OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed skepticism that the advancement of artificial intelligence will lead to a global "job apocalypse." This was reported by Reuters. According to him, AI has not yet caused the large-scale reduction in office jobs that he himself anticipated following the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. "I'm glad I was wrong. It seemed that by now the impact on entry-level office positions would be greater," the entrepreneur said at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia conference in Sydney. The CEO stated that the company "roughly accurately" assessed the technological development of LLM, but erred in predicting its immediate social and economic consequences. Altman noted that he previously considered the risk of mass automation to be real and therefore spoke about it publicly. He mentioned that such a threat might still exist, but the situation now appears different. He explained this by noting that many professions retain a "human element" that is difficult to replace with algorithms. As an example, Altman shared that he tried using AI for responses in Slack and email but then returned to personal communication. "We truly value interaction with people," he stated. In Altman's view, this experience has altered his perception of the future labor market. He believes that the employment landscape will be "quite different" from what many industry participants expected. However, layoffs due to artificial intelligence are still occurring. In April, Oracle began cutting thousands of employees amid falling stock prices and significant capital expenditures on AI infrastructure development. In February, Block CEO Jack Dorsey announced the layoff of nearly 4,000 employees. The decision was linked to the company's transition to a "more compact, flat, and AI-focused" structure. Earlier in May, China banned layoffs due to AI.

The Kelp protocol has restored the collateral for the rsETH token five weeks after the hack. The team sent the final tranche of 20,373 rsETH to the LayerZero smart contract. The final tranche of 20,373.72 rsETH has been sent to the rsETH OFT adapter earlier today. This closes the operational part of the rsETH recovery plan.Tx: https://t.co/fB2HLWvggk— Kelp (@KelpDAO) May 25, 2026 The $293 million incident triggered a liquidity crisis in the DeFi sector. The perpetrators used the stolen 116,500 rsETH as collateral on the Aave platform to obtain loans. This resulted in $190 million of "bad debt" and a massive outflow of funds from the lending protocol. Funds for the recovery were gathered by Kelp with the support of the DeFi United initiative. Other crypto projects also participated in the plan's implementation. The first tranche of 25,000 rsETH was received on May 13, allowing the resumption of cross-chain bridges between the Ethereum mainnet and L2 solutions. The following day, developers reopened withdrawals. Burning and reward accruals are operating normally. The Kelp hack contributed to the decline in the total value locked in the Aave protocol, which fell from $26.3 billion to $17.7 billion. In April, a record number of hacks in the crypto industry was recorded for a single month. More than 20 incidents resulted in $651 million in damages. In May, hacking attacks targeted Ekubo, TrustedVolumes, THORChain, Verus, Echo, and Map Protocol.

Strategy has completed the repurchase of $1.5 billion of its 2029 Convertible Notes at an ~8% discount to par, generating an incremental 0.7% BTC Yield and lowering aggregate debt to $6.7 billion. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/cbx4BlpsKV— Michael Saylor (@saylor) May 26, 2026 As a result of this financial operation, the company's total debt has been reduced to $6.7 billion. The yield on bitcoin assets per share increased by 0.7%. Since the beginning of the year, this indicator has reached 13.3%. In the week ending May 25, Strategy did not purchase any cryptocurrency. The company holds 843,738 BTC on its balance sheet. The total value of the accumulated digital assets is approximately $63.87 billion. The average purchase price of one bitcoin for the company over the entire period was about $75,700. The company's founder, Michael Saylor, noted that the flexible capital structure allows for balance sheet optimization depending on market conditions. The firm's liquid reserve in US dollars currently amounts to $871 million, and management plans to replenish it in the future.  Bitcoin Treasuries Last week, small public companies acquired 602.6 BTC worth approximately $46 million:  Strive purchased 381.6 BTC; DDC Enterprise Limited — 200 BTC; The Smarter Web Company — 19 BTC; Hyperscale Data — 2 BTC. The firms made these purchases when the price of bitcoin fell below $80,000. For instance, Strive acquired the asset at an average price of $79,348, while DDC paid $79,496.  The activity of small businesses coincided with an outflow of funds from spot exchange-traded funds based on the leading cryptocurrency. Over six trading days, $1.54 billion was withdrawn from these instruments. Analysts at Santiment described this as a "counter-indicator," noting that ETF investors' behavior often reflects retail sentiment rather than "smart money." Currently, bitcoin treasuries include 198 public companies. They hold 1.24 million BTC — nearly 6% of the total market supply of the asset. Source: BitcoinTreasuries.

The US Senate Federal Credit Union (USSFCU), with assets valued at approximately $1.53 billion, is transitioning its banking core and payments to the centralized platform Thought Machine. USSFCU serves not only the Senate but also over 100 other agencies, including the Capitol Police, the Supreme Court, and the Government Accountability Office. The Union's portfolio includes retail and business accounts, mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and products for non-profit organizations. The credit union will abandon outdated batch systems in favor of real-time architecture. Operations and payments will be consolidated into a single system, processing transactions within milliseconds inside the banking framework. The first phase involves migrating ACH and Fedwire. Subsequently, card products will be transferred, and the FedNow system with 24/7 settlements will be integrated. Thought Machine refers to its product configuration mechanism as "smart contracts." The platform allows for the setting of account logic, fees, and limits within the core without altering the base code. Thought Machine itself is a British developer of cloud platforms for modernizing banking and payments. The platform is used to launch current accounts, credit cards, loans, and mortgages, with over 200 ready-made product templates available. Deployment occurs in the cloud or via the SaaS model. In May, Standard Chartered bank agreed to acquire the digital asset custody company Zodia Custody.
