SongShu, a former Swarms Foundation member and founder of NexGen Venture, said he sold Long platform’s $AI and BSC-based $bStocks and shifted both capital and attention to $BLINK, disclosing that he now holds more than 2% of the token. He framed the move not as a bet on a fairer market, but as a wager that user behavior in crypto will remain the same: people chase winners, compete for early access, show positions, and let profit and loss validate their judgment. In his view, Blink’s potential does not rest on a fairness slogan alone. He argued that the product could matter if it turns already-existing market behavior — token launches, early-position competition, FOMO-driven participation, public theses, social distribution, and fee generation — into a verifiable and repeatable product loop. He also positioned Blink as a possible issuance and user-acquisition layer for Fomo rather than a replacement for it, while stressing that Fomo and Blink are independent platforms and that some of the product logic he described remains his own proposal rather than a live feature set. SongShu also listed the conditions that would invalidate his thesis, including failure to bring net new funded users to Fomo, weak retention after initial launches, bot or multi-wallet circumvention, poor creator repeat issuance, and a lack of transparent, sustained, verifiable fee capture.

A Bitcoin address that had been inactive since July 16, 2011 moved 49.97 BTC on August 6, 2026, ending a stretch of more than 14 years without any transactions. Galaxy Research said the transfer took place at 20:14 UTC in block 961331. The stash, acquired in mid-2011 for roughly $500 at an average basis near $10 per coin, is now worth about $3.23 million at a price near $65,000, representing a gain of 634,347%. Arkham Intelligence data shows the receiving wallet later sent the funds to a wallet labeled FalconX. FalconX is a prime broker serving trading firms and institutions rather than a retail exchange. The transfer path does not confirm a sale, but it places the coins closer to professional trading infrastructure and leaves open the possibility of consolidation, collateral use, or a later sale. Decrypt noted that old Bitcoin wallets waking up is a recurring pattern. It cited similar moves in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a nearly 50,000 BTC transfer in 2024 that analysts linked to exchange or custodian rebalancing. As of Friday, the BTC remained in the receiving address.

A long-form article republished by WuBlockchain argues that Trade[XYZ] has become the dominant force inside Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 framework, accounting for roughly 98% of HIP-3 trading volume as of June 2026. The piece, written by Mohit Pandit and translated by TechFlow, frames Trade[XYZ] not as an existential threat to Hyperliquid, but as a value-accretive operator that built liquid perpetual markets for equities, indices, commodities, and FX while leaving core protocol infrastructure, users, matching activity, and buyback-linked fee flows with Hyperliquid. The article says Trade[XYZ] built that market in eight months and presents it as evidence that HIP-3 can support professionally run, institution-grade non-crypto perpetuals. It also claims that about 97% of Trade[XYZ]-related volume was executed through Hyperliquid’s own app and API rather than Trade[XYZ]’s native frontend, and that HIP-3 traders generated about $37.9 million in total fees, with roughly $14.3 million flowing to the protocol side for HYPE buybacks. The report also details launch speed, order book depth, market-maker participation, risk management tooling, fee structures, and the argument that Hyperliquid should not directly list these markets itself, in part because of regulatory exposure.
