According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, Strategy recently made a small-scale sale of Bitcoin after the performance conference call in May, which the market interpreted as testing market reactions and the flexibility of capital allocation strategies.The analyst pointed out that although Strategy remains highly optimistic about Bitcoin, the success and expansion of the STRC preferred stock financing tool may take precedence in the overall financial arrangements. This move breaks the company's market image of "buying only, not selling" that has lasted for nearly six years. Considering Strategy's strong market influence on Bitcoin demand, this shift is quietly rewriting market expectations.

According to CoinDesk, digital asset management company Grayscale pointed out in its latest report that the decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid is rapidly evolving from a cryptocurrency perpetual contract exchange into a blockchain financial infrastructure platform, and may even challenge traditional derivatives trading and exchange systems in the future, growing into a "financial services giant."The report shows that Hyperliquid is expected to achieve approximately $800 million in revenue by 2025, with an annual perpetual contract trading volume of about $2.9 trillion and an open interest size of around $7 billion, occupying a significant share of the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Grayscale believes that the platform is no longer limited to cryptocurrency trading but is expanding into tokenized stocks, commodities, and prediction markets through the HIP-3 and HIP-4 systems, gradually building an all-weather on-chain trading infrastructure.FalconX also pointed out in another report that Hyperliquid is competing with traditional derivatives exchanges such as CME Group and prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, making progress in new markets such as Pre-IPO. The report also emphasizes that regulation remains a key variable. Although Hyperliquid currently restricts access for U.S. users, as the regulatory framework becomes clearer and institutions like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Kraken explore perpetual contract products, this sector may welcome broader growth opportunities in the future.

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst James Seyffart disclosed that Grayscale Investments has submitted the fifth amendment document (Amendment No. 5) for the Hyperliquid Staking ETF to the U.S. SEC, with the fund code still being HYPG.

The core content disclosed in the previous document, including the HYPE staking mechanism and seed asset arrangements, remains unchanged.

Grayscale is a subsidiary of DCG and is the issuer of several crypto investment products, including the Bitcoin spot ETF GBTC.2026 was originally seen as a peak year for crypto company IPOs, but as trading volumes weaken and the performance of new listings like BitGo falls short of expectations, companies such as Kraken's parent company Payward, ConsenSys, and Ledger have also chosen to delay their listing plans.

Data shows that the implied volatility of Bitcoin has dropped to 36%, reaching a nearly 8-month low, indicating that the market expects BTC to continue fluctuating in the short term. The decline in volatility itself does not represent the direction of the market, but current derivatives market data suggests that shorts may have become overly concentrated. If BTC breaks through $82,000, it could trigger a large-scale short squeeze.CoinGlass liquidation heatmap shows that a large number of BTC short positions are concentrated in the $78,000--$83,000 range. Meanwhile, BTC has failed to regain the $90,000 level for nearly 4 months, and some shorts have begun to establish stronger bearish expectations. In addition, Glassnode data shows that the 30-day options Delta Skew for BTC currently remains at 14%, indicating a significant premium for put options compared to call options, reflecting that professional traders are still more concerned about the downside risk of BTC.The current expectation for BTC to pull back to $72,000 has been partially priced in by the market, but if BTC breaks through $82,000 with increased volume, it could trigger a more intense leveraged short covering rally.

According to on-chain analysis firm Lookonchain's tracking data, two wallets associated with Grayscale purchased and immediately staked 510,387 HYPE tokens, with a total value of approximately $24.95 million.This move comes as Grayscale advances its HYPE spot investment product, having submitted an initial S-1 registration statement in January 2026 and amended the documents on May 11 to include direct network staking provisions, intending to list on Nasdaq under the ticker HYPG.Coinbase Custody is responsible for the security of the underlying tokens, while BNY Mellon provides administrative and operational support. The large-scale institutional purchases and locked staking have reduced the circulating supply in the market, pushing the HYPE spot price toward a historical high around May 20. The eventual listing of the product still depends on the approval results from federal securities regulators.

According to The Block, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a lengthy article on the X platform, responding to the recent turmoil within the Ethereum Foundation and the wave of researcher departures. Buterin stated that the foundation is choosing "long-term survival over being large and comprehensive," reducing ETH sales, and focusing on Ethereum's anti-censorship, open-source, privacy, and security attributes known as CROPS. He emphasized that the post represents his personal views, and his power within the organization will continue to diminish, which aligns with his wishes.Buterin believes that the EF should be understood as "a node with a clear purpose, alongside other nodes," rather than the center of Ethereum. He pointed out that the foundation holds about 0.16% of ETH, while other blockchain foundations typically hold 10% to 50% of their own token supply. The foundation will focus on key activities that only it can drive, with some respected contributors and projects remaining outside the foundation, which will help attract external capital.In terms of technical direction, Buterin proposed three priorities: achieving "provably secure Ethereum" through AI-assisted formal verification, usable chain consensus, and minimizing intermediaries. He explicitly opposed Ethereum competing solely on speed, calling that "a path to mediocrity." Finally, Buterin stated that the EF will be smaller than in previous years, its stance will be more distinct, and in some cases, its position may be difficult to understand, but it will also be more enduring. The foundation's new long-term operational model should stabilize in the coming months.
