Hyperliquid’s lead in onchain perpetuals drew a fresh challenge from the Solana ecosystem after Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, known as Toly, argued that Solana needs its own atomically composable perp DEX inside the SVM. The debate comes as Hyperliquid is already trying to define its regulatory path in Washington during the advancement of the CLARITY Act. The exchange began with Hyperliquid co-founder Jeffrey Yan saying he had spent several days in Washington with the Hyperliquid Policy Center, meeting policymakers as the CLARITY Act advanced. According to him, the discussions focused on Hyperliquid, its potential benefits for American consumers, and the regulatory path for bringing onchain derivatives markets into the US framework. That policy push quickly collided with a separate market-structure debate on X, where Toly publicly encouraged users who enjoy Hyperliquid to try a new Solana-based perp DEX. The comment drew pushback from users, who questioned whether the industry n
Bitcoin (BTC) has slid sharply over the past week, retracing nearly 7% and wiping out the upside that built after last week’s Senate Banking Committee markup of the CLARITY Act. That legislative momentum helped push BTC above the $82,000 area, but the coin is now changing hands around $76,700. The Bitcoin Pullback Glassnode’s latest read on the situation points to a clear deterioration in short-term market behavior. The firm says the Bitcoin selling pressure has intensified, with Spot CVD falling by 848.7%. At the same time, spot volume is up about 4.2%, suggesting that more coins are moving through the market. Glassnode interprets this as rising activity that may not necessarily reflect a bullish mindset, but rather traders responding more aggressively to price volatility and hedging or repositioning.

While the rest of the crypto market has shown more signs of an intensifying bear market, Zcash (ZEC) is making major waves. Over the last 30 days, the privacy-focused coin has surged by around 60%, while Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) have remained relatively quiet, each slipping by single digits in the same timeframe. Nevertheless, Alex Cardichi, market expert from The Motley Fool, argues that Bitcoin, Solana and Zcash have several potential catalysts remaining this month that could trigger a fresh rebound rally.

He refers to comments made by White House advisor Patrick Witt on 6 May, when Witt revealed that a significant update on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is anticipated ‘in the next few weeks’. Cardichi argues that a positive announcement, especially one that provides clearer details on the status o

HYPE has been one of the most compelling stories in crypto since its launch in November 2024. While the broader market has faced sustained selling pressure and most assets have struggled to hold meaningful levels, Hyperliquid’s native token has demonstrated a resilience that has drawn attention from participants well beyond the DeFi ecosystem that originally embraced it. Related Reading: XRP Leverage Expansion Raises Risks Near $1.50 Resistance – A Big Move May Follow The project’s combination of genuine product traction, growing trading volume, and a token model that rewards network participation has made HYPE one of the few assets in this cycle that institutional observers have treated as a serious long-term allocation rather than a speculative trade. That institutional attention has now produced a data point that is difficult to ignore.
