BlackRock and Vanguard Group disclosed their holdings of shares in BNKK, a Bonk treasury company
According to ChainCatcher news, according to the latest 13F form, BlackRock and Vanguard Group disclosed a small number of Bonk treasury company BNKK stock holdings.

Altman asserts that the world will face a computing power shortage, with OpenAI offering a 1-3 year long-term contract with discounts
According to Bijie.com, Altman warned that the world will face a computing power shortage. OpenAI has launched the "Computing Power Guarantee" service, where companies only need to commit to spending for 1 to 3 years to lock in computing power access and receive tiered token discounts based on the committed amount. As competition among large models evolves into direct grabs of underlying physical computing power, Altman stated that global computing power will be constrained for a long time in the future. The plan's quota has a clear physical cap; the currently allocated quota stops once sold out, with sufficient computing power at the base to prioritize the normal operation of core products like ChatGPT and Codex.

The Bybit platform collateral limit will be adjusted on June 2, 2026
According to Bijie.com, Bybit will implement platform-level collateral caps on all supporting assets in staking lending, unified trading accounts (UTA), and institutional lending starting at 8:00 UTC on June 2, 2026. The new system will monitor the collateral utilization rate of each token in real time. When a token's utilization rate approaches its limit, an alert icon will appear next to that asset in the user's account, and a warning notification will be received. If a token reaches 100% utilization, restrictions will be automatically triggered, including being unable to add affected tokens as new collateral or transferring them into UTA accounts. To reduce risk, users are advised to diversify their collateral across multiple assets.

India plans to send oil tankers to cross the Strait of Hormuz to restore energy imports to the Middle East
Odaily Planet Daily reports that India plans to send oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz to load energy cargo from the Middle East. This will be the first time since the outbreak of the Iran conflict. Insiders say the plan has been finalized and will be implemented once the government finally approves it. Specific times and passenger volumes have not yet been disclosed. Once approved by the Indian Navy and ordered by refiners, the state-owned Indian Shipping Company will return to the Persian Gulf.
Since Iran went to war at the end of February, shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has come to a near standstill. This strait carries about one-fifth of the world's oil flow, and the disruption has had a severe impact on importing countries such as India. It is currently unclear whether Iran, which imposed the blockade, or the United States has allowed India to pass, and their consent is crucial. Last week, Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar met with Iranian Foreign Minister Aragazi during the BRICS summit in New Delhi.
Sources say India hopes to continue importing energy from traditional Middle Eastern suppliers because alternative sources take longer and are more costly. (Jin Shi)

Additionally, the new model introduces a dynamic injection mechanism for hot words, allowing users to specify specific personal names, brands, or industry terms directly in the translation stream, ensuring translation accuracy. The model is currently open on the experience platform Qwen Omni, and the API will be logged in to the Alibaba Cloud Bailian platform in the future.
