Hyperliquid Strategies Increases Equity Funding Facility to $2.5 Billion
Odaily Odaily News: Nasdaq-listed digital asset treasury company Hyperliquid Strategies has increased its equity funding facility with New York investment bank and broker-dealer Chardan Capital Markets from $1 billion to $2.5 billion. The agreement allows Chardan to purchase newly issued common shares of Hyperliquid Strategies in stages, subject to conditions such as pricing and trading volume, and resell them on the public market.Hyperliquid Strategies has previously raised $647 million through this funding mechanism and expanded its treasury holdings to approximately 29.3 million HYPE tokens. The $2.5 billion figure represents the maximum capacity of the facility, not the amount already raised; the company's ability to obtain funds by issuing new shares may dilute existing shareholders' equity.Hyperliquid Strategies stated that although it shares the same name as Hyperliquid and holds its native token, it operates independently and has no affiliation with Hyperliquid.

Any additional issuances exceeding this cap require shareholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq rules, aimed at mitigating the dilutive impact on existing shareholders caused by low-priced offerings.

The company said the continued expansion of its HYPE holdings is aimed at building a "fortress balance sheet" to strengthen long-term support for the Hyperliquid ecosystem.Market observers believe that sustained institutional allocation to HYPE assets has further reinforced expectations regarding the Hyperliquid ecosystem's value-capture capabilities, driving related ecosystem tokens like PURR higher.

Bitwise CIO: Five Structural Changes Bolster the Bull Case for the Crypto Market
According to Bitcoin.com, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that the bullish thesis for 2026 is more fundamentally grounded than the crypto market cycles of 2014, 2018, and 2022, primarily driven by five structural changes: the advancement of regulatory frameworks, the scaling of stablecoin adoption, the tokenization of real-world assets, protocol tokens generating genuine revenue supported by buyback and burn mechanisms, and the demand for currency debasement triggered by expanding sovereign debt. Hougan noted that the total stablecoin market capitalization surpassed $300 billion by mid-2026, with steady usage across trading, payments, cross-border remittances, and settlements; meanwhile, asset tokenization is progressively transitioning from experimental phases into regulated financial infrastructure. He also highlighted Hyperliquid as a prime example, noting that the protocol generated over $800 million in revenue last year, allocating roughly 99% of it toward buybacks and burns of the HYPE token. On Bitcoin, Hougan suggested that rising government borrowing levels could further cement its role as a hedge against currency debasement, though he emphasized that the associated valuation models represent scenario analyses rather than definitive price forecasts.

738,600 USDC Transferred Out, Hyperliquid User Account Compromised with Over 10,000 HYPE Unstaked
Odaily News – A Hyperliquid user's account was compromised through unauthorized access, with approximately 738,600 USDC transferred out and an additional 10,287 HYPE unstaked. The affected account is identified by a specific address, with some of the stolen funds flowing to an address suspected to be associated with Bitget. As of the time of verification, the 10,287 HYPE remained in the staking balance and had not yet entered the withdrawal queue. If the attacker proceeds to initiate cWithdraw, the affected assets would be further transferred after a 7-day waiting period. In two similar recent cases, staked assets were stolen a second time due to the lack of a user-triggerable emergency pause mechanism, resulting in losses exceeding $1.1 million. Relevant recommendations include introducing a Guardian or Recovery mechanism that users can pre-enable, which would only temporarily pause withdrawals, transfers, and authorization changes. The pause would expire automatically, and restoration would require a time lock and evidence review, with all actions recorded on-chain.

However, if meme coins stage a massive comeback and enter mainstream markets, they are expected to become a primary focus of crypto policy efforts.

Multicoin Capital Partner Claims Crypto Market Has Bottomed, Remains Bullish on SOL, Hyperliquid, and ZEC
: Tushar Jain, Managing Partner of Multicoin Capital, stated that the crypto market has bottomed out and entered a turning point. Market sentiment has truly hit rock bottom, recent major hacking incidents and other news have not triggered large-scale sell-offs, application adoption rates continue to rise, and there is a decoupling between price and fundamentals. He maintains a long-term bullish outlook on Solana, believing SOL represents the correct architecture for spot trading and tokenized securities. Simultaneously, he is bullish on Hyperliquid's leading position in the derivatives space and currently holds significant positions in both.Regarding ZEC, he stated that Multicoin has accumulated a considerable proportion of its supply and believes it represents the industry's return to "cypherpunk" values, with the potential to enter the top five by market cap. In terms of position management, he adopts a "three-way split" strategy: immediately buying the first third, dollar-cost averaging the second third, and reserving the final third as flexible capital to cope with significant market downturns. During the Zcash code vulnerability incident, after the team observed and confirmed no hacker exploitation, they significantly increased their positions.
Arthur Hayes: Rising Oil Prices, AI-Related IPOs, and Trump's Anti-AI Rhetoric Could Pop the AI Bubble and Drag Down the Crypto Market
Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.

Analysis also showed that several tokens (including USOR, VDOR, DROID, WCOR, UGOR) were used to inflate market caps before being dumped to zero.
