After breaking above the critical 5% level for the first time since last July, the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds hovered around 5% again early this week—indicating that pressure on the world’s largest bond market has not eased. This is a significant threshold, and traders are closely watching for signs it may rise further. At the heart of this sell-off is market concern that a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz could fuel inflation and reduce the scope for interest-rate cuts. Additionally, massive corporate spending in the AI sector has raised concerns about a possible acceleration in near-term price increases. (Jin10)

According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Specter, the Wasabi Protocol attacker has deposited all stolen funds into Tornado Cash, moving approximately $5.9 million into Tornado Cash. Additionally, North Korean hacking groups have also used Tornado Cash to launder stolen funds from KelpDAO and LayerZero. Their process involved first cross-chaining the assets to Bitcoin, then routing them through Wasabi Mixer, extracting and cross-chaining back to Ethereum, depositing into Tornado Cash, subsequently withdrawing to new wallets and dispersing across multiple addresses. The new wallets then deployed tokens, used the stolen funds to buy in, removed liquidity from the deployment wallet, cross-chained to Tron (USDT), held for several hours or days, and finally sent to OTC-related wallets.

QCP Capital stated in its analysis that after a solid performance in April, Bitcoin continued its strong momentum in early May, breaking through the $80,000 mark for the first time since January 31.
