SK Hynix Responds to "Average Employee Bonus of 6.1 Million RMB": Unable to Predict at the Moment
A recent report, citing a forecast from international investment bank Macquarie Securities, notes that the average bonus for employees at South Korea’s SK Hynix could reach roughly 6.1 million yuan (≈129 million South Korean won) in 2027.
The bank projects SK Hynix’s operating profit will hit 44.7 trillion South Korean won that year. Using a simple calculation—10% of that operating profit as a bonus pool, divided by the company’s ~35,000 employees as of the end of last year—the total bonus pool would total ~4.47 trillion won, translating to an average of 129 million won per employee (equivalent to ~6.1 million yuan).
In response, SK Hynix clarified that since its 2024 and 2025 performance remains undetermined, the bonus scale cannot be predicted. The company added it has rolled out a new headquarters-level system: 10% of annual operating profit is earmarked for annual performance bonuses.

U.S. Court Approves Aave Transfer of $71 Million ETH Value in Connection with North Korean Hack
**On May 9, U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett approved Aave’s asset recovery plan following the rsETH exploit, clearing the transfer of ~$71 million in ETH—previously frozen on Arbitrum—to a wallet controlled by Aave.**
Court filings reveal the ruling adjusted the prior restraining order against Arbitrum DAO, enabling the community to complete the ETH transfer via an on-chain governance vote—while waiving legal liability for those voting and executing the transfer. The incident stemmed from the April rsETH exploit, widely linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group.
Earlier, lawyers representing victims of North Korean terrorism had pushed to freeze the assets and sought to include them in an ~$877 million outstanding judgment. The Arbitrum community showed overwhelming support in a Snapshot temperature check vote to return the frozen ETH to Aave’s recovery plan, though formal on-chain governance approval is still required for the actual transfer. The case also forms part of U.S. pl

The US Spot Bitcoin ETF Sees Net Inflows for 6 Consecutive Weeks, Marking the Longest Streak in Nearly 9 Months
May 9
The U.S. Bitcoin Spot ETF has recorded net inflows for six consecutive weeks, marking the longest streak of continuous inflows since August 2025.
Data shows the ETF has posted total net inflows of roughly $3.4 billion since the week of April 2. Weekly inflows hit a peak of around $996 million in mid-April, while this past week saw net inflows of approximately $623 million. This marks the first stretch of sustained inflows since summer 2025, when the ETF drew roughly $7.57 billion in total.
However, fund flows showed signs of weakening in the latter half of last week. Thursday and Friday saw net outflows of $278 million and $146 million, respectively, partially eroding earlier gains. Analysts note the market is waiting on U.S. April nonfarm payrolls data to gauge the economic outlook and Federal Reserve policy path.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Ethereum Spot ETF broke its prior outflow streak, posting net inflows of roughly $70.49 million last week.

Ray Dalio's Pessimistic Prediction: We Will Enter a More Disorderly Era, the U.S. Could Be "Unrecognizable" Within Five Years
**Ray Dalio Warns of Unprecedented Turmoil in Next Five Years**
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio delivered a pessimistic forecast in a May 7 interview with The New York Times podcast *Sway*. He predicts the next five years could bring an unprecedented period of turmoil, driven by five converging forces unfolding simultaneously: monetary system dynamics, social division, shifts in the international order, climate change, and AI technology.
Dalio specifically highlighted AI’s dual impacts: on one hand, it will significantly boost productivity and help ease debt challenges; on the other, it will exacerbate wealth inequality, displace millions of jobs, and be deployed for destructive uses like cyberattacks. These shifts, he noted, could reshape the U.S. beyond recognition.
