On May 30, the Huobi HTX VIP private class 'AI + Trading from Theory to Practice' was held in Shanghai. Tian Jia, an early Bitcoin miner and CTO of pyra.io, shared insights on the development of quantum computing and the impact of AI on trading. He believes that in the AI era, investors have a more equitable access to 'knowledge,' such as establishing institutional-level trading frameworks. However, in terms of 'trading competition,' it becomes more unfair, particularly with the training of institutional-level trading models. The true enhancement of fairness comes from AI lowering cognitive barriers, while the real expansion of unfairness arises from the concentration of data, speed, capital, and platform manipulation capabilities.

On May 30, according to CCTV Finance, during a conference hosted by investment firm Bernstein, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth stated that due to the situation in Iran, global crude oil inventories are continuously declining, and oil prices are likely to rise in the next two months. The Financial Times reported that Wirth's remarks reflect widespread concerns: even if the conflicting parties reach a ceasefire agreement, the negative impact of the conflict on energy prices will persist for months. Additionally, CNN reported on the 28th that due to the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is declining at a rare pace not seen in recent years, and commercial crude oil inventories are also at low levels.

On May 30, xAI has been continuously updating its AI programming tool Grok Build with high frequency. As of version v0.2.11, multiple new features and performance optimizations have been launched, rapidly evolving the product from an early CLI tool to a complete Agentic Coding environment. Functionally, Grok Build has integrated X platform search and faster web search capabilities, and introduced commands such as /export, /login, /usage, and /config-agents, while supporting an interactive file reader and PowerPoint text extraction. Additionally, the platform has launched an Always-approve mode to simplify the permission authorization process. In terms of compatibility, Grok Build has added support for Windows ARM64 and macOS x86_64, and optimized the development experience across various environments including Warp, JetBrains, and traditional Windows terminals, while fixing copy-paste issues on Linux Wayland, WSL, and Windows platforms. Regarding agent capability upgrades, subagents can now share terminal backends, task schedulers, and monitoring systems across sessions, and new proactive reminder mechanisms and 'lazy detectors' have been added to improve model task execution efficiency. Furthermore, the system has optimized context compression and chat history memory management, and supports automatic background execution of long-running Bash commands. In terms of user experience, the new version has increased terminal video playback frame rate to 30FPS, added multi-image paste, drag-and-drop upload, and macOS temporary screenshot features, while optimizing model switching loading prompts, Markdown link rendering, and editor line number display details. For stability, xAI has increased the default retry budget to approximately 5 minutes, enhanced Unix system resource limits (ulimit), and improved the background tool's handling of timeouts and abnormal terminations, while also fixing multiple compatibility issues related to UTF-8 output, large displays, and Windows high contrast mode.

On May 30, Bloomberg reported, citing informed sources, that an Iranian ballistic missile struck a US military base in Kuwait, resulting in injuries to several American personnel and causing significant damage to two MQ-9 Reaper drones. Although the missile was intercepted by Kuwait's air defense system, falling debris still hit Ali Al-Salem Air Base.

On May 30, Andrew Gault, founding partner of the investment firm 7percent Ventures and CEO of the networking company ZeroTier, stated that the market is overly focused on the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin wallet private keys, while neglecting a more urgent risk: the encrypted communication data that is currently being transmitted and continuously collected among financial institutions. Gault pointed out that attackers are employing a 'collect first, decrypt later' strategy, storing large amounts of encrypted data such as interbank communications, payment authentication records, and digital signatures, waiting for sufficiently powerful quantum computers to emerge in the future to crack them. He believes that the real danger lies not in statically stored data, but in the authentication and signature information that flows daily between exchanges, custodians, cross-chain bridges, and financial institutions. In March of this year, Google's Quantum AI team released a study stating that sufficiently powerful quantum computers could derive Bitcoin private keys from public keys in about 9 minutes, raising concerns about the security of approximately 6.9 million exposed public key BTC. However, Gault argues that the more pressing issue is the network communication data that has already been collected. Google's security team has shifted its focus to digital signatures and identity authentication systems, planning to complete the transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2029. Google stated that 'collect first, decrypt later' attacks have become a real threat. Additionally, a study by Citigroup in February estimated that if quantum computing were to break the encryption mechanisms of large U.S. banks accessing the Fedwire payment system, it could trigger an economic impact of $2 trillion to $3.3 trillion, equivalent to a 10% to 17% decline in U.S. real GDP. The report noted that while Ethereum has initiated a coordinated post-quantum migration plan, the Bitcoin network and major cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians have yet to publicly commit to similar upgrades for their signature infrastructure. Analysts believe that as quantum computing technology continues to advance, the cryptocurrency industry may face increasing pressure for a post-quantum security transformation in the future.

On May 30, ZDNet Korea reported that the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of South Korea has tentatively decided not to proceed with the provision in the amendment to the Specific Financial Information Act that requires suspicious transaction reports (STR) for transfers of virtual assets exceeding 10 million won (approximately 7,300 USD) to overseas or personal wallets. Previously, the Korea Digital Asset Exchange Association (DAXA) had indicated that this mandatory requirement could lead to excessive compliance burdens and delays in transactions. However, the FIU will still expand the applicability of the Travel Rule as planned, extending the existing threshold for transactions from over 1 million won to those below 1 million won (approximately 730 USD).

A tweet retweeted by Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Bitfinex and Tether, said that Fitch released proof of reserve portfolios for five of the top eight stablecoins for Q4 2021. The amount and type of reserves are disclosed, most of which are U.S. Treasuries or cash. Tether, which provides the most detailed reports, has higher credit risk exposure to its reserve portfolio than its peers. However, flexibility in the reserve mix has increased. Treasury bills rose to 44% of total reserves by the end of 2021, up from 28% at the end of September 2021.
