‍Hyperliquid Unlocks $60M in HYPE Tokens Amidst Price Concerns Hyperliquid DEX has released 1.75 million HYPE tokens, valued at over $60.4 million, to developers and core contributors. This pre-scheduled unlock, part of the platform's vesting schedule and marking its first anniversary, has led to market discussions about potential selling pressure and price impact. Despite a community-focused model rewarding early adopters, the unlock triggered a ~4.6% price decline. Arthur Hayes of BitMEX noted that even with team assurances, sustained selling pressure is a possibility that may already be "priced in." HYPE has fallen ~42% from its September all-time high and is trading below its 200-day moving average. However, Hyperliquid continues to impress with significant monthly trading volumes and revenue generation, indicating underlying operational strength despite token volatility.

‍SEC Commissioner Peirce Advocates for Crypto Self-Custody Amidst ETF Growth SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known as "Crypto Mom," has strongly reaffirmed the fundamental right to crypto self-custody and financial privacy. She stated, "It has become the presumption that if you want to keep your transactions private, you're doing something wrong, but it should be exactly the opposite presumption." This advocacy comes as some Bitcoin whales and long-term holders shift towards ETFs, attracted by tax benefits and simplified management. Dr. Martin Hiesboeck of Uphold noted this as the first decline in self-custodied Bitcoin in 15 years, partly due to the SEC's approval of in-kind creations for crypto ETFs. This trend sparks debate, with critics questioning the move away from the "not your keys, not your coins" principle.

‍Insider Trading Infects Institutional Crypto Treasuries Shane Molidor, founder of Forgd, highlights how insider trading is expanding from token launches into Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). Early institutions often deprioritize compliance, especially in Eastern markets, focusing on rapid profit. Engineered token launches and strategic treasury fundraising for less liquid assets create opportunities for front-running and price manipulation. Molidor stresses the need for better alignment and understanding between crypto founders and institutional investors to foster transparency.

‍Arthur Hayes: Monad a Risky "VC Coin" with 99% Plunge Potential Crypto veteran Arthur Hayes has warned that Monad, a new layer-1 blockchain, is a "high-risk project fueled by venture capital hype." He characterized it as a "high FDV, low-float VC coin," predicting a potential 99% price crash due to its token structure. Hayes believes such models lead to early surges followed by steep sell-offs as insider tokens unlock. Despite concerns about Monad, Hayes remains bullish on the broader crypto market, citing expected monetary expansion. He anticipates only a few protocols, including BTC, ETH, SOL, and ZEC, will endure the next cycle. Hayes also predicts a rise in privacy technologies and institutional adoption centered on Ethereum.
