Hira (@Hiraweb3) reportedUSDe from @ethena_labs landing on @krakenfx with a 4.5% yield sounds simple. but the interesting part is what sits underneath. the yield isn’t fixed. it’s driven by perp funding, which means it can move significantly as market conditions change. we’ve already seen funding-heavy periods push USDe yields well above 15%. now Kraken is packaging that exposure into something regular users can access without dealing with delta-neutral strategies themselves. the bigger question: how many people clicking “earn 4.5%” actually understand what they’re holding?

Lorenzo Valente (@LorenzoARK) reportedWhy @HyperliquidX Should Acquire Gemini: The Regulated HIP-3/4 Deployer in the US Hyperliquid is engaging with the CFTC/SEC to enable U.S.-regulated companies to offer perpetual futures that trade and settle on its public blockchain. I think Hyperliquid should take that ambition one step further: Acquire a regulated U.S. platform like Gemini and turn it into the de facto regulated HIP-3 and HIP-4 venue in the U.S. Gemini went public in September 2025 at a $3.3B valuation. Today, it trades at roughly $450M, down more than 85% from its IPO valuation. The core business is clearly struggling. Gemini is too small to compete effectively with the major U.S. exchanges for spot or derivatives flow. It has no meaningful liquidity moat and limited crypto-native distribution. The company has already started diversifying toward its credit card and prediction markets businesses. More telling is that Gemini is in outright shrinking mode. It has wound down its UK, EU, and Australia operations, cut headcount roughly 40% from peak to about 402 employees, and guided to lower compensation and technology spend for the year. Assets on platform fell from $18.2B to $8.4B year over year and spot volume dropped 66%. This is a company retreating to its core and cutting burn. But what looks like a challenged standalone business could be a strategic asset at a fire-sale price. For roughly $450M, Hyperliquid could acquire Gemini's entire U.S. regulatory stack, which I think could be worth ~$200M on its own: - NYDFS Trust Charter: custody + New York exchange authority (2015) - DCM: Gemini Titan, CFTC-regulated derivatives venue (Dec. 2025) - DCO: Gemini Olympus, CFTC clearing license (Apr. 2026) - FCM: in progress, completing the CFTC derivatives stack - MTLs: money-transmitter licenses across nearly all U.S. states - Broker-dealer: rails for regulated equities For context, @krakenfx's parent paid up to $550M for Bitnomial, effectively acquiring a regulatory and derivatives infrastructure asset with little operating business attached. Gemini's entire market cap is now below that. Yes, Hyperliquid would inherit a business currently losing roughly $30–40M per quarter operationally. But it would also acquire a meaningful operating footprint: - 580K monthly transacting users (Q2'26) - 1.72M lifetime transacting users - $8.4B of assets on platform - $3.8B quarterly spot volume - $3.1B institutional / -= $0.7B retail - $45.5M quarterly revenue, or ~$180M annualized - 106K active card users - ~$485M quarterly card spend and ~$220M of receivables - A regulated prediction-markets business with 27K+ traders and 225M+ contracts since launch At a $450M valuation, that's roughly $290 per funded customer. For comparison, @Robinhoodapp paid roughly $400 per funded customer for Bitstamp, despite acquiring about half the revenue and no comparable U.S. federal license stack. Kraken paid roughly $790 per funded user for NinjaTrader. And Gemini's users already hold an average of roughly $14.5K of assets on platform. In other words, you could argue that the regulatory stack alone goes a long way toward underwriting the purchase price, while the users, assets, revenue, card business, and prediction markets come on top. The most interesting part is that Hyperliquid could potentially finance the acquisition without touching a single burned HYPE token. The community reserve holds roughly 389M HYPE. Spending ~7.9M HYPE at $70 would represent approximately $550M — just 2.0% of the reserve, under 1% of max supply, and roughly 3% of HYPE's ~$18.5B circulating market cap — enough to acquire Gemini outright at a ~20% premium to its current market cap. Hyperliquid could then redirect a portion of protocol buybacks toward rebuilding the reserve. At the current fee run rate, the reserve could potentially be replenished within 12–18 months. The strategic logic is bigger than simply buying an exchange. Hyperliquid would be buying the regulatory bridge between HIP-3/4 and the U.S. market. Gemini could become one of Hyperliquid's HIP-3 and HIP-4 markets, the regulated U.S. deployer, handling KYC, custody, fiat rails, brokerage, clearing, and compliance while the L1 provides the underlying market infrastructure, liquidity, and onchain settlement. Mechanically, this transaction is far simpler than most public-company M&A. Gemini's dual-class structure gives Class B shares ten votes each, and the Winklevoss twins hold all of them, roughly 94.7% of total voting power. It is a Nasdaq-designated controlled company. There is no proxy fight, no activist interloper, no drawn-out process. Board approval and a majority of voting power both run through two people. The entire negotiation is whether Cameron and Tyler want to convert a controlling stake in a declining exchange into a meaningful HYPE position and the distinction of bringing Hyperliquid onshore. On structure, the buyer wouldn't be the protocol or the foundation directly. NYDFS probabl wants a US entity with named officers, not an offshore foundation. The path is a Delaware HoldCo, funded by the Hyper Foundation but legally distinct, that acquires Gemini and keeps the regulated subsidiaries intact. The L1 stays a separate permissionless layer that never touches a US customer. Polymarket already ran this playbook. Offshore, non-KYC, with a CFTC settlement on its record, it bought QCEX (a licensed DCM/DCO) for $112M in July 2025, ring-fenced it as a US entity, and relaunched onshore in December. Hyperliquid starts from a better position: no enforcement history, US users geofenced, and active dialogue with both agencies. Hyperliquid generates substantial cash flow and sits on an enormous treasury. It should be much more aggressive about deploying both strategically. let's stop the buy back and burns and play offense.

Aalcee (@AlDas1405) reportedMost companies treat impersonation as a user-education problem: “Watch out for scams.” “Check the URL.” “Never share your password.” But users will always make mistakes. @krakenfx is taking a different route. If someone calls saying they’re from Kraken, users can now check inside the app if the call is actually from them. They can even challenge the caller with a one-time code. It flips the responsibility. Instead of expecting users to figure out who’s fake, just give them a way to check who’s real. Much better than another “stay vigilant” warning.

Ronaldo🧡DOG BITCOIN🇧🇷 (@ronaldocryptdog) reported@0xMrPinky Most people missed out on Bitcoin at $1… Then at $100… Then at $1,000. They watched others change their lives forever. Now, history is offering a second chance. $DOG isn't just another memecoin. It is the people's coin within the Bitcoin ecosystem. A real opportunity to get in early again before the rest of the world wakes up. Don't be the person who says "I almost bought it" all over again. $DOG. The second chance is here. $DOG is available on @krakenfx. When Bitcoin explodes, $DOG will go with it, and there won't be another chance to buy it cheap. $DOG was created in the final block of the 2024 halving by the Runestone system. Study $DOG and change your life.
