SK hynix has moved towards the trillion-dollar market capitalization threshold
Just a few weeks after Samsung Electronics' market capitalization exceeded the trillion dollar mark, SK hynix is also preparing to enter this trillion dollar market capitalization club. Thanks to the strong demand in the field of artificial intelligence, South Korea has become the core of this round of AI boom in Asia. After achieving a staggering 274% increase in 2025, SK hynix's stock price has surged further by over 200% this year. Once SK hynix follows Samsung in crossing the trillion-dollar market capitalization threshold, South Korea will become the first market outside the United States to have more than two companies with a market capitalization of more than one trillion dollars. "The current market is dominated by 'fear of missing out' (FOMO) sentiment, especially in AI-related concept stocks in Japan and South Korea," said Fabien Yip, market analyst at IG Group in Sydney.

U.S. judge postpones hearing on Aave's application to unfreeze $71 million in stolen ETH
According to ChainCatcher news, New York Judge Margaret M. Garnett on Wednesday postponed a ruling on Aave's emergency application aimed at freezing $71 million in ETH related to the Kelp DAO hack and required both parties to submit supplemental opinions before the June 5 hearing. Aave attempted to get back $71 million of ETH frozen by Arbitrum to assist in asset recovery efforts for the hack — the hack that cost Kelp DAO $293 million, one of the worst security incidents in the DeFi space this year.
However, U.S. law firm Gerstein Harrow LLP filed a restraining order with the court in early May, asserting its clients' rights to the said funds. Aave immediately filed an urgent motion to lift the freeze, warning that if funds are not released in time, it will trigger user liquidations and potentially impact the entire DeFi market. In his ruling, Judge Garnett noted that Aave failed to adequately explain how user funds would incur "compound interest losses" if the restraining order was upheld. She also acknowledged the complexity of the case and the risks to victims, and asked the parties to provide additional statements on six key issues, including whether hacking transactions are subject to the New York State asylum doctrine, the legal distinction between fraud and theft and what rights the hacker has in the stolen assets, what law applies to determine the priority of claims to freeze assets, whether a presumptive trust is an appropriate remedy, and whether Aave or Arbitrum can identify individual victims and return assets proportionately. Both parties must submit supplementary opinions by May 22.
Meanwhile, Kelp DAO's overall payout efforts are advancing. Kelp and Aave announced on Tuesday that the rsETH held by the hacker has been burned on Arbitrum, and about $278 million of the lost tokens will be recovered through the funds of the Aave Recovery Guardian multi-signature wallet in the next two weeks.

Data: Bitcoin faces downside risk after hitting major bear market resistance
ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, CryptoQuant pointed out in a report that Bitcoin faces a pullback risk after hitting the 200-day EMA at $82,400. The agency said the 200-day EMA was a major resistance level during the 2022 bear market, and Bitcoin resumed its downtrend after hitting this level in March of that year.
The report noted that traders' unrealized profit margins reached 17.7% on May 5, the highest level since June last year, indicating potential selling pressure for profit-taking. Daily realized profits jumped to their highest level since early December last week, with traders cashing out 14,600 Bitcoins (worth nearly $1.2 billion) on May 4. CryptoQuant says that peaks in this magnitude often signal local price tops during bear market rallies.
If Bitcoin falls, the current support level is around $70,000, which is the average price of all Bitcoin last traded and has historically been a key resistance-turned-support level in bear markets.

Trump Mobile: T1 phones will start shipping next week
Odaily Planet Daily News Trump Mobile announced that the T1 mobile phone will begin shipping next week. The T1 phone delivery date has been pushed back several times before, with limited customer support. The TRUMP token has fallen by nearly 90% cumulatively since its launch.

Solana previously repackaged the Osom OV-1 when it launched its first Saga phone. The actual appearance of the T1 phone is highly similar to the HTC U24 released in 2024. Neither HTC nor Trump Mobile gave a positive response to the actual manufacturer of the T1. Trump Mobile previously confirmed that the phone has completed final assembly in the United States, but the parts are from overseas.

Bank of Japan deliberation member Zeng Yi said that interest rate hikes should be raised as soon as possible
Odaily Planet Daily News The Bank of Japan deliberation committee member Zeng Yixing called for interest rates to be raised as soon as possible if there is no sign that the economy is in trouble; He pointed out that due to the impact of the war in Iran, inflation risks are showing more persistent characteristics. "If the statistics do not show clear signs of an economic downturn, I think it is better to raise interest rates as soon as possible," Zeng said. He said that while the rise in fuel prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East may be temporary, there is also a risk that it will accelerate Japan's "already rising" logistics costs. "There are concerns that these factors may not be temporary shocks, but represent more sustained trends that risk pushing prices higher," Zeng said. (Jin Shi)

Aave V4 plans to access Babylon to enable native BTC lending, freeing itself from the dependence on wrapped tokens
ChainCatcher news, Aave DAO has launched a governance proposal to establish a dedicated Bitcoin Spoke powered by the Babylon protocol in Aave V4, enabling users to borrow and borrow with native BTC as collateral without relying on wrapped BTC or centralized custody schemes.
The proposal, which has been posted on the Aave Governance Forum, seeks DAO approval to advance the integration and include Babylon's native BTC as collateral assets for the V4 lending protocol. The proposal states that Bitcoin is the largest crypto collateral base, but most on-chain BTC lending currently relies on wrapped BTC variants, custodial intermediaries, or fractionalized BTCfi platforms. The Aave V4 architecture will leverage Babylon's staking and validation infrastructure to provide a more direct native Bitcoin lending mechanism, integrating fragmented Bitcoin collateral lending into a unified protocol.
