Jeff Sprecher, CEO of ICE (owner of the NYSE), on Hyperliquid:

“This Hyperliquid that we’re talking - f you haven’t heard about it, it’s bigger than NASDAQ, okay?”

“We’re not freaked out about it. We’re actually talking to these people and learning about it.”

Coinbase has announced its plan to activate AQAv2 on USDC as the treasury deployer, with Circle serving as the technical deployer responsible for CCTP and native cross-chain infrastructure. Both Coinbase and Circle have committed to stake HYPE to activate AQAv2. As part of this transition, Native Markets has agreed to terms granting Coinbase the right to purchase the USDH brand assets. With Coinbase, in its role as treasury deployer, sharing the vast majority of reserve yield revenue with the protocol, USDC will become the most aligned stablecoin on Hyperliquid. As a result, canonical outcome (HIP-4) markets will use USDC as the quote asset in a future network upgrade.

User and builder feedback has been consistent that fragmentation leads to degraded experience; now, the community no longer needs to choose between liquidity and protocol alignment.

The pioneering work of Native Markets in launching USDH as the first production-scale stablecoin sharing yield directly with a protocol in a purely onchain implementation made AQAv2 possible. The learnings and mechanics pioneered by USDH will live on in AQAv2.

The Hyper Foundation will give grants to eligible HIP-3 deployers, HIP-1 deployers, and builders who integrated USDH, supporting teams through migration over the next months. These grants reflect an ongoing commitment to teams who choose to build on Hyperliquid and align with the protocol. USDH markets are fully functional but will sunset over time. USDH remains fully backed, with feeless conversions to USDC and fiat available to users during this transition.

🚨 NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang just talked about decentralised AI training on the All-In Podcast $TAO 🚨

@chamath put Covenant-72B on the table.

72 billion parameters, trained by @tplr_ai across 70+ contributors on commodity internet. No central cluster. No permission needed.

Jensen's response? He didn't dismiss it. He called it a real proof point and said the world should be paying attention... 👀

S&P Dow Jones Indices and trade[XYZ] have joined forces to launch the first official S&P 500 perpetual contract, available exclusively on Hyperliquid.

For 69 years, the S&P 500 has been a defining reference point for global finance. Until now, access to that benchmark has been shaped by market hours, intermediaries, and geography. Today, that changes.

The S&P 500 perp is now available 24/7/365, anchored by the official index data required for deep liquidity and institutional confidence at scale. 

SPDJI helped define modern indexing. They are stewards of an iconic benchmark, the standard against which portfolios across the globe are measured. We are honored to bring that legacy on-chain.

Trade[XYZ] is bringing the world's most iconic assets towards a future of global, continuous markets — a future powered by Hyperliquid.

@tplr_ai Miner requirements like min 8× NVIDIA B200 / H200 GPUs is like enterprise/datacenter level hardware right!?

[BlockBrain.co @BlockBrain_co]

Love the enthusiasm and permissionless vibe .. But 'anyone with a GPU' is a bit misleading.

Official Templar miner requirements:
• Min 8× NVIDIA B200 / H200 GPUs
• 64+ CPU cores
• 1200+ GB RAM
• Gigabit internet

That's enterprise/datacenter level hardware, not a home RTX 3090 setup.

True.

Once the solar energy generation to robot manufacturing to chip fabrication to AI loop is closed, conventional currency will just get in the way.

Just wattage and tonnage will matter, not dollars.

@disclosetv Finally a government that bans something that actually makes sense. A new generation of children will be unknowingly grateful for the rest of their lives for having had a ‘normal’ childhood.

🚨 BREAKING: El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is being praised for making his country's prisoners CLEAN UP THE BEACHES and BEAUTIFY El Salvador, instead of just sitting around in a building

THAT'S how you do it.

I truly admire what Bukele does to improve El Salvador! 🇺🇸🇸🇻

The three eras of crypto.

Proof of work: 2009-2017
Programmability: 2017-2025
Privacy: 2025-203X

[Logan Weaver @LogWeaver]

Europe just killed financial privacy.

In 847 days, cash transactions above €10,000 will become illegal across the eurozone.

Not regulated. Illegal.

The EU Anti-Money Laundering package (AMLA) doesn't just target criminals.

It treats all 340 million Europeans like suspects.

Want to buy a car with cash? Criminal.

Want to send €1,001 in Bitcoin? State approval required.

Anonymous crypto wallets? Gone.

Every transaction is logged in a centralized Brussels database.

They're calling it "fighting money laundering."

The EU estimates €500 billion is laundered yearly.

So their solution is to surveil 340 million people to catch the fraction committing crimes.

But the real kicker comes in 2029.

The Digital Euro launches after the ECB spent €1.3 billion developing it.

Leaked proposals show a €3,000 holding cap per person.

Every purchase is tracked.
Every pattern is analyzed.
Every transaction is subject to state scrutiny.

China's digital yuan already does this.

Programmable money that can expire, restrict purchases, or be frozen based on behavior.

The ECB promises Europe will be different.

€20 trillion flows through the eurozone annually.

Soon, every cent requires approval from Frankfurt.

The infrastructure of control gets built in the name of safety.

Every. Single. Time.

This is why understanding the tech behind your money isn't optional anymore.

847 days until cash above €10,000 becomes contraband.

1,308 days until every euro is digital, tracked, and controlled.

Zero days of mainstream coverage asking the question that matters:

Who decides what you're allowed to buy when money becomes permission?

The clock is running.

And most people still don't see it coming....

Crypto is at its Blockbuster vs Netflix moment.

Right now, businesses are going onchain and adopting crypto because they want to. They get it.

Soon, the other businesses will be desperately trying to catch up. They'll go onchain because they need to.

My advice: be early.
