On May 12, Ethereum's meme coin Sato experienced a significant market surge, with its value increasing by 70% within an hour, reaching a peak of $38.3 million. According to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, the current value stands at $37.8 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $4.5 million.

Hedge funds are increasingly investing in agricultural products used for biofuel production due to significant energy market volatility caused by the Iran war, according to the Financial Times. This shift is driven by concerns over prolonged disruptions in fuel supply through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Jin10, data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission shows that since the outbreak of the Middle East conflict, hedge funds have nearly doubled their net bets on soybean oil, a key ingredient in biodiesel production. Similarly, their positions on corn, used for ethanol, have shifted from expecting price declines to the most bullish levels this year. Hedge fund managers and traders indicate that oil prices have surged since the conflict began, leading many funds to anticipate that agricultural product prices will be the next market to rise. Doug King, head of RCMA Capital, commented on the rapid changes in hedge fund positions in these soft commodity sectors, stating, "I don't think this is just a steady adjustment; it's a lightning-fast entry."
