Charity in Name, Family Gain in Reality: How the Trump Family Turns Philanthropy into Profit?

Summary: The article examines how the Trump family, particularly Eric Trump, has allegedly leveraged charitable and business ventures for financial gain. It details the operations of Eric's children's cancer charity (now Curetivity), which, despite donating over $25 million to St. Jude, reportedly funneled at least $500,000 back to Trump-owned properties for event costs between 2011-2016. These transactions, often undisclosed, involved clear conflicts of interest with Trump Organization employees on the board. Following media scrutiny and a state investigation, the charity reformed but continued holding costly fundraisers at Trump venues. The piece draws parallels to Eric's role at cryptocurrency company American Bitcoin (ABTC), where he promoted unrealistic mining cost savings. Investigative reporting revealed most Bitcoin was acquired through share dilution, with actual costs far higher than claimed, contributing to a ~90% stock price drop and significant investor losses, while insiders like Eric retained substantial wealth. The pattern identified involves using misleading rhetoric, opaque accounting, and legal strategies to navigate controversies, often deflecting criticism as political attacks before resuming operations with minimal substantive change.

DAT Failure? Listed Companies Betting on HYPE Floating Profit of $12.5 Billion

Several public companies that adopted a "HYPE Treasury" strategy—holding significant reserves of the HYPE token from the Hyperliquid ecosystem—have achieved substantial paper gains, collectively exceeding $1.25 billion. This contrasts with the reported struggles of MicroStrategy's flagship BTC treasury strategy. The article profiles three such HYPE-focused treasury companies: 1. **Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. (PURR):** The largest holder, with approximately 22.3 million HYPE tokens valued at ~$1.636 billion, resulting in an unrealized gain of ~$1.22 billion. It has fully transitioned from a biotech firm to a dedicated crypto treasury, adding staking and validator operations to enhance returns. 2. **Hyperion DeFi (HYPD):** Holds around 2 million HYPE tokens (~$147 million value) with a gain of ~$49.4 million. It is deeply integrated into the Hyperliquid ecosystem, running a major validator node and building DeFi products for additional yield. 3. **Lion Group Holding (LGHL):** A smaller holder with ~194,000 HYPE tokens (~$14.14 million value), maintaining a long-term commitment to the token. The success of these HYPE treasuries is attributed not only to the token's significant price appreciation but also to active on-chain participation through staking, validation, and ecosystem integrations, creating a compounding "flywheel" effect. The article posits that while MicroStrategy's BTC strategy faces challenges, HYPE treasuries may offer a more sustainable model through deeper protocol engagement, with potential for further growth if HYPE's price rises as predicted by some analysts.

Trillion-Dollar Euphoria for Memory Sellers, Halved Profits for Memory Buyers

Title: The Trillion-Dollar Memory Seller's Carnival vs. The Buyer's Halved Profits On May 26, a stark contrast unfolded. While memory chipmaker Micron's market cap surged past $1 trillion, smartphone maker Xiaomi reported plummeting profits. Xiaomi's Q1 2026 profits fell 43% year-on-year. Executive Lu Weibing cited memory prices quadrupling from last year, adding roughly $210 to a phone's cost. To survive, Xiaomi is cutting entry-level models, sacrificing volume. Micron's stock, however, skyrocketed over 19% in a day, capping an 8x gain in a year. Major banks like UBS and JPMorgan issued bullish reports, raising price targets drastically. Their core thesis: Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) with AI cloud giants (Microsoft, Google, etc.) are eliminating the memory industry's notorious boom-bust cycle. By locking in fixed-price, multi-year contracts for AI-grade memory (HBM, server DDR5), these deals promise stable, utility-like earnings, justifying a higher valuation (20-30x P/E vs. the historical 8-15x). The article reveals a three-tiered memory market in 2026: 1) **AI Storage (HBM/DDR5/Enterprise SSD)**: Extreme shortage, soaring prices, LTAs. This is Micron's story. 2) **Mobile/Embedded Memory**: Also facing sharp price hikes as AI production crowds out capacity, severely pressuring phone makers like Xiaomi. 3) **PC Retail**: Some spot prices are falling due to channel inventory liquidation, creating a divergence from contract markets. The author questions if LTAs truly end the cycle. It hinges on sustained, hyper-growth AI demand. Micron's current profits are at a cycle peak, driven mostly by price hikes, not volume. If AI capital expenditure growth slows, the massive industry capacity expansion (e.g., Micron's $250B+ CapEx plan) could lead to a glut. Historically, using peak-cycle earnings for valuation is a classic trap. While the AI-driven structural shift might be real, the unanimous Wall Street euphoria warrants caution, echoing past bubbles like Cisco's in 2000. The memory seller's trillion-dollar狂欢 (carnival) continues, but the cycle's shadow remains.

Ethereum OG Sitting On 630,000% Gain Wakes Up After 10 Years

On-chain data reveals a long-dormant Ethereum wallet from 2015, containing 2,000 ETH, has been reactivated after 10.8 years. Classified as a "pre-mine address," it belonged to an early participant from Ethereum's 2014 presale. The wallet's initial $620 investment, untouched for over a decade, is now worth over $4.2 million—a gain of nearly 630,000%. The activity began with a small test transfer of 1 ETH, followed by a near-complete movement of the remaining 1,997.9 ETH. While the funds have not been sent to a centralized exchange, the sudden activity suggests the owner may have recently regained access to lost or forgotten keys.

Bitcoin’s Current Volatility Pushes Supply Held In Profit Below Historic Bull Thresholds

Bitcoin's current price decline below $77,000 has pushed the percentage of BTC supply held in profit down to approximately 61%. This level is notably below the typical 75%+ seen during historic bull markets, signaling a shift in market dynamics and weakening investor confidence. Analyst Darkfost notes that while this is not the extreme loss dominance of a bear market, the reduction in profitable supply creates a negative environment and reflects ongoing volatility. The key resistance level remains at $80,000, which aligns with the Short-Term Holders' Cost Basis and has consistently rejected price advances since late last year, increasing pressure on short-term investors and the potential for selling activity.

Jane Street Sued: Suspected of Using Telegram Insider Information to Exit and Short Before Terra Collapse, Profiting $134 Million

Wall Street trading giant Jane Street Group is facing a lawsuit alleging it used insider information from a private Telegram channel with a former Terraform Labs intern to avoid losses and profit from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022. According to newly unsealed court documents, Jane Street allegedly sold nearly $192 million worth of the UST stable币 before its depeg, and then established short positions, netting approximately $134 million in profits. The suit, filed by Terraform's bankruptcy estate, claims the firm gained a critical "information advantage" through these private communications, allowing it to execute large sales, including an $85 million UST transaction on Curve Finance minutes after Terraform quietly withdrew liquidity. Jane Street has denied the allegations as "baseless" and moved to dismiss the case. A 2023 court ruling that classified UST and Luna as securities bolsters the legal basis of this suit.

From 'Cash Incinerator' to 'Money Printing Machine': ChangXin Technology's Remarkable Turnaround, Raking in 50 Billion in Half a Year

Changxin Technology: From "Money Incinerator" to "Money Printer" in Six Months Changxin Technology, a Chinese DRAM chipmaker once dubbed a "money incinerator" for years of massive losses, has staged a staggering financial turnaround. Its updated IPO prospectus reveals explosive 2026 first-half results: revenue forecast of 110-120 billion yuan (up 613-677% year-on-year) and net profit of 50-57 billion yuan (up 2244-2544% year-on-year). This half-year profit rivals that of major state-owned energy giants. The reversal stems from a historic memory chip super-cycle fueled by AI. Massive demand from AI servers, consuming 8-10x more DRAM than traditional servers, coupled with a supply crunch as major players shift capacity to premium HBM, has driven DRAM prices to multi-year highs. As China's only large-scale DRAM IDM (integrated design and manufacturing) firm, Changxin was positioned to capitalize. With upgraded product lines (DDR5/LPDDR5) and high capacity utilization, it achieved both volume and price increases, doubling its global market share to 7.67% in just half a year. This follows a decade of heavy investment and losses totaling 36.65 billion yuan, a gamble led by Chairman Zhu Yiming, who famously vowed to take no salary until the company was profitable. The IPO aims to raise 29.5 billion yuan, implying a valuation that some analysts project could reach 1-2 trillion yuan long-term. Debate persists over the sustainability of profits given DRAM's cyclicality, but supporters point to structurally sustained AI demand and Changxin's strategic national importance. The story is a textbook financial comeback, rewarding persistent investment in a critical industry.

Bitcoin Price Could Resume Its Downward Trend As Realized Profit Climbs To 2022 Level

Bitcoin's price may be poised for a downturn, according to on-chain analysis. Despite recent signs of recovery, a key metric—the Realized Profit/Loss Margin—has reached 17%. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlights that this level, last seen in March 2022, previously signaled a local market top before a downtrend resumed. The indicator suggests average Bitcoin investors are sitting on significant profits and may start selling to lock in gains. Currently trading around $78,070, Bitcoin faces a critical test at the $78,000 support level. A break below could trigger further downside, aligning with the historical warning from the overheated profit margins.

Circle：Sluggish Market? The Top Stablecoin Stock Continues to Expand

Circle, the issuer of the stablecoin USDC, reported its Q1 2026 earnings on May 11th, Eastern Time. Against a backdrop of weak crypto market sentiment, USDC's average circulation in Q1 was $752 billion, with a modest 2% sequential increase to $770 billion by quarter-end. New minting volumes declined due to the poor crypto market, but remained high, indicating demand expansion beyond crypto trading. USDC's market share remained stable at 28% of the total stablecoin market, while competition from Tether's USDT persists. A key highlight was "Other Revenue," which reached $42 million, more than doubling year-over-year, though sequential growth slowed to 13%. This revenue stream, including fees from services like Web3 software, the Cipher payment network (CPN), and the Arc blockchain, is critical for diversifying away from interest income. Circle's internally held USDC share increased to 18%, helping to improve gross margin by 130 basis points to 41.4% by reducing external sharing costs. However, profitability was pressured as total revenue growth slowed, primarily due to the significant weight of interest income, which is tied to USDC规模 and Treasury rates. Adjusted EBITDA was $133 million with a 19.2% margin. Management maintained its full-year 2026 guidance for adjusted operating expenses ($570-$585 million) and other revenue ($150-$170 million). The long-term target for USDC's CAGR remains 40%, though near-term volatility is expected. The article concludes that while Circle's current valuation of $28 billion appears reasonable after a recent recovery, further upside depends on the pace of stable币 adoption and potential positive sentiment from the advancement of regulatory clarity acts like CLARITY.
