a16z Crypto Explains the Logic Behind Leading Morpho Investment: Betting on an On-Chain Open Credit Network
a16z Crypto has published an article explaining the rationale behind leading the investment in Morpho. It points out that credit is a core mechanism for modern economic growth and capital allocation, and that blockchain-driven open credit networks have the potential to lower the cost of financial infrastructure, enhance market competition efficiency, and provide global users with broader financing and yield opportunities. a16z Crypto disclosed that it first engaged with the Morpho team in 2022. Since the global financial crisis, the private credit market has grown rapidly, reflecting the market’s demand for more direct and efficient financing models. Meanwhile, institutions can issue their own lending markets that share the network’s liquidity and network effects. The infrastructure in this area is expected to dismantle traditional financial intermediary systems and build a global open credit network.

“New Stock God” Serenity: Google’s $80 Billion Funding May Benefit AI Supply Chain Companies like Micron and TSMC
"New Stock God" Serenity stated that he had not anticipated Alphabet, Google's parent company, would need to seek financing to support its $80 billion AI capital expenditure plan, adding that the funds will be used for the AI infrastructure construction of hyperscale cloud service providers.According to his introduction, this financing includes a $40 billion ATM equity offering program, $30 billion in stock and related securities issuance, and a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway.Serenity believes that Alphabet's expansion of AI capital expenditures could benefit upstream supply chain companies such as Lumentum (LITE), Broadcom (AVGO), MediaTek, TSMC (TSM), and Micron (MU). However, he also noted that for Google shareholders, such a massive capital expenditure plan is not entirely supported by free cash flow, meaning its impact may not be entirely positive.
Radiant Capital Announces Shutdown, Unable to Recover from $50 Million Hack
According to The Block, the DeFi lending protocol Radiant Capital has announced it will officially cease operations. The protocol suffered a hack in October 2024, losing approximately $51 million; the attacker gained unauthorized access by deploying backdoor contracts on Arbitrum and BNB Chain. Earlier in 2024, the protocol had also been hit by a flash loan attack, resulting in a loss of roughly 1,900 ETH (approximately $4.5 million). After 18 months of recovery efforts, Radiant Capital stated that it has neither recovered a significant portion of the stolen funds nor secured new financing, declaring that “the DAO has no viable path forward.” The protocol will now enter a “maintenance mode”: its frontend and smart contracts remain accessible, allowing users to withdraw funds, repay loans, and manage positions. Any funds recovered in the future will be returned to affected users.
Humanity Says It Is Formulating a Victim Recovery Plan
Humanity released a post-mortem report on the H token security incident that occurred between June 8 and 9, stating that the incident was not caused by a smart contract vulnerability, but rather by a malware intrusion into a developer's device, which led to the leakage of private keys. Humanity stated that the attacker still holds the ProxyAdmin permissions for the ETH bridge and the BNB Chain token. Preliminary investigations confirmed that a colleague's device was infected with malware, which the attacker used to obtain the hot wallet private key of the administrator and the private keys for signing on 6 Gnosis Safe wallets. The team has hired an external security agency to conduct a forensic investigation and stated that they are formulating a recovery plan for affected users.

ZachXBT: UK's Sanctions on HTX Are Overreach, Exacerbating On-Chain Address Contamination
on-chain detective ZachXBT stated on platform X that the UK's recent inclusion of HTX in crypto sanctions lists constitutes overregulation.ZachXBT pointed out that, compared to previously sanctioned entities such as Huione, Blender, and Hydra, HTX has a large number of retail users in Asia. Placing HTX on the sanctions list has linked numerous legitimate on-chain addresses to the sanctions regime, worsening the issue of address contamination and gradually rendering the "risk" tag itself meaningless. He noted that while tracking on-chain cases, he has already been forced to ignore tags related to the sanctions category.Furthermore, ZachXBT also criticized UK regulators for failing to uncover a money laundering case involving $1.25 billion, arguing that this aligns with long-standing issues in how the UK handles crypto-related cases.

Grayscale: Hyperliquid Could Evolve into an On-Chain Financial Infrastructure Giant, Challenging the Traditional Derivatives Market
digital asset management firm Grayscale stated in its latest report that the decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid is rapidly evolving from a crypto perpetual contract exchange into a blockchain-based financial infrastructure platform. In the future, it may even challenge the traditional derivatives trading and exchange systems, growing into a "financial services giant."The report shows that Hyperliquid generated approximately $800 million in revenue in 2025, with a full-year perpetual contract trading volume of about $2.9 trillion and open interest of roughly $7 billion, capturing a significant share of the crypto derivatives market. Grayscale believes the platform is no longer limited to crypto trading. Through the HIP-3 and HIP-4 systems, it is expanding into tokenized stocks, commodities, and prediction markets, gradually building a 24/7 on-chain trading infrastructure.In another report, FalconX also pointed out that Hyperliquid is competing with traditional derivatives exchanges like the CME Group, as well as prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, and is making progress in new markets like Pre-IPO.The report also emphasized that regulation remains a key variable. Although Hyperliquid currently restricts access for US users, as the regulatory framework gradually clarifies and institutions like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Kraken explore perpetual contract products, this sector may see broader growth potential in the future.
