Meanwhile, perpetual contracts for other asset categories have gradually gained market attention, with the market share of stock perpetual contracts rising from 0.4% in August 2025 to 6.0% in March 2026; ETF perpetual contracts increased from 2.8% in October 2025 to 5.3% in March 2026, although most of this growth came from SPY trading volume. Additionally, the share of the HIP-3 product on the Hyperliquid platform in the monthly trading volume of RWA perpetual contracts rose from 2.8% at its launch in October 2025 to 28.6% in March 2026. Notably, the trading volume of HIP-3 surged from a total of $12.65 billion in Q4 2025 to $130.87 billion in Q1 2026.

On May 11, data from CoinGecko revealed that the total spot trading volume of tokenized gold in the first quarter of 2026 reached $90.7 billion, exceeding the entire year's total of $84.64 billion for 2025. This reflects a surge in market demand for tokenized gold, as cryptocurrency participants seek to invest in this high-performing asset class, and indicates an increasing accessibility of tokenized gold across various trading platforms. Notably, centralized exchanges (CEX) dominate the majority of spot trading for tokenized assets. Currently, the spot trading volume of tokenized gold has shown monthly fluctuations, indicating a high sensitivity to market conditions. For instance, in October 2025, as gold prices broke historical highs, the spot trading volume of tokenized gold surged to $21.38 billion, more than triple the $6.73 billion from the previous month, before dropping to $14.07 billion the following month. Similar to the situation with the market capitalization of tokenized commodities, PAXG and XAUT dominate the spot trading of tokenized gold. During this period, PAXG accounted for monthly trading volumes ranging from 34.2% to 82.5%, while XAUT comprised 14.8% to 64.6%. Over the past fifteen months, the average monthly spot trading volumes for PAXG and XAUT were $5.72 billion and $5.32 billion, respectively, with an overall average monthly trading total of $11.69 billion. Meanwhile, KAG had an average trading volume of $570 million, Tether's fully deployed product XAUT0 had $100 million, and XAUM only reached $7 million.

On May 11, Vitalik Buterin published a research paper on May 10, advocating that cryptocurrency payments should transition from pseudonymity to default privacy. He proposed replacing standard transfers with zero-knowledge (ZK) transactions, allowing users to prove the validity of payments without revealing their full balance or transaction history. Vitalik specifically pointed out that in the era of agents, autonomous AI agents need to pay service fees (such as LLM API fees) without leaving traceable footprints. By utilizing recursive SNARKs and ZK APIs, Ethereum Layer 2 can handle privacy payments at the same speed and cost as transparent transactions. The proposal also includes mechanisms for selective disclosure and proof of innocence, allowing users to provide specific proof to compliance agencies or tax authorities without disclosing data to the public, in order to meet anti-money laundering regulatory requirements. Vitalik believes that the public transparency of blockchain is the main obstacle preventing cryptocurrency payments from replacing traditional payments, and the ZK payment standard aims to make privacy a default feature.

According to Beating monitoring, Jensen Huang delivered a keynote speech at Carnegie Mellon University's 128th commencement ceremony, where he was also awarded an honorary Doctor of Science and Technology degree. He presented a core judgment to over 5,800 graduates: the computing paradigm that has lasted for 60 years has come to an end. From humans writing software to machine learning, and from CPU executing instructions to GPU running neural networks, a new industry focused on 'mass-producing intelligence' is emerging. Huang directly addressed the anxiety surrounding AI replacing humans. He stated that tasks like coding and analyzing imaging scans are indeed being automated, but the demand for software engineers and radiologists is actually increasing, as AI enhances human capabilities rather than replacing them. He made a sharper point: AI is unlikely to replace you, but those who can use AI better than you might. He also shared a rare story about NVIDIA's near failure in its early years. After signing a chip contract with Sega, NVIDIA discovered that its architecture could not deliver the product, and Huang had to approach Sega's CEO to admit the inability to fulfill the contract and request a termination, while awkwardly asking for continued payments. He described it as the most humiliating thing he had ever done, but the Sega CEO agreed, and this funding allowed NVIDIA to survive and led to the chip design methods still in use today. In his closing remarks, Huang urged the graduates, stating that building AI infrastructure will be the largest technological investment in human history and an opportunity for the re-industrialization of America. He quoted CMU's motto, 'My heart is in my work,' and told the class of 2026: run, don't walk.

According to CoinDesk, there are some concerns specific to the Ethereum blockchain following the recent transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, a process known as the Merge, JPMorgan (JPM) said in a research report Wednesday.
The change spurred a hard fork, splitting the blockchain in two and giving rise to an offshoot chain called Ethereum PoW. Some exchanges and platforms have shown support for the forked version, which still uses proof-of-work (PoW) verification, and at least 19 former ether mining pools are active on it, the report said. There is the possibility that the forked chain could divide the Ethereum community, it said.
A second concern is that the blockchain has become less decentralized, the bank said, “as [just a] few entities command the majority share of staked ETH.”
