On May 21, CNN reported that two sources familiar with US intelligence assessments stated that Iran has restarted some drone production during a six-week ceasefire that began in early April, indicating that Iran is quickly rebuilding certain military capabilities that were damaged due to US and Israeli strikes. Four sources indicated that US intelligence shows the pace of Iran's military rebuild is much faster than initially estimated. The rebuilding of Iran's military capabilities, including the replacement of missile sites, launch systems, and key weapon production capabilities destroyed in the conflict, means that if Trump were to resume bombing operations, Iran would still pose a significant threat to regional allies. This also raises questions about the long-term effectiveness of US and Israeli strikes in weakening Iran's military capabilities. A US official revealed that while the timelines for restarting production of different weapon components vary, some US intelligence estimates suggest that Iran could fully restore its drone attack capabilities within six months. 'The Iranians have surpassed all timelines set by the intelligence community for rebuilding,' said the US official.

On May 21, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that a new type has emerged in the crypto space: revenue chains. Hyperliquid and Solana are among the leaders in this area. While they share some similarities, they also have distinct differences. Both have outstanding communities, user bases, and use cases, among other attributes. I believe they will rise together, much like how iOS and Android benefited from the proliferation of mobile technology. In terms of revenue chains, they are riding the wave of capital markets going on-chain, and the timing is just right for them. The key to the success of Hyperliquid or Solana does not lie in their competition (though healthy competition is necessary), but rather in the rise of capital markets on-chain.

On May 21, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that a new category is emerging in the crypto industry—'revenue chains,' with Hyperliquid and Solana as the current leaders. He believes that while there is some overlap between the two, they each possess distinct characteristics and have strong communities, use cases, and user bases. He suggested that in the future, they might benefit from structural growth in the mobile internet, similar to iOS and Android. Horsley pointed out that 'revenue chains' are benefiting from the trend of capital markets going on-chain. Therefore, whether supporting HYPE, SOL, or both, the real importance lies not in competing with each other, but in the overall rise of on-chain capital markets. He stated, 'Support the on-chain capital market. It's great to see the crypto industry succeed.'

On May 21, Syndicate Labs announced that after five years of developing on-chain infrastructure for customizable Ethereum Rollups and sequencers, the company has decided to cease operations due to a decline in the Rollup market. The Ethereum scaling ecosystem is primarily dominated by three players: Arbitrum One, Base, and OP Mainnet, which together hold 75% of the market share. Smaller companies are being gradually pushed out as activity and funding concentrate towards these top three. Syndicate Labs had completed a $20 million Series A funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz in 2021. This decision caused the price of the SYND token to drop 21% in the past three hours, reaching a historic low of $0.012, down 99.5% from its peak of $2.61 on September 2, 2025. Additionally, Syndicate Labs stated that the Syndicate Network Collective operates independently of Syndicate Labs, so the governance of the SYND token will not be immediately affected, and the decision to close was not influenced by a previous hacking incident involving bridged assets.

On May 21, Benoit Anne, Managing Director and Head of Market Insights at MFS Investment Management, stated that the trade-off between inflation and growth is a common concern for major central banks, with financial stability being a worry in more extreme cases. Sometimes, this involves certain policy trade-offs, especially when the risk of stagflation rises. 'Among the current major central banks, the Fed's position may be the most comfortable,' he said, adding that the macroeconomic environment facing the Fed is characterized by rising inflation risks but resilient economic growth. 'This should imply a cautious policy stance moving forward, although there is some uncertainty regarding the direction the Fed will take under the new chair.' (Jinshi)
