On May 13, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that privacy is becoming a core infrastructure direction for the next phase of the cryptocurrency industry. Recently, three institutional-grade blockchains focused on stablecoins and asset tokenization—Arc, Canton, and Tempo—have collectively raised over $1 billion, indicating a rapid increase in institutional demand for a 'privacy-friendly on-chain financial system.' Among them, stablecoin issuer Circle has raised $222 million for Arc, corresponding to a valuation of approximately $3 billion; Digital Asset's Canton blockchain is reportedly seeking $300 million at a $2 billion valuation; while Tempo, supported by Stripe and Paradigm, has previously completed $500 million in funding, reaching a valuation of $5 billion. Hougan pointed out that this wave of financing reflects three major trends: the gradual clarification of the U.S. regulatory framework, an increased institutional demand for on-chain privacy, and intensified competition among new blockchain networks supported by large enterprises. Current public chains still face structural trade-offs between speed, cost, security, and privacy, while the scenarios of stablecoins and RWA tokenization require systems to possess high performance, compliance, and privacy capabilities simultaneously, making 'verifiable privacy' an important prerequisite for institutional adoption of on-chain finance.

On May 12, according to The Wall Street Journal, as OpenAI prepares to launch its initial public offering (IPO), CEO Sam Altman's personal investment activities are under increasing scrutiny from U.S. Republicans. The House Oversight Committee has initiated an investigation into potential conflicts of interest, with several Republican state attorneys general also calling for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to review the matter. This series of actions stems from an April report that claimed Altman had pushed OpenAI to support companies in which he had personal investments. Simultaneously, this aligns with a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk, who accused Altman and OpenAI of inducing him to invest tens of millions of dollars to co-found a nonprofit organization, only for that AI lab to later transform into a for-profit entity. According to documents released by the House Oversight Committee on its official website, the committee sent a letter to Altman last Friday, requesting that OpenAI's leadership provide an explanation regarding potential conflicts of interest and submit relevant documents on corporate governance practices.
