Last week, funds have flowed into #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and #Hyperliquid.

According to official announcements, HyperLink has secured $2.5 million in funding, with investors including Alliance, North Island Ventures, Reverie, Node Capital, Breed VC, and SmartestMoney. Positioned as a prime broker for Hyperliquid, HyperLink focuses on low fees, private order flow, and optimal execution. It reduces trading costs via volume aggregation and staking to unlock VIP rates, while masking user wallet addresses—markets only see HyperLink’s transaction flow, and the platform can access Hyperliquid’s full liquidity through the same API. HyperLink stated that its platform routed a cumulative $254 million in trading volume over the past month, accounting for roughly 0.1% of Hyperliquid’s total volume. Currently in an invite-only phase, it already makes up 1% of Hyperliquid Builder’s trading volume. The company’s next goal is to increase its share of Hyperliquid’s total trading volume to 10%.

U.S. President Donald Trump posted that, following the historic White House Superintelligence Agreement, the world’s most prominent tech companies gathered to confirm their accountability to the American people. I am announcing the establishment of the Superintelligence Task Force (SIF), whose mandate is to coordinate relevant work across the federal government and ensure the U.S. maintains its global leadership in the superintelligence field. Many argue that superintelligence is more transformative than the Industrial Revolution and the internet, as it will safeguard the interests of all Americans and improve their daily lives. The Superintelligence Task Force will coordinate communication between the federal government and consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, critical infrastructure providers, and superintelligence firms. It will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering & Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Cooper, and will report to the U.S. President (myself) and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

According to a New York Times report, Binance founder CZ (Changpeng Zhao) stated in a recent interview that he was assigned to Lompoc II, a minimum-security prison in California, which later also held FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). Before reporting to the facility, CZ assembled a team of advisors who taught him the unwritten rules of prison politics. One advisor also communicated with other inmates, who agreed to help CZ adjust to prison life. In August 2024, CZ left Lompoc Prison and was transferred to a halfway house. However, due to issues with his immigration status, he had to spend his final two weeks in a local jail, passing the time in his cell by doing push-ups and sit-ups. On the day of his release, it took just 26 minutes from CZ being discharged from custody to his private plane taking off.
