Kelp DAO has announced plans to migrate its cross-chain infrastructure to Chainlink’s CCIP, while disputing claims that its own configuration caused the $300M exploit linked to LayerZero. In a detailed post published on 5 May, Kelp said the 18 April attack originated from vulnerabilities within LayerZero’s infrastructure, not from protocol-level misconfiguration as previously suggested.

A Bitcoin whale has sent all his $BTC holdings to Binance crypto exchange, a move that might be interpreted as capitulation. The Bitcoin whale had sent 1,102 $BTC, currently worth more than $74 millon to major crypto exchange Binance.

The whale had bought Bitcoin eight months ago (July 2025 by estimation), when Bitcoin was still trading above $100,000 ($117,770 precisely). The whale had bought in anticipation of a further price increase, with Bitcoin rising for four months straight from April to June 2025.…

US President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling him a “disaster for America” and saying interest rates remain too high. The remarks came alongside a social media post showing a figure resembling Powell falling into a dumpster. Trump has pushed for aggressive rate cuts, targeting levels near 1%. The Federal Reserve has kept its benchmark rate between 3.50% and 3.75%. This gap indicates a direct policy conflict.

Vitalik Buterin has delivered a verdict on consortium blockchains, calling them a failure of their original vision. Speaking during an Arbitrum Day session, Buterin argued that these private, enterprise-led chains combine the worst aspects of both centralized and decentralized systems. Instead of offering true openness or strong privacy, they often evolve into “cartel-like” structures, closed networks with limited transparency and weak trust guarantees. “The original vision of like consortium blockchains, right, had this idea that as you have like five banks or like five major companies come together, create their own chain, has been mostly a failure,” he said. No…
