PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter). Investment firm Coatue has projected a significant increase in memory demand, anticipating a fivefold growth over the next five years. This shift is attributed to the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), where the bottleneck is moving from computational power to memory capacity.

In recent years, AI development has been heavily reliant on computational power and GPUs. However, as AI progresses from simple chatbots to autonomous agents, the narrative is changing. Current chatbots operate without memory, starting each conversation anew. In contrast, future AI agents are expected to possess long-term memory, operate continuously, and perform tasks proactively.

The fundamental difference between agents and chatbots lies in memory capabilities. Key components include HBM (working memory on GPUs), DRAM (temporary storage), and long-term storage, all of which must work in tandem within milliseconds for true autonomy.

Coatue's forecast aligns with Nvidia's roadmap, which indicates a tenfold increase in single GPU memory over seven years. In summary, the development of a robust memory layer is crucial for the emergence of truly autonomous AI agents.

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to launch a Spark (SPK) Trading Tournament, offering eligible users a chance to share a total prize pool of 8,000,000 SPK in token vouchers. The tournament will run from 2026-05-12 10:00 (UTC) to 2026-05-26 10:00 (UTC). An 'Early Bird Boost' multiplier will be introduced to reward users who trade earlier in the promotion period.

The reward structure is based on cumulative trading volume rankings. The top participant will receive 400,000 SPK, while the second and third places will receive 320,000 SPK and 240,000 SPK, respectively. Participants ranked from 6th to 20th will share 720,000 SPK equally, and those from 21st to 50th will share 640,000 SPK.

Morgan Stanley's Global Macro Strategist, Matt Hornbach, anticipates that the U.S. inflation data for April will be notably 'hot.' According to Jin10, this data is the first in a series of reports that will ultimately contribute to the Federal Reserve's key inflation measure, the core PCE price index. Hornbach noted that historically, companies have not always passed inflationary pressures onto consumers. This situation is similar to when the U.S. government imposed tariffs, and consumer prices did not rise as sharply as expected. Currently, companies are facing significant pressures from rising energy costs and AI infrastructure development expenses. However, it remains uncertain whether businesses can fully transfer these costs to consumers. As a result, Morgan Stanley still forecasts that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates unchanged this year.

Ethereum (ETH) whales have capitalized on a recent price dip, purchasing $832 million worth of ETH as the cryptocurrency's price fell 3.6% since May 10, according to BeInCrypto. This accumulation occurred as ETH traded within a descending channel since April 17. Despite the price decline, whale wallets increased their holdings by 360,000 ETH, signaling confidence in the market's resilience. Meanwhile, Ethereum's derivatives market shows a decrease in open interest, suggesting that the recent rally was driven by short-covering rather than new long positions. Long-term holders, however, have reduced their accumulation by nearly 80% since late April, indicating caution amid elevated funding rates. Ethereum currently trades at $2,311, with key support levels at $2,298 and $2,269.

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to introduce the next phase of its "Binance Learn & Earn" initiative.

The activity is scheduled to run from 2026-05-12 09:00 (UTC) to 2026-05-26 09:00 (UTC).

Participation in this round is exclusive to verified new users who have not previously subscribed to Simple Earn Locked Products before the specified start date.

Users can begin engaging with educational materials, including articles and videos, and complete quizzes as long as token supplies last. Each Learn & Earn session can only be completed once, and users are limited to one reward per session.

The ESP rewards will be automatically locked in Simple Earn Locked Products for a duration of 150 days, offering an annual percentage rate (APR) of 10%. Users will not be able to participate once all rewards have been distributed. Binance emphasizes that the actual value of the rewards may fluctuate due to market conditions. At the end of the subscription period, Binance Simple Earn will transition the locked assets to Simple Earn Flexible Products.

Binance reserves the right to terminate the activity without prior notice and disqualify participants who violate the program's terms. The platform also retains the right to modify the terms and conditions at its discretion. Users are encouraged to stay informed about new projects and opportunities to earn additional crypto rewards through the Learn & Earn program.

A sophisticated npm worm named 'Mini Shai-Hulud' is spreading through well-known developer projects such as TanStack, UiPath, and DraftLab, according to ChainCatcher. The threat monitoring system MistEye, operated by blockchain security firm SlowMist, detected the worm. Attackers are hijacking GitHub credentials to release malicious software packages disguised as legitimate updates. These packages contain a hidden script, router_init.js, which runs silently in CI/CD environments like GitHub Actions. The worm is designed to steal CI/CD keys, cloud infrastructure keys, and cryptocurrency wallet information, using GitHub's infrastructure for data exfiltration.

SlowMist has shared the threat intelligence with its clients, advising projects using the affected packages to check their CI/CD pipelines for the presence of the router_init.js file. They recommend rotating all exposed GitHub, cloud service, and cryptocurrency credentials and continuously monitoring for unusual background activities in the development environment.

Bitcoin's bull-bear cycle indicator has signaled an 'early bull market' for the first time since March 2023, according to ChainCatcher. Historically, this signal has indicated the end of the worst adjustment phases and the beginning of market recovery, as seen in 2019 and early 2023. However, an exception occurred in March 2022 when the indicator entered the early bull market zone but was followed by a price rejection, marking a local top rather than a new bull market.

As of May 2026, analysts suggest that Bitcoin no longer behaves as a deep bear market asset, with the recovery of the 30-day moving average indicating improving market momentum. Despite this, several other market indicators show signs of weakness, making the current signal less definitive than classic early cycle confirmations. Analysts lean towards the possibility of a local top rather than the start of a new bull market, unless subsequent price movements strongly confirm this trend.

Bitcoin's retail demand has shown signs of recovery, according to Axel Adler Jr. On May 12, the 30-day retail demand change for Bitcoin increased to +4.38%, up from -8.2% on April 5.

According to NS3.AI, Adler noted that transaction volumes for amounts under $10,000 increased slightly from $336 million to $351 million. However, these figures remain below the $365 million to $375 million range observed in February and March.
