Hyperliquid Drives On-Chain Perps Volume Past $15T
The milestone lands at a moment when Hyperliquid alone controls 30% of perps DEX flow, signalling that perpetual DEXs are no longer a niche corner of crypto trading.
Decentralized exchanges, AMMs, perpetual DEXs, and on-chain orderbooks — volume, TVL, and DEX activity.
The milestone lands at a moment when Hyperliquid alone controls 30% of perps DEX flow, signalling that perpetual DEXs are no longer a niche corner of crypto trading.
The same failure mode that hit Verus before just cost users another seven-figure sum across ETH, USDC, USDT, tBTC and three more reserve assets, raising fresh questions about bridge security.
The pattern is the story: four protocols fell in 24 hours to the same failure mode, compromised keys and permissions, not broken cryptography, and AI tooling is now lowering the cost of finding those…
The attacker bridged the stolen stablecoin to Ethereum and swapped into 12,467 ETH before the team could respond, a textbook cross-chain drain pattern.
The draft preserves protections for non-custodial DeFi developers, but its temporary ethics provision and lack of Democratic buy-in leave the Senate path uncertain.
The 2021 cohort is the cleanest natural experiment in altcoin survivorship yet, and the 13 outright deaths plus 46 fallen out of the top 100 set the baseline for every cycle-replay thesis going…
The on-chain record is brutal: $1 in fees in the past 24 hours, a fully diluted valuation down over 99% from peak, and a developer that raised nine figures while generating almost nothing.
The 113-coin cohort is a graveyard with a median return of -95.7%, but HYPE and ONDO are the outliers proving the model can still work when it works.
Roughly 5% of all stablecoin float now sits on a chain that was a rounding error in the sector two years ago, with Circle, Tether and Paxos all leaning in.
Equities, commodities, indices, and crypto perpetuals settle on a layer-2 that puts a US broker's rails behind a DEX orderbook, blurring the line between on-chain perps and traditional prime…
The launch extends Jito's MEV infrastructure into a full self-custodial venue, folding tokenized real-world assets into the same surface as spot Solana tokens.
An Ethereum address untouched since 2015, when the 2,000 ETH it held was worth roughly $620, just transferred on-chain for the first time in over a decade.
Five mid-cap Solana names outran a quieter broader market, with MetaDAO up 51% and Pyth posting a 33% gain that suggests rotation into oracle and launchpad exposure.
The 500,000-HYPE stake-to-deploy model puts Hyperliquid on a direct collision course with Polymarket and Kalshi, while giving HYPE holders another demand sink tied to platform activity.
The attacker used a $1.12M flash loan from Kamino to skew USDC/USDT pool ratios, withdrew at favorable rates, and bridged proceeds to Ethereum.
The upgrade shifts template approval to existing validators, turning outcome-market deployment into a permissionless primitive rather than a core-team-gated feature.
The pause puts affected pools and liquidity providers on alert as investigators assess a cross-chain bridge attack involving a flash loan.
Liquidity providers in affected pools were urged to withdraw funds after the attacker moved the stolen assets from Solana to Ethereum.
The attacker bridged stolen funds from Solana to Ethereum, and the protocol's pause is the kind of containment move that signals a live, in-flight incident rather than a post-mortem.
Attention on token-listing aggregators often front-runs the actual move: the visited-then-pumped pattern is familiar, but it does not tell you which of the three names holds the bid.
