📊 Hyperliquid Treasury Vehicles Now Hold Nearly 9% of HYPE Float
Hyperliquid-linked digital asset treasury companies (DATs) now hold close to 9% of HYPE’s circulating supply, surpassing comparable treasury holdings in #BTC, #ETH, #SOL, and #BNB. HYPE is the only DAT asset in the dataset trading at a positive mNAV, potentially facilitating capital raises and supply absorption. An ETF approval could lead to new passive inflows into a tighter float, supporting price amid existing institutional positioning and ongoing treasury demand. #etf

⚖️ Forbes: SBF’s Early VC Bets Could Have Been Worth an Extra $100B
Forbes reported that Sam Bankman-Fried’s early venture portfolio is being reassessed, estimating he could have been roughly $100 billion richer if he had not ended up in prison after FTX’s collapse. The portfolio included stakes in companies such as Anthropic, SpaceX, Robinhood, and AI coding tool Cursor, which was recently valued around $60 billion and Anthropic nearing $90 billion.
Much of the portfolio was later liquidated by FTX’s bankruptcy attorneys at valuations far below where some positions trade today, as the estate sold assets to repay creditors.

🚀 Arthur Hayes: “99% of Altcoins Could Go to Zero” as Market Clears Excess
At Consensus Miami 2026, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated that 99% of “shitcoins” could eventually go to zero. He framed this as a normal market-clearing process rather than an end to crypto, comparing it to the S&P 500’s long-term turnover since 1929. Hayes argued that industries evolve through constant replacement and that the altcoin ecosystem will continue to exist and develop.
