On May 27, market data shows that driven by a pump signal from self-styled “IPO God” Serenity, XFAB opened on Euronext Paris with a roughly 10% gain today, and is currently trading at €9.88. BlockBeats previously reported that earlier today, Serenity — the so-called “IPO God” — disclosed a long position in semiconductor company XFAB, noting that its current $1.2 billion market capitalization is attractive. The key catalyst behind this is the upcoming EU Chip Act 2.0, which is expected to focus on supporting photonics sector firms, with XFAB highly likely to be included in the initiative once again. The company maintains close business ties with NVIDIA: in the silicon photonics field, through its “photonixFAB” project, XFAB is preparing for mass production of NVIDIA’s optical transceivers, optical switches, and other related products.

Trading volumes for altcoins have continued climbing across major exchanges, even outpacing activity for the top five market-cap mainstream tokens (including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana).

The upward momentum in altcoin trading volumes remains ongoing.

South Korean prosecutors filed charges in the first decentralized exchange (DEX) rug pull scam case tied to a Solana ecosystem meme coin under the country’s Virtual Assets User Protection Act, local authorities announced May 27. The probe centers on the CATFI token scheme: two key suspects were arrested and prosecuted for market manipulation, one additional individual faces non-detained charges, and two others are accused of aiding the main suspects in evading authorities.

The lead suspect, operating under the internet persona “Eth Father,” promoted CATFI via false positive news, purchased fake social media followers, and used multiple wallets to hoard token supply and run wash trading to obscure their control over the asset. CATFI’s price spiked 1,001 times within 26 hours of its launch, drawing roughly 6,000 investors. Ultimately,
