Whale Tracking: HYPE hedging whale turns one-sided bullish, simultaneously buys $14.2 million worth of spot and derivatives contracts.

1 hours ago

According to TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight) monitoring, the arbitrage whale with the address starting with 0xf17, which had previously been continuously reducing HYPE’s spot-futures hedge positions, has now shifted to directional long positions, pushing its net long exposure on HYPE to around 222,000 coins. In the early hours, the whale first bought 39,700 HYPE spot coins in a concentrated 7-minute window, with a trading volume of roughly $3.251 million at an average price of $81.98. It then opened 136,000 long positions in HYPE perpetual contracts, totaling $11.026 million at an entry average of $81.05. Combined, the two purchases amounted to approximately $14.277 million. As of press time, the whale’s holdings stand at: 86,000 HYPE spot coins worth ~$7.008 million; 10x fully margined long positions of 136,000 HYPE perpetual contracts, valued at ~$11.087 million, with an entry average of $81.05, unrealized profit of ~$61,000, and liquidation price of $38.64. The total value of its HYPE spot and futures positions is ~$18.095 million. Calculated at current prices, the new spot and perpetual longs added yesterday have generated ~$42,000 in temporary unrealized profit. Since August 18, this whale has repeatedly traded HYPE in band long positions, with cumulative profits from closed related transactions reaching ~$320,000. It currently has 100 spot sell orders placed in the $83.5–$110 range, planning to sell 50,000 HYPE coins for a nominal ~$4.837 million, at a weighted average sell price of $96.75, covering ~58.1% of its spot holdings. HYPE is now trading at $81.50, down ~0.9% in 24 hours. Its perpetual futures open interest is ~$2.086 billion, with a trading volume of ~$752 million, spot volume of ~$118 million, and current hourly funding rate of +0.00125%. Prior news: HYPE’s arbitrage space narrowed, funding rate dropped, leading the whale to withdraw $11 million in hedge positions.

Claude now has two browser functionalities: it can either open web pages on its own, or directly take over Chrome.

Insight Beating AI Flash News: Anthropic has rolled out two new browser capabilities for Claude in one update. The Claude Cowork desktop version now includes a built-in standalone browser, opening web tasks directly in the sidebar. Claude can independently browse web pages, click elements, input text, and fill out forms—no Chrome extension needed. Meanwhile, Claude in Chrome has exited beta and is now officially available to all paid plans. The core difference between the two is login status: Claude Cowork uses Claude’s own browser, isolated from the user’s regular browser, and by default cannot access the user’s tabs, bookmarks, or passwords; users can import login credentials for individual sites. Claude in Chrome, by contrast, operates directly on the user’s open, logged-in Chrome browser, making it better suited for tasks like handling emails, CRMs, or web pages being edited. The Chrome version has also unlocked automatic operations. Previously, Claude required user approval for nearly every action step; now, it first scans web pages for malicious instructions and verifies that planned actions align with the original task. If security checks pass, it can proceed independently. In Anthropic’s latest red team tests, Sonnet 5 and Opus 5 had no successful prompt injection attacks, while Fable 5 recorded a 0.3% success rate. The company, however, acknowledged that such risks cannot be fully eliminated.

Tornado Cash co-founder claims Chainalysis was involved in operating Tornado Cash but was granted immunity, questioning the US government’s double standards.

Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm published a post challenging the U.S. government’s handling of his case, citing public court filings that blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis operated the Tornado Cash Relayer in 2022 and collected fees from transactions routed through the tool. Storm said his legal team had previously summoned Chainalysis personnel to testify in court, but Chainalysis filed a motion to quash the subpoena, which the U.S. government supported. Court records also show a Chainalysis witness planned to invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying. Storm questioned that Chainalysis—a government partner for blockchain tracking—actually operated Tornado Cash infrastructure and profited, while he faces ongoing criminal prosecution for his role in developing Tornado Cash. Storm added that his case’s retrial has been delayed by the court to April 26, 2027, and his motion for acquittal remains pending.

Bybit Expands Its RWA Earn Product Line, Adds nOPAL Focused on Brazilian Credit Card Receivable Yields

Bybit’s institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) yield platform RWA Earn (branded as Bybit RWA Wealth Management) has added a new nOPAL product, further expanding its institutional business and product portfolio. nOPAL is built on Brazilian credit card receivables, managed by BlackOpal Finance and deployed on open finance platform Plume. Its yield stems from the spread generated when Brazilian merchants sell future credit card receivables at a discount; after acquiring institutions settle via Visa and Mastercard networks, the discounted portion is converted into investor returns. The product hedges Brazilian real (BRL) vs. U.S. dollar (USD) exchange rate volatility using institutional-grade non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts, with yields paid in USD, and maintains a dedicated liquidity reserve to support redemptions. As of August 2026, nOPAL’s 30-day rolling yield stands at approximately 12%, with total value locked (TVL) exceeding $70 million. Since November 2025, the strategy has recorded zero defaults and zero credit losses. The product has obtained an investment-grade risk rating from Cicada Partners and secured over $300 million in institutional committed capital. nOPAL subscriptions and redemptions on Bybit RWA Earn are priced in USDC, with a minimum investment of 500 USDC and no subscription or redemption fees. To celebrate the product’s launch, eligible users will receive an additional promotional annualized rate of up to 5% on top of the underlying product’s returns.
