May 20, Bitget market data shows the U.S. stock storage sector posted broad gains in after-hours trading. Micron Technology (MU) advanced 0.95%, SanDisk (SNDK) rose 0.73%, Western Digital (WDC) gained 0.38%, and Seagate Technology (STX) climbed 0.43%.

On May 20th, on-chain analyst Darkfost noted that Bitcoin’s Long-Term Holder (LTH) unrealized loss has reached 5.7 million coins — mirroring bear market highs from prior cycles: 5.96 million in 2015, 5.8 million in 2019, and 6.8 million in 2022. Even so, BTC’s current price is roughly 52% off its all-time high — a steeper drop than seen in previous bear market corrections. That gap suggests the losses are heavily concentrated among the younger segment of LTHs, most likely driven by significant trading activity in the $80,000–$125,000 price zone.

On May 20th, Hyperliquid has officially updated its HIP-3 documentation. The update states that the 500,000 HYPE staking requirement for deploying a perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) will gradually drop as the infrastructure matures—any portion staked above the next staking threshold can be unstaked. The document also clarifies: "Any deployer that meets the staking requirement can launch a perpetual DEX. Crucially, each perpetual DEX operates with its own independent margin, order book, and deployer settings. Future upgrades may support multiple DEX deployments using the same deployer and staking requirements." BlockBeats believes lowering the staking threshold will attract more builders to the HIP-3 ecosystem, tap into additional niche markets, and facilitate more experimental projects.
