US and Japan Regulators Discuss Crypto Oversight in High-Level Strategic Talks

Hyperliquid (HYPE), one of the largest decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the 
crypto sector, is preparing a significant upgrade that could reshape how new 
projects launch tokens on its platform. The proposal, known as HIP-6, 
introduces a framework designed to enable permissionless, on-chain token 
launches without relying on the off‑chain capital-raising methods that many 
teams currently use. New Hyperliquid Proposal Details of the proposal were 
shared on social media by James Evans of Reciprocal Ventures. According to 
Evans, HIP-6 establishes a permissionless token launch auction for new HIP-1 
assets, specifically tailored for teams seeking to issue tokens directly on 
Hyperliquid. The system adapts Uniswap’s continuous clearing auction model to 
function within Hyperliquid’s central limit order book (CLOB) environment, 
allowing token launches to occur natively within the exchange’s 
infrastructure. Related Reading: Jane Street Faces New Lawsuit: Trump Media 
Calls For Federal Investigation At present, while HIP-1 and HIP-2 already 
allow permissionless token deployment and automated liquidity provisioning, 
gaps remain in capital formation and price discovery. Teams launching tokens 
on Hyperliquid often need to secure funding off chain, manually provide their 
own liquidity to seed HIP-2 pools, or release tokens into relatively thin 
order books. These limitations have meant that, despite its technical 
strengths, Hyperliquid has not yet reached feature parity with other high- 
performance ecosystems and exchanges when it comes to initial token offerings. 
HIP-6 is designed to close that gap, though participation will remain optional 
for projects. By integrating capital raising and liquidity seeding into a 
single on-chain flow, the proposal aims to simplify the process for founders. 
Funds raised during the auction would be split automatically between the token 
deployer and liquidity provision through HIP-2, reducing operational friction 
and reliance on external arrangements. Auction Structure And Ecosystem Growth 
A core component of the proposal is its approach to price discovery. Instead 
of a one‑time auction vulnerable to timing strategies, HIP-6 uses a continuous 
clearing auction that unfolds over multiple blocks. This structure is intended 
to determine a fair market price while minimizing the “sniping” and 
last‑minute bidding behavior often seen in traditional token launches. The 
upgrade also seeks to strengthen the broader ecosystem around Hyperliquid. By 
creating utility for aligned quote assets, HIP-6 could contribute to higher 
total value locked (TVL) in those assets and generate yield for the platform’s 
Assistance Fund. Related Reading: Circle Tops Q4 Revenue Forecasts, Shares 
Surge 30% — Key Numbers Inside While HIP-6 addresses how new tokens raise 
funds and establish initial liquidity, it does not dictate how those tokens 
create long-term value or how their governance systems operate. Mechanisms 
such as revenue sharing, buybacks, staking rewards, treasury oversight, or 
voting rights would remain up to individual projects. Similarly, tokenholder 
protections—such as treasury lockups, on-chain transparency requirements, or 
vesting schedules affecting both buyers and team allocations—would need to be 
built on top of the HIP-6 framework. The proposal’s stated objective is to 
make the initial auction process as efficient and equitable as possible, 
leaving post-launch design choices to the creativity of the Hyperliquid 
community. At the time of writing, HYPE, the platform’s native token, was 
trading at $27.430, representing a 3% drop over the previous 24 hours.

Spot Bitcoin (BTC) Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have shown strength amid the 
crypto market’s correction and the flagship crypto’s latest performance. Some 
experts have praised investors’ resilience, suggesting that the “real story” 
is not in the recent outflows. Related Reading: Ethereum’s Fate Hangs On This 
Multi-Year Support – Recovery Or Deeper Pullback Next? ETFs Investors Hold 
Strong Despite Market Downturn On Thursday, Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF 
Institute, affirmed that Bitcoin ETF investors have “largely displayed diamond 
hands” during the recent crypto market downturn. The flagship crypto has seen 
a 48.2% correction from its October 6, 2025, all-time high (ATH), recording 
five consecutive months of strong bleeding after the October 10 market crash. 
Since then, spot BTC ETFs have seen about $6.5 billion in outflows, the expert 
observed, which he considers a “drop in the bucket” compared to the $55 
billion in cumulative total net inflows that the category has seen since 
launching in January 2024. It’s worth noting that crypto-based investment 
products have seen five weeks of outflows this year, with Bitcoin having the 
weakest sentiment among major assets amid the negative market sentiment of the 
past month. According to SoSoValue data, BTC funds have recorded $3.81 billion 
in net outflows since January 23, starting the week with $203.82 million in 
outflows on Monday. However, Geraci highlighted potential renewed demand for 
the investment products as the category sees a three-day streak of consistent 
inflows. Notably, Bitcoin ETFs have seen over $1 billion in inflows over the 
past three days, setting the stage for their potential biggest week since mid- 
January. The ETF expert emphasized that 50% drawdowns “are a walk in the park 
for long-time BTC investors,” but observed that newer ETF investors also 
appear unfazed by the current market conditions. “Not first time btc has 
experienced 50% decline &amp; likely won’t be the last. ETF investors clearly 
aren’t panicking, though. Apparently buying the dip,” he wrote on X. Bitcoin 
ETFs Strength Is The ‘Real Story’ Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst 
Eric Balchunas backed Geraci’s comment, praising the remarkable performance of 
spot Bitcoin ETFs over the past two years. “As an ETF watcher, you know just 
how absurd this strength amid a 50% drawdown,” Balchunas stated. “This is the 
real story, vs focusing on the $6b that came out, which most stories do.” 
“Further, the narrative that crypto is &#8216;paying the price&#8217; for getting 
financialized is absurd. $55b in net new cash in two years is the opposite of 
paying the price,” he added on X. In a recent interview, the senior analyst 
observed that the amount of Bitcoin held by ETFs is only down around 6% 
despite the market pullback. He noted that these types of corrections happen 
to every asset, including bonds and stocks, before recovering. Stocks have the 
same thing. Every time stocks go down, I remind myself and then other people 
that stocks have a 100% perfect record of coming back to hit all-time highs 
from a downturn. So, why would I worry that much, right? Related Reading: XRP

Balchunas affirmed that these assets can have “really horrible streaks, but 
then when they come back around, the flows come back.” He concluded that the 
price volatility and the negative market sentiment are “the cost of the holy 
grail returns that most people have gotten.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com,
