ICE and Trade[XYZ] plan to bring Hyperliquid-based perps to the U.S.
Subject to regulatory approvals, ICE will operate U.S. regulated versions of Trade[XYZ]’s markets, leveraging their expertise as the leading deployer of real-world-asset perps on Hyperliquid.
The new venue will operate separately to ICE’s institutional futures franchise and offer a trading experience designed for retail participation.
Once live, U.S. traders will be able to trade 24/7 across a range of assets spanning the macro complex including:
*Crypto
*Equities
*Indices
*Commodities
*Forex

Users will access the platform through U.S.-regulated FCMs performing KYC/AML screening, including ICE's joint venture with OKX.
ICE and Trade[XYZ] will seek approvals to launch a new market built on Hyperliquid to operate KYC-compliant perp markets, including regulatory approvals to support leveraged trading.

The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in crypto.
First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT.
Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC.
At that point, it looked like the hacker’s money was trapped.
But apparently, he had already planned for that.
Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.
Then he walked away.
That’s where the story gets crazy.
Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet.
But it can’t freeze the ETH he already borrowed.
So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH.
And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back.
Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.
But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them.
Pretty insane when you think about it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The described Aave deposit used only ~60M USDT as collateral to borrow 19,762 WETH before freezes hit the main wallet, not the bulk of funds; Aave states the overcollateralized position is subject to normal liquidation with no material protocol risk.

"Nobody knows this, but I'll share it on this podcast." Pudgy Penguins' @LucaNetz just disclosed that Igloo built an instrument to list crypto tokens directly on the Nasdaq or NYSE, structured as a security so protocols can pay revenue back to holders. 🐧

SBF bought 5% of Cursor for $200k in 2022. The stake was liquidated by FTX bankruptcy trustees for the same amount $200k in 2023. Whoever bought that stake just cashed out a cool $3 billion profit from the SpaceX acquisition. A quick 15000x. You can get rich by venture investing.

Today, an exploit occurred affecting FloorProtocol V2 and BitmapPunks.
Both projects share a similar core contract structure: all fungible tokens issued are pegged 1:1 to the NFTs locked in the contract, allowing users to convert back and forth freely.

A Flooring exploit today turned a dust amount of WETH into a near-infinite fpToken balance, allowing the attacker to drain Flooring pools.
This led to a followup opportunist scooping up tokens from the now depleted pools and exchanging them for underlying NFTs.

If you invested $100,000 in SanDisk 8 months ago, you'd be a millionaire today.
If you invested the same $100,000 in $ETH 8 months ago, you'd be both poor and divorced today.
