- Coinbase announced a partnership with Samsung to integrate USDC as the first supported stablecoin in Samsung Wallet, appearing as the default option when topping up balances with custody handled by Coinbase Prime Vault.

- The integration leverages Coinbase's infrastructure for secure USDC handling, redeemable 1:1 for USD and backed by cash and short-term Treasuries, and is set to launch in the US during the last week of October 2026.

- This builds on prior Samsung-Coinbase collaborations like Samsung Pay support, aiming to expand USDC's utility for seamless payments and cross-border transfers to Samsung's large user base.

5/ Why “they’re decentralized so MAS cannot fault them” is a weak claim

MAS’s reported current posture treats decentralization as placing the venue outside its supervisory remit.

That is a real regulatory gap at the moment, not pure invention. The stronger version of the claim that decentralization makes the project untouchable or that the Singapore company is irrelevant is still misleading for several reasons.

The development company is a Singapore legal person with people and an office there. Singapore’s digital-token service provider rules (tightened so that firms incorporated in Singapore generally need a license even if they serve only overseas customers) create a potential hook for the company itself.

The defense relies on separating “Labs writes software / contributes to a chain” from “Labs operates a derivatives venue.” That distinction can be challenged if regulators decide the company is providing the service.

Control is concentrated in practice. The core team is small. The validator set is limited. Foundation-linked validators have at times held a very large share of stake. Node software has been closed-source, with critics noting that operators run a binary they cannot fully audit and that the foundation has practical influence over jailing and upgrades. Most users interact through a tea- or /foundation-controlled front end—the exact interface MAS listed.

“Cannot fault them” overstates the position. MAS has already publicly warned that the platform is not licensed. It can restrict solicitation of Singapore residents, revisit whether the Singapore entity is conducting a regulated activity, and coordinate with other regulators. Absence of a current license or a formal enforcement case is not the same as legal immunity.

4/ Where the misreading happens

Company address ≠ regulated venue. Hyperliquid is saying the lab is registered in Singapore. MAS is saying the protocol is not a MAS-licensed exchange and, given the decentralization on view, is not something it supervises. Those can both be true.

Alert-list entry ≠ ban. MAS’s list exists specifically to stop people assuming that an unlicensed name is MAS-regulated. Hyperliquid said it never made that claim.

“Not aware it is regulated anywhere” is a statement about licensing status, not a finding that the protocol is illegal or that Singapore ordered it to shut down.

[Anndy Lian @anndylian]

1/ Hyperliquid is registered in Singapore.
Highland Labs Pte. Ltd. (formerly known as Hyperliquid Labs Pte. Ltd.), UEN 202402326K was incorporated in Singapore in January 2024 as an exempt private company. Its registered office is in Singapore, and company documents list the city as the registered headquarters.

2/ Hyperliquid on MAS Investor Alert List.
The list itself, on MAS’s site, is defined as names of persons who, based on information available to MAS, “may be or may have been wrongly perceived as being licensed or in any other way authorized or regulated by MAS.” The Hyperliquid entry (listed 26 June 2026) names the Hyper Foundation site and the trading app. It does not say Hyperliquid broke the law, was banned, or is under enforcement.

3/ October 7, 2026 — Financial Times.
Hyperliquid Labs told the FT that Singapore is its registered headquarters (the team led by Jeff Yan moved there in 2024; filings and job postings point to an office). It also said the platform is currently unregulated, has never claimed to be licensed or authorized by MAS, has not applied for a MAS license, and would work constructively with regulators.

MAS’s direct line to the FT was: We are not aware that Hyperliquid is regulated in any major jurisdiction.

People familiar with MAS’s thinking told the FT that the regulator does not treat the venue as Singapore-based for supervisory purposes because of its decentralized structure, and therefore does not regard the trading platform as within its jurisdiction. That “outside jurisdiction because decentralized” line is sourced from people familiar with MAS’s position, not a full public MAS ruling.

Yesterday I saw headlines pushing the wrong meaning on both sides: Hyperliquid and Singapore MAS.

I will address the following:

- @HyperliquidX is registered in Singapore?

- @MAS_sg cannot do anything because Hyperliquid is decentralized.

Good marketing and community bring you attention.

If you have both, you are in the alpha zone.

1/ bitcoin:native trades at $83,079.42, down 1.02% in 24 hours. Volume rose roughly 40%. Price fell below $84,000 and tested the $83,000 support level. This zone has held since the September recovery. Falling price with rising volume points to forced exits, not calm repositioning.

2/ Macro pressure comes from hawkish FOMC minutes released October 7. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points to 3.75-4%. Most participants saw another hike likely by year-end. The December hike probability is 70.5%. Treasury yields rose above 5.3, tightening financial conditions.

3/ Liquidations between $550 million and $690 million hit crypto in 24 hours. Most were leveraged longs. 4 wallets opened 40x shorts on 148.49 BTC via Hyperliquid before the drop. Roughly $487 million came from long positions. Forced selling amplified the decline.

4/ Exchange outflows hit a 7-month high on October 5. About 24,073 BTC moved to private storage. Exchange-held Bitcoin fell to roughly 6.50% of total supply. This reduces the liquid supply available for immediate sale. The destination remains unconfirmed.

5/ Technical support sits at $81,300 to $83,000.
Resistance is $84,000 to $86,500. Bitcoin failed 3 times to break above $87,000 recently. The next catalyst is the U.S. CPI report on October 14. That data will test whether disinflation is reasserting or stalling.

6/ U.S. government wallets moved about $470 million in Bitcoin, wrapped Bitcoin, and USDT to Coinbase Prime-linked addresses on October 7. Assets link to the 2016 Bitfinex hack and Alameda. This revived speculation about government sales, though it could be a custody change.

7/ Bitcoin closed September 2026 at $83,556, a 6.4% gain and the best September on record. Spot ETFs added roughly $6.6 billion in a 7-day inflow streak. Glassnode flagged a U.S. trading-hour bid flip, meaning U.S. session buyers now drive marginal demand.

If Bitcoin breaks below $83,000, would you buy the dip or run for the exits?

- @Coinbase launched live crypto price prediction markets, letting users trade binary "up or down" contracts on coins like BTC, ETH, SOL in short timeframes such as 15 minutes.

- The post playfully references crypto trader memes by making phrases like "it's so over" (bearish) and "we're so back" (bullish) into actual tradable predictions based on real price action.

- Available via the Coinbase app through Coinbase Financial Markets, these high-risk contracts show current odds, trading volume, and multipliers but carry potential for total loss and are unavailable in states like Nevada.
