2. Industry trends

Consensys delays IPO plan until autumn 2026 at the earliest

According to Odaily Planet Daily, MetaMask developer Consensys has postponed its US IPO plan due to market decline, macro uncertainty, and outflow of Bitcoin ETF funds. Previously, its valuation reached $7 billion in 2022. Recently, BitGo's stock price fell after its listing, reflecting the cautious attitude of the open market towards crypto infrastructure companies and the current pressure on the valuation of the primary market in the crypto industry. This provides a market reference for similar crypto companies' listing plans.

ZachXBT: LAB insiders control over 95% of token supply, posing manipulation risks

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the founder of the LAB project pushed the token valuation to $6 billion through shell companies, over the counter, and KOL discount operations. Recently, about 100 million LABs have been transferred from the exchange to specific addresses. The investigation shows that its model is similar to projects such as RIVER, with high control and price manipulation risks. Short selling may face further risks, which can effectively remind users to be vigilant about the liquidity and price risks of the token and avoid secondary market investment traps.

Kraken will replace LayerZero with Chainlink CCIP as cross-chain infrastructure

According to the Odaily Planet Daily, after the 292 million dollar cross-chain bridge vulnerability incident in Kelp, Kraken decided to abandon LayerZero and use Chainlink CCIP as the only cross-chain solution for kBTC and future packaging assets.At present, more than 3 billion dollars of lock value has been migrated from LayerZero, and Chainlink CCIP will be responsible for cross-chain asset transfer, which greatly enhances the security of cross-chain assets and reflects the industry's emphasis on cross-chain bridge security.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, SATA will distribute cash dividends every trading day starting from June 16th, increasing the annual dividend yield from 13% to 13.88% through daily compound interest. The company has paid off all debts and holds 15,009 bitcoins, ranking ninth among the world's largest BTC holders of listed companies. This product provides stable cash flow tools for Bitcoin assets, expands the financial application scenarios of Bitcoin assets, and provides institutional investors with new options for encrypted asset allocation.

According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET news, the world's third largest pension fund, the National Pension Fund of South Korea, increased its holdings of Strategy stocks, with a total value of $147.50 million. As a typical case of traditional institutional funds entering Bitcoin-related assets, this behavior reflects institutions' recognition of Bitcoin as an anti-inflation asset, and also provides a reference signal for other large institutions to allocate encrypted assets, accelerating the entry of mainstream traditional funds into the encrypted track.

Onramp completes $12.50 million Series A financing, focusing on Bitcoin multi-signature custody

The platform provides financial institutions with a Modularization technology stack, which can quickly launch financial products, reduce the threshold for traditional financial institutions to access digital assets, and promote the deep integration of Web2 and Web3 finance.

SK Hynix moves towards the trillion-dollar market value threshold

According to Jinshi News, benefiting from strong demand in the field of artificial intelligence, SK Hynix's stock price has risen sharply and is expected to enter the trillion-dollar market value club. The continuous outbreak of AI computing power demand has driven the high prosperity of the storage chip industry.

5. Today's guide to avoiding pitfalls

Recently, there has been a high incidence of on-chain phishing scams. Many users have had their wallets maliciously authorized and their assets stolen by clicking on unfamiliar links such as "AI concept airdrop" and "official subsidy collection". Some fraudulent pages highly imitate the official websites of exchanges and popular projects, with strong concealment. It is recommended that users only participate in activities through official channels, carefully sign and authorize their wallets, and do not trust unfamiliar airdrops and high-yield promotional links.
