June 14 – Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 framework, launched in October 2025, has hit major milestones: total trading volume has surged past $200 billion since its debut, while open interest (OI) reached a historical high of $3.2 billion this June—signaling a new era for on-chain traditional asset derivatives. A pivotal development came when S&P Dow Jones Indices officially licensed Trade[XYZ] to roll out the world’s first S&P 500 perpetual contract on Hyperliquid. The product provides 24/7 leverage access to eligible non-U.S. investors, settles in USDC, and has no expiration dates or rollover costs. It topped $1 billion in daily trading volume in its first week, quickly climbing into the platform’s top 10 most active trading pairs.

On June 14, CoinFund founder Jake Brukhman argued that AI models come with inherent centralizing tendencies—making them a prime target for government regulation and control. Anthropic’s latest export control compliance move only reinforces this trend, he noted. Brukhman pointed to decentralized networks as a critical counterbalance, offering a path to build sovereign, open, public decentralized AI. The core challenge here boils down to compute power: while it’s widely assumed only trillion-dollar tech giants can afford cutting-edge model training, abundant global GPU capacity exists. The missing piece? Developing new distributed training algorithms. He highlighted teams like Gensyn, Prime Intellect, Bagel, Pluralis, Nous Research, Macrocosmos AI, and Covenant AI pioneering this work. Early on, many wrote off distributed training as unfeasible, but the reality is it’s not only doable—it can be cheaper and nearly as efficient as traditional solutions, he explained. Another major
