The native currency of the network is going back to its roots - it's officially $GRAM again
Shis is more than just a name change - it’s a powerful signal of a new growth phase

Step 4 of 7 to make $TON great again✅

[D2 Finance @D2_Finance]

Today is Fed day.

Good moment to revisit the DeFi credit fair-value debate.

Tom (@dunleavy89) said 12.55% anchored to the 10-year. Steakhouse (@adcv_) corrected to SOFR and got ~4% Prime, ~7% HY.

We sided with @SteakhouseFi on math, Tom on the warning. They're both right.

They're both also wrong.

Mission accomplished in Cannes. 🇫🇷

A massive thank you to the 150+ builders who made our @HyperliquidX Builders Night at EthCC[9] an undeniable success.

An event of this scale requires elite partners, and we found them in @BounceTech, @HyperSwapX, @valtitudexyz, and @hyperpnl. Co-organized with @HyperliquidFR.

The mission continues at @hypeglobal_.

[Colossus @colossusmag]

This is the story of Hyperliquid, the most profitable startup per employee on earth, told from a guarded office in Singapore.

Last year, its team of 11 generated $900 million in profit. It's 3 years old, has never taken a dollar of venture capital, and is beginning to change how century-old markets work.

Its founder, Jeffrey Yan (@chameleon_jeff), had never taken a physics class when he picked up a textbook at 16. Two years later, he won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. In 2019, he started trading with $10,000 from a living room in Puerto Rico—working off a television because he didn't own a monitor.

Within 3 years, he was running one of the largest anonymous crypto trading firms.

Then he shut it down. Yan was rich and free, but he had spent years inside crypto, watching it betray itself. Bitcoin's central premise was decentralization. Yet the biggest exchanges were centralized. Crypto kept reintroducing the dependence on trust it was built to eliminate. He set out to create what should have existed.

Hyperliquid is a blockchain with a trading exchange on top, and anyone can build on it. Yan's vision is to house all of finance. In 3 years, it has done over $4 trillion in volume. And in the past few months, it has begun to outgrow crypto.

Markets for oil, silver, and the S&P 500 now trade on Hyperliquid around the clock, weekends included, and are growing roughly 40% week on week. When the US and Israel bombed Iran on a Saturday in February, Hyperliquid was the venue traders turned to.

Hyperliquid's success has cost Yan his freedom. He works out of a secret office in Singapore and cannot travel without two bodyguards. Even the team's housekeeper doesn't know what they do.

In January, @domcooke spent a week at their office. Read his profile on Yan and @HyperliquidX below.

Crypto needs real GDP, not just speculation. @santiagoroel (Founder, @inversion_cap) returns to TOKEN2049 Dubai on 29-30 April.

He's acquiring operating businesses and embedding crypto rails for payments, efficiency, and UX. This is what mainstream adoption actually looks like.

Lighter Saw Significant Metrics Decline After TGE

@Lighter_xyz, a perp DEX platform that gained a lot of attention in 2025, particularly during its airdrop campaign in late December, has seen a significant decline in perp volume since its TGE.

Other metrics have also weakened, with $LIT token down 35% over the past week.

Can the project recover and compete with @HyperliquidX like before?
