Anti-Aircraft Gun Shooting at Mosquito, Robot Exploits Million-Dollar Vulnerability to Swindle Vitalik for a Few Cents
May 8: The "JaredfromSubway" robot recently pulled off a minor MEV attack targeting Vitalik Buterin’s token swap.
Vitalik had aimed to exchange ~26,544 XDB tokens (worth ~$3.86) for ~$4.56 in ETH. But the bot used ~$1.14 million in WETH to execute large trades between SushiSwap and Uniswap V2 liquidity pools—manipulating XDB’s price and worsening slippage on Vitalik’s transaction.
The entire MEV attack involved ~$1 million in trading volume. Vitalik lost just a few cents, while the bot ended up with a tiny loss after deducting a $5.14 gas fee.
Ironically, Vitalik has long spoken out against "toxic MEV" and pushed for encrypted mempools as a fix in Ethereum’s 2026 roadmap. MEV has siphoned over $1.2 billion in user value, with sandwich attacks accounting for 51%—effectively imposing an invisible tax on regular users via the public mempool.
The JaredfromSubway bot has been a known sandwich-trading player since 2023, once making up 7% of Ethereum’s gas fees and accumulating ov

It's Hard to Cut Interest Rates Again This Year, Interest Rate Hikes Will Be Delayed If the Interest Rate Gap Widens, the Fed Has Entered a Policy Pause Period
May 8th – In Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, wider divergences of view often lead to longer periods of unchanged rates. At the recent April 2026 FOMC meeting, the Fed recorded its largest policy vote split since 1992: an 8-4 decision to hold the federal funds rate target range steady at 3.5%-3.75% — marking the third consecutive hold. One official backed an immediate 25-basis-point rate cut, while three others supported keeping rates unchanged but issued dovish dissents. Deep internal divisions persist among Fed policymakers over inflation risks, the labor market, and the level of the neutral interest rate.
As Fed members’ economic outlooks diverge further, reaching consensus on rate adjustments grows harder — creating "inertia" that keeps policy at current levels longer to wait for more data to resolve uncertainty. With the federal funds rate near the neutral range, this split signals a higher likelihood of rates staying unchanged for an extended period, rather than a quick

JPMorgan: Bitcoin Buying Scale by Strategists This Year Could Reach $30 Billion
May 8 — JPMorgan Chase said Wednesday that its Bitcoin Strategy could hit roughly $30 billion in annual purchases this year, based on the current pace of buys, topping the approximately $22 billion levels seen in 2024 and 2025.
The strategy has already added 145,834 bitcoins so far this year, valued at around $11 billion. Most of those purchases occurred when Bitcoin’s price was below the strategy’s average entry price of roughly $75,000. JPMorgan also noted the strategy’s premium to net asset value (NAV) has widened to about 26% over the past two months, which has helped it expand holdings via equity and debt financing.
