Altman Drops Bombshell While Musk is Away: He Once Wanted His Children to Inherit OpenAI

In a California court, Sam Altman testified for the first time in the ongoing legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI. Altman made a striking claim: Musk once suggested that control of OpenAI could one day be passed down to his children. This statement reframes the long-standing conflict not as a simple governance dispute but as a foundational power struggle. Altman sought to counter the narrative that OpenAI betrayed its original non-profit, idealistic mission. He argued that from the beginning, it was Musk who sought increasing control over the organization, including a larger equity stake and ultimate decision-making authority. Altman opposed this, citing OpenAI's core principle that AGI should not be controlled by any single individual. He also addressed the key point of contention about OpenAI's shift to a for-profit structure, claiming Musk was aware of and initially supportive of exploring such a model to secure the massive funding needed for advanced AI research. Altman framed the change as a practical necessity, not a betrayal. Further testimony revealed internal concerns after Musk left OpenAI's board, with worries he might take retaliatory action. Altman critiqued Musk's management style as unsuitable for a research lab, damaging morale and culture. Throughout his testimony, Altman's focus appeared to shift from technological idealism to the realities of organizational governance and resource requirements. Regarding his brief ouster in 2023, Altman stated he seriously considered joining Microsoft but ultimately returned because OpenAI was too important to abandon.

Wintermute Sounds Alarm: Bitcoin Surge A Short Squeeze, Not Sustainable Growth

Wintermute warns that Bitcoin's recent surge to $83,000 is primarily a short squeeze rather than sustainable growth, driven by a $10B jump in derivatives open interest and low spot volumes. The market maker cautions that short-covering differs from conviction buying, and a retracement is possible unless genuine spot demand emerges. While noting positive long-term factors like strong ETF inflows and low exchange reserves, the firm highlights near-term risks including overbought RSI levels and dependence on equity market sentiment. Bitcoin's ability to hold $80,000 support through potential macro shocks will be a key test of the rally's durability.

Bitcoin Is Setting Up A Similar Structure To 2017 & 2021, What Happened Last Time?

Bitcoin's recent climb back above $80,000 is drawing comparisons to patterns seen in 2017 and 2021, according to analyst Merlijn The Trader. In those previous cycles, Bitcoin briefly broke below key support—a "fakeout" that stopped out traders—only to quickly recover and then rally to new all-time highs. The current structure suggests a similar scenario may be unfolding, where a sharp drop below support (potentially under $60,000) could shake out weak holders before a swift recovery. The $80,000 level is now a critical technical juncture. A sustained move above $82,000 would support the bullish case, while a break below $78,000 could signal a bearish shift. However, the analyst's overall outlook remains bullish, projecting that if Bitcoin follows the historical playbook, this setup could eventually lead to a parabolic move toward a new peak above $242,000. As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $80,790.

How the $900 Billion Anthropic Was Built?

Anthropic, the AI startup behind Claude, is reportedly in early talks to raise at least $30 billion in new funding, targeting a valuation exceeding $900 billion. This would propel it past OpenAI's recent $852 billion valuation. The funding round is expected to close by late May 2026. The company's valuation surge is driven by extraordinary revenue growth, reportedly reaching an annualized $30 billion by March 2026 from $1 billion in December 2024. However, OpenAI questions this figure, suggesting a net revenue closer to $22 billion after cloud platform fees. Despite high revenue, Anthropic's gross margin is reportedly around 40%, and it is not yet profitable, with breakeven projected for 2028. A significant portion of the new capital would fund massive, pre-committed computing infrastructure with partners like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. This highlights a new AI financing model where high valuations fuel compute spending, which in turn requires even higher future valuations to sustain. Notably, many early-stage investors are reportedly sitting out this round. Bankers privately estimate a potential IPO valuation between $400-500 billion, creating a rare scenario where the final private funding round valuation ($900B+) could far exceed the expected public market debut. Anthropic is targeting an IPO between October 2026 and the first half of 2027. Its public listing is poised to be a critical test for the entire AI sector's valuation logic, potentially validating or challenging the high-stakes "valuation-compute-valuation" cycle that has defined private market investments.

UBS Enters the Fray, 20 Swiss Banks Now Offer Crypto Trading, Covering 2.5 Million Accounts

Global wealth management giant UBS has entered the cryptocurrency market, offering Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to select private banking clients in Switzerland as of January 2026. This move is part of a broader trend in Switzerland, where approximately 20 banks now provide crypto services, collectively covering over 2.5 million accounts. Client data from Zurich Cantonal Bank (ZKB) challenges the stereotype of crypto being solely for the young, revealing that the average buyer is aged 30-50 and predominantly male. Notably, over 40% of these clients previously held no investment portfolio, indicating crypto is activating dormant capital. The business case is proving substantial. For several Swiss banks, crypto-related activities already contribute a significant and disproportionate share of profits, with unit economics often outperforming traditional banking services. This institutional adoption in Switzerland reflects a global trend, with a recent survey showing 73% of institutional investors planning to increase crypto allocations in 2026. Switzerland's early regulatory clarity through its DLT Act and established custody infrastructure have provided a foundation for this growth. However, upcoming challenges include the implementation of the OECD's Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) in 2027 and ongoing reforms by Swiss regulator FINMA. The final shape of these regulations will be crucial in determining whether Switzerland can maintain its leading position in the global banking crypto sector.

Circle Releases Arc Network Whitepaper: Can the New Economic Mechanism Drive It to Become the "Clearing Coordination Layer" for Institutional-Grade Stablecoin Payments?

Circle has released the whitepaper for its Arc Network, detailing plans for a new economic coordination layer using the proposed ARC token. Arc is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for enterprise-level stablecoin payments, featuring USDC as its native gas token, a high-performance consensus mechanism for instant transaction finality, and optional enterprise privacy features. Currently operating on a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) model, the network plans a future transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system. The ARC token is intended to serve as the network's native coordination asset, facilitating governance, enabling staking rewards, and managing fee mechanisms. User fees paid in stablecoins would be converted to ARC, with portions distributed as rewards and burned. The governance model will blend token-based voting with institutional oversight, especially for high-sensitivity matters like security and compliance. While positioning Arc as a potential settlement layer for institutional stablecoin payments, the whitepaper acknowledges challenges. These include the network's current centralization, the unfinished and potentially volatile ARC token economics, and the evolving global regulatory landscape for stablecoins. The development signals a broader industry trend where Web3 infrastructure competition is shifting from pure performance to factors like liquidity, compliance, and institutional-grade stability.

An 18-Year-Old Hacker Brags on Discord, Accidentally Reveals a $19 Million Theft Case

An 18-year-old American hacker, Dritan Kapllani Jr., has been exposed by on-chain investigator ZachXBT for allegedly masterminding a series of social engineering attacks that stole approximately $19 million from crypto users. The investigation began after a Discord voice call on April 23, 2026, where Dritan shared his screen to boast, revealing an Exodus wallet holding around $3.68 million. Tracing this address, ZachXBT linked it to a major March 14, 2026 theft of 185 BTC (worth ~$13 million at the time), with about $5.3 million of that sum funneled into Dritan's wallet. Further analysis revealed the wallet also contained over $5.85 million from multiple social engineering thefts dating back to 2025. In a May 11, 2026 unsealed criminal complaint against another individual, Trenton Johnson, a key co-conspirator marked "CC-1" is identified, with the on-chain community pointing to Dritan. While not formally charged yet, he is now named in the judicial narrative. Another individual, Meme coin KOL yelotree, faces charges for allegedly assisting in money laundering. Dritan, known for a lavish lifestyle on social media, was previously seen as having a "protagonist aura" within hacking circles, evading consequences as associates were apprehended. However, now that he has turned 18, he is facing legal accountability for his past actions.

18-Year-Old Hacker's Boastful Discord Display Leads to Uncovering of $19 Million Theft Case

An 18-year-old hacker from the U.S., Dritan Kapllani Jr., has been exposed by on-chain investigator ZachXBT for his alleged involvement in multiple cryptocurrency social engineering attacks, with total funds stolen estimated at $19 million. The case gained attention after Dritan inadvertently revealed his involvement during a Discord voice call in April 2026, where he screen-shared his Exodus wallet containing approximately $3.68 million to show off his wealth during a "Band 4 Band" argument. Tracing this wallet address led investigators to uncover its connection to a major theft from March 14, 2026, where 185 Bitcoin (worth around $13 million at the time) was stolen. Approximately $5.3 million from that heist was funneled into Dritan’s wallet. Further analysis linked the same wallet to over $5.85 million from other social engineering attacks dating back to 2025. While Dritan has not yet been formally charged, he is identified as "Co-Conspirator 1" in recently unsealed court documents related to the 185 Bitcoin theft case. Another individual, Meme coin KOL yelotree, is also implicated for allegedly assisting with money laundering through a car rental business. Dritan, who had been living a lavish lifestyle and was previously seen as untouchable within hacking circles, turned 18 recently, making him legally accountable. His previous "immunity" has ended as law enforcement closes in.

Ilya Takes the Stand for Revenge, Confirming Altman Lied, Holding $70 Billion and Saying 'I Don't Want OpenAI to Be Destroyed'

Ilya Sutskever, former chief scientist of OpenAI, testified in Elon Musk's lawsuit against the company, alleging that CEO Sam Altman is a habitual liar who sowed discord among executives and created an environment that hindered serious AI safety discussions. Sutskever revealed he compiled a 52-page dossier on Altman's conduct over a year before the November 2023 boardroom attempt to oust him. He confirmed his OpenAI stake is worth $7 billion. During his testimony, Sutskever expressed regret over his role in the board's actions, citing a lack of experience and poor legal advice. He stated his reversal—signing a letter to reinstate Altman—was a desperate move to prevent OpenAI's collapse and a potential Microsoft takeover, saying, "I didn't want it to be destroyed." The trial also uncovered details about a potential OpenAI-Anthropic merger post-ouster and internal Microsoft communications pressuring for faster ChatGPT monetization. While Sutskever's testimony damaged Altman's credibility, it also countered part of Musk's case, as he stated he never promised Musk that OpenAI would remain non-profit. The trial's outcome could impact the future structure of the $850 billion-valued company.

Behind Galaxy Digital and SharpLink's $125 Million DeFi Fund: Why Are Institutional Funds Embracing DeFi Again?

In May 2026, Galaxy Digital and SharpLink announced a $125 million Institutional Onchain Yield Fund, marking a significant pivot as institutional capital begins systematically integrating corporate ETH treasuries into DeFi. This move signals a shift from passive crypto holdings to active on-chain asset management. SharpLink is evolving into an "ETH Treasury Company," focusing on managing ETH's capital efficiency beyond simple staking, akin to a digital-age internet bond. Galaxy's role is to embed Wall Street-grade risk controls—managing exposure, volatility, and compliance—into DeFi, positioning itself as an "Onchain Asset Manager." This renewed institutional interest stems from DeFi's maturation into a "real yield" era with sustainable cash flows from stablecoin lending, on-chain treasuries, restaking, and RWA pools. Stablecoins have institutionalized into an on-chain dollar system, while restaking (e.g., EigenLayer) is reshaping ETH into a productive yield-bearing asset, forming an "internet benchmark rate." The collaboration reflects an upgrade to ETH's narrative: from a speculative asset to productive on-chain collateral and financial infrastructure. However, institutionalization amplifies systemic risks like liquidity crises and cross-protocol contagion, akin to traditional finance's pitfalls. Ultimately, this fund represents a foundational step toward building a native internet financial system—with stablecoins as digital dollars, ETH as reserve capital, and DeFi as banking—indicating that on-chain markets may become integral to the global financial architecture.
