Bit Digital Invests $20 million to Increase Holdings of 8,568 ETH, Bringing Total Holdings to Approximately 158,461.75 ETH

May 28: Scroll co-founder Sandy Peng argues in a new article that the quantum computing threat to Bitcoin isn’t a physical hurdle—it’s a governance and coordination challenge, not a technical one. A March whitepaper from Google Quantum AI estimates breaking Bitcoin’s secp256k1 elliptic curve with an optimized Shor’s algorithm would require roughly 1,200 logical qubits; that’s nearly 20 times fewer than projections from five years ago. IonQ’s official roadmap targets 1,600 logical qubits by 2028, while IBM plans to launch its 2,000-qubit Blue Jay system by 2033. This puts the quantum threat timeline at roughly a decade, possibly even shorter. Attacks will unfold in waves. The most vulnerable targets are early P2PK-formatted Bitcoin addresses, where public keys are permanently recorded on the blockchain. This includes over 1 million bitcoins mined by Satoshi Nakamoto in Bitcoin’s early days—funds that can’t be moved to secure them because the private key’s holder is unknown. Additionall

May 28: Federal Reserve President John Williams said it remains unclear how the recent surge in productivity will ultimately impact U.S. interest rates and the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions. When addressing how shifting trends in productivity growth will influence the broader economy and monetary policy, Williams’s response was straightforward: “it depends.” Specifically, the outcome hinges on two core factors: the inherent nature of the productivity change at play, and how long that shift is expected to persist. The remarks come amid a broader push by Fed officials to assess how two key developments—the recent spike in productivity, plus expectations for even larger productivity gains stemming from advances in artificial intelligence (AI)—will affect inflation and the labor market. Multiple Fed policymakers have expressed uncertainty about exactly how these dynamics will unfold in the months and years ahead.

May 28 — U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned companies and countries not to pay Iran overflight fees. The U.S. will cut off Iran’s access to services including landing rights and fuel via Iran Air, and also restrict Iran Air’s ticket sales. Regarding the Iran issue, Yellen emphasized that constructive dialogue will help end the vicious cycle, while the U.S. Treasury continues its economic pressure campaign against the Iranian regime. Sanctions have been imposed on Iran’s Persian Gulf Phosphates Company.

May 28: Standard Chartered’s Global Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoffrey Kendrick, published a report drawing a direct parallel between Ethereum’s current trajectory and Amazon in the aftermath of the 2001 dot-com bubble burst. He referenced Jeff Bezos’s well-known quote: “A stock is not the company, and the company is not the stock.” Kendrick’s analysis notes Ethereum has seen its price drop roughly 57% from its August 2025 peak to hover around $2,000, but stressed the network’s core on-chain metrics are nearing all-time highs—including transaction volume and ETH-based Total Value Locked (TVL). The gap between Ethereum’s fundamentals and its current price is unsustainable, he argues, meaning ETH will eventually align with improvements to its internal metrics. Kendrick reaffirmed price targets of $4,000 by the end of 2026 and $40,000 by the end of 2030. His bullish thesis for Ethereum centers on its dominant position in two fast-growing crypto segments: stablecoins and tokenized
