Alphabet Seeks to Raise $80B for AI Infrastructure
Google parent Alphabet plans to raise up to $80 billion in equity to fund AI infrastructure and global compute, citing customer demand that exceeds available supply. The structure combines a $30 billion underwritten public offering, a $40 billion at-the-market program, and a $10 billion private placement to Berkshire Hathaway.
The raise is a unique move for Alphabet that historically funded itself through cash flow and bond issuance. It signals that AI infrastructure funding requirements outgrown conventional financing channels, with Alphabet guiding 2026 capital expenditure to $180B-$190B.
Robinhood has completed $180M WonderFi acquisition

Robinhood will invite Bitbuy and Coinsquare users to migrate to the Robinhood app, which will offer crypto trading with a flat 0.5% fee on CAD-denominated trades.
BitFi Launches BFI Public Sale via Sonar by Echo
The public sale will offer 1% of the total supply (10M BFI) at a fixed price of $0.05, implying a $50M FDV aligned with the seed round valuation. The raise target is $500K, with contributions accepted in USDC on Ethereum.
Registration runs from June 1–7, followed by the sale window from June 8–12, settlement on June 13–14, and refunds on June 15–16. Participants must complete KYC via Sonar by Echo before joining.

The filing, made under Form S-1, allows the company to move forward with a proposed initial public offering of its common stock once the SEC completes its review. The timing, share count, and pricing have not yet been disclosed, with the final decision depending on market conditions.
Gnosis Investigates Active Exploit Affecting Gnosis Pay Users
Gnosis co-founder and CEO Martin Koppelmann confirmed an active exploit involving Gnosis Pay, tied to the Zodiac “delay module.” He said Gnosis is working to contain the incident and will cover all user losses.
According to Koppelmann, the attacker can initiate transactions from Safe wallets that have the delay module enabled. As part of the response, Gnosis is asking bridge validators to pause to help limit further damage.
LAB Accused of CEX Manipulation as Market Cap Hits $5.7B
LAB is back in the spotlight after an onchain investigation alleged continued CEX price support via coordinated market-making, with the token pushed to ~$5.7B market cap (~$14B FDV) and a top-22 ranking.
Key red flags cited include opaque token distribution (different floats reported across major trackers), unilateral vesting changes, and repeated private OTC/loan deals at steep discounts that create hidden future supply. The ZachXBT estimates insiders may control >95% of supply, meaning price can be “managed” until unlocks/OTC cliffs hit.
Gravity Bridge Loses $5.4M in Suspected Key Compromise
Gravity Bridge was drained of ~$5.4M early Saturday after an attacker pushed unauthorized withdrawals through the bridge’s signing layer. The team halted operations while investigating.
Stolen funds include ~$4.3M USDC, $553k in wrapped ETH, $434k USDT, and $64k PAXG. Part of the haul moved through ChangeNow and Binance, with ~2,100 ETH (~$4.23M) still in the attacker’s wallet.
Binance Adds U.S. Stocks, Plans Tokenized Shares
Binance opened commission-free access to 7,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs for non-U.S. users, with fractional shares from $5 via USDT, USDC, or BNB. Nest Trading handles brokerage, Alpaca manages custody and corporate actions.
The exchange also announced bStocks, a coming feature letting users tokenize holdings on BNB Chain for 24/7 trading, near-instant settlement, and DeFi use cases including lending and liquidity provision.
Available exclusively to non-U.S. customers due to regulatory constraints, as Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood push into the same space.
Solstice (SLX) enters Korean market with new listings

Court Forces Circle to Freeze $12.6M in Zama's cUSDC Contract
Circle blacklisted the Ethereum contract behind Zama's confidential USDC (cUSDC) on May 30, locking 12,606,386 USDC. The freeze stems from a class action suit filed May 28 by three OVN-holding funds against Overnight Finance founder Maxim Ermilov, alleging he moved more than $15.7M from treasury wallets.
Because cUSDC is a wrapper holding the USDC that backs every confidential token holder, blacklisting the contract froze the entire pool rather than single deposit.
