Jeff Yan says Hyperliquid is closer to Linux-style public infrastructure than an exchange

At Blockworks Digital Asset Summit Asia in Singapore on Oct. 7, 2026, Hyperliquid Labs co-founder and CEO Jeff Yan laid out a broader vision for Hyperliquid beyond perpetual futures, framing the protocol as neutral financial infrastructure rather than a direct rival to any single exchange. In a conversation with Blockworks research analyst Shaunda Devens, Yan discussed how Hyperliquid is adding a compact set of composable building blocks — including HIP-3, HIP-4, cross margin, native lending, priority fees and permission controls — to support a wider range of financial activity. Yan argued that each core component should be narrowly designed but broadly useful, so developers can combine them into products that users actually want. He pointed to HIP-4 as a possible base layer for options and options-like payoff structures, and said spot markets, options and a high-quality asset issuance layer are among the clearest next steps for the network. He also said HIP-3-related real-world-asset markets had grown into a major source of expansion, with open interest rising from about 300 million in January to 3.9 billion by the time of the interview. The discussion also covered HIP-3*, a testnet extension that adds optional permission controls, including whitelist-based access, and priority fees, which Yan described as an attempt to internalize the negative externalities of latency competition. On market transparency, he said open order flow and onchain order books can improve execution and fairness by making information broadly accessible rather than concentrating it in privileged intermediaries.

OKX says Treasuries, credit and equities are moving on-chain as real allocation

OKX said in a post on X that assets including Treasuries, credit, equities and gold are moving on-chain. The exchange described the shift as no longer an experiment, but a case of real asset allocation. OKX also encouraged users to trade real-world assets on its platform. The statement frames tokenized exposure to traditional assets as an active market development rather than a trial phase, with OKX explicitly naming several asset classes in its message.

Securitize launches tokenized U.S. stock trading on Solana

Securitize has rolled out a tokenized U.S. stock trading service on the Solana blockchain under the name Securitize Stock. The offering is available to eligible investors in the United States and Europe and gives access to 12 major equities: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet (Google), Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Circle, SpaceX, Strategy, and Palantir. According to the report cited by Techub News, each tokenized stock is backed 1:1 by real shares, and holders receive the same traditional shareholder rights tied to those shares. The launch adds a new on-chain route for qualified investors seeking exposure to major U.S. equities through tokenized instruments on Solana.

Fidelity and UBS executives say institutional move on-chain has passed the point of no return

Institutional adoption of tokenized assets is no longer a tentative experiment, according to executives from Fidelity Investments and UBS speaking at the Longitude conference in Singapore, as cited by Cointelegraph. Matthew Horne, head of digital asset strategy at Fidelity Investments, said the past 18 months have shown a real institutional push toward an on-chain future for financial assets and that the shift has effectively become irreversible. He said tokenization gives financial institutions structural advantages and opens new markets for asset managers, with U.S. firms facing especially strong incentives to bring assets on-chain. UBS executive Ka Yan Chan said core portfolio assets such as government bonds and equities could bring billions of dollars onto blockchain rails. In her view, the jump from billions to trillions will depend on market infrastructure operators such as the Federal Reserve or DTCC moving the custody layer onto tokenized platforms first, allowing the rest of the industry to build distribution on top. The report also cited a 41% rise in tokenized asset demand over the past 30 days, more than 493,000 holders, over $1.2 billion moved on-chain in the same period, and a combined stablecoin and tokenized asset market above $323 billion.

Pendle launches srnOPAL fixed-yield market backed by Brazilian credit card receivables

Pendle, a DeFi yield protocol, has launched the srnOPAL fixed-yield market, with Brazilian credit card receivables serving as the underlying asset. The product lets users lock in a fixed return tied to a real-world asset structure rather than a purely crypto-native source of yield. At the same time, the market carries added risk exposure tied to credit quality and counterparty performance. The update was reported by Techub News, which cited Crypto Briefing as the source. No additional product details, including yield levels or market size, were disclosed in the input. The announcement places srnOPAL within the growing set of tokenized or real-world-asset-linked yield offerings now appearing in DeFi, though the source text only confirms the launch, the asset backing, the fixed-yield feature, and the associated risks.

Solana stablecoin holder addresses top 14.02 million as supply passes $15 billion

Stablecoin holder addresses on Solana have climbed past 14.02 million, setting a new all-time high and rising sharply from fewer than 4 million at the end of 2024. The network’s stablecoin supply has also moved above $15 billion, while cumulative stablecoin card transaction volume has exceeded $1 billion. Separately, the Solana Foundation launched Solana DvP on Oct. 6, an open-source delivery-versus-payment framework designed to settle tokenized assets and cash in a single atomic transaction. The system uses a segregated custody model and is aimed at completing settlement within seconds while reducing the risk that one side of a trade settles and the other does not. J.P. Morgan provided input on institutional settlement needs during development, and the audited Solana DvP standard is intended for tokenized stocks, funds, and other real-world assets, according to Bitcoin.com News.
