On May 10, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) announced plans to launch Bitcoin Volatility Futures on June 1—pending regulatory approval—expanding its U.S.-based derivatives exchange’s cryptocurrency offerings.

On May 10, Strategy CEO Phong Le stated the company will only sell Bitcoin under specific circumstances: paying a 11.5% dividend to STRC preferred shareholders, and pursuing tax deferral or optimization arrangements. The firm will evaluate whether selling Bitcoin or issuing stock better improves its "earnings per Bitcoin" metric, emphasizing BTC will only be sold if the transaction creates value for common shareholders. Previously, Michael Saylor noted the company may "sell some Bitcoin in the future to pay dividends," drawing market attention. As of now, Strategy holds 818,334 BTC—valued at over $66 billion. Phong Le believes the company’s ~$1 billion annual dividend payout will not materially impact Bitcoin’s market price, given the asset’s roughly $600 billion daily trading volume.

May 10th — According to analyst Tom Wan, multiple protocols with a combined total value locked (TVL) of roughly $20 billion have announced plans to migrate to Chainlink CCIP, despite LayerZero issuing an apology statement earlier. These include KelpDAO ($15B), SolvProtocol ($6B), and re ($2B). Meanwhile, top assets still using LayerZero’s OFT standard are: USDe/sUSDe (Ethena), weETH (Etherfi), USDT0 (Tether), thBILL (Theo), and WBTC (Bitgo). Specific migration timelines will be released by the projects at a later date. Earlier, LayerZero formally apologized for its inadequate communication during the security incident over the past three weeks. The firm acknowledged its internal RPC was compromised by the Lazarus Group and admitted it had mistakenly allowed LayerZero Labs DVN to serve as a 1/1 validation node for high-value transactions, creating a single point of failure.

It also held 756.1 million CRO tokens, carrying a cost basis of $113.9 million and a fair value of $53 million. Last year, TMTG completed its acquisition of CRO for $105 million.
