Özet

This article from Odaily introduces three recent interactive opportunities in the crypto/blockchain space. First, **The Beacon**, a fantasy action RPG backed by Arbitrum, has opened pre-registration for its Season 1 starting May 25th. With a prize pool of 7.7 million BCN tokens, this is presented as a final chance to earn BCN before its Token Generation Event (TGE). Second, **GenLayer**, an AI-native blockchain platform, has launched a testnet for its FUD Markets project. The tutorial guides users through signing in, obtaining test USDC on Base Sepolia, making a test trade, sharing their experience on X, and submitting the post to GenLayer's portal for potential rewards. Finally, **Seismic**, an EVM-compatible privacy-focused L1, has launched its testnet. The guide explains how to claim test tokens (requiring social verification), deploy a contract, and join the official Discord community to aim for early contributor status. All three projects represent active testnet or pre-launch phases where users can interact for potential future airdrops or rewards.

Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Basis Remains High Within Biggest Supply Cluster

Bitcoin's recent recovery from February lows is approaching a critical supply cluster between $84,000 and $88,000, which holds the largest concentration of Bitcoin supply on the current chart. This zone represents the cost basis for short-term holders (investors who bought within the last 155 days) and is stacked with "trapped" sellers who bought near those levels and are now at breakeven. Technical analysis suggests the rally faces significant resistance in this area. Two primary scenarios are outlined: a direct push into the $84k-$86k zone followed by a rejection and pullback to $70,000 support, or a more volatile path involving a dip before testing the supply cluster. A weekly close above $84,000 would weaken the bearish rejection case, but a decisive break above $86,900-$88,000 is needed for a stronger bullish confirmation. Bitcoin is currently trading around $80,430.

Who Will Define the Rules of the AI Era? Anthropic Discusses the 2028 US-China AI Landscape

This article, based on Anthropic's analysis, outlines the intensifying systemic competition between the U.S./allies and China for AI leadership by 2028. It argues that access to advanced computing power ("compute") is the critical bottleneck, where the U.S. currently holds a significant advantage through chip export controls and allied innovation. However, China's AI labs remain competitive by exploiting policy loopholes—via chip smuggling, overseas data center access, and "model distillation" attacks to copy U.S. model capabilities—keeping them close to the frontier. The piece presents two contrasting scenarios for 2028. In the first, decisive U.S. action to tighten compute controls and curb distillation locks in a 12-24 month AI capability lead, cementing democratic influence over global AI norms, security, and economic infrastructure. In the second, policy inaction allows China to achieve near-parity through continued access to U.S. technology, enabling Beijing to promote its AI stack globally and integrate advanced AI into its military and governance systems, altering the strategic balance. Anthropic contends that maintaining a decisive U.S. lead is essential for shaping safe AI development and governance. The core recommendation is for U.S. policymakers to urgently close compute and model access loopholes while promoting global adoption of the U.S. AI technology stack to secure a lasting strategic advantage.

“Why Didn’t You Buy 2x Long SK Hynix?”

The article discusses the immense popularity of the "2x Long SK Hynix ETF" (07709.HK) in Hong Kong, which became the world's largest single-stock leveraged ETF by May 2026. Launched in October 2025, the ETF's net value soared over 1000% in seven months, significantly outperforming the 324% gain of SK Hynix's underlying stock, driven by the AI boom and a critical shift in industry demand from computing power to memory. It highlights the mechanics and risks of daily-rebalanced leveraged ETFs. In a smooth bullish market, they generate amplified returns, but during volatile periods—exemplified by market swings during geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz in March-April 2026—they suffer severe "volatility decay," where choppy price action can cause losses far exceeding twice the drop of the underlying asset. The piece frames SK Hynix, as NVIDIA's primary HBM supplier, within the classic cycle of the memory chip industry—a commoditized sector prone to boom-and-bust cycles of shortage, price hikes, overcapacity, and crashes. While current AI-driven demand and high margins (Q1 2026毛利率~79%) create a "super cycle," the article questions its sustainability. It warns that extreme profits will inevitably tempt competitors like Samsung and Micron to ramp up HBM production, potentially eroding scarcity. Furthermore, the entire narrative remains tethered to the massive AI capital expenditure of tech giants. In conclusion, the ETF's trajectory symbolizes the accelerated, all-in nature of the current AI revolution, where timeframes are compressed and market moves are extreme. However, it also underscores that while industry trends define ultimate returns, macro-geopolitical risks dictate the volatile and uncertain path to get there.

Cardano (ADA) Could Launch New Bull Phase With Investor Confidence On The Rise

Cardano (ADA) has broken above $0.25, showing signs of a potential new bullish phase. Analyst Ali Martinez highlights a buy signal from the SuperTrend Indicator on the daily chart, suggesting the end of a corrective period. He predicts a surge toward $0.33, with a secondary target of $0.42, provided ADA holds the $0.25 support level. On-chain data reveals key stakeholders, or "sharks and whales," have been accumulating ADA since December 2023, with addresses holding over 1 million ADA now controlling 67.47% of the supply. This accumulation during a period of discounted prices is seen as a boost for investor confidence and could support a sustained upward price movement.

a16z Crypto: A Guide to the CLARITY Act for Crypto Entrepreneurs

The CLARITY Act, a landmark bipartisan crypto market structure legislation, has advanced through the Senate Banking Committee, bringing unprecedented regulatory clarity for blockchain networks and digital assets closer to law. For over a decade, the lack of clear U.S. rules has stifled innovation, pushed development overseas, and exposed consumers to risk. The CLARITY Act aims to end this by establishing a tailored framework that distinguishes decentralized networks from traditional corporate structures. It provides a path for launching networks safely, clarifies jurisdictional roles between the SEC and CFTC, and enhances consumer protections. This legislative progress builds upon earlier bills like FIT21 and the House's CLARITY Act, which gained strong bipartisan support. The author argues that existing corporate law is ill-suited for decentralized networks, which operate on shared rules rather than centralized control. By aligning U.S. law with the nature of blockchain technology, CLARITY would enable builders to innovate transparently within the U.S., similar to the wave of innovation unleashed by the stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act. The next steps involve merging committee drafts for a full Senate vote, followed by House approval and a presidential signature.
