Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 market has expanded quickly, with its share of the platform’s total perpetual futures trading volume rising from about 2% at the start of the year to nearly 50%, according to Odaily. HIP-3 is Hyperliquid’s permissionless framework that lets developers deploy perpetual contract markets. The increase has coincided with rising retail interest in on-chain stock trading. At present, the HIP-3 segment is led mainly by TradeXYZ, which has rolled out markets including XYZ100, a contract tracking the Nasdaq 100 Index, as well as single-stock related contracts tied to names such as Nvidia and Tesla. The figures point to a sharp shift in where activity is occurring inside Hyperliquid’s perp ecosystem, with developer-launched markets taking a much larger share than they did earlier this year.

Gondor, a DeFi startup built around Polymarket, said it is launching Gondor v1, which it describes as the first margin account product for Polymarket. The release is expected to go live publicly in September. Under the new version, users will be able to manage cross-margin across their full Polymarket holdings, borrow against the entire portfolio as collateral, and use that credit to buy additional prediction market shares. Gondor said the change expands on its beta product launched seven months ago, which mainly allowed borrowing against a single Polymarket position. By extending collateral treatment from one position to a whole portfolio, the company is aiming to improve capital efficiency for prediction market participants. Polymarket and Kalshi typically use a fully collateralized model, where users must post the full amount of risk up front and keep funds locked until an event settles. Gondor said its portfolio margin and lending structure is designed to unlock that capital, giving users extra liquidity without requiring them to immediately sell existing positions.

Jupiter, the Solana-based decentralized exchange, has rolled out a test version of Jupiter Gacha that lets collectors buy authenticated, professionally graded Pokémon and One Piece cards and trade them onchain. According to Jupiter, each "gacha" purchase corresponds to a real physical card that has been authenticated and sealed in a plastic grading case, while a token is minted onchain so the item can be traded freely on the platform. The setup ties physical collectibles to blockchain-based liquidity: the card remains a real graded collectible, and the token serves as its ownership representation or trading certificate. The model is designed to reduce friction in the circulation and settlement of collectible card transactions. The update was reported by Odaily, citing The Block.

Trump said in an interview that the United States will strike Iran’s “Gaoshan” underground nuclear facility and continue heavy air attacks on Iran tonight and tomorrow, according to Odaily, citing Jinshi. He said Washington has been closely monitoring the site and claimed there is currently no activity there. Trump also said Iran’s nuclear program is "not going very well" and added that the U.S. would bomb related targets whenever it detects relevant activity. He said a strike on “Gaoshan” could come soon. The report said the facility is located near Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment site and includes two deeply buried tunnel complexes. It is regarded as one of Iran’s most fortified underground nuclear facilities and may even be able to withstand attacks from the most powerful bunker-busting bomb currently in U.S. service. Trump also repeated that the U.S. would continue intense strikes on Iran tonight and tomorrow, saying Iran could do nothing about it.

The U.S. military will begin a maritime blockade covering all Iranian ports and coastal areas at 20:00 GMT on July 14, or 04:00 Beijing time on July 15, according to the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), which is led by the U.S. Navy. JMIC said the measure will apply to all vessels regardless of flag and will extend across Iran’s entire coastline, including its ports and oil terminals. The notice also said neutral ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian destinations will not be obstructed. Humanitarian cargo will be allowed to pass, but only after inspection. The update was cited by Odaily and attributed to Jin10.

U.S. Central Command said it began a third straight night of strikes on Iran at 4:45 p.m. Eastern Time, according to a newsflash carried by Odaily and attributed to Jin10. The statement said the operation would continue to impose heavy costs on Iran’s military and reduce its ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. No additional operational details, casualty figures, or target information were provided in the source material. The update was published by Odaily as a 7x24 newsflash.

Sui said in a post on X that institutions continue to distrust cross-chain bridges and wrapped BTC, outlining Hashi as an approach designed to keep Bitcoin in its native form on-chain. According to the post, the setup would allow BTC to remain verifiable and controllable while also being used as collateral. EvanWeb3 later provided additional explanation of the concept. Sui added that the Hashi global testnet is set to go live soon. The statement did not include a specific launch date, but it framed the upcoming testnet as the next step for the product. The update centers on a structure that avoids bridging or wrapping BTC, an issue Sui said remains a sticking point for institutional participants.
