CPI set for months of decline

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it lingered in a narrow trading range ahead of the April Consumer Price Index (CPI) release.

A classic volatility catalyst for risk assets, CPI forms one of the key metrics the Federal Reserve considers when changing interest rates.

“A little bit of stagnation now, but into the coming two to three months, we’re likely to see a gradual decline, and actually a pretty steep decline, in inflation,” financial commentator Tedtalksmacro said in part of YouTube analysis on May 9.

Aragon launches defensive measures against Arca's '51% attack'

Aragon, an open-source framework designed to launch decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), has pulled plans for its native Aragon (ANT) token holders to be given voting rights over the future direction of the organization.

The Aragon Association, a Switzerland-based organization that oversees the management of Aragon said in a May 9 tweet it exercised its “fiduciary duty” to secure its treasury and overall mission by “repurposing the Aragon DAO as part of a new grants program.”

The decision was made after the recently launched Aragon DAO suffered a 51% attack at the hands of a group called the “Risk Free Value (RFV) Raiders” who were seeking to manipulate the use of ANT as a means to achieve financial gain.

According to a blog post from Aragon, the RFV Raiders are linked to the recent attack and liquidation of Rook DAO which occurred in early April. Aragon alleges the Raiders are activist investors from the asset management firm Arca Capital Management and refer to themselves as the “vultures of crypto.”

The blog post shed further light on the controversial decision:
