Hyperliquid Becomes Wall Street’s Weekend Perps Hub

Coinkite has warned every user who generated a seed on a Coldcard Mk3 running firmware 4.0.1 through 5.0.3 to treat the wallet as potentially exposed and migrate its bitcoin. The security advisory followed research by Block’s Bitcoin engineering and security teams, which identified weak seed-generation behavior while investigating remotely drained wallets. Coinkite’s immediate warning covers Mk3 firmware released from March 2021 onward. The company’s early analysis says Mk4, Q and Mk5 devices are not affected by the issue behind its...

Bitcoin recovered above $64,400 on Sunday after briefly slipping below the $63,800 support level watched by technical traders. BTC traded near $64,491, up about 0.6%, after moving between $63,765 and $64,520 during the session.

Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson said Bitcoin could lose its position as the largest cryptocurrency if its governance process fails to deliver the upgrades needed to address quantum-computing risks. The issue with Bitcoin is it’s frozen in time. It’s very difficult to change anything,” Hoskinson said during an interview on The Starting Block on Friday. Bitcoin’s resistance to rapid protocol changes helped the network survive regulatory pressure, market collapses and the disappearance of its creator, Hoskinson said. Quantum computing would present...

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...

Agentic trading is a form of market automation where an AI agent can analyze data, reason through a goal, use tools, prepare trades, and sometimes execute orders through an exchange API, wallet, smart account, broker connection, or onchain protocol. It moves the conversation beyond simple trading bots because the agent is not only following a fixed trigger. It can combine market data, user instructions, portfolio context, and approved tools before deciding what action fits the rules it has been given....

Crypto data aggregators turn scattered market information into one usable research layer. Instead of checking separate exchanges, DEX pools, block explorers, wallet dashboards, token pages, protocol analytics, and portfolio apps, users can compare price, market capitalization, trading volume, liquidity, supply, exchange pairs, contract addresses, DeFi activity, and on-chain movement from one place. Crypto markets are fragmented across venues, chains, and token versions, so the same asset can trade on centralized exchanges, several decentralized exchanges, multiple networks, and wrapped or bridged...
