The bitcoin mining company Hut 8 has secured a lease agreement for the Beacon Point campus in Texas valued at $9.8 billion. The firm's shares rose by more than 35%. Source: Google Finance. The tenant, whose name remains undisclosed, will utilize Hut 8's facilities to train neural networks based on NVIDIA architecture. Should the partner exercise all available extension options, the total contract value could exceed $25 billion. Hut 8's CEO, Asher Genut, noted that the company is transforming from a miner into an energy infrastructure platform, with access to electricity becoming a key competitive advantage in the tech industry.  In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported a net loss of $253 million, compared to $134 million the previous year. Revenue increased to $71 million, driven almost entirely by computing services. By the end of the quarter, Hut 8 held cash and bitcoins worth $1.3 billion. Capacity Expansion Another major player, Core Scientific, has acquired competitor Polaris DS LLC from Oklahoma for $421 million. The deal will provide the buyer with access to 440 MW of capacity. The company will direct these new resources towards developing artificial intelligence infrastructure. The 40-acre Polaris facility is located near Core Scientific's existing data center in Muskogee. The transaction is set to close in the third quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approval. Following the news, Core Scientific's shares (CORZ) rose by 11% to $24.63. Source: Google Finance. Company head Adam Sullivan stated that the acquisition will help scale capacity to the gigawatt level. Core Scientific is constructing a new 82.5 MW facility in Muskogee. The project's goal is to increase the campus's total capacity to 1 GW for AI leasing needs. American Bitcoin's Results Hut 8-affiliated company American Bitcoin (ABTC), co-founded by Eric Trump, has released its financial report for the first quarter of 2026. The net loss amounted to $81.8 million, compared to $59.5 million in the previous period. Mining revenue fell to $62.1 million. The primary cause of the losses was the impairment of digital assets by $117.2 million due to a 22% drop in bitcoin prices. Operating expenses reached $150.7 million. CEO Mike Ho described the loss as "paper": according to him, excluding asset revaluation, the core business remains profitable. The company did not sell any coins during the quarter. Key metrics: 817 BTC mined (a company record); 803 BTC purchased for reserves; Total assets increased to 7021 BTC; "Satoshis per share" rose by 20%. The cost of mining one bitcoin decreased by 23% to $36,200. The company increased production volumes while maintaining fixed costs and controlling electricity expenses. The mining gross margin remained above 50%. ABTC shares responded to the report with a 1.63% increase to $1.25. Source: Google Finance. In May, the American startup Panthalassa, which is developing autonomous floating data centers powered by wave energy, raised $140 million at a valuation of around $1 billion. 

The Open Network (TON) blockchain leads in transaction finalization speed, achieving this in less than one second, according to Telegram founder Pavel Durov. The comparison was conducted in April 2026 among leading L1 networks ranked by CoinMarketCap. Second-layer solutions and specialized trading blockchains like HyperEVM by Hyperliquid were not included in the sample. Finalizing a block in TON takes approximately 0.6 seconds. For Avalanche, it is about one second, BNB takes roughly 1.125 seconds. Hedera requires 2-3 seconds, XRP Ledger 3-5 seconds, Ethereum about two epochs, and Bitcoin nearly six confirmations (approximately one hour). TON Rally In the past 24 hours, Toncoin has risen by 20.7%, and over the week, it has increased by more than 102%. At the time of writing, the asset is trading around $2.6 — the highest level since July 2025. Hourly chart of TON/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. The coin's market capitalization exceeded $7 billion, bringing TON back into the top 20 largest digital assets. The rise of Toncoin was supported by news from The Open Network ecosystem. In April, developers activated the Catchain 2.0 update, which reduced fees "almost to zero." Later, Durov announced that Telegram would become the main developer and largest validator of the network. Santiment analysts recorded that on May 5, TON was mentioned 91 times on social media in four hours — about six times more than usual. This level of activity persisted for several hours. TON is up ~69% after Pavel Durov announced Telegram will replace the TON Foundation, become the largest validator, and cut fees ~6x (Santiment MCP + Claude):📈 Price: $1.30 (May 3) → $2.20 (now).📊 Social mentions hit 91 in a single 4h window on May 5 — roughly 6x baseline,… pic.twitter.com/R3Ul3GLWcb— Santiment Intelligence (@SantimentData) May 6, 2026 According to them, the asset attracted attention amid the reorganization. Experts pointed out a contradiction: the freezing of Arbitrum stolen funds from Kelp caused a trust crisis, while the centralized support of TON by Telegram was perceived by the market as a positive signal. "Same model, opposite reaction. Is context more important than ideology?" wrote Santiment. Altseason? The rapid growth is also shown by the anonymous cryptocurrency Zcash — since the beginning of May, the asset has risen by 70%. On May 6, the coin's price rose above $585 for the first time since November 2025. At the time of writing, ZEC is trading around $565 (-1% for the day). Hourly chart of ZEC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Last week, another private token — Dash — showed similar dynamics: quotes rose by almost 60% to $52.1.

Community approval was required for their liquidation: over 90% of users supported the decision. Thanks to the 1,600+ addresses representing over 190 million ARB tokens who have voted on unfreezing the ETH related to the April 18 rsETH incident, currently held by the Arbitrum DAO.Reaching quorum with a strong show of approval from delegates and the Arbitrum community is a… pic.twitter.com/mhIHH7iZ89— Aave (@aave) May 6, 2026 The DAO temporarily altered the rsETH oracle price to create a shortfall in the attacker's position, and after the procedure was completed, parameters were returned to their original values. The Battle for 30,000 ETH At the time of publication, the DeFi United initiative had attracted over $320 million from industry participants and users. The largest contribution came from the L2 network Arbitrum, which froze 30,766 ETH following the attack. In early May, the project's DAO initiated a vote on transferring these funds to the fund. This move is supported by 90.5% of the community. Source: snapshot.org. The final decision was expected on May 7, but a New York court prohibited Arbitrum from disposing of the frozen coins. They are claimed by victims of North Korean terrorists, affected during the 2015 abductions. Aave called the court's logic legally unsound and demanded the lifting of restrictions. The plaintiffs' lawyers questioned the project's right to challenge the freeze. Earlier on May 7, hackers attacked market maker TrustedVolumes and stole $6 million.
