Nah... permissionless HIP-3 markets will most likely start bleeding MMs/volume to the regulated markets from day one. โš ๏ธThe bigger mid to long-term risk for $HYPE is the U.S. will have growing leverage over all aspects of the Hyperliquid eco as these regulated markets grow....
trade[XYZ] and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, are joining forces to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. In just over a year, our markets on Hyperliquid have surpassed $650 billion in volume. They provide continuous price discovery for stocks, indices, and commodities, and have become trusted reference points for retail and institutions alike when traditional markets are closed. Much of the world trades them. Until now, Americans could only watch. We intend to change that. Subject to CFTC approval, trade[XYZ] and ICE plan to establish a new, dedicated U.S. market, with novel exchange and clearing infrastructure built on Hyperliquid. Planned contracts span equities, indices, commodities, FX, and crypto, with access through participating brokers and platforms. Weโ€™ll share more on products, eligibility, and timing as approvals progress. ICE brings more than 25 years of experience operating regulated markets, clearing, and managing risk. trade[XYZ] brings the product development, market design, and technology behind the most liquid and robust markets on Hyperliquid. Innovation and the protections of U.S. regulation shouldnโ€™t be a trade-off. Together, we plan to prove it. ICE is making a strategic investment in trade[XYZ] and joins us in building towards the future of Hyperliquid. A small group of market luminaries is joining as well, beginning with Stan Druckenmiller. For more than four decades, few investors have anticipated the great turns in markets as often as Stan. Weโ€™re proud to have him with us for the next one. Weโ€™re building the U.S. market in parallel with our existing HIP-3 markets, which weโ€™ll continue to expand and innovate on. We expect both to flourish. They each have a long road map ahead, from new asset classes to new ways to trade them. To the Hyperliquid community, whether you were here before us or came because of us, thank you. You took a chance on new markets and you made them matter. Youโ€™ll forever be a part of this story. Anything. Anytime. On ICE[XYZ].

UPDATE: Another big, and very abrupt dip in @papertrade_xyz LP due to big discrepancy between short and long OI. LP was down almost $3m before partially recovering๐Ÿ˜ฌ Imo only a matter of time before a big loss triggers the debt queue and traders start to leave! $paper
UPDATE: Looks like @papertrade_xyz won't last long if they don't find a way to fix the OI from skewing so much. LP has lost $2m over the past 24h due to how big the skew was on the short side. Will be difficult to do without funding rates! $PAPER

A special shoutout to Brian Armstrong from Coinbase, Ledger and Cryptobilos (the compromised company) This tweet was in April of 2023 btw 3 years ago.

UPDATE: I can confirm that the Ledger supply chain is compromised in Europe as well. @Ledger should initiate an immediate product recall to protect users. I just purchased a second device from a different Mediamarkt location today, recorded the unboxing process, and discovered spyware once again (video linked in the second tweet). The device was compromised in the exact same manner, featuring identical modifications (such as additional cables and an LTE module). This indicates its a widespread issue rather than an isolated incident, potentially affecting Ledger inventory across MediaMarkt and Saturn stores throughout Europe (comprising over 1,000 stores across 11 countries). My initial hypothesis was that these devices were returns that looked unopened to the employees and were just sold again as new however, a MediaMarkt employee confirmed that the device I purchased was not a return, and that returned Ledgers are sent directly back to the manufacturer rather than resold. Store records show the inventory originated from Aqipa GmbH. While Ledger's CTO was unsure if Aqipa serves as the direct distributor between Ledger and MediaMarkt, it appears to be the case. Given that Aqipa distributes across Europe, any physical retail store receiving stock through them may be at risk. I sent the first ledger to mark and the second one is going to ledger now, so that they can analyse it. If you purchased a ledger from anyone other than the official ledger store, make sure to check your device!!

Tomorrow is going to be WILD: $30.5m in pre-deposits and rising by the hour!๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ˜ฎ PaperTrade allows 1000x leverage, but even if most $PAPER farmers stick to 50-100x, that's potentially billions of $ in trading volume on day 1 ๐Ÿคฏ $HYPE will be feeling the launch for sure...
papertrade pre-deposits are live! papertrade.xyz in order to avoid the launch trading congestion, deposit during the next two days to secure your spot at the starting line. once trading begins, account creation/deposits will be heavily deprioritized. no need to rush - there is no advantage to depositing earlier during this period. when on 10.10 will papertrade go live? live trading will begin approximately one hour after the expected hyperevm network upgrade on 10.10. the exact upgrade time is not known beforehand. the official hyperliquid discord will post an update when the upgrade is about to begin, so keep an eye there for an early heads up. there is a small historical possibility that the upgrade will happen on the AM of the 11th.

thorchain will probably (maybe, who knows) integrate monero soon (few months to a year, if lucky) and will provide a whooping 50k of decentralized liquidity to a market that does around 100 million in daily trading volume absolutely HYPED about this
Countdown checklist to monero:native being live for trading on @THORChain โœ… chain code live โœ… Daemons live โณ Upgrade to 3.21 โณ Bifrost activated โณ Vault created via churn โณ Pool seeded with tiny liquidity โณ Successful swaps โณ Make sure everything is working smoothly in production โณ Treasury deepens liquidity to $50k $RUNE

This should concern all $USDC, stablecoin LPs in all DeFi protocols allowing borrowing against tokenized stocks with big AI exposure. Allowing tokenized stocks as collateral at the top of the largest bubble in history may not turn out so well. $AAVE $NVDA $MSFT $GOOG $META
Anthropic IPO prospectus leaked to Reuters Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, โ€Œand plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the prospectus. The prospectus details how the company has grown sharply in the last year โ€” while also posting wider losses. Revenue grew 12-fold in 2025 to nearly $4.6 billion, even as the company lost more than $8 billion on an operating basis, excluding writedowns of various liabilities mostly tied to previous fundraising, according to the documents, reported here for the first time. reuters.com/business/financeโ€ฆ

We are devasted to hear about the recent exploit and can imagine how difficult this must be for everyone involved. THORChain is decentralized and permissionless like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. What responsibility should Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB Chain bear when handling known stolen funds? @star_okx @GracyBitget

Replying to @WatcherGuru
I'm very bullish on $hype but in my experience anytime a massive pump on an alt is followed up with a Binance spot listing, the result is a substantial dump. Not saying it happens here for sure, but something to keep in mind.

These are the faces of a few @hack_vc team members. Before her death, Hsin-Ju publicly spoke about what she alleged happened to her at Hack VC describing extreme pressure, threats, intimidation and working through a serious medical crisisโ€ฆ She explicitly wrote that she believed the situation could end in โ€œdeathโ€ and refused a settlement that would require her to stay silent about what happened to her (probably she was being blackmailed too) She was found dead shortly after that tweet My condolences to @hsinju family and friends. Letโ€™s not forget @hack_vc and the projects they are behind ever again Some of the biggest companies and protocols working with Hack VC may not even know what she publicly alleged. Letโ€™s make sure they see and stop working with them. @Bybit_Official @BybitEU @CrusoeAI @SuiNetwork @Stable @Morpho @avax @berachain Who else should be tagged? โ€ผ๏ธ
The day after she made this post, she was found dead Hsin-Ju was one of the nicest people I met and made this industry feel inclusive May you rest in peace @hsinju ๐Ÿ’œ
