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

### Crypto News Brief: Satoshi Era BTC Address Moves, Signaling Response to New York Lawsuit June 6 – A Satoshi Era bitcoin address holding 35.55 BTC (valued at roughly $2.54 million) — untouched since March 2011 — made a transfer this week, marking one of the first visible responses from defendants in a New York lawsuit involving around 3.8 million BTC (worth approximately $285 billion). On-chain data shows the address sent 15 BTC to a new wallet on June 2, retaining 20.55 BTC as change. It first received the BTC on March 27, 2011, when bitcoin’s price was less than $1. This March, a plaintiff using the pseudonym “Noah Doe” filed a lawsuit in New York state court alongside two Wyoming LLCs, seeking ownership of roughly 3.8 million long-dormant bitcoins under New York’s Unclaimed Property Law and positioning themselves as the asset’s “discoverers.” The court approved on-chain alerts to relevant wallets via Bitcoin’s OP_RETURN field. In July 2025, advisory firm Salomon Brothers Strate

June 6 — Even as Bitcoin and Ethereum grapple with recent downturns, the ETF tracking Hyperliquid’s ecosystem token HYPE is drawing capital against the grain. The HYPE spot ETFs: Bitwise’s BHYP and 21Shares’ THYP, which launched in May, have amassed nearly $150 million in assets under management (AUM) in their early trading days, with net inflows on most sessions. Grayscale’s newly rolled out Hyperliquid Staking ETF (HYPG) currently holds $4.5 million in AUM. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan pointed out Hyperliquid has just ~1% market penetration right now, leaving most investors unfamiliar with the project. Hyperliquid is a decentralized perpetual contract trading platform built on its own independent blockchain; it surged fast last year amid the U.S.-Iran conflict by offering weekend crude oil trading, hitting around $1 billion in daily volume. Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl noted the HYPE ETF is bringing in new investors who weren’t previously active in crypto—

June 6 – Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement strongly condemning U.S. military strikes targeting radar and coastal surveillance facilities in Iran’s Sirik region and Qeshm Island. The statement labeled the attacks a “flagrant violation” of the ceasefire agreement and a deliberate act of military aggression against Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Tehran’s foreign ministry noted that repeated U.S. violations of the ceasefire further confirm Washington is not only refusing to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the region, but is instead recklessly endangering regional security with its actions. The U.S. government will bear full responsibility for all consequences arising from these moves and any potential escalation of the situation. The ministry reaffirmed Iran’s inherent right to self-defense, adding that Iran is ready to deploy all its capabilities and resources to protect its national sovereignty, security and interests.

June 6: The semiconductor sector faced a sharp pullback, pushing the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) — Wall Street’s well-known “fear gauge” — up nearly 40% in one day, its largest single-day gain since March. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) fell almost 10% intraday, ending a two-month rally that had lifted it by roughly 80%. Friday’s trading saw a record 7.8 million contracts traded in S&P 500 options, a 16% increase from the prior April high. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield rose on strong nonfarm payroll data, sparking a big jump in demand for put options on long-term Treasury ETFs (TLT) as well as investment-grade and high-yield bond ETFs. Brent Kochuba, founder of options analysis platform SpotGamma, pointed out that the recent abnormally high premium of single-stock options relative to index options is adjusting, signaling overheated chip stocks need a cool-down. Danny Kirsch, head of options at Piper Sandler, added that a large amount of leveraged ETF funds are concentrate

June 6 — The so-called "Stock God" Serenity shared in a post that they’re bullish on semiconductor foundry XFAB (also known as PhotonixFAB), arguing the company has what it takes to become the next early-stage TSEM (Tower Semiconductor). Right now, its market cap sits around $1.4 billion — a valuation that doesn’t yet account for its long-term upside in the Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) space. Serenity noted XFAB is gearing up for a major commercial turning point in CPO by the second half of 2027, leveraging technologies like Mask Transfer Printing (MTP) and Thin Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN). ASX filings also list PhotonixFAB as a key player in the CPO segment. They added that NVIDIA is currently testing XFAB’s transceiver and switch solutions to verify if they’re feasible for mass production, with Nokia handling the associated specification development and assembly. If the European supply chain — including Smartphotonics — works as planned, XFAB could land long-term orders from NVIDIA, fo
