May 9: Influential KOL Han Ba addressed the sat1 pump-and-dump incident in an X post, noting: - He only participated as a trader and has no ties to the sat1 token project itself. - sat1’s pump was only discussed in one group; other groups amplified it by sharing the message, with the goal of generating liquidity. - The pump was intended to outperform sato and drive mutual gains for sat1 holders, but he underestimated primary market competition and failed to build a unified front. - His current sat1 holdings are nearly break-even: he paid 565 ETH for them, and they’re now worth 543 ETH. He outlined his response to the incident: - Immediately sell all his sat1 holdings. - Use the ETH from the sale to compensate users who lost money. - Stop defending his own profit/loss status. - Exit the crypto space once the matter is resolved. Per GMGN Market data, sat1’s market cap is $1.2 million as of press time, down from a previous peak of $8.4 million.

May 9: Markets are fully focused on tonight’s U.S. April nonfarm payrolls report. Consensus estimates call for 62,000 new jobs added—well below the prior 178,000 reading, signaling a gradual cool-down in the U.S. labor market. However, the latest ADP employment report showed 109,000 jobs added, beating expectations, prompting markets to reassess whether labor conditions remain more resilient than anticipated. At this point, the market’s top focus is no longer whether the economy will enter an immediate recession, but if the current “low hiring, low layoffs” dynamic can persist. If unemployment stays low and wage growth remains sticky, the Federal Reserve will have more flexibility to keep interest rates higher for longer. Recent comments from Fed officials including Hammack and Collins have continued to signal support for holding rates steady. On the geopolitical front: While the U.S. and Iran have seen renewed clashes near the Strait of Hormuz, both sides are still leaving room

May 9 — Bank of America’s latest forecast projects the Federal Reserve will hold off on interest rate cuts until the second half of 2027, citing persistent high inflation and robust job growth as key drivers. BofA’s Global Research team had previously predicted rate cuts in September and October of this year, hinging on the assumption that former President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair would usher in a more dovish monetary policy stance. But as economic conditions have shifted, that outlook has changed. BofA economists now note: “We no longer expect the Fed to cut rates at all this year.” They also highlight that several economic headwinds — including the Iran conflict, tariffs, and the rise of artificial intelligence — have made forecasting rate moves increasingly challenging. Notably, larger divergences in Fed rate decisions typically lead to longer stretches of unchanged policy. At the Fed’s latest FOMC meeting in April 2026, an 8-4

**Singaporean Ex-Navy Diver Sentenced for $1.7M Crypto Theft** Singaporean former elite naval diver Captain Zhang Rongxuan has been sentenced to six years and 10 months in prison for stealing 1.7 million USDT from a crypto cold wallet, court records confirm. The incident unfolded on May 9: Zhang obtained an access card during a friend gathering, then snuck into the victim’s apartment while the victim was out. He covertly photographed the victim’s cold wallet seed phrase—key to accessing crypto funds—and made off with the 1.7 million USDT. Zhang used the stolen funds to buy luxury watches, gamble, repay his mortgage, and purchase shares in an NFT platform he co-founded with the victim (where he served as CEO). He pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including offenses under Singapore’s Computer Misuse Act and money laundering. A Singapore National Court judge handed down the sentence. Police recovered partial stolen assets, but Zhang did not substantially compensate the vi
