The post Grayscale says Hyperliquid could become a ‘financial services juggernaut’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Hyperliquid (HYPE), a decentralized trading platform that began as a crypto perpetual futures exchange less than three years ago, is increasingly being viewed by Wall Street analysts as a broader financial infrastructure play that could challenge parts of traditional exchanges and derivatives markets. In a new report, Grayscale described Hyperliquid as a fast-growing blockchain-based platform that generated roughly $800 million in revenue in 2025 while capturing meaningful market share in crypto perpetual futures, one of the largest segments of digital asset trading. “Hyperliquid is not directly comparable to another project in either crypto or traditional finance,” Grayscale wrote. “If it continues to execute well … we think Hyperliquid could become a financial services juggernaut.” Perpetual futures, or “perps,” are derivatives contracts that allow traders to specul
The post Wall Street’s trillion-dollar dilemma: Why AI-powered hackers are keeping big banks off the blockchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Traditional financial institutions are preparing to move trillions of dollars of assets onchain, but the risk of hacks and exploits is putting them off, according to blockchain security firm CertiK’s CEO Ronghui Gu. “Right now, more and more institutions are trying to move assets onchain,” Gu told CoinDesk in an interview. “They imagine that, let’s say in 10 years, multiple trillion dollars — even tens of trillions of dollars — of assets are going to move onchain.” The potentially massive migration of financial assets is hitting a wall because, although bankers and legacy institutions want to capture the efficiency of decentralized ledgers, the current operational reality is still too risky for conservative capital allocators. “When they move assets onchain, they need to face all these AI attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, oracle man

Sui Network suffers two consecutive outages due to bugs in its 1.72 upgrade, disrupting block production and sparking market concerns.
The Sui blockchain, a Layer-1 network developed by Mysten Labs, encountered its second outage in as many days on Friday, May 29, 2026. According to the network’s status dashboard, block production halted for over three and a half hours before being restored. The disruption followed an earlier six-hour outage on May 28 due to a bug introduced in the 1.72 software upgrade. The Sui team attributed the outages to issues with the new release, which introduced changes to address balances and gas charging logic. “Yesterday’s implemented fix was an interim measure designed to restore functionality to the network,” the team explained, adding that a more comprehensive fix has since been deployed by most vali

Reading on-chain data at the right time can give investors an early edge. At the current stage of the cycle, timing matters more than ever. From a technical view, traders have wiped $10 billion+ from the market this week, dragging Bitcoin closer to $70k.

At the same time, more than 45% of short-term holders (STHs) are now underwater, increasing the likelihood of panic selling as market participants begin to test their conviction.
