On May 21, driven by a surge in global AI computing power demand, chip architecture giant ARM saw its stock price soar over 10% during trading, marking its total market value surpassing the $300 billion threshold for the first time (reaching $300.9 billion). This historic milestone signifies that major shareholder SoftBank Group and founder Masayoshi Son have entered a phase of unprecedented returns in their investment careers, referred to as a 'super myth.' According to public data, SoftBank Group currently holds approximately 87% of ARM's shares. Based on an estimated total cost of around $40 billion from the '2016 privatization acquisition' and 'forced buyback before the 2023 IPO,' this investment has generated over $220 billion in profit in just a few years (approximately 1.6 trillion yuan), with an astonishing return rate of 550%.

Report: Bitcoin Shows Signs of Repeating 2022 Trading Patterns
On May 21, CryptoQuant stated in a report that Bitcoin's recent price movements resemble those from over four years ago. CryptoQuant noted that Bitcoin's recent rise to around $82,000 is similar to a surge seen back in early 2022, when Bitcoin started at approximately $44,000 and climbed to over $72,000, the then historical high, by March of that year. Subsequently, Bitcoin fell back to around $16,000 before gradually recovering, reaching a near historical high of nearly $125,000 last October. CryptoQuant believes a similar situation may occur now. 'As stagnant stablecoin liquidity and negative price momentum simultaneously erode comprehensive signals, CryptoQuant's bullish score index has fallen from 40 to 20, entering an extremely bearish zone,' CryptoQuant stated. -
