On May 14, Bank of England Executive Director Sasha Mills stated that the Bank of England considers stablecoins to be 'a new form of currency' and will not 'pick winners' between tokenized deposits and stablecoins. Mills mentioned that the Bank will open applications for 'systemic stablecoins' by the end of the year, which are widely used for payments and may pose risks to financial stability, and will be regulated by the central bank. Matthew Long, Director of Payments and Digital Assets at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), indicated that other stablecoins are regulated by the FCA, and there is still room for pound-denominated stablecoins to play a role. Mills also pointed out that 99% of stablecoins globally are denominated in US dollars and do not comply with the US GENIUS Act, and that the UK is aligned with the US on the timeline.

On May 14, according to Fast Technology, amidst the explosive demand for AI, GPUs have become one of the most scarce computing resources, with even old chips from five years ago continuing to rise in price. Recently, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang referred to this phenomenon as the 'Fine Wine Effect.' The term 'Fine Wine' was originally used during the AMD Vega era to describe how GPUs could enhance performance through driver optimizations, but its meaning has since evolved to describe the rising prices of GPUs over time. NVIDIA stated that the demand for AI is driving the GPU market into a phase of explosive growth, with nearly all data centers running AI operations relying on GPUs. Although CPU demand is also increasing, GPUs remain the core source of computing power. Currently, global semiconductor manufacturers are facing tight production capacities, which further drives up the prices of various hardware, including GPUs, and older generation GPUs are similarly affected. Even products from 4-5 years ago are still appreciating in value. Huang pointed out that the price increase of old GPUs is even surpassing the aging process of fine wine, indicating a strong demand in the market.

On May 14, the TAC team, an L1 blockchain, announced that it has confirmed a previous cross-chain security incident that resulted in the transfer of approximately $2.8 million in assets, including USDT, BLUM, and tsTON. TAC stated that if the attacker returns the relevant funds to a designated multi-signature address, the team will consider the incident a 'white hat rescue' and will not take legal action against the operators involved with ETH/BSC, ZEC, and TON addresses. As a reward, the attacker could receive about 10% of the bounty, equivalent to approximately 13 ETH and 300 ZEC.

On May 14, AI chip manufacturer Cerebras Systems completed its initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, raising $5.55 billion and capitalizing on the surge in global semiconductor demand. The company set its offering price at $185 per share, higher than the previously suggested pricing range. On Monday, Cerebras raised both the offering range and the number of shares to be issued; the IPO was originally planned to issue 30 million shares with a pricing range of $150 to $160 per share. Based on the number of shares issued and the circulating capital calculated in the filing documents, this pricing gives Cerebras a market value of approximately $40 billion. Estimates indicate that, including restricted stock units, employee options, and warrants, the company's fully diluted valuation reaches about $49 billion. Data shows that this IPO is the largest so far this year. If Elon Musk's SpaceX raises its target of $75 billion and goes public this summer, it is expected to set the record for the largest IPO in history, while Cerebras's new share issuance has already been successfully executed.

On May 14, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich announced on social media that the company plans to list a preferred stock in Japan. If successful, this product will become the seventh listed preferred stock in the Japanese market and the first perpetual preferred stock. Historically, Japanese listed companies pay dividends once or twice a year, while Metaplanet's designed structure considers more frequent distributions, including monthly dividends. This requires meticulous work in areas such as record date procedures, shareholder identification, dividend calculations, and regular shareholder notifications. The company is closely collaborating with partners to build and modernize this infrastructure in a manner compliant with Japanese regulations and market practices. This process has taken longer than initially expected, and the company understands the uncertainties caused by this delay.

On May 14, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich announced that the company has postponed its plans to list Mars and Mercury preferred stocks due to the underdeveloped nature of the Japanese preferred stock market and restrictions imposed by exchange rules. He stated that Japanese exchanges require preferred stock dividends to be supported by sustainable and recurring cash flows, while Metaplanet still needs to demonstrate that its Bitcoin revenue business can generate stable returns under different market conditions. Additionally, the company plans to pay dividends monthly, but the Japanese market typically operates on an annual or semi-annual dividend schedule, and the necessary infrastructure is still being developed. Metaplanet currently holds 40,177 BTC, and its stock price has dropped 25% year-to-date.
