Streamex Corp. and Orca, a decentralized exchange (DEX) platform operating on Solana, launched new 24/7 secondary liquidity infrastructure for tokenized securities on Wednesday.

The collaboration between the two companies successfully established the GLDY pool on the Solana network.
Bitwise introduced the physically backed spot HYPE ETF (BHYP) on the NYSE, waiving the 0.34% sponsor fee on the first $500 million of AUM for month one. Within 48 hours the two U.S. HYPE ETFs saw a 50 % volume spike and $25.5 million net inflows, $8.8 million of which went to BHYP. Client purchases jumped to $35.9 million, an 18‑fold rise from the prior week, marking one of the biggest altcoin ETF debuts. Hyperliquid’s derivatives volume hit $2.9 trillion in 2025, a 400 % YoY increase, and the protocol captured 44 % of weekly blockchain fee revenue last week. Ninety‑seven percent of those fees are used to buy and burn $HYPE, creating a strong price‑support flywheel. The token has surged over 50 % in two weeks and now leads market performance. If eight‑figure monthly inflows persist, analysts expect HYPE to test $70‑$80, while moderate flows after the fee‑waiver could settle near $60. A slowdown below $5 million weekly could push the price under $55 and toward a $48 support level, where the Assistance Fund’s automated buybacks provide a floor. The fund has already purchased 28.5 million HYPE, spending $1.3 billion and delivering an annualized buyback rate of about 7 % of market cap. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is in presale at $0.0136, raising $32.7 million to launch the first Bitcoin layer‑2 with a Solana VM, offering sub‑second finality and cheap smart contracts on Bitcoin’s security layer. Staking is live with a 36 % APY for early participants. The project aims to unlock the $1.8 trillion of idle Bitcoin capital through programmable functionality.

Wall Street opened Wednesday with modest gains as the S&P 500 rose 0.07%, the Nasdaq 0.17%, and the Dow 0.18%. The uptick continues a steady upward trend seen earlier in the week. Light trading volume reflected the midweek lull and lack of major data releases. Tech stocks boosted the Nasdaq's outperformance, while utilities and consumer staples saw mild buying. No single catalyst drove the broad-based rise, indicating balanced risk appetite. The market absorbed recent Fed signals and geopolitical updates. Small daily moves add up, supporting a gradual market ascent for long-term investors. Short-term traders view the positive open as a tone-setter for the session. The lack of immediate shocks suggests a stable trading environment. Ahead, investors await jobless-claims and consumer-sentiment data later in the week. Further corporate earnings could shift sentiment. Overall, the market appears cautiously optimistic without signs of overheating.

The UK recently sanctioned several crypto organizations, including HTX, on suspicion of laundering funds. HTX was implicated for moving over $21 billion in risky and dubious funds. Analysis revealed that at least $7.64 billion of this movement was linked to Russian capital. The sanctions restrict UK citizens and prevent sanctioned firms from accessing UK banking systems. HTX operated as a major hub for various high-risk cryptocurrency transfers. It processed large volumes of BTC, ETH, and USDT for multiple entities. These included other intermediaries such as Garantex and Grinex. HTX also interacted with older laundering locations, confirming its central role in illicit finance flows. Russia's ability to evade sanctions remains strong through crypto laundering. Despite the isolation of major exchanges like Grinex, these markets continued processing funds. The evasion network is closely tied to Russian state banks and powerful oligarchs. This demonstrates the ongoing challenge to global financial controls.

Tokenized funds wrap traditional assets such as Treasuries or bond indexes into blockchain‑native shares. Ethereum remains the default chain for issuance, custody and settlement because of its mature security, tooling and the largest on‑chain liquidity pool. Institutions favour it for compliance‑ready standards and deep custodian support. Permissioned token frameworks like ERC‑3643 and vault contracts ERC‑4626 encode KYC, transfer caps and auditability. Transfer agents (e.g., Securitize, Tokeny) manage cap tables and corporate actions on‑chain. Oracles such as Chainlink provide proof‑of‑reserve data, while custodians like Fireblocks and Anchorage offer policy‑engineered wallet services. BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, Ondo’s tokenized Treasuries and Franklin Templeton’s Money Fund illustrate Ethereum‑first issuance with secondary distribution on EVM‑compatible L2s. Even when assets appear on cheaper chains, the canonical registry stays on Ethereum for audit and liquidity. Multichain strategies mirror the Ethereum cap table while reducing gas costs for investors. Launchers should pick a jurisdiction, a transfer agent, a compliant token standard, and integrate custody, oracle and L2 layers before auditing the code. Investors must verify legal eligibility, custodial safeguards, oracle resilience and secondary‑market depth. Smart‑contract bugs, bridge failures or regulatory shifts remain key risk vectors despite on‑chain efficiency.

On Tuesday, May 26, crypto ETF flows showed a mixed pattern. Bitcoin and ether ETFs together shed $368.75 million, extending their streaks of outflows. Altcoin products helped offset the losses, with HYPE ETFs drawing $20.45 million and XRP ETFs attracting $1.55 million. This inflow partially softened the overall drawdown. Solana ETFs recorded no trading activity on the same day.
Santiment reports XRP’s 30‑day MVRV has plunged to about –47%, the lowest level since December 2020, while the 365‑day ratio sits near –36%. These readings indicate that recent buyers are heavily underwater after months of selling pressure. The chart labels this area an “opportunity” zone, contrasting it with earlier high‑MVRV periods deemed risky for sellers. MVRV measures market value versus realized value, showing whether holders sit on unrealized gains or losses. Deeply negative short‑term MVRV suggests most short‑term participants have capitulated, reducing marginal selling pressure. Historically, such extreme undervaluation precedes strong rebounds when even modest positive news arrives. Despite a >50% drop in market value since last summer, long‑term investors remain hopeful about regulatory progress, ETF prospects, and Ripple’s adoption story. The recent drawdown followed a vigorous rally in late 2024‑early 2025 that attracted traders near local tops. While the metric isn’t a standalone timing signal, it implies that panic selling may be largely exhausted, limiting downside risk and opening room for upside.

Bitcoin failed to break the $78,000 resistance and slipped to about $75,680 within 24 hours. The move erased roughly $30 billion of market value, leaving the total capitalization near $1.5 trillion. The decline follows a sharp sell pressure triggered on Wednesday. The pressure stemmed from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which sold $1.289 billion of shares in a dark‑pool transaction on May 26. The trade involved 29,212,864 IBIT shares at a fund price of $43.16 per share. This represents the largest single IBIT sale recorded to date. IBIT has now logged seven straight days of cash outflows, totaling $1.33 billion, with a net liquidation of $192.44 million on the most recent day. Finbold’s AI model anticipates further downside for BTC, projecting a near‑4 % drop to around $72,884 by June 3, 2026. The outlook suggests continued pressure on U.S. spot BTC ETFs.
