On May 30, Zama officially responded to the incident of Circle freezing the cUSDC contract. Circle's compliance system flagged a wallet belonging to an external depositor, which held funds in the cUSDC contract, resulting in the entire contract being automatically swept into a standard holding freeze. This is merely incidental damage and not a sanction against the Zama Protocol. Zama's legal team has intervened and is isolating the flagged address, aiming to restore access for all unaffected participants as soon as possible.

On May 30, KobeissiLetter published a market opinion stating that AI is set to reshape the global labor market. It is estimated that approximately 24% of jobs worldwide (about 838 million) will be impacted by generative AI, with high-income countries facing the highest proportion of affected employment at around 33%. Approximately 6% of jobs may face the highest level of risk from AI replacement, typically involving repetitive and predictable tasks. Regionally, Europe and Central Asia are the most affected (about 32%), followed by the Americas (about 30%), while Africa is the least affected (about 13%). The overall exposure level in low-income countries is only one-third that of high-income countries. The largest labor transformation in modern history has already begun.

On May 30, the European Commission projected that a potential new unified tax on crypto companies could bring approximately €20 billion in new revenue to the EU during the next seven-year budget cycle from 2028 to 2034. The Commission also evaluated specific types of taxes: a 0.1% tax on the value of crypto transactions could generate around €3-4 billion annually, while a capital gains tax on crypto could yield €1-2.4 billion each year. These proposed crypto-related taxes aim to help address the funding sources for the EU's common budget and are currently in the negotiation phase among member states.

On May 30, on-chain detective ZachXBT further revealed that Circle's decision to blacklist the Zama cUSDC contract address, resulting in approximately $12.6 million in frozen funds, is related to a civil lawsuit in the United States. Circle is believed to have received an enforcement notice from a U.S. court. Additionally, it appears that the Zama team did not receive prior notification from Circle regarding the freeze, and the plaintiff may have misrepresented the connection between the frozen address and the Zama contract to the court. The civil lawsuit was filed against Overnight Finance, with one of the plaintiffs being Patagon Management, an entity known for malicious DAO takeovers and RFV (Risk-Free Value) plundering strategies. Zama users will be indirectly affected by this legal dispute. Note: Patagon Management is a U.S.-based cryptocurrency-focused investment and trading firm founded by Diogenes Casares, primarily focusing on 'special situation investments,' particularly aggressive investments in the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) space. The entity is known for engaging in malicious DAO takeovers and RFV plundering strategies, encouraging the dissolution or liquidation of DAOs by acquiring large amounts of governance tokens and pushing proposals, thereby returning value to token holders (or itself). It has been deeply involved in litigation and governance actions related to projects such as SpartacusDAO, Aragon DAO, and Rook DAO, often viewed by project teams as risk-free value plunderers or 'vulture investors.'

On May 30, the Huobi HTX VIP private class "AI + Trading from Theory to Practice" was held in Shanghai. Early Bitcoin miner and CTO of pyra.io, Tian Jia, shared insights on the development of quantum computing and its impact on trading. He believes that if quantum computing poses a threat to 'Bitcoin addresses with exposed public keys,' it would be on average in 7 to 8 years, with a range of 5 to 15 years. The required number of logical qubits is between 1200 and 2400, while the physical qubit count is less than 500,000. Additionally, Bitcoin has defensive measures; it can transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), although there are significant challenges, such as the locking issue with Satoshi's coin.

Kyle Samani, co-founder of Multicoin Capital, analyzed the development of Kalshi and the U.S. crypto perpetual contract market on the X platform, suggesting three potential scenarios: 1. Kalshi's previous efforts may be irrelevant, as the U.S. market already offers non-regulated perpetual contracts. 2. The protocol must meet the eight decentralized tests of the CLARITY Act: If the CLARITY Act is successfully passed, the protocol could offer perpetual contracts in the U.S. without registering as a DCO (Designated Contract Organizer) and DCM (Designated Contract Market). 3. The product may still attract users but could be unable to legally enter the U.S. financial system: Even if users accept it, the protocol may still struggle to distribute within a compliant framework. The analysis highlights the complex relationship between current U.S. derivatives regulation and decentralized protocols, as well as the uncertainty surrounding the launch of innovative financial products within legal compliance.

According to FT, Singapore’s biggest bank DBS plans to grow its cryptocurrency and digital assets business despite the crypto bear market, saying it wants to expand its digital exchange and offer services to more of its 300,000 wealthy clients in Asia. Piyush Gupta, chief executive of DBS since 2009, said the crypto market downturn proved that established and regulated financial institutions, rather than just start-ups, should be offering products such as digital asset trading for retail investors. Piyush Gupta said DBS had to support Singapore’s push into cutting-edge financial technology.
