Mythos" to precisely tear open GitHub's internal defenses. Among the approximately 4,000 stolen internal GitHub codebases, there were codes for Copilot source code, CodeQL algorithms, Actions runtime, and billing systems. The SlowMist team warned that if hackers deeply analyze this code, it could have subsequent security impacts on the open-source community, as these systems carry a large number of core workflows for developers.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that last week, the CLARITY Act was officially approved by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. Earlier this week, Trump's digital asset advisor Patrick Witt said the U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve announcement is expected to be released in the coming weeks. In addition, the U.S. SEC may introduce an "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks, with Trump signing a crypto-friendly executive order today. Some believe that Trump's main motivation may stem from pressure from the U.S. midterm elections. Historically, presidential parties have often lost midterm elections, but current forecasts suggest Democrats may retake the House of Representatives, while Republicans will only retain the Senate. Trump needs to attract young, technological, and libertarian voters through relevant policies and tie them to the narrative of "American innovative leadership." The crypto lobbying group Fairshake has become Trump's major backer, and Trump also needs to fulfill his crypto-friendly promises made before taking office to secure more donations.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that South Korean President Lee Myung-bak stated that he does not understand the rationality of pre-tax profit sharing. Unions have the right to protect their own interests, but certain boundaries must not be crossed. Li Mingbo stated that while personal interests certainly deserve respect, collective responsibility and unity are equally crucial. Labor rights exist to protect workers' rights, not to pursue limited personal interests through collective strength.

According to ChainCatcher, according to threat intelligence released by SlowMist, several high-frequency npm packages—including AntV and Echarts-for-react, as well as the Python SDK durabletask—have recently been attacked by Mini Shai-Hulud (mini sandworms) in their supply chain attacks. The npm account Atool was compromised, with attackers automatically releasing 637 malicious versions within 22 minutes, involving 317 packages. Attackers uploaded DurableTask versions 1.4.1, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3 within 35 minutes, bypassing normal release controls and impersonating official Microsoft releases. The large-scale GitHub token breach and the ransomware attack on Grafana Labs are likely related to this supply chain attack. Affected components include high-frequency components from the npm ecosystem such as AntV and Echarts-for-react, as well as the Python package durabletask 1.4.1, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3. Attackers can steal cloud and local credentials, gain unauthorized access to internal warehouses and sensitive cloud infrastructure, move laterally to developer machines and CI/CD pipelines, sell and exploit leaked GitHub tokens, and carry out ransomware and data breach threats. SlowMist recommends immediately rotating all exposed credentials, replacing affected packages, isolating potentially infected systems, and implementing strict dependency review policies. Previous reports indicated that the "mini sandworm" worm recently caused a large-scale infection in the open-source codebase, so developers need to pay attention to the investigation.

According to Binance News, Wu Shuo learned that Ishmael Asad from Bitwise Crypto Research Institute posted that after the Rseth attack incident, funds are migrating from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. LayerZero's daily active addresses have dropped to their lowest point in nearly three years, and ZRO tokens have faced a sharp sell-off following security incidents. Meanwhile, Chainlink's CCIP daily active addresses hit a record high, reaching a record 80,428 CCIP daily active addresses last week, possibly due to capital migration.

According to ChainCatcher news, according to the latest 13F form, BlackRock and Vanguard Group disclosed a small number of Bonk treasury company BNKK stock holdings. Among them, BlackRock holds 33,188 shares valued at approximately $87,000, and Vanguard Group holds 188,580 shares valued at approximately $491,000. In October last year, Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot, Inc. announced its transformation into a BONK digital asset treasury company and officially changed its name to Bonk, Inc. It is important to point out that this small position usually comes from the regular allocation of passive index funds (automatically buying small-cap stocks or specific indices when they are included) and does not necessarily represent active "betting on meme coins".
