This week's major token unlocks feature significant releases from several projects, led by Bitget Token (BGB). A total of 140 million BGB tokens (Bitget Exchange's official token), valued at approximately $510 million, are scheduled for unlock. Additionally, EigenLayer will unlock 36.82 million tokens (worth ~$12.33 million). This protocol, built on Ethereum, introduces restaking, a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security that allows staked ETH to secure other applications on its network. Humanity Protocol has two separate unlocks: 105 million tokens (~$17.48 million) and 88.91 million tokens (~$11.38 million). The project is an anti-Sybil blockchain network providing a unique human identity verification mechanism, giving users full ownership of their data and identity. Release curves for each token unlock are provided in the accompanying charts.

EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces the concept of restaking, a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security. This primitive allows for the restaking of ETH at the consensus layer. Users who stake ETH can opt into EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their ETH and extend cryptoeconomic security to other applications on the network.

Following the Coldcard Hack, One of the Largest Bitcoin Wallet Hacks Recently, a New Wave of Losses Begins! Losses Are Mounting

Following a major hack targeting Coldcard hardware wallets, losses have surged to approximately 1,367 BTC ($88.6 million) across 4,585 addresses. The third wave of attacks stole an additional 207.7 BTC, exhibiting different patterns from the first two. While initial attacks used shared deposit addresses and targeted P2WPKH wallets, the latest wave employed unique recipient addresses per victim and focused on P2WSH addresses. Analysis by Galaxy Research cannot definitively link all three waves to the same attacker, raising the possibility of a second actor exploiting the known vulnerability. The stolen funds, predominantly from wallets holding under 1 BTC, remain unspent. The vulnerable Coldcard firmware was released in March 2021, and all stolen coins originate from after that date.

Trump Media sells another 2,628 BTC, holdings fall to 4,261 BTC

Trump Media & Technology Group has sold an additional 2,628 Bitcoin (worth approximately $165 million), continuing a series of sales over the past seven months. According to blockchain data from Arkham cited by Lookonchain, these latest transfers to Crypto.com bring the company's total reported Bitcoin sales to 7,281 BTC (worth about $545 million), reducing its holdings by 63%. The company's remaining Bitcoin holdings now stand at 4,261 BTC, valued at $269.8 million. Trump Media initially purchased 11,542 BTC at an average price of $118,522 before beginning the sales. This activity occurs amid broader scrutiny of crypto ventures linked to former President Donald Trump, as lawmakers debate the CLARITY Act, which focuses on ethics rules, digital asset ownership, and potential conflicts of interest for public officials.

In Jinjiang, Fujian, a Storage Super Unicorn Lies Quiet

In Fujian's Jinjiang, a city known for sportswear, lies a quiet semiconductor giant: Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. (JHICC). Once a promising domestic DRAM manufacturer alongside Yangtze Memory and ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), its journey was derailed in 2018 when the U.S. placed it on an Entity List and filed criminal charges for alleged trade secret theft. This halted production for years. A turning point came in February 2024 when a U.S. federal court found JHICC not guilty. However, it had lost crucial time. While CXMT soared to become a top-valued A-share company in 2024, JHICC, with an estimated valuation of 80 billion RMB, was just restarting. Its current output is primarily customized DDR4 chips, not the advanced DDR5/HBM demanded for AI, but it still benefits from the broader memory chip upcycle. JHICC's story is tied to Chen Zhengkun, a veteran engineer who left Micron to lead the venture. Founded in 2016 with state-backed funding, JHICC partnered with Taiwan's UMC to develop DRAM technology. Rapid progress was cut short by the U.S. actions, which Micron initiated, partly due to its heavy reliance on the Chinese market. Post-sanctions, Chen's team worked to rebuild the production line with reduced reliance on U.S. technology. According to its records, JHICC achieved small-scale production and revenue growth under immense pressure. It now focuses on the stable "niche" DRAM market (e.g., TVs, routers) with a monthly capacity of ~40,000 wafers, aiming for 60,000 by 2026. It holds over 1,000 patents but remains on the Entity List. For Jinjiang, investing in JHICC was a bold industrial leap. The local government provided unwavering financial and logistical support during the crisis, helping the company survive. JHICC has become the anchor for a growing local semiconductor cluster. Though its scale lags behind domestic peers, JHICC's persistence symbolizes a hard-won foothold in a global market long dominated by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. Having missed one boom, it seeks a place in the new AI-driven memory supercycle.

Amid a 38GW Power Shortage, Why Have Bitcoin Mining Facilities Suddenly Become the New Gateway to AI Compute?

Under the impending threat of a 38GW power deficit projected for US data centers between 2026-2028, decommissioned Bitcoin mining sites are emerging as critical infrastructure for AI compute. A growing number of listed North American miners—including TeraWulf, Hut 8, and Cipher Mining—are pivoting to become "Powered Shell Providers." They are repurposing their existing assets: pre-approved grid connections, land, and substations to offer ready-to-use data center shells to cloud providers and AI companies. This shift capitalizes on the severe bottleneck in securing new, large-scale power access, which can take 5-7 years. Analysts at Morgan Stanley estimate retrofitted mining facilities could supply 10-19GW of the needed capacity. The core value proposition is no longer cryptocurrency mining, but selling a scarce "time to power" advantage in the race for AI infrastructure.

He emphasized that the authorization permits but does not obligate sales for specific purposes and that no new approval has been announced. Saylor also noted the company never officially adopted a "bitcoin will never be sold" policy.
