According to TNW, San Francisco-based startup Dream has emerged from stealth, announcing the closing of a $17 million seed funding round. The investors include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), SV Angel, XYZ, and Zigg Capital. Dream was co-founded by Andy Elder and Arjun Mathur, who each spent around a decade working at Palantir. The company develops an "architectural world model," trained using over 100 million square feet of permitted U.S. building data. The model understands the spatial relationships between building components, such as the routing of HVAC ducts through walls.

Angel investors include Mask Network, Far East Group, Logoman, Hoopi, and Legit App. Built on BNB Chain, Renaiss aims to connect third-party vaults, card shops, and custodial nodes via its Renaiss Vault OS, while Renaiss.XYZ serves as the application layer enabling users to access the on-chain collectibles market.

Notably, Renaiss has been selected as a project in the third cohort of YZi Labs’ EASY Residency incubation program.
Don Wilson posted on X stating that after the New York Stock Exchange's parent company pushed to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. market, he raised questions about the advantages of on-chain perpetual contracts, the transparency of positions and trades, whether the priority fee mechanism complies with CFTC core principles, and whether offshore and onshore order book liquidity can be merged. He noted that on-chain trading can reduce friction in an environment that requires no trust and identity verification, or receive purchased assets in real time through atomic transactions, but perpetual contracts themselves are not assets, so the latter advantage does not apply; he also asked whether Stan Druckenmiller regards real-time trackability of positions and trades as an advantage. Previously, ICE and trade[XYZ] announced plans to use Hyperliquid as infrastructure to deploy, after obtaining regulatory approval, a perpetual contract market covering crypto assets, equities, commodities, foreign exchange and other physical assets for U.S. traders, with ICE operating the regulated market and clearing architecture.

Hyperliquid co-founder iliensinc responded to the abnormal SK Hynix pricing incident on Trade.xyz this morning, stating that Hyperliquid is a permissionless blockchain, and different teams can deploy and operate markets based on its infrastructure. Among them, the xyz:SKHYNIX perpetual contract was deployed and is operated by the XYZ team. The XYZ team is currently investigating the situation and will release updates once a conclusion is reached.Iliensinc also explained that the HIP-3 market deployer is responsible for providing data such as the mark price, oracle, and external perpetual contract price.

The other two prices are provided by the deployer, and together these three influence the final mark price.
