🚨 LATEST: Despite recent FUD, $HYPE is leading the perp DEX market with 7x more open interest than Lighter, according to CryptoRank. Lower turnover paired with this strong open interest suggests the activity is more organic not just speculative hype.

COINOTAG News, citing official sources on December 26, reports that the Hyperliquid Foundation has officially burned HYPE tokens from the Reserve Fund System address, equaling 11.068% of the circulating supply. The accompanying governance vote leveraged a stake-weight based mechanism; results showed 85% of staked votes in favor of the burn, with 7% against and 8% abstaining. This action underscores tokenomics discipline and governance transparency, as the burn reduces available supply and demonstrates a commitment to long-term value, aligning holder interests and market expectations.

Bitcoin will face a quantum threat – breakthroughs in quantum computing will force major players to seriously consider protection. But there's no real danger for BTC yet. Large fintechs (Stripe, Ramp, Brex) will massively switch to stablecoins for international transfers – faster and cheaper than traditional rails. Crypto loans will reach a new level – AI will analyze your transaction history and behavior to issue loans faster and on better terms than banks. The prediction market will split: some will become a financial instrument with leverage and derivatives, others a cultural phenomenon for enthusiasts. AI agents will start paying for services via x402 en masse – like Apple Pay, but automatically. Some services will receive more than 50% of their income from such payments. Solana (#SOL) will overtake Base in microtransaction volume. Artificial intelligence will become the standard in cryptocurrency applications – assistants for project analysis, on-chain data tracking, and trading ideas will appear almost everywhere. Tokenized gold will become a hit in the RWA sector – a way to circumvent physical gold restrictions and protect against dollar problems. Ready-made Privacy-as-a-Service solutions will emerge, especially for the corporate sector + a unified Dev-Ex for ensuring confidentiality (developer interface). Companies with cryptocurrency reserves (DAT) will consolidate – only major players will remain. The border between tokens and stocks will begin to collapse. Governance tokens without real control will survive the crisis. Tokens with the right to exchange for stocks will appear, and their legal status will be clarified. On the perpetual contract market, Hyperliquid (#HYPE) will strengthen its leadership position, and USDC will lose its dominance on DEX in favor of profitable stablecoins #USDe and #USDH. Proprietary AMMs (Automated Market Makers) will go beyond a single blockchain and start operating in several networks at once + will account for more than half of the trading volume on Solana (#SOL). AMMs will even start being used for RWA evaluation
