Odaily News, Ansem commented on X platform regarding "Kraken might become the first compliant CEX to deploy HIP-3," stating that if Hyperliquid aims to conduct compliant business in the US, it may need to find a partner that is both familiar with its product architecture and possesses complete regulatory qualifications. Kraken could be one of the potential choices.He pointed out that after Kraken's recent acquisitions of NinjaTrader and Bitnomial, its parent company Payward now holds FCM, DCM, and DCO licenses under the CFTC regulatory framework. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid has already established the corresponding infrastructure through HIP-3, meaning Kraken could theoretically serve as a new access point, offering related products in a manner similar to TradeXYZ. Arjun Sethi has consistently emphasized publicly that Kraken aims to play a "positive-sum game." Among existing US centralized exchanges, Kraken's potential may be severely underestimated. If this partnership actually materializes, it would be a major strategic move for Kraken to expand its market influence and add a significant business line.

Odaily News: Solana Company (HSDT) has announced its voting stance on the first three Solana Governance Proposals (SGP): supporting the passage of SGP-0001 "Solana Constitution," opposing SGP-0002, which would double the rate of inflation reduction, and opposing SGP-0003, which would change transaction fees from fixed to floating. On-chain voting is expected to begin on August 22.Solana Company stated that it supports the Solana Constitution because the new governance system allows every staker to vote directly, and token holders can always override the votes of the operators they delegate to, which helps institutions participate in network decision-making. Regarding the other two proposals, the company noted that it opposes their current timing, not the direction of the adjustments. The company stated that at a time when institutions are considering entering Solana, they place greater importance on rule stability and predictability. Adjusting core economic parameters such as inflation rates and fees at this stage could make institutions still on the sidelines more hesitant. The company said it would support revisiting discussions on reducing inflation once SOL sees sustained net capital inflows, and would also be willing to reconsider switching to floating fees once the ecosystem has fully adapted.
