Global venture capital investment was a healthy $39 billion in May, according to Crunchbase. But, the figure declined for the second month in a row, reaching the lowest point since December 2020. In monthly terms, VC investments declined by nearly 16%. In yearly terms, it fell by 20%.

Nobel laureate and economist Robert Shiller said the US has a good chance of entering a recession. He told Bloomberg the odds of a recession in the next few years are 50%, which is “much higher than normal.” Shiller predicted in 2005 that the housing bubble would burst and also warned a new one may be forming. And, Ray Dalio said the FMOC will cut interest rates to combat stagflation in a recent Market Insider interview. “We are in a tighttening mode … the pain of that will become great.”

Additionally, former EY Global Chairman and CEO Mark Weinberger warned that inflation will not go down in the near future, causing the economy to “turn for the worse.”

Gemini, a crypto exchange and custodian founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss faced a loss in February in the form of a $36 million breach. And now the company is being sued over its alleged failure to protect its customers.
