On May 21, Internet celebrity Harry Welch (ie "Hawk tuah girl") revealed in her latest podcast that she was investigated by the FBI and SEC for promoting the HAWK meme coin. The meme coin quickly plummeted 90% after it went online and was called an "exit scam" by many cryptocurrency commentators. Welch said that the investigation agency checked her phone and questioned her, but ultimately found her innocent. She admitted that she did not have enough knowledge of cryptocurrency, "trusted the wrong people", and felt guilty for causing fans to lose their investments. Welch said she only charged marketing fees and did not profit from the coin itself.

4. The RFC draft of Lido V3 white paper was released, and it is planned to be finalized before the middle of summer this year
Golden Finance reported that pshe.eth, the developer of Lido protocol, tweeted that the RFC draft of Lido V3 white paper was released.

It is expected that stVaults will become a highly composable basic component that can be used as the core cornerstone for creating strategies, protocols and institutional staking products.
The current draft covers a wide range of design aspects and is expected to continue to be optimized in the next few weeks, with the goal of finalizing the white paper before the middle of summer this year.
