On May 27, Serenity, a highly influential senior trader on Reddit’s WallStreetBets (WSB), took to social media to reveal they had established a position in semiconductor company XFAB. The WSB standout flagged XFAB’s $12.8 billion current market cap as attractive and laid out their core reasoning behind the call. Serenity’s key catalyst? The upcoming rollout of the EU’s Chip Act 2.0 this week, which is expected to prioritize support for photonics firms. XFAB already benefited from the original Chip Act, and Serenity believes it’s poised to be included again this time around. The trader emphasized XFAB’s deep integration with NVIDIA across two high-growth sectors: silicon photonics/CPO and power semiconductors. For silicon photonics, XFAB is gearing up for mass production of NVIDIA’s photonics evaluative transceivers, optical switches, and other products via its “photonixFAB” project—a partnership Serenity says the market is likely overlooking. In power semiconductors, XFAB operates as

May 27th: According to data from Coinglass, Coinbase’s Bitcoin Premium Index has remained in negative territory for six consecutive days, standing at -0.1644% as of press time.

May 27: Manuel Aráoz, co-founder of crypto security firm OpenZeppelin, posted on social media that he now believes the entire DeFi sector is insecure. He has begun advising friends and family to exit all their DeFi positions—even supposedly low-risk positions in blue-chip protocols like Aave, MakerDAO, and Compound. Aráoz pointed out the asymmetric dynamic between attackers and defenders in security incidents: “Auditors are far better at finding vulnerabilities, but smart contract security is too lopsided. Defenders have to fix every single bug, while attackers only need to find one to steal funds.” His comments reflect heightened market concern over DeFi security after a string of major incidents in recent months. Data shows April saw nearly $630 million hacked from DeFi protocols, making it the worst month since the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025. April’s exploits, including Drift’s $285 million loss and Kelp DAO’s $293 million loss, are widely tied to North Korean govern
