Famous Wall Street investor and Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Duquesne Family Office Stan Druckenmiller (@standuquesne) posted his first tweet, stating that he has become an investor in Trade.xyz. Trade.xyz is collaborating with the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) to introduce Hyperliquid-based round-the-clock perpetual futures to the United States. Stan Druckenmiller expressed that as a market participant, he looks forward to using this product to improve the investment process.

According to market news monitoring, last month, out of 3.75 million HYPE traded over-the-counter, 3.125 million were staked to a single wallet, with validators being Hyperliquid Strategies and Unit; the remaining 625,000 were transferred to another wallet of HyperEVM and remained idle for nearly three weeks.Yesterday, that wallet sent 1 HYPE to a new wallet; this new wallet received funds from several transfers on the same day, with the funds coming from wallets associated with TradeXYZ related to the purchase of assets on Hyperliquid. Currently, 625,000 HYPE has been transferred to this new wallet and moved from HyperEVM to Hypercore. Market speculation suggests that ICE is the buyer of these 3.75 million HYPE, but this has not yet been confirmed; this 625,000 HYPE may have been transferred to TradeXYZ as part of ICE's investment, with on-chain associations indicating that this portion of HYPE may belong to TradeXYZ.

The founder of Trade.xyz, @sershokunin, published a lengthy article stating that Trade.xyz partnered with ICE 381 days after launching its first market on Hyperliquid. He mentioned that after CFTC approval, a dedicated U.S. market will be established, offering 24/7 perpetual contracts based on Hyperliquid, covering stocks, indices, commodities, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrencies. Previously, Americans could not directly trade these markets, but now they will gain access to innovative products and U.S. regulatory protection. ICE is making a strategic investment and inviting participants like Stan Druckenmiller.In the lengthy article, @sershokunin reiterated that the vision of the protocol is to create a universal exchange where any asset can be traded anytime and anywhere. Ultimately, it aims to achieve synergy between owned assets and traded assets, such as using tokenized stocks as collateral, hedging indices, trading pre-IPO companies, etc., all completed within a single account.

OKX founder and CEO Star stated on social media that they will promote perpetual contracts into the regulated U.S. market.

Among them, ICE serves as the exclusive operator for the U.S. market, Trade.xyz is the exclusive partner for ICE to launch this business in the U.S., and distribution to retail users will be conducted through a joint venture between ICE and OKX.Star stated that this collaboration will combine ICE's institutional-grade market infrastructure, Trade.xyz's on-chain innovation capabilities, and OKX's distribution and trading technology, aiming to create a new generation of global, round-the-clock financial markets.

According to official news, YZi Labs announced the launch of the first phase of the Atlas Scout program, recruiting four students from Stanford University, Yale University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, Los Angeles, to participate in early investment projects in the fields of Web3, artificial intelligence (AI), and biotechnology.The program aims to allow outstanding university students to gain early exposure to venture capital, participate in project discovery, preliminary research, due diligence, and investment judgment, and encourage them to organize entrepreneurial communities on campus and explore investment opportunities. YZi Labs will provide a maximum of $1 million in intended investment for related investment opportunities in this program and open its ecosystem network composed of over 300 portfolio companies.YZi Labs stated that many potential entrepreneurs often begin their explorations in laboratories, open-source projects, campus entrepreneurial organizations, and technology communities before entering traditional financing channels, and their peers who learn and work with them usually discover their potential earlier. The Atlas Scout program hopes to leverage students' own campus networks to help these early entrepreneurs obtain capital, mentorship, and industry resources. Eligible entrepreneurial teams will also have the opportunity to connect with YZi Labs' EASY Residency program or further discuss investment collaboration.The Atlas Scout program not only expands financing and resource channels for early entrepreneurs but also allows participating students to accumulate venture capital experience through practical projects, enhancing their project evaluation, founder communication, and investment judgment skills.YZi Labs stated that Scouts can independently carry out campus activities based on their interests, such as organizing technical exchanges, gathering entrepreneurial teams, or discovering potential investment projects, while receiving guidance and ecosystem resource support from YZi Labs in the process. The program aims to establish connections before entrepreneurial projects gain widespread attention, allowing initial ideas on campus to have the opportunity to develop into actual projects, while cultivating a new generation of investors who can identify technological trends and entrepreneurial potential earlier.

According to official news, BNB Standard Corporation (BNC) has announced the appointment of Alex Odagiu as the new CEO.

Bitfinex Alpha's latest report indicates that whether Bitcoin can regain the $84,500 level this week will depend on whether the U.S. CPI data changes market expectations for interest rates and yields, as well as whether spot market buying can follow up.This round of correction is similar to multiple adjustments during the previous recovery phase, and investors with holding costs within the original trading range have not shown significant selling. However, spot buying remains a weak link in the current market, with Bitcoin ETF investors' average holding cost around $84,340, and the current price is below this level, leading some investors to potentially sell as the rebound approaches their cost level.Analysts believe that if this week's core CPI month-on-month increase is 0.2% or lower, it may reduce market interest rate hike expectations and drive yields down, providing room for BTC to rise; if the core CPI reaches 0.3% or higher, it may continue to suppress the performance of risk assets. BTC may fluctuate in the range of $81,300 to $84,500 in the short term.If the price breaks through and stabilizes above $84,500, while ETF fund flows are strong, the market may retest the year-to-date opening level of $87,722; if it falls below $81,300 with continued capital outflow, it may further dip to around $77,400, the true market average level.

According to Bits media, the government of Kyrgyzstan has decided to terminate the operation of the national stablecoin Gold Dollar (USDKG) and has requested the Ministry of Finance to liquidate its issuer EVA and the country's first state-owned cryptocurrency exchange Coin Nomad Exchange.This stablecoin was launched by the authorities in November 2025, initially positioned as the world's first state-issued stablecoin backed by physical gold and pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. The issuer was the state-owned company "Virtual Asset Issuer," fully owned by the Ministry of Finance of Kyrgyzstan (later renamed "EVA"), with a registered issuance volume slightly exceeding 50 million tokens. The token operates on the Tron blockchain. The authorities had positioned it as a cross-border settlement tool and planned to operate it at least until 2034. This closure aims to optimize the management of state assets, and USDKG holders can exchange their tokens for fiat currency or USDT.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua published an article discussing the current state of the cryptocurrency primary market. He stated that the main reasons for the decline of the cryptocurrency primary market are: "First, the narrative has collapsed; from white papers to institutional endorsements to TVL manipulation, the basic market is no longer buying in. Second, there is a supply imbalance; now there are tens of thousands of projects, and it is extremely difficult for excellent projects to emerge. Third, the 1 plus 3 unlocking mechanism essentially targets VCs, allowing projects, market makers, and exchanges to run first. Fourth, the cost of listing coins; now primary projects require high valuations and large financing mainly because of several leading centralized exchanges going live, with an average cost needing tens of millions of dollars."Yi Lihua believes that industry leaders need to truly focus on building, such as improving the coin listing selection method on Binance. Under the current model, even if Vitalik Buterin's ETH were to come today, it would not be able to list on Binance. Additionally, the 1 plus 3 unlocking mechanism should be completely abolished; VCs bear the greatest risk and should not be burdened with the worst unlocking terms, as the success or failure of a project is fundamentally not determined by VCs.Finally, cryptocurrency projects need to return to real revenue and buybacks. The sustained prosperity of the U.S. stock market over the years is primarily due to performance growth and the encouragement of shareholder returns. This is what industry leaders should be doing, allowing secondary market investors to truly find quality projects.

MOJO founder Forest Bai commented on Opinion and YZi Labs on X. He stated that Opinion had received a batch of positive reviews in the primary market at that time, and some friends had recommended it to him, but he still believed that the project belonged to a niche direction and had nothing particularly special.He also mentioned that at that stage, he had already demystified 99.9% of primary market projects; even with luxurious teams and lavish funding, most projects merely held mediocre ideas, seeking very niche, self-indulgent markets, ultimately delivering outsourced-level products, not to mention that most projects' various elements were below mediocre levels.Regarding YZi Labs, Forest Bai stated that the institution has top-notch relationships and deep capital in the industry, but it overly believes in its ability to turn stone into gold through incubation. He acknowledged that the relevant arrangements could indeed lead to token listings and user distribution, but if the project's inherent value is limited, this is not empowerment but rather a consumption of its own resources.He further stated that successful cases of the incubator model worldwide are few and far between; any team with capability, integrity, and vision would not accept being undervalued and bound to an ecosystem through incubation.
