The Aave protocol has revised its asset listing standards following the April incident involving rsETH, which threatened the project with a potential bad debt of hundreds of millions of dollars. https://t.co/ixfuSrVKA8— Aave (@aave) May 31, 2026 The incident was caused by a verification failure in the LayerZero bridge used by the Kelp project, rather than a vulnerability in the lending platform's smart contracts. An attacker exploited a configuration error in one of the verifiers to forge a cross-chain message and issue 116,500 unsecured rsETH tokens ($293 million). The assets were deposited into Aave as collateral. Since rsETH was in eMode with a high LTV (93%), the attacker borrowed liquid assets that the protocol would not be able to recover after rsETH devaluation. The new framework for versions V3, V4, and Horizon expands risk assessment criteria. In addition to volatility and liquidity, Aave will now consider: the reliability of bridge infrastructure and the number of token wrapping layers; dependencies on external oracles and custodians; technical architecture (compliance with ERC-20, admin rights, and code upgradeability); operational security of the asset issuer. The team also proposed implementing automated protective mechanisms. These would allow the LTV of an asset to be instantly reset upon reaching critical risk thresholds, without waiting for governance decisions. Risk managers have already made around 295 adjustments to the parameters of V3 markets, including reducing supply and borrowing limits to minimize the impact of similar incidents.  Auditors from OpenZeppelin confirmed that the incident resulted from miscalculations in infrastructure configuration and risk management, rather than bugs in Aave or Kelp's code. On May 25, Kelp restored rsETH collateral, with the team sending a final tranche of 20,373 rsETH to the LayerZero smart contract.

Nvidia has introduced the Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot, a research reference design for developing and testing humanoid robot skills. The configuration includes a Unitree H2 Plus body and Sharpa Wave tactile five-fingered hands, according to the press release. The computational component is powered by Jetson Thor and Isaac GR00T software. In the basic configuration: A Unitree H2 Plus chassis standing about 183 cm tall and weighing 68 kg; 31 degrees of freedom in the body; Two Sharpa Wave hands with 22 degrees of freedom; A total of 75 degrees of freedom across the body and arms; A stereo camera on the head, cameras on the wrists, and an inertial module. According to media reports, the hands are designed to handle loads of up to 7 kg in operational mode and up to 15 kg at peak. This is not a mass-produced industrial robot but a standardized research system. Nvidia is focusing on unification: a single platform for hardware integration, data collection, simulation, training, and skill transfer to a real machine. Among the first users are Ai2, ETH Zurich, Stanford Robotics Center, and the Advanced Robotics and Controls Laboratory at UC San Diego. The platform is also used in Nvidia's internal research. Focus on Security Nvidia integrates Blackwell chips so that subsystem updates pass through the company's computational module with code authentication. The same mechanisms used in Nvidia's server infrastructure are employed. The company plans to scale the project in collaboration with humanoid manufacturers from the US, Europe, and South Korea, but does not disclose partner names. In May, Unitree introduced the "world's first ready-for-mass-production" piloted robot. The android can move on both two and four limbs. Earlier, Japan Airlines, in collaboration with GMO AI & Robotics, launched trials of humanoid robots for ground operations at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

Citi analysts anticipate that the market for tokenized securities will grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030, according to a report by CoinDesk referencing the bank's report Tokenization 2030: Wall Street On-Chain. Currently, the segment is valued at approximately $17 billion. Citi's base scenario projects a range of $2.7-8.2 trillion, depending on the pace of adoption. The bank estimates that by 2030, 10% of short-term U.S. Treasury securities and 3% of the U.S. public equity market could transition to blockchain. Citi believes stablecoins could generate additional demand for U.S. government bonds up to $1 trillion. Previously, the bank had issued more cautious forecasts. In the report Money, Tokens, and Games, it was projected that $4 trillion of tokenized financial and real assets would be in private markets by 2030. Separately, analysts estimated the market for tokenized stocks at $4-5 trillion and around $1 trillion in trade finance and collateral segments. Citi is already testing the infrastructure. In November 2024, the bank, along with Fidelity International, launched a pilot with a tokenized money market fund and a digital currency swap. At that time, Citi forecasted the segment to grow to $400 billion by 2030. In May, it was revealed that the U.S. is preparing a regulatory framework for trading tokenized securities. In November 2025, the IOSCO stated that RWA creates new vulnerabilities, despite its potential to transform the issuance and trading of financial assets. In May, the market capitalization of tokenized U.S. government bonds on Ethereum reached a record $8 billion.

Nvidia has introduced RTX Spark, a chip designed for Windows PCs, focusing on running AI agents and large language models locally. The project was developed in collaboration with Microsoft over approximately three years. Create, build, and play: https://t.co/jYkBa10Mq8— NVIDIA (@nvidia) June 1, 2026 The company positions RTX Spark as the foundation for personal AI systems operating directly on the computer without mandatory cloud access. The declared performance is up to 1 petaflop of computing power and up to 128 GB of unified memory. Nvidia anticipates that users will be able to run agent-based and generative models directly on their PCs. The chip is built on the Blackwell RTX GPU with 6144 CUDA cores and a 20-core Grace processor. MediaTek participated in the CPU's development. The platform is targeted at Windows 11 and scenarios involving AI agents, content creation, and gaming. Microsoft Joins the Agent-Based Windows Initiative Nvidia and Microsoft have announced a joint effort to develop infrastructure for agent-based systems within Windows. The release mentions new security mechanisms and the NVIDIA OpenShell platform for running agents on user devices. This involves preparing Windows for such scenarios rather than a full transition of the OS to an agent-based model. Microsoft is already advancing in this area through Copilot and enterprise products, where assistants automate workflows. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described this as a shift from "PC as a tool" to "PC as an assistant." Essentially, this marks the launch of a new hardware platform for local AI. Adobe Optimizes Photoshop and Premiere Adobe is adapting Photoshop and Premiere for RTX Spark. Nvidia has claimed a twofold increase in AI and graphics performance on the new platform. Independent confirmations of these figures are not available. In May, Adobe added an on-device model for the Remove tool in Photoshop 27.7, allowing objects to be removed without sending data to the cloud. Users can choose between local and cloud processing. For Premiere, the company introduced AI features, including Object Mask, but has not announced a complete transition of the video editor to local AI. Release Set for Fall 2026 The first PCs based on RTX Spark will be released in fall 2026. Partners include ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, and MSI. Acer and GIGABYTE will join later. Nvidia is strengthening its focus on the AI-PC segment, where AI agents, data analysis, and content generation are performed locally without constant cloud dependency. Back in March, the company announced the launch of infrastructure for creating data centers in space.

Between May 25 and 29, investment products based on digital assets experienced an outflow of $1.67 billion. According to a report by CoinShares, this negative trend has persisted for the third consecutive week. Weekly inflow dynamics in crypto funds. Source: CoinShares. The total amount withdrawn over the past three weeks has reached $4.21 billion. The current outflow is the second largest in 2026. Assets under management fell from $148 billion to $141 billion, marking the lowest level since early April. The primary impact was on the leading cryptocurrency: investors withdrew $1.43 billion from its instruments. This marks the largest weekly outflow for the coin this year. The annual inflow into Bitcoin products decreased to $1.2 billion from $3.9 billion two weeks earlier. Weekly capital allocation by assets. Source: CoinShares. Ethereum funds lost $257 million. Interest in altcoins also declined: only five assets showed inflows of more than $1 million. Among them: XRP ($20.3 million), Hyperliquid ($10.8 million), and NEAR ($7.6 million). The US was the regional leader in outflows with $1.63 billion. Sales were also recorded in Germany ($25.7 million), Sweden ($6.6 million), and Hong Kong ($4.5 million). Weekly capital allocation by regions. Source: CoinShares. Strategy Shift In 2026, cryptocurrency hedge funds faced declining returns amid Bitcoin stagnation and reduced activity in the DeFi sector. Experts noted an increasing gap in the market between profitable managers and those unable to adapt to new conditions. This year, passive holding of major crypto assets ceased to be profitable. Success was achieved only by funds with diversified portfolios. For instance, Digital Asset Capital Management highlighted tokens like Hyperliquid, Morpho, and Zcash as key growth drivers. Researcher Amir Hadjian from Keyrock emphasized that the crypto industry is undergoing a period of "maturation." Capital is flowing into projects with real products and revenue, while weaker assets lose support. According to his data, 85% of tokens launched in 2025 are trading below their opening price. Institutional investors have become more attentive to fund structures, risk management methods, and governance mechanisms. Instead of buying altcoins, they are opting for: market-neutral strategies (arbitrage, yield in DeFi); on-chain storage and custodial services; tokenized treasury products and RWA. According to Crypto Insights Group, market-neutral strategies have grown by 2.15% since the beginning of the year, while directional funds have lost 5.4%. The industry anticipates a wave of consolidation. About 78% of crypto funds manage less than $50 million. Without a bullish trend, such structures will not be able to cover operational costs through fees. Analysts predict that within a year, the number of active funds will decrease, while the average capital under management of the remaining players will increase. Smaller firms will either be absorbed by larger companies or exit the market due to growing competition with ETF. Earlier in May, crypto-based investment funds recorded an outflow of $1.47 billion.
