Bitget Wallet has completed an upgrade to its DEX Aggregator API, becoming the first in the industry to offer an aggregated interface supporting market price trading for tokenized stocks and RWAs. Institutional clients or developers can use their existing API to directly swap any token for RWA assets such as tokenized stocks.Additionally, the Bitget Wallet API has launched a fee collection service, providing clients with a one-stop profit-sharing solution. Institutional users and developers can use the Bitget Wallet billing system for real-time or periodic settlement of transaction fees. By simply configuring the fee rate and split rules, they can quickly commercialize their business without needing to build their own collection, reconciliation, and settlement systems.Currently, the Bitget Wallet API supports trading tokenized RWA assets on Ondo Global Markets, covering US stocks, ADRs, and various ETFs, including broad-based indices, sector themes, fixed income, commodities, and regional markets. The daily trading volume from partners such as 0x, LI.FI, CoW Swap, deBridge, and XOSwap has already exceeded $20 million.
Odaily News OpenAI is considering significantly reducing product prices to navigate potentially escalating fierce competition with Anthropic.The report states that OpenAI expects competition in the AI services market to further intensify, potentially evolving into a price war. Meanwhile, some enterprise clients have begun showing higher sensitivity to current AI product pricing levels.Insiders indicate that against the backdrop of enterprise users consistently monitoring AI usage costs, the industry's pricing system may face a reshaping, potentially forcing competitors to adjust their pricing strategies. Analysis suggests that as the generative AI industry enters a new phase of commercial competition, price and inference cost control are becoming critical factors for major players vying for market share.

Delphi Digital has released its "Token Market Status Report," indicating that the token market in this cycle has been suppressed by multiple structural issues, including token unlocks occurring on a fixed schedule regardless of project performance, protocol revenues failing to effectively flow back to token holders, and airdrops gradually evolving into sources of exit liquidity.The report shows that since January 2025, among all newly listed tokens on major centralized exchanges (CEX), if purchased on the listing day and held to the present, an average investment of $1,000 would have dwindled to approximately $500. The median decline is 82%, with only about 12% of tokens still trading above their issuance price, reflecting a market structure that prioritizes "listing quantity over quality."Regarding tokenomic design, the research points out that across more than 400 unlock events, within a sample of 33, 28 tokens significantly underperformed relative to Bitcoin in the three weeks before and after the unlock, resulting in an average excess loss of approximately 7%. Moreover, most unlocks occur within 30 days, making it difficult for the market to effectively absorb the supply shock.The report also notes that the long-standing industry issue of "missing value accrual" is beginning to change. An increasing number of protocols are starting to use "Fee Switch" mechanisms to return revenue to token holders. For example, Hyperliquid allocates nearly all its fees to buybacks, Uniswap is burning 100 million UNI tokens, Jupiter uses 50% of its fees for buybacks locked for three years, and Aave has passed a DAO-approved weekly buyback plan of $1 million.However, the report emphasizes that fee-based buybacks alone are insufficient to resolve supply pressure. For instance, the scale of buybacks for some projects still cannot offset the selling pressure from token unlocks, leading to a situation where "buybacks only offset inflation but fail to generate net buying pressure."Simultaneously, the structure of institutional capital is shifting. Institutional holdings of Bitcoin-related ETFs like IBIT have grown 62% year-over-year, with advisory channels increasing by 204% and sovereign wealth funds and endowments rising by 228%, while arbitrage-focused hedge funds continue to exit. Long-term capital, including BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Mubadala Investment Company, is increasing its allocation.The report concludes that in the next phase, more attractive token assets will simultaneously feature "revenue accrual mechanisms" and "supply release structures linked to protocol performance." However, the current market remains in the early stages of structural repair.
Odaily, Cypherpunk, the company managing the ZEC treasury, stated that all software has vulnerabilities. Historically, Bitcoin once "over-minted" 184 billion BTC due to a bug. However, this does not mean abandoning blockchain technology; rather, security should be enhanced through formal verification and provable correctness.Cypherpunk emphasized that with the development of AI technology, vulnerability detection will become faster and broader, but the key lies in who can discover issues before malicious actors. Zcash will demonstrate this capability through an upcoming update.

According to chart analysis released by independent analyst Markus Thielen on May 18, the 30-day moving average of daily net inflows into ETH ETFs over the past year has been highly synchronized with Ethereum’s price movement, making institutional fund flows a core driver of ETH’s price. However, as U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rise above 4.6% and inflation accelerates again, Ethereum’s ~2.5% net staking yield is losing appeal relative to risk-free assets. Since May, ETH ETFs have seen renewed net outflows; if this trend persists, Ethereum’s price is highly likely to remain in a range-bound consolidation pattern.
the escalating situation in Iran is becoming a real-world stress test for the financial market's ability to trade around the clock. Market analyst Huang pointed out that amid the latest geopolitical conflict, traders did not wait for traditional financial markets to open. Instead, they conducted transactions directly through blockchain infrastructure, engaging in round-the-clock price discovery and risk hedging for assets like crude oil and gold on on-chain platforms such as Hyperliquid.The analysis suggests that the current speed of information dissemination has far exceeded the response mechanisms of traditional markets. News spreads instantly across time zones, yet traditional trading systems remain constrained by market opening hours and weekend closures. This prevents prices from reflecting the latest information in real-time, often leading to concentrated volatility and liquidity shocks when markets reopen.In contrast, blockchain networks offer 24/7 operation and real-time settlement capabilities, allowing traders to continuously adjust their positions during non-trading hours. This is viewed as a complement, or even an alternative, to traditional market structures. During this Iran conflict, the value of this "never-closed market" model has been further highlighted.Analysts point out that the core contradiction lies in the structural mismatch between market infrastructure and the information environment. Although the traditional financial system still holds advantages in liquidity and scale, time boundaries are increasingly becoming a source of inefficiency, especially in a macro environment characterized by high volatility and frequent unexpected events.Meanwhile, on-chain derivatives platforms represented by Hyperliquid are validating the feasibility of 24/7 markets, gradually taking on part of the risk pricing function during weekends and non-trading hours. However, the industry generally acknowledges that current on-chain systems still face constraints in terms of liquidity depth, performance, and institutional-grade risk control, making it difficult to fully replace traditional exchanges in the short term.Overall, the market is shifting from being "trading session-driven" to "information-driven perpetual trading," and competition at the infrastructure level is accelerating.

despite Coinbase's weak first-quarter performance, Benchmark has maintained its 'Buy' rating on the stock and raised its price target from $260 to $270.Coinbase reported a net loss of $394 million in the first quarter, with revenue of $755.8 million falling short of market expectations; Adjusted EBITDA was $303.3 million, a significant decline from $929.9 million in the same period last year. Following the earnings release, its share price briefly fell by about 6%.Benchmark believes Coinbase is transitioning from a crypto exchange reliant on market cycles into a core infrastructure platform for the 'on-chain economy.' Its business layout now spans multiple areas, including stablecoins, crypto derivatives, tokenization, DeFi, payments, prediction markets, and AI-native commerce.Previously, Rosenblatt Securities and Bernstein also maintained positive ratings on Coinbase, indicating that some institutions remain optimistic about its long-term platform transformation.
Odaily Investment bank TD Cowen reiterated its "Buy" rating on Sharplink following its Q1 earnings report, maintaining a $16 price target, implying approximately 106% upside from the current share price of $7.76.Sharplink's Q1 revenue exceeded $12 million. The company also announced the establishment of an approximately $125 million income fund in partnership with Galaxy Digital, with Sharplink contributing roughly $100 million. The fund will focus on DeFi and liquidity yield opportunities, targeting returns higher than base staking yields.The analyst team believes the current share price is in a "favorable entry window," driven primarily by a persistent NAV discount and expanding Ethereum demand. Sharplink currently holds approximately 873,000 ETH (about $2 billion), translating to a net asset value (NAV) of roughly $9.68 per share, while the stock still trades at about a 20% discount to NAV. TD Cowen noted that the Galaxy partnership strengthens Sharplink's yield strategy, allowing it to maintain ETH exposure while improving capital efficiency through institutional-grade DeFi opportunities.
