Kelp DAO's $400 Million Bad Debt Was Covered, But at a $12 Billion Cost to Aave

On May 26th, Kelp DAO successfully transferred its final batch of rsETH, completing the 37-day process of fully backing rsETH 1:1 after a security incident. However, the resolution came at a significant cost to Aave. The protocol's TVL plummeted by over $12 billion in the following month. Furthermore, a separate legal battle over 30,766 frozen ETH continues in court, posing ongoing reputational risk. The recovery was enabled by an unprecedented, one-time coalition dubbed "DeFi United," involving major contributions from Aave's founder, treasury, Consensys, Mantle, and others. Despite this, the event triggered a major outflow of funds, with whales like Justin Sun moving capital to competitors like Spark. Aave's path to regaining its position relies heavily on the successful execution of its multi-pronged strategy. Its new V4 protocol, designed for open, heterogeneous asset markets, faces delays due to internal governance disputes. Meanwhile, the V3 version remains the core revenue generator, and the permissioned Horizon fork is targeting institutional RWA (Real-World Assets) growth—a segment less impacted by the rsETH incident but dependent on traditional finance adoption timelines. The key takeaway is that while the immediate bad debt was covered, Aave paid a steep price in lost trust and capital. Recovering market share depends on accelerating V4's rollout and advancing its institutional RWA offerings, both of which face external and internal hurdles. The "DeFi United" safety net is unlikely to be replicable for future crises.

Microsoft to Discontinue Using Claude: Too Expensive, or a Calculated Move?

Microsoft is discontinuing internal access to the AI coding assistant Claude Code for its engineers, citing high costs and transitioning them to its own GitHub Copilot CLI. Reports indicate that Claude Code's usage-based pricing model led to significant expenses, with estimates of $500-$2000 per engineer monthly, prompting cost reviews even at large firms like Uber. While Microsoft officially attributes the move to cost, analysis suggests it may also be a strategic move. Microsoft allowed internal use of Claude Code for six months to benchmark it against Copilot, gathering feedback to improve its own product. This "experiment" highlights deeper challenges: Microsoft lacks a competitive in-house general-purpose AI model, heavily relying on external partners like OpenAI and Anthropic. Claude Code has gained substantial market traction, surpassing Copilot in features like context window size and task completion rates, and is eroding Microsoft's control over the developer ecosystem. The shift signals broader industry concerns over AI pricing models and the strategic risks of dependency on external, rapidly evolving AI tools.

Technology Has No Barriers, 24/7 Trading is the Key to Hyperliquid's Success

The article argues that Hyperliquid's competitive edge lies not in technological superiority but in its 24/7 trading model, which fundamentally challenges traditional finance's fixed market hours. Based in Singapore with an 11-person team, Hyperliquid has generated significant revenue and trading volume. Its core advantage is the ability to facilitate trading continuously, including during weekends when major exchanges like the CME are closed. This was demonstrated when Hyperliquid listed a SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contract on a Sunday, allowing the market to price the company hours before traditional institutions opened. This disruption has drawn regulatory scrutiny from traditional giants like CME and ICE, who cite risks like lack of KYC and market manipulation. However, the article suggests their concern stems from Hyperliquid eroding the "time monopoly" of established markets. The piece contrasts Hyperliquid's synthetic derivatives—pure price-betting contracts with no underlying asset or centralized issuer—with other models like PreStocks (dependent on real股权) and Ondo (licensed but targetable). Hyperliquid's code-based, decentralized structure makes it resilient to takedowns, even if founders face legal action. Ultimately, the author concludes that while it raises legitimate regulatory questions, Hyperliquid's "unforgeable" competitive barrier is the time advantage of non-stop trading, a feature legacy systems cannot replicate.

Leading Players in Large Models Drain the Primary Market

The AI industry is witnessing an unprecedented concentration of capital into a handful of leading players, signaling what insiders call the "eve of a final shakeout." A staggering funding surge exceeding $7 billion hit just three Chinese companies in May alone—Kimi, StepFun (接近完成融资), and DeepSeek—with the latter's valuation reaching $45-$50 billion. Globally, giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX (set to merge with xAI) are preparing for public listings, collectively eyeing valuations over $3 trillion. This capital is no longer fueling a broad "hundred-model war" but is being funneled to "refuel" the final few contenders, following a sector-wide attrition rate exceeding 90%. This frenzy is driven by a fundamental shift in industry logic. The focus has moved from比拼模型智商 (competing on model intelligence) to "token factory economics." The explosion of long-context AI agents has massively increased token consumption per task. With token supply constrained by bottlenecks in HBM memory and power infrastructure—key factors in production costs—dominance now hinges on owning and efficiently operating large-scale compute resources. Major tech firms are investing hundreds of billions annually in this AI "power grid." Consequently, competition pivots to three core areas: 1) **Monetization** as the "AGI premium" cools, forcing a shift from user growth to revenue; 2) **Cost efficiency**, where reducing inference costs becomes the ultimate KPI as model capabilities commoditize; and 3) **Strategic path divergence** between enterprise-focused AI (prioritizing integration and reliability) and consumer-facing applications (betting on scale and user engagement). The message is clear: the final capital injections are determining the endgame lineup. Success will depend not just on technical prowess, but on transforming technology into a sustainable, profitable business model with demonstrable return on massive compute investments.

DeepSeek Announces Permanent Price Cut, But Liang Wenfeng Is Not Trying to Be a "Cyber Bodhisattva"

DeepSeek has announced a permanent 75% discount on its V4-Pro API, significantly reducing its token prices. This move stands out as a major industry-wide price cut while competitors like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google have been quietly raising theirs. The article contrasts this strategy with the broader trend of AI becoming more expensive, citing examples of companies like Microsoft and Uber struggling with high token costs as usage soars. While CEO Liang Wenfeng is hailed by some as a "Cyber Bodhisattva" for this普惠 approach, the article argues this is a strategic business choice, not mere altruism. DeepSeek's ability to maintain low prices is attributed to several structural advantages: lower-cost AI talent in China, the impending use of domestic昇腾 hardware for further cost reductions, and, most critically, access to China's cheaper and more abundant energy infrastructure, which drastically reduces the electricity costs dominating AI operations. The analysis suggests that for many commercial applications, a "good enough" model that is radically cheaper (e.g., 1% to 11% of GPT-5.5's cost) is more valuable than the absolute top-tier model. This allows for vastly more experimentation and iteration within a budget. Therefore, as AI generally becomes more expensive, DeepSeek's cost-competitiveness—rooted in China's energy and talent advantages—becomes its core strategic value and differentiator in the global market.

$2 Billion Write-Off: Manus Plans Hong Kong IPO for a Comeback?

The $2 billion acquisition of Chinese AI startup Manus by Meta was officially blocked by Chinese regulators in April 2026, citing national security concerns under foreign investment review rules. Despite the deal being completed months prior, with Manus integrated into Meta, the unprecedented "prohibited" ruling forced a reversal. In response, Manus's founders are now negotiating a $1 billion funding round to buy back the company from Meta at a valuation matching the original $2 billion, followed by plans to establish a Chinese joint venture and pursue a Hong Kong IPO. The article details Manus's rapid rise to $100 million in annual recurring revenue within eight months, leading to Meta's swift acquisition. However, regulators deemed its core technology and data too strategically linked to China, regardless of its Singapore headquarters. The forced unwind is complex, as Manus's team and tech are deeply embedded within Meta. Facing a reshaped competitive landscape in China's AI Agent sector with rivals like Zhipu and MiniMax, Manus sees an IPO as essential for survival and future funding. Hong Kong is presented as the ideal venue, given its recent boom in AI listings, investor appetite for high-growth tech firms, and favorable mechanisms for ongoing capital raises. The move symbolizes Manus's shift from dependence on a foreign giant to seeking independent, market-driven growth.

Has Microsoft Lost Its Way in the AI Race, and Can Copilot Bring It Back on Track?

Microsoft, once seen as an early AI frontrunner due to its investment in OpenAI, is navigating a strategic shift amid increased competition. Its initial reliance on OpenAI’s GPT models has been complicated by OpenAI’s growing ambitions as a direct competitor, rapid advancements from rivals like Claude and Gemini, and the disruptive rise of AI agents, which challenge its traditional SaaS business model. These factors contributed to stock declines and slower-than-expected adoption of its flagship Copilot products. In response, CEO Satya Nadella has taken a hands-on role in product development, signaling the urgency of change. Microsoft is pivoting from a model-centric strategy to a "model-agnostic" enterprise platform approach. It aims to become the foundational layer connecting various AI models—from OpenAI, Anthropic, or its own new "Superintelligence" team—with enterprise workflows, data, security, and cloud services. Recent organizational changes merged consumer and enterprise Copilot teams to accelerate innovation, exemplified by new products like Copilot Tasks and Copilot Cowork. However, this transformation comes at a high cost. Microsoft faces massive capital expenditures, potentially reaching ~$190 billion by 2026, to support AI infrastructure. While its platform strategy shows early signs of traction with growing Azure AI revenue, it must balance startup-like agility with the reliability expected by enterprise clients. The core challenge is no longer being the sole AI winner but defending its position as the essential enterprise software entry point amidst rapid technological commoditization and the shift towards always-on AI agents.

GitHub Empire on the Brink of Collapse: Source Code Leak, 18-Year Veteran Leaves, Microsoft Loses 1.5 Billion Developers

GitHub is facing an unprecedented crisis, marked by a massive exodus of developers and severe operational failures. The tipping point came when Mitchell Hashimoto, creator of Ghostty and an 18-year GitHub user, publicly severed ties, citing persistent platform outages that made serious work impossible. This departure highlights a broader pattern of user frustration. The platform's instability has drawn complaints from major corporate clients like Citibank and Intel, forcing Microsoft to issue substantial service credits. A critical incident last month saw an accidentally triggered, unreleased feature cause widespread repository rollbacks, erasing recent code changes and pushing enterprises to migrate. Security has catastrophically breached. In May 2026, hackers infiltrated over 3,800 of GitHub's internal repositories via a poisoned VS Code extension installed by a developer, leading to the attempted sale of core source code for $50,000. This follows the discovery of a critical zero-day vulnerability in March that threatened access to millions of repositories. Internally, GitHub's autonomy has collapsed. After the resignation of CEO Thomas Dohmke in mid-2025, Microsoft eliminated the CEO role, folding GitHub into its CoreAI division under the unpopular leadership of Jay Parikh. This triggered a talent drain, with key executives and engineers leaving. A disruptive migration of GitHub's infrastructure to Azure servers, pushed by CTO Vladimir Fedorov, is blamed for the recurring outages. Competitively, GitHub Copilot is under "existential threat" from superior AI coding tools like Cursor (now owned by SpaceX) and Claude Code, which offer more advanced contextual coding and automation. Ironically, Microsoft's own engineers reportedly preferred Claude Code, forcing management to revoke licenses. Financially, GitHub is a loss leader. Despite Copilot surpassing 4.7 million paid users and $3 billion in annual revenue, the AI inference costs for free services massively outstrip subscription income, hurting Microsoft's cloud margins. The recent shift from a flat fee to a pay-as-you-go model for Copilot has further alienated developers. The core question for Microsoft is whether a centralized code repository remains essential in the AI agent era. The erosion of trust, developer culture, and platform reliability threatens the very ecosystem Microsoft spent decades building.

Token Packages Are Here, Are Telecom Operators in a Hurry?

Major Chinese telecom operators are launching token-based AI computing packages, sparking public debate and highlighting a strategic shift amid slowing traditional revenue growth. In May, Shanghai Telecom introduced token plans (e.g., 9.9 RMB for 10 million tokens), quickly followed by nationwide offerings from China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom. While priced higher than major AI firms like DeepSeek, these packages allow users to access multiple AI models via API using their phone bills, similar to purchasing universal mobile data. The move reflects operators' anxiety as traditional voice, SMS, and data services stagnate. With revenue growth hitting multi-year lows in 2025, AI and computing power represent a critical new frontier. However, current C端 offerings, such as AI photo editing or virtual pets, are seen as non-essential and highlight operators' role as "pipes" or integrators rather than creators of compelling AI products. Beyond consumer packages, operators aim to become key infrastructure players in China’s national computing power network. They position themselves as the "power grid" delivering AI算力, leveraging their vast network of base stations to ensure low-latency, reliable coverage, especially for applications like autonomous driving. This infrastructure role, coupled with unified national调度, could make算力 a ubiquitous utility, driving new consumption scenarios even if mass adoption of token packages remains uncertain.

BIT Research: After U.S.-China Summit, Markets Begin Repricing "Long-Term Competition"

The market is undergoing a macro repricing driven by geopolitics and policy expectations. Initial interpretations of the recent U.S.-China summit as a signal of eased tensions triggered a risk-on rally, boosting tech stocks and Bitcoin while weakening the dollar. However, as details emerged, this optimism faded due to a lack of concrete progress on tariffs, AI export controls, or key geopolitical issues like Taiwan and Iran. Inflation concerns have resurfaced, renewing selling pressure on bonds and precious metals. Longer-term, the summit underscored ongoing strategic competition: a marginal decline in dollar dominance, a push for diversified global reserve assets, AI and semiconductor supply chain restructuring, and intensified rivalry in frontier tech like low-earth orbit satellites. Bitcoin's price action mirrored high-beta tech stocks more than a structural hedge, highlighting its continued sensitivity to risk appetite and liquidity over traditional safe-haven characteristics. While the meeting yielded modest outcomes like a U.S. agricultural purchase pledge and continued dialogue mechanisms, it primarily reflects "managed competition." Structural tensions remain unresolved in areas like tech and geopolitics, affirming trends toward strategic decoupling and prolonged geopolitical risk. The key for markets is the broader repricing of global liquidity, real yields, and this enduring competitive landscape.
