Özet

This article presents a "Top 100 AI Influencers" list for the English-speaking world, curated by XHunt. To cut through the noise, the ranking uses a unique metric: "AI KOL Followers," which counts followers from within a core circle of 5,500 top AI figures. The list is dominated by executives from major tech companies, leading scientists, and foundational builders who shape industry consensus. Topping the list are figures like Andrej Karpathy (Eureka Labs founder, ex-OpenAI/Tesla), Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO), Greg Brockman (OpenAI President), and Jeff Dean (Google DeepMind). Other notable names include researchers like Ilya Sutskever (SSI), Yann LeCun (Meta AI), Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind), and Andrew Ng, alongside entrepreneurs like Elon Musk (xAI) and Aravind Srinivas (Perplexity). The list highlights diverse roles: technical educators, open-source advocates (e.g., Clem from Hugging Face), policy experts, investors, and hands-on builders. It positions the English-speaking sphere as the theoretical "storm center" of AI, focused on core research, model development, and AGI pathways. The article concludes by teasing a forthcoming list for the Chinese-speaking AI community, described as a more application-focused "frontline workshop."

The above is the complete list of XHunt's Global AI Influence Top 100 for the English region.

It's easy to see that the English information stream is the epicenter of the AI storm, primarily dominated by executives from tech giants, researchers from top labs, and builders of underlying infrastructure. They discuss large model parameters, the future boundaries of AI, and the path to AGI.

Compared to the hardcore frontier of the English region, the Chinese AI ecosystem is more like a frontline application workshop under heavy fire: there is a group of incredibly vital practical players. Some are iterating products like crazy, some maintain high-star open-source projects, some explore AI for overseas monetization, and others dedicate themselves daily to translating complex industry changes into language ordinary people can understand.

Tomorrow, we will release "Exclusive: Chinese Region Top 100 AI Influence List."

Let's uncover who is truly leading industry consensus in the Chinese circle, closer to application and monetization?

Which builders deserve your special attention?

Note: English AI Influence Ranking Criteria: Based on a reference group of Top 5500 KOLs in the English region, ranked in real-time by their follower count within that group, content primarily in English. Only accounts with AI tweet ratio ≥ 40% are shown.

IOSG: After the Number of Developers Halved, Crypto Did Not Die

The crypto development community has undergone a significant transformation, with monthly active developers on GitHub halving from 45K in 2022 to approximately 23K by 2026. This decline is largely attributed to the departure of newcomers, whose roles were often tied to market-driven hype cycles like NFTs and forked DeFi protocols, leading to a 52% churn rate among those with less than a year of experience. However, the core of the industry has strengthened. Established developers with over two years of experience have reached a record high, contributing about 70% of the code. They are consolidating around ecosystems with genuine users and revenue, such as Bitcoin and Solana, while moving away from narrative-driven projects. The talent shift represents a "deleveraging" and an increase in core density. This core group has developed a unique skillset by operating in an environment of "code is law," with zero tolerance for error and no external recourse. They have learned to build trust and functional systems from the ground up without central authorities, as demonstrated by protocols like Uniswap and MakerDAO. These capabilities are now being repriced and leveraged in the AI era. The structural challenges of AI scaling—such as trust, coordination, and verification—mirror those long addressed in crypto. Examples include CoreWeave pivoting from GPU mining to AI compute, OpenSea's founder applying NFT market logic to AI model routing with OpenRouter, and projects like NEAR and Catena Labs transitioning crypto-native architectural and financial insights into AI infrastructure and agent banking. Key areas where crypto-bred skills are directly applicable to AI include: 1. **Compute Aggregation & Optimization**: Using token incentives and cryptographic verification (e.g., Proof of Sampling & Privacy) to create trusted, decentralized GPU networks, as seen with Hyperbolic. 2. **AI Governance & Incentive Design**: Applying economic mechanism design from DAOs and tokenomics to align the goals of multiple, fast-acting AI agents, a direction explored by EigenLayer's EigenCloud. 3. **AI Agent Autonomous Payments**: Leveraging stablecoins and programmable, permissionless blockchains to enable the micro-transactions required for AI agent economies, exemplified by protocols like x402. The role of the crypto builder is evolving from writing smart contracts to designing trust mechanisms for autonomous AI systems. This convergence is reflected in hiring trends at major firms and significant capital allocation from funds like Paradigm and a16z crypto, which are investing at the intersection of crypto and AI. Regional differences exist, with the US favoring foundational protocol innovation and Asia focusing on compliant application-layer integration, but the underlying trend is clear. The industry's "deleveraging" has not signaled its demise but rather a maturation, positioning its core builders to solve critical trust and coordination problems in the age of AI.

Currency and Stock Market Barometer: Strategy Invested Over $2 Billion to Buy Over 24,800 BTC Last Week; Bitmine's ETH Holdings Increase to 4.37% of Total Supply (May 19)

Crypto & Stock Market Watch: Institutional BTC Buying Surges, ETH Holdings Grow Major listed companies aggressively accumulated Bitcoin last week, with net purchases skyrocketing over 44x to $2.03 billion. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) led the charge, spending approximately $2.01 billion to buy 24,869 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 843,738 BTC. Overall, listed firms (excluding miners) now hold 1,113,841 BTC, valued at ~$86.16 billion. On the Ethereum front, Bitmine purchased 71,672 ETH in the past week. It now holds 5,278,462 ETH, worth $11.56 billion and representing 4.37% of ETH's total supply. A significant portion (4,712,917 ETH) is staked, generating an annualized yield of $289 million. Industry leaders note a divergence from the MicroStrategy model, with ETH treasury firms increasingly focusing on staking yields and simpler balance sheets. In traditional markets, Morgan Stanley warns of a potential significant U.S. stock market correction if bond yields and volatility continue rising. Investment giants like Berkshire Hathaway and Bridgewater adjusted portfolios in Q1, with Bridgewater notably increasing its stakes in chipmakers like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron while shedding software stocks. Among other crypto-focused public companies, Solana treasury firm Upexi reported a widened net loss of $109 million for its fiscal Q3, driven by a decline in its crypto holdings' value. Meanwhile, Hyperion DeFi, a HYPE token treasury company, reported a Q1 net profit of $8.8 million and increased its HYPE holdings past 2 million tokens.

Global Long-Term Bonds Break Down: The Fiscal Illusion of the Low-Interest Era is Collapsing

Global long-term bonds are experiencing a widespread breakdown, as the fiscal illusion of the low-interest-rate era collapses. Sovereign yields are hitting multi-year highs in the US, UK, Japan, and France, signaling a market repricing driven by a common reality: unsustainable debt and deficits outpacing economic growth, compounded by renewed inflationary pressures from energy shocks. The direct trigger is the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has pushed oil prices higher and reignited inflation fears. This squeezes central bank policy space, with expectations shifting from future rate cuts to potential hikes. The core "fiscal Ponzi scheme" is becoming evident—governments rely on new debt to service existing obligations, but as growth lags and borrowing costs rise, investors demand higher yields. Key developments include the US 30-year yield surpassing 5% for the first time since 2007, with tepid auction demand; Japan's 30-year yield reaching 4%, threatening its long-standing low-rate financial system; and political paralysis in the UK and France making meaningful fiscal consolidation unlikely. The marginal buyer for US debt is also shifting from foreign central banks to more price-sensitive private investors. While debt managers may adjust issuance, fundamental drivers—deteriorating fiscal paths, persistent inflation, and constrained central banks—remain. The market is conclusively repricing the end of the low-interest-rate financing model for highly indebted developed economies.

Following the KelpDAO Hack: $40 Billion in Assets Flee LayerZero, Chainlink Emerges as the Primary 'Beneficiary'

Following a major security breach in April where KelpDAO's bridge using LayerZero was attacked for approximately $292 million, a significant shift is underway in the cross-chain infrastructure landscape. An estimated $40 billion in assets is in the process of migrating or has already migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The attack exploited a single-point-of-failure vulnerability due to KelpDAO's 1-of-1 validator configuration within the LayerZero network. Attackers corrupted RPC nodes and used DDoS attacks to force the system to rely on compromised nodes, allowing fraudulent messages. While LayerZero acknowledged a serious error in allowing its validator network to service high-value transactions with such a configuration, the incident highlighted critical security risks. This triggered a rapid migration wave. Starting with KelpDAO on May 6th, several major protocols—including Solv Protocol, Re, Tydro, Kraken, and Lombard—announced switching their cross-chain infrastructure exclusively to Chainlink CCIP. The combined value of these migrations is estimated to be around $40 billion. This movement followed earlier major adoptions by Coinbase (in late 2025) and Circle (in early 2024). Market sentiment reflected this shift, with LINK's price showing relative stability while ZRO (LayerZero's token) declined significantly. Data indicates a net outflow of approximately $20.1 billion from the LayerZero network over 30 days. The migration is largely driven by perceived security differences. Chainlink CCIP employs a decentralized oracle network as its default consensus layer, featuring multiple independent node operators, a separate Risk Management Network, and built-in safeguards like rate limits. In contrast, LayerZero's highly modular architecture offers flexibility but places more responsibility on application developers to configure security settings, a risk underscored by the KelpDAO incident. LayerZero has since apologized for its communication handling post-attack and stated the protocol itself was not compromised, but rather its Labs DVN's internal RPC was poisoned. An official post-mortem report with external security partners is forthcoming.
