Hyperliquid Becomes Wall Street’s Weekend Perps Hub

Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings sold 13,597 BTC for approximately $1.1 billion after September 30, using $750 million to eliminate its Bitcoin-backed loans as the company redirects capital toward artificial intelligence infrastructure and data-center development. The Bitcoin was sold at an average price of $81,039, while the debt repayment released 17,477 BTC previously pledged as collateral. The transactions reduced the proportion of MARA's remaining holdings loaned or pledged from 57% at the end of September to less than 5%. The sale...

Strategy's $64.2 billion Bitcoin investment was approximately $6.85 billion underwater early Saturday after the cryptocurrency fell toward $67,400, while index provider MSCI confirmed that it would remove the company from its major equity benchmarks at the end of November. The Michael Saylor-led company holds 850,364 BTC purchased at an average $75,456 each, according to its latest SEC filing. At $67,400 per coin, the treasury is worth approximately $57.3 billion, leaving an unrealized decline of about 10.7% against its aggregate acquisition...

Strategy's total Bitcoin investment now stands at approximately $64.16 billion, with an average acquisition price of $75,456 per coin. Bitcoin traded near $74,570...

Bitcoin plunged below $76,000 on November 5, losing more than 5% as a sharp sell-off in U.S. technology stocks spread across cryptocurrency markets and triggered over $1 billion in leveraged position liquidations. Ethereum dropped approximately 7.5% to $2,250, while Solana fell nearly 8% to $89. XRP declined more than 6%, BNB lost roughly 4%, and several smaller cryptocurrencies suffered steeper losses as investors reduced exposure to riskier assets. Bitcoin briefly approached $75,000 after trading above $80,000 a day earlier, reversing...

An Ethereum Foundation-linked wallet sold another 2,500 ETH on November 14, bringing its reported four-day sales to 7,500 ETH worth approximately $14.52 million as the cryptocurrency fell below $1,850. The latest transaction exchanged 2,500 ETH for approximately 4.597 million USDS through CoW Swap, with the proceeds subsequently transferred to a Safe multisignature wallet. The transfer was executed at an implied average price of approximately $1,839 per ETH, below the roughly $1,936 average realized across the four-day selling period. The wallet,...

Abstract, the consumer-focused Ethereum Layer 2 backed by Pudgy Penguins parent Igloo Inc., will shut down on December 15, 2026, ending a nearly three-year effort to build a blockchain around consumer crypto. Users must move their assets before the deadline through Abstract’s official Migration Hub or native bridge. Assets remaining on the network after December 15 will become inaccessible. The native bridge currently carries an expected withdrawal delay of roughly three hours. The October 6 wind-down notice also warned users...

Ledger has patched a vulnerability in its Ethereum hardware-wallet app that could allow a malicious dApp to replace a transaction during the approval process while the device continued showing users the transaction they originally reviewed. Security firm TestMachine disclosed the signature-substitution flaw on August 21 after reproducing it on Ledger hardware. Ledger had already shipped Ethereum app version 1.22.2 on August 12, with its release history listing security fixes for the update. Malicious dApp Could Change the Transaction Before Signing...

Base creator Jesse Pollak has pushed back against criticism that Coinbase is selling ETH while benefiting from Ethereum, pointing to the exchange’s roughly 150,000 ETH corporate position and years of investment across the network. Pollak argued that Coinbase has held about 150,000 ETH through multiple market cycles, while describing the company as the largest ETH holder outside dedicated digital asset treasury companies by a wide margin. Coinbase’s latest regulatory filing backs up the scale of that position. The company held...

A crypto trading bot is a chain of dependencies. It reads a position, prices it, decides, places an order, and confirms settlement. Every one of those steps is an API call, and a failure at any single step stops the strategy. The provider choice shapes what a bot can actually do more than the strategy logic does. The common mistake is searching for one API that covers everything. No such API exists in 2026. Market data providers do not route...

Polymarket and Kalshi helped turn prediction markets into a mainstream trading category, but neither platform fits every trader. Access varies by country, market selection can lean heavily toward certain topics, and the tools available for entering, managing, and automating positions differ sharply across platforms. The strongest alternatives are not identical copies. Some emerging prediction markets platforms focus on professional order controls, some concentrate on fast crypto and financial markets, and others use onchain infrastructure or play-money forecasting. Users unfamiliar with...

A funded crypto trading account gives a trader access to more notional capital after they prove they can follow a firm’s risk rules. The usual route starts with a paid crypto prop firm challenge that requires a profit target without breaching daily or overall loss limits. Passing is not only about making money. Drawdown control, minimum trading days and rule compliance determine whether the account survives. The evaluation fee can be lost, and crypto prop firms use different account models,...

Tokenized stock perps allow traders to take long or short exposure to companies, ETFs and equity indexes through crypto-native derivatives markets. Positions can use stablecoin collateral, remain open without an expiry date and continue trading when the main stock exchange is closed. The trader receives price exposure, not ownership of the referenced shares. The interface often looks identical to a crypto perpetual futures market. The risk does not. A stock-linked contract can remain active overnight, through weekends and during holidays...

Gemini's former UK and European operations are being acquired by stablecoin payments company KAST in a transaction reportedly valued at less than $10 million, months after the Winklevoss-founded exchange withdrew from both markets. The acquisition is supported by KAST's European recruitment plans, which explicitly reference the integration of Gemini's acquired UK and EU entities and the transfer of regional employees. Neither company has publicly confirmed the purchase price or disclosed the full transaction terms. Gemini has not announced the disposal...

Gnosis Pay has confirmed a security breach exposing sensitive customer information, including payment card numbers, security codes, residential addresses and cryptocurrency wallet details, raising concerns about identity theft and targeted attacks against crypto holders. The company detected unauthorized access to its legacy consumer card infrastructure on November 3 and disclosed the incident on November 6. Its security team began containment within two hours, subsequently replacing compromised credentials and addressing the vulnerability. Gnosis Pay said customer funds remained unaffected and its...

Binance has revoked all API keys connected to third-party trading platform SignalPlus following a potential security issue, cutting off automated access to customer accounts as cryptocurrency exchanges move to prevent unauthorized trading. The November 5 precautionary measure follows a security warning involving SignalPlus, which provides trading tools for cryptocurrency options and derivatives markets. Deribit also removed API credentials associated with the platform after reviewing its exposure. Binance confirmed that its systems were unaffected and customer funds remained safe. Deribit similarly...

Trade.xyz, the Hyperliquid-based trading platform offering perpetual futures tied to stocks, indexes and commodities, has restored its technical documentation following unauthorized activity on its GitBook pages, while maintaining a warning against clicking links as investigators assess the breach. The November 2 incident affected the platform's documentation infrastructure, with the team restoring its previous version by 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time (14:15 UTC). Trade.xyz has not reported any confirmed losses, trading interruptions or disruption to on-chain settlements, although it has yet to...
