Orca, for those of you who don’t spend 12 hours a day doomscrolling crypto Twitter and arguing about Solana vs Ethereum, is one of the biggest decentralized exchanges on Solana, and now they’re launching new infrastructure aimed at bringing regulated real-world assets onchain. Because of course they are. Crypto firms are all currently pushing deeper into tokenized stocks, commodities and other traditional financial products, a market everyone in the space swears is the next big thing, which is exactly what they said about NFTs, and look how that turned out.

The protocol’s Arbitrum deployer key, as secure as a screen door on a submarine, was compromised. The attacker, with a grin wider than the Grand Canyon, minted 5.4 trillion fake Vote-Boosted sdCRV tokens-enough to make even the most seasoned farmer blush. Then, like a bandit fleeing a one-horse town, they swapped ’em for ether faster than you can say “smart contract.”

The Assistance Fund uses almost all (97%) of the fees generated by Hyperliquid to automatically buy back and remove HYPE tokens from circulation daily. As of May 2026, the Fund had spent over $1.3 billion on these buybacks, accumulating around 28.5 million tokens, which were worth $1.5 billion at their highest price.

For traders accustomed to on-chain leverage, this feels like waking up in a parallel universe. For asset managers, it’s just another Tuesday after spot BTC and ETH ETFs. But here’s the kicker: institutionalizing a perp DEX token requires more than just slapping a wrapper on it. It’s a playbook with pitfalls, and we’re here to navigate it-with a healthy dose of sarcasm, of course.

According to the scribes at crypto.news, Ethereum traded near $2,086 on Wednesday, clinging to the psychological $2,000 support like a drowning man to a raft. Weeks of sideways consolidation have left her weary, like a peasant after a long day in the fields, with no end in sight.

Bitcoin Japan invested in MicroStrategy through its U.S. subsidiary, BTCJPN US LLC. The investment was made using a specific financial vehicle managed by a U.S.-based investment firm, as detailed in a recent press release to crypto.news.

From my analysis, the token is currently trading about 3% above the lower boundary of its established channel. What’s concerning is the on-chain data – I’m seeing weakening conviction from long-term holders and a decreasing buffer for short-term holders. Essentially, this setup looks vulnerable, and a single day of negative price action could trigger a breakdown.

According to CryptoQuant’s Darkfost, the largest 10 withdrawals of LINK from the Binance exchange have reached a new high for 2025.

As I’ve been directing things, we’re establishing clear guidelines – what I believe are the best standards for states to follow. I’m strongly opposed to individuals like Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker being the ones to dictate those rules; I don’t believe they should have that influence.

This is the first time someone in the country has been arrested and prosecuted for a “rug pull” on a decentralized exchange (DEX), according to Digital Asset. The case falls under the new Virtual Asset User Protection Act.
